01x03 - TCKS

[bunniefuu]

[DESTINY] Previously on Big Shot

My name is Marvyn Korn,

and I will be your new coach.

You're the star player.

He said he doesn't want better players.

He wants a better team.

My life is basketball.

There is no after work.

Well, there's an opportunity,

but it's in Italy.

You should take it, and

I can go live with Dad.

We do in fact have some issues with you.

Here at Westbrook, I do

not teach your players.

You coach my students.

My father called me an embarrassment.

- Those words made me lose myself.

- [SHOUTS]

I'd give, like, anything

to see my dad again.

[TOGETHER] Oh!

The pressure, it's on.

- You're connecting with these girls.

- Oh, stop it.

Why are we here during

our lunch period?

Yeah, it's chicken nugget day.

I don't know. Coach has some

kind of announcement for you.

What could possibly be so important

we have to be late for lunch?

On chicken nugget day.

They have seven sauces.

[WHISTLE BLOWING]

- Is the whistle really necessary?

- Yes, it really is.

All right, girls. Eyes up here.

Question.

What do these banners

all have in common?

Can we just skip to the

part when you tell us?

They all say, "Division III".

"Division III". "Division III".

"Division III".

Maybe 'cause we're in Division III.

Yes, but by the end of this year,

we are going to be in Division II.

Did you just wake up

with this idea, Coach?

- I actually suggested this last year.

- Yes, but did you get it done?

Thought about it from the first day,

but I wasn't sure until I saw

our win against Encinitas

that I realized that

we actually have a shot.

But to do it, we'd have to win,

like, almost all of our games.

Bingo, Mouse.

Nice work on the math.

It's not gonna be easy,

but do you remember what John F. Kennedy

said when he was our president?

No, because none of them were born yet.

- Neither was I.

- Oh, please.

He said, "We do this not because

it is easy, but because it is hard".

That's Division II.

That was about the moon.

DII is our moon. Don't

you see it, Mouse?

We wanna do this. We're gonna

get more attention from colleges.

We're gonna get more

people in the stands,

we're gonna get more

support for this team.

But mostly we need to do this

because it's so important to keep

challenging ourselves every single day.

[DESTINY] I mean, that would

be, like, a really big deal.

Like, Westbrook's never

been a DII school.

You know why? Because

Westbrook has never had us.

Let's do this, Sirens. Where we going?

[SIRENS] To the moon!

No. D DII. Where we going?

[ALL] DII!

All right.

[CELL PHONE WHISTLES]

Oh, no. They're down to six sauces.

You follow the cafeteria on Twitter?

You don't?

[RHYTHMIC CLAPPING]

[CROWD CHEERS]

[WHISTLE BLOWS]

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

So, you love it? Great idea, right?

Yeah. Yes, of course.

I mean, it would be an

incredible achievement,

but you realize that

if we make it to DII,

we're gonna have our asses

handed to us for a while?

That'll be a nice problem

to have, won't it?

Okay. Yeah. I mean,

if you're in, I'm in.

Good.

Aren't you supposed to be

picking up your daughter?

- Yeah, I'm going right now.

- Cool.

I don't think I've ever been in here.

Yeah. It's weird.

[CHUCKLES]

A lot better than back home, isn't it?

This is insane.

It was four degrees there.

It's like another planet.

Everyone's a model here.

- Maybe I'll take surfing lessons.

- Yeah, maybe.

What are you looking

forward to the most?

Oh, I don't know.

Parties on the beach, getting a tan,

but mostly spending time with you.

There's so much fun stuff

we can do together,

and it doesn't have to be

on the weekends anymore.

Yeah. I can't wait. We

can do anything you want.

- Hey! I have a permit! Can I drive?

- No.

Excited about school tomorrow?

Yeah, excited.

- And a little nervous.

- Come on. Don't be. You're gonna love it.

What I'm gonna love is

living in California.

Yep. There's no place like it.

[EMMA] What are we

- Are we getting lunch here?

- Yes.

And breakfast and dinner.

This is where we live.

A Klimpson Luxury Express?

I've stayed in them all over

the country. They're great.

Come on.

Huh.

I mean, like, yeah,

I guess a lot of the faculty members

don't really want him here.

I'm not gonna say names,

but [COUGHS] Ms. Grint. So

I mean, me and the girls, we honestly

just think he's a great coach.

- And that

- [GIRL] Thank you.

Hey, you know, these don't

really sound like your typical

teacher profile questions.

Journalistic integrity demands

I get the story from all angles.

So, has Coach Korn ever

displayed the kind of anger

that got him kicked out of the NCAA?

Like, you mean, has he ever

thrown a chair at us? No.

Okay. Moving on.

Has he ever mentioned his father?

My sources indicate a

pretty rocky relationship.

He said his dad called him an

embarrassment when he was a kid.

So, maybe that messed him up.

I see.

And do you think that could point

to a certain emotional instability?

I guess.

Could you say that in a full sentence,

and as more of a statement

so I can edit myself out later?

Okay.

Um, I guess Coach is

emotionally unstable.

- Thank you.

- A little bit. Just like all of us

That's all. Thanks, Olive.

Next I need

Carolyn Rose Adrienne Smith.

I'm gonna look stupid.

Mouse, relax.

It's a stupid teacher profile

for the school website.

- They do them for everyone.

- No, I'm talking about Harper.

She's really smart and sophisticated.

I just know I'm gonna

freeze up in front of her.

Okay, well, dude, look. She's

not even paying attention to you.

Look at her. She's taking

this one super serious

because Coach is the only real

celebrity she's ever profiled.

You'll be fine. Get out there.

- [HARPER] Tell us your name.

- Mouse.

That's right.

I saw you last week

in the Encinitas game.

You hit that three-pointer.

You're really good.

- You saw that?

- Mm-hmm.

Thanks. I mean, yes, I did.

There's this new coach. He's

really, really, really, really, like,

"bring your best", um, coach in

the NCAA. I got really excited.

Uh, what's wrong with her?

And then he asked me

to lead the karaoke step.

And I got really excited because

no one's ever asked me

to lead anything before, but he did.

He obviously believes in me. Do

you like sushi? I like sushi a lot.

- She has a crush.

- Big time.

[HARPER] Let's get

back to the questions.

- Which, um

- Wow.

But, you can't go wrong

with a rainbow roll.

Because it has everything.

And have you tried uni?

It's weird at first

because it feels like

tongue but it tastes like ocean.

[BREATHING HEAVILY]

- Huh?

- [SIGHS]

"Welcome to your new home, Emma.

Love your dad and your friends

at the Klimpson Luxury Express,

another fine Klimpson Resort property".

That's an off-menu item. I

had to call special for that.

Great. Thanks.

- So, what do you think?

- It's nice.

You hate it.

It just seems so gray.

And temporary.

You do know that I'm living here

now. Where am I gonna sleep?

You thought I forgot, didn't you?

Look at this.

Come here.

Your very own room and

your very own bathroom.

Oh.

- Exactly the same as this one.

- Mm-hmm.

I guess I just thought we were

gonna be in our own place,

- like a beach house or

- No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no.

This is much better. No, trust

me. Hotel living is terrific.

If you want something to

eat, boom, room service.

Dirty laundry? They take your clothes,

clean 'em, bring 'em back

just like little elves.

No. Once you have a taste of hotel life,

you're never gonna

wanna live anywhere else.

Sure.

That's the spirit. Come on.

Let's get you settled in here.

- Can I Thank you. Okay.

- You take that.

I'll take these.

All right! See, you got a big TV

with a wonderful selection of movies.

I watched Dunkirk last night.

You know what else has a

wonderful selection of movies?

Yeah, but you gotta watch

Dunkirk on a big screen.

Actually, can we check out the beach?

I wanna send Claire a pic.

- She'll be so jealous.

- I'm sorry, sweetie. I gotta get back to work.

Oh. Okay. Well, I'll come.

Well, it's practice. You don't

even like going to the games.

Why don't you stay here, unpack, relax?

You've had a long day. Go to the

beach. It's right out the front door.

Alone?

Yes, you're a big girl now.

I'll be back at 6:30 to tuck you in.

'Kay?

- Just kidding.

- Mm-hmm.

Here's I don't know

which one it is, but

There you go! Stay out of the minibar.

Welcome home, sweetie!

Yes! Nice! Now use

Yeah! Use the board, Tabitha!

Get your hands up, Olive!

Get your hands up!

Samantha, get back on defense! Push!

What are you doing here? I thought

you were picking up Emma.

I did. I picked her up,

dropped her off at the hotel,

got her settled and I came back.

Hotel? You're still at a hotel?

Please tell me you're at least

looking for an apartment.

Why? They change the

sheets every single day.

Do you change your sheets every day?

Come on, girls! Ball movement! Look!

Move!

[HOLLY] Nice!

- [MARVYN] Come on! Come on!

- Okay, again, like I said.

- What are you doing here?

- I'm here for practice.

I can handle practice.

If we're gonna get to DII,

it's gonna be all hands on deck.

I'm gonna drop this off,

and I'll be right back.

- Nice! Bring it back!

- [MARVYN] Who's got Destiny?

Olive, Olive, get over here!

[HOLLY] Come on, girls! Come on!

What the hell is this?

- [HOLLY] Good hustle.

- The interview you postponed three times.

Oh, yeah. I gotta postpone that.

- We thought you might say that.

- Who's "we"?

Marvyn, just do the damn

interview you agreed to.

- Oh

- Oh!

And I look forward to your

daughter's first day tomorrow

that I pushed through for you.

[HOLLY] Cut back!

Okay, what?

Take a seat.

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

What's TCKS?

Think two bedrooms

will be enough for us?

What?

Well, I just figure after the kids come,

we're gonna want more space.

Especially with all our rescue animals.

You mean the dogs, obviously.

Obviously, with your

terrible cat allergy.

Oh, yeah. Swollen eyes, all

that snot. It's not pretty.

[LAUGHS]

I think you're pretty.

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

Did Did you just take my picture?

I forgot my sound was on.

But to be fair, nobody back

home is gonna believe this.

You look like you just

fell out of a surf ad.

Wow. Are you objectifying me?

Can I?

[BOTH LAUGH]

I'm Lucas.

Emma. I'm new.

Really?

Well, maybe I'll see you around.

I hope so.

And I'd just like to say how happy I am

to be joining the Westbrook community.

I gotta get back to practice.

Super.

You came across exactly

as I knew you would.

Great.

[HOLLY] Good D, Destiny!

Hey, Coach, we got three minutes

on the clock. You wanna call it?

No way.

- [WHISTLE BLOWS]

- All right.

Gather round.

End-of-game scenarios.

Eight seconds left.

One down. No time-outs.

Destiny, you're passing in

from the baseline. Let's go.

And

Come on. 23, flare! Push it!

- Come on! Get back on defense!

- [MARVYN] Pass it up.

We need a bucket!

- [SIRENS CHEER, APPLAUD]

- [BUZZER SOUNDS]

Buzzer beater!

Okay. Not bad. Bring it in.

These end-of-the-game

scenarios are important

so we'll be prepared

for the final moments.

Good job.

- Sirens on three. One, two, three.

- [ALL] Sirens!

Oh, uh, starters, a minute.

So, uh, my daughter starts

school here tomorrow,

and, um, I was wondering

if you could do me a favor

and, you know, spend

a little time with her?

Maybe take her under your wing?

- Yeah. Sure.

- Guess so.

Okay, good. Thanks.

Oh, and don't tell her

I was asking, okay?

So, now we're babysitting?

What exactly is he expecting?

Well, probably sitting with her

at lunch, answering her questions,

talking to her, showing

her where things are.

And then we'll change her diaper,

and give her her bottle and

burp her like a baby. Fun.

And for the record,

Mouse, that was sarcasm.

I know. Hilarious.

All right, guys, look.

Chill. What if she's cool?

She's mini Korn.

She probably comes with a mini

whistle to give me a mini migraine.

Be careful. If we're not nice to

her, we're gonna get benched.

An obligation friend?

I hate her already.

Hilarious.

What is her problem?

[LOUISE SIGHS]

What are you doing?

Watching this power forward on Hermosa.

To get to DII, we've gotta know

every team in the district

inside and out.

[HOLLY] No, I mean what

are you still doing here?

It's just high school, Marvyn. Go home.

Go be with your daughter.

[MUTTERS]

Hey, sweetheart.

I'm back.

Sorry I'm late. I got stuck at work.

You must be starving.

Yeah! I was thinking we could go

out to dinner, see some La Jolla.

I'm sorry, sweetie, I have

to watch game film.

Come on. Dad, it's my first night here.

I don't wanna spend it in the hotel.

- Even if I get you some "ice cweams"?

- Did you have a stroke?

No, remember you used

to say "ice cweams"?

"Mamember"?

You're so annoying.

I'm sorry, sweetie.

If I'm gonna get these girls

to DII, I've gotta work.

Fine. Work.

I'll be in my hotel room.

[MARVYN] Okay, well

if you wanna join me to watch

some game films, you're welcome.

TCKS.

Stop saying that!

No one says that. I don't

even know what it means.

Yeah, 'cause I made it up.

What?

Yeah, I made it up. TCKS.

"Take care. Keep safe".

But if no one but you knows that,

it's just a bunch of letters.

Oh, it'll catch on.

- All right, TCK

- [DOOR SLAMS]

S.

[MARVYN] It's gonna

be a great first day.

And again, I'm sorry.

Yeah, me too.

Well, I thought for sure that I

I got the uniform express delivery,

- but I think the page got refreshed or something

- Dad.

I don't think anyone's gonna notice.

Or everyone will.

Okay!

Park here and I'll walk you in.

Or I'll go in.

You stay here, count to a

hundred, and then you go in.

Oh. All right. Good luck, sweetie!

- I love

- [CAR DOOR SLAMS]

you.

[SIGHS]

God, I hope this works out.

One, one thousand, two, one thousand

[GIRL] Looking for something?

Yeah, thanks. The

poli-sci class, room 112?

I meant your uniform.

It looks like you lost it.

Now on to ballot box

fundraising. When cities

She even looks like him.

Same hair, same eyebrows.

Similar eyebrows.

[MS. GRINT] on bond measures.

Now this raises money

for infrastructure,

for education and stadiums.

Yes, cities and universities

funnel billions of dollars

into the sacred world of sports,

so owners, players and

the almighty coaches

can become millionaires.

[WHISPERING] What is she doing?

Ms. Korn?

I'm sorry. I feel like maybe

this is about my dad.

[MURMURING] No, don't, don't, don't

[WHISPERING] Buckle up, ladies.

She's about to get

welcomed to Westbrook.

Well, since you brought it up,

your father is an outstanding example

of society's out-of-whack priorities,

which celebrate and reward

trivial athletic achievements.

- [WHISPERING] Feel my hands. I'm sweating!

- Ew!

I agree.

My father was the highest-paid

public employee in the state.

By a lot. [CHUCKLES]

Just to coach basketball?

Doesn't seem right.

[MS. GRINT] Oh, how

refreshing, Ms. Korn.

I mean, millions of dollars to

watch a ball thrown into a basket?

- It's ridiculous.

- Right.

And certainly not adding the value

to society of a first responder

or a social worker.

Or a teacher. Like you.

Precisely, thank you.

As a culture, we worship sports figures

instead of those who do

the hard, important work.

You surprise me, Ms. Korn.

Thanks.

[EXHALES]

But I guess there's also the

law of supply and demand.

[GASPS]

I'm sorry?

Well, I mean, if 20,000 people

would pay fifty bucks a ticket

to watch you teach poli-sci,

you'd be enriched too.

[WHISPERING] Damn,

Baby Korn came to pop.

[WHISPERING] Grint is

going to eviscerate her.

I beg your pardon?

Not to mention the millions

watching on TV.

Do you think they'd

tune in for this class?

See, that's the demand part,

all the people who watch.

And what do sports supply?

I think, maybe joy.

And joy is pretty important

too, don't you agree?

Croissants bring me joy, Ms. Korn.

But I do not expect the

taxpayers to provide my baker

with a seven-figure salary.

[EMMA] Well, if you or your baker

ever get tired of doing the hard work,

maybe you could take a break

and go coach in the Big Ten.

While you're there, try winning

twelve conference titles

and three national championships.

Pretty easy, right?

Although, only one coach

has ever done that.

He works here now.

I'm dying.

- I'm dead.

- She's dead.

Korn.

I was dearly hoping I wouldn't

have to see you today.

I know. I probably shouldn't

have argued with a teacher.

That's not why you're here.

You're in my office because

you won that argument.

Impressive. And stupid.

Truth is, I don't even

totally disagree with her.

I just didn't like her

taking shots at my dad.

And what's gonna happen the next

time somebody takes a shot?

Because there's going to be a next time.

Then I guess you and I are gonna

get to know each other real well.

You really are your father's

daughter, aren't you?

I really am. Thank you.

Not a compliment.

Sorry, I'm just

Back home was ground

zero for this kinda stuff.

It was a problem.

And you thought moving

closer to the source

of the problem was gonna help?

Probably not.

And I'm assuming he did

not order your uniform.

He tried.

I think he just got

confused by the computer.

Well, you're not confused by it,

so next time handle it yourself.

Luckily for you, I always keep

a few uniforms around here

because he's not the only

clueless dad at the school.

Welcome to Westbrook, Ms. Korn.

I look forward to never

seeing you in that seat again.

Sadly, it's reserved for your father.

Emma! Hey, Harper Schapira.

Just saw you in Ms. Grint's class.

Wow. Fireworks.

So, I'm doing a video profile on

your dad for the school website.

- And I was wondering if I could interview

- Sorry, not interested.

Your dad's a pretty polarizing figure.

I thought you'd want to

make sure that your side

of the story is fairly represented.

Look, I just got here. I

need a little space, okay?

Totally understand.

Let me know when you change your mind!

And then she said, "Maybe

if your class wasn't so lame,

people would pay millions of dollars

to tune in and watch your sorry a*s".

- I can't believe I missed that!

- It wasn't quite that extreme.

But seriously, Grint's face was like

[LAUGHS] And it was bright red.

You could tell she was shook.

So we grabbed her as soon

as we could and said,

"You are a legend. You

are eating with us".

- You're my spirit animal.

- [CHUCKLES]

Is your dad gonna lose his mind?

Oh, yeah, what's Coach really like?

Like, is he totally

different in the wild?

I don't know.

We're just kinda getting

to know each other,

if that makes sense.

Yeah, we figured he must

be a bit out of touch

once he asked us to be nice to you.

- Really?

- No, I just mean

It's okay. I'm not surprised.

For the record, you guys don't have to

hang out with me because my dad said so.

What don't you understand

about "You are a legend now"?

[CHUCKLES] There he is.

Is living with your dad as

miserable as I'm certain it is?

Nah, it's just

He's trying. I think it's weird

for him, me being here.

He's so busy, and he wasn't really

ever that close with his dad.

They haven't talked in, like

Anyway. It's kinda like he has to

figure this all out from scratch.

God, how many times is

he gonna pull that thing?

Excuse me.

- Dad? Can I help you with this?

- No, I got it.

I heard about your little

cage match with Grint.

Think I handled myself pretty well.

Oh, really? I heard you got

sent to Sherilyn's office.

You're one to talk. According to

her, you practically live there.

I just don't need you

fighting my battles.

They're my battles too.

Thanks to you.

And the damn soft serve

machine is probably empty!

Oh, it's It's empty.

You have to take it off standby.

See?

[SIGHS]

[GIRLS CHATTERING]

Found it!

[GIRLS LAUGH]

What?

My uniform.

I know you were concerned

earlier. Thanks for caring.

Oh. Congratulations.

We'd offer to give you a ride,

but it looks like you're

waiting on Daddy.

[GIRLS GIGGLING]

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

[MARVYN] Yeah! See?

Good, good, good, good.

Way to finish strong.

Good practice, girls.

- Hey, we're done. Go.

- [CELL PHONE CHIMING]

[HOLLY] Good practice,

girls. Nice hustle.

- Nice job.

- [MARVYN MOUTHING WORDS]

[DESTINY] Coach.

- Forgot to tell you.

- Yep.

- We met Emma today.

- Uh-huh?

She's pretty cool. Better than you.

Yeah, I get that a lot.

How is she?

I mean, did she say anything about me,

or did she say if she's

liking it here or not?

- I mean

- You really are clueless, aren't you?

- Do you wanna go to the court?

- Yeah, that sounds fun.

Okay. Let's go.

Hey! We just finished practice.

What are you up to?

I guess me and my dad are

heading back to the hotel,

get some dinner.

That sounds lit.

- [GIRLS LAUGH]

- But we were gonna go hang out.

You wanna come?

I'd love to. Um

But my dad and I kinda

had a thing earlier, so

Right, he got his a*s kicked

by the soft serve machine.

[GIRLS LAUGH]

Okay, well, text me if

you change your mind.

Okay.

I don't know, I She just

seems sort of angry with me.

You know, maybe her coming

out here was a bad idea.

No, I mean, I It's great

that she's here, but

I-I-It's probably just

a teenage thing, right?

I mean, it's It's nothing I'm doing.

It probably is something you're doing.

Okay, I just mean

I don't know exactly

what she's thinking,

but if my dad was still around,

I would just want to

spend time with him.

You know what I mean? It wouldn't

have to be anything special.

He worked a lot, so, you know,

when I did get to see him,

it was, like, a big deal.

- And

- Yeah.

And we would just have,

like, fun together, you know?

[SNIFFLES] Um, and then one day,

he was just, like, gone, so

[SNIFFLING] Wow, sorry.

No, I didn't mean to upset you.

- No, it's okay. It's all good.

- [MARVYN SIGHS]

Then he was a good coach?

[DESTINY] He was the

best you've ever seen.

[MARVYN] Better than me?

[DESTINY SNIFFS DEEPLY] To

be determined. [CHUCKLES]

[MARVYN] What kind of player was he?

Hey! Hold up. I can go.

- I've changed my mind.

- Great to hear!

You're the only one

who can speak to what

it's like to be Marvyn Korn's daughter.

Right.

So, when are you avail?

Now works for me. Got

my camera right here.

Harper, leave her alone.

Emma, come on.

I gotta go. But you know what?

I'm actually down. I do have

some things to say about him.

Super!

Yes!

[CELL PHONE CHIMES]

[MOUTHING WORDS]

[SIGHS]

[GIRLS LAUGHING]

Okay. Least favorite moment,

most favorite moment.

Don't think about it. First

thing that comes to mind.

Okay, least favorite? Grint, obviously.

Obviously.

Oh! That would be a good

Boomerang. Do it again.

- [GIRLS LAUGH]

- Perfect. As you were.

[DESTINY] Wait, do

your Grint face again.

- [GIRLS LAUGH]

- [SAMANTHA] She's not always that bad.

Good, 'cause that wasn't fun.

You do know you can turn

your notifications off, right?

Aware.

So back to most favorite moment.

Well, I would say this one, but

- Oh, my gosh. She met a guy.

- What?

- [GIRLS LAUGH]

- I don't know. He was nice.

- She means "hot". Go on.

- [GIRLS LAUGH]

Okay, yes, hot. And he

had the thing with his abs.

- The V!

- Oh, my God!

- She saw him shirtless!

- Wait a minute.

Okay, w-w-wait. Skater or surfer?

- Surfer.

- Dumb or mean?

Why are those my only two options?

He was more funny.

Huh. So he's crazy.

That's okay. Um, hair?

- Damp?

- [GIRLS] Ooh.

I'm in. When you guys

- I know. That's why it's a joke, Dad.

- [MARVYN] But that's not funny.

- It's like a play on

You don't have to think that it's funny.

Well, yeah, I do. If a

joke's not funny, it's like

[EMMA LAUGHS] Okay, you

tell me one, because that's

- Okay.

- Yeah.

- Know what you used to call these?

- What?

You used to call 'em,

"Peana-budder and joey sammiches".

I did not. Stop it.

You said, "Daddy, could I have another

peana-budder and joey sammich?"

- No.

- Yeah.

You remember what you used to call that?

- The

- "The Specific Ocean".

- That's right.

- I mamember.

See?

Yeah.

[SIGHS]

Here's what I wanted to tell him.

My father.

I wanted to say that

[STAMMERS] That I forgive you.

But I couldn't. I just stood

there in front of the casket.

His dad was a terrible guy.

My dad was a little better.

I like to think that he tried his best.

I think we're all sort of echoes

of the people that raised us,

and each time, hopefully,

we get a little better.

And better and better and better.

The thing that hurts

me the most is that

he died thinking I was an embarrassment.

That's what he used to

call me, an embarrassment.

So I don't When I go, I don't

want you to think of me like that.

I want you to be proud of me.

[SIGHS] 'Cause I'm I'm not

perfect, but I I'm trying.

I swear I'm trying.

Anyway, that's what I

wanted to say to him.

I wanted to say that I forgive

you, but I I just couldn't.

You just did.
