Well, now, we got a policy

about letting students

transfer out of classes.

Especially this late

in the six weeks.

I definitely understand,

but I'm asking you, please,

to make an exception

under the circumstances.

Please.

W-Wait a minute,

where your money at, homeboy?

I got something

better than that.

What the hell is that?

- Get out of jail free card.

- Hey, let me get one...

- Shoot the damn...

- Keep your voice down.

Shoot the dice.

All day.

Come on, dawg.

Are you gonna shoot the dice

or blow the damn dice?

- Sh*t. -Same... same stuff,

every time. -

Pass this, come on.

Mmm, mmm, mmm.

Now, come on.

Man, swing it my way.

You got love for me, PK.

- Cool, cool.

- You can have it.

Now, don't get scared now.

What you shootin' for?

I got five on it right here.

Nine, my point.

We...

Nine. I see that.

I like nine.

Get up, Derric.

My bad, Coach.

Your bad?

Your bad?

Yes, sir.

Haven't I told y'all?

You do not shoot craps

in my locker room.

For all y'all

who was shooting craps,

y'all grab the dice

and roll for your points.

Say, Coach,

I-I was just watching.

Oh, you was just watching?

Okay.

Well, I'm-a cut you a break.

For those who're just watching,

y'all roll one dice.

Uh-uh, uh-uh, Derric.

Uh-uh.

Get your ass over there,

assume the position.

Jessie, we've been watching you

practice. So, what makes you

all so good as a team,

besides your speed, of course?

I'd say our discipline, 'cause

soon as those lights come on,

only goal that we focus on

is getting it done.

- Blue 80. Blue 80.

- 20, 20.

What makes us so good? Me.

All we know is my speed...

That's 100 miles per hour.

Nah, let me stop playing.

Competition.

Everything we do,

we compete. Every time

we touch this football field,

we compete, compete, compete.

No, we don't take it easy

during practice.

I mean, Coach wants us to,

but, uh, no.

We too busy trying

to knock each other's heads off.

Don't show your coverage!

Don't show your coverage!

All right.

There he is. There he is.

Hey! Hey, now!

What if somebody gets hurt?

Hurt, somebody else step up.

That's the way it go.

And that's it.

All right, all right,

bring it in.

Bring it in.

Yo, it's game time, come on,

lit like gasoline

- Come on. - Come on, they ain't

got the right frame of mind

They ain't even got

the athletes

Does the star shine bright

on the Friday night lights...

Listen to me.

Nothing worth having...

is gonna be easy.

You just can't show up

and think, "That's it."

Ain't nothing free, fellas.

Nothing.

Now it may appear that way,

but don't be deceived.

Coach, you got anything?

Yes, sir, I do.

I'm gonna need my defense
