And that's game.
[James] Oh, come on!
[sighs]
Oh, no. What are you doing? Stay focused!
[sighs] Such a stupid mistake.
[stutters]
It's okay. Look, you made a mistake.
Your head wasn't in the game.
And we worked on this.
But now it's up to you to pick yourself up
and prove that you can make the next play.
You got it, Dad.

[all chanting] Kai! Kai! Kai!
Way to make it happen, kiddo!
[chanting continues] Kai! Kai! Kai!
[breathing heavily]
Pickles, huddle up.
Pressure is like sugar.
Uh, you put a teaspoon in your coffee,
and it's just [kisses], uh, delicious.
But you overdo it, and, ew, gross!
[disgusted grunts]
Mm. Anyway, you all did great today.
But, I mean,
there is one person who did
Did the same level as all of you,
just fantastic, but better.
-Kai, oh, that game-winning catch!
-[all cheering]
Who, me?
-Hey, stand up. Come on.
-[all applauding]
Oh, you saved our butts out there.

All players, savin' butts.

We were losers before you joined!
[all] Mm-hmm.
[children chattering, laughing]
Gotta go. See you at school.
[Luciana's Mom laughs]
Dad!
We're going to the championship!
This is what we worked so hard for.
That's right. Now, look,
you made a great move in the outfield.
But next time, don't hesitate.
That fumble could've cost you the game.
I know, I know. No mistakes. Yeah, yeah.
But, like, we did it, Dad! We won!
Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.
Never rest on your laurels.
The details matter in baseball.
Ah, it's softball.
-That was a test. [chuckles]
-Was it?
-[Frank gasps]
-I told you, when we do somethin'
-Uh, uh, uh-huh.
-[grunts]
-[whistles]
-[crowd cheering]
-We do it big!
-We do it big!
[both chuckle]
Anyway, it happened.
The other parents want me to officially
help out next season with coaching.
What? Oh! We never talked about coaching.
[chuckles nervously]
We did not.
But I know
how much this team means to you.
Uh, uh, this is great.
-They messed up now.
-[chuckles]
It's about to go down.
[foreboding music playing]
-[indistinct chatter on tv]
-We won! We won, Ma.
You should've seen us out there.
I mean, we literally flew.
[chuckles] I'm hearing
an awful lot of "we."
-Were you out there, too?
-[chuckles]
-That's what I told him.
-Mm.
I wish I could've been there, baby.
Are you-- Are you watching
Real Princesses without me?
Sit down. Sit down.
-[woman on tv] Vile defamation!
-[chuckles]
-I was scared. What else was I to do?
-[chuckles]
I love seeing you happy, my Kai.
-[blows whistle]
-[both gasp]
Hey, let's go. You owe me a run.
[grunts, blows whistle]
Let her relax.
I'm good. Thanks, though.
Think you're a real hotshot now, huh?
[indistinct chatter on tv]
-Let's go, old man.
-[James] Oh, all righty.
[blows whistle]
[school bell ringing]
[uplifting music playing]
-Dang, girl, the fit goes hard.
-[chuckles]
Thank you.
[Frank] All right, folks,
this is the big one.
My lessons were very thorough
-Oh, please, Kai, sit here.
-Aw! Thanks.
Oh! [groans]
You have 20 minutes. Begin.
-[papers rustling]
-[pencils scribbling]
[Rochelle] Psst.
[whispering] Hey, Kai.
Pass this back to Tom.
[whispering] What? Are you serious? No.
Please, Kai. I need this.
[sighs] Give it here.
[both straining]
[both gasp]
Unacceptable!
No credit, detention,
and I'll be calling your guardians.
Why did I do that? So dumb. [groans]
[slow dramatic music playing]
[panting]
-[cell phone dings]
-Oh.
-Hey, Laurie, wanna practice?
-Uh
-Come on.
-Okay.
[ball thuds]
Again. Again! Again!
[groans in exasperation]
I, uh, think this is supposed to be fun?
I just feel like I've got to be better.
[sighs]
I just wanna be on a team,
but my dad is like,
"Be the best. Be the best."
Yeah, me, too.
But, like, about my dad?
My mom and dad
aren't together anymore and, uh
-Let's go.
-Yes.
Again.
[groans]
Hey, you good?
Yeah. Your turn.
You can do it, Laurie. Just make contact.
[grunts] Ah!
Prove you deserve it. Don't be a burden.
This is your opportunity.
You have to be better.
-[grunts]
-[grunts]
[yelps]
-Kai? Kai?
-Kai. Kai!
-Kai, are you okay?
-Kai! Oh, no.
OMG. Kai, I'm so sorry.
-Where does it hurt? What happened?
-Who-- Who are you?
Oh, no, she has a concussion.
She has a swollen brain! Oh, no.
[chuckling] Nah, I'm messin'. I'm messin'.
-[Coach Dan] Really?
-[Kai] I'm good, Coach.
-Like, really?
-Yeah, I actually feel perfect.
[Coach Dan] Oh, thank goodness.
Looks like we still might have a chance
at the championship.
And and glad you're okay.
[Kai] It's not that bad.
It's not-- It's not that bad?
Your teacher said you cheated.
-How is that, "not bad"?
-Dad, I was trying to help a teammate.
-You call this helping?
-James. James!
When you were little,
the things you got into
-This isn't about me.
-I'm just sayin',
-this is kind of a double standard.
-Mom, I got this.
When you fail, people don't just forget.
Everyone will put your actions under
a microscope just because of who you are.
You're not just representing yourself,
you know.
[sighs] Does this actually matter to you?
Yes, Dad. No more mistakes. I promise.
Good. Now, be the leader
that your team needs.
[crowd cheering]
I'm done. We're done.
Taylor. Where are you going?
We're in the middle of a game.
[cries]
-Yuwen, get your head in the game.
-[Kai] Yuwen! Snap out of it.
No! Yuwen, what are you
Softball's dramatic. I like this.
Get the ball. Get it!
Tom, go home!
[indistinct shouting]
[grunts]
[groans]
[Tom] Huh? Oh!
[panting]
You're out.
-I did it! I mean, we did it!
-[crowd cheering]
Oh!
-[Grandma trilling] Great job, baby!
-You see how we do? We be killin' it.
-MVP! MVP! MVP!
-[Borna] That was close.
-[Luciana] Where did Taylor go?
-[Tom] That was crazy.
I started running and then Kai was like,
"Run!" And I'm like, "Okay!"
[horn tooting]
Come on. Last inning, people.
Let's make some noise.
-We're down by one.
-Laurie, you're up.
-[Tom] Well, we're doomed.
-[all] No.
-[player] No
-[Borna] We tried.
-We're done. Good job. Pack it up.
-[Hannah] No
Hey. None of that.
Too many people
have sacrificed to get us here.
We, we owe it to them.
We owe it to ourselves.
So, get off of your butts and cheer.
-[bat cracks]
-[all gasp]
-[Frank] Laurie!
-Oh, my gosh.
Oh, my gosh.
It's okay. I'm here, sweetheart.
-You okay?
-Take your base.
-What?
-[all cheering]
-[team members cheering on]
-[chuckles]
[all] We got ice!
-She did it.
-[Luciana] Kai! Kai, Kai, Kai, you're up.
-Oh, my God.
-[player] We actually have a shot at this.
I got you all.
[crowd cheering]
No pressure.
-[winces]
-[Coach Dan] Kai.
Hey, champ. Really give it to the ball.
This is your opportunity.
[dramatic music playing]
[grunts]
Strike one.
Oh, come on. That was a ball.
[grunts]
Strike two.
What strike zone are you lookin' at?
Do not let them
take this game away from you.
[echoing] Hit the ball!
[Pickles team chanting] Kai! Ka! Kai!
