What do I keep trying for?

I'll never make this cut.

Dad was right.

I'm gonna make him right

if I don't find a way

to do this.

Will I ever forgive myself

if I don't make this cut?

CO ACH:

Where the hell is Millman?

Too good to show up

for practice, now, I guess.

I don't know

how to handle these kids.

What do I say to them?

They're talking,

but their lips aren't moving.

I'm not their mother.

I'm their coach.

TREVOR:
Coach thinks

I'm worthless.

I am worthless.

I'm a worthless piece of sh*t

and Millman's always

gonna be better than me.

Am I reading their minds?

Maybe you just never really

listened to them before.

I've only got

four qualifiers left.

I've got to get new mats.

I can't stick this

double double. My line's

not straight on the bar.

I'm such a worthless

piece of sh*t.

(INDISTINCT VOICES)

You gotta be doing this.

Otherwise I'm losing my mind.

Sometimes you have to

lose your mind before

you come to your senses.

Millman!

It's about time you showed up.

Thanks for joining us.

Go home, I said.

What did you just do to me?

You have to be strong

if you're gonna do this, Dan.

What did you do?

Where I'm gonna take you,

some of the things

I'm gonna show you,

you're gonna need strength.

And you're gonna need

to trust me.

TREVOR:
So it's hot as hell,

and this penguin,

he's pushing his

broken-down car

past the 31 flavors.

So, suddenly he's practically

burying his face

in a large vanilla

when he sees

a service station.

So he goes over,

the mechanic opens up the hood

and says,

"Looks to me

like you've blown a seal."

The penguin wipes his mouth

and says, "Hey, screw you!

It's ice cream."

What's up, Tommy?

Hey, Trev.

TREVOR:
Hey, what's up with

the rabbit chow, Middleman?

All right, I got another one.

A man, a duck

and a big-breasted nun

walk into a bar, right?

So, this old guy

did this high jump.

Did this really high jump.

And?

I'm kind of doing

what he tells me

so I can find out

how he did it.

Wait a minute.

You're letting somebody else

coach you?

No.

Well, what's he doing to you?

'Cause you look like crap.

I don't know.

I don't know

what he's doing to me.

You better get away from it,

Middleman.

We got qualifiers in four

weeks and you're looking like

a worthless piece of sh*t.

Hey!

Joy, right?

Mmm-hmm.

I need to talk to you

about our mutual friend.

Socrates?

If he didn't

tell you his name,

you won't get it from me.

Yeah, why didn't he tell me?

I mean, I don't know anything

about the guy.

I'm serious.

All right? He's supposed to be

making me stronger,

making my life better.

It's just the opposite.

What's he doing?

What are you worried about?
