Alex & Me Page #3

Do you know

I grew up in...

[IN UNISON]

Diamond Bar.

Or that my first

club team was...

[IN UNISON]

Cypress Elite.

Or that my nickname

used to be

[IN UNISON]

Baby Horse.

And your college degree

was in political economy.

You have a license

to drive a motorcycle.

Favorite color is pink.

Favorite food is Mexican.

Your favorite song is "Man in

the Mirror" by Michael Jackson.

Wow. I don't even

think my mom knows all that.

[CHUCKLES]

Told ya. Number one fan.

I'm impressed.

Thank you,

hallucination.

You're welcome.

Wow.

[LAUGHS]

This feels so real.

Honey, what is wrong?

What happened?

I fell.

And I hit my head.

- And... And, uh...

- This won't end well.

What won't end well?

- Huh? What?

- No, no, not y... Not you, Mom.

Not me what?

- I'll come back at another time.

- No! Don't go.

I'm not going anywhere,

honey.

Mom,

I'm not talking to you.

Who are you talking to?

Alex Morgan.

Alex Morgan?

You-You didn't just

hear her when she talked?

- Who?

- Alex.

You're hearing voices

from your pennant?

No, not the pennant.

That's crazy.

From the poster.

I'm talking to the Alex Morgan

that's standing right there.

- Right where?

- There.

Now follow my finger.

[SIGHS]

I know it

sounds crazy, Mom.

But Alex Morgan

was standing in my room...

Now follow

this finger. Shh.

It's probably

just a temporary thing

caused by hitting

her head.

Some kids see stars.

Our daughter sees soccer stars.

But she'll be fine.

ANNE [MUFFLED]:
Did you know

she talks to her poster?

You sure this

doesn't have something

to do with

her brother?

[SCOFFS]

No, Dad.

Shocking,

but this was one thing

that was not

about Logan.

[DOOR SLAMS]

[]

Hello?

Hello?

[]

Are you just gonna

stand there and watch?

'Cause you gotta work

on your opposite foot.

You've got a great right,

but your left kinda stinks.

But...

[LAUGHS]

You're not real.

Are you?

If you believe in

a goal or a dream

before it happens,

is that real?

What are you doing here?

You said you wanted some tips.

Remember?

Are you a ghost?

Do I look like a ghost?

[SCOFFS]

You look real to me.

Then I guess I must be real.

Let's get started.

Started what?

Training.

You're gonna train me? You?

I can't have my number one

fan quit.

It would look bad.

I-I didn't make Crush.

And the other teams'

rosters are set.

The ship has sailed.

Ships don't sail at 13.

That's what I said!

I got cut from my club team

when I was your age.

I didn't quit.

Turned out okay for me.

[LAUGHS]

[GASPS]

Oh! Sorry, sorry!

I'm practicing

with Alex Morgan!

Lock your ankle

when you pass.

Like this?

Good. Again.

Okay.

[GROANS]

ALEX:
It's all right.
