Lady Ballers

What are you doing, man? What are you

doing?

You guys are doing great, man. You're

doing so you're doing such a better job.

And honestly, this time it's going to what

the hell? You call that a pass? You called

that a catch. Your mom's a catch. She's

your mom, too.

Hey, get off the floor. What's the matter

with you? You're playing like JV girls out

there. And for the record, your mother is

not a catch. She was sightedly unfaithful

to your dad. Come on,

Coach. Gabe gonna be all right. No,

Gabe's not gonna be all right, David.

Gabe blew his ACL and probably our chance

at being state champ. But, Coach, you're

already a state champ. Two time state

champ. It's true for me. This is a

minor step back. For you boys,

this is it. This is your shot. No state

championship means well. It means no

making your parents proud. It means no

scholarship to Michigan. But Michigan's my

dream. It means Gabriel died in vain. You

said it was his ACL. Well, he can't score

points in the second half, so he's dead to

me. What about me and Blaine? I mean, I'm

being honest. I see you both ending up

used car salesmen. Either way, nice. But

you can kiss your chances with Rebecca

VanderKamp goodbye. Damn. She isn't any

you. No, she isn't any you.

Come on, Coach. You must have something to

help us win. I already threw three chairs

on the sidelines, pal. I don't know what

else you want from me. And that was

inspiring, for sure.

But what? You know,

you want to pep talk Alex? Is that it?

You think I'm like one of those coaches on

TV who can just give a speech and change

the face of every young man in a locker

room? That I could, by dent of my rhetoric

alone so stir the hearts of my team as to

snatch victory from the jaws of certain

defeat, that by the virtue of my soaring

oratory alone I might muster the animal

spirit in each and every one of you, that

you might do the impossible. Strive

harder, dig deeper. And say to that

ancient enemy of man who promised an easy

life with no suffering or glory no,

not me, not today to call forth the future

and all the wonderful and terrible

possibility it holds. Not for the meek.

But for the bold, for the brave, for those

willing to risk it all that history might

remember their names, remember their

struggle, and remember what it means to be

a tiger. To those who say in the voice of

thunder, winners are just losers

who win I said, winners are just losers

who win. Winners are just losers who

win. Winners are just losers who win.

Winners are just losers who win. Let's get

out there. Let's go. Let's go.

You're a god among men, Coach. I am,

Cowboy. I really am.

It's Felix sake.

It's over. But it's just starting,

can't you see? Ain't going nowhere until

the others finally see it takes a

strong one to stand and face the

cup me don't

know about

it ain't alphabetical

they are calling you Coach Miracle. The

coach of the new millennium, the future of

basketball. What do you say to that?

What do you say for yourself, lady? What

can I possibly say that three state

championships hadn't said already? Go

Tigers. Nice. Any indication

the future looks bright for Coach Miracle.

Go Tigers.

Go,

Coach.

What does it take to be a man? Is it

money, fame? Respect?

Maybe. But what do those things have in

common? What do they take to achieve? You

have to win. You have to be a winner

tonight. I have a question before you

gentlemen. You gonna go out there today

and play like it's just another game? Or

are you gonna go out there and play like

this could be the beginning of dammit,

Kevin, could you put the cell phone down,

buddy, please? Dwayne guys,

this is serious. Sports can be your

pathway to a better life. Well, like

yours. No, not like mine.

Better like this.

The global games. When I was a kid, you

had to be an elite athlete just to try out

for the games. Never let any loser try any

loser. And if that loser happens to win,

well, now he's

not a loser at all, is he?

He's a winner. Isn't that worth something?

Isn't that worth a shot?

Nothing? No.

All right, good talk, boys. Please don't

steal my catalytic converter again on your

way out. Yo can't talk to us like that.

You're right, Kevin. I'm sorry,

buddy. You dropped your cordless

reciprocating saw.

Kevin really feel like

he would have heard that?

It's racism, Rob. You can't tell a bunch

of teenage boys not to steal. Yes, you

can, Gary. It's one of the most important

things you should be teaching them. It's

literally in the Bible. Which you also

can't teach them. You're 86 from the rec

center, pal. Come on, you know I need this

job, Gary.

You sorry,

Miss Brethwell. I'm normally very

punctual. This is the fourth time, Mr.

Dibson. What's that?

This is the fourth time. It's the

obedience trap, lady. I can't hear

anything through it. This is the fourth

time. Crying out loud. I don't even have a

catalytic converter. You got to speak up.

This is the fourth time. See, there you

go. You're a beautiful woman. It's a

beautiful day. Maybe a little concealer

next time.

Put her there, kiddo. Hey, what's wrong?

You were really late, Daddy. I know,

baby girl. What can I say? Daddy was on

the court. Okay? On the court. There she

is. What'd that big brain of yours learned

at school today? We learned all about the

Cold War. Oh, yeah? Our history teacher

led us in a moment of silence for all the

workers exploited by the capitalistic

system. You should ask your history

teacher which side people ran to when the

Berlin Wall fell. What's the Berlin Wall?

Oh, and Mary Margaret showed me her penis.

Some boy showed you his penis? What? No.

Not a boy, daddy. Gross. Mary Margaret.

She's a girl. Girls don't have penises,

Winnie. Mary Margaret does. Penises are

weird. Can we stop saying penis, please?

Where'd this happen anyway? In the

bathroom. Well, why are they letting boys

in the girls bathroom? Why do you keep

misgendering, Mary Margaret?

Misgendering? What are you talking about?

It's very transphobic of you. How do you

know the word transphobic? I'm eight years

old. Exactly. You're eight years old.

Okay, boomer.

You know what? It's fine. We'll just have

to get you into a private school. Some of

them have good sports programs. Private

schools reinforce white patriarchal

privilege. Teach you that at public

school, did they? No. Mommy's boyfriend

Chris told me he's an ally. Is he?

We'll see about that.

Hi. How are you? You have

a good time? Yeah, Daddy. Who's. Okay. Is

he late? Okay.

Hey, we need to talk.

Thank you for picking up Winnie, Robert.

We're married for 15 years. Darby can call

me Rob. Darby and Robert will do

just fine, Coach. Rob. Oh, good. My

lover's. Former lover.

Okay.

Look at us. One big unconventional family

lover. I think your transition into

divorce will be smoother if Coach moved in

with us. Absolutely not. Never going to

happen. Well, Coach, now that we're

basically co, dads, I was wondering if

you'd like to help me train for the

Nashville runs.

$5,000 prizes. My body's a sacred temple.

I'm all about physical fitness, bug based

foods, mRNA vaccines, equitable and

inclusive hiking. There it is. My lover

says you were a great coach back in the
