Original subtitles

ALEX: Previously on The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers...

-WINNIE: Are you a single mom? -Yeah. So single.

The kid does not have a dad.

Technically, obviously he has a dad, but he's never been in the picture...

I'm Lauren. Outside, I'm a female warrior, and people say I dress weird.

(GRUNTS)

Hips, hands, stick.

Like a cannon.

(HESITATING) Um, I wanted to come by and congratulate you on the slap shot.

And I, uh, brought the pecan pie.

-Like to come in? -Yeah, sure.

-ALEX: Okay. -Yeah, thanks.

Okay, let's move on to a cycle give and go.

And then we'll do some corner to half wall drills.

And then we'll just let it rise.

I think the last one was for baking.

-Ha! -But, uh, pretty good.

Thank you.

Give and go to Sofi. Emphasis on "give," please.

Looking good. Looking like a team.

Thanks.

Hey, um, if you wanna get inspired, maybe we could catch a Wild game.

Minnesota Wild, they play hockey.

(CHUCKLING) Oh. You know, obviously, it's my favorite team.

They have that player Gorgan-Gorgonzola?

Yeah.

(CHUCKLING) Anyway, they're playing the Oilers on Friday

and, uh, I bought two tickets, and right now it's just me plus none.

You mean like a... Like a field trip? Like, for research?

-Exactly. -Right. Um...

Evan Morrow!

(INDISTINCT GRUNTING AND CHATTER)

-Dad! -What's up?

-How's it goin'? -What's happening?

(GRUNTS) So I just made the same entrance over at the Ducks rink

before I found out you didn't play there anymore.

Why'd you leave them? I thought they were really good.

Wow, that's Evan's dad. What is he doing here?

That guy's your ex?

Well, more like my never was.

-Hey, Blue. -Hey.

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, Dad, check this one out.

We call this the double helix.

(MAYA PANTING)

(EVAN GRUNTS)

Nice! Nice! Ev!

He's a musician.

He's on the road all the time.

Evan hasn't seen him in seven months.

That's rough.

And yet he manages to still be the cool parent.

He took Evan on this fishing trip to Pelican Lake last year.

Evan had the time of his life.

Promptly broke out in poison ivy.

So Rob gets all the credit for taking him on this amazing trip

and I spent two weeks dabbing a cranky 11-year-old

with calamine lotion so that his rash wouldn't spread.

And it did spread to me.

But I try to be nice.

I don't bad mouth him, 'cause Evan deserves to feel like he has a father,

even though he basically does not.

-Well, at least it's not eating at you. -(CHUCKLING) Exactly.

Hey, what's up?

Ha! (BLOWS RASPBERRY)

Nothing. What's up with you?

Ev says you started this whole team for him?

Yeah, it was just a crazy, spur-of-the-moment decision.

You know, we know something about that?

-Yes, we do. -(BOTH CHUCKLE)

So you didn't have time to call or text?

You know what, it's hard, 'cause I never know my schedule.

Oh, speaking of "spur-of-the-moment,"

can Ev come to my gig tonight?

I'm playing Tito's Bar and Restaurant.

No, Rob, he can't.

He's 12 years old. He can't go to a bar.

-And restaurant. -It's a school night.

He has homework. I have work. I'm behind at the office. I... (SCOFFS) No.

ROB: Oh, damn.

He's gonna be disappointed.

Rob, you asked him already?

Great. Now I'm the bad guy?

-Why... -I can take him.

I can bring him back at a reasonable hour.

Kid's got homework, right? You can't mess with that.

See, things work out. This guy can take him.

Yeah, Mom. Bombay can take me.

It would be like a guys' night.

I've been having ladies' night ever since I was born.

-Please, can I go? Please? -(ALEX SIGHS)

Please.

-Better have all your homework done... -Yes!

...and home by 9:00.

Excellent. Okay. I gotta jump. Sound check.

Thanks, guy. Evan, it is gonna be awesome.

"Gotta jump," guys.

Thank you. Be careful.

Last time I went to a bar with Rob, I ended up pregnant.

That probably won't happen with me.

Hey. You okay?

No! Someone took my cape!

Don't take this the wrong way,

but I'm not sure anyone really wants your cape.

Well, it's not here, and it's whispersilk,

and I can't go outside without it.

And everything's outside.

It's right here, under your... (RATTLES)

-conjurer stones. -(GASPS)

Okay. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)

That was kind of intense.

Why is this such a big deal?

Sorry.

(SIGHS)

In third grade, I had scoliosis and had to wear a back brace.

Everyone made fun of me.

So my dad got me this cape to hide it.

(SIGHS)

He said I was a superhero.

Third grade's a nightmare.

That's when I moved here from New York.

All the kids made fun of the way I talked.

How did you talk?

(IN NEW YORK ACCENT) Can I have a glass of water?

-Or a cup of coffee? -(LAUREN GIGGLES)

(IN NORMAL ACCENT) I sounded like a truck driver. Oh, my God.

I worked so hard to get rid of that accent, so I could fit in here.

It's pretty cool that you don't care what people think.

Well, you can talk however you want with me.

Hey, let's do a TikTok.

Do your New York voice.

Oh, yeah. But you have to talk funny, too.

Um, I know Elvish.

I don't know what that means, but, yes. (CHUCKLES)

(IN NEW YORK ACCENT) In New York, we drink coffee.

(IN ELVISH ACCENT) In Middle Earth, we drink mornechui.

(UPBEAT RAP MUSIC PLAYING)

(BOTH CHUCKLE)

-(CHUCKLES) I love it! -I'm so posting this.

Hey, Evan, that door is broken.

You gotta get in the driver's side and slide across.

-Here, give me that. -(CHUCKLING) Thanks.

GORDON: No, wait!

I use that stick to keep the glovebox shut.

-(ENGINE STARTS) -(CLASSIC FOLK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)

Sorry. The radio's stuck on classic folk.

You hate it at first,

but then after a while, you hate it even more.

(ENGINE REVS)

All my friends coming down tonight

All my friends coming down tonight

Aren't they great?

Yeah. I mean, it's basically three chords.

And then we make it all right

-Whoo! -(AUDIENCE CHEERING)

EVAN: Yeah!

That was awesome, Dad.

Yeah? Oh, thanks, man.

You know, it's basically three chords so...

EVAN: Well, how's tour going?

Crazy. Crazy. We've been all over,

uh, Jonesborough, Springfield, Bloomington.

Every night. A new town, a new motel. Same smell.

Sweet.

We stayed in this really weird place last night in Davenport. The Hartley.

Dude, I think it was haunted.

-No! -Weird footsteps outside your door?

(CHUCKLING) Yeah, yeah. How did you know?

That's Barry, their creepy night manager.

-(ROB CHUCKLES) -I'm surprised he's still there.

I thought for sure they'd find him guilty.

So you stayed there?

Yeah, back in the day when I used to play minor league hockey.

Oh, cool. So you've been on the road, too.

Oh, yeah. I mean, I practically lived on the team bus.

-Oh, yeah. -We'd do some crazy things.

Like we converted the toilet hookup into a beer keg.

And if you had to go, you had to go out the window.

Dude, we used to hang our drummer out the window.

-Our first drummer. -(AL CHUCKLING)

We would have these crazy food eating contests.

-Oh, yeah. -Pizza, sliders,

-and one time, I ate 50 mini tacos. -Ooh.

-I threw up afterwards. -(CHUCKLES)

But it was totally unrelated.

(ROB AND EVAN CHUCKLING)

-Enjoy. -ROB: Ah!

Wing eating contest?

I'm already winnin'.

No way.

(EVAN CHUCKLES)

Twelve.

-This will be 13. -Okay.

More wings.

GORDON: Oh, mmm.

That's 27.

-Are you thinking what I'm thinking? -Yeah.

-BOTH: More hot sauce. -Whoa.

Forty-two?

(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)

Guys, guys. It's my mom.

Hey, Mom.

ALEX: Hi! I've been texting and calling. Any idea what time it is?

-Wing time. -Not funny.

Yeah. Sorry. Bad joke.

I'm outside. Get your butt out here now.

Okay. Love you.

Say it back, please.

-I love you. Hustle! -Okay, bye.

She's waiting outside. I gotta go.

-I'll walk you out. Unless you want to. -No.

Bye, Dad.

I guess I won.

(KEYPAD CLACKING)

Thanks for letting me walk into that buzz saw, bro.

She was so angry, she almost ran over my foot.

Yeah, I've had a lot of experience disappointing her over the years.

You know, chasing my dream.

Right. Good for you, you're still going for it.

If you want my advice on making up with her,

I had this one move. Always worked.

No, it's not like that between us. No.

-Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed that... -No. No, it's okay. No, no.

We're good.

What was that move?

So, uh...

Dad said he can come to our game Thursday.

Yeah? That'll be great.

It's late. You should get some sleep.

We're playing against the Hawks.

They're the second worst team in the league.

BOTH: Might actually beat 'em.

-And Dad will be there to see it. -And that'll be great.

-I know what you're thinking. -(GASPS) What am I thinking?

You're thinking that he's not gonna show up.

And you're just saying all this good stuff

to make me feel better about him or whatever.

Come on. I was smiling. I was upbeat.

Mom, I get who Dad is.

You don't have to keep faking it for me.

Wow.

(SIGHS) All right. The truth is, he's not always a reliable guy.

So I know he said he's gonna be there,

but he might not be there.

I know, but I just feel like hoping he's gonna be there.

Can we, for a minute, believe that he'll show up?

Yeah, we can do that. (CHUCKLES)

Come here. Oh! Good night. (KISSES)

-Good night. -Excuse me.

Do I smell beer on your breath?

-No, no, no. It's... it's on my shirt. -Oh, so much better.

-EVAN: Good night. -Good night. I love you.

I love you, too.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING ON CELL PHONE)

Man. Maya's new TikTok is sick.

-Yeah. -Is that the one she did with me?

Oh. No, not with you.

Where's mine?

Um...

I don't see it here.

I guess your TikTok didn't make her feed.

Why wouldn't she post our TikTok?

I think I know why.

But I'm scared to say, for I am small and you have nunchucks.

So for the next TikTok,

I was thinking maybe, is matching outfits too much?

What's going on?

Our video isn't cool enough for your friends?

Okay. It's a hockey thing.

I was trying to protect you from people making fun of you.

Oh, come on. I'm not an idiot.

You can't just be nice to me when your normies aren't around.

That's not being friends.

Okay, so here's a brief for you to redline.

I won't look at it until tomorrow.

I have a charity event to save the manatees tonight,

which, honestly, if nature wants to let them go, I'll say, maybe it's time.

Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.

You seem a little distracted.

Let's bring some of that Slap Shot Challenge energy to your actual job.

(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Sorry, Evan's, uh, dad is in town

and he kept him out last night at a bar until midnight.

(GASPS) Your life is so colorful.

It's a kaleidoscope.

Yeah, I remember that guy.

-Musician, right? I'm jealous. -Mmm-hmm.

You know, I always fall for the stable, MBA, titan-of-industry types.

-I'm so boring. -(GRUNTS)

You always go for the rebels.

Evan's dad. Now Bombay.

-What? -Oh, come on.

I saw some chemistry between you guys, and he's certainly your type.

You know, I have to scoot.

(SIGHS) Time to drink Prosecco and save some fat animals.

(SIGHS SOFTLY)

Alex. (SIGHS)

-Hi. -Hi.

Uh, last night...

(HESITATES) I'm sorry. It was crazy.

There were wings, hot sauce.

I mean, it was all a blur. Anyway, we're sorry.

(SCOFFS)

A unicorn. (SCOFFS) Bombay gave me a unicorn.

Are you mad because it has a horn?

'Cause it was just born that way.

No, I'm mad because this is exactly what Rob, my ex, used to do.

He'd give me a stuffed animal every time he screwed up.

That was his move.

How could I be so stupid?

Do you ever feel like you're just attracted to the same kind of guy?

No. No. All my guys, totally different.

There's the cocoa guy.

The mustard guy, the pretzel guy.

The hot dog guy, the pretzel hot dog guy.

(SIGHS) Oh, hi. Um, listen, something came up,

so I'm not gonna be able to make it to the Wild game after all.

Thanks, but no thanks.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)

GIRL: Oh, that's so cool...

Uh, just one second, you guys.

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey.

I feel terrible. Can we talk?

Lauren?

Wait. Are you friends with her?

We're on a hockey team together.

This is a hockey thing.

Are you still mad? I'm trying to apologize.

It's fine. Okay?

We can talk about this later.

Just walk away.

Wait. (SCOFFS) Oh, my God. You're embarrassed.

You don't want your cosplay crew to know you're friends with me.

Well, you don't know the difference between a longsword and a rapier.

Do you know how lame you seem?

(SCOFFS) I was feeling all guilty.

But you're just as bad.

-(MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS) -So how'd it go with Alex?

Did she, uh, like the unicorn?

Oh, yeah.

That move you said always worked. Didn't work.

What?

-It's happy hour. Free wings? -(GROANS)

-No. -Who doesn't like free wings?

So what are you doing tomorrow night?

You wanna maybe hit a Wild game?

Yeah, yeah. That sounds great.

Speaking of hockey,

it's almost time for that Don't Bothers game.

-(CELL PHONE CHIMES) -Wait, wait. No freakin' way.

-Yes. Yes! -What? What is it?

My manager has been trying to get us a gig in Madison and it just came through.

Uh, it's ours if we can get there by 9:00.

-Okay. -Tonight? What about Evan's game?

Gordo, this is a college gig. I mean, this could be it.

But Evan was really excited about having you there.

I'm just gonna have to make it up to him. The band's meeting at the airport.

-So you're calling Evan? -I'm getting an Uber.

Look, I don't wanna throw Evan off right before his game.

Do you think you could tell him? Look, I hate to miss it, but...

Madison is a straight shot to Milwaukee, and it could...

(SIGHS) I don't wanna get ahead of myself.

You know what? Forget about Uber.

I'll take you to the airport.

You can't miss this.

-Seriously? -Yeah.

Dude. That's what I love about you, man.

You get it, you get the dream.

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

Let's get 'em!

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Hey, don't worry about your dad. Okay? We can really beat these guys.

Yeah, sure.

-Go on. Get out there. Have fun. -SPECTATOR: Whoo-hoo!

MARY JOE: Hi. It's Mary Joe and my dad, Terry,

here at the Ice Palace where the oh-and-five Don't Bothers

are facing off against the one-and-four Hawks.

It's the battle for the basement.

Get ready for some not great hockey. (CHUCKLES)

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

PLAYER: Hey, hey, hey, hey!

(GRUNTS)

-(WHISTLE BLOWS) -Hey!

REFEREE: Number eleven, cross check, two minutes. Get in the box.

Are you okay?

REFEREE: Cross check. Get in there!

(SLAMS DOOR)

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

That's a first.

I don't think I've ever seen a player penalized before the game even starts.

I mean, no dad can be there for every moment of his kid's life.

You just have to make the moments you are there count.

Evan had a blast at my gig.

He'll always remember that.

Oh, hey, this is the street you wanna take to the airport.

You missed it.

You know, Rob, I was ten years old when my dad died.

It was devastating.

And after that, I missed a big penalty shot in the state finals.

Didn't matter.

What mattered, was all of those nights when I'd look up in the stands,

and I'd see my dad cheering me on.

No matter what.

I mean, you and Evan still have each other in your lives and I'm envious.

Yeah.

Oh, hey, if you turn right at the next street, you can take 34th to the airport.

It's just right...

What are you doing, huh?

-You're going the wrong way. -Am I?

(CHUCKLES) All right, this isn't funny.

I'm gonna miss my flight. I'm serious.

Turn around.

I'm getting out.

(DOOR RATTLES)

Door is broken, man.

Okay. Stop! Stop the truck.

This is kidnapping.

Is it?

(PLAYERS GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS)

(WHISTLE BLOWS)

(CROWD CHEERING)

(SIGHS)

Sit.

-(GROANING) -GORDON: Evan!

(GRUNTS)

(CHUCKLES)

Right, he's 11.

He's number 11. Keep your eyes on 11.

(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)

(EVAN GRUNTING)

(GRUNTS)

-EVAN: Yeah! -(GOAL ALARM SOUNDS)

All right, all right. Way to go, Ev.

All right, I'm gonna get going 'cause I got...

-Yeah, no. -Okay. All right.

SPECTATOR: Whoo!

(ALL GRUNTING)

(EVAN GRUNTS)

-(GOAL ALARM SOUNDS) -Look at that.

Wow, wow, Ev. Ev!

Whoo!

Way to go, one-one, way to go, one-one.

(GRUNTS)

-Yeah! -(GOAL ALARM SOUNDS)

Nice!

Yeah!

Hat trick! That's a hat trick!

I've never seen Morrow play with such intensity.

He's in beast mode!

(EVAN GRUNTS)

(GOAL ALARM SOUNDS)

Whoo! Yes!

All right, guys. We score, we win.

So get out there and have fun and let's beat these guys.

Let's do the double helix and bring this home!

-ALEX: Yeah! -Not really feelin' it.

Yeah, me neither.

Look, I don't know what's going on at school with your little clique fight.

I've never been in a clique.

Tried to start one once.

Lot of nibbles, no bites.

But you two are magic together here on the ice.

Monday, you two can go back to being embarrassed to be seen together,

but right now, Evan's dad is here, and my boy needs this win.

So, ladies, top of the helix.

-ALEX: Let's go! -Go!

-Come on! -ALEX: Yeah!

Hey, Nick. Good speech.

Thanks.

(BLOWS WHISTLE)

EVAN: Oh, yeah!

Oh, oh, this is called a double helix.

(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)

-EVAN: Pass the puck! -Come on, come on, come on.

-Yeah! -Yeah!

-Whoo! -He crushed it! He crushed it!

(BUZZER SOUNDS)

(ALL CHEERING)

-Yeah! -We won!

Let's go!

(EXCITED CHATTER)

Yes! Evan! That was awesome!

Oh, my gosh.

Yes! The Don't Bothers just won their first game.

-We did it! We did it! -Yeah. Let's go!

(ALL CHEERING)

(MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY OVER CELL PHONE)

-Hey, Rob. -No, I didn't make it to Madison.

I missed the plane.

Some crazy guy kidnapped me.

Hey, good game.

-Uh, great game. -(CHUCKLES)

Hey, um, you know, I moved some stuff around

if you wanted to still go to that Wild game.

Actually, I was thinking about inviting Evan to, uh, celebrate the win.

I mean, if you're okay with it.

Oh.

Yeah. That's a good idea.

It's a great idea. (CHUCKLES)

-Okay. Good night. -Good night, Coach.

(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)

(INDISTINCT CHATTER)

Oh, look.

Whoa. Guys, check out Lauren.

Hey, have you guys seen Maya?

-No. -No.

MAYA: Hey, Lauren.

Do you like it?

It's whispersilk.

(CHUCKLES) This is Brandy Melville.

Wow. See, we're not just good together on the ice.

We're good together everywhere.

And I'm not embarrassed.

I don't care who knows.

I'm a little embarrassed, but I'll get over it.

NICK: All right, you two. SAM: Yeah.

Big cookie on me. Who wants one?

LAUREN: I'll take one. SAM: Me. Chocolate chip.

-Cinnamon chip. -Okay.

Yo, Evan.

Go ahead, Trevor. Mock me all you want. Can't ruin my day.

I'm not.

Coach T was at your game last night.

Wants to see you.

It's about the Ducks.
