(wind chime chiming)
- You want a drink?
- No, thanks.
(alcohol splashing)
- [Lover] Did you have
trouble finding the place?
- No.
I rode my bike here, actually.
- [Lover] You don't have a car?
- No, not yet.
At least I'm, like, saving up for one.
- Nice jacket.
It looks older than you are.
- Thanks.
It, um,
it was my grandpa's.
- Nice.
Hey, what, uh?
- Ah,

burst my capillaries in the pool.
It was stupid.
- Bedrooms are back here.
(footsteps tapping)
(footsteps tapping)
(Dakota clearing throat)
You know, I thought you were gonna flake.
- Yeah, I'm sorry about that.
Bad reception, I guess.
Messages weren't coming in.
- [Lover] Who's your carrier?
- Cricket.
- Cricket Wireless?
I've never met anyone with Cricket before.
- Uh, how long have
you lived out here for?
- Coming up on a year.
You live alone?
- No, um, but I do have
my own room, though.
- [Lover] Can you host?
- No.
No, I can't.
(Dakota sighing)
- Do you care to join?
(footsteps tapping)
(Dakota sighing)
Are you looking for gold down there?
- Uh, no, I just like my jacket, you know?
- Is it a lady's jacket?
- I don't think it's-
- On a lady's jacket,
the zipper's on the left.
Men's, it's on the right.
Is grandpa's jacket a lady's jacket?
- I guess.
I did not know that.
(birds chirping)
- Want some?
- No.
Thank you, though.
I'm an athlete, so.
- Oh, you're an athlete?
What sport?
- Football.
- Oh yeah?
You know Joe Namath smoked?
You know who he is?
- I do,
but that was a long time ago.
(lover chuckling)
Do you live alone?
- No, I live with my boyfriend.
- You have a boyfriend?
Where?
Where is he?
- Don't worry, he knows you're here.
We're poly,
or whatever, open.
- Cool.
- You've never done this before, have you?
- No, no, I have.
A few times, actually.
(Dakota coughing)
- What's going on?
- I just don't like,
(Dakota sighing)
I just don't really
like kissing strangers.
- Okay.
So,
what'd you come here for?
(dramatic music)
- Finally, we head to
Middleton High School,
where an Eagle football
player is making his mark
snagging his fourth
division one scholarship.
Wide receiver, Dakota Riley.
- Dakota Riley.
- Middleton High's Dakota Riley
was offered his sixth full ride.
- [Commentator] The 18
year old has yet to commit.
- [Commentator] And the
son of his head coach
says his son won't say
yet where he plans to go.
- One of the best-prepped athletes-
- One of the most sought-after players.
- [Commentator] One of the
state's biggest prospects.
- [Commentator] Riley's
senior season is poised to be-
- Several school records.
His highly anticipated senior season-
- [Commentator] High enough
for the four star athlete.
Riley has the potential to be
the greatest high school
receiver in state history.
(dramatic music crescendos)
(crowd cheering)
(hip hop music)
Hey b*tch
How much f*cking space
you 'bout to take
Uh
(hip hop music continues)
- What's up, beotch?
I thought I'd find you here.
Mama Riley sent me.
Dinner is ready.
(hands clasping)
Let's get it.
(hip hop music continues)
I was trying to-
- Oh no!
- This is why you're not QB.
(whistle blowing)
- The safety fights, right?
- Sit up straight.
- Go all day.
All day long.
All day long.
- I've been telling him.
- Yes.
(hand knocking)
(Mom coughing)
- Hi?
- Oh, hi.
- Let's pray.
(Dad clearing throat)
(Mom sighing)
Dear Lord,
we thank You for this food
that You have provided.
- Dude,
where did your dad learn how to cook?
(Dakota laughing)
- Um.
- Oh, I know I said I
wasn't gonna be much longer,
but my Mom's still kind of
being a b*tch, you know?
Is it cool if I stay for a few more days?
- Of course, dude.
Whatever you need.
(water splashing)
(hand patting)
- Thanks, homie.
Your parents are freaking dope.
I'm serious.
(Dakota chuckling)
Ugh.
- Oh.
- Yo, are you still
sticking with 11 this year?
- That's the plan.
- How'd you come up with
that number anyways?
- My dad was 88.
I like to look at the duplicate numbers.
- So why not stick with 88?
- 'Cause I'm not him.
I want my own.
(birds chirping)
- I get that.
(Dakota sighing)
(crickets chirping)
(alarm beeping)
(hip hop music)
(milk pouring)
Far away
Far away
Hotels
Outta state
Show and tell
(hip hop music continues)

(hip hop music continues)
(Dakota exhaling)
Boom.
(metal rattling)

(Dakota panting)
It f*ck up my rhythm.
- My spotting?
- Yeah, just keep an eye on me.
You don't gotta f*cking help me.
- Whatever you say, stud.
(hand slapping)
- b*tch.
(hip hop music)
Why so long
Why I feel this way

(hip hop music intensifies)

(Dakota laughing)
- Hey, you been eating enough, bro?
- I'm always eating enough, bro.
- No you're not.
That's what I'm saying.
- I eat 'til
I'm not hungry anymore.
- Whoa, whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.
Oh f*ck.
Dude, look at those spandex.
- Hey.

Sky's like a sister to me.
Hey, yo, Skylar!

- Oh my gosh, ssh.
Hey!
- Hey, you.
- Hi, Skylar.
- Hi, Jaeden.
- Hi.
- What are you guys doing here so early?
- A little early morning cardio session.
- Oh yeah, same here.
Hey, Courtney and I were up late all night
working on this admissions essay.
I'm exhausted.
- Still applying for recreation?
- Yeah.
No, no, I'm not.
I'm doing civil engineering.
Yeah, I finally decided!
- Oh, sweet!
- What does a civil engineer do?
- Um, roads.
And parks.
And hard hats.
- I would love a b*tch in a hard hat.
- Yes.
Yeah.
- Speaking of feminism-
- Oh, speaking of feminism?
- I'm glad we brought that up.
- Yeah, keep going, keep going.
- Is Courtney still with Dalton?
- Yeah.
But aren't you dating that freshman girl?
- Yeah, we're like-
- She's a freshman girl.
- We're like an open thing,
(whistle blowing)
you know?
- Oh?
- Like we're trying out-
(whistle blowing)
- New things.
- Oh, sh**t.
My practice starting.
So sad, I missed that.
- Rats.
- Hey, do you,
we're still on for tonight, right?
- Yes, Ma'am.
- Cool.
Bye.
(Skylar giggling)
- [Jaeden] Bye, Skylar.
- [Skylar] See ya.
(whistle blowing)
- [Jaeden] What's tonight?
(Dakota laughing)
- She asked me on a little hike.
- She asked you?
Sick invite, d*ck.
Lemme come.
Is Courtney going?
- Mm.
Sky invited me to this, bro.
I kind of think she wants
it to be like a small thing.
- Four is still small.
I'll drive.
Come on.
(Dakota laughing)
It'll be great.
(hand slapping)
- Okay.
- Can't wait.
- Okay.
(Jaeden laughing)
(birds chirping)
(door shutting)
- You home already?
(water running)
- Wanted to take it easy.
Last workout of the summer.
- Yeah, well, you got a lot
riding on you this year, Ry.
It's not time to take it easy.
Hey, check this out.
Hey, I heard that the grapevine
that the boys up in Westwood,
they'd love to have you next year.
- Yeah?
I'm just thinking about Friday, Dad.
- Yeah, I got you.
Just, you know,
coaches like players who
know where they want to play.
- Sure.
But I got six offers,
different campuses and cities
and climates and everything.
- Climate?
If climate is a deciding factor,
you're playing the wrong sport, Son.
Did you write your goal sheet down yet?
- 12 touchdowns, 1,200 yards.
- Yeah.
Ry, you gotta write that down.
You have to manifest that.
(finger tapping)
- I will.
(newspaper rustling)
Dishes are done.
- Yes, "The Sims!"
I'm living my best life on "The Sims."
No, seriously, get off Snap, get off IG.
"Sims" is my social network.
(Skylar laughing)
Did you tell him that it
was just gonna be us two?
- I did.
He insisted on coming.
(dog barking)
What?
- You guys are cute.
You're like inseparable.
- What?
- Yeah.
- No, we're not.
- Mm-hmm.
No, it's fine.
It's like a little bromance.
I can dig.
I'm hip.
(Dakota and Skylar laughing)
- Whatever.
- It's cute.
It's cute.
- Whatever.
- Mm-hmm.
Whatever.
Isn't this spot cool?
- This is beautiful, oh my gosh.
- This is such a good spot.
- Yeah, it should be really pretty.
Here.
- Wow.
Yeah, can I sit here?
(soft dramatic music)
(soft dramatic music continues)
(soft dramatic music continues)
You should kiss me.
- What?
You want me to kiss you?
- Haven't you wondered what
it'd be like to kiss me?
- Yes.
- Really?
- Yes.
(soft dramatic music continues)
- So?
(soft dramatic music continues)
(students chattering)
(students chattering)
(students chattering)
(home bell ringing)
- Excuse me.
So you didn't feel the need
to save me a seat or anything?
- You took so long in the bathroom.
(Liam and Caleb whispering)
I was waiting for you, Jesus.
(zipper zipping)
(zipper zipping)
- Ton of boys on your feed, huh?
- I don't control what
pops up on this thing.
- Well, kinda.
It's an algorithm.
(Liam chuckling)
- It's a what?
- You know, like the cloud and sh*t.
AI knows you better than you know you.
- I don't know what you're talking about.
- Good morning.
- [Students] Good morning.
(teacher speaking in French)
(teacher speaking in French)
(teacher speaking in French)
- Do you know what she just said?
- She said, (Caleb speaking in French)
which means, "f*ck your Mom."
Hey, Caleb, who are you working with?
- I'm, like, done already, girl.
Me and Sarah have been
working on it for like a week.
(Liam sighing)
- So you wanna partner up for this thing?
- Thank you so much.
Actually, I was gonna partner with Skylar.
- Well, Court told me she's in AP Chem.
- Oh.
Okay.
Yeah, I'm down.
I can't cook, though,
or speak French.
- No, no, no, I'll do most of the work.
I'm fluent.
Here, gimme your phone.
- Why are you in this class
if you're already French?
- Already French?
(Caleb speaking in French)
- I don't know what you just said.
(Caleb speaking in French)
(Caleb speaking in French)
(Caleb speaking in French)
- [Skylar] f*ck! I mean-
- [Dakota] I know, it's hard on the spot.
- [Skylar] I'm not that crazy.
- [Dakota] It's hard on the spot!
- [Skylar] We both know
I'm not that crazy.
- [Dakota] Grandparents.
- My turn.
- Okay.
- Okay.
(water splashing)
What's the most practical
advice you've ever gotten?
(Dakota sighing)
- Hmm.
Grammy used to tell me-
- Mm-hmm?
- That the squeaky wheel gets the grease.
- Tried and true.
(Skylar giggling)
- The squeaky wheel gets it.
That's it.
- I love her.
- Yeah.
- Oh, you wanna hear mine?
- Yes.
- Okay.
The fullest life and purest
heart is lived in truth,
thus, set apart.
(Dakota laughing)
- I'm sorry.
- What?
- That is some corny baloney!
- Wait, stop!
Shut up!
- Whose Tumblr did you get that from?
- Grandma Braxton told me that!
- Okay, well, then,
(Skylar laughing)
it is very sage advice.
- Sage.
Sage, you and me.
- You're insane.
- All right, your turn.
- Okay.
Okay, um,
what is something embarrassing about you
that even I don't know?
(dog barking)
- That's hard.
- Yeah?
- Ugh.
- I'm sorry.
- All right,
I've never done anything in a hot tub
with another guy before.
(dog barking)- Ah,
like, anything?
- Nothing.
So, your turn.
- I've also never done
anything in the hot tub
with another guy.
(water splashing)
- f*ck you!
- Shh.
Dude, you asked,
I answered.
- Mm-hmm.
(crickets chirping)
(crickets chirping)
(Dakota giggling)
Can I ask you a question?
(soft dramatic music)
Why haven't you asked me
to be your girlfriend?
- Would you like to be?
- Yeah.
(soft dramatic music continues)
- And now you are.
(Skylar giggling)
- Senior year, stud.
Who is making it on your f*ck-it list?
(Dakota laughing)
- My f*ck-it list?
- Yeah, bro.
Who you finna smash and dash
before you get to college?
(Dakota laughing)
- Dude, I don't know.
I'm just trying to grind.
I want 12 TDs this season.
- Dude, I want 12 t*tties in my face.
What about besides football?
- Bro, there's no such
thing as besides football.
- God, you're boring.
(Jaeden sighing)
- Okay.
How about
I finally bang, Skylar?
- Okay,
now that is something I can get behind.
Literally.
- Oh, watch it.
Finally made it official with her tonight.
- What?
No way!
What happened?
- Yeah, I asked if we wanted to try it.
- She said yes?
- [Dakota] She said yes.
- Hot dog!
sh*t, it's about damn time!
Now, if you don't mind,
I am gonna stroke the goat
because the thought of
her in those spandex
is living rent free in my brain.
(pillow striking)
Oh, f*ck!
(Jaeden laughing)
So I left Dakota and Skylar in the hot tub
and then I took Lindsay to the fire pit
and took care of her,
you know what I mean?
(group laughing)
- f*ck, you dude.
You didn't get anything, did you?
- f*ck you, you virgin.
Ask Riley, man.
I was straight pulling.
- Bro, can you confirm this bullshit
this man's spitting right now?
- I was too busy getting my own,
so I don't know what he did.
- Okay!
That's what I'm talking about, baby.
- Dude, this man right
here is full of sh*t.
Skylar is not into his Wonder Bread a*s!
- Yo!
(group laughing)
- Wonder Bread?
Man, come on.
- Listen, listen, listen.
Liam's f*gg*t a*s got
better shot at Skylar
than my boy Riley do.
(group laughing)
- Wait, guys.
Guys, guys.
- [Hector] I bet Liam's seen
all the hot chicks' t*ts.
It's gotta be the one sick thing about-
(group laughing)
- My f*gg*t a*s what, Desmond?
- Oh, f*ck.
- Yo, no, what'd you say, dude?
- [Desmond] Bro, nothing.
- No, what'd you say?
I mean, if you can say it here,
you can say it to my face, right?
- Hey, Liam, just chill.
Just relax.
Hey, it's chill, Liam.
- No, no, no, go on, say it to my face.
Can't you?
- Man, get this guy outta here.
- Come on, say it to my face,
- [Jaeden] Liam, just chill out, man.
- Can't you?
- Is this man still here?
- Hey.
Hey, Desmond,
look at me.
You know, I don't care
if you call me a f*gg*t,
you know, just as long as when you do it,
I get to feel your-
(hands striking)
(group gasping)
- Desmond, what the f*ck?
Stop.
- No, no, no, no, no, no,
we're good, we're good, we're good.
Just don't say it so
loud next time, you know,
you might actually turn me on.
- [Hector] Liam, shut the f*ck up.
- [Liam] Choke on a d*ck, Hector.
- [Hector] Hey, f*ck it, man.
Ignore that sh*t.
- [Lifters] Let's go, baby.
Let's go, baby.
All day, baby!
- Lift, lift, lift!
Go, go, go, go!
(lifters cheering)
(metal rattling)
- 245.
New PR.
- All right, all right, all right.

- Come on, Riley.
Let's see it, Riley.
Let's go, Dakota!
(hands clapping)
- [Lifter] Come on, big boy!
- Hey, no, leave those on.
- Ooh!
Come on, same energy.
Let's see it.
- All day, baby, come on.
- [Lifter] Come on, big boy.
- Let's go, let's go, let's go.
Relax.
(lifters cheering)
Come on, come on, come on.
(Dakota grunting)
- Ah!
f*ck, dude, I had that.
Come on now.
- [Dad] Dre, take those tens off.
- All right.
Do not touch it this time,
no matter what.
- [Jaeden] Come on, baby.
[Spotter] Let's go, let's go!
Let's go, let's go, let's go!
- [Jaeden] Come on, Riley!
- [Spotter] Throw it up!
- [Jaeden] Let's go, Dakota!
- [Spotter] Let's go, let's go!
(Dakota grunting)
- [Jaeden] There you go,
there you go, there you go.
(metal rattling)
There you go, bro.
There you go, Riley.
- 225.
A new PR.
(hands clapping)
(locker door squeaking)
- Jesus, Jae, put those
f*cking abs away, dog.
What is this, "Men's Health?"
- What, too sexy for you?
- Come on, dude.
Yeah, you're too pretty, man.
- You getting a b*ner
just looking at me, dog?
- Do you want me to?
- I mean, sh*t, if you want me to.
- I just might.
- Just (indistinct), bro.
- Yeah, let's go.
- Bro, we are gonna be all over
that team's cover two, baby.
If that corner plays uptight on you,
that nine route is yours.
Whoa, damn, stud.
- Ooh.
- My man, look at you.
- Keep it to yourself, handsy.
You can't afford me.
Where's yours, anyway?
- Well, I keep it shaved, dude.
Gets all tangled and sh*t.
Plus, you know the ladies
like it smooth down there.
Check it out, look.
- Oh, looks like an alien, my guy.
- Bruh, don't act like you
never shaved your pubes before.
- Nah, never.
You hand me my shirt?
- Feel it!
Feel how smooth it is.
- Nah, I'm good, dog.
- Come on, bro.
Don't be a p*ssy, just feel it.
(Dakota chuckling)
- Nah, um, for real, dude, I'm good.
- Okay, well, you wanna see the rest?
(soft music)
- You trying to show me?
- b*tch, shut the f*ck up!
Weirdo.
But for real, though, try
the shave sometime, yeah?
Tree looks bigger in the desert
than it does in the forest,
you know what I mean?
Remember it.
(soft dramatic music)
- What'd you come here for?
(Dakota panting)
(bed squeaking)
(Dakota panting)
So you wanna try rough?
- Um, yeah, let's do it.
Yeah.
(bed squeaking)
(bed squeaking)
- Oh, sh*t!
sh*t, hey.
- Hey, I'll buy new ones.
(clothes rustling)
(Dakota panting)
(hand slapping)
- Wait!
- What?
- Can we just go, like, a little slower?
- You said you wanted it rough.
- No, I know.
I just, not like this rough right away.
- Okay.
- Katie, Lindsay, like it was
a rite of passage at Oakdale.
If you didn't have a crush on
Dakota Riley, you were dead.
- But-
- Or a l*sbian.
- But why, though?
Because like Jaeden or
Ryan or any of those other-
- No.
- Like other guys,
they're just as eligible.
- No.
I know, but like, you weren't like them.
I think that's what made
you different, you know?
You weren't threatening.
- Hey, now I can be threatening, okay?
You say the word and I can threaten you
like you've never seen.
(Skylar laughing)
I can be threatening.
- I'd like to see you try.
(Skylar giggling)
(carnival music)
Hey, can I make things awkward?
- Yeah.
What is it?
- Today at lunch,
what was that?
- Like, yes, Desmond
overreacted, for sure.
But it kind of felt like
Liam was instigating, no?
- Instigating?
You heard what Desmond called him, right?
And you didn't say a word.
- I don't know.
The guys say sh*t like that all the time,
but it doesn't mean anything.
It's just hazing.
- That wasn't just hazing.
- I don't know.
Like, I think Liam can hold his own.
That's all I'm trying to say.
Like, it's not my job to protect him.
(carnival music continues)
Hey, Desmond can be a jackass.
Next time I'll say something, okay?
- Okay, don't beat yourself up.
- How was practice today?
- Good.
Oh my gosh, um, I have a
tournament this weekend.
This Saturday.
- What?
- Like, you have to be there.
- Yes!
- Okay.
- Saturday, okay, yes.
I have to work with Liam
on this French project.
As soon as it's over, I'm there.
- Sweet.
(soft dramatic music)
Hey, I'm really glad that
we came out, just us two.
- Me too.
(soft dramatic music continues)
Will you stay with me
(upbeat music)
(singer harmonizing)
Come on play that drum
(car door shutting)
- Hey.
(keys rattling)
- Hey, what are you-
- Is this okay?
- Yeah.
- Yeah?
(Dakota exhaling)
(zipper unzipping)
(Dakota panting)
(Dakota panting)
(Dakota panting)
(Dakota exhaling)
(heart pounding)
Yeah?
(metal rattling)
- Oh.
Just keep going.
(heart pounding)
(metal rattling)
- Is there anything I can do,
like, differently right now?
- No, no, I'm sorry, just-
- Don't be sorry.
- Just keep going.
(heart pounding)
- You wanna see the rest?
- How does it, like, feel?
Should I do anything different?
- It feels good.
(Dakota exhaling)
- Well, are you sure?
- I'm so sorry, Sky.
I think I'm just, like, nervous, you know?
I've never done that before.
Me, neither.
(Skylar giggling)
Another night?
- Another night.
- Yeah.
(Dakota exhaling)
Buckle that up.

- [Jaeden] Hey, Ry, you good in there?
- Yep.
- [Jaeden] Everything okay?
- Yep, all good.
I'm okay, thanks.
(Dakota sighing)
(upbeat electronic music continues)
(door creaking)
- Hey, bud.
Your Mom said you took Skylar out tonight?
- Mm-hmm.
We went to the boardwalk.
- Nice.
(Dad sighing)
Hey, how about that Desmond, man?
He must have really put in
some work this summer, huh?
- Yeah.
I prioritized cardio and skills
training in the off season.
- Yeah, I know, I know.
It's great, yeah.
- Physicality's not
gonna cut it for me, Dad,
so I'm working on what I can do,
which is run the sharpest routes possible
and catch every ball thrown to me.
- Sure.
That is great, but you know,
you get jammed up in the line
or you can't hold your block,
physicality does coming into play.
- Okay, so then maybe
you shouldn't have had me
lifting weights so young
and then maybe you wouldn't
have stunted my growth.
I don't know what to tell you.
(Dad sighing)
- You got some shaving
cream on your ear, bud.
Wipe that off.
Big game tomorrow.
(Jaeden sighing)
- Yo, what are you doing?
- I thought you were asleep.
(Jaeden sighing)
- [Jaeden] I was.
Where you been?
- I went out with Skylar tonight.
- Sick invite.
What did you guys do?
(Dakota sighing)
- She gave me a hand job.
- Shut the f*ck up, really?
- Yeah, dude.
- You ever just wake up
and you're, like, really f*cking hard?
- Sometimes.
- That's f*cking me right now.
- Are you gonna do anything about it?
- Are you?
- Maybe.
- Well, f*ck it.
I'll do it, too, then.
(soft dramatic music)
- [Team] "Hallowed be They name.
Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who
trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil,
for Thine the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
now and forever.
Amen."
- Get your f*cking heads up!
All of you, listen to me, all right?
Tonight, you got one f*cking job.
You do that job, we come home with a win!
(dramatic music continues)
One team on three.
One, two, three!
- [Team] One team!
(dramatic music crescendos)
- [Mom] You guys were
unstoppable last night.
- Their cover two was spotty.
- Mm-hmm.
Um,
I've been wanting to ask you,
do you have any idea how long
he's gonna be staying here?
- I don't know.
Is it a problem?
- Uh uh.
No, I just, um,
I was just was wondering,
do you think it's odd
that boys are having
sleepovers in high school?
- His mom kicked him out.
- Yeah, but he didn't tell you why.
- If he wanted me to
know why, I'd know why.
(birds chirping)
- Okay.
- So I broke up with Lindsay.
She's too young.
She needs to grow up, I think.
She doesn't wanna make out.
- I thought you fingered her?
- Technically, I didn't.
What's up, dude?
- Got a manual.
- Technically that didn't actually happen.
- Okay.
- Oh, yo, I heard Courtney
broke up with what's his face?
(fingers snapping)
You should invite her over later.
- Yeah.
I'll ask Sky about it.
- Oh, actually, yo,
(Dakota laughing)
what are you doing tonight?
My brother told me about
this college party at state.
We could invite the girls too, huh?
(Dakota sighing)
- Is there gonna be drinking?
- Is there gonna be drinking?
What?
Do you hear yourself?
You sound like f*cking a virgin dude.
(Dakota laughing)
What?
- All right, this play,
when we work the short side
of the field, okay, guys,
and we go twins right,
okay, Riley, this is you.
You need to be up on the line here, okay?
You gotta check with the ref.
And this is basic stuff, okay?
This should have been a penalty, right?
But luckily for you, it wasn't.
And on top of that,
this was the first touchdown
we scored in the game.
Guys, this should have been called back.
Okay, we cannot rely on shoddy refereeing
in order to win games, gentlemen.
Okay?
Riley, you listening?
Hey, look at me.
Listen, this is day one stuff.
We cannot be making these
simple mistakes, okay?
You especially should know better.
- Check with the ref.
I got it.
- All right, Coach Dre,
let's just play through.
I'm a coach, right?
I see something wrong on the
tape, I have to point that out.
- I know.
I'm not saying that you're wrong.
I'm just saying that, like,
it'd be nice to know not
just what I'm doing wrong.
- Oh Jesus, do not gimme
this Gen Z crap, okay?
What do you want, a medal
every time you catch a pass?
- No, Dad, I just want-
- You're getting a little close.
Slow down.
(Dakota sighing)
- No, I don't want, I don't need a trophy.
I just,
(hand tapping)
some kind of affirmation that
I'm putting in a lot of work,
that it's being recognized
and that it's paying off.
- But yeah, a 34-24 win,
that is a lot of affirmation
if you ask me.
- Well,
I caught three of those touchdowns,
so is it safe to say that
the score would've been-
- This is a g*dd*mn team sport, Riley.
You didn't throw those passes to yourself.
You understand that?
- Yes, I understand that.
I understand how football works.
(Dad sighing)
- I don't understand what
this whole Randy Moss,
TO diva thing that you're
pulling right now is, okay?
But I'm gonna tell you something,
if you pull that crap at the
next level, they will cut you,
blink of an eye.
(fingers snapping)
They won't even think
twice, full ride or not.
(door opening)
(door shutting)
(birds chirping)
(birds chirping)
(birds chirping)
(hand knocking)
(Liam humming)
(door opening)
- Nice whip.
- That's my Dad's.
(Liam whistling)
- Daddy's got a nice car.
I didn't know football
coaches made that much.
- It's not from coaching.
He played in the league for a little.
(door shutting)
- Wait, like the NFL?
Wow, he must have been good to drive that.
Are you as good as him?
- I'm better.
Is anyone home?
- Uh, no.
Mom works late most days.
- How about your Dad?
- He's dead.
- Oh sh*t, I'm sorry.
I didn't know.
- No, it's okay,
I'm totally kidding.
(Liam laughing)
I mean, he is dead,
but he's been gone for a long time,
so it's, like, not a big deal anymore.
- Got it.
(hands clapping)
So Maman taught me how
to make this b*mb-a*s
(Liam speaking in French) dish
that I was thinking we could do.
- Okay.
I don't know what you just
said, but okay, that works.
- Oh yeah, it's like eggs and
cream and sugar and stuff,
butter and milk and sh*t.
Here, let me find it.
Mm, mm, mm.
Oh my God, hey, good game yesterday.
(Dakota laughing)
- Thanks.
Yeah, we had a good game.
- You had a good game.
Didn't you like score a
bunch or something, right?
- It wasn't on me.
Like, Jaeden and I had good chemistry.
- Mm.
- Grab this.
- Yeah, is that what they call it
when two people are
scoring all the points?
(Liam laughing)
- Kinda.
Jaeden and I were connecting a lot.
Lemme grab.
(Dakota coughing)
- Hey, so I heard something.
- What's that?
- I heard that when Jaeden
was in eighth grade,
he sent d*ck pics to Caleb.
- What the f*ck?
No, he didn't.
Who told you that?
- Caleb.
- Does Jaeden know this?
- Does he know what?
That he sent d*ck pics to Caleb
or that Caleb's telling people?
- No, I,
like, I know Jaeden, and I
don't think that that happened,
so, like, I think Caleb is lying.
- Well, that's what he told me.
I don't know, maybe he
made it up that it was him.
You know, he can instigate like that.
But he even showed me the pictures
and it kind of looked like
it could have been him.
But, you know, his face was covered, so.
- How, like, could it have been him?
- Well, if I imagine Jaeden naked,
then that's what I imagine, I guess.
(Dakota laughing)
- Do you do that often?
- Maybe.
Dude, come on, Jaeden's hot.
Don't tell me you've
never thought about it.
- Uh, no.
Why would I?
We're friends and I'm not into that sh*t.
- Oh right, that sh*t?
Don't you guys, like, see each other naked
in the locker room and stuff?
- Um, no, that's not how that works.
(Dakota clearing throat)
(Dakota clearing throat)
Do you have a bathroom I can use?
- Yep.
Right down that hall to the left.
- Thanks, man.
(water running)
(soft dramatic music)
(soft dramatic music continues)
(soft dramatic music continues)
(Dakota sighing)
- Hey, we set to go?
- Yeah, sure.
We can use my phone.
Um, I don't know how to
f*cking work this thing.
Can you try it?
- Yeah, let me see it.
(soft dramatic music continues)
What?
- Hey, um,
does Skylar know?
- What?
- Does she know?
- What are you talking about?
- Dakota?
- What, dude?
(soft dramatic music continues)
- What would you do if
I kissed you right now?
Hmm?
(Dakota panting)
It's okay.
Does she know?
- I don't know when you're talking about.
(Dakota panting)
(soft dramatic music continues)
Okay, okay, no, no, no,
we gotta get back to work.
- Is that okay?
Is it?
Dakota, is that okay?
It's okay for me.
Is okay for you?
(soft dramatic music continues)
(Dakota sighing)
(soft dramatic music continues)
(Dakota panting)
- Tomorrow, I'll take you out.
(Skylar giggling)
You can like go shopping
and get something.

- Good to see you.

- How'd it go?
You wanna ride to your car?
- No, my car's right there.
- Okay.
I just, we were working
on this French project
and I didn't know it
was gonna go that long.
I shouldn't have missed this.
- Mm-hmm.

Yeah, no, we did, I just,
I'm really bummed I missed this.

You wanna go do something?
We can go get food.
We can go do anything.
We can just talk.

I'm, like, I need a shower.
- Okay, well, once you're
cleaned up we could go get food,
see what Jaeden's up to, maybe?
He's going to a state party tonight.
Would you want to go to that?
(Skylar laughing)
- Jaeden, Jaeden, Jaeden,
Jaeden, Jaeden, Jaeden.
Jaeden, Jaeden.
Yeah, I'm not in a Jaeden

Have fun and I'll text you later.
- Yeah, for sure.
You want kiss me?
- Mm-hmm.
Bye.

(dramatic music)
(Dakota sighing)
They told not to smoke
drugs but I wouldn't listen
Never thought I'd get
caught and wind up in prison
Chalk it up to youth
But young age I ain't dissin'
I guess I just had to
get it outta my system
Outta my system
Outta my system
Oh Lord I'd never do it now
I know what I ain't missing
Glad I went and got
it all outta my system
(dramatic music continues)
The luster of youth
versus married security
I'm glad I'm here now but
just between you and me
I had to get out and make the deals
And learn to know how it feels
But that it ain't real
Outta my system
Oh outta my system
There's a way to have it all
You know I ain't kiddin'
Some things I know I'll
never get outta my system
(upbeat music continues)
If you don't live now
you ain't even trying
And then you're on your
way to a mid-life crisis
Living it out any way you feel
You can feel it in your bones
But try to deny it
Wipe it off your face but
your eyes won't hide it
You knew it all along
but never made it clear
(upbeat music continues)
They told me not to steal cars
Said I'd wind up in prison
Thought I knew it all
Yeah I wouldn't miss it
Chalk it up to young age
But youth I ain't dissing
I guess I just had to
get it outta my system
Outta my system
Whoa outta my system
I'm glad I did it all
And I know what I ain't missing
Glad I went and got
it all outta my system
(upbeat music continues)
I'm glad I did it all now
And know what I ain't missing
Glad I went and got
it all outta my system
Oh
I'm glad I did it all now
I know what I ain't missing
Glad I went and got
it all outta my system
Oh

(footsteps tapping)

(crickets chirping)
- Come on.
(Jaeden sighing)
- Ssh.
- Come on, let's go.

- All right, I got you.
Three, two, one, oh.
(Jaeden grunting)

- I like this.
- Oh yeah?
What else do you like, baby?
- Can I make a weird request?
- I like weird requests.
- Would you tell me that you love me?
Like, just say, "I love you?"
- What?
- I mean, you don't
have to, like, mean it,
it can just be like pretend, you know?
But like, what if you
pretended you're my boyfriend
or I'm your boyfriend?
Just, like, say those words, "I love you."
- I'm not pretending you're my boyfriend.
- Okay.
(Dakota sighing)
Okay, I know that's weird.
I'm sorry.

- See, that's what I do.
- Yeah, because he's told me
he had sex with every girl in school and-
- Skylar, Sky!
- [Caleb] He said it's true.
- Hey.
- Hey, what are you doing here, chica?
(Liam laughing)
- I'm good, how are you?
- We're doing a dance.
We need a third.
- Yeah.
Wait, do you wanna do it?
- No, I can't do that, but he-
- Oh my God.
- Oh my God, wait.
No, that's perfect.
- I can't.
- It kinda makes sense.
- Okay, no one said that you
have a choice in the matter.
Yeah, no, no.
- You'll be fine.
- I don't even know the dance.
- We'll show it to you.
- Yeah, show him real quick.
Show him real quick.
- Yeah, okay.
- Damn.
- For f*cking football starting.
- I'm trying my best.

If I hold you closely
Sensually
Could you let me leave this all behind
(upbeat music continues)
Never gonna get you off my mind
Off my mind off my mind
If I hold you closely
Sensually
Could you let me leave this all behind
(upbeat music continues)
- What the f*ck was that?
- It was so good!
(hands clapping)
- Phenomenal.
- [Dakota] I did it!
- [Skylar] Yeah!
- Did you k*ll that or what?
- I tried my best.
(Liam laughing)
- Look at it, the wiggle.
- It's like just, you're
like, "Oh no, I can't dance."
- I know.
- I'm proud, I feel like a dad.
- It's so good.
- I'll send it, for sure.
- It's so good.
Let's go.
- Let me-
- [Skylar] Yeah.
Bye, guys.
- Okay, bye.
- Bye, I guess.
(Caleb laughing)
(upbeat music continues)
(upbeat music continues)
Not gonna let you off this time
(upbeat music continues)
(upbeat music softens)
- You shaved?
(Skylar giggling)
(Dakota exhaling)
- [Dakota] Okay.
- Mm.
- How many times have you done this?
- I don't know; I don't think about it.
(Dakota panting)
- Softly.
Mm.
Okay.
- What?
- I think I'm good.
- You're good?
- Yeah.
I think I'm okay.
I think I'm gonna go.
- What do you mean?
- I just,
(Dakota sighing)
I'm gonna head out.
I'm sorry.
- What's your issue?
- Nothing, I just,
goddammit, I just,
can you just get off me?
- Just relax.
It's okay, here.
- Dude, get the f*ck off me.
- What's your problem?
- Get the f*ck off me,
please.
(bed squeaking)

Whew!

(hip hop music continues)
(metal rattling)
It's about
See I'm feeling cool
It's a space truck
Feel free to bring a friend
It's okay love
- Woo!
- We are here with senior
standout, Dakota Riley.
Riley, why don't you tell us about
the chemistry between you and
your quarterback on the field.
- Oh, we had pretty good
connection last week.
And Jaeden showed up big
time when we needed him to.
- Oh, well, speaking of
the Middleton quarterback,
here he is, the man
himself, Jaeden Galloway.
You are coming off a four-touchdown game.
Tell us, what goes through your mind
when you're putting up
numbers like you did
on Friday?
(Dakota sneezing)
Bless you.
- You know, heck, I gotta give
credit to the massive amounts
of steroids
(Dakota sneezing)
I inject up my a*s every week.
I don't know where I'd be without 'em,
honestly.
(Dakota laughing)
- Desmond Brown chiming in
with some breaking news.
Jaeden, how do you respond to rumors
that your go-to wide
receiver sucks your d*ck
in exchange for some more throws?
- What?
(Jaeden laughing)
- I mean, I can neither confirm
nor deny.
- f*ck you, Desmond!
- Maybe you'd get more throws
if you didn't drop every f*cking pass.
Hey b*tch
(hip hop music)
- Relax, f*ck, I'm just messing around.
- [Coach] Hey, stop!
(Dakota grunting)
- Yo, Riley, chill out!
- Hey, hey, hey, hey!
- Are you good?
- f*ck that sh*t, bro.
Little kid sh*t, bro.
- Let's go!
- f*cking little kid sh*t, bro.
- [Coach] Hey!
(dramatic music)
(door slamming)
- God.
(fist pounding)
(dramatic music continues)
(water running)
- Riley.
Riley, do you want to tell
me what the f*ck's going on?
- I'm good.
- [Dad] You're not good, you're bleeding.
- It's fine, I'm good.
- You got a bloody,
put your head up.
- It's fine.
- What happened?
- Yeah.
- What happened?
- I'm f*cking fine, Dad.
- Fine, why?
Then you tell me-
- It just got heated!
- Why is Coach Dre outside-
- I got heated!
- Breaking up fights?
- The guys were-
- What?
- Ribbing me.
- What?
Ribbing you, what?
How, what happened?
- Nothing, Dad.
- Goddammit,
I am not asking you-
- Stop now.
- As your father, I'm asking
as you coach right now-
- Stop!
- And I need to know.
- That I'm g*y!
All right?
I'm f*cking g*y.
It's stupid sh*t.
I don't know why they were saying it.
It was dumb.
- Who said you were g*y?
(Dakota blowing nose)
Who?
- Desmond.
- Riley, why are you
crying over this, like?
- I don't know.
(Dakota sighing)
I don't know.
It's dumb.
I don't f*cking know.
- Look, every undergrad
on this team looks to you
and you're out there getting
in fights over hazing?
- I know, I get it.
I get it.
I won't let it happen again.
I'm sorry.
- Good.
Now you and Desmond are
gonna talk this out,
face-to-face, like men.
- Okay.
- Get your sh*t together.
(locker door shutting)
- Yo, you hear about Central's safety?
- What, that he's, like, 20 or whatever?
- Yeah.
And his dad was, like, arrested
for getting him steroids
or some sh*t, I don't know.
We good?
- Yeah.
We're good, dude.
- So bless this food into our bodies.
We are very grateful.
(soft music)
In Jesus' name we pray,
Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
- Amen.
- Dig in!
- I love spaghetti night!
- Hey, this is world-famous.
(soft dramatic music continues)
- Ramsey Spaghetti, that's
what I'm talking about.
I'm telling you, I just
get so excited about it.
I'm still figuring that out, Mr. Riley.
But yeah, I think I look good in yellow.
(crickets chirping)
- What was in that sauce?
(Skylar laughing)
That sh*t was b*mb.
- My Dad loves that recipe.
That's his, like, go-to for hosting.
- Your parents are nice.
What's your dad say about me or us?
- Hmm.
We don't really talk about that.
- Don't guys usually talk to their dads
about that kinda stuff?
- We talk about other stuff, you know,
like where I'm gonna play next year.
- Where are you?
- I don't know.
- What's on your mind?
(Dakota sighing)
Come here.
(water splashing)
Is it okay if I do this?
- Yes.
Just shut up, yes.
(soft music continues)
Okay, go up.
- Okay.
- Mm.
Yeah, that's good.
(Skylar sighing)
That's nice.
(Skylar gasping)
- What are you looking at like that?
- I'm sorry.
- Are you enjoying this?
- Are you?
(water splashing)
(soft dramatic music)
(door opening)
- Hey, bud.
You were pretty quiet at dinner tonight.
You guys ready for tomorrow?
- Yes, Sir.
How are the schemes coming?
- Come here,
check this out.
(door creaking)
(Dad coughing)
Watch right here, coming up here.
Watch this.
Watch, watch how he reads the quarterback.
Just for a split second;
that's all it takes
and closing speed does the rest.
And boom,
(fingers snapping)
look at that, off and running.
- Yeah, the guys have been
talking about this guy,
saying that he's like
football Jesus or whatever.
- Football Jesus?
What are they saying?
- That he's, like, 20
and like a full grown
man, but only a sophomore.
(Dad laughing)
- Well, I can promise you he's not 20,
but he is 6'2", 180 pounds,
about as well-developed as they come.
- When you got hurt,
did you feel like,
were you worried at all
about letting people down?
(Dad sighing)
- No.
No, why?
- Like, what did you think
about when you got hurt?
(Dad sighing)
- I thought, "Ow.
My shoulder really
f*cking hurts right now."
(Dad chuckling)
(soft dramatic music)
(chair creaking)
(Dakota sighing)
- So I take it Courtney fell for
whatever trick you pulled on her?
- If by trick you mean
this thick d*ck, then yeah.
sh*t's magic, bro.
- No, you did not.
You pulled your d*ck out?
- Hells yeah, dude.
- Is it bad that sometimes
I'm glad he got hurt
just so that I don't have to, like,
try and live up to whatever
ridiculous other accomplishments
he might have made?
- The great Carson Riley?
That's kind of sadistic, but you know,
whatever floats your boat.
- My whole f*cking life,
I've always been Carson's kid.
(Jaeden sighing)
- Hey man, I get it.
(Dakota sighing)
- Did you really take your d*ck out?
- No.
(Jaeden chuckling)
But I bet she wanted me to, though.
(Jaeden sighing)
- How big are you?
- What, like,
like my c*ck?
- [Dakota] Yeah.
- Oh, well, I haven't
measured since, like,
middle school, so maybe seven?
It's probably bigger now.
You?
- Also seven.
Would it be weird if we, like, compared?
- Are you hard?
- No.
Are you?
- No.
- [Dakota] f*ck you.
You're lying.
- f*ck you!
I swear.
(bed creaking)
- Prove it.
(sheets rustling)
- All right,
let's see yours.
Come on, don't be a p*ssy.
(bed creaking)
(Dakota sighing)
Why are you shaking so much?
- I don't know.
- All right, let's see it.
(Dakota sighing)
Yeah, probably about the same size.
- Yeah.
You look a little bigger.
- Yeah.
Should we jerk off?
- Yeah, if you want to.
(Dakota sighing)
(Dakota panting)
(Dakota panting)
- What would you do if I grabbed it?
- Dude, will I have to grab yours?
- I, um,
I guess not.
- Okay.
(Jaeden sighing)
(Jaeden exhaling)
- Have you ever kissed a guy?
- Um, I'm not into dudes.
Are you?
- Am I what?
- Are you into dudes?
- I, uh,
I don't know.
- You don't know?
- I don't think so,
but,
it's just weird.
- Um,
yeah.
Yeah, kinda.
- It's just like boys being boys, right?
- Yeah.
I'm kind of tired, man.
- Yeah, same here.
(bed creaking)
(Jaeden coughing)
Good night.
(soft music)
(crickets chirping)
(footsteps tapping)
(door closing)
(engine humming)
(soft music continues)
(soft music continues)
(door opening)
(door opening)
- Should we go somewhere?
- Like where?
- I don't know, just drive.
(engine humming)
Couldn't sleep?
- No.
You, either?
- I'm always up late.
So what's up?
You wanna talk about the other day?
- I don't know.
(Dakota sighing)
How do you feel?
- I feel okay.
You ever done that before?
- No.
- Does Skylar know about you?
- About what, dude?
- Dude, you don't have to
beat around the bush, okay?
What happened happened,
and we both let it happen.
It's okay.
- Is it?
Skylar's your best friend.
- Yeah, and she's your girlfriend.
Look, if you're gonna be
secretly checking your app
at my house, then-
- I don't know what you're talking about.
You just did it.
- I asked if it was okay.
- You told me it was okay.
- Yeah, and you didn't stop me.
You leaned into it, even.
Did you not want me to?
- I, listen,
you can't tell anyone about this.
- Oh my God, you're not serious, Dakota.
- I know you like talking,
and you and Caleb like to instigate things
and push the limits of people.
- What the f*ck are you talking about?
Who else knows?
I haven't said a word.
- God.
I guess there's nothing to know.
- Wow!
You should really lighten up, dude.
You're, like, so in your own head.
Like, relax dude, okay?
It's not a big deal.
Nobody cares anymore.
- It's absolutely a
big, are you kidding me?
You have no idea what
would happen if this,
if what happened between
you and I got out.
- Okay, so tell me what would happen?
What would happen?
- Everything!
Every,
m-my parents, my coaches.
I have six colleges
waiting on me to commit
and go do something and expecting me-
- Oh.
- Expecting me to be something.
And what you and I did
is not a part of that.
That's not who I am.
- Maybe it f*cking is, dude.
And you don't think every
other person at Middleton
is feeling the exact f*cking pressure?
You think you're the only one?
Like your friends aren't calling
me f*gg*t behind my back?
And you just sit there!
No, you just sit there
silent, like you're in on it,
like you're a part of the joke,
when really you are the joke, Dakota.
- You're allowed to, though.
It's not, it's different.
- Why am I allowed to?
Why, because I f*cking
suck d*ck and people know?
Join the club, dude.
We f*cking hooked up and you enjoyed it.
That's okay.
- You don't have the expectations-
- Oh my God, f*ck your
expectations Dakota!
I wish you could experience
what I deal with,
what I put up with to protect you.
You know what?
Let's watch what happens
the next time one of your friends
calls me or Caleb or anyone else f*g,
'cause you know what?
Maybe then I won't protect you.
(hand striking)
(Liam gasping)
I'm sorry.
(dramatic music)
- Hey, hey, wait, wait, wait, what?
Liam, hey.
Hey!
- Get the f*ck off me.
- Hey, you seriously can't tell anyone.
Hey, I'm so serious right now.
Please, please.
- f*ck you.
- Liam, listen, Liam.
Liam, please!
Look, look, look, look, look at me.
It'll ruin everything, okay?
My family, my friends.
I can't let you leave
until I know that you're not
gonna tell anybody, please.
Please, please.
- Dakota, I'm going.
Don't talk to me at school.
(dogs barking)
Okay, just go the f*ck home, dude.
Jesus Christ.
(dogs barking)
(somber music)
(dogs barking)
(somber music continues)
(Dakota coughing)
- Where did I come in from?
- Out and back.
(Dakota sighing)
- Hey, can I ask you something?
- Ugh.
Just ask it.
- What?
- Just some beta sh*t, man.
If you have something to say, say it.
If you have a question, ask it.
- How did you and your boyfriend meet?
- [Lover] Online.
- Is he out?
- Is he out?
(lover laughing)
Yeah, dude.
- When did you come out?
- I didn't.
That sh*t's so antiquated.
Like, who cares?
- How did you know?
- How'd you know?
- I don't know.
- You don't know how you know
or you just don't know in general?
- I don't know how to answer.
- Well,
(lover sighing)
(lover chuckling)
you're here, aren't you?
What do you need, a diagnosis?
I think that's your answer.
(lover chuckling)
- This just isn't who
I was supposed to be.
And I think there's a part of me
that's always gonna believe that.
And I don't want to choose for my life
to be different than it is now.
I don't want to choose to
live one way or the other.
- Whoa, your parents
really f*cked you up, huh?
So don't choose.
Just live it.
Here,
when I don't know what the
f*ck to do, I flip a coin.
- What am I flipping for?
- I don't know.
That's up to you.
Heads, you keep all this under wraps
and end up resenting yourself for it,
tails, you don't; you just keep living.
Flip the coin, but don't act on the coin.
Acting on the coin makes you feel.
Look,
(lover sighing)
dude, I didn't expect to
be anybody's Obi Wan today,
but I can see you're going through it.
We all have choices to make.
You can choose
to keep all this outta sight
and probably live a
miserable f*cking life,
or you can say f*ck it and
live the life you wanna live.
And yeah, things are gonna change,
but everything's f*cking
changing all the time anyway.
So I dunno what the
f*ck you came here for,
but you seem smart enough to know that
I don't have your answer.
But I'll tell you this,
you care way more than anybody
in your life probably does.
And those that do care,
those people may come around,
or they might not,
and there's nothing you can do about it.
So you could say f*ck all to those people
or you can love on those assholes,
(soft music)
despite their assholery,
like I have.
(lover sighing)
(soft music continues)
(hand tapping)
(soft music intensifies)
(soft music continues)
(door opening)
(footsteps tapping)
(bed creaking)
- Yo, where'd you go?
- I couldn't sleep.
(Dakota coughing)
I just went out.
- [Jaeden] Riley?
- Yeah?
- Can what happened tonight
just stay between us?
I don't wanna get kicked out again.
- Will you still talk to me at school?
- Of course, dude.
You're my best friend.
I just don't want people to
get the wrong idea about me.
You know?
- I won't say anything if you won't.
(sheets rustling)
(Dakota sighing)
(birds chirping)
(birds chirping)
(birds chirping)
(Dakota sighing)
(water running)
(soft music)
- I'm gonna get to class early.
I have a quiz I need to study for.
- But it's game day;
you need breakfast.
- Sorry,
my teacher can only do mornings.
- Well-
- But thank you.
I'll see you tonight.
(door shutting)
(soft music continues)
- I got it, thanks.
(students chattering)
(birds chirping)
(Skylar chuckling)
(birds chirping)
- [Skylar] Hi.
- Hey.
- Oh my God.
Hey, what happened to you eye?
- Burst capillaries.
I'm fine.
Free to talk?
- [Skylar] Are you icing it?
- I was, on and off, yeah.
(riser steps rattling)
(Skylar sighing)
- So I have news.
- Yeah, what you got?
- I got into BU,
(Skylar giggling)
and Courtney, too.
- No f*cking way!
- Yeah.
(Skylar giggling)
- Congratulations, Sky.
- Thanks.
- That's awesome.
That's so awesome.
That's awesome.
- Thank you.
Yeah.
I wanted to tell you earlier,
but Liam says that you weren't in class,
and you hadn't texted me,
so we thought something happened.
- Yeah, um,
my eye is ugly.
- Mm-hmm.
- I didn't wanna be seen.
- Yesterday at dinner,
you seemed a little distant, too.
(birds chirping)
You know, you can talk to me, right?
Like, about anything.
(Dakota sighing)
(soft music)
Hey.
- Do you remember,
do you remember that advice
your grandma gave you
you told me about?
- Yeah, that Tumblr bullshit?
- Yes, that's it.
Well, I've been thinking about it lately.
It's been on my mind.
(birds chirping)
- How so?
- Because I have always known
what I wanted to do.
I always wanted to play football.
I wanted to carry my Dad's legacy,
play college, go pro.
Like, I knew that.
- Yeah.
- It's like the one thing that
I feel like I always knew.
- Mm-hmm.
- And for a long time,
I was really certain that
that's what I wanted with you,
you know?
'Cause it seems so obvious,
and I mean, f*cking look at you.
But here lately I've been
thinking a lot about,
you know, what do I want
versus what everyone else
wants in all of this.
What am I doing it for?
Who am I letting down by doing it?
And who am I letting down by not doing it?
(crowd cheering)
But I know that I want to
be the best at what I do.
You know, when I put my mind to something,
I don't rest until I feel
like I am the best at it.
When I pick a path, I commit
and I don't veer from it.
- And I love that about you.
- But I think I'm starting to realize
that our paths have crossed at a time
where I just can't be the best for you,
(soft music continues)
and it's hard.
It's really, really hard
not to be able to do that.
(birds chirping)
- Dakota, can you just
tell me what you're saying?
- I'm not ready to say what I am yet,
but I'm not straight.
I tried.
(soft music intensifies)
I hope you know that.
I really tried.
We tried, but I don't want to hurt you.
I think the whole world of you.
You deserve everything.
I just wish I could give it to you.
(birds chirping)
(soft music continues)
(birds chirping)
- Then, um,
I think,
I think you should follow that advice.
"The fullest life is lived in truth,"
and all Tumblr bullshit.
(birds chirping)
(Skylar sniffling)
(Dakota sighing)
I'm gonna be,
I'm gonna be okay.
And if I'm okay, you're okay.
(birds chirping)
Yeah?
(soft music continues)
(Dakota sniffling)
- Thank you.
(soft music continues)
- Listen up, gentlemen.
This one isn't gonna be any
easier than the last one.
We have a tough opponent
out there tonight.
Now we know this team's gonna play tough,
and we know we're gonna
face some adversity.
You get pushed around,
you get back up,
you brush yourself off and
you say, "What's next?"
Tonight, you do that
and I promise you we're gonna
have a hell of a good game.
(soft music continues)
I'm not saying it's gonna be easy,
but it's gonna be good.
(upbeat marching band music)
(crowd cheering)
(upbeat marching band music continues)
- You ready?
(crowd cheering)
(crowd cheering)
(hands clapping)
(crowd cheering)
(hands clapping)
(crowd cheering)
(hands clapping)
(crowd cheering)
(hands clapping)
- Hey, yo, listen up!
Tonight, we apologize for nothing.
(teammates cheering)
Tonight, we play like we know how to play.
- Yes, Sir!
- And we win
like we know how to win.
(teammates cheering)
Get pushed down, get the f*ck up.
We gotta keep moving.
(teammates cheering)
(hands clapping)
One team, on three.
Ready?
One,
two,
three!
(dramatic music softens)
(acoustic guitar music)
(acoustic guitar music continues)
(acoustic guitar music continues)
Hey
Get out of your head
It's fine
You're just upset
Ignite
The fire inside
You're right
I just need time
Right
I'm stuck in my head
I am fine
I'm just upset
Ignite
The fire inside
You're right
I just need time
(acoustic guitar music continues)
(acoustic guitar music continues)
(acoustic guitar music softens)
(no audio)
