you're actin' lately.

What are you talkin' about?

Are you embarrassed?

Mortified is more like it.

Why can't you just support me?

When Hillary Clinton ran for

president, Chelsea was right there.

The wind beneath her wings.

Hillary didn't run against Chelsea.

And she lost.

Beth, look.

We know you, baby.

You'll talk, talk,

talk this all over town.

And then, when you see

how hard it is...

or how not enough people

show up for the first game,

you'll lose interest and quit, like

you quit all your other hobbies.

What makes you think

not enough people will show up?

Baby. Well, you aren't exactly

leading ladies anymore.

Hey, y'all.

Hey, Mill.

Good mornin'.

When we get in there,

don't sit behind her hair.

We won't be able

to see the preacher.

Hey!

Am I too late?

Of course not.

The others must be

runnin' late too.

Hey, Ginger, thanks for comin'.

Ah. My roommate Jewel's

mammogram at the mobile unit...

may have saved her life.

I'm sorry, Ginger.

I didn't know.

Ah, it's okay.

They caught it early.

Hey. Sorry I'm late.

You got room for these

saddlebags in here?

Howdy.

Hey, Ginger. How you doin'?

Pretty good.

P.S. I'm not wearin' no gym shorts.

Okay. Oh!

God! Damn!

Excuse me.

Is this the WNBA tryout?

Ladies, y'all know Clementine.

Sure do.

Okay.

We're gonna take it slow.

Oh.

Looks like someone remembers

how to handle a ball.

Honey, I always remember

how to handle balls.

- Slut.

- Lard ass.

Line up.

Hey, where's Florine?

- I thought you said she was committed.

- Yeah.

She is.

Whoo!

Whoa, right there!

Thank... you!

Yee-haw! Thank you.

I'm Florine Clarkston.

I'm runnin' for mayor.

I hope I can count

on your vote for mayor.

What?

I'm running for mayor!

I prefer mustard.

Don't forget to vote.

Vote for Flo.

Beth. I didn't know

you square danced.

I didn't know that this was a

stop on the campaign trail.

Well, I just want the retired

folks in town to know...

that I will have their best

interests at heart as mayor.

What about the interests

of the women in town?

You know, if you joined our team,

you might actually have fun.

I'm sure y'all only remember the

fun of high school basketball.

What are you talking about?

During the play-offs

against Jasper,

the fans called me "Jumpin' Jigaboo"

throughout the entire game.

Well, most of those folks

wouldn't know sh*t from Shinola.

And I bet none of them

are running for mayor now.

I just wanted to let you know we're

practicing again tomorrow, 3:00.

I'll think about it.

Yippee! Ha-cha! Ha! Ha!

Oh, honey, nobody wants

to see your do-si-do.

Bless her heart.

Hi. Remember me?

I couldn't help but overhear.

If you need a team manager,
