I want you to talk to each other. I want

you to pass the ball to each other.

And remember, you can't score

if you don't shoot. Ready for that?

Yeah!

Come around, come in.

Okay, hands out.

One, two, three. Go, Cyclones.

Now, see, the idea

is that we all do it together, okay?

So on three let's try it again.

One, two, three.

Go, Cyclones!

Let's get these wankers.

Lewis, you've gotta get the ball forward.

Well played. Let's go, now. Let's go.

That's it, that's it. Come on, come on.

Come on. Move up, guys.

Aaron didn't want to

leave practice.

I don't think Jason's father has spent

Okay.

He's good with the kids too.

Right?

That's the stuff, that's the stuff.

That's what I'm talking about.

High five, high five, Lewis.

So I got your toothbrush in here.

Your pajamas in here.

Make sure he takes a shower.

He can use the pool.

Oh, that's very funny.

Showers and brush his teeth it is.

All right, well, he's all yours.

Hey, have fun. Have fun, okay?

It's one night, Mom.

It's gonna be good.

Bye.

Hi, you're Lewis' Dad?

I'm Denise, Samantha's mom.

Have we met before?

Not that I remember, and I'd remember.

It's just you look very familiar to me.

Oh... I get that all the time.

Help me out. How do I know you?

Okay. Um...

Here we go, not bad

for a couple of bachelors.

What do you think? Like it?

Yeah.

I've still got work to do, but its gonna

look pretty great when it's finished.

So that's my bedroom

and not to mention,

your very own room.

Not bad, eh?

Yeah.

Good, good.

I thought you and I

could fix it up.

Maybe we could see if a little bit of

Mom's good taste has rubbed off on you.

Is this me?

Yeah. Of course that's you.

That's me, you and your mom in Italy.

We used to have a place by the lake.

Really? Did I like it?
