- Whoa, slow down. - What?
Your father wanted you to have this.
Wants me to have Eagles information.
DOLORES: It's his living.
Um, tell Dad thanks.
Your father expects to spend time with you, Pat.
(DOOR CLOSES)
Football stays out of this place. So does Lord of the Flies.
PAT: What are you doing? I'm behind on my syllabus.
TIFFANY: I don't give a fuck.
PAT: What the hell are you doing? Hey, hey!
- Did you throw that outside? - You're not gonna read that on my time.
I can tell you about Lord of the Flies.
It's a bunch of boys on an island and they have a conch, a shell,
and whoever has the conch has power and can talk.
You don't have the conch, don't have power.
Then there's a little chubby boy, Piggy,
and they're mean, and then there's a murder.
I mean, humanity is just nasty and there's no silver lining.
Wow. That was a great synopsis. I still need to read it, though.
(KNOCK ON DOOR)
Who's that?
Hello? What the...? What are you doing here, man?
If one of your two supervising physicians loses their license,
your whole adjudication is thrown out.
PAT: How'd you know we were here? DANNY: Your parents.
- Danny, Tiffany. Tiffany, Danny. - Pat told me about you.
- Is this the girl you wrote about? PAT: - Yeah.
You wrote about me? I'm "the girl"?
- He wrote about you. - What did he say?
DANNY: You was helping each other out
and you were nice. And you had a mouth on you, but...
- Whoa, OK, OK. DANNY: - A little mouthy.
- Tell me more about what he said. - I'll just tell you.
- It was just a very general letter. - Cool.
DANNY: - She's fine. - She is my friend with an F.
- A capital F. She's fine. - For "friend."
Mm. Can I see what you guys are doing?
Yeah.
- One, two. DANNY: - I like it, I like it.
- Do you? DANNY: - It's good, yeah.
And then this goes into something else.
- That's it? - What is it? What is it? What is it?
- Can I say something? TIFFANY: - No.
- You sure? - Just say it.
I think, Pat, you should be facing Tiffany.
Let me show you what I mean. You gotta come with a little bit more soul.
You should move some more hips. Pat, come in like this.
OK.
Yeah. Can you move a little bit more hip?
That's it. Move a bit more.
You could turn around too. Yeah. You're pretty good.
Yeah. Exactly.
(STEVIE WONDER'S "DON'T YOU WORRY 'BOUT A THING" PLAYING)
- Yeah. - OK, we got it, we got it.
- Yeah, yeah, yeah, we got it. - I'll switch with you.
Come on, Pat. Come on.
A little bit more soul, Pat.
- Black it up, Pat. - What's that mean?
DANNY: - You know what it means. - "Black it up"?
Oh, wait a minute, wait a minute, wait a minute. Oh, man. I got an idea.

PAT: Is that it? DANNY: That's it.
Bounce, bounce. Shuffle back, shuffle, shuffle.
Shuffle back, shuffle back. You gotta move your junk.
Pop. Pop your butt. Pop it.
I gotta get out of here. Gotta see this girl, Tanya.
- Yeah, go see Tanya. - OK, man, hey.
I'll be there. I want you to win.
- Excelsior, Pat. PAT: - Excelsior.
That's my man. Let's go.
PAT SR.: Patty.
Patty.
Hey. Patty.
Pat.
Huh? Patty.
Where have you been? Huh?
We got a serious situation on our hands, you know that.
We gotta beat the Giants if we wanna have a chance of getting into division,
any chance of playing in the playoffs.
Do you realise that?
Ahem. I didn't realise that.
Yeah, that's the bind we're in.
I mean, I think it would be wise if we spent father-son time
reading about the Eagles, talking about them,
just to strengthen the good-luck thing that you're in.
- OK. - Yeah?
- Right. - Hm?
I just wanted to, uh...
Maybe I didn't
spend enough time with you growing up.
I spent too much time with your brother.
It might've made you feel worse about your behaviour,
but I didn't know anything. I didn't know how to handle it.
That's what all this Eagles stuff is about.
It's about us spending time now.
I wanna do everything I can to help you get back on your feet.
That's the whole point.
Yeah.
I wish you'd watch these games with me
so we could talk, we could get into things.
So, look, will you just come downstairs and talk to me and Randy now, huh?
PAT SR.: Randy, tell him what I'm doing.
He's betting everything on the Giant game. Everything.
The money he needs for the restaurant,
- he's betting on the Giant game. PAT SR.: - Tell him why.
Because he believes in you.
- Is that true? PAT SR.: - I believe in you, Patty.
I believe in you.
I want you to know that.
So I'm gonna bet heavy on this game.
- You understand? PAT: - Yeah.
Heavy. I want you to go to the game with your brother.
- Want me to go to the game with Jake? - I do.
- Does he want me to go? - Of course.
- He told you that? - He told me, yes.
- With his friends? - With his friends. He trusts you.
- He's not embarrassed? - No.
I'd love to go to the game too, but I'm banned from the stadium.
I'd love to see us beat the Giants
and take a lot of money from this asshole.
Listen, personally,
- I think it's a stupid bet. - Randy.
I think it's ridiculous to bet all that dough for the restaurant on a game.
PAT SR.: Randy. I just hope you heard what I said.
It's like a family business, it's our family endeavour.
We all stick together on this. That's how it works.
That's a positive, positive vibe.
I made a commitment about a project,
and we have an important part of it that we have to go over on Sunday, so...
(SIGHS)
I... I'm...
It's... And it's good for me, Dad.
It's making me disciplined and focused, and it's...
Never would've thought this, but it's a good thing.
What is this thing you're doing?
Yeah, what is it? What is this project, hon?
PAT: It's a dance thing, OK?
There's nothing more to it, Dad.
I swear.
Listen, I need to ask you something.
Tomorrow, can I spend half the day with you?
- I'm gonna pretend that you didn't ask. - Why?
These are the two days that you have promised me
and we have prepared to nail the big move.
It's not ready yet, we don't have the move.
My dad opened up, and it was beautiful and I wanna be of service to him.
He's worried the juju is being fucked up because I'm spending time with you.
Oh, I messed up the Eagles' juju?
You're not messing it up, the juju is messed up
because I'm not with him during the games.
- Guess what. - What?
Nikki replied to your letter.
But you can't read it until after you nail the big move.
- Go. (SIGHS)
(PAT GRUNTS)
(TIFFANY GRUNTS)
I can't do anything else till I can read Nikki's letter.
It's in the back of my head. We don't almost have it, all right?
TIFFANY: - I just hope you can handle it. - Thank you.
What was her energy when she gave it to you?
She was intrigued, excited, and a little scared.
She was scared? About what? Did she tell you?
Try to stay positive.
I'm just gonna read it out loud, OK? Because if she says anything that's...
- Is that too much to ask? - No.
- I thought you were gonna read it. - OK. I'm sorry.
"Dear Pat." Ahem.
"It was very emotional for me to get your letter, as you can imagine,
but I'm glad you took the risk of getting it to me through Tiffany."
"This gives us a chance to communicate
while I keep the restraining order until I feel safe."
"I admit you sound terrific and I'm happy you're feeling positive
and becoming a more loving and caring man, which I always knew you were."
(SIGHS)
"I was moved to read about excelsior and your belief in happy endings."
"I'm moved by your act of love to read books I taught."
"I'm sorry you find them negative."
"They're great works that reflect how hard life can be."
"They can help kids prepare themselves for the hardness of life."
"In spite of these developments,
if it's me reading the signs, I need to see something
to prove you are ready to resume our marriage."
"Otherwise, I find myself thinking that
we might both be better off moving on with our lives separately."
"Don't react quickly to this, but take time to think about it."
"I'm glad you're doing so well. Love, Nikki."
I think I'm done today, OK?
She said to show her something, Pat. This dance can be that something.
You would've never done something like this in a million years.
It shows all kinds of skills on so many levels,
focus, collaboration, discipline.
It's romantic, like I said it would be.
It's for her.
Thanks for the letter. I'll see you tomorrow, OK?
(DOOR OPENS THEN CLOSES)
CROWD: E-A-G-L-E-S!

PAT: Can I use your phone?
- Is it an emergency? - Yeah, kind of.
What kind of emergency?
I'm doing this project with Tiffany. I wanna tell her I'm not gonna be on time.
Just don't make her an emergency, that crazy girl.
I'm... She's... I'll just borrow Jake's phone.
Too bad you can't come, but I know you were kicked out,
beating everybody up.
Guess we're not that different, huh, Dad?
That a bad thing?
No, I think it's a good thing.
Don't drink, don't hit anybody. You'll be fine.
Yeah. I'm solid.

What are you doing here?
- We must beat the Giants. - Not supposed to see you.
Outside the office.
- Is that illegal? - I'm your brother in green,
not your therapist. I'm happy to see you.
Wonderful that you are here.
This is Cliff. My doctor.
Two things. Watch that bubble screen for Manning in the backfield
and make sure we knock the receivers on their ass.

If you really want, you can call Veronica because she does,

Because she brings me down! She brings me down.
You're not gonna throw the marriage away. There's some love there.
You guys have a thing that got broken. You gotta fix it like a chiropractor.
Gotta give it a chiropractic adjustment.
Enough with awkwardness!
I don't wanna not be able to say what I wanna say.
You're right, you're right.

Yeah! Let's go! Whoo!

This is America, baby.
Go back to your country.
- Get out of here! - What's wrong?

What did you do? You fucking lost it.
You said you had it together, you were solid.
I am solid. I was solid at the game. I'm solid. I'm solid.
You fell apart! What are you talking about?
It's all fucking ruined now. It's all ruined.
- It's all ruined! PAT: - No, Dad.
- It's ruined! It's ruined! PAT: - No, Dad.
You little fucking shit!
PAT: - Come on, Dad! - You fucking loser! You loser!
PAT: - I'm not a loser. - You fucking loser! Spiked the ball...

- Spiked the ball at the one-yard line. PAT: - No, Dad.
(DOORBELL RINGING)
PAT SR.: - Who is this? - We need to talk now.
When you make a commitment, it is not cool to not show up!
Wait. I tried to call.
- My God. - Who is this?
PAT: I tried to call you, Tiffany. TIFFANY: Oh, really?
PAT: I was gonna split my time with my dad and you.
- Dad was pulling me in one direction. - Sounds great.
That's great for all of them, but all of them
didn't make a commitment to me in return for my help.
I'm Tiffany, by the way.
What is this craziness with Tiffany Maxwell?
PAT: No craziness. I told you I was doing this thing.
PAT SR.: When you started spending time with her, it fell apart.
- This is the reason right here. - Think I fucked up the Eagles' juju?
Ever since. Ever since he was with you. Since...
- Think I'm why today's happened? PAT SR.: - You are why today happened.
- I'm why today happened? PAT SR.: - I think so.
- Let's talk about that. - Be my guest.
The first night that Pat and I met,
the Eagles beat the 49ers handily, 40 to 26.
The second time we got together,
the Phillies beat the Dodgers 7 to 5 in the NLCS.
JAKE: - She's right. - Next time we went for a run,
the Eagles beat the Falcons, 27 to 14.
The third time we got together, we had Raisin Bran in the diner.
Phillies dominated Tampa Bay, fourth game of the World Series, 10 to 2.
PAT: - Oh, wow. - Let me think about that. Wait a minute.
Why not think about when the Eagles beat the Seahawks, 14 to 7?
- He was with you? TIFFANY: - He was. We went for a run.
There have been no games since Pat and I have been rehearsing every day.
And if Pat had been with me like he was supposed to,
he wouldn't have gotten in a fight,
maybe the Eagles beat the New York Giants.
She's making a lot of sense, Pop. That's all right on all counts.
Does anybody here happen to know what the official motto of New York is
on the official seal of the state of New York?
- Anybody? Do you know? - No.
- Excelsior. Look it up. (ALL) - Oh!
PAT: What? TIFFANY: Yeah.
- Excelsior. DOLORES: - Oh, Pat.
Not that I give a fuck about football or your superstitions,
but if it's me reading the signs,
I don't send the Eagles guy whose personal motto is "excelsior"
to a fucking Giants game,
especially when he's already in a legal situation.
RONNIE: - Unbelievable. - Wow. How did you know all that stuff?
- I did my research. (BOTTLE CAP POPS)
- Well, I gotta say, I'm impressed. TIFFANY: - Thank you.
Yeah. I gotta rethink this whole thing.
I didn't trust her before, but I gotta say, now I do.
Oh, now you like her, Dad?
I have to say I do. Yup.
RANDY: Patrizio, I feel terrible, you know?
You made the bet, I won a lot of money,
and now your whole family is in turmoil.
Oh, fuck off, Randy. You love it.
You live for this. You've bet against my father for years.
You're twisting the knife now. You get off on it!
That's not true. Don't say that.
- Fine, then prove it! - Yeah, prove it.
RANDY: How do you want me to prove it?
How do you prove it?
- How do I prove it? - A chance to win back everything.
- Double or nothing. - No, no, no.
Double or nothing on the Bengals next week, is that what you're saying?
TIFFANY: Mm-mm.
- Against the Cowboys. (ALL) - Oh!
RANDY: Oh, come on, are you kidding? RONNIE: That's his team.
TIFFANY: That's your team, isn't it, Randy?
- I know who his team is. RANDY: - When is the game?
- December 28th, last of the season. PAT: - Oh, my God.
Same day as the Benjamin Franklin Pairs Open Freestyle Dance Competition.
DOLORES: - Oh, God. - Randy.
Don't you believe in America's team?
Yeah, don't you believe in America's team?
I believe in America's team. But if I win that bet, I win your book,
you're out of action, you get no restaurant, no nothing.
- I like it. DOLORES: - No. No, Patrizio.
I believe in the Eagles, my son. I'll take the action. I'll take it.
PAT: - Dad. - Patrizio, don't. It's toxic.
I have faith. Excelsior belongs in this house.
- Dad. - Not in New York. In this house.
Dad, I didn't know excelsior was the motto of New York.
- But now I know. - This is toxic.
Dad, this is toxic. You shouldn't be doing this.
Quiet, you already did enough. What do you say?
My Birds, Benjamin Franklin's team,
favoured one and a half points. Give you 3 more.
Patrizio, stop it. Randy, don't you take the bet!
- In fact, I'll give you 10 points. - No, Dad!
- Dad! This is insanity! - Dad!
- Take that bet on the Cowboys. RANDY: - Dolores, will you stop him?
- Jesus! PAT SR.: - Yeah.
How could you not take that bet? Even with 10 points.
That's an insane spread to your advantage. Cowboys are cowards.
I bet you're such a coward, you won't take the 10.
Plus, whatever their score is at the dance thing. What's that?
- What's that? - No, no, no.
You're crazy to give away that many points. I won't take that.
However, wait a second.
- I do like the idea of a parlay. - What? No parlay! No.
- No, don't do it. Don't do it. DOLORES: - Mother of God.
How do they run this dance competition? How do they score it?
I don't know how they score. We're participating, not a part of it.
There's people... This is a high-end dance contest.
Do not put it as part of the parlay.
They go by Philadelphia rules. Each dancer is scored 1 to 10,
10 the highest, average the four judges' scores.
OK, scores from 1 to 10, right?
And you guys are how good?
- We suck. - We don't suck.
Pat's a beginner, I'm OK. We're happy just to be going.
RANDY: The people you're competing against?
They're good. Some of them are professionals.
RANDY: Better than you?
- A lot better. RANDY: - A lot better.
If I was to say you only have to score 5, I'd be really very generous, right?
No, no. That'd be amazing if we got 5.
- Let's not get... - We can get a 5. Give me a break.
- We can't get 5. - Give me a break.
- You'll get a 5. You'll get a 5. TIFFANY: - We can do a 5.
- What? RANDY: - That's the parlay.
- Will somebody explain me the parlay? - Win two bets or lose the whole thing.
For Pat Sr. to win, Birds gotta beat the Cowboys,
plus Pat and Tiffany gotta get at least a 5 at the dance.
PATEL: That's very, very manic indeed. RONNIE: That's the parlay.
RANDY: We'll shake on it. TIFFANY: Shake on it.
DOLORES: No! Oh, God. RANDY: It's a bet.
I'm not gonna be a part of this.
Randy, you're a fucking sickness, Randy. I'm out.
- Pat, you can't quit. - I'm not doing the dance.
- Calm down. Think about... PAT: - See you later.
- Pat, no. Pat. - What are you doing?
- I'm out. RONNIE: - What?
Here we are again at the one-yard line.
DeSean, snatching defeat from the jaws of victory.
- There you go. - What does that mean?
That connection with DeSean Jackson, it doesn't matter anymore.
Just because I have the jersey on. I'm not gonna do it.
You are not a stand-up guy right now.
- If it's me reading the signs... - You reading the signs? Oh, OK.
(DOOR SLAMS)
DOLORES: - Pat! Pat! - You are not a stand-up guy!
Uh-oh.
DOLORES: I told you not to push it.
PAT SR.: He's gotta do this. He can't be a quitter.
- He cannot be a quitter. - You took that stupid parlay thing.
Now he won't do the dance. It was very constructive for him. You ruined it.
Only one way to get him to show.
- What's that? - What's that?
We have to tell him Nikki's gonna be there.
DOLORES: - She won't come. - We have to tell him she's coming.
- We have to tell him. - That's a lie.
- White lie. - White lie.
That's no big deal. So it's a little lie.
- No other way. DOLORES: - No.
We gotta leave a trail of breadcrumbs
so that he can live his life without ruining it.
No. I don't approve.
- You can't do it. - Well, you know, I didn't approve
when you told her where he was running so she could ambush him.
I didn't approve of that, but you did it anyway, so I'm doing this.
That's it.
We're gonna tell him Nikki will be there.
(SIGHS)
- You gotta be part of it. - We have to do it.
DOLORES: Aren't you nervous to be lying?
No.
A little bit.
But it's for the best.

Well, you knew that. Maybe you should've scouted them.
RANDY: Look at those fucking dancers.
(LAUGHING)
You can give me the money now, you know.
Patty, all we have to do is we have to make a 5.
- Watch the game with me. - The Birds are better
- when Pat is with me, we settled that. - Stay for...
PAT: Relax, we're gonna be fine. I'll see you up there, OK?
Hey, Pat, Tiffany.
PAT: - Hey. - Glorious, beautiful occasion.
Yeah, yeah. All right, I'll see you.
- All right, wish me luck. PATEL: - Excelsior.
- What's this? - I thought you were doing it.
I thought you were doing it. We're doing a dance anyway, for God sakes.
You OK?
I want you to remember everything, all of the good stuff that we have here.
PAT: - Of course I do. - Just check in. I gotta go find Veronica.
- Good evening. MAN: - Evening.
PAT: Check in. MAN: Please.

Nikki.
Oh, Jesus.

- Oh, my God. Oh, my God. RONNIE: - Pat told me.
He told me you should never throw a marriage out the window.

(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
...4.8, a 4.9.
That's too bad, guys. That's a lot of 4's.
And a 5.4.
For an average score of 5.0.
WOMAN: Sorry. MAN: Sorry about that, guys.
(CHEERING)
What? Come on!
PAT: Dad, did the Eagles win?
The Eagles won, 44-6. They won, 44-6.
- Come on! EMCEE: - We'll take a ten-minute break.
Why are they so excited about a 5?
Great. Good job.
(CHATTERING)
TIFFANY: Thank you. You were amazing.
(JOHNNY MATHIS' "MISTY" PLAYING OVER SPEAKERS)
PAT: Thank you for coming. NIKKI: Of course.
PAT: - How are you? You OK? - I'm good. How are you?
- I'm good. Thanks. - You looked happy out there.
- Did I? Who'd have thought, dancing? - Yeah.
- You look incredible. - Thank you, yeah.
You lost a lot of weight.
Been reading your books, I have a positive attitude.
I'm on medication and I'm in therapy.
(WHISPERING INDISTINCTLY)
(WHISPERING CONTINUES)
- Where's Tiffany? - She left.
- What do you mean? - She left.
- What do you expect? - Where is she?
I know you don't wanna listen to your father.
You gotta pay attention to the signs.
Life reaches out a moment like this, it's a sin if you don't reach back.
I'm telling you, it's a sin. It'll haunt you the rest of your days like a curse.
You're facing a big challenge in your life now, this very moment.
That girl loves you. I don't know if Nikki ever did,
but she sure doesn't love you right now. I'm telling you, don't fuck this up.
I love you, Dad.
(CAR HORN HONKS)
PAT: Hey!
- Would you just leave me alone? - Wait a second!
- I have one more letter for you. - Give it to her yourself!
You don't ever have to see me again if you just read it, all right?
This is so fucked up.
Yeah, just read it.
"Dear Tiffany...
I know you wrote the letter."
- Only way you could meet my crazy. - Was doing something crazy yourself.
Thank you.
I love you.
I knew it the minute I met you.
I'm sorry it took so long for me to catch up.
I just got stuck.
Pat.
I wrote that a week ago.
- You wrote that a week ago? - Yes, I did.
You let me lie to you for a week?
I was trying to be romantic.
You love me?
Yeah, I do.
OK.
PAT: The world will break your heart ten ways to Sunday, that's guaranteed.
And I can't begin to explain that.
Or the craziness inside myself and everybody else, but guess what.
Sunday is my favourite day again.
I think of everything everyone did for me and I feel like a very lucky guy.
PAT SR.: We have to beat the Vikings by 3. I'm giving you a 6,
which is very generous after the beating you just took.
What are we talking about here?
Do another parlay if you make it to the next round.
We are gonna make it to the next round.
JAKE: Did you? I laid that down. RONNIE: No.
- No, that was me. - No, that was me.
JAKE: No, I played the jack.
Put the breadcrumbs, the garlic in the steak,
- and you roll it up with the toothpicks? - Yeah. For maybe three hours, plus.
PAT SR.: Everything's good, everything's good.
I got you, you're all down.
Randy, he's complaining. He lost a lot of money. He's moaning and groaning.
The restaurant's happening because of Randy so everything's good.
