01x05 - This Is Our House

[bunniefuu]

[OLIVE] Previously on Big Shot

Why did Marvyn Korn throw it all away

by throwing that chair?

This video might be the best thing

to happen to Coach.

[KATRINA] Can't forget the most

important part. Your collab fee.

[MOUSE] "Sweatshop

labor? No, thank you".

Hana Kea Swimwear asked me to

model their gear in my videos.

#CancelHanaKea.

Who the hell is Katrina from

Hana Kea Swimwear?

At the end of the semester,

you're transferring.

I haven't been honest with you

guys. My life is not all perfect.

We wanna offer Olive a full ride.

Miss Goodwyn! Meet Emma Korn.

She'll be joining the play.

- She will?

- [EMMA] I will?

- [MARVYN] Boys. Why are they here?

- [EMMA] They're in the play.

Well, I I guess you hated my cooking.

It was disgusting.

Thanks for poisoning me.

You're welcome.

Hey, you wanna know what

I like least about you?

- What girl wouldn't?

- Right?

[CHUCKLES] Well, first,

your personality. The worst.

Serial k*ller bad, I know.

Second, your sense of humor.

Literally nonexistent.

I don't get it.

Okay, wanna know what

I like least about you?

Yeah, we don't have time for that.

[LAUGHS]

So, what do you wanna do?

I I mean, I don't know.

What do you wanna do?

[THUDS]

- Is that your

- My dad!

Okay, I'm gonna

What are you doing?

Wait, what are you doing?

[STAMMERS] I'm hiding.

[WHISPERS] Why? That

makes you look guilt

Hi, Dad.

Hey, sweetie.

I thought you weren't

coming home till later.

[THUDS]

What's going on here?

[THUDS]

Is someone in that closet?

A boy.

I'm only telling you this

'cause I wanna be

completely honest with you.

Boy.

Sir, um, it was my idea to

hide in the closet, so

Shut up. Who are you?

I'm Lucas Gruzinsky, sir.

Gruzinsky? Louise's brother?

Yeah, we're in the play together.

- I I promise, nothing happened, sir.

- Get out.

- [DOOR OPENS, CLOSES]

- [STAMMERS, SIGHS, GROANS]

- Dad?

- I need a minute, please.

I know I shouldn't have had a boy over

- without telling you, but I am 16.

- Only 16!

- I'm old enough to be dating.

- No, you're not!

Mom said it's healthy.

We had a long talk.

She said it's normal for girls

my age to be physically

- [GROANS] I don't wanna hear that!

- But I Dad

I'm not married to your mom

anymore, but if I were,

I'd divorce her for whatever

you were just gonna say.

You're right. You're not married.

So maybe you should stay

out of my dating life

- and start thinking about your own.

- No.

Don't deflect with me, okay?

I know that trick. I invented it.

You know, Mom's dating.

Good. It's been three years.

- She should

- Four.

Good.

Is it that orthodontist?

I'm not going to discuss

her personal life,

and I'm not gonna

discuss mine. Good night.

So I just wanted to say thank you

for your responses to my last post.

Sharing my truth with you guys was hard.

But all the love made me feel

a thousand times better.

And I so needed that.

Okay, uh, what else? Um

My team's doing pretty well.

La Jolla Preps said some nice

things about us, which is cool.

But we're still out here grinding.

I'll keep you posted.

Did you just say La Jolla Preps Weekly

said some nice things about us?

They did.

What they said was, and I quote,

"The Westbrook Sirens

made it four in a row,

continuing their impressive hot streak.

If they keep this up,

they could find themselves the top

seed in the Division III playoffs".

Yeah, those are some nice things.

No, it's a ton of nice things.

You should be excited.

I am. I'm just trying to keep it real.

This is real. It's a quote.

Hey, let's show Coach the article.

Yeah, at least she'll appreciate it.

Why is Hot Teacher in her car?

Is this actually happening right now?

[DESTINY] Looks like it.

You guys, they can

see you. Stop staring.

I don't think I like "Authentic Olive".

Can we have the fun one back?

[DESTINY] Okay, maybe Holly and

Hot Teacher are just friends.

Please. Look at him.

Yeah, but he's like a hundred

years younger than her.

Maybe they're just friends.

Welcome to the conversation, Mouse.

Just because he's super

hot, and she's Oh!

They're hugging now.

And confirmed. So, are we shipping this?

I mean, I think I am.

They're kinda cute together.

I wonder if they made it to fourth base.

You mean home?

[RHYTHMIC CLAPPING]

[CROWD CHEERS]

- [BUZZER SOUNDS]

- [SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

Did you guys study for

Coach Barrett's test?

I did. I studied for

seven and a half hours.

You mean we studied for

seven and a half hours.

But it only felt like

three and a half with you.

I'll save you a seat.

You and your girlfriend

are stressing me out.

She's not my girlfriend. And

you don't know what stress is.

The colonels will lose their mind

if I don't get into West Point.

"The colonels"?

They're your mom and dad,

not your commanding officers.

Well, I wasn't able to study at all.

My parents were screaming

at each other all night.

I didn't get any sleep.

That's messed up. What

were they arguing about?

Who knows? I can't keep track anymore.

It's been going on for weeks.

[SIGHS] I have to pass this.

You're gonna fail.

[WHISPERING] I hate her.

Look, you got this. You k*ll it in Bio.

Yeah, when I study. I'm going

to fail this, and I cannot fail.

Okay, okay, calm down.

Don't worry. I have your back.

[SCHOOL BELL RINGS]

[SHUTTER CLICKS]

[CELL PHONE BEEPS]

[CELL PHONE BUZZES]

[SCRIBBLING]

- Miss Barrett?

- I'm kinda busy, Kelsey.

You're just sitting there.

What is it, Kelsey?

Olive and Louise cheated on the test.

That's a very serious accusation.

Well, if you don't believe me,

then compare their tests.

I'm betting they're identical.

Have you considered getting a pet?

Sometimes taking care of something

can bring about feelings of love and

I cannot tell you how aggravating

this damn thing is!

If I have to spend one

hour a week with you,

I don't wanna spend one second more.

Well, it's not exactly a Thai hot

stone massage for me either.

- A what?

- This kinda thing.

- This is why people don't like you.

- Oh, yeah?

You do everything you can to

avoid an actual connection.

Then I'll just take it

and go. Problem solved.

You see, exactly like I was just

saying. You're running away.

I'm not running I'm just

trying to get away from you.

From an actual connection.

- I connect with a lot of people.

- Name five.

- Easy. Emma.

- Daughter.

- My team.

- Job.

- Caren.

- Ex-wife.

- Agent.

- Who you pay.

- That's five.

- No, that's sad.

And it's only four.

Do you know who wasn't on that list?

Someone you're intimate with.

Oh, listen, I'll sit here

once a week with you,

I'll do

But I'm not talking about

intimacy with you.

This is my life, and I'll do

whatever I want with it, okay?

Is that intimate enough for you?

Don't you find it odd

that a highly successful,

arguably handsome man like yourself

has completely shut himself

off from the love of another?

Do you need to see proof, or

are you both gonna admit it?

We need to see the proof, Coach.

Ms. Barrett. I'm not Coach now.

They're exactly the same.

Look, we studied together,

so it makes perfect sense

Okay, it was my fault, Ms. Barrett.

Olive. Louise just admitted it.

I know. [SIGHS]

Look, I didn't study for the test,

and Olive was just helping me out, okay?

Please don't punish

her. I'm really sorry.

Yeah, you're really, really

sorry that you got caught.

I don't wanna hear your excuses.

There is no excuse for cheating.

And you are both gonna receive

the same punishment.

Here's what's gonna happen.

You are both gonna

get zeros on the test,

and you are both going to have lunch

and after-school detention for one week.

- But what about the

- With the game being the only exception.

And if you're lucky, Ms. Thomas

won't have anything else to add.

- You're gonna tell Ms. Thomas?

- [HOLLY] Yeah.

If she calls my parents,

they'll pull me out of

Westbrook for real this time.

Well, then maybe you should've

thought of that before.

I wanted to tell you right away

so no one would accuse me of

favoritism towards my players.

I think this punishment

is far too light.

We've suspended, even expelled,

students for cheating at Westbrook.

Olive and Louise are both A students.

I feel this is the appropriate

amount of punishment.

May I remind you this school

has a zero-tolerance policy,

even for first-time offenders?

Hmm, simmer down, warden.

I'll take it from here. Thank you.

You're very welcome.

No, that's code for you to go.

He's not wrong.

Oh, come on, Sherilyn. I've

done plenty of dumb things.

I've seen you do plenty of dumb things.

First rule of Taco Tuesdays is

we don't talk about Taco Tuesdays.

- Okay.

- All right.

- Now if this happens again, I

- It won't.

You have my word.

I hope so. Do you think this

is due to Korn's influence?

Sherilyn, I am your teacher.

I am your Taco Tuesday buddy.

I'm not your spy.

I'm willing to bet

a pitcher of passion fruit

margaritas will loosen that tongue.

And then I would tell you

the exact same thing.

Coach Korn has been great.

Are you sure you're not just

getting lost in those eyes?

I'm not that shallow.

La Jolla Preps says we're

a lock to go to Division II.

No, they said we're

looking pretty good to go.

Same diff.

[MARVYN] Listen up!

I hear you're feeling pretty

good about yourselves,

about an article that only you read.

La Jolla Preps Weekly, Coach.

They said we're on a hot streak.

Oh, good, that's great.

Now forget you ever read it.

It's all noise. Tune it out. We have

a job to do. Let's go. Warm up!

They called you brilliant.

They did?

All right, come on. Frankensteins.

You better not be serious

about this detention thing.

- They cheated on a test.

- They should be punished. Send them to me.

I'll run 'em so hard

their feet'll bleed,

but we're not missing a practice.

You should be thanking me

that they're only missing

a few practices.

Thanking you? Okay, good,

when they lose tomorrow, I'll thank you.

They could have been kicked

off the team for this!

I made a decision! The right one!

Oh, really? As a teacher or as a coach?

Both. Frankly, you could

learn a lot from teaching.

What, how to split my focus?

That's one of the reasons why

you don't have a team of your own.

Fine. Then I'll leave you

to focus on your team!

What's with Holly?

- She probably needs to get her some Felix.

- [BOTH GIGGLE]

Girls, if you can talk, you're

not working hard enough.

Suicides! Baseline.

Let's go! Go, go, go!

No! My queen.

[SOBBING]

- The queen is dead!

- [GOODWYN] Scene.

Scene!

What are you doing?

I thought my character should be

overwhelmed at the horrific discovery

- of her queen lying on

- Your character?

I'm sorry, did you say your character?

It's It's my character.

Well, yours and Mr. Shakespeare's.

Exactly! Goodwyn, Shakespeare,

but not Schapira!

Here, the playwright's text is sacred.

I just thought once you changed

the title to Beth Macbeth,

everything was up for grabs.

It is not!

Get over here.

[HARPER AND GOODWYN BICKERING]

So, um, what did your

dad say after I left?

Oh, just how much he likes you.

He was pissed. How was

the rest of your night?

My parents got into this huge

fight. It was this whole thing.

Sounds awful. Are you okay?

[GOODWYN] I'm sorry.

Is my little rehearsal

disturbing your conversation?

Sorry, Mrs. Goodwyn.

Miss Goodwyn,

and thanks so much for

pointing out my single status.

Proudly single.

Now, if you're done conversing,

perhaps you'd like to spend a

little time memorizing your lines.

Already have. "Halt, who goes there?"

Think I nailed it.

Ooh.

Are you being fresh with me?

I very much doubt your father

would tolerate this attitude

from the girls on his team.

I bet one strong stare from

those periwinkle eyes of his

would render them speechless.

Back to one!

Did she just

Say your dad has strong,

periwinkle eyes? Yes.

- Do you think that means

- Yes.

[CHUCKLES]

Come in if it's quick.

Aren't you supposed to be in detention?

I just finished.

I wanted to apologize for, you know

Especially after you gave

me that scholarship.

[SHERILYN] Mmm.

So, anyway I'm sorry.

[SHERILYN] Miss Cooper

are you, uh, planning to

play basketball for a living?

What? No. [LAUGHS]

I mean, I like it, but I don't

think I'm that good at it.

- I agree.

- Oh.

So what are your plans?

For?

Life. College.

How is Olive Cooper, who is

not that good at basketball,

going to set herself apart?

What are you good at?

I guess I was good at social media.

Mm-mmm. You still are.

I saw your latest post.

I like this new you. I'd

like to see more of her.

Thanks.

But I'm not sure she's that interesting.

Mostly, we're focused on getting to DII.

Well, there you go. I bet

there are a lot of people

that would love to see that

journey from your point of view.

You want me to post about it?

I don't think a one-minute

post is gon' get it done.

It's just I've never done

anything longer.

Well, why not start now? "The

Road to DII" by Olive Cooper.

Now that's a girl I'd like to meet,

and I bet a lot of colleges would too.

Yeah. You might be right.

Do I smell another day of detention?

No! You're right.

That's what I thought.

You know,

it's a lot more fun being in this

office when you're not in trouble.

Thanks, Ms. Thomas.

Make me proud, Ms. Cooper.

- [SIREN WAILS]

- [POLICE RADIO CHATTER]

What're you That's mine.

You can't take that.

What is going on? Where's Dad?

They're taking everything.

They can't do that. This is our house.

They're not taking everything,

and this is just a temporary

freeze on our bank accounts.

What? Why?

They're charging your father

with embezzlement,

but we've We're taking care of it.

There's nothing for

you guys to worry about.

Yeah, 'cause everything is clearly fine.

That's crazy. Dad would

never do something like that.

You sure about that?

Hey, listen to me.

You can't tell this to anyone.

Okay? This is a family matter.

Cops are carrying half our

house out the front door

It's going to get out.

Then the lawyers will handle

it, but for now, not a word.

Promise me.

- Is it for real?

- I think so.

Hey about yesterday, I

You know, the night before, I'd had

a terrible night, and Emma and

There was this kid in the closet.

And I may have been a little

Know what I mean?

Is there an apology in there somewhere?

- Yes.

- Okay.

You're wrong, you know. You can be both.

Be a teacher and a coach.

- [MARVYN CLEARS THROAT]

- [GOODWYN] Hmm.

Coach Korn.

I don't believe we've formally

met. Margaret Goodwyn.

Nice to meet you, Mrs. Goodwyn.

Miss Goodwyn.

Proudly single. Bare as

a baby's bottom. [LAUGHS]

- Miss Goodwyn.

- Maggie!

Please, my friends call me Maggie.

You know, we share something

in common. Your daughter.

Oh, you're the play lady.

Yeah. Well, we in the biz

refer to it as theater.

I know, fancy. [LAUGHS]

How's she doin'?

She has enormous potential. Glorious!

If only she would focus more on

my and Mr. Shakespeare's words

and less on that Lucas boy.

Ooh, that face.

Come not between the

dragon and his wrath.

[LAUGHS]

Anyway, I gave them a pretty

tough talking-to yesterday.

- I hope you're not cross with me.

- No, no, no.

Any good organization needs

focus, it needs discipline, and

That's exactly what I told them.

I said that if any of the girls

on your team tried any monkey business,

they would find themselves

on the wrong end

of those strong, periwinkle eyes.

- That's right Huh?

- You know what?

You and I are two peas

in a proverbial pod.

I would love to pick your brain

over a couple of dirty martinis

and hear all about those

coaching tactics of yours.

Uh, maybe someday after work.

- Sure, yeah. Maybe.

- How 'bout tonight?

Yeah! Tonight it is.

It'll be fun. Angelini's, seven o'clock.

Uh, I'll make reservations.

See ya then, Coach Korn. [CLICKS TONGUE]

Obviously, I had to tell Ms. Barrett

that Louise and Olive

were cheating on the test.

But why did they only get detention?

They should be expelled.

Because the basketball team

gets away with everything.

I mean, look at them.

They're probably all in on it.

Do you think anyone else knows?

I mean, they're not keeping it a secret.

I mean, they literally

drove up together.

They were hanging all over each other.

Are you sure about this?

Look at 'em. Those two

are definitely hooking up.

We obviously can't

tell anyone, you know.

Wait, who else knows about this?

No one as far as I know, and

you didn't hear it from me.

- Marvyn and Margaret?

- Mm-hmm.

She's a lot though, isn't she?

- He's a lot.

- Yeah, but

I don't know. I just find it hard

to imagine them on a date.

- It's not a date.

- Everyone's saying it is.

Well, then everyone's wrong.

We're just going out for drinks.

Really? Who else is gonna be there?

I don't know.

Yeah, you do. Just the two of you.

It's a date, Dad.

No, it's not, daughter.

Holly and I go out all

the time. We're not dating.

Obviously, because

she's dating Mr. Felix.

Hmm?

You haven't heard? Destiny told

me they saw them making out.

Well, okay, good. Good for her.

Felix? The kid with the

earrings? He's a child.

[SCOFFS] Not touching that.

Look, like it or not, and I don't,

Miss Goodwyn has a crush on

you and your periwinkle eyes,

which was super fun for me to

hear about during play rehearsal.

- It's a date.

- I don't wanna talk about this anymore.

Game in a half hour, and

I'm gonna be home late.

Yeah, from your date.

[MARVYN CLAPS] Destiny,

get right under it.

[DISTORTED AUDIO, ECHOING]

[LILLIAN] They're charging

your father with embezzlement.

You can't tell anybody about

this. This is a family matter.

[LOUISE] Dad would never

do something like that.

[DESTINY] Hey. Hey.

I I bet he just couldn't

- [NORMAL AUDIO]

- Sorry, what?

Your dad's probably

just stuck in traffic.

My aunt's supposed to be coming

from LA, and she's not here either.

- So I'm sure the 5 is just jammed up.

- [MARVYN] Gruzinsky!

- Yeah?

- [MARVYN] You good?

- Meaning?

- Meaning your head's in the clouds,

and you're supposed to

be warming up right now.

- I'm fine.

- Let's go. Get in there.

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

- All right. Let's go. Let's go.

- [REFEREE] Coaches!

- Ten minutes, ten minutes.

- [MARVYN] Here. Give me that.

All right, we'll collapse

on 40 down on the block.

Mouse, don't leave 14

open outside. Got it?

You got it, Coach.

What are you doing?

Chronicling our road to DII.

Well, these team meetings are private.

Put that thing away. Put it away!

You're gonna want that footage when

we run this winning streak to five.

La Jolla Preps Weekly will

have something to say about it.

I want you to listen to me, okay?

This could go both ways.

I don't want you to let the

cheers go to your brain

or the boos go to your heart.

You got it? Just put all that stuff out.

This is our house.

Nobody waltzes in here and

pushes us around in our house.

[DISTORTED AUDIO, ECHOING]

This is our house.

[LUCAS] They're taking

everything. What is going on?

[MARVYN] This is our house.

[LOUISE] Hey. That's mine.

You can't take that.

- [WHISTLE BLOWS]

- [NORMAL AUDIO]

Louise, you got 40.

Get on 40 Come on!

Gruzinsky! Get your head

in the game. Come on!

[DISTORTED, ECHOING] Get

your head in the game!

[EXHALES]

- What's the matter with her?

- I don't know.

[DISTORTED, ECHOING]

[LOUISE] Those are mine!

[LUCAS] They're taking everything.

- [MARVYN] Put all that stuff out.

- [LOUISE] This is so unfair.

I don't understand why

this is happening to me.

- This is our house.

- [CHEERS]

[MARVYN] This is our house.

Nobody waltzes in here and

pushes us around in our house.

- [WHISTLE BLOWS]

- [REFEREE] Foul! Four-zero, two shots.

[HEARTBEAT THUMPING]

- [WHISTLE BLOWS]

- [NORMAL AUDIO] What the

- [PLAYER 40] Are you crazy!

- [MOUSE] Let it go!

- Do you know what I could do to you?

- What? What!

- [MOUSE] What are you doing?

- [REFEREE] Flagrant foul!

- Number 23, you're ejected.

- Come on! Seriously?

- Gruzinsky.

- [REFEREE] Please get your player, Coach.

Get your player.

[MARVYN] Gruzinsky!

- What the hell's the matter with her?

- I got it. I got this.

Hey! What got into you out there?

Me? Forty was all over me.

Thanks for having my back.

[SCOFFS] Are you kidding? I've

done nothing but have your back.

You could have been expelled

for cheating on that test.

I protected you.

By telling Sherilyn?

That's part of my job.

Well, you covered your bases. So

stop pretending to be my friend.

I went out on a limb for you.

- Well, thank God for St. Holly!

- Hey, I get it.

You're going through something.

Well, guess what, so is everybody.

That's called life, and to be honest,

you have a pretty damn good one.

So, whatever this is, get

the hell over it. Look at me!

Nothing gives you the right

to treat people who protect you

and care about you this way.

Okay, you think I don't protect you?

I'm going to protect you

right now, by walking away!

Hey.

You better not ask me if I'm okay.

Fine. I'm your ride home, remember?

[SIGHS] Right.

Yeah.

But I don't wanna go home.

[LOUISE] I wanna tell you.

I just I can't talk about it.

Okay.

No, my mom would k*ll me.

I had to swear to her

I'd keep my mouth shut.

No worries. I get it.

My dad was arrested.

It's about money stuff,

and it's serious,

and I don't know what's going to happen.

[SIGHS] I can't believe

I just said that out loud.

I can't even imagine.

I'm so sorry.

You can't tell anybody, okay?

I don't know what I would do

if people found out.

It'd be a nightmare.

Who cares what other people think?

I care.

Dylan, my family is

Everyone knows us. Hell, our

name is on the school gym.

But you're not your family

That's not what I'm saying.

[SIGHS]

Everyone would love

to see us humiliated.

Not me. I'd still be here for you.

You just You've no idea

what you're signing up for.

I've been your backup

date to every dance.

I signed up for this a long time ago.

Forty probably deserved it.

[BUZZER SOUNDS]

[MARVYN] Better luck next time, Coach.

Well, we squeaked that one out, huh?

[HOLLY] Eh. Five in

a row is five in a row.

Yeah, but it wouldn't have

been such a nail-biter

- if Gruzinsky would've kept her cool.

- Yeah.

What is the matter with her?

I don't know. She is definitely

going through something.

When is she not?

[SIGHS] I gave her some space.

She needed to cool down. So did I.

Well, why don't you go have a

drink with your new boyfriend?

What?

Yeah, I I heard that

you and Felix were a thing.

Who did you hear that from?

I don't know, everybody.

I mean, Destiny told someone,

that someone told Emma,

then Emma told me. Relax.

I'm not gonna tell anybody.

Well, I mean, not that it's any

of your business or the girls',

but Felix and I are not a thing.

Cool.

I mean, not like you and Goodwyn.

Me an What do you mean?

I I don't know.

I never thought of you as

the theatergoing type, but

- I'm not.

- Then what are you going

to talk about on your date tonight?

It's not a date.

That's not what I heard.

[ROMANTIC JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

[MAGGIE] Next production

is gonna be Jersey Girls.

[MARVYN] Well, how Wow, that's

Never would've guessed it.

- [MAGGIE] Can you imagine?

- No.

You know, and not to brag, but,

um, the Westbrook Gazette called

my Josephine and the Amazing

Technicolor Dreamcoat a revelation.

- The school paper?

- Mmm, yeah.

And that snarky little sophomore,

Veronica, she can be brutal, so

- [MARVYN CHUCKLES]

- I got off lucky. [LAUGHS]

But I've been babbling

about myself way too long.

Tell me Tell me about you.

Well, I You know,

there's not much to tell.

I've, uh, been a basketball

coach now for 20 years

No, no. Not the coach, the man.

I'm not interested in your text.

Thrill me with your subtext.

I don't have a lot of that. Um

I'm more of, like, a what you see

is what you get kind of person.

Oh, poo!

I bet with a little digging,

I could find an ocean of

emotional undercurrents in you.

- [MARVYN] What are you doing?

- I'm just having a little look-see.

- [GASPS] Oh, no.

- Sorry. What?

It's Well, right here, look.

Um

- This line indicates that

- Uh-huh.

you're capable of having fun.

Well, let's keep it

our little secret then.

[LAUGHS] Okay.

Mmm.

- We should order, right?

- Mmm.

All right. Let's see.

You know what you want?

I certainly do.

Gino!

[SPEAKS ITALIAN]

[SPEAKING ITALIAN]

[SPEAKS ITALIAN]

- [MARVYN] Gino.

- [MAGGIE] All done.

You ordered for me?

Sì.

You like to take control, don't you?

You like that I do, don't ya?

This is a date, isn't it?

Of course it is.

[CHUCKLES]

[UPBEAT JAZZ MUSIC PLAYING]

I got, but I wan I just

wanted to be with my dad,

Like, he loved golf, and

I'm there, and it's

There's this old woman, you

know, watching, and I get up

and I tried so hard to, you

know, to make my dad proud.

And I whack the ball so hard and it

When I hit it, it like

- What do you call that?

- You sliced it.

- You play golf?

- No.

I sliced it, and it went

[WHOOSHES] right

I mean, it missed this old

woman's temple by an inch.

- Oh, my God. That's horrible.

- You believe that?

I know. I could've k*lled her.

I mean, that's not funny,

but it's kinda funny now.

- Yeah.

- I mean, looking back.

I'm so glad you didn't.

It would've been like,

"Oh, hey, there's Marvyn Korn

the basketball coach.

Didn't he k*ll an old woman at

the golf course some years ago?"

- I'm so glad that didn't happen.

- Yeah.

Think about it. I mean, just, like,

one inch can make all the difference.

Hmm.

- Oh, you

- You know.

I didn't mean it like that.

- [LAUGHING] You're blushing.

- Well, because I didn't

Oh, my God. No.

Who would've thought the

fearsome Marvyn Korn

could be embarrassed?

- [LAUGHS]

- [MARVYN CHUCKLES]

You have a good laugh.

Well, you're a very good storyteller.

- I, uh, got it from my dad.

- Mmm.

I haven't told that

story in a long time.

You thought you had no

emotional undercurrents.

[CHUCKLES] See, this is

the guy I was talking about.

I knew he was in there somewhere.

Really?

[MAGGIE] Really.

[WHISTLING]

- Hi.

- What is that?

Leftovers, in case you're hungry.

[EMMA] Oh? So, you two had dinner?

[MARVYN] We had a bite.

Seems like more than a bite if

they put the leftovers in a swan.

It's an Italian thing.

All right, it was a date.

I knew it. And you hated it?

Maggie's not nearly as bad

as you made her out to be.

"Maggie"?

[MARVYN] Yeah.

Oh, no. You had fun, didn't you?

She's interesting.

I mean, yeah, she's a little wacky, but

she took charge, which was refreshing.

Yes, I had fun, okay? I had fun.

We had fun. Is that so terrible?

You're the one who wanted

me to go on a date.

Yes, but not with her.

The whole reason I signed up for

the play is for once not to be

just Marvyn Korn's daughter,

and now that's all

Miss Goodwyn will see.

Okay, I get it. I'm sure

sh I'll talk to Maggie

Would you stop calling her that?

It's just The play was

supposed to be my thing.

I'll tell her I can't see her again.

I'm not saying that, I just

- [MARVYN] Wha

- [EMMA GROANS]

Hey.

Hey.

How's Mom?

Uh, she's upstairs, resting.

Heard you got in a fight at the game.

Pretty sure we're only supposed

to have one criminal per family.

- [LAUGHS SARCASTICALLY]

- [CELL PHONE RINGING]

[LUCAS SCOFFS]

Don't answer it.

Dad, are you okay? Where are you?

I'm fine. I'm at my hotel.

I just had a burger actually.

Room service here is pretty good.

Dad, when are you coming back?

Soon.

Your mom and I just felt it

would be best if I stayed here

a little while longer to

really focus on my defense.

So, in other words, Mom

told you not to come home?

Lucas, shut up.

Anyhow, I didn't call

to talk about that.

How's my little girl? I'm dying

to know about the game.

The game? Really? That

That's why you called? The game?

Stop!

Um, we won, but it wasn't my

best day. I got fouled out.

That's okay. That's bound to

happen if you're playing tight D.

Look, I hate that I missed this one,

but I am gonna be at the next

one, okay? That is a promise.

Promise? Wow, that's worth a lot.

Lucas!

Louise!

Hey, it's okay. You know,

we're all a little stressed.

Yeah, because of you.

[LARRY] Listen, Louise. Hey, look at me.

I would never do anything to hurt

this family. You know that, right?

But you did, Dad.

- You did.

- Can you let him talk?

Why? So we can hear more lies?

- Hey, hey

- [LUCAS] You know what?

You can sit here and listen

to this garbage. I'm out.

[CELL PHONE BUZZING]

[LARRY] Look, this is my lawyer.

Honey, I really gotta take this,

but everything is

going to be fine, okay?

How do you know?

Don't I always take care of things?

Hmm? Don't I always take care of you?

You didn't do this, right? The

things that they say you did.

Right, Dad?

Of course not.

I gotta take this, but

I'll talk to you soon, okay?

I love you. Be good.

Why're we called into Ms. Thomas's

office? Are we in trouble?

Maybe she wants to give

us scholarships like Olive.

No, you're in trouble.

And she's ready for you.

Um, hey, Coach. What are you

So, I owe you girls a thank-you.

See. I knew it was good.

- Carol was wrong.

- If it weren't for you, I wouldn't know

that these two were having

an inappropriate relationship.

Wha How did you We were

the only ones talking about that.

Loudly, apparently. Word got

out and ran right over to me.

I just want to say that, uh, I've

really loved coaching you girls,

and I'm gonna miss you,

and I let you down.

- I mean, we both did. I'm sorry.

- [DESTINY] Wait

- Did you fire them? Both?

- I had to. It's school policy.

Can't you just let them

off with a warning?

Any relationship between two

teachers has to be reported to HR.

They failed to do so,

even after you made it clear

they were having one.

Well, we didn't know for sure.

- So you're just spreading rumors?

- They just seem close, is all.

You're right. We are close.

Felix is my godson.

My mom is Holly's best friend.

She's known me since I was in diapers.

I can tell by the look

on your panicked faces

that I don't have to say anything else.

So I'm going to keep my mouth shut,

and going forward, I

suggest you do the same.

Sorry, Coach.

Sorry, Hot Teach

Mr. Felix. Mr. Felix.

Sherilyn, you might wanna

check your electronic mail.

Something you're not gonna like.

Thank you, Carol.

Well, I think that about covers

it. You're all dismissed.

Diapers? Really?

I'm sorry. I was just trying

to get the point across.

[HOLLY] Hasn't been that long.

Oh, no.

What?

You guys, I can't believe

it. Hot Teacher is single.

If you two got married, Holly

would be your godmother-in-law.

That's skipping a lot of steps, Mouse.

Hey! How did it go with Ms. Thomas?

Turns out, Hot Teacher is

actually Holly's godson.

- She's dating her godson? Ew.

- [DESTINY] Yeah.

- [CELL PHONE CHIMES]

- Guys, something's going on.

- [CELL PHONES CHIMING]

- Not something. Everything.

Louise's dad got arrested.

- What?

- That's terrible.

Bigger they are, right?

Take a walk.

Whoa! Terrifying, Mouse. So violent.

Guys, it's everywhere.

- Did you see?

- [MARVYN] Yeah, I'm just seeing it now.

Wow. That's a lot.

[BASKETBALL BOUNCING]

It's more than a lot when it's your dad.

Nice form.

Got a sec?

Working on my foul shots.

I can see that.

Carlsbad won't know what hit 'em.

Come on. Let's talk a sec.

I'm fine, Coach. Really.

Yeah? Well, I'm not.

I just saw the news.

How long have you known?

Couple days.

It got out. Everyone knows now.

They're all gonna be talking about it.

Mm-hmm. Yes, they'll

be talking about it.

But it doesn't mean you have to

listen. It's all just noise, Louise.

This is going to ruin everything.

It's what we'll be known for.

Well, you're gonna be okay.

You have no idea.

Really?

- Sorry.

- It's okay.

- Of course.

- [SIGHS] Yeah.

How did you get through it?

I haven't.

It changes you.

I'll say that. It changes you.

Sometimes change isn't a bad thing.

The silver lining is you

find out who your friends are.

And you are surprised

at how few there are.

But I'm talking about, like

your real friends that

stand by you and protect you.

If you need anything, I'm here.

Thank you, Coach.

[LOUISE] Coach?

Hey, Louise

Um I just wanted

to tell you I'm sorry.

Oh, no. You don't have to

No, I really do.

You were looking out for me.

I did some things and said some things.

You didn't deserve to

be treated like that.

I bet you haven't eaten.

I make really good takeout.

No, no, no. I I can't impose.

Louise it's okay. Come on in.

I know, I know.

I'm the last person you

want to see right now, sir,

but would it be okay

if I talked to Emma?

Just talk.
