02x02 - My Life Without the Walter Boys

[bunniefuu]

[horse whinnies]

[emotional music playing]

[sighs]

We need to talk.

[sighs]

I know.

Why did you really come back?

New York was…

complicated.

I thought I was there to think,
and instead I spent all summer spiraling

about why and how I left.

This is the only home I have now,

and I almost lost it.

You could never do that.

I wouldn't be too sure.

There's quite a few people
who don't seem thrilled I'm back.

I am.

I missed you… a lot.

Don't.

-Don't what?
-You know what.

Everything that happened between us
has started this whole disaster.

I… I can't believe I did that to Alex.

What did he say when you told him?

I haven't.

I tried, but he didn't want to hear it,

so I'd only be telling him now
to make myself feel better.

So what do you want to do now?

If I'm ever gonna fit in here,

if I'm ever gonna be a Walter…

then nothing can happen between us.

For Alex's sake, for the whole family,

and for me.

I think I need a little space.

If that's what you want.

It's what I want.

So, this guy, Sam, he's a bronc rider.
He did this demo for us in Montana.

-It was incredible.
-Mm. Cool.

-I saw Billy Etbauer ride once.
-You did?

You want to know what I'll never forget?

The energy in that stadium that day.
It was just, you could…

And the way he was riding, like,
everybody knew that guy was gonna win.

[Katherine clears throat]

Or get hurt. Get seriously hurt.

So, uh, what do you guys think?

[George] Um…

That brush.

Okay, look. Alex,
bronc riding is ten times more dangerous

than anything you've ever done before.

I guess,
but tons of guys my age ride broncs.

I mean, all the rodeo school guys
had been doing it for years.

Well, those guys aren't my son. You are.

But, Mom, the prize money is three times
all the other events combined.

If I'm gonna be able to save up
enough money to go to college…

There's a lot of ways to make money.

But this is one I'm good at.
I could be really good at.

Okay, all it takes is one bad fall
and you don't even get to go to college.

It's not worth the risk.

Dad, you… you've seen it. You know.

Look, we're just
not comfortable with it, okay?

So, sorry, Alex. It's just no.

[Alex sighs]

Nice.

Check this out.

Yo, Cole!

-You're coaching the football team?
-Who told you that?

Isaac.

Man, this is so legit.

You can finally convince Coach
to stop calling those weak-a*s plays

and actually let me throw the ball.

You heard wrong. I'm not coaching.

Hey, uh, you know we've lost
every single game this season?

-What's that got to do with me?
-[scoffs]

I can't carry the team on my own, man.
I need your help.

I know. No one wants to take that one.

Settle down, everyone.

Okay, I have a few announcements.

Due to a pineapple allergy,

the cafeteria will be serving
barbecue chicken pizza

instead of Hawaiian.

And sadly, due to financial constraints,

the school will no longer offer
a ceramics elective.

And the Fall Formal has been canceled.

-What?
-You're kidding.

-Are you serious?
-What?

[woman] But it's not all bad news.

The school board has approved a new bus
for the football team's away games.

-[groans]
-Fantastic.

[bell rings]

The way this school idolizes
the football team is so gross.

-They're not even that good.
-No, not now anyways.

I was so looking forward to the formal.

I mean, is it really that big of a deal?
It's just a dance.

It may not be a big deal to you,
Miss Big Manhattan Private School,

but it is to us.

[Grace] Okay, look,
the Fall Formal isn't just a dance.

Everyone goes, and we'd always pick
an over-the-top theme.

It's like a Silver Falls institution.

Nathan's gonna be so bummed.

We've been talking about
coordinating suits for weeks.

He's been so excited

about the whole
dance-with-the-first-boyfriend situation.

I'll catch y'all later.

My mom and dad had
their first date at Fall Formal. [sighs]

[upbeat music playing]

Yes, Jackie?

There must be something
to get the dance back on.

I know it's disappointing, but the school
has had major funding cuts this year.

There's just no money.

I know, Nick, but I mean,
it is my mom's birthday and…

Uh, sure, yeah, no, fine.
I'll just, uh… I'll go alone.

[knock on door]

I gotta go. Yeah. Okay. Bye.

[sighs]

Come in!

Jackie! Okay, hi.

-[Jackie] Hi.
-What can I do for you today?

[Jackie] Fall Formal.

Can you persuade the principal
to have it in the gym?

I know that students
are disappointed about this,

but even having a dance
in the gym costs money.

And the school has designated funds to--

If we raise the money ourselves,
then can we have the gym?

Well, you'll need about $1,000.
You think you could raise that much?

Yes, we can.

Fall Formal is a Silver Falls tradition.
It's special.

We should get to have that.

[sighs] Okay.
I will talk to Principal Whitmore.

-Thanks.
-[Tara] You're welcome.

[sighs]

Okay, what follows a ball?

Come on, class. This is basic stuff.

What follows a ball? We've been over it.

-Yes.
-A child?

Good, Alex. Thank you.

[bell rings]

Okay, remember to get in
some driving practice this weekend.

There will be another quiz next week.

Trust me, you do not want to fail.

Watch out for the bicycles
and the ba*ls and the kids.

[Maria] Well,
I'd love to see you ride sometime.

-Yeah?
-Mm-hmm.

Well, I'll see what I can do.

[chuckles]

Hey.

Hey.

How are you feeling
about the driving quiz?

I'm not even sure if I know what a quiz
for driving a pretend car looks like.

Come on, Jackie. It's a written quiz.
You know you'll be fine.

Maybe our driving lesson
with Katherine will help?

We're still on for that, right?

Uh, sure. I gotta go.

So, uh, that was a good class.

Agreed.

Maybe we could, uh, practice
some more acting exercises together?

I'd like to, but I'm guessing
you still haven't told Cole yet?

It's not that I want to keep it a secret,
you know?

I… I just don't want to hurt him,
you know?

I get it.

Hey, sneaking around
is kind of fun, right?

[Cole] Hey, man.

Hey.

Uh, have you always been standing there?

Uh…

No. I… I'm looking for Isaac.

-What's wrong with you?
-Me? Uh…

Nothing. No, I'm just excited for, uh…

for math.

Okay. Uh…

Do you know he's been telling everyone
I'm coaching the football team?

I'm gonna k*ll him. I'm gonna k*ll him.

[upbeat music playing]

I'm all for getting the dance back on,
but what's the plan exactly?

We haven't figured that out yet.

But we're very quick thinkers.
I'm great at improv, so…

Grace, I've been in your theater class
since first grade.

That is verifiably not true.

[laughing]

Rude.

[Skylar] Okay. I'm sorry.

Okay, what are we gonna do?

Stop telling people
I'm coaching the football team.

Come on. You coached me all summer,
and look how well that turned out.

You're right.
Remind me to stop doing that.

Why not just try it? The team needs you.

Because I don't want to.

Unlike you guys,
I have a life outside of football.

Drop it. Okay?

All right.

All the time. Okay,
so what are we gonna do?

-[Skylar] Talk to Erin, Student Council?
-Yeah. Wanna do that?

-Yeah.
-[Skylar] Fine with you?

See you, man.

Hey, cool shirt.

Oh, thanks.

Yeah, it's just
this German band that I like.

Oh yeah, I spent
all summer buried in "Gilded Rage."

-You know Trash Dolls?
-I love Trash Dolls.

Stop. [chuckles]

Wow. I've been
deep diving on message boards

to find anyone
who's even heard of them, and, um…

That's probably
an embarrassing thing to admit.

No, it's hard to find people
with good taste.

For sure.

Obviously, the budget is our main issue,
so I asked Miss Jacobs,

and she said she'd speak to the principal
about using the gym.

So then all we really need
is music, snacks, and decorations.

-Which all costs money.
-Can we do a bake sale or something?

Fifty-cent brownies
aren't gonna cut it, Olivia.

What about a clothing drive?

Yeah. Uh, we have them
at the church all the time.

People donate clothes, and we sell them.

Thrift store meets pop-up shop.

Yeah. "Used dresses for sale."

[laughs]

Who's gonna want to buy used dresses?

[sighs] She's right.

It'll need to be something sexy,
like Silver Falls Couture. Or--

Or "Vintage Silver Falls." I mean,
people are obsessed with vintage.

Is a pop-up shop gonna
actually raise any money?

We could make it a whole event.

We'll have it on a Saturday
so it feels like a party.

And we'll need a venue.

What about Monte's?

I mean, it's got kind of a vintage vibe.

If you think your dad
would be open to it, Sky?

I'll talk to him. If anyone loves
a Silver Falls event, it's my dad.

Okay, then. All in favor of the pop-up.

All right. We'll give it a shot.
Let's get this dance back on.

Once I finish with the 1,000-foot view,

I'll walk through the financials
Richard sent over

and leave a few minutes
for questions at the end.

[chuckles]

Hey, it's great. It really is.

Hey, how, uh…
how are we doing with our permits?

Applications are in.
Should be just another couple of days.

Well, I'll ask, uh, Mato
to nudge Building and Safety.

There's nothing he can do.
My contact at the department--

Mato has more sway
than someone at a desk job.

I've got it.

-Look. I know you're capable, Will, but--
-But what?

Either you think I can handle this
or you don't.

Hey, you're right. You're right. Sorry.
I just, um…

[sighs]

I just want it to go well. Right?

If we can get the town
half as excited as we are,

then I think we're all set.

Don't worry. They're gonna love it.

I hope so.

[gentle music playing]

[exhales]

-Hey, Cole.
-What's up?

You okay?

Peachy.

You know Isaac is only telling people
that you're coaching

because he knows you'd be good.

Come on, Danny.

Not you too.

Okay, you don't want to coach,
don't coach.

But is it really
because you don't want to?

Yes, it's because I don't want to.

You know, I get it.

It can be hard
to be that close to something you love

but you know you can't have.

But, you know,
wouldn't it be worth trying to coach?

You know, even if it hurts.

Wouldn't it just be harder
to not have football at all?

Plus, they're 0-3,
so they… they really do need you.

Well, at least someone does.

-Cole, it's--
-[girl] Hey, Walter.

-Ready?
-Yes.

Let's go.

Thanks for the pep talk.

Hey.

Hi.

Take a look at this.

It'll be tight, but I think I found a way
to cut our dance budget.

[chuckles]

-What is it?
-So… bad news.

-Your dad said no.
-My dad said no.

Why? I thought you said
he'd be so into an event like this.

Yeah, so some of it
may have been my fault.

He asked if we could have it
on a Wednesday

since Saturday is his busiest day.

Then I said it has to be on a Saturday,
otherwise no one's going to come.

To which he said, "You want me
to keep our regular customers away

by hosting an event
that no one's gonna come to?"

Which I didn't really have a comeback for.

Skylar, I love you. You are very talented,
but you are not a very good negotiator.

[chuckles] I think you might be right.

So, what are we gonna do?

Well, you're in luck.
I happen to be an excellent negotiator.

[Skylar] Mm.

-Want to take a little field trip with me?
-Let's do it.

[man] All right, let her go! Let her go!

-[rock music playing]
-[horse neighs]

[man] You see his thighs?

He's gripping tight as he can,
from his hip to his knees.

His knees down, he's loose as a goose
so he can keep those spurs on Apollo.

Why is he lifting across his body?

Oh, it's just rider's preference.

-[horn blows]
-You stick to your right side?

I've… I've… I've never done it.

I'm not a bronc rider.

Just 'cause you never done it
doesn't mean you're not a bronc rider.

What's stopping you from getting in there
and trying it?

I don't know.

Okay. Well, we got a few broncs here
that are good for newbies.

Not ready for Apollo yet,

but whenever you want to get out there
and give it a go, come find me.

[rock music continues]

Hey, Kel.

[horn blows]

What are you doing now?

Come on.

[rock music ends]

Do you come up here a lot?

Sometimes.

Nathan and I came up here one night.

Right, that's
a too-much-information story.

Too much information about what?

-Nothing.
-Nothing.

[chuckles] Uh-huh.

[sighs]

So,

to what do I owe the pleasure?

I'm guessing it has something to do
with our phone call earlier?

Look, Mr. Summerhill, I'm not asking you
to close down your restaurant

and lose money just so that we
can have a high school dance.

-You're not?
-[Jackie] Absolutely not.

I want this to be
an equally beneficial experience for you.

And how would that work?

Guaranteed pizza sales.

The Student Council
will sell tickets to our event

that include two slices of pizza,

and the money from those ticket sales
will go straight to you,

assuming you'd be willing to fulfill
those sales on the day of the event.

Of course.

How many customers do you have
on a typical Saturday?

Well, anywhere from 50 to 75.

What if I could guarantee 75 ticket sales?

Anything on top of that, we split 50-50.

Do we have a deal?

Well, if you can guarantee 75 tickets,

we have a deal.

Thank you, Mr. Summerhill.

Yeah. Thanks, Dad.

Pleasure doing business with you.
Uh, Sky, can you hang back a sec?

I'd like to discuss which activities
you do in my office when I'm not here.

[sighs]

I'll meet you outside.

[sighs] Okay. Um…

Still waiting on Isaac?

Football practice isn't over.

[whistle blows]

-Cole.
-No more pep talks.

Please.

I wasn't going to say anything.

Okay, fine. Just tell me this.
Is there any part of you that misses it?

Yeah.

Yeah.

I… [chuckles]

I miss a lot.

I miss being in the locker room
before the game

when everything is… is about to happen.

Just being a part of that energy,
being a part of that team.

I miss it all.

You know, you can still have all of that.

It might not be the same,
but it's something.

What if I'm not good at it?

Cole, you already know you're good at it.

Okay, you helped Isaac become QB too.

Parker is the MVP of the boys' league.

And you've been drawing up
your own plays since Pop Warner.

And you know who draws up the plays?
It's not the quarterback. It's the coach.

[inhales deeply]

[rock music playing]

[horse whinnies]

Now, Eclipse here likes to buck
with his head up.

Less slack.

All right, this ain't rocket science.

So lean back, hold on tight.
Give the boys a nod when you're ready.

[whispers] Go easy on me.

[horse neighs]

[rock music fades]

Mm-hmm.

[men] Oh!

Alex!

[horse neighs]

[somber music playing]

What are you doing here?

Are you all right?

Don't tell my mom.

Okay.

-Morning.
-[Jackie] Morning.

I'm just gonna grab some coffee,
and then we can go.

It's okay.
I'm trying to find some old files.

For a school assignment?

No. I'm doing the budget
for the Fall Formal,

and I need to look at the one

I made for the last dance
I organized in New York,

but I can't find it.

Sweetie, is that not a little…

[sighs]

Are you sure you're ready
to dive into all that now?

Yeah, it's fine.

[footsteps approaching]

Hey, Mom, can you take me to Cam's?

Sorry, honey, I am taking Jackie and Alex
on their first driving lesson.

But we were gonna do
the sound editing before school.

Can't you take them tomorrow?

I can't just drop everything
because you wanna go to a friend's house.

You would if it was just Alex.

-You just can't say no to Jackie.
-[Katherine] Jordan!

-That's incredibly rude.
-It's fine.

No, it's not fine.

We're gonna talk later
about your attitude.

[sighs]

-Katherine, we can reschedule.
-No, we already had this planned.

And I'm excited.

Let's go.

[Jackie] Okay. Hands at nine and three.

Check your mirrors.
Look for surrounding cars.

Okay. Good.

[coach] Gentlemen.

Gentlemen, before we head out
into the pep rally,

I am pleased to announce
our new assistant coach,

our very own Cole Walter!

Come on!

[cheering and applause]

It's showtime, fellas.

Let's go!

-What made you change your mind?
-Wha…

Newsome here told me how badly you guys
needed some Cole Walter magic.

I knew you'd come around.

You gotta talk to Coach
to get me on that starting lineup.

You get in the starting lineup
by being a better player.

Ooh.

Get him to make us
stop running up the middle.

-Yeah, that never works.
-Guys, I can't just--

-We don't want Saturday practice.
-[Cole] Wait, he's not gonna listen to me.

Sure he will! You're the boss now, Walter.
You get to do whatever you want.

[chuckles]

Hey, boys! Boys!

[all chanting] Walter! Walter!
Walter! Walter! Walter!

Whoa, no. Guys, bring it down.
Bring it down.

All right.
All right, let's… let's get outta here.

He keeps trying to get my number,
and it's like, chill.

We dissected one frog together.
We're not married or something.

[chuckles]

-Okay, see what you think.
-Okay.

[phone ringing]

Excuse me?

You and Danny are
at the "talking on the phone" stage?

No, it's nothing.

Texting is one thing.

Calling is like going to second base…
communication-wise.

Oh my God.

Oh, that's why you have such chemistry.
Are you guys dating now or something?

No. Sh! Liv, nobody's supposed to know.

Oh.

I can see that.

I mean, he's all theater nerd,
and you're the hot cheerleader.

He does seem super nice.

No, no, I'm not embarrassed by him.

Oh.

So why is it a secret?

He hasn't told Cole yet.

Oh.

-[Erin chuckles]
-[squeals] I love this for you.

You totally deserve
someone who makes you happy.

Thanks, Liv. I kinda think so too.

[both chuckle]

Nothing's official yet,
but are you excited?

Oh my God.
I can't wait to see you in a suit.

[boy] Skylar!

-Wait up.
-Zach. Hey, you know Nathan, right?

We go way back.

-That's great.
-Is it?

I mean, it's just a thing.

I know a lot of people.
It's not good or bad.

[chuckles] I just meant
because of the newspaper.

-You're on the newspaper?
-I'm a photographer.

[Skylar] Come on, babe.

Thanks again
for putting this together, buddy.

We appreciate it.

Don't mention it.

So how are you feeling? You ready to go?

I think so. Yeah, I got a handful
of talking points and questions prepared.

I went over the numbers again
with Richard, but I can't find my notes.

Truth is, no one's gonna pay
too close attention to any of the numbers.

They love you. They love your family.

-You're gonna do great.
-Couldn't have said it better myself.

-[Katherine] Hey, Jo.
-[Jo] Hi.

You need me to bring anything
to book club?

I could pop into
that cheesecake shop next to my office.

Well… I'm all set.

I know that you have a lot going on.

Joanne, when did I ever show up
to your house empty-handed?

We'll just see you after.

-Thanks.
-Good to see you.

-[Katherine] How are you?
-I'm good, thank you.

Your boy Alex is
looking mighty strong in the ring.

Oh, well,
he's loving training over there with you.

I had no idea that he was
already saddle bronc riding.

Huh, that makes two of us.

-Oh, I better get this meeting started.
-[scoffs]

[Mato] Hello, everybody. Good afternoon.

[musical fanfare playing]

[students cheering]

[music stops]

A round of applause
for our Silver Falls Pep Band!

-[cheering]
-Whoo!

[principal] Now, before we bring
our cheerleaders out here,

I want to remind you to get your tickets
for our upcoming Silver Falls High events.

Uh, the Drama Club is selling tickets

to their new interpretation
of Troilus and Cressida.

[cheering and applause]

The boys varsity soccer team
is hosting their annual car wash.

[cheering]

And Student Council is selling pizza
for their thrift shop.

[scattered applause]

Uh, it's a vintage shop.

Excuse me. Vintage shop.

-For the dance.
-The potential dance.

And now,
your Silver Falls High cheerleaders!

I'll be back.

Hi. Would you like to buy
some pizza vouchers?

Why voucher?
I thought you guys were selling pizza.

Uh, we are.

But it's for an event
in a couple of weeks.

There's no pizza here tonight.
That's why it's a voucher.

You want us to buy pizza
two weeks in advance?

Yeah, no.

The main thing is, we hope you see
this is going to benefit not just us,

but everyone in Silver Falls.

Go on.

Yeah, go ahead, Bob.

-Yeah, uh, you mentioned trail rides?
-[Will] Yes.

Yeah, we're hoping to lead
two to three a day in the summer months.

Are those rides gonna stay
on your property?

Well, no, they'll start on the ranch

and then wind through the trails
that line the northeast ridges.

But those trails back onto
a lot of our homes, our land.

Sure, but they are public trails.

How am I supposed to trust
someone's not gonna wander off

one of your trail rides
and onto my land, into my house?

-[man] Yeah.
-[George] It's early, right?

We still have some kinks
we have to work out.

I wouldn't say that.

We are not going to do anything
unless you all are completely on board.

All right, then.

-What about traffic?
-[all] Yes.

This town has one road in
and one road out.

What are you planning to do when
that road is filled with your guests?

We're talking 20, 30 guests at a time.
There won't be traffic from 30 cars.

-What if there is?
-[crowd] Yeah.

Well, then we can look into construction.

Now you're talking about more disturbance?

No, I don't think so.

The next thing you know,

we're gonna have
chain restaurants and nightclubs.

[Will] Come on, Bob.

Hey, why don't we all
just take a breath? Okay? Um…

We're gonna revisit the plan, okay?
And we will figure something out

that works for everyone.

Okay?

Thank you all for coming.

[indistinct chatter]

Our left tackle, number 27, TJ Morris!

[cheering]

[fanfare playing]

[coach] All right, number eight,

big Bobby Bartley! Get over here!

Dyl, Jay, come here.

What's up, New Coach?

You think after Coach calls you up,

you could head over to
the Student Council table to buy tickets?

You want us to go to a vintage shop?

You don't actually have to go,

but if you guys buy tickets,
then everyone will buy tickets.

You're trying to say we're trendsetters.

All I'm saying is
buy some tickets, all right?

[coach] Dylan Newsome!

You got it, New Coach.

[cheering and applause]

Oh yeah, let's go, Coach.

-[boy] Nineteen!
-Yep. Thank you.

[coach] All right, Jay,
I see you with them big arms…

Um, so pizza? Yeah?

JJ Abrahams!

[cheering and applause]

Yeah.

So I buy the ticket? Yeah, okay, sweet.

[Grace] Uh, yeah. Um…

Thanks.

Okay then. Go in there.

-[Grace] Hi! Okay, great, thank you.
-Thanks so much.

[Grace] Hi. Perfect.

Jackie, could you…

-Yeah.
-Thank you. Sorry.

Thank you.

What happened in there?

Silver Falls isn't very good with change.

They're going to need a minute.

I'm not talking about the town.
I'm talking about you.

You completely undermined me.

What?

I had a plan, Dad,
and you steamrolled over me.

I wasn't trying to steamroll you, Will.
I was trying to help.

I didn't need your help.

Yes, you did.

Bob had some very valid concerns in there.

And this is still my land.

It might be your land,

but this is a lot less about Bob
and a lot more about you.

-Oh, Will.
-And what does that mean exactly?

[Will] You're so concerned with being
the good guy that you're making promises

we can't keep.

There is no way to please everyone.

But if you keep trying,

you're gonna run this business
into the ground before it starts.

Will.

Our family has been here for generations,

and that means something.

All right?
I have a responsibility in this town.

[scoffs]

Will.

Will!

[sighs]

He'll be okay. [clears throat]

I will talk to him.

Are you okay?

Alex started bronc riding.

-What?
-[Katherine] Mato saw him.

Am I over-parenting?

The truth?

You know how many kids
get hurt saddle bronc riding.

Okay, honey,
but if he's gonna do it anyway,

then we can either fight him on it

or we can help him do it safely.

[George sighs]

Looks like we're gonna have to figure out
how to let go a little bit,

whether we want to or not.

[emotional music playing]

[music fades]

Alex, tell me the truth.

Did you hurt your wrist bronc riding?

Mom, you… you don't understand.
It was my first time.

I don't care.
We told you no, and you did it anyway.

-Sorry.
-[Katherine] Actually, wait.

I'm glad that you're here
because I'm disappointed in both of you.

Guys, I know you have
this no-snitching rule,

but that can't apply
if somebody might get hurt.

Yes. Sorry, Katherine.

And as for you…

bronc riding is something
I'd rather you didn't do.

But…

There's a but?

Do you really think you're ready for this?

-I really do.
-Then I guess I'm not gonna stop you.

-Seriously?
-But there are rules.

I spoke to Mato.
He found a trainer, Blake Hartford,

who's willing to trade lessons
for vet services.

Because if you do this,
you need a qualified teacher

who's going to keep you safe.

-Thank you, Mom.
-Don't thank me yet.

You're still in trouble for lying, so

you're gonna be on double bathroom duty.

Totally fair.

And you're going to muck out the stalls.

For all the horses. Every day this week.

Thanks for covering for me.

For whatever it was worth.

I know you've been trying
to make things okay between us.

And they will be.

Just for now, I need some time. Okay?

Sure.

Of course.

[Cole] Why are you
carrying all the garbage?

Because I'm trying to atone.

For what?

Well, first off, I disappointed your mom.

Oh, you got the disappointed speech?

Harsh.

Well, it'll be fine. I think you might be,
like, my mom's favorite person.

Definitely not today.

What else?

I just…

I knew everything wasn't going
to be perfect right away,

but every time I make
a little headway somewhere,

it feels like I get pushed back
somewhere else.

Doesn't seem to matter how hard I try.

It just takes time, New York.

You'll get there.

So, you decided to coach?

Yeah.

[Jackie] How is it?

It kinda sucks.

[chuckles]

It just takes time, Colorado.

You'll get there.

Thank you, by the way.

I know it was you
who got Dylan and the football team

to buy tickets for the pop-up shop.

We sold almost double what we needed to.

Nope. They did that on their own.

Seriously.

Thank you.

So,

why do you care so much about this dance?

I don't remember you even
mentioning going before it got canceled,

and now you're, what, planning it?

Yeah, that's sort of the whole thing.

The last time I planned a dance
was the night my family…

-Jackie.
-[Jackie] I just…

I really need a redo

from everything that happened last year.

So,

for now, for today,

that's the dance.

Well, then I'm happy
the football team could help out.

Let me get these.

Hey, Cole.

I know I'm the one
that said I needed space,

but… this is nice.

Yeah. It is.

Um, what would you say

if we tried the whole… friends thing?

Friends.

Yeah.

You Alex?

Uh-huh.

I'm Blake.

The rodeo trainer?

I'm here to make sure you don't die.
