ALEX:

Let's see some juggling.

REAGAN:

Okay. One, two,

three, four, five, six.

I think I got this.

- [GLASS SHATTERS]

- Hey!

God, that's my

state championship trophy.

Sorry! But you-you

got another, right?

Not the point!

ALEX:

Okay, nice.

Good one.

C'mon.

I wanna see a left.

I will. Later.

If you don't

practice it here,

later will never

come when it counts.

[REAGAN GROANS]

[BOTH GRUNT]

What kind of spider

was it this time?

My coach is always telling me

to look up when I dribble.

I need better touches

with my left.

You know, I think

that was a yellow card.

On you or me?

Definitely you.

I've seen you around here

a lot lately.

I come up here to

practice sometimes too.

We just moved in.

Right over there.

Around the corner,

on Longridge.

Welcome.

[LAUGHS]

You're really

working hard.

I'm trying.

How do you stay

so motivated?

[ALEX CLEARS THROAT]

Don't do it. Remember the whole

flashlight-in-the-eyes thing.

[LAUGHS]

I dunno.

Whatever it is,

it's working.

Who do you play for?

[SCOFFS]

Nobody.

What? Get outta here.

- You're good.

- No, I...

You think so?

Yeah.

Well, who do you play for?

United Real.

Oh, wow. They're good.

I mean,

they can't be that good.

They let me on the team.

Need any more players?

Um, well,

my-my friend's cousin,

she plays

for a small club.

The Breakaways?

She was talking about

how they need one more,

'cause somebody

moved out of town.

If you're interested.

The Breakaways?

I think they're new-ish.

I mean, she said

they're not a great team.

But it's a chance

to play this season.

How not great

could they be?

[TRAIN HORN BLARING]

You here to try out?

Uh, yeah... Yeah.

Cool.

What are you waiting for?

Okay.

Who cut you?

Excuse me?

What team

didn't you make?

That's why you're

here, right?

Somebody cut you or you

didn't make another team?

It's okay.

Nobody joins

this team first.

I got cut by

the Jags.

Oh.

- Crush.

- Mm.

You know, this team,

the Breakaways,

it got its name because

it was formed when some girls

'broke away' from Crush,

right?

And by broke away,

I mean got cut.

NIGEL [WITH BRITISH ACCENT]: Jolly

good work, girls. That's it.

Back and forth,

pass the ball, tickety-boo.

Keep it going along.

Great. Right.

Oh, I'd watch out

for the glass and the...

Maybe the live electrical wires.

Don't step on those.

PENNY:

For cryin' out loud, Bug!

Your moves gotta be faster.

You keep stopping

and looking

like you're crossing

the street.

LEXI:
Haven't you ever

heard the saying:

"Slow and steady

wins the race?"

The race,

not the soccer game.

Soccer is about fast.

Like this.

Whoa!

[LAUGHING,

STIFLED]
