[TWO GUNSHOTS]
OLIVIA'S VOICE: HELP!
SOMEBODY, PLEASE!
NO, NO!
HOW'S IT
LOOKING, DOC?
IT'S HEALING NICELY.
LIFT UP YOUR ARM.
CAN YOU GO HIGHER?
DR. SHAW: HOW'S THAT FEEL?
SPENCER: FINE.
HOW'S IT REALLY FEEL?
THERE'S SOME PAIN.
WELL, THERE
SHOULD BE.
IT'S ONLY BEEN
A MONTH.
BUT I AM VERY PLEASED
WITH YOUR PROGRESS
SO FAR.
YEAH? SO, HOW LONG
TILL I CAN
PLAY FOOTBALL AGAIN?
FOOTBALL IS
THE LAST THING
YOU SHOULD BE
THINKING ABOUT.
I KNOW, BUT
IT'S ACTUALLY
ALL I CAN
THINK ABOUT.
I MEAN, THE WHOLE POINT
OF THE SURGERY WAS
GETTING ME BACK
ON THE FIELD, RIGHT?
YOU'RE NOT READY
TO PLAY JUST YET,
BUT YOU ARE CLEARED
FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY.
JUST KEEP IT LOW-IMPACT.
LIGHT WEIGHTS.
SWIMMING'S GOOD.
DON'T WORRY.
YOU'LL PLAY AGAIN.
WILL I BE
AS GOOD AS I WAS?
IT WAS A VERY SERIOUS
INJURY, SPENCER.
YOUR BODY HAS TO HEAL.
AND RIGHT NOW, YOUR
RANGE OF MOTION IS
PROBABLY
ONLY ABOUT 70%.
SO YOU'RE SAYING NO.
I'M SAYING
ONLY TIME WILL TELL.

TO TIGHTEN UP
YOUR DEFENSE, BRO.
I'M SCHOOLING YOU
EVERY PLAY.
LOOK, I DON'T NEED YOU
COACHING ME.
ASHER: AM I THE ONLY ONE
PUTTING IN WORK HERE?
[WHISTLE BLOWS]
BILLY: ASH, BRING IT IN!
CHILL OUT FOR
A FEW PLAYS.
NO, COACH, I'M GOOD.
I CAN APPRECIATE
YOUR ENERGY,
BUT YOU ARE
ANNOYING THE CRAP
OUT OF YOUR TEAMMATES,
SO COOL OUT.
[PLAYERS CHEER]
ALL RIGHT. RELAX.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
BACK TO WORK!
ALL RIGHT.
SO HOW'D IT GO?
PRETTY GOOD. YEAH.
DOC CLEARED ME FOR
PHYSICAL THERAPY.
LOW-IMPACT STUFF,
SWIMMING.
SO I GUESS I'LL
BE USING YOUR
POOL A WHOLE LOT.
ALL RIGHT. WHAT ELSE?
HE DON'T THINK I'M
READY TO PLAY BALL
YET, THOUGH.
HUH.
BUT I FIGURED
SINCE HE CLEARED
ME FOR PT,
I CAN JUST
PLAY THROUGH THE
SORENESS, RIGHT?
MM. NAH, I DON'T
KNOW ABOUT THAT.
COME ON, COACH. LOOK.
I CAN JUST
RUN MY ROUTES
AND STAY SHARP. WHAT?
WHAT'S THE RUSH?
YOU JUST FINISH OUT
YOUR PHYSICAL THERAPY.
ONCE THEY CLEAR YOU
TO PLAY AGAIN,
YOU GOT THE STARTING SPOT
WAITING HERE FOR YOU.
SPENCER:
AND WHAT DO I TELL
THE COLLEGE COACHES
ON MY RECRUITING TRIPS?
YOU AIN'T GOTTA
WORRY ABOUT THAT.
LET'S JUST GET
YOUR BODY RIGHT.
I'LL REACH OUT.
I'LL REACH OUT
TO THE SCHOOLS.
WHY YOU GOTTA WORRY
ABOUT THAT?
I THOUGHT THEY WAS
CALLING ABOUT ME.
THEY WERE, THEY WERE,
BUT, UH,
YOU KNOW, THE SHOOTING
HAPPENED, SO--
SPENCER: THEY BACKED OFF?
BILLY: LOOK, FOR NOW.
LET'S JUST GET YOU
HEALTHY, ALL RIGHT?
THEN WE CAN SHOW THEM
YOU'RE THE SAME PLAYER
YOU WERE LAST SEASON.
♪ LET ME SHINE ON YOU... ♪
HEY. WHAT ARE YOU
STILL DOING HERE?
UM, I'VE BEEN TALKING
TO THE COUNSELOR
A COUPLE DAYS A WEEK
SINCE THE, YOU KNOW...
YEAH. I LOVE MS. BAILEY.
SHE'S GREAT.
YEAH, I HAVEN'T BEEN
SLEEPING MUCH LATELY.
SHE LETS ME RAMBLE ON
AS LONG AS I WANT.
IT'S KIND OF LIKE
A DRY RUN FOR MY
PODCAST MATERIAL.
OH, I LISTENED
TO THE LATEST EPISODE
OF YOUR PODCAST.
SO GOOD.
JUST KEEPS GETTING
BETTER AND BETTER, LIV.
THANKS. WAIT.
WHY ARE YOU STILL HERE?
UH, EXTRA CREDIT.
I'M STILL TRYING
TO DIG MYSELF OUT OF
THAT HOLE I DUG
WHEN I SKIPPED
ALL THOSE CLASSES.
YEAH. WELL, AT LEAST
YOU SEEM HAPPY.
I'M JUST LOOKING FORWARD
TO WHAT'S NEXT FOR ME.
ANY IDEAS?
UH, YEAH,
ACTUALLY. UM,
CAN'T DENY THE FACT
THAT MUSIC'S IN MY BLOOD,
AND I ALWAYS
THOUGHT IT'D BE
SONGWRITING BECAUSE
OF MY MOM,
BUT I ACTUALLY HAVE
A KNACK FOR PRODUCING
LIKE MY DAD,
SO JUST WORKING ON
SOME NEW STUFF.
I MEAN, THAT'S
REALLY GREAT, LAYLA.
AND WHENEVER YOU'RE
READY TO SHARE
SOME OF THAT MUSIC,
I'VE GOT AT
LEAST 50 PEOPLE
WILLING TO
LISTEN TO IT.
LAYLA: 50?
OLIVIA: 50.
FIVE-ZERO OR ONE-FIVE?
-FIVE-ZERO.
-WOW!
COOP: HEY, Y'ALL GOT
TVs IN HERE?
PREACH: YUP.
WHAT YOU WATCHING?
-HOME MAKEOVER SHOWS.
-WHY?
I DON'T PICK
THE CHANNELS.
IT'S JUST ON.
EITHER YOU WATCH IT
OR YOU DON'T.
BESIDES,
I'M MOSTLY DOING
WHAT I DID THE LAST
TIME I WAS IN HERE,
READING BOOKS.
WHAT YOU READING?
COOP, WHAT YOU
DOING HERE?
I'M JUST CHECKING IN
ON YOU.
YOU AIN'T GOTTA
VISIT ME THAT MUCH.
I'M GOOD.
LOOK, I DO NOT MIND.
I ACTUALLY LIKE HAVING
SOMEONE TO TALK TO.
I AIN'T SEEN PATIENCE
IN I DON'T KNOW
HOW LONG,
AND EVER SINCE
THAT SHOOTING,
I'VE BEEN
DODGING SPENCER.
WHY?
'CAUSE I'M THE REASON
HE GOT SHOT.
THAT WAS ALL TYRONE,
NOT YOU.
DON'T PUT THAT
ON YOURSELF.
OH, AIN'T NOBODY SEEN
TYRONE IN OVER A MONTH.
BUT DON'T WORRY.
WHENEVER HE DO DECIDE
TO SHOW UP,
I'M GONNA TAKE CARE
OF HIM.
FOR YOU
AND FOR SPENCER.
I GOT PEOPLE TO
TAKE CARE OF THAT FOOL.
YOU NEED TO TAKE CARE
OF YOURSELF.
SO WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH THIS MUSIC?
MAN, THAT IS NOT
IMPORTANT RIGHT NOW.
SO THAT'S IT, HUH?
YOU'RE GONNA GIVE AWAY
YOUR WHOLE FUTURE,
WAITING AROUND FOR TYRONE
SO YOU CAN DO
SOMETHING STUPID
THAT'LL PUT YOU
RIGHT HERE WHERE I AM.
I HOPE YOU LIKE
HOME MAKEOVER SHOWS.
SPENCER: COACH WILSON. HI.
SPENCER.
GOOD TO SEE YOU.
-HOW YOU FEELING, SON?
-GOOD. GOOD.
THEY CLEARED ME
FOR PHYSICAL THERAPY,
SO I CAN'T WAIT
TO GET BACK ON
THAT FIELD.
WE'RE LOOKING
FORWARD TO WATCHING
YOU PLAY
AGAIN THIS FALL.
I'M GLAD TO HEAR
THAT, COACH.
I DIDN'T KNOW
YOU WERE STOPPING BY.
DARNELL: LET ME KNOW
IF YOU NEED MORE ICE.
-OH. WHAT'S UP, SPENCE?
-WHAT'S UP, MAN?
I'M HERE FOR
A HOME VISIT WITH DARNELL.
UCLA JUST OFFERED ME
A SCHOLARSHIP, BRO.
THAT'S GREAT, MAN.
CONGRATULATIONS.
DARNELL:
APPRECIATE THAT.
I'M GONNA TAKE
AN UNOFFICIAL VISIT
TO CAMPUS TOMORROW.
YO, WE BOTH
GOT OFFERS NOW.
YOU SHOULD COME, TOO.
YOU SHOULD, SPENCER.
ALL RIGHT.
I'M IN. LET'S DO IT.
[SIGHS]
HEY, DON'T DRINK
ALL THE O.J.
SAVE SOME FOR ME
IN THE MORNING.
WHAT YOU DOING UP SO LATE?
I HAVEN'T BEEN
ABLE TO SLEEP MUCH
SINCE THE SHOOTING,
SO I USUALLY
JUST SIT HERE
MOST OF
THE NIGHT.
DOES IT HELP?
STRANGELY, YES.
IT'S QUIET.
AND NO JORDAN.
BEST TIME
TO THINK.
WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT?
EVERYTHING.
I MEAN, WHEN SOMETHING
LIKE THAT HAPPENS,
IT MAKES YOU REEVALUATE
YOUR ENTIRE FUTURE.
TELL ME ABOUT IT.
I'M, UH, I'M VISITING
UCLA TOMORROW.
THAT'S GREAT.
OR IS THAT THE
REASON YOU'RE UP?
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST--
WHAT IF THEY CHANGE
THEIR MINDS?
WHEN THEY OFFERED ME
A SCHOLARSHIP,
I WAS THE 57TH-RANKED
PLAYER IN THE COUNTRY.
I'M NOT
THAT PLAYER NO MORE.
YEAH, BUT YOU WILL BE
ONCE YOU HEAL.
THE DOCTOR DOESN'T KNOW
IF I'LL EVER GET
TO THAT LEVEL AGAIN.
SAYS ONLY TIME WILL TELL.
SO LET TIME
DO ITS THING.
AND WHILE YOU'RE WAITING,
JUST KNOW THERE'S ALWAYS
A SPOT NEXT TO ME
ON THIS COUCH.
SAME TIME
EVERY NIGHT.
ALL RIGHT. I'LL BE HERE.
♪ THE SUN IS FADING ♪
♪ A LITTLE MORE
EVERY TURN ♪
♪ BUT IF WE MAKE IT... ♪
GOOD NIGHT, LIV.
GOOD NIGHT.
♪ I'LL BE HERE FOR YOU
FOR SURE ♪
SET. GO!
ALL RIGHT. NICE.
AGAIN. AGAIN.
YOU SURE WE SHOULD
BE DOING THIS?
I JUST WANT TO RUN
A FEW ROUTES,
SEE WHERE I'M AT
BEFORE MY UCLA
VISIT, ALL RIGHT?
COME ON.
OK.
SET. GO.
AAH!
JORDAN: NO, NO, SPENCE.
LOOK, WE'RE DONE,
ALL RIGHT?
I'M GOOD.
NO. MY DAD SAID
YOU WEREN'T CLEARED
FOR PRACTICE, ALL RIGHT?
I SHOULD'VE LISTENED.
THE PAIN IS NOT
THE PROBLEM, ALL RIGHT?
AAH. MY REACH IS GONE.
WHAT AM I
SUPPOSED TO TELL
THE COACHES
AT THIS VISIT?
NOTHING. I'D LET
YOUR BODY FULLY HEAL
BEFORE YOU TELL THEM
ANYTHING.
JUST GO AND ENJOY
THE VISIT.
YOU'VE EARNED IT,
SPENCE.
I WOULDN'T HAVE
NO IDEA WHAT TO DO
IF A SCHOOL LIKE THAT
OFFERED ME A FULL RIDE.
-YOUR TIME WILL COME, MAN.
-MAYBE.
I'VE JUST BEEN
SO CONSUMED WITH FAMILY
DRAMA AND SIMONE THAT--
MAYBE WITH A BIG
SENIOR SEASON.
YOU SHOULD COME
WITH ME TODAY.
I'M ALLOWED TO BRING
A TEAMMATE.
I WANT YOU THERE.
AND WHO KNOWS?
MAYBE THAT WILL
REMIND YOU WHAT
TO STRIVE FOR.
[KISS]
IF YOU'RE WORRIED
ABOUT MY PARENTS
WALKING IN ON US,
THEY'RE BOTH GONNA BE
GONE ALL MORNING.
SORRY.
I'VE GOT MY
WEEKLY BREAKFAST
WITH MY MOM.
DO YOU NOT WANT TO GO?
SHE'S MAKING AN EFFORT,
SO I MIGHT AS WELL
GIVE HER A CHANCE.
SO IF IT'S NOT THAT,
THEN WHAT IS IT?
IT'S JUST SOMETHING
THAT YOUR DAD SAID
AT PRACTICE.
HE TOLD SPENCER
AS SOON AS HE'S
HEALED UP,
HIS STARTING SPOT'S
WAITING FOR HIM.
BUT THAT'S MY SPOT.
I'VE BEEN PLAYING
THE BEST FOOTBALL
OF MY LIFE.
WHAT MORE DO I HAVE
TO DO TO PROVE MYSELF?
YOU CAN STILL BE A STAR
WITH SPENCER
ON THE FIELD.
I MEAN, AS LONG AS
YOU'RE PLAYING WELL,
SCOUTS WILL NOTICE.
JUST KEEP
WORKING HARD.
I DON'T KNOW
HOW MUCH HARDER
I CAN PUSH
MYSELF, LIV.
COOP: YEAH, PROBABLY
ONE OF THESE DAYS.
Y'ALL JUST GONNA LEAVE?
MAN: PEACE.
PSH. ALL RIGHT.
WELL, HIT ME LATER.
HA HA!
OH, LAYLA.
LOOKS YOUR FRIENDS
DON'T LIKE ME
VERY MUCH.
OH, YOU FORGOT
YOU THE GIRL THAT
ALMOST TOOK BIG HOMEY
DEUCE'S HEAD OFF.
OH, I DID
FORGET ABOUT THAT.
YEAH. THEY DIDN'T.
SO WHAT'S UP?
WELL, I JUST WANTED
TO TALK.
SPENCER SAYS HE HASN'T
SEEN YOU IN A WHILE.
YEAH, MAN.
I'VE BEEN SUPER BUSY.
BUSY LIKE WORKING ON
NEW LYRICS?
NO. I AIN'T REALLY
BEEN MESSING
WITH THE MUSIC THING
NO MORE.
BEEN DEALING WITH SOME
MORE IMPORTANT STUFF.
OK, WELL,
I ACTUALLY THOUGHT
WE COULD COLLABORATE
ON SOMETHING.
I RECORDED A NEW BEAT
I THINK YOU'D LIKE.
CAN I PLAY IT FOR YOU?
AND IF I SAY NO,
YOU GONNA PLAY IT ANYWAY?
YUP.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
[MUSIC STOPS]
OH, THAT'S DOPE.
THOUGHT YOUR DAD
DIDN'T WANT
TO WORK WITH ME.
WELL, THIS HAS NOTHING
TO DO WITH HIM.
LOOK, I'VE ALWAYS THOUGHT
YOU WERE SPECIAL, COOP,
AND I STAND BY THAT.
PLUS, I'VE BEEN
THINKING A LOT MORE
ABOUT MY FUTURE,
AND I THINK I'D BE
REALLY GOOD AT
PRODUCING MUSIC.
AND YOU CAN HELP ME
PROVE IT,
SO WHAT DO YOU SAY?
-LAYLA, I DON'T--
-LOOK, COOP,
YOU'D REALLY BE
HELPING ME OUT.
AND ALL THAT MORE
IMPORTANT STUFF,
CAN IT WAIT?
ASHER: I BASICALLY HAVE
TO LIVE IN THE GYM THIS YEAR.
GWEN: WELL, THAT SOUNDS
A LITTLE EXCESSIVE.
IF I WANT COLLEGE
COACHES TO NOTICE ME,
I GOTTA PASS
THE EYE TEST.
BUT YOU HAVE
PERFECT EYESIGHT.
NO. THE "EYE TEST"
IS WHEN THEY LOOK
AT YOU AND THEY SEE
A D-I PLAYER.
I ALSO HAVE TO HIT
MY TARGET STATS.
GWEN: WHICH ARE?
ASHER: 70, MINIMUM.
70 WHAT?
CATCHES NEXT SEASON.
THAT'S A LOFTY GOAL.
IT'S NOT A GOAL.
IT'S A GUARANTEE.
WHAT, YOU DON'T THINK
I CAN DO IT?
NO, I JUST THINK
THAT MAYBE
YOU'RE PUTTING
A LITTLE
TOO MUCH PRESSURE ON
YOURSELF, THAT'S ALL.
MAYBE YOU SHOULD
GIVE YOUR BODY A REST.
HAVE YOU NOT
BEEN LISTENING?
I HAVE
AND YOU'RE SAYING
A LOT OF WORDS
REALLY FAST.
YEAH, I'M FOCUSED.
IS THAT ALL IT IS?
BECAUSE I NOTICED
IN PRACTICE, YOU WERE
STRUGGLING TO BREATHE
A COUPLE OF TIMES.
WHAT WAS THAT?
I WAS CATCHING
MY BREATH.
IT'S JUST
I HAVE ATTENDED
QUITE A FEW
PRACTICES LATELY,
AND YOUR PROGRESS
HAS BEEN DRAMATIC.
SOME MIGHT EVEN
CALL IT SUSPICIOUS.
ASHER: WHAT ARE YOU SAYING?
GWEN: I'M JUST SAYING
THAT YOU HAVEN'T
BEEN ACTING LIKE
YOURSELF LATELY.
YEAH, AND HOW WOULD
YOU KNOW, MOM?
LOOK, YOU ABANDONED
ME FOR A YEAR
BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T
WANT YOUR FRIENDS
TO FIND OUT THAT
YOU WERE AN ESCORT.
MAYBE YOU JUST DON'T
KNOW ME ANYMORE, MOM.
-LOOK, I GOTTA GO.
-NO, ASHER.
PLEASE STAY.
COME ON.
SIT DOWN.
OK, SO MAYBE I
DON'T KNOW YOU
THE WAY I USED TO.
BUT THAT'S WHY
WE'RE HERE.
LOOK, I'M SORRY
I SAID ANYTHING.
LET'S JUST FINISH
OUR BREAKFAST, OK?
DARNELL: IS IT
MY TURN TO TALK NOW?
WOMAN: YOU DON'T
GET A VOTE.
OK, SO I HAVE
NO SAY IN MY FUTURE?
EXCUSE ME?
SINCE WHEN DO YOU
RAISE YOUR VOICE
AT ME?
SPENCER:
WHAT'S GOING ON?
SPENCER, THIS IS RENEE--
DARNELL'S MOM.
RENEE, THAT'S MY BOY
AND HIS FRIEND JORDAN.
DARNELL: SHE'S HERE TO TAKE ME
BACK TO GERMANY WITH HER.
IT'S TIME FOR YOU
TO COME HOME.
THAT'S NOT MY HOME, MA.
I AIN'T GOING.
I'M JUST GONNA
WAIT IN THE CAR.
DARNELL: NO. WE'RE ALL LEAVING.
RENEE: SIT DOWN.
WE ARE NOT
FINISHED HERE.
DARNELL:
YEAH, WE ARE.
RENEE: HUH?
DARNELL: UH, LET'S GO, BRO.
RENEE: DARNELL,
YOU BETTER TURN AROUND.
DARNELL?
YOUR BOY'S GOT
A BIG UCLA VISIT
TO GET TO. GO.
I'LL TAKE CARE OF THIS.
RENEE: EXCUSE ME?
GRACE, SOFTLY: GO.
SPENCER: YES, MA'AM.
YOU HAD NO RIGHT
TO GET INVOLVED.
I HAD EVERY RIGHT.
THIS IS MY HOUSE.
DID YOU HEAR THE BASS
IN HIS VOICE?
HE SOUNDED UPSET.
HE WAS DOWNRIGHT
DISRESPECTFUL.
DARNELL HAS NEVER
TALKED BACK TO ME
LIKE THAT.
HE MUST'VE PICKED UP
THIS NEW ATTITUDE
RECENTLY.
[SIGHS]
LOOK, RENEE,
I AM NOT GONNA
JUSTIFY HIS BEHAVIOR.
THEN DON'T.
I'M JUST SAYING
DARNELL HAS
A ONCE-IN-A-LIFETIME
OPPORTUNITY
TO PLAY FOOTBALL
AT A MAJOR COLLEGE.
MOVING OVERSEAS
MIGHT AFFECT THAT.
HE'S MY SON.
I KNOW WHAT'S
BEST FOR HIM.
I'VE BEEN EXACTLY
WHERE YOU ARE.
LAST YEAR, I AGREED
TO LET SPENCER
MOVE TO BEVERLY HILLS
TO PLAY FOOTBALL.
IT WAS ONE OF THE MOST
DIFFICULT DECISIONS
I EVER HAD TO MAKE,
BUT I DID IT
FOR HIS FUTURE.
AND HE STILL ENDED UP
GETTING HURT.
LISTEN, I'VE BEEN
GIVING YOU A PASS,
BUT THAT AIN'T GONNA
LAST MUCH LONGER.
MY POINT IS
YOU CAN'T PROTECT
YOUR CHILDREN
WHEN THEY'RE
NOT WITH YOU.
I'M JUST TRYING
TO PROTECT MY BOY.
I KNOW.
DARNELL IS ONE OF
THE BEST YOUNG MEN
I HAVE EVER MET,
AND THAT'S
BECAUSE OF YOU.
BUT MAYBE
YOU SHOULD GIVE HIM
A VOTE IN
HIS OWN FUTURE.
DARNELL: MAN, SHE HAD
HER MIND MADE
BEFORE SHE
GOT HERE, BRO.
SHE WON'T EVEN
HEAR MY SIDE.
CAN'T BE EASY
FOR HER, MAN.
FOR HER?
HAVING A KID
ACROSS THE OCEAN.
YO, I THOUGHT YOU HAD
MY BACK ON THIS.
I DO, MAN.
I WANT YOU TO STAY.
I'M JUST SAYING
I SEE HER SIDE.
LOOK, SHE LEFT YOU
WITH COREY.
THAT'S SOMEBODY
SHE KNEW AND TRUSTED.
SHE DON'T KNOW MY MOMS.
WE'RE ALL JUST
STRANGERS TO HER.
-YEAH, BUT THAT DOESN'T MEAN--
-YOU'RE NOT LISTEN--
WILSON: HEY, GUYS,
HOW'S THE TOUR GOING?
DARNELL: GOOD. GOOD.
SPENCER: YEAH.
'CAUSE IT SEEMS
LIKE YOU'RE MISSING
MOST OF IT.
WE CAN DO IT
ANOTHER DAY
IF YOU GUYS--
NO, NO, SIR.
NO, SIR.
JORDAN: YO, DID YOU GUYS
KNOW THEY USED TO HAVE
A LIVE BEAR MASCOT
AT HOME GAMES?
THAT WAS
A LONG TIME AGO.
YEAH, BUT
YOU GUYS MIGHT
BRING IT BACK,
THOUGH, RIGHT?
NO. SHALL WE
CONTINUE?
YEAH. YEAH.

WASN'T EASY.
A LOT OF HARD WORK,

YO, WE SHOULD
COMMIT. TODAY.
WHAT'S THE RUSH?
I'VE SEEN EVERYTHING
I NEED TO SEE.
YO, YOU SURE
THIS ISN'T BECAUSE
THE OTHER SCHOOLS
BACKED OFF?
YO, THIS IS MY DREAM
SCHOOL, MAN. WHY WAIT?
I MEAN, IT WOULD
MAKE IT HARDER
FOR MY MOM TO
TAKE ME AWAY IF I COMMITTED.
SPENCER: RIGHT?
WILSON: I WANT
TO INTRODUCE YOU GUYS
TO OUR HEAD FOOTBALL COACH.
CHIP KELLY. WOW.
-YOU GUYS ENJOYING YOUR VISIT?
-YES, SIR.
THANKS FOR
HAVING US, COACH.
JORDAN: COACH,
DO YOU GUYS THINK
YOU'LL EVER BRING BACK
YOUR LIVE BEAR MASCOT
FOR HOME GAMES?
ONLY IF IT CAN
BLOCK FOR DARNELL.
OH, OK!
WILSON: THANKS
FOR THE TIME, GUYS.
APPRECIATE IT.
WE'LL CATCH UP
SOON.
-ABSOLUTELY. APPRECIATE YOU.
-YES, SIR.
-NICE TO MEET YOU.
-GREAT MEETING YOU.
MAN. COME ON.
A LIVE BEAR? WHAT?
HE'S GONNA REMEMBER ME
NOW, WON'T HE?
I'M SURE. I'M SURE.
YES. OOH. WHOA!
YO. CAN YOU

IN HIS OFFENSE
FOR 4 YEARS?
[SOFTLY]
MAN.
LAYLA: SO, TODAY,
YOU'LL JUST BE MEETING
SOME OF THE TEAM
WE'LL BE WORKING WITH.
WE GOT A TEAM?
WELL, THEY JUST
KNOW HOW TO USE
ALL THE CONFUSING
EQUIPMENT,
BUT WE PRODUCE
THE MUSIC.
COOL.
UM, PETE IS
OUR SOUND ENGINEER,
SO HE KNOWS WHAT ALL
THE BUTTONS AND KNOBS DO.
I GOTTA ADMIT, THIS IS
WAY MORE THAN
WHAT I EXPECTED.
AND IT'S
THE LIMITED PACKAGE.

WILSON: WE CAN'T WAIT

FOR YOUR OFFICIAL
VISIT THIS FALL.
YOU'LL STAY OVERNIGHT.
GET TO EXPERIENCE
GAME DAY.
AND, LOOK, WE KNOW
A LOT OF OTHER SCHOOLS
ARE GONNA WANT YOU
TO PLAY FOR THEM,
AND YOU EARNED THAT.
ENJOY IT.
BUT IN THE END, GO
WITH WHAT FEELS RIGHT.
WE THINK YOU'D BE
A PERFECT FIT FOR UCLA.
WOW. UM,
THANK YOU, COACH,
AND I AGREE. UM...
SO WHAT IF I WANTED
TO COMMIT RIGHT NOW?
I DID IT, BRO.
IT'S YOUR TURN.
YOU GOT IT.
SPENCER: COACH.
WILSON: SPENCER.
SO HOW'D YOUR VISIT
GO TODAY?
BETTER THAN
I IMAGINED.
AND I DON'T JUST MEAN
THE FACILITIES.
I MEAN, IT'S A REAL
FAMILY HERE.
AND I'D LIKE
TO JOIN THAT FAMILY.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
LARGE FRIES.
MAN: THANK YOU.
WOMAN: THANK YOU.
COOP: LET ME GET
A DOUBLE CAF
MOCHA FRAP LATTE
WITH GREEN TEA
AND ALMOND MILK.
I'M NOT SURE
THAT'S A REAL DRINK.
COME ON, MAN. AIN'T
THAT WHAT BEVERLY HILLS
PEOPLE ORDER?
IT'S BEEN
A LONG TIME, COOP.
I KNOW.
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE.
BUT I CAN COME BACK
IF YOU'RE BUSY.
NO. IT'S ALL GOOD.
MY SHIFT'S ALMOST OVER.
I WAS GONNA
HIT THE GYM.
COOL.
WHERE YOU BEEN?
YOU NOT BEEN
ANSWERING MY CALLS,
AND EVERY TIME I
STOP BY YOUR SPOT,
AIN'T NOBODY IN.
I DO SOMETHING WRONG?
NO. I DID.
WHAT DID YOU DO?
I GOT YOU SHOT, MAN.
COME ON, MAN.
THAT'S NOT HOW
I REMEMBER IT.
SPENCER, IT WAS MY FAULT.
CUT THE CRAP, COOP.
THIS AIN'T ON YOU.
YOU HEAR ME?
IT'S NOT ON YOU.
I JUST WANT
MY BEST FRIEND BACK.
ME, TOO.
I HEARD ABOUT
THE STUDIO.
I KNOW.
I'M SORRY FOR
BAILING ON HER,
BUT I JUST THINK
IT'S BEST IF I TAKE
SOME TIME AWAY FROM
THE MUSIC.
SPENCER: WHY?
COOP: BECAUSE, MAN,
THERE'S SO MUCH GOING ON.
WITH PREACH
BEING IN JAIL,
TYRONE OUT HERE
RUNNING AROUND SOMEWHERE,
AND WHEN I SEE PATIENCE--
LOOK, CAN I GIVE YOU
SOME ADVICE?
WHEN I QUIT
PLAYING FOOTBALL,
I WAS ONE OF THE BEST
PLAYERS IN THE COUNTRY.
I MEAN, I WAS GREAT.
AND NOW I DON'T KNOW
IF I'LL EVER BE
THAT WAY AGAIN.
NOW YOU GREAT
AT SOMETHING, COOP.
DO NOT TAKE THAT
FOR GRANTED.
YOU DON'T KNOW HOW LONG
YOU GET TO BE GREAT.
HEY, MAN.
HEY.
GIMME A SPOT?
YEAH. FOR SURE.
HOW WAS YOUR TRIP
TO UCLA?
IT'S A SPECIAL
PLACE, MAN.
THAT'S A LOT OF WEIGHT.
MAYBE TAKE IT EASY
TILL YOU HEAL UP, HUH?
LOOK, CAN YOU PLEASE
BE THE ONE PERSON
WHO DOESN'T KEEP WARNING ME
ABOUT MY INJURY?
I KNOW MY BODY, ALL RIGHT?
ALL RIGHT, COOL.
ASHER: READY?
SPENCER: YEAH. LET'S GET IT.
3, 2, 1.
YOU KNOW, A LOT OF
PEOPLE SAY THERE ARE
WAYS TO ACCELERATE
THE RECOVERY PROCESS.
I KNOW IF I WERE
INJURED, MAN, I--
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT, MAN?
J.J.: OH, THERE HE IS.
THE MAN, THE MYTH,
FUTURE UCLA BRUIN IN THE HOUSE.
WAIT. WHAT?
YOU COMMITTED?
J.J.: HEY, IT'S TIME
TO CELEBRATE.
MAN, PUT THEM WEIGHTS AWAY.
WE'RE GOING OUT TONIGHT.
NAH, MAN, I GOTTA DO
MY PHYSICAL THERAPY, BRO.
JORDAN: NO. COME ON.
YOU'RE GONNA BE
DOING PT FOR WEEKS.
TAKE A NIGHT OUT
WITH US.
YEAH, MAN.
YOU DESERVE IT.
JORDAN: LOOK, LOOK,
THERE'S THIS BIG
FRATERNITY PARTY
AT COASTAL
CALIFORNIA TONIGHT.
DARNELL'S COMING.
WE'RE PICKING HIM UP.
YOU GUYS
READY TO ROLL?
ASHER: HOW ARE WE SUPPOSED
TO GET INTO A FRAT PARTY?
[DANCE MUSIC PLAYING]
SECRET HANDSHAKE, YO.
I'M A LEGACY.
MAN: WELCOME TO PSI BETA TAU!
DRINKS ARE EVERYWHERE.
HEY. HOW UGLY IS
THAT DUDE'S SHIRT?
J.J.: AH, IT'S
NOT THAT BAD.
IT ALMOST GAVE ME
A SEIZURE.
WAIT. ARE YOU
DARNELL HAYES?
UH, YEAH, AND--
HEY, YO,
EVERYONE LISTEN UP!
ONE OF THE NATION'S BEST
QBs IS IN THE HOUSE!
DARNELL HAYES.
LET'S GET HIM TO COMMIT
TO COASTAL CALIFORNIA!
DARNELL: ACTUALLY, I ALREADY--
MAN: MAKE IT HAPPEN.
SHOW HIM SOME LOVE.
[CROWD CHEERING]
YO, UM, YOU SHOULD
GET IN ON THAT LOVE.
SPENCER: NAH. THIS IS
DARNELL'S MOMENT.
HE'S HAD A ROUGH TIME.
HE DESERVES THIS.
I JUST HOPE YOU KNOW
HOW LUCKY YOU ARE.
I MEAN, THAT UCLA
CAMPUS WAS INSANE.
COME ON, MAN.
YOU COULD STILL
GET A OFFER THERE.
MAYBE WITH A BIG
SENIOR SEASON.
I MEAN, I AM
THE LIVE BEAR GUY.
OH, MY GOD.
BUT, I MEAN,
THEY'VE ALREADY GOT
THEIR QB, SO...
YEAH.
J.J.: OH, LOOK WHO'S
GETTING STARTED WITHOUT US.
YO, HOOK US UP, TROY.
NICE SHIRT, BY THE WAY.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
TROY: THANKS, BRO.
HEY, SPENCE,
THIS IS
YOUR NIGHT, TOO.
WE'RE ALL REALLY
PROUD OF YOU.
TO A FULL RIDE.
FULL RIDE.
J.J.: AHH.
ASHER: HUH! WHOO!
[J.J. CHUCKLES]
DUDE, I CAN
STAY HERE ALL DAY.
YOU MIGHT AS WELL
GET COMFORTABLE.
I CAN TAKE MOST OF
THESE GUYS, RIGHT?
WHAT, LIKE,
IN A FIGHT?
NO, NO, LIKE...
LIKE ARM WRESTLING
OR SOMETHING.
PLEASE DON'T
ARM-WRESTLE NOBODY.
I'M JUST POINTING OUT
I'M BIG ENOUGH
TO COMPETE WITH
THE COLLEGE GUYS.
YOU KNOW, THE EYE TEST.
HOW MANY OF THOSE
HAVE YOU HAD?
I'M FINE, MAN.
WHAT WERE YOU
SAYING BEFORE?
YOU KNOW, ABOUT
IF YOU WERE INJURED,
THE STUFF
YOU COULD TAKE
TO ACCELERATE
THE HEALING PROCESS?
NOTHING.
FORGET I SAID IT.
NO. WERE YOU TALKING
ABOUT STEROIDS?
IS THAT WHY YOU'VE
BEEN SO GOOD
ON THE FIELD LATELY?
RIGHT, 'CAUSE IT
WOULD TAKE STEROIDS
FOR SOMEONE ELSE
TO BE AS GOOD
AS SPENCER JAMES?
I DIDN'T SAY ALL THAT.
I JUST KNOW HOW
DANGEROUS
THAT STUFF
CAN BE, ALL RIGHT?
WHATEVER, MAN. LOOK,
I'M NOT USING ANYTHING,
SO WORRY
ABOUT YOURSELF.
[MUSIC PLAYING]
IS THAT A NEW SONG?
NAH, I'M JUST
WRITING DOWN SOME THOUGHTS.
WHAT ARE YOU
THINKING ABOUT?
SORRY. SORRY.
IT'S NONE OF
MY BUSINESS.
UM, I WAS SURPRISED
TO SEE YOU
AT THE STUDIO.
YEAH. SOUNDED
REAL GOOD.
THANK YOU. UM...
ARE YOU WORKING
WITH LAYLA?
MM. WE WAS GONNA
DO A SONG TOGETHER,
BUT IT JUST DIDN'T--
SOMETHING DIDN'T
FEEL RIGHT.
I WANT US TO BE
FRIENDS, COOP.
MAYBE WE'LL
GET THERE SOMEDAY.
[SOFTLY]
OK.
AND WHAT IS IT LIKE?
WORKING WITH J.P.?
I DON'T KNOW. I'M STILL
GETTING USED TO IT.
I MEAN, IT'S NOT
AS FUN AS WHEN WE
WORKED TOGETHER.
YOU KNOW,
IT JUST FEELS
SO BUSINESSLIKE.
WELL, IT IS
A BIG BUSINESS.
I DON'T KNOW. I JUST
KEEP THINKING THAT
I'M GONNA MESS UP
AND THEY'RE
GONNA REALIZE
I'M NOT AS GOOD
AS THEY THOUGHT I WAS
AND I DON'T KNOW.
DON'T WORRY ABOUT THAT.
YOU'RE EVEN BETTER THAN
WHATEVER THEY THINK YOU ARE.
JUST GOTTA
DO YOU, PATIENCE,
AND GO GET IT.
OK. I'LL, UM,
I'LL SEE YOU
AROUND, COOP.
[GRUNTS]
UHH! YES!
TOO EASY!
WHO'S NEXT?
DUDE, YOU NEED
TO CHILL.
CHILL?
I'LL TAKE ON
THIS WHOLE PARTY,
INCLUDING YOU
AND YOUR UGLY SHIRT.
TROY: OK, THAT'S IT.
SOMEBODY NEEDS TO COME
ESCORT THIS PUNK
OUT OF HERE.
HEY, THIS PUNK IS ABOUT
TO LAY YOU OUT, MAN.
COME ON. ASHER,
WHAT'S WRONG WITH YOU?
IT'S TIME FOR
ALL YOU KIDS
TO GO TO BED.
WHAT THE HELL
DID YOU JUST SAY?
SOUNDED
DISRESPECTFUL TO ME.
IT WAS MEANT
TO BE DISRESPECTFUL.
OH, LOOK, THESE GUYS
GOT UGLY SHIRTS, TOO.
[COLLEGE STUDENTS CHUCKLING]
OH, THIS IS
AN UGLY SHIRT PARTY.
I THINK IT'S JUST
UGLY SHIRTS.
WHAT'S IT GONNA
BE, LEGACY?
AH--I DIDN'T WANT
TO WEIGH IN ON THIS,
BUT I WILL.
I WOULDN'T WEAR
ANY OF THOSE
SHIRTS, EITHER.
I'M NOT TALKING
ABOUT THE SHIRTS.
I MEAN, WHOSE SIDE
ARE YOU ON?
OH. EXCUSE ME.
J.J.: WITH MY BOYS, OBVIOUSLY.
TROY: OK.
THEN YOU NEED
TO TAKE YOUR BOYS
OUT OF HERE,
AND DON'T EVER
COME BACK.
FINE BY ME.
I'M A LEGACY
AT, LIKE,
4 FRATERNITIES.
LET'S ROLL.
UGLY SHIRTS.
GRACE: RENEE,
IF YOU WANT, I CAN JUST
CALL YOU
WHEN THEY GET HOME.
I AIN'T GOING NOWHERE.
DO YOU REALIZE
WHAT TIME IT IS?
IT'S LATE.
IT IS LATER THAN DARNELL
HAS EVER STAYED OUT
WHEN HE WAS
LIVING WITH ME.
IS THIS WHAT
HE DOES HERE?
YOU ALMOST HAD ME, GRACE.
MM-HMM, WITH THAT WHOLE
"DARNELL DESERVES A VOTE
IN HIS FUTURE" THING.
BUT HOW AM I SUPPOSED
TO LEAVE MY SON
IN THIS HOUSE
AFTER TONIGHT?
RENEE, THIS HAS
NEVER HAPPENED BEFORE.
I DON'T KNOW YOU,
AND I'M NOT
SEEING ANYTHING
THAT SHOWS ME
DARNELL LIVING HERE
IS WHAT'S BEST
FOR HIM.
HE'S COMING HOME
TO GERMANY.
[KNOCK ON DOOR]
[OLIVIA TAPS DOOR]
JORDAN AND J.J. WENT
TO ANOTHER FRAT PARTY
AND ORDERED ME
A RIDE HOME,
BUT FOR SOME REASON,
I ENDED UP HERE.
YEAH, THAT WAS
MY IDEA.
I WAS HOPING
TO CHALLENGE
THE ARM WRESTLING CHAMP.
HE TOLD YOU
ABOUT THAT?
[EXHALES]
I MUST'VE LOOKED LIKE
A TOTAL IDIOT TONIGHT.
DIDN'T SOUND GREAT.
THANKS.
HEY.
WE'RE ALWAYS HONEST
WITH EACH OTHER, RIGHT?
RIGHT.
SO WHAT'S GOING ON
WITH YOU?
I'VE JUST BEEN FEELING
A LOT OF PRESSURE LATELY,
AND I HAVEN'T BEEN
HANDLING IT WELL.
IT'S MADE ME DO
SOME THINGS THAT
I SHOULDN'T BE
DOING, LIKE...
LIKE GETTING DRUNK
AND ARM-WRESTLING
FRAT GUYS?
[CHUCKLES]
YEAH. EXACTLY.
AND, YOU KNOW,
WITH YOU IN RECOVERY,
I SHOULDN'T--
YOU'RE ALLOWED TO BE
STUPID ONCE IN A WHILE.
HEY, JUST BE CAREFUL.
I DON'T WANT ANYTHING
TO HAPPEN TO YOU.
SO THIS IS WHERE
IT ALL HAPPENED?
YEAH. I WAS WALKING
RIGHT THERE WITH LIV.
TWO BULLETS.
ONE MISSED.
IF I WAS STANDING
RIGHT THERE,
I'D HAVE NO FUTURE.
DAMN. THAT BULLET
MISSED FOR
A REASON, MAN.
YOUR FUTURE'S
JUST TOO BRIGHT.
YEAH, I DON'T KNOW WHAT
IT'S GONNA BE, THOUGH.
I DO. YOU'RE
GONNA BE CATCHING
PASSES FROM ME
AT UCLA, BOY.
COACH DIDN'T ACCEPT
MY COMMITMENT, MAN.
WHAT ARE YOU
TALKING ABOUT?
I TRIED TO COMMIT.
HE SAID MY OFFER'S
ON HOLD RIGHT NOW
JUST LIKE ALL
THE OTHER COLLEGES.
THEY'RE GONNA WAIT
AND SEE HOW MY
INJURY HEALS UP.
DAMAGED GOODS.
LOOK, YO, IF YOU'RE
NOT GONNA COMMIT,
THEN I'M NOT--
NO. LOOK,
THE COACH IS--
HE WAS COOL
ABOUT IT, MAN.
HE'S A REAL
STAND-UP GUY.
AND I GET IT.
THEY ONLY GOT
25 SPOTS EACH YEAR.
THEY CAN'T WASTE ONE
ON ME IF I CAN'T PLAY.
YO, IT'S GONNA WORK OUT,
'CAUSE IT'S
ALL ABOUT HEART,
AND A BULLET AIN'T
TAKE THAT FROM YOU.
[DARNELL AND SPENCER CHATTERING]
RENEE: IT IS
ABOUT DAMN TIME.
SO WHO'S GONNA GO FIRST?
I KNOW THAT LOOK.
THIS AIN'T GONNA BE GOOD.
OH, NOBODY'S
TALKING, HUH?
OK, I GUESS
I'LL GO FIRST.
GRACE: NO, I'LL GO FIRST.
RENEE: I GOT THIS.
NO, I GOT THIS.
THIS IS MY HOUSE.
BOTH OF YOU
SIT. NOW.
COME ON. LET'S GO.
WHY YOU AIN'T MOVING?
COME ON.
MOVE IT. SIT DOWN!
NOW, WHAT IN THE HELL
MAKES YOU THINK
YOU CAN WALK INTO
MY HOUSE AT THIS HOUR?
SPENCER: MOM--
GRACE: DON'T YOU EVEN THINK
ABOUT OPENING YOUR MOUTH.
JUST BECAUSE
I ASK YOU A QUESTION
DOESN'T MEAN I WANT
TO HEAR YOUR VOICE.
DARNELL: YO...
SPENCER: NOPE. MM-MM.
GRACE: THERE IS NOTHING
THAT EITHER OF YOU COULD SAY
THAT WOULD JUSTIFY
THE DISRESPECT
YOU'VE SHOWN ME,
RENEE, OR MY HOUSE.
YOU HAVE ANYTHING
YOU WANT TO ADD?
NO. IT LOOKS LIKE
YOU GOT THIS.
BUT YOU KNOW WHAT?
I WANT TO HEAR
THE EXCUSE ANYWAY.
DON'T YOU
WANT TO KNOW, RENEE?
OH, I WANT
TO HEAR IT.
GRACE: SO, TELL US.
LOOK AT ME.
WHY WOULD YOU WALK IN HERE
WAY PAST YOUR CURFEW
WITHOUT SO MUCH AS
A PHONE CALL OR A TEXT?
SPEAK.
OH, I--I DIDN'T KNOW
IF I WAS ALLOWED
TO SPEAK.
RENEE: BOY...
-MM-MM.
-UH, WE WERE CELEBRATING.
I COMMITTED TO UCLA TODAY.
IT WAS ONE OF THE BIGGEST
MOMENTS OF MY LIFE, MOM.
DID YOU COMMIT, TOO?
I TRIED. THEY AIN'T GOT
A SPOT FOR ME RIGHT NOW.
OH, BABY.
IT'S OK.
SPENCER,
YOU ARE GOING TO
GET THROUGH
THIS INJURY,
AND WE'RE GONNA
BE THERE FOR YOU
EVERY STEP OF THE WAY.
ME, TOO.
IT WON'T FEEL
THE SAME WITHOUT
MY BROTHER THERE.
COME ON, MAN.
YOU AIN'T GOTTA
WORRY ABOUT ME.
AIN'T NOTHING
GONNA STOP ME
GETTING BACK TO THE PLAYER
I WAS, ALL RIGHT?
NOTHING. IT'S MY FUTURE.
WHY DON'T WE TALK
ABOUT THIS TOMORROW?
THANK YOU, GRACE.
GRACE: YOU BEEN DRINKING?
SPENCER: MM-MM.
SLAP DOWN HERE
A LITTLE MORE BASS.
HERE AND, UM--
COOP.
I'M SORRY FOR BAILING
ON YOU YESTERDAY.
DOES THIS MEAN
YOU CHANGED YOUR MIND?
THIS JUST
AIN'T WHO I AM.
I DON'T NEED
ALL THIS FANCY STUFF,
ALL THIS
EXPENSIVE EQUIPMENT.
IS THAT PETE?
LAYLA: YEAH.
COOP: NO OFFENSE,
BUT I DON'T NEED PETE.
OK. SORRY, PETE.
THIS IS WHO I AM.
THIS IS ALL I NEED,
ALL WE NEED.
I WANNA WORK
WITH YOU,
AND I THINK
WE CAN MAKE GREAT
STUFF TOGETHER.
CHECK THIS OUT.

RENEE.
HI.
I WANTED TO SAY
GOOD-BYE BEFORE LEAVING.
I GAVE DARNELL
MY BLESSING
TO STAY IN CRENSHAW
WITH YOU.
I MISJUDGED YOU, GRACE.
MY SON IS CLEARLY
IN WONDERFUL HANDS
LIVING UNDER THIS ROOF.
THANK YOU.
WE LOVE DARNELL.
[CHUCKLES]
I CAN TELL.
GRACE: DO YOU WANT TO COME IN?
RENEE: NO, NO.
BEFORE I GO,
A FEW YEARS AGO,
THERE WAS A SERVICEMAN
IN THE ARMY, FRIEND OF MINE.
HE WAS WOUNDED
DURING COMBAT.
SPINAL INJURY.
THEY TOLD HIM
TO TAKE HIS TIME
BEFORE COMING BACK,
BUT HE RUSHED BACK
WAY TOO SOON
AND REINJURED HIMSELF.
I REMEMBER HE HAD
THIS LOOK IN HIS EYES,
LIKE HE WOULDN'T
TAKE NO FOR AN ANSWER.
WHY ARE YOU
TELLING ME THIS?
BECAUSE LAST NIGHT,
I SAW THAT SAME LOOK
IN SPENCER'S EYES.
[GRUNTING]
HEY, SPENCER.
HEY!
COME ON, MAN.
THE DOCTOR SAID
LOW-IMPACT WORKOUTS.
I DON'T CARE WHAT
THE DOCTOR SAID, ALL RIGHT?
WELL, I DO.
I'MA PROVE THEM
ALL WRONG, COACH.
I'MA BE BETTER
THAN I EVER WAS.
BELIEVE THAT.
IN FACT, YOU CAN
PENCIL ME IN
THE STARTING LINEUP
FOR THAT JAMBOREE GAME
WE GOT COMING UP, ALL RIGHT?
LOOK, SPENCER, YOU KNOW
I CAN'T JUST--
LOOK. NO DISRESPECT,
BUT THIS AIN'T UP
FOR DISCUSSION.
MY BODY, MY CHOICE.
I JUST WANTED
TO LET YOU KNOW
I'LL BE BACK REAL SOON.
MAN: GREG, MOVE YOUR HEAD.
