talking and eating.

Let me tell you something

Mr. Video Game.

There's nothing fun about it.

There must've like...

There must've been some satisfaction

though, right?

- What?

- Such a well-defined thing,

like, you get a target, you got a plan,

and you gotta execute the plan

and it's just a choice, me or him.

You just gotta be like...

Deep, loud.

- You're a very strange kid.

- I know.

I try not to talk too much

so nobody will notice, but

hard to conceal. You gonna eat this?

Are you gonna kill me now?

Weren't you ever scared?

Yeah, of course.

If I wasn't, I would be crazy.

What do you do, then?

You remember

that you're gonna come home.

You know, you're gonna have to

stare in the mirror and

you take a deep breath,

and you go do your thing.

I still can't believe that you

weren't curious

as to who you were killing

and why you were killing them.

I got orders.

I obey them.

I'm gonna tell you something.

They all had

that same look in their face.

What was the look?

That they knew they had it coming.

They all had that?

No, Jesus, no.

All right, now listen up.

We got just about

a little over two weeks,

and most of you know what that means.

We got a lot to learn. We...

Hi. I am Ed Wallis.

And you are interrupting

my meeting, why?

'Cause I'd

like to try out for your team.

Tryouts are over, kid.

Get out of my locker room

before I tear your windpipe out,

punch holes in it and play it like a flute.

All right, where was I?

Putting together a lot of new wrinkles

for this year, so we got a lot to learn...

I'm confused.

Somehow, I got it into my head

that this school was great

because it was a meritocracy

and that it embodied

what was best about America.

You know, that the cream rose,

and the best

stepped onto this hallowed field

to make magic happen.

But, it's not. This is kind of all

just about a bureaucracy,

and rules and timetables

and that sort of thing.

Because, in that case, I'm...

I think I'm just gonna play Ping-Pong

in North Korea

'cause I hear they value freedom there.

Thank you, guys.

Kid, what position do you play?

I'm a wide receiver.

Well, I'll be the judge of that.

On the field, 10 minutes.

- All right.

- Jesus.

Watch him, watch him.

Get him.

Nice spin move.

Low center of gravity.

- He's fast.

- Better than that. He's smart.

Come on, guys.

Valchek, looks like you got

some competition, son.

- Hey.

- Yeah.

Wipe that smile off your face.

You ain't sh*t.

Father.

Mortal sin keeps me

out of heaven, right?

Well, forgiveness is for all who seek it.

God forgives all, though.

He must have standards, though.

I guess.

What, redemption?

Right the wrong?
