Summer's ending.

Best summer ever.

Yeah.

I don't want to go

back to school.

Yes, you do.

I do?

Yes.

You are gonna get

a big football scholarship

at a good school.

And then I'm gonna apply

to that school

and get an academic

scholarship.

And then we'll both be

at college,

and we'll never be apart.

Wow.

You've got it all

planned out, huh?

Yes, indeed.

-That's a good plan.

-Mm-hmm.

Right, Bailey?

What? What did you say?

- See ya.

- Bye.

Bye!

See you tomorrow.

Good boy.

I gotta go.

Where are you going?

I'm getting some beer.

All I ask is

for you to lower your voice.

-That's all I...

-Stop, stop. Just stop!

Will you please

just keep it down?

My parents are upstairs, Jim.

You need to stop.

Oh, I'm sorry.

You know, you're right.

Fine.

I will stop doing it, then.

I'll just go!

I'll just leave.

Does that sound good to you?

Come on, boy.

-Does it sound good to you?

-Well, I don't know.

You tell me. -Will that be

good for you? Will you be

happy then if I just...?

No, just tell me. Just tell me

if you'll be happy.

-Stop it. Just go!

-Oh, I'm gonna go!

Fine, I'll go.

Will you just

come back inside...

Stop it, eliz...

Shut up! Shut up!

Just come back inside.

I am trying to help you, Jim.

You're trying to help me?

You want to help me?

You're my wife, Elizabeth.

-You should support me.

-I do support you.

-Will you just come back

inside... -Hey. Hey, pal.

Hey.

You spying on me?

What?

You spying on me?

-Leave him alone, Jim.

-Come here.

-Leave him alone.

-No. You got something to say?

-I just got home.

-Come here.

-Look at how he looks at me.

-No.

-I am so sick of the way you

look at me. -It's okay, Ethan.

- It's okay.

- Just relax. Relax.

-Look at how you look at me.

-What are you doing?

-This has nothing to do

with him. -Stay out of it.

-This has nothing...

-You stay out of it!

What are you doing?

Easy. Take it easy.

Take it easy.

-You're right.

-God...

You're right.

Hey, hey, hey, hey.

--I'm gonna...

Hey!

Don't you ever touch her again!

You hear me?

You gotta go.

Mom, he's gotta go.

He can't stay here.

Mom, you okay?

- Yeah. I'm sorry.

Sure you got everything?

Just let her talk to me.

Just get in

the car, dad. I got it.

Yeah.

From that moment on,

Ethan was the leader

of our pack.

When we went home,

things were different.

Dad was gone.

That cat had been hiding

from me for a while.

And now I got it.

I found him!

- -Okay, sorry.

Geez!

Go! Red 80. Red 80.

-Let's go, Ethan!

-Down, set, hut!

- That's it.

- Over the top.

Good block.

First down, tigers.

Pass caught by wide receiver...
