next week.

Think you might want to throw

the ball a bit more?

I think about a lot of things.

Listen, boys. Last thing coach needs

is us asking him a slew of questions.

Especially after how he got

those young men to play.

We got them revved up, didn't we?

So how do you plan on beating those

Easley boys Friday night?

Well, Frank, if I was to tell you

that...

...y'all wouldn't have a thing to talk

about all week.

Boy, that's a good cup tonight, Del.

Thank you.

Come on, turn it up! Turn it up!

Turn it up!

Good job! Good job!

Hey, Honeycutt.

Yeah?

See that young man over there?

What do you figure he wants?

I don't know.

Come on, Spaulding,

bring it around there!

I think maybe he's thirsty.

Well, go on.

All right. Five minutes.

Get yourself a drink.

Get on special teams.

How you doing?

Yeah, you. No, wait, wait.

It's all right.

Settle down. I ain't gonna

give you a hug.

Just got a little water here. See?

I'm dropping something off here.

Little something from Coach Jones.

Got a name, son?

You ain't gonna talk to me, are you?

All right.

Go ahead. Go on, give it a squeeze.

Set! Hut!

- Come on, now!

- Good job, Justin.

All right, bring it in!

Hi.

Glad you came by.

Thank you. What's your name?

Why don't you come on in.

I got some hamburgers coming.

Get your buggy. Come on in.

Really good burgers.

Oh, you found some music

you like. Good.

Hey, look who's here.

No ketchup, no onion.

Thank you.

- He tell you his name yet?

- He doesn't talk too much.

But he's sure taken a liking

to that radio of yours.

Radio.

Radio, huh?

You know, it's just sitting there.

You can have it as far

as I'm concerned.

Hey, you hear that...

...Radio?

Coach Honeycutt says you can take

that home with you if you like.

Hey, are you hungry?

Would you like a hambur...?

You want something to wash it

down with too? Root beer? Coke?

Coke.

- Man knows what he wants.

- Coke, it is.

Well...

...which way's home, Radio?

There's nothing wrong

with a good country station.

But I can get used to this too,

I guess.

You know, the boys call me

Coach Jones.

Coach Jones.

You can call me what you like

when you get around to it.

All right?

I hope you can come by practice

tomorrow.

The same time. All right?

See you then, okay?

Afternoon, ma'am.

I'm Harold Jones. I coach the football

team over at Hanna High.

I was just giving your boy

a ride home.

Come on in now, baby.

Look.

Hey.

- Hello.

- Yeah.

- Look.

- I see you got yourself another one.

Look.

Oh, look at that.

You get that from him?

Yeah. Coach Jones.

Look at that one.

He a nice man?

Yeah.

Good.

I think it's time you got washed up
