00:07Walk in your hand and walk inside you
00:26Can I speak your name? Can I just be here?
00:32Can I speak in anger? Can I speak in shame?
00:41I'm not with you! Get over here!
00:44Refresh my memory! Didn't I just read the pass play in here?
00:47The brain was coming down so hard. I couldn't see Thomas' office so I figured I could...
00:50What does it say on my jacket?
00:52Coach!
00:53That's right, coach! Football is not a democracy!
00:55And you will do as I say because I know it's best for you!
00:59Now look son, we have run this play a hundred times in practice.
01:03You don't have to see Don out of nowhere he is!
01:05Just throw it to him!
01:06I want you to go out there, I want you to run the same play.
01:09I want you to win this game for us, okay?
01:12Go ahead!
01:14How did you win this game for us?
01:16Who is this?
01:30What, what hell?
02:03There is another team eating crow tonight, gentlemen.
02:14I don't have to tell you how important next Friday night's game is.
02:18Yeah, not only is it going to put us in the state championship, but it'll be Coach Walt's 200th win.
02:23Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt!
02:33Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt! Coach Walt!

03:03Come on in.
03:17Principal Quan, what brings you to this sweatbox?
03:20I've got a problem, coach.
03:24Gee, huh?
03:25My boys, seven of them, on their math midterm, which means they're ineligible for next Friday's
03:32game.
03:33I'll just keep it quiet for a couple of weeks and we'll deal with it in the offseason.
03:39I'm not sweeping a major academic breach under the carpet so you can win a game.
03:46You've been here what?
03:47Six months.
03:49I've been here 25 years.
03:50We're not talking about just the game.
03:52We're talking about my legacy.
03:53I don't care about your legacy.
03:55I'm here to educate young people.
03:57I've been educating young people all my life.
03:59You know how many boys have gone on to college because of me?
04:01I've gotten good jobs on my recommendations.
04:05I know most people think you walk on water, coach.
04:08I think you're dangerous.
04:10I've seen your temper.
04:11I've seen your methods.
04:12Just because you win doesn't make you right.
04:14On Monday, I'm suspending the players.
04:18End of story.
04:19End of story.
04:35Somebody save me
04:41That you won't help make right
04:45Cause I'm gonna save me
04:50Don't care how you do it
04:56Just stay, stay
05:00Come on
05:02I've been waiting for you
05:05I've made this whole world shine for you
05:15Yeah, stay, come on
05:20Football, sport or abuse?
05:29So what do you think?
05:30I think you need to seriously decrease your cappuccino dependency
05:34Pete thinks I'm being too hard on Coach Walt
05:36I mean, the man coached my dad, all my brothers
05:40He used to come over and watch the Super Bowl
05:42Now while I'm touched by that homework moment, you don't get points for subtlety in journalism
05:46I've already started getting hate mail
05:48I'm very happy about that, why?
05:50Because it means I'm hitting a nerve
05:51Besides, between the abysmal sentence structure and generous use of obscenities
05:55I've got a pretty good idea of who's been sending it
05:58If you think my teammates are reading the torch, I'm giving them way too much credit
06:01Don't you even care about this?
06:04I don't see what the big deal is
06:06You don't think it's a big deal
06:08I think it's a big deal
06:10Ooh, there's something you don't see every day
06:15A pom-pom meltdown
06:16Ooh, ooh, here they come
06:18Pete, I need a picture of the cheating jockstrap
06:20Look, I don't want to hear any rumors going around, any false accusations
06:24Any idea how they got that midterm call?
06:26Still a mystery, but I'm working on it
06:27We got a problem here
06:28Hey, what's she doing?
06:30Ooh, nice catch
06:33One of your teammates attempts to assassinate me and all you can say is nice catch?
06:37I thought you wanted to hit a nerve
06:39Thank you
06:41All right
06:43Hey, Kent
06:58I saw your arm out there
07:01Your technique was lousy, but you got a lot of power
07:03Thanks
07:04So why aren't you on our team?
07:06My dad needs me on the farm
07:07Well, your school needs you on the field
07:09We got a big game Friday night, we're short players
07:11Look, look, I know your dad would understand
07:14He's kind of stubborn
07:15Yeah, I remember
07:16Jonathan Kent was one of the best athletes I ever coached
07:19A lot of God-given talent
07:20It's in your genes, Kent
07:22Actually, I'm adopted
07:24Look, I am giving you a chance to be a part of something special
07:31A part of history
07:32Now, I've seen you stare at your father's picture in that trophy case
07:36Don't tell me you don't want to be a part of this
07:38And why don't you suit up?
07:41Hey, look at Ross here
07:43He doesn't have a lick of natural talent, but he's got a truckload of heart
07:46Thanks, sir
07:47I guess
07:47Let me think about it
07:51Fordman, get over here
07:53Hey, Clark
07:55Fordman, you're the team, Captain
07:56How do you think Kent here would do on the field?
08:00I mean, considering our current predicament
08:01Might do all right
08:02Hmm
08:03Seems afraid, though
08:05That's not the reason, is it, Clark?
08:08It's my dad
08:08I can't
08:09There comes a time when you've got to step out of your father's shadow and be your own man
08:15Now, what do you say?
08:16You ready to be your own man?
08:23Count me in
08:24Good
08:24Now, we'll see you at practice today
08:26Three o'clock
08:27Don't be late
08:27Hey, Clark
08:30Hey, um
08:31Remind me what your dad said last time you asked him to play
08:34He said no?
08:36He said no
08:37That's what I thought
08:38Call me when the hurtin's done
08:40Okay?
08:45So we okay?
08:46This isn't about us
08:47The guy's made a mistake
08:48I don't see what the big deal is
08:49Whitney, they cheated
08:50I don't know how you can support them
08:52Because they're my friends
08:53And they used to be yours
08:55Do you want to tell me what's really going on here?
08:58It's just the things that I thought I knew for sure
09:00Don't seem so certain anymore
09:02I don't understand
09:03I know how much you love football
09:07And you're great at it
09:08And I support you
09:09I want to find something that I'm great at
09:13Wait a minute
09:26What do you mean you had to say yes?
09:28Coach Walt sort of didn't give me a choice
09:29Let me guess
09:30Did he give you the be your own man speech, right?
09:35Walt's been giving that speech for 25 years
09:36Same one
09:37Believe me, I know
09:38What you gotta do is
09:39Go there tomorrow and tell him you can't play
09:41Dad, please don't make me do that
09:43Son, I'm sorry
09:44We've already had this conversation
09:46It's never been a conversation
09:47I can be careful
09:48And you don't trust me
09:50Of course I trust you, Clark
09:53But, uh
09:53But what?
09:55I'm old enough to make my own decisions
09:56When you're out on the field
09:57A million things can happen
09:58That can affect your judgment
09:59I mean, if you get angry
10:00Even for just a second
10:01Or you, uh
10:01Try to impress some girl
10:03With a fancy move
10:04Somebody can get seriously hurt out there
10:06You were meant
10:07For much more important things
10:09Than winning football games
10:10I'm sick of being punished
10:12Because I have these gifts
10:13And most parents would be happy
10:15If their son could be the star
10:16Of the football team
10:17Son
10:18I am happy
10:20When you wake up in the morning
10:21I don't need to live vicariously
10:24Through your achievements
10:25Why would you?
10:29You got to play
10:30I'm not signing a permission slip, Clark
10:35You don't have to
10:37I'm playing football
10:38And you can't stop me
10:39Well, if it isn't the three wise men
10:52Hello, Dominic
10:54I'm assuming you're running late
10:56Because you've been in a fencing lesson
10:57Or have you taken up polo again?
10:59Oh
10:59I'm not running late
11:02I cancelled this meeting
11:03If you recall
11:03And your father insisted
11:05That we drive down here
11:05And keep it
11:06And when he barks
11:08You jump
11:08Have you seen the quarterly numbers?
11:13Yes, I have
11:14We're 20% below projections
11:16And your father wants you
11:17To take drastic action
11:18I plan to
11:19Good
11:21Then I can inform him
11:23That you'll be cutting your workforce
11:24On the contrary
11:26You can inform him
11:28My plan on increasing my workforce
11:30By how much?
11:3120%
11:32Lex, I've always enjoyed
11:35Your unique sense of humor
11:37But you can't be serious
11:38You've got to spend money
11:40To make money, Dominic
11:41If we increase productivity
11:43And marketing
11:44While our competitors retreat
11:45When the sector bounces back
11:47We'll corner the market
11:50Your father sent you to Smallville
11:52To turn the planter out
11:53My father sent me to Smallville
11:54Because he'd rather surround himself
11:56With drones
11:56Than people who challenge
11:58His archaic business practices
12:00I'll be certain to tell him that
12:01Please do
12:02Now
12:03This meeting is adjourned
12:06By the way, Dominic
12:10Tell your sister I said hi
12:13Lana, you were home early
12:28Did they cancel cheerleading practice?
12:30Sort of
12:31I quit
12:31You love being on the squad
12:35What happened?
12:38I just think there's more to life
12:39Than memorizing cheers
12:40And shaking pom-poms
12:42You just decided this out of the blue
12:44Some of the football players
12:48Were caught cheating
12:48Guys I know
12:49When I told Whitney
12:50How upset it made me
12:52He said it was no big deal
12:53That people aren't perfect
12:54I thought, why am I doing this?
12:58Wearing a fake smile
12:59And stupid outfit
12:59For people who will do anything
13:01To win a game
13:02Well, you can't let a couple of bad apples
13:05Spoil the experience
13:06You're part of a team
13:07You're making friends
13:09And now I don't want to go back
13:12I want to try different things
13:13What's wrong with that?
13:14Nothing
13:15It's just that you're on a good track
13:17I want you to be happy
13:19What are you going to do
13:20With this newfound freedom?
13:23Thought I'd get a job
13:24Something part-time
13:25Earn some extra money
13:26So I can go travel in the summer
13:28Well, I suppose
13:30I could always use some help
13:31Around the shop
13:32Thanks
13:34But I'm not looking for help
13:35I'm going to do this on my own
13:38Have you seen Lana?
13:54No
13:55These are bad
13:56Dad
13:59I'm glad you're here
14:02It means a lot to me
14:03I still don't support your decision, Clark
14:05I'm here to see that no one gets hurt
14:07Close it out, guys
14:10Come on
14:11Let it up
14:14Kent
14:15Get in there and tailback
14:16Two, three, two
14:18Hey, hey, hey
14:19Kent, it's yours
14:21Yeah, Kent
14:25It's yours
14:26Kent
14:28Quit looking in the stands
14:30Your dad's not coaching his team, are you?
14:32I didn't bring you out here to be a tackling dummy
14:34Get angry
14:35Kick some butt
14:36Get angry, kick some butt
14:36Kick some butt
14:36All right, guys, same play
14:44Oh, yeah, we got him
14:47That'll do the same, too
14:48That'll do the same, too
14:50Hut, hut
14:51All right, way to go, Kent
15:10That's what I'm talking about
15:11Yeah, Clark, way to go, Clark
15:15Ah, how's my favorite football fan?
15:30Coach, one of the players accused of cheating has come forward and said you supplied them with the tests
15:35Oh?
15:36And what boy told you that little piece of fiction?
15:40I'm not at liberty to say
15:42And I'm guessing you already went to the school board and asked them to suspend me
15:46You have a lot of friends in high places
15:48I should have
15:49I coached most of them
15:51You don't understand
15:52I'm an institution
15:54Who'd you think the school board was gonna believe?
15:57Some cheating little brat who's just trying to cover his own ass?
15:59But a man who's been leading this school of victory for 25 years
16:04They may not believe one
16:05But if I can get all of them to step forward
16:09The board will have no choice
16:10They'll suspend you from coaching for the rest of your life
16:13You low
16:14Bring me down
16:15What the hell's going on here, coach?
16:29Who the hell does he think he is?
16:59Where'd your dad go?
17:09He, uh, kind of had to get back to the farm
17:11Go get help
17:29Okay, thanks
17:45Bye-bye
17:46Principal Kwan's gonna be in the hospital till over the weekend
17:49Is he gonna be alright?
17:51He's got some burns and suffered smoke inhalation
17:53But he's gonna be okay
17:55Anybody see you, son?
17:59Nobody saw me, dad
18:01I told the paramedics that I wrapped my hands in my jacket when I pulled them out
18:05Lucky you were there
18:06Well, I kind of missed my ride
18:09Look
18:12I saw you play
18:14Alright?
18:16Now, you could have easily hurt any one of those boys
18:19But the point is, I didn't
18:21Why are we even having this conversation?
18:25He's never gonna believe me
18:26By the way, coach gave me your old position
18:30You're looking at the starting tailback for this Friday's game
18:34Don't everyone congratulate me at once
18:43How did he get to be so stubborn?
18:49Gee, I don't know
18:50Hey, wait a minute
18:51I was not like that when I was his age
18:53No, you were the obedient son who always obeyed his father
18:56And didn't run away one summer and try out for the Metropolis Sharks
19:00Since when did you go and join the other side?
19:02Jonathan, Clark hasn't been able to do anything normal his whole life
19:06No play groups, no Little League
19:08All because we were afraid he might hurt somebody
19:10He's a teenager now
19:12Let's give him a shot
19:13His gifts come with responsibilities
19:15This isn't about his gifts
19:17It's about his judgment
19:18You're telling Clark that you don't believe in him
19:21Of course I believe in him
19:23What if he makes a mistake
19:25And somebody suspects the truth
19:28I do not want anyone coming on this farm and taking our son away from us
19:33Well, if we don't start trusting him, nobody's gonna have to take him away
19:37He's gonna leave all by himself
19:39You guys, it doesn't make sense
19:43Cars don't just spontaneously combust
19:45A cop said it was faulty wiring
19:47I've already got my headline
19:49Jockstrap saves principal from burning car
19:51Will you lay off the jockstraps thing?
19:54I still can't believe Clark's been blinded by the Friday night lights
19:56I joined a football team, not a cult
19:58Yeah, next thing you know I'm gonna be joining the pom-pom brigade
20:01I hear there's a spot open
20:02Lana, what are you doing here?
20:05Taking your order, I hope
20:06What is this, some sort of like a cheerleading charity
20:10Like be a waitress for a night sort of thing?
20:12Yes it is, except for the cheerleading and charity parts
20:15The tips are always appreciated
20:16So, you're a waitress for real?
20:20Even got the perky name tag to prove it
20:22First day?
20:23Ever
20:24Where's your necklace?
20:27Strict dress code
20:28No jewelry and no open-toed shoes
20:30You're very waitress-like
20:33Now if I could only tell the difference between a half-cap decap
20:36And a non-fat latte
20:37And that case, I'll have a regular coffee
20:38Hey, time's three
20:40Uh, what's...
20:42Uh, Lonnie, you forgot this
20:45Thanks
20:46That's been happening a lot today
20:48First days are always rough
20:50So you just quit cheerleading?
20:53I sound surprised
20:54Well, it's not like you broke any state laws or anything
20:57But I am
20:57And you always seem so happy doing it
20:59Mom was a cheerleader, so was my aunt
21:01Figured it was time to break the vicious cycle
21:03What did, uh, Whitney say?
21:07You're his teammate now
21:09Why don't you ask him?
21:11You know, it's amazing
21:12The same day I make the team
21:14You quit the squad
21:15And I was just hoping we'd see more of each other
21:17I have four shifts a week
21:19You can stop by anytime you like
21:20Lana, table three's been waiting for their drinks for five minutes
21:25If they go cold, it's coming out of your tips
21:27Right, sorry
21:28Don't be sorry
21:29Just be faster
21:30Clark Kent is a football player
21:37And Lana Lang is a waitress
21:39What's the matter with that?
21:42Nothing
21:42I just want to click my heels and get back to reality
21:45Of course, it's huge in the field right now
21:56What's up with your fallen brethren?
21:58I don't know
21:59I'll see you tomorrow
22:01Chloe?
22:03Uh, relax
22:04I'll see you tomorrow, okay?
22:06Come on, Chloe
22:06Congratulations
22:19I've never seen a group of young men
22:21Demonstrate such extraordinary stupidity
22:23Now which one of them you talked?
22:25Huh?
22:26No one here told Quan that I supplied you with that test?
22:32Coach, no college is even going to look at us with cheating on our record
22:35So was you, huh, Trevor?
22:42Now why doesn't that surprise me?
22:44Nothing?
22:52Nothing?
22:57Nothing!
22:59It's gonna stand between me and my legacy
23:01Now you go home, you keep your mouth shut
23:05Understand?
23:06Yes, that's a good thing, Yoda
23:07Congratulations, Lex
23:25You made the business page for once
23:27I told Dominic I was doing this two days ago
23:30Yes, and my drone dutifully reported it to me
23:33I just didn't think you'd be stupid enough to implement it
23:37If you had a problem, why didn't you pick up the phone and call me?
23:39We have a reporting structure
23:41Just because you're my son
23:43Don't expect any special treatment
23:44Believe me, I never had
23:46That wounded pride routine may have worked for your mother
23:49But don't try it with me
23:50You know perfectly well how I feel about you
23:55Hence, I'm at a craft factory in Smallville
23:57Lex, did you know the Caesars would send their sons
24:01To the furthermost corners of the empire
24:03So they could get an appreciation of how the world works?
24:06Whatever helps you sleep at night, Dad
24:09All right, here's how I propose we solve our impasse
24:15We'll fence for it
24:21If you win, I'll let you pursue your plan
24:23If I win, you fire 20% of your workforce
24:26The question you have to ask yourself, Lex, is
24:30Are you good enough to take your old man?
24:36Look at your moves, Lex
24:50They're rash
24:51No thought to their consequences
24:53If I wanted to run in commentary, I'd buy one of your books on tape
24:55You know what your problem is?
24:58Enlighten me
24:59You're ruled by your emotions
25:00You always have been
25:02And that can be a fatal flaw
25:07I want those workers gone by noon tomorrow
25:13Meeting adjourned
25:32Heading out to the pep rally?
25:35How do I look?
25:37As handsome as your father
25:38You don't have to do this, Mom
25:40Do what?
25:41Play Kent family peacekeeper
25:42Well, if the Kent men weren't so stubborn, I wouldn't have to
25:46So you're taking Dad's side?
25:48No, Clark, I'm not
25:49I told him he's being unreasonable
25:51Thanks
25:52Well, I'm not saying you're entirely innocent here, either
25:55If you want to make your own decisions, you need to be prepared to live with your mistakes
25:58You trust me, don't you?
26:03I want to, Clark
26:04So does your dad
26:06Just give him a chance
26:09Come on, girls, let's go!
26:14Come on, girls, let's go!
26:15Let's go!
26:16Come on, girls, let's go!
26:18Come on, girls, let's go!
26:20Come on, girls, let's go!
26:22Let's go!
26:22Let's go!
26:23Let's go!
26:27Why'd you call me?
26:28What do you want?
26:29I want to know if Coach Walt supplied the players with the tests
26:31Look, if you don't want to get hurt, just leave this alone
26:35Look, you can talk to me now or later
26:37Either way, this picture's going to be on the front page of tomorrow's torch
26:39Just leave me alone
26:47Talking to the school newspaper, Trevor?
27:02I thought you were brighter than that
27:05Coach!
27:06I didn't say anything!
27:07You've got to believe me!
27:09She was at the field last night!
27:10She's got a picture of us in the sprinkler!
27:12All right
27:15Go home
27:18I'll take care of this
27:20I'll take care of this
27:25I'll take care of this
27:27Womanו� simultaneous
27:42Is that right?
27:44What?
27:47Wait oh.
27:56Are you still closed?
27:57No.
28:02No, yes!
28:05Podcast Um.
28:17Oh, my God!
28:29Boy!
28:32Boy!
28:34Boy!
28:47Boy!
28:50The torch torched.
28:52How's that for dramatic irony?
28:55Just trying to get you to smile.
28:57This is more than arson, Clark.
28:58It's like the fire knew what I was doing.
29:00And you believe Coach Walt was somehow controlling it?
29:03Look at the facts.
29:04Principal Quan launches an investigation into the cheating scandal.
29:07Coach Walt tries to fry him in his car.
29:08Then, one of his players comes forward and he threatens them all with pyrotechnic sprinklers.
29:12I'm about to print that picture and the torch goes up in flames.
29:14But now you think he's behind the cheating scandal?
29:16Come on, Colby.
29:18Coach obsessed with winning his 200th game.
29:20Helps bonehead players pass the test so he can secure his position in the pantheon of high school sports.
29:27Do you have another copy of the picture?
29:28No, it's kind of hard to recover the files.
29:31We don't have any proof.
29:32Trevor Chappell.
29:33What about him?
29:35I'm sure he's the one that talked to Quan about the cheating.
29:38He wants to talk, I know it, but he's still scared to talk to me.
29:41But I think he might open up to you.
29:53Lana.
29:55What happened?
29:56Anel put you out on the street?
29:57I decided to join the workforce.
29:59Good for you.
30:00I'm sure you'll be employee of the month in no time.
30:02Right now, I hold the record for most dishes broken in a single day.
30:06Better bring my cappuccino and a styrofoam cup, then.
30:09Well, if it isn't Smallville's latest football star.
30:15Let's see how I do tomorrow night.
30:17Hey, have you seen Trevor tonight?
30:19No, he hasn't been in.
30:20How are things going here?
30:21Today is one of those days I just want to scream.
30:25For what it's worth, I think it's cool you got this job.
30:28For what it's worth, I'm sorry I'm not going to get to see you play tomorrow.
30:32New girl gets the worst shifts.
30:34So, can I get you anything?
30:35Uh, may I have a cup of coffee?
30:36Coming right up.
30:37Thanks.
30:40Rumor has that Clark can't join the football team.
30:43Rumor's true.
30:44Congratulations.
30:45Your dad must be thrilled.
30:46Actually, he freaked out.
30:48Told me I couldn't play.
30:49I'm surprised with my dad.
30:51I mean, he claims that I should make my own decisions, but then when I do, he shuts me down.
30:55Yeah, and you're out late waiting for him to go to bed so you can avoid the uncomfortable silence that greets you when you get home.
31:00How did you know?
31:01The Luthers wrote the book on uncomfortable silences.
31:07What are you working on?
31:08Ugh.
31:09Trying to figure out which poor bastard should get the axe.
31:12My father wants me to cut 20% on the workforce.
31:14Any way around it?
31:15Once my father's made his mind up, he's not easy to turn around.
31:19If that makes you guys feel any better, you should have seen the look on my aunt's face when I took this job.
31:23Not that I was used to dropping or anything.
31:27I guess we're all in the same boat.
31:28No, no.
31:29You both stood your ground and are doing what you want.
31:31I caved.
31:34You two have inspired me.
31:36Oh, yeah.
31:37Joining the football team and pouring some coffee.
31:40We're a couple of real rebels.
31:41Long live the revolution.
31:42How is it?
31:49It's perfect.
31:50Yeah.
31:53Is that what you ordered?
31:55Not even Claus.
32:03Trevor.
32:04It's Clark Kent.
32:06I'm here to talk.
32:07Just leave or he'll come back.
32:10Coach Waltz?
32:12Once he gets angry, it's...
32:15What did he do to you?
32:19Coach rides me pretty hard.
32:21You know?
32:22Me and some of the others.
32:24Thinks it's our father or something.
32:27So he justifies it anyway.
32:29Once when I dropped a pass, he drove me home, punched me in the gut, told me not to do it again.
32:34Why didn't you tell anyone?
32:35Coach said he'd throw me off the team.
32:37Wouldn't help me pass my classes.
32:39Did he give you that math midterm?
32:42Trevor, I can help.
32:47That's what Principal Kwan said.
32:48Look what Coach did to him.
32:52What happened to your arm?
32:53It's nothing.
32:54It's a carburetor burn.
32:56It's nothing.
32:58Let me see it, Trevor.
32:59I don't know how Coach did it, but if I talk, he's going to find me.
33:21Kent, why aren't you in the locker room suiting up?
33:32I'm not walking out on that field.
33:34Neither are you.
33:35Look, I don't know what the hell your problem is, but you do not want to take me off right now.
33:40I saw what you did to Trevor's arm.
33:52Trevor?
33:53You should have kept his mouth shut.
33:57What's the matter, Kent?
33:58A little too hot for you?
33:59Excuse me now.
34:09I have a game to win.
34:10I have a game to win.
34:40Hey!
34:51Chloe!
34:52Hi, Mr. Kent.
34:53Hi, Mr. Kent.
34:54Smallville's resident cynic have a change of heart.
34:57Well, I decided to put my personal politics aside to support my friends.
35:00Yes, we're trying the same philosophy.
35:02Where's Clark?
35:03I don't know.
35:04I was supposed to meet him before the game, but he didn't show.
35:06I thought he was with you guys.
35:10Hey, Pete.
35:32Pete.
35:33Hey.
35:33Have you seen Clark?
35:34No, I haven't seen him all day.
35:36Jonathan, you know the rules.
35:37No parents on the sidelines.
35:39Looking for Clark.
35:40Well, join the club.
35:40I need him out here.
35:42Guess he doesn't have what it takes to be a winner, huh?
35:50Nobody's seen him.
35:51I think the coach is lying.
35:53What's going on here, Chloe?
35:54All right, I'll check the locker room.
35:58You check the school.
35:59I'll be back in five.
36:00Oh, we're in the middle of a game.
36:02Just call a damn place!
36:03Mark!
36:25Mark!
36:25Mark!
36:25Mark!
36:25Can you hear me all right?
36:44It's the meteor rocks.
36:46Come on.
36:48Come on.
36:48Come on.
36:50Come on.
36:51Come on.
36:52Come on.
36:53Come on.
36:54Come on.
36:55Coach, you need help.
37:10What I need is to win this game.
37:12It's too late for that.
37:25How'd you do that?
37:33It's in the jeans.
37:43Give it up, coach.
37:44You lost.
37:44Two trips in one week.
38:02I'm flattered, Dad.
38:04What is this?
38:05It's my new proposal.
38:06I worked out how to cut the operating budget by 20% without losing a single job.
38:11Lex, I specifically told you to cut your workforce.
38:14Why?
38:15With this plan, you don't get the bad PR.
38:18That's not the point.
38:19Careful, Dad.
38:20You're getting emotional.
38:21You can always try a rematch.
38:23Are you afraid you can't take your son again?
38:23You get one.
38:24One what?
38:25One chance to defy me.
38:26I can't figure out what you hate more.
38:27The fact that my plan works or that you didn't come up with it first.
38:30Just remember, empires aren't built on clever bookkeeping.
38:47Dad, you have no idea what I'm capable of.
38:56Sorry you didn't get to play.
38:58Are you here to make sure I didn't hurt anyone?
39:00I was here to support my son.
39:07Some of the things I said, not a lot.
39:12Look, I do trust you, Mark.
39:15I do.
39:16I guess there's always going to be a partner that's a little bit afraid.
39:20But that's just being a parent.
39:25Thanks, Dad.
39:30Peaceful, isn't it?
39:31Hey.
39:32Thought you were working.
39:33I got let go.
39:34Apparently I'm not waitress material.
39:35Sorry.
39:36How'd your outtake it?
39:37How'd your outtake it?
39:38She said that it was a sign that I should seriously reconsider cheerleading.
39:40Parents, what are you going to do?
39:41I heard about the coach.
39:42Pretty weird.
39:43He won his 200th game and didn't even see it.
39:47So are you going to play next season?
39:48I don't know if football is for me.
39:49My dad played.
39:50Granddad played.
39:51I think it's time to break the vicious cycle.
39:52Pretty short career.
39:53Why'd it change your part?
39:54I don't know.
39:55I don't know.
39:56I don't know.
39:57But I think we all know.
39:58I think we should seriously reconsider cheerleading.
40:00I think we should seriously reconsider cheerleading.
40:01Parents, what are you going to do?
40:03I heard about the coach.
40:04Pretty weird.
40:05He won his 200th game and didn't even see it.
40:06So are you going to play next season?
40:08I don't know if football is for me.
40:09When my dad played, my granddad played, I think it's time to break the vicious cycle.
40:17Pretty short career.
40:19Why the change of heart?
40:20I don't know.
40:21Because I got out in the field and realized
40:23my reason for playing was gone.
40:28Sorry to hear that.
40:34You said life was fair.
40:37Going to be OK?
40:40Sometimes I just want to scream.
40:43Why don't we?
40:46Why don't we what?
40:47Scream.
40:49I'm game if you are.
40:50Are you serious?
40:52Why not?
40:55On three.
40:57One, two, three.
41:02Oh!
