ALTHOUGH LATIN AMERICAN WOMEN HAVE PRACTICALLY ACHIEVED...

EXCUSE ME, VAN. HEY!

EXCUSE ME, VAN! I'M TRYING TO DUST THE FURNITURE!

WELL, CAN YOU DO IT LATER? I'M WATCHING THIS SHOW ABOUT WOMEN'S RIGHTS.

NOW, JUST RUB YOUR SOCKS ON THE TABLE.

WELL, ALL RIGHT, BUT THIS COUNTS AS ONE OF MY CHORES.

- HEY, GUYS. - HEY, BROCK. WHERE'S JAKE?

WHAT DO YOU MEAN, WHERE'S JAKE? WHAT I MEAN IS, WE WERE MARRIED ONCE AND HAD A SON.

AT THIS TIME, DO YOU KNOW HIS LOCATION?

WAIT A SECOND. HE'S NOT HERE?

I WAS SUPPOSED TO PICK HIM UP AND TAKE HIM OVER TO TAMMY ANDERSON'S HOUSE.

NO. YOU WERE SUPPOSED TO PICK HIM UP AT TAMMY ANDERSON'S HOUSE AND BRING HIM HERE.

HEY. HEY.

JAKE, HOW'D YOU GET HOME? TAMMY ANDERSON'S DAD GAVE ME A RIDE.

AND ALL THE WAY HOME, HE WONDERED HOW SOMEONE FORGETS THEIR KID.

ME TOO.

HEY, I'M SORRY, BUDDY. YOUR MOM ASKED ME TO DO IT. I GUESS I KINDA BLEW IT.

THAT'S OKAY. HEY, TAMMY'S MOM LET US PAINT.

LET'S HAVE A LOOK.

OH, HEY. DID ELIZABETH DO THAT?

NO, HONEY. THAT WAS... THAT WAS JAKE.

RECENTLY?

IT'S A BOY, WAITING ALONE AT A BUS STOP.

I CALL IT WHERE'S DAD?

SEE YA LATER, DAD. YEAH.

BROCK, YOU'RE A GOOD FATHER,

BUT LATELY YOU JUST HAVEN'T BEEN SPENDING ANY TIME WITH THE BOY.

I'M SORRY, BUT I'VE BEEN SWAMPED.

WITH TRYING TO GET THE DENTAL PRACTICE BACK ON ITS FEET AND JUGGLING TWO FAMILIES,

GEEZ, I HAVEN'T EVEN HAD ANY BROCK TIME.

AS I RECALL, IT'S BROCK TIME THAT GOT YOU TWO FAMILIES.

I'M JUST WORRIED THAT IT'S STARTING TO AFFECT JAKE.

YOU KNOW, SHE'S RIGHT, MR. H.

YOU DON'T WANT TO END UP LIKE THAT SONG ABOUT THE BOY AND HIS DAD,

WITH THE DOG AND THE CRADLE AND THE RUBBER SPOON.

YOU SEE, BEFORE YOU KNOW IT,

HE'S GONNA BE GROWN, MARRIED, WITH A KID OF HIS OWN.

WON'T CALL AS OFTEN AS YOU'D LIKE, AND...

SORRY!

I GOT SOMETHING IN MY EYE.

GREAT. NOW THE OTHER ONE'S GOT IT.

WHAT'S UP WITH VAN?

THE SAME THING HAPPENED WITH HIM AND HIS DAD. THEY WERE NEVER CLOSE.

HE DOESN'T REALLY LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT, BUT HE'S GETTING BETTER NOW.

CHEYENNE, I NEED YOU!

HOLD ON, BABY!

WELL, TAKE YOUR SHOES OFF. I NEED TO FINISH THE TABLE.

HA, HEY!

AH!

REBA, I DID IT. I'M GONNA BE SPENDING MORE TIME WITH JAKE.

I AM GONNA COACH HIM IN FOOTBALL. ISN'T THAT GREAT?

- ARE YOU TALKIN' ABOUT TACKLE FOOTBALL? - REBA, THIS IS TEXAS.

YOU'RE LUCKY I DON'T TACKLE YOU RIGHT NOW.

I DON'T WANT HIM TO PLAY TACKLE FOOTBALL. HE COULD GET HURT.

HE'S ONE OF THE SMALLEST KIDS IN HIS CLASS.

REBA DOES HAVE A POINT.

I MEAN, I WAS THE ONLY GIRL ON MY SIXTH-GRADE FOOTBALL TEAM,

AND I ATE BOYS LIKE JAKE FOR BREAKFAST.

WHICH MAKES IT ALL THE MORE IMPORTANT THAT HE LEARN NOT TO LET HIS SIZE STOP HIM.

COME ON, REBA. A KID LIVING WITH HIS MOM? TURN HIM INTO A MAMA'S BOY.

JAKE'S NOT A MAMA'S BOY.

HEY, MOM! WHERE'S THE SEWING KIT?

IT'S WHERE YOU LEFT IT. OH!

HEY, TOUGH GUYS SEW TOO, YOU KNOW.

LOOK, REBA. TONS OF KIDS PLAY FOOTBALL, AND THEY DON'T GET HURT.

IT'D DO HIM A WORLD OF GOOD TO GET A LITTLE DIRTY, MIX IT UP SOME.

OOH, BROCK HAS A POINT.

WHEN I PLAYED FOOTBALL, I GOT HIT IN THE HEAD ALL THE TIME, AND IT DIDN'T AFFECT ME.

SOMEBODY GET THE PHONE!

YOU DON'T EVEN KNOW IF JAKE WANTS TO PLAY FOOTBALL.

TELL YOU WHAT. WHY DON'T WE JUST ASK HIM? JAKE, COME OVER HERE, KILLER.

WHAT'S UP? LISTEN, PAL.

HOW WOULD YOU LIKE TO HAVE A GREAT TIME PLAYING FOOTBALL...

AND BEING COACHED BY NONE OTHER THAN YOUR EVER-LOVIN' DAD?

JAKE, YOU DON'T WANNA PLAY FOOTBALL AND GET ALL SWEATY...

AND HAVE PEOPLE SLAPPIN' YA UPSIDE THE HEAD ALL DAY LONG, DO YA?

JAKEY, YOU KNOW, ON THE ONE HAND, YOU'D HAVE GIRLS CHEERING FOR YOU.

AND ON THE OTHER HAND, POSSIBLE HEAD INJURY.

ALTHOUGH, HONEY, I PLAYED AS A KID, AND I'M FINE.

SOMEBODY LET THAT CAT OUT!

I WANNA PLAY FOOTBALL. YES, THAT'S MY BOY!

ALL RIGHT. WE'RE GONNA START WORKOUTS FIRST THING TOMORROW.

COOL. I CAN'T WAIT TO DECORATE MY HELMET.

IF HE WANTS TO DECORATE HIS HELMET, YOU LET HIM.

HUH.

YOU'RE NOT THE BOSS OF ME.

WHAT'D YOU SAY?

GEEZ! I WAS AGREEING WITH YOU.

OH, HEY, REBA. HERE'S A SPORT JAKE'S NOT TOO SMALL TO PLAY.

ORIGAMI.

THE ANCIENT JAPANESE ART OF FOLDING PAPER.

HE FOLDED A TOWEL AT OUR HOUSE ONCE. NOBODY GOT HURT.

ANY CHANCE YOU COULD FOLD YOUR LIPS?

OH.

HEY. WHAT HAPPENED? WHERE IS HE?

AH, YOU GOT NOTHIN' TO WORRY ABOUT, REBA.

OH, THANK GOODNESS. SO HE'S OKAY?

HE WAS HORRIBLE!

OH, GOD LOVE HIM. HE STUNK ON ICE.

BUT HE'S NOT HURT, RIGHT? NO, REBA. NO.

YOU CAN'T GET HURT IN THE FETAL POSITION.

TO BE HONEST, IT WAS A LITTLE EMBARRASSING.

PLEASE TELL ME YOU DIDN'T SAY THAT IN FRONT OF HIM. WELL, OF COURSE NOT.

DID YOU ROLL YOUR EYES?

NO, I DIDN'T,

NOT EVEN WHEN HE PUT THE DANDELION IN HIS HELMET.

BUT, HONEY, YOU CAN STILL PUT HIM ON THE TEAM, CAN'T YOU?

IT'S NOT UP TO ME, BARBRA JEAN.

THE PARKS COMMISSION MAKES THE CUTS, AND JAKE

IS GONNA BE THE FIRST TO GO, POOR LITTLE GUY.

- WELL, WHERE IS HE? - LAST I SAW OF HIM, HE WAS CHASING A BUTTERFLY.

OR IT WAS CHASING HIM. I COULDN'T LOOK.

OH, JAKE, BABY! HEY, MOM.

YOU NEED ANYTHING?

UH, CHOCOLATE MILK, A COOKIE, SOMETHING?

YOU WANNA COME OVER TO OUR PLACE AND FOLD SOME TOWELS?

NO, THANKS. HEY, DAD. I HAD A GREAT TIME TODAY. YEAH, ME TOO, BUDDY.

AND THE BEST PART IS,

WE GET TO SPEND EVERY SATURDAY TOGETHER FOR THE REST OF THE SEASON.

SURE WE WILL, JAKE. SURE WE WILL.

I'LL SEE YOU AT HOME, BARBRA JEAN...

- SO, JAKE, YOU REALLY HAD A GOOD TIME TODAY, HUH? - YEAH.

REALLY? I MEAN, YOU COULD JUST SPEND SATURDAYS WITH ME.

DON'T BE JEALOUS, MOM. A BOY HAS TO SPEND TIME WITH HIS FATHER TOO.

IT DOESN'T MEAN I LOVE YOU ANY LESS.

THIS IS HORRIBLE, BARBRA JEAN. I KNOW!

BECAUSE OF ME, THAT LITTLE OLD BOY'S HEART'S GONNA BE BROKEN.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I'M GONNA SAY THIS,

BUT SOMEHOW OR ANOTHER, WE GOTTA GET THAT BOY ON THE FOOTBALL TEAM.

OKAY, REBA. I'LL COACH HIM.

NOT YOU, BARBRA JEAN. SOMEBODY WHO KNOWS WHAT THEY'RE DOIN'.

HE'S NOT TRYIN' OUT FOR MASCOT.

I'M JUST SAYIN', I FEEL SO MUCH BETTER NOW THAT MY DAD AND I HAVE TALKED.

HONEY, DRIVING BY HIS HOUSE AND HONKING YOUR HORN IS NOT TALKING.

HE KNOWS MY HONK.

- VAN, I NEED YOU TO COACH JAKE. - I THOUGHT YOU DIDN'T WANT HIM PLAYING FOOTBALL.

I DIDN'T, BUT HE FEELS IT'S VERY IMPORTANT TO SPEND A LOT OF TIME WITH HIS DAD.

SO YOU WANT ME TO TEACH HIM THAT THE ONLY WAY TO WIN HIS FATHER'S LOVE...

IS BY PLAYING SOME SILLY GAME?

'CAUSE LET ME TELL YOU SOMETHING, MRS. H.

YOU CAN RUN AROUND ALL YOU WANT, AND IT'S NOT GONNA...

I WON'T DO IT.

SOMEONE'S GOTTA BREAK THE CYCLE!

I THINK HE'S DOIN' WAY BETTER WITH THIS.

CHEYENNE, I NEED YOU!

RIGHT BEHIND YOU, BABY!

SO, I BET SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T KNOW WHAT SHE'S DOIN'...

IS LOOKIN' PRETTY ATTRACTIVE RIGHT NOW.

- OH, GO ANSWER THE PHONE. - OH, I KNEW IT!

FORTY-NINE, 50.

READY OR NOT, HERE COMES DADDY.

WHERE'S ELIZABETH?

WHERE'S ELIZABETH?

ELIZABETH!

HONEY!

HONEY, WHERE ARE YOU?

OH, THERE YOU ARE. COME HERE.

OH, YOU SCARED DADDY. DON'T DO THAT.

I SHOULD ONLY COUNT TO 10 NEXT TIME.

VAN, IS EVERYTHING OKAY? YOU WERE YELLING.

IT WA... IT WAS FINE. UH, ELIZABETH JUST GOT SCARED, BUT DADDY MADE EVERYTHING OKAY.

OH, YOU GO INSIDE NOW.

YES, YOU THINK HE'S A FREAK NOW, WAIT TILL YOU START DATING.

OH, YEAH.

DATING?

YEAH, SHE'S GONNA GROW UP AND START DATING.

SIR!

YOU WANNA GET OFF THE PRACTICE FIELD, PLEASE?

WHAT ARE YOU GUYS DOIN'? WAIT. YOU'RE GONNA TRAIN JAKE?

HEY, SOMEBODY HAS TO.

SHE MIGHT NOT BE THE MOST QUALIFIED, BUT SHE

DOESN'T BURST INTO TEARS EVERY TWO MINUTES.

AND I HAPPEN TO BE EXTREMELY QUALIFIED.

AFTER HIGH SCHOOL, I COACHED FOOTBALL PROFESSIONALLY FOR A YEAR...

AT GATESVILLE WOMEN'S PRISON.

WE WOULD HAVE WON THE TEXAS STATE PRISON TOURNAMENT,

EXCEPT MY QUARTERBACK WAS SHOT TRYING TO ESCAPE.

IF YOU'RE GONNA MAKE THINGS UP, WHY DON'T

YOU MAKE THINGS UP THAT MAKE YOU SOUND GOOD?

WHY DO I EVEN HAVE TO DO THIS?

AFTER I MAKE THE TEAM, I'LL JUST PRACTICE WITH DAD AND THE OTHER KIDS.

YOU BET. WE'RE JUST MAKING EXTRA SURE THAT THAT HAPPENS.

WHAT DO YOU MEAN? EVERYBODY THAT TRIES OUT GETS ON THE TEAM, DON'T THEY?

WELL, UM... NOT EXACTLY, NO.

DON'T YOU WORRY, JAKEY.

IF I CAN TURN LITTLE ARSON ANNIE INTO A TOP-NOTCH RUNNING BACK,

I CAN HELP YOU.

BUT I THOUGHT EVERYBODY MADE THE TEAM. I'M NOT AS GOOD AS THOSE OTHER KIDS.

THAT'S OKAY. THAT'S WHY WE'RE OUT HERE WITH... COACH CUCKOO.

THIS IS BAD. I'M THE WORST GUY OUT THERE, AND TWO OF THOSE GUYS ARE GIRLS.

OKAY, FIRST OFF, LET'S LOSE THE SEXISM. COME ON. LOOK.

EVEN IF, BY SOME CHANCE, YOU DON'T MAKE THE TEAM, IT DOESN'T REALLY MATTER.

HONEY, THERE'S A LOT OF OTHER THINGS THAT YOU'RE REALLY GOOD AT.

BUT DAD DOESN'T CARE ABOUT THOSE THINGS. OH, YES, HE DOES.

NO, HE DOESN'T! NOT LIKE HE CARES ABOUT FOOTBALL.

AND I CAN'T PLAY FOOTBALL.

WHEN I DON'T MAKE THE TEAM, HE'S GONNA WISH HE HAD ANOTHER SON.

OH, JAKE, HONEY! HE DOES HAVE ANOTHER SON.

I KNOW HOW THE KID FEELS.

OH, KNOCK IT OFF. YOU DON'T KNOW ANYTHING.

OH, YES, I DO. I NEVER HAD A RELATIONSHIP WITH MY FATHER EITHER.

YOU'RE UNBELIEVABLE, YOU KNOW THAT?

YOU'RE SO BUSY WITH YOUR PITY PARTY...

THAT YOU CAN'T KEEP THE SAME THING FROM HAPPENING TO HIM.

THIS IS A SENSITIVE ISSUE FOR ME.

OKAY, LOOK, VAN.

I'M SORRY ABOUT WHAT HAPPENED BETWEEN YOU AND YOUR DAD, BUT THAT WAS A LONG TIME AGO.

- MY LITTLE BOY IS HURTING NOW. - WHAT DO YOU WANT ME TO DO ABOUT IT?

HELP HIM! HELP HIM MAKE THE TEAM.

MY DAD NEVER HELPED ME. HE NEVER HELPED ME MAKE THE TEAM.

HE NEVER CAME TO THE TRYOUTS.

YOU CAN'T IMPRESS SOMEBODY WHO ISN'T THERE.

BE STRONG, VAN. BE STRONG.

ALL RIGHT, DANG IT! I'LL DO IT.

BUT NO HALFWAY. THAT BOY IS MINE. THANK YOU, VAN.

HE'S GONNA NEED A NEW PAIR OF SHOES, LOTS OF WATER...

AND A PAN OF FUDGE BROWNIES.

- BROWNIES? - NO QUESTIONS!

I'VE GOTTA TURN A BOY INTO A MAN, AND I GET HUNGRY.

ALL RIGHT. THIS TIME, RUN A SKINNY POST.

ON TWO. HUT, HUT.

HEY.

GO, JAKE. GO, JAKE. IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY.

IT'S YOUR BIRTHDAY. RAISE THE ROOF.

MICHAEL JACKSON.

ALL RIGHT. WAY TO GO, BUD. THAT'S, LIKE, 10 IN A ROW YOU'VE CAUGHT.

I THOUGHT IT WAS 11. I DON'T COUNT THE LAST ONE BECAUSE OF THE WAY YOU DANCED.

NEVER DO THAT AGAIN.

ALL RIGHT. SO WE'VE GONE OVER PASSING: A-PLUS.

A-PLUS.

NOW THE ONLY THING LEFT IS THE FUN PART... HITTING.

WHAT ABOUT KICKING?

KICKING?

KICKERS ARE LITTLE WIMPS WHO ARE AFRAID TO GET HIT, JAKE.

I THINK I WANNA BE A KICKER.

NO, YOU DON'T. DIDN'T YOU HEAR ME? HITTING IS THE FUN PART.

NOT WHEN YOU'RE THE ONE GETTING HIT.

WAIT A MINUTE. IS THIS... IS THIS WHY YOU DID SO BAD THE OTHER DAY?

YOU'RE AFRAID OF GETTING HIT? YEAH.

I ALSO DON'T WANT TO BE LIT ON FIRE. I'M WEIRD.

I BET YOU THINK I'M A BIG BABY.

NO. NO. NO. LISTEN. WHEN I WAS PLAYING, I WAS AFRAID OF GETTING HIT TOO.

NO, YOU WEREN'T. OH, YES, I WAS. EVERYBODY'S AFRAID OF GETTING HIT.

BUT YOU CAN USE THAT TO YOUR ADVANTAGE.

SEE, YOU NEED TO HIT THEM FIRST, SO THEY GET SCARED FIRST.

NOW, WE'RE GONNA DO A PLAY RIGHT NOW,

BUT WE'RE GONNA DO IT IN SLOW MOTION.

I WANT YOU TO TRY TO HIT ME BEFORE I HIT YOU. OKAY? GOT IT.

ON GO. READY, SET, GO.

HEY! YOU SAID SLOW MOTION!

OH, I'M SORRY. OKAY. I MESSED UP. LET'S TRY THAT AGAIN.

OKAY. HERE WE GO. READY, SET, GO.

HEY, NO FAIR. OH, I'M SORRY. ONE MORE TIME.

READY, SET, GO. VAN, STOP IT!

WHOA!

THAT'S RIGHT, JAKE. "WHOA."

I LIKE THAT FEELING.

- YOU STILL WANNA BE A KICKER? - I WANNA HIT A KICKER!

LESSON OVER.

YEAH! ALL RIGHT. ALL RIGHT. CUT IT OUT.

NO! GET OFF ME.

NO. JAKE.

YEAH, YOU BETTER WALK AWAY. THAT'S RIGHT. OH, YEAH.

♪ SNAP, WHAT'S THAT IT'S THAT LITTLE BOY'S LEG ♪

♪ CRACK, OH, MY IT'S THAT LITTLE BOY'S ARM ♪♪

KYRA! KNOCK IT OFF.

YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU THINK YOU'RE SO FUNNY, AND YOU ARE SO NOT.

YEAH? WELL, YOU THINK YOU'RE SO PRETTY, AND YOU SO ARE.

WELL, SHUT UP, KYRA!

- HEY. - SO, HONEY, WHAT HAPPENED?

WAS HE HURT? TELL ME HE'S NOT HURT.

♪ HE'S HURT, HE'S HURT HE SLAMMED IN THE DIRT ♪

I WILL SELL THAT GUITAR. ALL RIGHT.

HE'S FINE. HE'LL BE RIGHT IN.

DID HE DO IT? DID HE MAKE THE CUT? YES, HE DID!

AND THEN... YEAH?

- HE GOT BANNED. - WHAT? BANNED?

OH, GOOD LORD, NO. STEROIDS?

YOU SHOULD HAVE BEEN THERE. HE WAS AN ANIMAL!

HE WAS IN ON EVERY PLAY... RUNNING, JUMPING, UH, PUTTING THE SMACKDOWN ON GUYS.

MY SON IS A MONSTER!

OKAY. WAIT A MINUTE. I DON'T UNDERSTAND.

IF HE WAS SO GREAT, WHY WAS HE BANNED?

YEAH, ISN'T THAT HOW YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO PLAY? RUN AROUND LIKE A CRAZY LUNATIC?

GREAT SPORT, BY THE WAY.

YEAH, WELL, THEY DON'T WANT HIM PLAYING LIKE THAT AT HIS AGE.

SO, SOME OF THE PARENTS GOT TOGETHER WITH THE

COMMITTEE AND THEY BANNED HIM FOR ONE YEAR.

THEY CALLED HIM AN ASSASSIN.

JAKE! CAN YOU BELIEVE IT?

SO YOU JUST LET THEM BAN HIM?

OH, NO. I SAID, "OKAY, IF HE CAN'T PLAY, THEN I'M NOT GONNA COACH."

- WHAT DID THEY SAY TO THAT? - THEY SAID THAT'S WHAT THEY WERE THINKING TOO.

SO THEY BANNED ME. I CAN'T COACH FOR A YEAR.

LADIES AND GENTLEMAN, I GIVE YOU THE ASSASSINATOR!

STAY VERY STILL, FOLKS. HE'S TRAINED TO HIT ANYTHING THAT MOVES.

HE'S 75 POUNDS OF ORNERY WHUP-ASS.

BUT HE'S SO CUTE. WATCH IT, CHEERLEADER!

THANKS FOR THE HELP, VAN. HEY, NO PROBLEM, BUDDY. HELPED ME TOO.

GAVE ME A CHANCE TO WORK THROUGH SOME OF MY FEELINGS.

I CAN'T BELIEVE I SPENT ALL THOSE YEARS MAD AT MY DAD 'CAUSE...

OH, BOY.

I'M GONNA GO CALL MY DAD.

ALL OF THIS HAS REALLY HELPED HIM. I THINK HE'S HAD A REAL BREAKTHROUGH.

I'M JUST GLAD I COULD'VE BEEN THERE FOR HIM.

CHEYENNE, I GOT THE MACHINE!

OKAY, THIS IS GETTING OLD.

WELL, JAKE, I THINK THIS MIGHT BE THE FIRST

TIME YOU EVER GOT IN TROUBLE WITH ANYBODY.

- I'M REALLY PROUD OF YOU. - COME ON, MR. ASSASSINATOR.

I'M GONNA TAKE YOU IN THE KITCHEN AND BUY YOU A SODA.

I'LL GET IT!

OH, THANK GOODNESS. YOU HEAR IT TOO!

ACME!
