Still gettin' the poems

from June as well, eh?

You'll get put away.

-I like your mustache.

-Does it show already?

I've only been growing it

two days. Thanks a lot.

It's really nice.

Makes you look very grown up.

-Thanks.

-Very, very mature.

Yeah, right. I mean, you look

at least fifteen already.

Well, I've got to scram.

I've got an important morning

this morning.

One place on the team

for the best striker.

I've organized a trial...

to see what they're like

under pressure.

Well, I'll see you later.

Are you still getting

those poems from Jean?

Oh, come on.

You know it's not right to ask

those sort of questions.

We are dealing with the emotions

of a vulnerable...

sensitive

sixteen-year-old redhead.

I may have some news for you

by lunchtime, Sonny.

I'll keep you posted.

Right. You all know

what I'm looking for--

a goal scorer.

That requires two basic skills--

ball control,

shooting accuracy...

and the ability

to read the game.

Three things--so...

this trial will allow me

to assess these two--

three basic aspects

of your skills, right?

What's the idea

of the sneakers, boy?

Have you no boots?

I'll get some

if I get on the team.

Oh, that's a dead loss, son.

Go and get changed.

We play in real boots in

this school from the word "go."

Right. Basic ball control.

Trotting with the ball

at your feet, 50 yards and back.

Two lines. Come on, go!

Both sides of the foot now.

Come on.

I want to see complete control!

Come on, faster now!

Come on!

A little bit more pace.

Anybody can walk with the ball.

Come on!

Well, what do you want, lass?

Faster now!

-What do you want, dear?

-I'm here for the trial.

Look, this is

a football trial, dear.

Maybe Mrs. Macalpine's

up to something...

with the hockey team--

I don't know--

but this here

is football for boys.

That's right.

Football trials, 11:00 a.m.

I saw the notice.

Look, I'm sorry you pegged out

wrongly, dear...

but it was boys I wanted

for the trial.

It didn't say so on the notice.

It just said "talented players."

Look, I'm sorry you pegged out

wrongly, dear.

There's been a slight

misunderstanding, obviously...

but there's nothing

I can do about it now.

-Come on!

-It didn't say "boys only."

You're not allowed to, anyway.

I want a trial.

It's not possible, dear.

Not today.

Well, we don't have

a spare ball.

Here's one.

OK, into twos now.

I want to see some penetration

work and a kick at goal.

One attacker, one defender.

It's an open goal, so let's see

who's first to score.

Right. You defend me, then.

What's going on?

She's gorgeous.

She is absolutely gorgeous.

That's Dorothy.

Do it again, same pairs.
