waiting for me to say,

"Go back to sleep"?

I haven't decided yet.

Go back to sleep.

[ Crying continues ]

Mm, baby...

Aww...

Oh...

Oh...

What's all that

crying about?

[ Crying continues ]

[ Sighs ]

I think it's my turn.

No.

It's your turn to sleep.

Shh.

Okay.

You sure?

Yeah.

Here we go.

Come on, baby.

There we are.

Good night.

Good night.

Mmm.

There we go.

Shh.

Mmm.

There we go.

Wack:
Hey, Rudy, when was

the last date you had --

what, like a year ago?

Rudy:
Not me, man.

Come on, man.

Who you kidding?

You, too, Rudy.

Don't be laughing.

All set, coach.

Give me a ball.

Owls player:
Hey, coach,

I forgot my glove.

-- Check the bag.

-- [ Sighs ]

-- 10 players, 9 gloves.

-- Yeah.

-- How do they look?

-- Couple of holes.

All right, get one.

Thanks, man.

Hey, coach...

They putting down any grass seed

in the field this year?

Man, it's a goat track

out here.

Just waiting

for the seed to take.

Uh-huh?

-- What seed?

-- [ Chuckles ]

Ain't no seed

out here, man.

Wack!

How come we get dirt,

and the football field looks

like Tiger Woods' backyard?

They don't even play

for six months.

Just let me worry

about the field, all right?

You plan on worrying

anytime soon?

-- All right, Wack.

-- [ Laughter ]

You can get your running done

early today.

All right, I'll get

my running in early.

Lookin' good.

Okay, bring it home!

[ Exhales deeply ]

Hey, coach...

you want to throw?

You know, I seen you

out there at the Old

Legion Field at night.

You know,

sometimes it helps

when you throw

if you got somebody

catching for you.

A ball, a glove --

that kind of thing.

-- I'll throw a couple.

-- Really?

All right.

How come you throw out there

all by yourself?

Helps me relax.

I've been doing it...

a pretty long time.

Coach, back when you

were really throwing,

how fast were you

bringing it?

I don't know.

Well, that's not bad.

Well, it is when

the other guy's

throwing 90.

Coach, come on.

Let's see you bring one.

Can't.

Promised too many doctors.

Come on, coach,

one is not gonna kill you.

Now, come on.

Feed me.

Yeah, Dad.

Bring the heat.

Feed me, coach.

[ Air whooshes ]

Wow!

Coach...

Where'd that come from?

Forgot how good

that sounded.

Yes!

[ Air whooshes ]

[ Chuckles ]

[ Hunter laughing ]

[ Air whooshing ]

[ Grunting ]

Unbelievable.

Coach, how fast do you

think those were coming?

-- Oh, not as fast

as you think.

-- Oh.

Hey, uh, do me a favor,

all right?

Let's just keep this

between you and me.

Okay.

Hunter:
You could barely see

that last one.

And that goes for you too,

all right?

-- No telling Mom.

-- Why?

[ Sighs ]

Because I said so.
