- Pass it over here watch this

Hey Doobie.

Sorry, ball got away from me.

- You mean like your last boyfriends.

- You now give the ball back.

- You wanna it here.

(smashing)

- Caitlin my office immediately.

If not sooner.

- You can't make me join the soccer team

just because I broke a window.

- Actually I can it's part of the school boards

that the punishment fit the crime policy.

Now, normally I ate that kind of hogwash,

but in this case, that kind of like it,

look last year we gave it 110%

and still lost a division finals you want to know why,

Because we couldn't get the ball down the field fast enough.

I'm short a player and you've got a great kick

seems perfect.

- I don't do team sports.

- You do now those are the rules learn them,

and this is your ball, sleep with it,

eat with it, play with it, give it a name.

It's about to be your best friend.

- look I'd rather have detention.

- And I'd rather be at home eating potato chips

and watching wrestling practices tomorrow, be there.

- Oh, and lose a leather jacket.

You're a part of a team now.

- Team I hate that word.

Maybe one time in my life that would have meant something,

but now it's just a reminder

of how much I really don't belong.

♪ But I don't really need him ♪

Beni stop go home, stop go home

- Hey Caitlin come on you're gonna miss the bus.

- Am not going.

- Bye mum.

- Can you have a good day.

(chuckling)

bye Honey.

(horse whinnying)

I don't believe it.

- So how are you doing, boy?

I hope you slept better than I did.

These dreams are really getting to be a real drag.

- Hey Caitlin stop.

(horse whickering)

- Whoa, whoa, whoa.

- Would you leave me alone?

- Why are you not on the school bus?

- Because it's heading to school and I'm not going there

and trust me, there's nothing you can do to make me go.

(door thuds)

(exhale)

- There are more chances to win this year.

- What coach put someone on the team

who's not serious about soccer,

just because the poor little orphan can break windows.

It doesn't mean she knows the place soccer.

- The coach wouldn't have put me on the team.

If you didn't think I could play.

- Coach thinks you can kick,

but you'll never be part of the team.

You don't even want to be part of the team.

You'll quit I guarantee you.

(upbeat music)

- Hey dad, check this out.

It's a list of great fishing holes.

I got off a www.fisherbiding.com.

I got the laminated so the waterproof.

- Come on you can't tell me you're gonna use

something spit out of the computer to help you fish.

- Hey, new day's ways old man.

I also downloaded pictures of miscatch

and release, but that's unrelated.

- Well, you know what this is?

- Your high school diploma.

- No, it's a map.

Garth's grandfather made 50 years ago

of his favorite fishing hole.

- Yeah, there's probably condos there now.

When I catch the biggest fish,

you'll see my way to the best.

- I hate to break it to you,

but the only thing you're gonna catch

with that stuff is a computer virus.

- You want to bet.

- Go on.

- Kick than that.

- Nice.

- Yes may have watch out.

(whistling)

- I passing a kicking drills

- I don't believe it.

She actually showed up.

(upbeat music)

So what do you call this soccer punk.

- Well, if you can't beat them.

We can always scare them.

(chuckling)

We'll get you a uniform later for now.

Let's get started.

(whistling)

(energetic music)

- Maybe you need a window to aim it.

- Yeah.

- Save your anger for the game.

Let's fit up divided into two yellows and blues.

- Coach, I'd rather be gold.

All right, if I switch with..

- No

- Caitlin, you play left forward, Taylor right forward.

Okay let's go.

- Wait, wait coach what exactly does a forward do?

- Forwards like a steam roller rolling.

Like two soldiers marching toward their destiny.

The two forests have only one thing on their mind

and what would that be Taylor.

- Take the ball into the net.

- I let's go out there and show him what you got.

Okay, you girls find your positions

and let's kick some ball.

(whistling)

(upbeat music)

- Hey watch it.

- Just stay out of the way.

(upbeat music)

(whistling)

- Wait figure.

- What I scored did I,

I mean, that's what you wanted me to do.

Steam rollers, rolling soldiers marching.

- Yeah, only problem, you're off side.

- What part of pass don't you understand?

- It's not my fault they couldn't keep up with me.

- Wake up Caitlin, I told you to read the rules.

Now, when I'm telling you to do something, that means do it.

- I forgot.

(whistling)

- Bentley kick for the yellows.

(upbeat music)

(hoofbeats thumping)

- So I hear you joined the soccer team.

- If by joining you mean I was blackmailed then yes.

- I think it's a great idea.

Maybe I can help you practice.

- It doesn't matter how I play.

- Caitlin that is not the way a team works.

- I know how a team works.

Instead of being just like by one person,

I get to be disliked by an entire group.

- Okay, Okay, so Garth map was a bust.

I still think all that mumbo jumbo take

the romance had efficient.

- Mumbo jumbo you see this fishy finder.

It can locate the most elusive trout

is carpool Vision sunglasses not only do they cut down

the glare, but they allow you to see five feet under water.

Mumbo jumbo I think not.

(whooshing)

- I stand corrected.

- Watch for fish movement on the surface,

indicating fish are feeding.

- why don't you just email the fish?

Tell them where you are.

- Hilarious, stealth is your best tactic.

Sound traveled a great distance underwater.

Even though you can't see him,

do not assume he can't see you.

- Ladies got practice.

- Yeah all right.

- Hey coach, coach. so how much longer is my sentence?

Tomorrow Saturday.

You can expect me to practice on Saturday.

- Come on see you don't look like you're exactly hated it

out there.

Tell you what think it over tonight.

Then if you can look me in the eye

and tell me that you didn't enjoy it for one second,

then you can quit.

(upbeat music)

- Good practice.

I can't wait to see the look on her face.

(laughing)

there she comes

(chuckling)

watch this.

(laughing)

Hey, hey you need towel

(chuckling)

- The best you could come up with,

shaving cream.

I haven't seen that one since third grade.

- Ooh. She's foaming at the mouth.

(chuckling)

- Five minutes ago, I was gonna quit the team,

but I think I just decided not to.

(footsteps thumping)

(horse whickering)

- What?

- Sounds like you're trying to break down the wall.

I used to play in school.

- And soccer back then and electricity.

(chuckling)

Got you.

- Wait how did you do that.

- I will show you instead of trying

to lean away from the offense,

you mean into the in offense.

That way, when you're trying to take the ball,

you're already into the rhythm.

You can anticipate when you want to take the wrong.

(chuckling)

- Wait like this.

- Hey, nice deal.

(energetic music)

- Some girls are naturals.

- I know I wasn't, I had to work really hard

to stay on the team.

You're a natural.

(chuckling)

You sure you haven't played before?

- No it must be all those cans that used

to kick down city alleys.

- Did you play in the snow.

(chuckling)

- The other girls on the team, they don't think I can play.

They don't want me on the team.

- You want to be on it?

- Well, part of me really does.

another part of me is really scared to.

- Oh sure, being a new member of a team is pretty scary.

Maybe they're scared of having a stranger on the team

because they're gonna have to rely on you.

- Was that the way you felt when I came here.

- Part of me was worried about what would happen,

how you'd fit in with the family.

- I guess we're still working on that.

- Well we were a family before you came

and we're still a family only bigger and better.

(Chuckling)

And we've learned to rely on each other.

- I know like team low.

(laughing)

- Yeah, kind of like team low.

So what do you think.

You think you want to play soccer,

I'll back field to pick you up

- Yeah, okay.

- Got one give me the net.

Give me the net.

- Oh, I got a big one.

- Wait a minute.

- I thought you were fishing upstream.

- I thought you were envisioned downstream.

- I was your fly drifted.

- Just as well, I forgot the camera anyway.

- Oh, don't worry in a second will freeze to death

and everyone will know exactly

how we looked at this moment.

- Hey Caitlin good see today.

- Thanks.

- Is it me or does it smell like shaving cream around here?

Let's go Kirsten before she has another outbreak of rabies.

- Come I've given you everything you want.

I tell him everything right?

Why aren't you biting?

- Let me try your spin cast Griffin, that's what I'm using.

- I got one grip.

Give me the net.

- Am coming.

(water sloshing)

- Griffin

- That's cool.

- Griffin Stop kidding around.

- Don't worried about me, I still feel my toes just barely

that's okay just catch your fish.

- Hold on am coming.

(water sloshing)

- Did you lose him?

- Yeah, let's start a fire

and get you out of these wet clothes.

- Oh, stop that I got it caught a fish.

and may I remind you these are the most technically

best wagers on the market.

- Stop wait wait you forgot me

- Caitlin wake up, that's okay.

- I was dreaming what's going on?

You were supposed to pick me up.

You said you would pick me up and you did not.

I had to walk all the way home where were you?

- You Caitlin you remember the rule?

If either your Griffin have to wait more than 15 minutes,

you're supposed to call a taxi

or go home with another parent.

- Still you said you would pick me up.

You swore so much for team low.

- Hey, don't say that I had an emergency.

That's why we have that rule.

There was a problem with one of the mayors

at the Peterson ranch.

I didn't know it was gonna take so long.

- Is everything okay?

- Yeah.

- Well, tell me about your dream.

- Always the same, always.

It's about a school bus sometimes I'm on it

and I want to get off and this time it

left without me.

I couldn't catch it.

- And where's the school bus going?

- It's going home Without me.

- What do you think It means?

- Oh, the day my mother died, I was playing soccer.

- But you said you'd never....

You want to tell me what happened.

- Everyday after school?

My best friend and I would play one day.

We were playing soccer.

We were having so much fun.

We missed the last school bus home

and I had to walk, When I got there.

My mother was being taken away in an ambulance.

I never saw her again.

- Okay, then it's not your fault, honey

even if you would've been there,

there's nothing you could have done.

- I know, but still when you weren't there today,

I had to walk home.

- It seemed like that day all over again.

- Didn't make sense until now, but I think the reason

that I'm so scared to be on a team again,

it's that it reminds me of the last time I played

and how after that, my life was never the same again.

- I'll tell you what, you can quit soccer.

If you really want to, which you can't quit team low

I won't let you.

You can't give up on us.

We're gonna be together for a long, long time.

- I brought the disposable camera dad.

Next year I'll make the list and check the weather channel.

- Very funny Griff, but remember

it's a long walk home.

I'll say cheese.

cheese

(Shuttering)

(whistling)

(clapping)

- Come on Someday, someday come on, let have the defense

come on oh come on get it out of there.

Yes okay, this way let's go, let's go.

(upbeat music)

that is it

- Caitlin over here

- pass pass that it nice pass sh**t it sh**t

(audience cheering)

- Yes

(audience cheering)

- I always thought of the team as one single unit,

one thought one mind, one goal.

Unity was it strength

- Good pass soccer punk.

- Good goal soccer princess.

(shuttering)

Now I realized that a team's strength

is in its individuals and how they form is one.

Sometimes it can be a team of 11,

working to win the soccer match.

And sometimes it can be a team of four people

working to help each other.
