Oh, you don't know that

for sure.

Yeah, I do.

And it's gonna be awful.

Charge!

Defense!

Get the ball!

Yeah!

That was fast.

Sorry about the fall, Sam.

See you at the barbecue.

Come on!

Great, great, great.

You wanna go in?

No. I'm fine.

You guys?

No, I'm cool.

I'm staying.

That's the game!

Poetry in motion, Philly!

Bring it on in.

Gather around.

Come on in. Good job.

Powerful kicking.

Powerful kicking.

Uh, excuse me. Just don't

do that with the cup.

All in all, just,

yeah, good.

Good... Good group effort.

Were you watching

the same game?

Yeah.

Really, give yourselves

a pat on the back.

Inspiring speech, Phil.

Hey, Patty.

Hey, darling. How you doing?

Looking great out there.

Yeah, you said it. Yeah.

Tough game today, eh?

We did okay.

Yeah.

All right, look. Now what

do you say I take Sam back,

be on a winning team,

he'll get a trophy,

and who cares

if he's a benchwarmer?

No.

No?

No. No, he's not

going to be a benchwarmer.

Not my son.

Not on your team.

'Cause I'm, uh,

I'm gonna coach the Tigers.

Ooh, ouch.

"Ouch. " Why "ouch"?

Nothing. Nothing.

You really think you

can coach in my league?

Yeah.

Okay.

I'll see you on the field.

Okay. Be forewarned, muchacho.

You're in the show now.

What was that all about?

I'm gonna be the new

permanent coach of the Tigers.

Really?

Yep.

Cool!

Honey, that's great.

Yeah.

Why are you so angry?

No, this... this isn't angry.

This is happy.

Yay. This could be fun.

Yep.

Okay.

Okay,

I got a lot of work to do.

Come on.

Take that for me, buddy.

Hi. Oh, hello.

We didn't get to introduce

ourselves last time. I'm Ann Hogan.

Hi.

Donna Jones.

Hi.

You can call me "Chief. "

Okay. This is my son, Sam.

Hi.

Hey, Sam.

Hi, this is Byong Sun.

Hi, Byong Sun.

Hi, Byong Sun.

Byong Sun and Sam, why don't

you guys go on ahead, okay?

Okay.

All right. Okay, good.

Yeah, Byong Sun's real shy.

This book really helped us deal with it.

Okay. You'll probably

wanna give it a glance.

"My Child is Shy. "

Yeah.

Thank you.

Good.

Thank you.

I'm sorry, I'm sorry,

who's your son?

Byong Sun.

Oh, I see.

Actually, I...

You know what, I don't see.

I'm sorry, I...

Oh, wait, now I see. Wow!

Okay.

We're at every game.

Not like a lot

of the other parents.

No, no, no, not like

the other parents at all.

Better! You're better

than the other parents.

Oh, so they're better?

No, no, I mean... I mean, they're...

Well, they're different.

What do you mean

"different"?

No, I... You're different

because you're better.

How are they better?

No, look...

You're both better different

in a different

but better way.

Okay. You know what,

let's get the rest.
