Undeterred, Gracie finds reserves of strength she never knew existed, and persists in changing everyone's beliefs in what she is capable of, including her own. She faces an uphill battle when she fights to give women the opportunity to play competitive soccer. But as the beautiful and strong person that she has always been but she also brings her family together in the face of their own tragedy.

I didn't mean you.

Watch this. Top corner.

Good, but not good enough.

What are you talking about?

That was right

in the upper corner.

There's no goalie.

Nobody blocking you.

There's nothing on it.

I drilled it.

It was a terrible shot.

You hit the post.

That's crap.

It was a meatball.

My grandmother could have

knocked it down...

with her handbag.

Peter. Peter, get out here.

You're playin'.

Come on. I want you

one-on-one to the goal.

You want to play soccer?

Don't go easy on me.

There's the ball. Play ball.

Wide right.

Again. Right now. Play ball.

Get around him.

Oh.

Bryan, that's enough.

Again.

You're gonna do it.

Come on. Show me.

Bryan, I said that's enough!

Get out of here!

Peter, get dry.

Get in the house.

I'm calling it, Grace.

Dad, I can do this!

- No. No, you can't.

- Yes, I can!

You can't even beat him, and

he's not on the starting team!

Yes, I can!

It's this simple.

You're not tough enough.

They're gonna cream you.

It's not gonna happen.

Grace. Grace, sweetheart.

- Stop. Stop.

- No.

- Stop it.

Daddy.

Dad, please help me.

No.

Not everything's possible.

It was for Johnny.

It's different for you

because you're a girl.

It's just a lot harder.

You know, my mom used to say

that for us girls...

life is one big sh*t sandwich,

and we all got to take a bite.

Is that what you did?

It was a series

of personal hardships...

and political defeats...

that gave him

the moral courage to stand up...

and face

these presidential races.

Hey, you know, I want

those outlines tomorrow.

I have some exams here.

Himmelman, Sanchez...

Gracie, can I see you a sec?

Your exam was totally blank.

Should I fail you?

Gracie, you're gonna have

to step up for the next one. L...

I can overlook this one.

I gotta get going.

Do you want to talk

to somebody? The nurse?

My mother is the nurse.

Gracie, like this.

#Don't leave me hanging

on the telephone #

This way, the smoke

won't burn your eyes.

Kyle's gonna be captain

next year.

He tell you?

Yeah, he told me when I told

him I'd be his girlfriend.

Kyle?

He's gonna have expectations.

I know.

I can't miss Bio again.

I can.

#I like to talk when I can

show you my affection #

So who gets the room?

Daniel, Mike.

It's mine!

No, it's mine! I'm older!

I'm smarter.

Yeah, right, dumbo.

You're dumbo, too.

You're the most dumbo.

I knew if I asked you,

you'd say no.

From Hollywood...

- inviting you to join Johnny

and his guests George Carlin...

Lola Falana,

Charles Grant, and...

Grace just got

into Kyle Rhodes' car.

What?

I said that Grace just

drove off in Kyle Rhodes' car.

I can't do it.

I can't do it

all by myself, Bryan.
