Her Best Move
It's 7:
30 and the world is turnin'Everybody's gettin' ready
And the toast is burnin'
But I guess I gotta find a place to start
And go from there
Doesn't matter
'Cause I'm not headin' anywhere
Mom!
Sara, breakfast!
Early out of bed
Wanna wake up from the dreams
Inside my head
I just want a little time to find my way
Gotta get away
Gotta get away
Stuck in traffic on a backed-up freeway
Sara!
Two full minutes
for the electric toothbrush, huh?
You hear me?
Sara, you just got your braces off,
and I spent a fortune
on that new toothbrush.
So you better make those teeth sparkle.
Sara? You okay?
I don't wanna get up early out of bed
Wanna wake up from the dreams
Inside my head
I just want a little time to find my way
Come on! Get in the car!
Here.
Here. Here. Here.
Gina!
Gina!
Here.
Pass it.
Here.
Sara!
Sara!
Sub! Ref?
Jess, get in for Sara.
Take a seat.
All right. Pressure!
Pressure on the ball, Strikers!
and you'll be warming the bench.
Exactly. You were showboating
with two wide-open teammates.
It's a team game, Sara. Remember that.
I wasn't showboating. I just wanted to see
if I could beat a three v. one.
Yeah, well, now you know.
- Nice game, kiddo.
- Oh, yeah?
Coach said I was being selfish.
even when you're covered.
- You're the best player on that team.
- They're all good, Dad.
Have you seen Regina out there?
Selfish. Believe me,
none of this will matter
when you get pulled up
to the training squad
for the National Team.
There's never been anybody your age.
Mia was older than you.
And you really think I'm good enough?
Sara, how many times
do I have to tell you,
with your talent, 10 years of training.
Youngest ever.
Say hi to your mom for me.
You call me
the minute you hear the good news
about joining the development squad.
Okay?
Why don't you come inside
and say hi yourself?
I... I need to watch our game tapes.
We switched the lineup to a four-four-two.
- Hey. How did it go?
- We hammered them.
- I totally schooled a three v. one.
- Great. Did you have fun?
- You're weird, Mom.
- Yeah. My mom was weird, too.
- So, homework priorities are...
- Everything.
- But first I have to check my e-mail.
- Okay. 10 minutes.
Leave some electrons
for the rest of the world.
"...wish to thank you for attending
"the National Team player
development tryouts.
"Your skill and dedication
impressed our coaching staff so much
"that we hope to...
"We hope to invite you
to try out again next year
"for player development
with the U.S. National Team."
- Sara?
- Go away!
Sara! Hey, hey, hey. What's the matter?
- Come on, it can't be that bad.
- Yes, it is!
All right. All right.
I didn't make the cut.
Well, you know, half of me thinks that
that might not be that bad, and I...
I don't know. It's this half. It's this half.
Okay, that was dumb.
That was dumb. I'm sorry. I'm...
Honey, I'm sorry.
What do I tell Dad?
Idiots.
They make a big deal
about wanting some younger players.
I'm back.
Sara's better than those girls, Kevin.
I'm filing a protest.
I know. I know, Katie just gave me a look.
Look, you hear anything happening
with the National Team's
development squad, Kevin,
you let me know, okay?
All right. Good luck against Stanford.
Kate, I've got some extra time.
Let's double up on practices this week.
Hey, didn't see you yesterday.
How was your weekend?
- Any boys you want to tell me about?
