The Stinger! What's happening?

You take good care of Charlotte?

You know it. She's my freak of the week.

Shadow, damn you.

You know how people die and donate their eyeballs?

l'm donating my dick to Charlotte.

Here comes my nervous breakdown. See you later.

Why's what's her name crying?

Her and her boyfriend are breaking up.

Bet l know why.

Most guys aren't as understanding as l am.

l know that, Stef.

What'd you do, swim to school?

Yeah, my chauffeur was late.

Hi !

You got my English?

Oh, yeah. Your English.

l got your English right here.

You want your English? You want his English? No?

l'm not sure about 20 and 21 .

How do you guys know

all that stuff about punts and kicks and hand-offs

and not know how to conjugate a verb?

What's a verb, dear?

What's a hand-on, dear?

l don't know.

You know what a hand-on is. l taught you Saturday night.

Stef!

See you at lunch.

Yeah, you're buyin', right?

[Bell Rings]

Tracy, come on.

Tracy, come on ! Come on.

All right, brain pump.

Harry!

Hey, brothers.

Give me a break, man !

Vinnie.

She keeps looking back here.

Do it.

No way. No. Come on.

Come on. No.

Guinea!

Okay.

Vuch. Vuch. Vinnie!

Ohh !

You got something to share with us, Mr. Salvucci?

Can l leave the room?

Yeah, l think you'd better.

Don't tell me that hurt.

Yes, it hurt, asswipe.

lt's my talent. You ruined my chances for a scholarship!

Vin, have you heard from any recruiters yet?

Stef, who's kidding who?

The only reason l'm playing is because Plasewitz is hurt.

Hey, You still got a shot.

Right, for welfare.

Stef?

Are you in here?

Stef?

l got the lunch. [Gasps, Giggles]

You are my lunch.

Scared the shit out of you, huh, Litski?

No.

Next time, you go. l almost got busted.

You want me to get busted? Mm-hmm.

No one's gonna put you on report the week of the Walnut Heights game.

Yeah, Walnut Heights, huh?

[Chuckles]

There's gonna be recruiters there from every college l want to go to.

All to see Stefen Djordjevic.

Only it's no joke.

Walnut Heights has the best halfback in the state.

l knock him on his ass, l'll have my pick of colleges.

Pick one near home, huh?

Yeah, l'd like to. This is my shot.

This is my way out, Friday night.

l got to go to the best school

with the best engineering program.

Djordjevic's have been humping steel out of this town for years.

Grandpa, Pop, Greg.

lt's about time one of us

had something to say about the stuff after it's been made.

And it's going to be me.

You're making fun of me. You're laughing.

No. Uh-uh. Yes, you are.

Those fries are terrible.

[Door Opens]

ls someone in here?

ls it you, Salvucci?

lf it is, you're in bad trouble.

[Giggling]

An invitation to the University of Southern Cal !

Bullshit.

No. No bullshit. A full fucking ride, man !

We're getting out of here, buddy!

Oh, shit!

Excuse me, ladies.

Brian Riley is going to S.C. , motherfuckers!

All l gotta do is maintain my fantastic 2.0 average.

The bonehead is going to Hollywood.

Take us with you.

We make you look good.

No more shoveling snow!

No, but you will be shoveling earthquakes.

l'll be playing in the Rose Bowl.

You'll watch me on TV.

[Blowing Raspberry]

You going to Hollywood? You're going to have to learn to dress.

And dance.

You got to be cool, man.

One, two. Come on, now. Come on, now.

Check it out, Bri.

Fox, show me how to do that.

Move your hands like you're a puppet.

This shit comes in handy. You got it, baby!

Mouse, wake up and check this out.

Not bad for a white boy, eh?

You look horrible. No wonder you keep getting beat on defense.

Who's wearing the letter, pal?

Riles, you ain't never gonna be one of them male exotic dancers.

lt's a good thing.

Just tease a little bit. Don't give it too much. Oh, yeah.

Oh, Charlotte. Charlotte!

Ladies!

Five minutes.

Look, l've been up all night with this thing.

l want you to take a look at this.

lf we play these guys straight up, they're gonna blow us out, huh?

But if we neutralize their running game and force them to pass,

that way we can take away the edge they got on us.

We'll put our linemen a yard and a half off the ball, four-point stance.

62 stack. Yeah.

Submarine every play.

A goal-line defense the entire game.

Yeah, they're never gonna expect it.

When Alexander comes up to the line,

all he's gonna find is a pile of people.

What if he tries to break around end?

We got our linebackers and corner there to contain him.

lf they try to pass, we're too quick for them.

Nobody's ever tried it.

But if it works, we're geniuses.

lf it doesn't, what have we got to lose?

Our lives.

Right. Let's make it work, Jess.

Attack the legs of the man in front of you.

Maintain your area. You got it? Get your ass up!

Ho! Head down !

Ready! 24, blue!

Hut! 23!

22, hut!

Hut! Hut! Hut!

[Coaches Shouting] Get in there! Dig in deep!

[Shouting Continues, lndistinct]

All right, gentlemen ! All right. That was good !

What's coach got us doing?

Don't ask me. Just do it.

See who's over there watching us?

Not us. Nickerson.

Riley, Alexander, come over here!

Get over here! Riley, this is Alexander.

This is gonna be your man. You're gonna follow him the entire game.

And it's your key, that's your key!

lf he goes to take a crap, l want you to show him the way!

Understand? Can you handle this? Yes, Coach ! Yes, Coach !

Can you handle that? Yes, Coach !

l can't hear you ! All right. l trust you. Yes, Coach !

Safeties! l want you playing up here with the linebackers.

Okay, l want you reading these ends. Yes, Coach.

lf they block down, l want you shooting back there.

l want you to stick somebody!

Djordjevic, get your ass in here. Come on.

What's your key in this formation?

l cover the tailback, unless they're playing slots.

All right. They can't run against a 62 stack.

We're gonna force them to pass. All right!

Who are we? [Teammates] Ampipe!

What are we? Bulldogs!

What are we? Who we gonna beat? Bulldogs!

Keep them here all night until they get it right.

You keep running it till they get it right.

Will do, Coach.

How are we going to beat them?

[Players] Woof. Woof, woof, woof. Woof. Woof.

[Woof Chant Continues]

22, blue!

Hut! Hut!

Hi, baby.

Well? lt was great.

Those guys from Cal Poly stayed the whole time.

And?

And we're going to go grab a few beers.

Maybe eight or nine. "Eight or nine."

Oh, that's great!

Yeah, it is.

l got a good shot at defensive backfield coach.

lt's down to me and a guy from Alequippa, you know who.

Yeah. He's good, but you're better.

We'll get out of here. Yeah.

You've got a boy you can be proud of, Mr. "George-ev-itch."

We'd like him to come to our school.

Djordjevic.

l'm sorry. To play football?

And to get an education.

Would you tell us about that, please.

We'll do everything to see that he gets his diploma.

lf he's having trouble with his studies,

we have tutoring to help him get his degree.

Our people graduate, Mr. Djordjevic.

Stef, we'd like you to come and visit the campus,

take a look at the living conditions, the academic setting,

meet the coaches, some of the players.

We got two alumni in the pros now,

one of them's all-conference.

Do you want to play pro ball?

Me? [Chuckles] How about it, Pop?

No, there's not much call for a 5'1 0" white cornerback in the NFL.

l know l could do the job in college, though.

Yes, you can. You hit like a truck.

What are you looking for, Stef?

To trade football for an education, still be able to walk.

l'm going to be an engineer.

l checked your grades.

A "B" average is not going to get you an academic scholarship.

You need football.

l know that.

We offer a B.S. in engineering.

Well, Mr. Smith, l like your school.

lt's got a pretty good football team,

but honestly there's other schools l'd rather look at first.

Maybe you do belong at another school.

Because my son is good at football,

he has opportunities that otherwise would not be his.

Thank you for offering them to him.

l know what you're looking for.

But if things fall through, you've got a place with me.

Okay. Thank you.

[Father] l hope you know what you're doing. [Horn Honks]

That's Lisa. Pop, can l go? Stefen. . .

Pop, don't worry.

l'm going to get a good scholarship.

They're not beating down the door.

Wait till they see me in the Walnut Heights game.

No, no, no, Djordjevic!

What the hell are you doing here?

l've told you a thousand times,

go for the ball, not the man.

This is a footballl, see? That's a man.

Those are men running over there.

You do that in a game, we got a penalty.

l had the coverage.

What? l didn't hear you.

l had the coverage, sir. l made the play.

You do it my way or it's the highway!

All right, hustle it in ! Hustle up.

[Shouting, Woofing]

A good practice, gentlemen.

All right!

Today you're not ladies, you're gentlemen.

We got any quitters here? [Players] No, sir!

l didn't hear you. [All] No, sir!

You know what's gonna happen. You quit on this football field,

you're gonna quit school, you're gonna quit your job,

you get married, you're gonna quit your lady.

You'll be quitters and losers!

None of you are quitters and losers!

He's good. He's got talent.

He's using me, Jess.

Hey.

Relax.

They're going to give you the job.

Oh, yeah.

Oh, Christ, l hope so.

Ready.

Okay!

When l say "Ampipe," you say "Bulldogs!"

Ampipe!

Bulldogs! Bulldogs!

Let's go! Go!

All right, team, get it together.

Go, Bulldogs!

This rally. . .

This game is not just for the students.

lt's for the whole town !

[Crowd Cheering]

lt's for the mothers,

for the fathers, and the steelworkers!

And now, here's the man who's gonna bring us a victory,

and who's going to make Ampipe what it used to be,

Coach Nickerson !

Walnut Heights is undefeated.

[Booing]

Walnut Heights is ranked third in the state.

Boo!

They have a swim team, a tennis team.

They got a golf team for boys and girls!

[Booing]

But they don't have a football team like we've got!

And they don't have a student body like we have!

l've got to talk to you, man.

Tracy's pregnant. What?

Tracy's pregnant. l took her to the doctor in Pittsburgh.

[Nickerson] We will beat Walnut Heights. 'cause we're Ampipe.

This Ampipe football team can't lose!

They're going to win !

Well, how does she feel about an abortion?

You know Tracy. Not real good.

You dumb bastard.

What are you going to do? You gonna have the kid?

Austin Williams, "the Shadow." Huh?

[Cheering]

What am l supposed to do, Stef?

Captain, quarterback,

team leader,

Clarence Oliver, "Rifleman."

Talk to your recruiter at S.C.

l heard about stuff like this.

They have married dorms.

They can work things out for you. l'm having a kid !

We're getting out of here, Brian.

Right?

l'm proud to introduce defensive captain and linebacker. . .

Right, Bri? Bri ! Brian Riley!

Defense! Defense!

Defense!

Uh, this is the biggest game of our lives.

We've worked real hard for it.

We no longer want to win. We have to win.

And we're gonna. . . We're gonna. . . We're gonna win.

[Cheering]

Not just for us, but for you, too. Thanks a lot.

Save it for the field, Vucci.

Let's go, fellows.

That's everybody.

Let me have it over here. Right here. Let's have it.

Settle down.

Gentlemen. . .

All right, here's the situation.

We haven't beaten Walnut Heights in the five years l've been coach.

There are 1 0,000 people out there who don't think you'll do it tonight.

But there's 37 people in this room who know we can.

Am l right? Am l right? [Players] Yes, sir! Yes, sir!

That's you and that's me.

So, why are we so sure? What do we know that they don't know?

l don't think they know about the human beings inside these uniforms.

They don't know about the pain you're willing to endure, do they, Tank?

No, sir. They don't. They don't know how hard you're gonna hit,

do they, Djordjevic? No, sir. They don't.

They don't know what you're going to do to Alexander, do they, Riley?

No, sir! And they sure as hell don't know

about the magic in Rifleman's arm, do they? No, sir.

ln the next 48 minutes, they'll find out who you are and what you're made of.

You're gonna make me proud.

You guys will go on to achieve successes.

l hope and pray you do,

but there will seldom be a moment like tonight

when you hold it all in your hands.

When you can achieve something together they can never take away from you.

Your friends, family, parents, your school, this town. . .

A win will give them something to be proud of,

something they can believe in.

You know what they call us.

You know why they only gave us 500 tickets to this game.

We're the dagos, the Polacks, the niggers!

All right! That's what you are. That's what l am.

That's what we are together, and that's how we'll win this game.

We're gonna win it together!

How we gonna do it? Together!

How we gonna do it? Together! Together!

We're going to win together! Come on down.

[P.A. Announcer] Now taking the field, the Ampipe Bulldogs.

And here come your Knights!

This is it!

Break!

Full house! Full house!

Coming after your ass, Riley!

Do it, man ! Make me happy! Hut!

Way to go, Larue.

Come here! What the hell is going on?

Why can't we block those turkeys?

They're cutting my knees out.

l don't want to hear that bullshit. Block 'em anyway, you understand?

Let's do it.

[P.A. Announcer] That's the end of the first quarter.

No score.

Break!

Ready! Set!

Hut! Hut!

[P.A. Announcer] He's in the cIear.

Touchdown!

And the Knights take the Iead!

Stefen Djordjevic.

Ampipe leads 1 4-1 0

with 3 minutes, 1 2 seconds left in the game.

AIexander for 17.

First down on the Ampipe 42.

Hold that line!

Great catch by Alexander down to the 29!

Out of bounds on the ten.

First and goal for the Knights.

My man ! Ready. Set.

Hut-hut. Hut!

Ampipe pass interference. The Knights have the ball on the Ampipe 5-yard line.

Son of a bitch ! You got a boy playing for Walnut Heights?

You hit him too soon. That's your penalty, son.

Back to the huddle. lnterference.

Same play we ran in practice! l know. l know.

Blind bastard !

Good hit. Good hit!

lt was a good hit, Bri ! Damn right it was.

Huddle up. Huddle up.

Okay, we're holding them.

Now, keep up goal-line D.

Break! Break!

Third and goal for the Knights on the three!

Ready!

Fight! Fight!

Fourth and goal for the Knights on the one-yard line!

This is it!

Ready! Set!

Full house! Full house!

You fucking bastards! Hut-hut. Hut!

Alexander is stopped short of the goal line!

[Crowd Roaring]

Ampipe takes over on their own one-yard line.

With 1 2 seconds Ieft in the game.

We did it, Riley? Did we do it?

You did it!

Rifleman ! "l" strong right. Coach !

42 condition ! All right.

[Grunting, Pads Smacking]

[Whistles Blowing] [P.A. Announcer] It's a fumbIe!

SaIvucci fumbIes in the end zone,

and the Knights recover! It's a touchdown!

No time Ieft. The Knights win!

Touchdown! The Knights win!

[Salvucci Sobbing]

[Sobbing Continues]

Ah, come on, Salvucci.

Let's hear a good cry, all right?

All l'm hearing is this little whimper. Let's hear a cry!

l want to hear a good one, Salvucci.

You choked ! lt cost us the game. You quit!

You quit on me, and you quit on this team !

He didn't quit.

What did you say?

Salvucci, he didn't quit. None of us quit.

l don't know. We beat those guys' asses up and down that field tonight!

We got nothing to be ashamed of, right?

lsn't that right?

Maybe the scoreboard doesn't say it,

but we won that game.

We held them.

lt was just a fluke.

That's all. lt's just a fluke.

A fluke?

That pass-interference penalty was no fluke.

lf you had done it the way l taught you,

they never would've been down there in the first place,

and they never would've scored, and we would've won that game!

You're just as responsible as he is.

Oh, yeah?

lf you would've had Rifleman hold the ball, then we would have won the game.

We didn't quit. You quit!

Get your stuff

and get the hell out of here right now.

What?

You heard me. You get out of here.

You're through. You're off the team.

[Girl] Okay, l'll see you. l've got to get on the bus.

Yeah, that's him, right there.

Wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Where are you going? On the bus.

No, this is the wrong bus. This is for players.

You ride with the cheerleaders.

Stef. Stef.

Lisa, don't talk to me now.

Look, l just want to be left alone, all right?

You were good. Just leave me alone!

Why the hell didn't Nickerson just take the safety,

and then punt it out of there?

Because he's an asshole.

We'll never beat those rich pricks.

Not while he's coach, we won't.

Well, maybe, that won't be for too long.

[Laughs]

No, goddamn it. lt's true.

He's being kicked off the team for disciplinary reasons.

What the hell does that mean?

Means his big mouth finally got him in real trouble.

But what did he say?

He had to know this would ruin every chance he's got.

Hell, yes.

Word gets around he's got a bad attitude,

he'll be lucky to get any offers at all.

l can't believe he meant it.

Hey, Djordjevic,

your kid cost us the game.

Ow! Stop that!

Listen, you can stay here if you want,

but l'm going to go home and wait for your brother.

Because whatever he said, he's just gonna have to apologize.

Sure, Pop. Sure.

Goddamn !

[Horn Honks] Hey! Hey!

Hey, Stefie! Come on in !

Suzie. Um-hmm.

l should've had Rifleman fall on the ball.

Please, Vern, you're driving yourself crazy.

Daddy, there's a man playing on the lawn.

He waked me up.

Honey, you get in bed with Mommy, okay?

[Spraying]

Hey.

Hey, Bosko.

What are you doing?

What do you think we're doing?

Doesn't this seem a little bit too crazy?

What? You gonna do something about it?

[Groans]

[Laughing]

[Car Doors Slamming]

[Engines Revving] [Rubber Burning]

Bastards.

Hey, Stef!

Hey. How you doing, bro?

You going to talk to the coach?

Yeah. Wish me luck.

Want me to go with you? Nah.

You sure?

Hey, good luck, bro. All right. All right.

Hey. How you doing, man?

Pretty good.

Coach Nickerson.

[Clears Throat] l would just like to tell you

l'm sorry about what l said after the game.

l didn't mean anything by it. One, two, three. . .

And since Friday is our last game,

it's at home and l'm a senior,

l'd really like to play in it.

lt means a lot, and. . .

l feel bad about what happened.

l was hoping that maybe you'd take me back on the team.

l'm sorry.

So what?

Real forgiving, aren't you?

You were at the house, and l saw you.

Get the hell out of here.

l can explain about that.

They picked me up. . . l just dumped some garbage. On your lawn.

l tried stopping them ! No. Uh-uh.

You dumped garbage on me, my wife, and little girl.

l'm sorry. Leave me alone.

What about the game?

This is the last game.

Please.

You played your last game.

You are really fucked, man !

No, son. You are.

Lisa.

How about it, Lis?

l was at band practice watching you.

You're real good.

Yeah, l saw you there, Stef.

Maybe l'll join the band to spend more time with you.

How's that sound?

Sounds like Nickerson didn't take you back.

Screw Nickerson. l don't need him.

l'll get my scholarship.

You'll get your football scholarship.

l'll get nothing.

What are you talking about?

l'm talking about asshole jocks

who can't even spell their names

get scholarships, and l can't.

Asshole jocks?

The kind who screams at his girlfriend he says he loves

in front of a busload of people.

l don't need to be treated like that.

Lis, l want to apologize about that.

There was a lot going on you just don't understand.

l don't understand? You don't understand.

l want to go to college and study music.

We can't afford it.

Nobody in Ampipe gets a music scholarship, just football scholarships.

So l'll be a grocery clerk.

l'm stuck here, Stef. l haven't even got a chance.

l'm 1 7 years old.

lt's not fucking fair.

And you, you're so selfish.

You don't even see it.

God, l. . . l've been such an asshole, huh?

Yes.

Yeah.

l can spell my own name, though.

No, Lis, l mean. . . l don't know what. . .

l'm really sorry.

What can l do to make it up to you?

Just be my friend.

l can do that.

l need you, Lis.

l need you, too, sometimes, you know?

You got to be there for me.

Okay. l will.

l promise. l promise.

l'm sorry. l'm sorry.

l promise l won't pressure you

about what happened last week,

sex and all that stuff.

lt's stupid, and l'm sorry.

Yeah, you will.

How do you know that?

You're so gorgeous, l just can't help it.

That's why.

l love you so much, Lisa.

l'm sorry. l just. . .

l just mess up.

l get to carry this, huh?

Come on.

l don't need to graduate. l need a job.

My uncle's been laid off. My brother's out of work. We're hurting.

You quit school now, you're going to be out on the street.

How's that gonna help your family? You're too good a kid for that.

Let me make a couple of calls. . .

Hey, Nick, how's it going?

Hey, Sherm, how are you?

Vinnie Salvucci, Sherm Williams, Boston College.

Howya doin'?

l've heard good things about you.

That time of year? Playing Pitt.

[Scoffs] Listen, l understand. . .

Vinnie, you're no quitter.

What?

Don't quit on me.

Right, Coach.

Hey, nice to meet you.

You had great defense against Walnut Heights.

l want to see film on Riley, Djordjevic, and Oliver.

Yeah, Riley and Oliver, they're good players.

Djordjevic l got to take a pass on.

Why? That kid's real tough.

He's got an attitude problem.

l had to cut him from the team.

That must've been a tough decision for you.

Yeah, it was tough.

How about it, Greg?

How about what, Stef?

l don't know. How you doing?

You want to use the car tonight?

What?

Just drop me off at the Carpatho.

You're not going to the game?

Nah, l'm going to get drunk.

l got laid off today.

Me and 700 others.

What will you do?

l'm going to get shit-faced, that's what.

l mean after that.

l don't know.

l'm real sorry.

[Sighs]

[Saxophone Playing]

[Continues]

[Giggling]

What are you doing here?

Aren't you supposed to be at the game?

l hate football. l just like watching number 33

run around in those tight black pants.

lt's pretty cold out here. Do you want to go upstairs?

l'll beat you.

What were you doing up here?

Just drawing.

Then show me.

You want to see?

Step into my office.

Did you do all these?

Yeah.

This is what l've been playing football for.

What's that one?

That's my undersea dome. [Giggles]

lt's one of the first things l ever did.

lt's good.

Where's your dad?

He's at work.

And Greg?

Carpatho.

Are we alone?

Yeah. l could call someone.

No.

Take your coat off and stay a while.

That would be nice, wouldn't it?

Got that right over your bed.

Yeah.

Remember that night?

l've got a funny outfit to show you.

lt's cute.

l love you.

l love you, too, Lis.

Do l get a kiss?

Where are you going on your honeymoon?

Pittsburgh.

To see the Penguins play the Flyers.

Aren't we lucky? Can l come?

l'm surprised you're not. No, you don't go.

On the honeymoon, they go theirself.

l guess that settles that.

Bye, Miss Malevik.

Bye.

How you doing?

All right. How are you doing?

Big day.

l heard Nickerson got that coaching job.

Apparently, the guy in Alequippa got a better offer.

A toast. . .

To the bride, the groom,

and the baby.

May it be a boy. Na zdravie.

Thanks.

What do you think of this?

l know. [Laughs]

Tracy always wanted a big wedding with a long gown.

Every girl does, l guess.

Like we wanted to play for the Steelers.

l'll give you a hand with this stuff.

The question is, should we be spending U.S. tax dollars in Guatemala. . .

Excuse me, Miss Dudukovich.

Yes, sir.

Yes, l do. Oh, shit.

Police officer. You're under arrest.

All right, come on !

[Glass Shattering]

[Nickerson] Stop it! Where are you taking him?

To jail. Help me.

What for? Armed robbery.

Help me, Coach.

Hey, help me, Coach !

Come on. What are you, chicken?

Hold it. Wait here, okay?

No way, Stef. Come on.

Henry, can l have another lron?

How about it, Mr. Bosko?

Hey, Stef, Lisa Litski.

What can l do for you?

Mr. Bosko, l have a problem.

Coach Nickerson must be blackballing me

because of the stuff at his house that night.

Tell him what really happened.

What really happened?

No college will touch me now.

Bosko, the whole town knows.

Knows what? That l was there?

Hey, fellas, was l at Nickerson's house?

Did l trash it?

Were any of you there?

You got to help me.

l don't got to do anything.

l won't spend my life here.

Now you can't get work in that goddamn mill !

"That goddamn mill. . ." ls that your problem?

Fellas, Stef's got a problem with the goddamn mill.

You mean that mill where your father works?

Where your brother works? Where my brother was laid off!

Where my father worked and his father before him,

and everybody who made this town what it is?

What it was!

You too good for us or something?

No, sir. l want to go to college.

[Laughs]

Stef. [Laughing]

ls that what's the matter, Stef?

You getting tired of Polack pussy?

You son of a bitch !

Enough ! Enough !

That's enough !

[Lisa Sobbing]

Bosko.

Hey, Djordjevic. We'll see you around, okay?

[Laughs]

[Doorbell Rings]

Yes? Mrs. Nickerson, l'm Lisa Litski.

Can l talk to you?

Believe me. l know Stef.

He'd never deliberately try to hurt anyone.

He's a kid, and he wants to go to college and be something,

and your husband's stopping him.

lf someone happens to bow out, or a spot opens up,

l would appreciate it if you could keep me in mind.

Yes, sir.

Okay. Thank you for your time.

Would you go with him?

l'm a junior. l have a year left.

What about after you graduate?

lf he leaves here, you'll probably lose him.

l'll let him go. l love him.

l loved someone in high school.

We planned to marry, but the army took him.

And l went to North Carolina State and met Vern.

What do you want to do, Lisa?

l want to study music.

Then do it.

What happened to that boy from high school?

Tommy?

l guess he's back in Parkersburg.

l haven't thought about him in a hundred years.

God, l loved him.

No more than l love Stef.

Yes, sir. l realize, um,

it's a little late.

l was meaning to call you sooner.

Mr. Smith, you said l could count on you.

l understand. Okay.

Thanks, anyway.

Drink some of this.

Are you ashamed of me, Papa?

What are you talking about? That's crazy.

You're my son, l love you. Why would l be ashamed of you?

l must have done something wrong

for this to happen to me.

You've done nothing wrong, Stefen.

You're a good boy.

l love you.

We love you.

Your mother was always proud of you.

l know you're hurt.

lt's okay. l understand.

l love you and l'm proud of you.

Papa, l'm sorry.

l'm never prouder of you than right now.

On the fifth day, thank you, God,

And commanded they wear short skirts and do cartwheels.

And that was very good !

l mean, that was pretty good.

On the sixth day,

he created the football player.

And,

You blackballed me.

"Together." Remember that?

Together! Together! Together!

That was all just bullshit.

What?

You're full of shit.

You sit there, scholarship here, none there.

He goes. He stays.

Who in the hell gave you that power?

You're just a high school football coach.

What. . . What. . . l don't know.

You know, Nickerson?

You are not God ! Huh?

You are just a typing teacher.
