Oh, man.

Gentlemen.

Look at this.

You're late.

Doesn't your fancy car have a clock?

- Yeah, it has GPS navigation too.

- Ugh.

I had to make a pit stop.

Man, you have a nice car here.

You two brothers or cousins?

- Yeah.

- Yeah.

Okay, then.

All right, you two play attack,

you three middie...

...you three defense,

and I guess that makes you goalie.

I'm your new coach.

Watch the cutters.

Go!

That was quick.

The new suit on the sideline

hasn't made a big difference for the Sunaquot.

Come on, guys.

Who's got point?

Reed, be aggressive!

Play your position.

Yeah, no, I know.

Yeah, it's a convertible.

You've got to hit him, Chewy!

Chewy, can you hit him?

Like you're any better, pretty boy

Why don't you step up?

Uh-huh. I'll be there after this game.

Yeah, I'll sign the check.

Just stall them, all right?

Hey. Unless you're Googling halftime speeches

that don't totally suck...

...I suggest you put that down and coach.

- Stay in the game, man!

- Fine.

All right, guys, they're in a zone.

Run Z82 and work it around the wings.

Joe, they have no idea what that means.

Yeah, but it sounds good.

Jimmy! Whoo! Over here! Yo! Yo! I'm open.

Ball hog! Owen was wide open.

- Get out.

- Z82? It's not even a real play.

Sounds like a radio station.

You, you're in,

as long as you don't hog the ball too.

Good luck with that.

Hey, who's the dorky white kid?

It's Toby, Dr. Gifford's son.

- Julie has a son?

- Oh!

Yeah, and he just got crushed.

Welcome to the club, kid.

So how did your meeting

go with our opposition?

How much land

are you able to deliver, Joe?

The council approved construction

on the land here...

...where the current casino is,

up to the river here.

Great. We will break ground next week.

Actually, that's where we had to make

one concession.

We can't go until the end of May.

But that's two months.

I know. Uh, it's an ancient tribal law.

What law? I thought you were my insider.

I am. Uh... It's, uh, called

It means "No disturb land in spring."

Your people didn't farm in the spring?

No, not really.

They were more hunter-gatherer,

scavenger types.

Like bears,

with a little bit of vulture mixed in.

My clan name means Vulture Bear.

I need a start date, Joe.

N ow.

The day after Memorial Day.

You're sure? There are no other

ancient tribal traditions I need worry about?

No.

This is from last night's reading.

"Loving that Land O' Lakes Maiden,"

by an Onondaga poet, Eric Gansworth.

She is the first lesson in love for many

Indian boys, all tanned hide and feathers

Features straight out of Hollywood

But she lights the spark for those red boys

And probably for some
