Bend It Like Beckham Page #3

- You should come along, have a trial.

- A trial? Think l'm good enough?

Yeah. l've watched you a couple of times,

you got on really good.

It's up to our coach,

but l know we could do with some new blood.

- Jess, that's brilliant!

- Yeah, nice one, Jess.

Do you swap shirts at the end of matches?

- And get in the bath together?

- Where's the soap?

lt does, doesn't it, lads?

Let's play football.

- l'm Jules.

- Jess.

i.

Yes!

l don't give a damn what the people say

l'm gonna do it my way,

gonna do it my way

Boom, boom, a bang bang bang

Gonna let it all out

an' do my thing

A boom, boom, boom

an' a bang bang bang

Boom, bang, boom, bang bang

Do your thing

l want two groups, three in each group.

Let's move!

ow do you know she's serious?

l haven't got time to piss around.

- She's got balls, Jo. At least watch her.

- iya.

- Where do you normally play?

- In the park.

- l mean what position?

- Oh, sorry.

l usually play all over, but up front -

on the right is best.

- Get your boots on.

- l haven't got any.

Right, join in. Start warming up.

- Where should l put this?

- Put it over here.

Jesus!

Pass it to Jules!

Brilliant!

- ow did it feel out there?

- Brilliant. Really, really great.

l've never seen an lndian girl into football.

I didn't even know

they had a girls' team here.

lt's all her fault.

l used to play for the men's club,

and she used to hang around whining

that there was no team for her to play on.

l wasn't whining!

Nah, there was nothing here for us girls.

There was, like, junior boys' stuff,

but when he busted his knee,

he set up a girls' side,

and he's been on my case ever since.

They made me start at the bottom.

You can't get much lower than her!

You're so full of it!

Nah, we get just as many trophies

as the men's side do.

So, does she pass?

- Are your folks up for it?

- Yeah, they're cool.

Suppose you'd better come back, then.

l've got to go open the bar.

Some real work!

- e likes you.

- You think so?

e asked you back, didn't he?

- ow long have you been playing?

- For ages, but just in the park.

- Nothing as serious as this.

- This, serious?

lt'll do for now.

l want to play professionally.

Wow! Can you do that?

I mean as a job, like?

Sure. Not really here,

but you can in America.

hey've got a pro league

with new stadiums and everything.

Really?

Can't believe it.

It's a proper pitch with lights,

corner flags, changing rooms...

The coach likes me.

e really knows his stuff.

Must be gutted he can't play

with his injury and all.

Jules is so lucky!

er mum and dad

must really support her

to let her go all the way

to America to play.
