Big Shot (2021) s01e04 Episode Script

1
Previously on Big Shot
By the end of this year, we are
going to be in Division II.
- Where we going?
- DII!
It would be an incredible achievement,
but you realize that if we make it,
we're gonna have our asses
handed to us for a while?
Welcome to Westbrook, Ms. Korn.
Everybody in! Selfie.
- You have like a million followers.
- 149,000.
But I'm working on it.
I'm doing a video profile on your dad.
Journalistic integrity demands
I get the story from all angles.
I'm actually down. I do have
some things to say about him.
Lance Armstrong.
O.J. Simpson.
Marvyn Korn.
These are the fallen heroes of sports,
the faces that have
crushed the American spirit.
I'm Harper Schapira.
When I first set out to make
my latest faculty Scha-profile,
I wanted to hold Marvyn Korn accountable
for this.
Then I landed a very special interview,
which made me realize
I was asking "What?"
when the real question was "Why?"
Why did Marvyn Korn throw it
all away by throwing that chair?
We begin by hearing from
the people who know him best.
Why did he throw it?
Because the ref made a bad call.
He really hates that.
He said his dad called him an
embarrassment when he was a kid.
So, maybe that messed him up.
- Come on.
- I think he was trying to prove something.
I mean, I don't know exactly what,
but it was definitely not nothing.
Drilling down into that double negative,
it's clear that Marvyn was definitely
out to prove something.
But what?
Speaking as a licensed
mental health professional,
it wouldn't be ethical for
me to discuss Mr. Korn.
But I would say it's textbook
narcissistic personality disorder,
along with impulse control issues.
Maybe.
But Marvyn's daughter,
Emma, begs to differ.
And what she said changed the
very course of this Scha-profile.
He's not the monster
they make him out to be.
After the chair thing, he
Emma?
It changed him. I mean, I'd
never seen my dad cry before.
But after his dad died
Emma?
I just wish he knew how
much people loved him.
How much I love him.
He's so much more sensitive and
- I don't know, delicate
- Emma! Emma!
- What?
- Have you seen this?
Mm-hmm. I think it was pretty good.
- You think it's pretty good?
- Uh-huh.
- It makes me look
- Like an actual human being?
No. Weak. Why did you do this?
You were so upset about
moving past the chair stuff,
but you weren't doing anything
about it, so I wanted to help.
All right. Tell me how did
she get you to say all that?
She didn't get me to say
anything. I told the truth.
You're not the awful character
the media created.
I created that character!
I've spent my whole career
building an image
of strength and invincibility
- You're eating now?
- Dad.
Strength and invincibility. That's
what gives a coach his power.
But it's a lie.
People need to know that
you care. Because you do.
- Okay, good. Thank you.
- You're welcome.
Thank you very much.
I'm shutting this down.
Shutting what down? The Internet?
- Just watch the rest of the video.
- No.
- I'm telling you, it's good.
- I hate it.
Mmm, I loved it. You were
kind, warm, vulnerable, even.
Yeah. It's a hatchet job.
And that weird kid
- Harper.
- Harper.
She set up my daughter.
"Marvyn Korn's daughter"
is the last thing
I want people to think
about her, not the first.
Marvyn, she is always
going to be your daughter.
Now that is a blessing and
curse she cannot escape.
She needs to find her own
identity, outside of me.
Ooh, that may be the smartest
thing you've said this morning.
And, you know, it wouldn't be
the worst thing in the world
for the parents here to
think you have a soul.
Not to mention the teachers.
I'm not trying to win
a popularity contest.
- I don't care what they think about me.
- Well, I do.
Besides, nobody watches Harper's videos.
She does stories on mathletes and
vegan options in the cafeteria.
God bless her.
She's trying to be a journalist in
a world full of BuzzFeed quizzes.
Nobody's gonna see the damn thing.
- You think?
- Mmm.
All right. Okay.
- It was definitely not what I was expecting.
- Right?
Then the part where his mom
died when he was eight
and the music got all sad.
Harper's a great filmmaker.
It was kind of nice to see
that side of Coach.
- I was surprised you did that interview.
- Well, he's my dad.
- It's so weird to think of him as a dad.
- Eh, I can see it.
This video might be the best
thing to happen to Coach.
Don't tell him that. He thinks
it's ruining his brand.
He wants people to think
he's a cold robot?
He wants people to think
he's strong and intimidating.
I do not understand guys.
Is it an ego thing or
Maybe Olive can help him with his brand.
Where is she?
She said she had a business
meeting off campus.
Who has business meetings
in high school?
What even is her life?
Amazing workout, you guys!
That's how you earn
the perfect beach body.
Now, I'm gonna finish it off
with some laps in my pool.
Be sure to leave a comment about
which workout you wanna see next.
You're a natural. Smart. Gorgeous.
Everything Hana Kea Swimwear is
looking for in collab partners.
I'm super excited to work with you guys.
A little gift from us.
- This is, like, $2,000 worth of swimwear.
- Just the beginning.
I won't lie. You could be
the face of our brand.
Our standard contract for all
of our partner influencers.
So, I just wear the suits in my videos?
And say how much you like them.
Ooh!
Can't forget the most important
part. Your collab fee.
Welcome to the Hana Kea family.
How about a selfie to celebrate?
- Oh, you don't have to ask me twice.
- Okay.
- Say Hana Kea.
- Hana Kea.
"Loving Hana Kea. So proud
to be a part of this family".
Damn, Olive, you're gonna
have so much money
even before your trust fund kicks in.
You can move out of your parents'
beach house and get your own.
They said I might become
the face of the brand.
Have you read all these comments?
People are talking a lot
of trash about Hana Kea.
"Sweatshop labor? No, thank you.
Do your homework, Olive".
Oh, and another.
"Hana Kea workers are
basically starving".
Well, there's always
gonna be a few trolls.
It's more than a few.
It's more than half.
I'm just a spokesperson.
They can't blame me for that stuff.
Um, I think they can, and they are.
Besides, Hana Kea sucks.
The bikini I bought faded
after three washes.
Well, that does it.
Louise's minor inconvenience
once again shines light
on important social justice issues.
Shut up. They ripped me off.
You mean they ripped your parents off?
'Cause you don't pay for anything.
- I dunno, Olive. This is bad.
- What are you gonna do?
I already signed the deal,
so, I mean, what can I do?
Hmm.
Oh, no.
I'm so sorry.
Looks like you're going to
have to make a fresh pot.
I figured you as more of a
"spot of tea" type person.
What a grand idea!
Hmm.
Ooh, spot of tea.
Hmm.
- Hey, Coach.
- Hmm?
I saw the video.
- Powerful.
- Yeah.
Terri, did you see the
Scha-profile on Marvyn?
And spend 15 extra
minutes with Mr. Korn?
That video, that was
all made up, that stuff.
Sure seemed like she did her research.
I mean, that sad picture of
you with your little lambie
- That was in there?
- Yeah. I thought you watched it.
I enjoyed seeing you in your glory days.
My glory days aren't over.
I'm taking this team to DII.
Then you must be thrilled
Laguna's losing Savannah Gibson.
What? They are?
Yeah, Carlsbad Prep's recruiting her.
Laguna's gonna be a whole lot
easier to beat when she's gone.
Recruiting? That's legal?
Perfectly. It's a private high school.
They can do whatever they want.
- Come on. Be tough.
- Get there.
Ah.
Come on. Bring it back. Bring it back.
Hey. I know how we're gonna get to DII.
Practice is great, Coach.
Thanks for asking.
Bringing in the boys was
a really good idea.
Yeah, it was a good idea.
Did you hear Laguna's losing
Savannah Gibson?
Yeah. She's going to Carlsbad.
No, she's coming here, and
she's gonna help us win.
Post up, Gruzinsky! Post up.
You're smart to get rid of it. 'Cause
you're not gonna score on me.
Yeah, right. Anytime I want.
In your face.
Good, Gruzinsky. Go! Bring
it back, Gruzinsky, back.
You're not really suggesting we
recruit Savannah Gibson, are you?
Suggesting? I'm saying
we're gonna do it.
Oh. Okay.
- You don't agree?
- I mean, what's it matter?
You've clearly made up your mind.
If we have Savannah Gibson, we
will dominate. Don't you get it?
I'm not engaging.
Don't be lazy.
- You're talking about me, aren't you?
- Of course not.
Don't cut corners.
Okay.
- Cheaters never win.
- Give me that.
So, you're saying, by recruiting
the best player in the region,
that we're cutting corners
and we're cheating and
- What was the other one you said?
- Oh, lazy.
Practice is over, ladies. Bring it in.
Ms. Korn. What are you doing here?
Waiting for my dad to finish practice.
- He's my ride.
- Hmm.
Bet you'd love to find something
more interesting
to do than just waiting for your dad.
It's hard to imagine anything
more interesting than that.
So, what were some of the things
you liked to do at your other school?
I don't know. Just usual stuff.
I guess I was Dulcinea in Man
of La Mancha first semester.
Okay. Come with me.
Yeah, come on. Right now.
"Oh, what a to-do to die today
at a minute or two till two.
A thing distinctly hard to
say yet harder still to do".
Répétez.
Miss Goodwyn! Wonderful news.
I have discovered an
incandescent ingenue for you.
Really? Who?
Meet Emma Korn. She'll
be joining the play.
- She will?
- I will?
She will.
Her Dulcinea in Man of La Mancha
won her the coveted Kevin Award.
That's the, uh, the Tony of the
Wisconsin public high schools.
Well, of course, I'm familiar,
and we would love to have her,
but unfortunately, all
the roles have been cast.
Oh, that's okay.
Did you know that Miss
Goodwyn is so talented
that she wrote this play herself?
Well, actually it's a
cowritten adaptation.
A gender-flipped Macbeth.
A she-make, if you will.
Beth Macbeth.
Wholly in keeping with our mission
to reframe the stale patriarchy
through female eyes.
That sounds cool.
If by "cool", you mean "groundbreaking",
then I gladly accept your compliment.
Which is why a playwright
with your gifts
can easily add a role for Emma.
I don't want her to
compromise her vision.
Not to mention Mr. Shakespeare's.
I think that once he signed off
on the concept of "Beth Macbeth",
throwing in a Guard Three shouldn't
cause you any "toil" or "trouble".
Oh!
Touché, Ms. Thomas.
That's why you're an executive producer.
Eh, that is not why.
But I look forward to
what you two cook up.
So let's get to cookin'.
Oh
Wonderful.
I'll be done with practice
around 5:30 or so,
if you wanna come hang out in
my office, do your homework.
That's okay. Actually, I have
play rehearsal this afternoon.
Play rehearsal? Really,
you're in a play?
Yeah, it was Ms. Thomas's idea.
I thought I'd try it out.
Seemed like she wanted me
to get involved in something.
- That's great.
- Yeah.
If it's something you
wanted to do. I mean,
Sherilyn can be a little bossy.
- Dad, it's rude to call women bossy.
- Got it.
She's cool. And isn't she,
like, literally your boss?
Technically. Technically, she's my boss.
I'm glad to hear Emma's
enjoying the play.
As for Savannah, we'd love to
have a player of her caliber,
but I hear she's down the
road with Carlsbad Prep.
Let me worry about that.
I once got a commitment from
the best guard in the country
while he was literally sitting
in the coach's office at Kansas.
I'm great in the living room.
Be careful, you don't pop your shoulder
patting yourself on the back.
Okay, just let me know how it goes.
I'm gonna
To do this, I'm gonna need
Okay, okay. Mm-hmm.
Let help you with the words.
- "I need"
- I need
" a scholarship".
Yes. That's what I need.
I mean, I can't make her parents
an offer then stick 'em with an invoice.
I mean, you could.
A man who once convinced
a coach in Kansas
to guard his office, or
whatever you just said,
I'm thinking that dude
could work miracles.
- Fine. You can have it.
- Thanks.
Okay, you guys.
The last couple days have
been super stressful.
Quick version, Hana Kea
Swimwear asked me
to model their gear in my videos.
But I'm not gonna do it, because,
truth bomb, Hana Kea is bad.
They make their suits in sweatshops
where they don't pay the
workers a living wage.
So I won't stand here
in a Hana Kea suit.
I stand with their workers.
BeingReal, ♪CancelHanaKea.
- What do you think?
- Killed it.
Posting it now.
I'm really proud of you.
I don't know if I would
have the guts to do that.
I have to be real.
My followers depend
on me for quality recs.
- What about the money they gave you?
- Tore up the check.
You did the right thing.
Companies get away with
this stuff all the time.
No one holds them accountable.
I mean, they can't take advantage
of us if we call 'em out.
Thanks, guys.
- I feel good about it.
- You should.
- Did you guys finish the homework?
- Yep.
No.
- It's blowing up!
- Oh, my
And Dylan saw it.
So, now he's all over your
friends' Instas too?
- He's obsessed with you.
- Definitely.
- Shut up.
- No.
- He's been into you for 7 1/2 years.
- That is very specific, Mouse.
Stop acting like you don't
wanna smooch him.
Oh, my God. Your maturity
level's off the charts.
Well, you're feeling awfully confident.
Oh, yeah. I'm great in the living room.
They're coming to the school.
It's just a saying. You know that.
Oh, what's with the ring?
This is the year we beat North Carolina.
It's my good luck charm.
- Nice.
- Wait till you see me in action.
You're gonna love it.
Oh. Yeah. I'm not gonna be there.
You're still hung up on all this?
Marvyn, you're trying to rig the game
by stealing a student
from another school.
No, no, no, no, no. No.
I'm stealing a student from a school
who's trying to steal
her first. Big difference.
Recruiting a ringer's the easy way out.
We should win with the
players that we have.
We're gonna win. We're
just gonna win more often.
How can you not see this?
I see it. I
I lived it.
I was that player who was
replaced with a big recruit,
and I'm just telling you
that it's a confidence killer.
Look, any team would love to play
with the best player they can.
- Don't you see that?
- Yeah, any college team.
This is high school. Feelings matter.
The girls are gonna be upset. I
But you want to do it.
Sherilyn said it's okay.
So have at it.
So I turned to him, I said, "Coach K.
You know I love you, Mike. I really do.
But that last name, you know
Can I buy a vowel?"
- Wait a minute. That was the Final Four?
- That's right. 2012.
Duke was the top seed at the dance.
I dropped us into a box-and-one.
We smothered their point
guard, kept them at 58.
They went home. We moved on.
- I saw that game. It was pretty amazing.
- Oh, yeah.
And this here is our
state-of-the-art cafeteria.
In-house chef, vegan
options every single day.
Hmm. Get a load of
that salad bar, honey.
Mm-hmm.
Seeing how many likes the salad bar has.
What are likes?
Tell you later.
Was that Coach with Savannah Gibson?
Why's he acting all smiley?
You don't think he's recruiting her?
No, I heard she's going to Carlsbad.
He's probably just giving her
a tour of the school.
For no reason?
And now, I like to let our
home court speak for itself.
How would you like
this to be your house?
It's nice.
I know it may be a little hard
for you to imagine being here
so maybe this will help.
Whoa.
They got your number.
Savannah, you see that?
Yeah, 'cause I'm standing here.
- Okay, go You have this
- Oh. Thank you.
Yeah. There you go.
Now, listen. If you listen carefully,
you can almost hear the crowd
chanting your name. Do you hear it?
- Savannah, Savannah
- Listen.
- Savannah, Savannah
- You hear it?
- Savannah, Savannah
- I hear it.
Well, this is all nice,
but they had most of these
things at Carlsbad too.
Wait, wait. I'm not done.
Okay, Coach, you need to understand
that we have a plan here.
Now, Savannah's going to UConn.
She'll be a WNBA first round pick,
sign a max deal, plus endorsements,
then, in the off-season, make
ten times that amount overseas.
- That's a good plan.
- That's God's plan.
Even better.
If she comes to Westbrook,
she's gonna be positioned
perfectly for all that.
Westbrook is a DIII school.
Carlsbad is DI.
Yes, they are.
Play at Carlsbad, you win, it's fine.
But you're just next in line
to a long list of great players.
But if you play here,
and if you win here
you're a legend.
Legend.
Now, how are you gonna
pay for all this, you ask?
Savannah, we are giving you a full ride.
And?
Coach,
Carlsbad's offer was a
little more, um, serious.
Yes, they seemed to, um,
have a better grasp on
certain needs that we have.
Transportation, for example.
A car.
A nice car.
And certain educational cultural
immersion opportunities.
Tropical cultural immersions.
- Vacations.
- Mm-hmm.
Coach, there's money coming
out of the floorboards here.
This should be easy.
Yeah, look All that stuff is fine.
And if I'm Carlsbad, I'm
giving her jet skis and tigers.
You know, anything she wants.
But do you know why they do that?
Because they have to.
Because they don't have me.
Now, when I'm done with her, she's
gonna be ready to torch the NCAA.
She's gonna be a better
version of herself
on the floor and off the floor.
You wanna play for cash and
prizes, good. Go to Carlsbad.
But if you want to be a winner,
you come to Westbrook.
And if you want be the best, you
need to be coached by the best.
And I am the best.
Well, you were.
I mean, no offense, Coach,
but if you're such a winner,
why're you coaching
at a DIII high school?
Coach, it's not that we think
you have nothing to offer.
I mean, you used to be Marvyn Korn.
Jack, I still am Marvyn Korn.
Well, the way we see it, Coach,
is Savannah helps you
a whole lot more than you help her.
And, well, there's only one
coach that's gonna land her.
So, if you want to play in this
game, you need to play to win.
- Okay?
- Okay.
Well, I think we're done here.
Honey.
Forget it.
I already gave you the
scholarship. That's it.
That's not gonna get it done.
Carlsbad's backing up the money
truck and leaving the keys.
I'm not entering an arms race over this.
You said you were great in
the living room, remember?
I was sitting here, you
were sitting there,
you said, "Oh, I'm great
in the living room".
Hell, I could be great
in the living room too
if I could hand out cars full
of cash and trips to Hawaii.
But that's a line I've never crossed.
And neither have you,
or so I've been told.
- Correct?
- Damn right. Correct.
Okay, so if you played it clean,
how did you land all
those great players?
- 'Cause I used to be Marvyn Korn.
- Right.
And all of those players were tripping
over themselves to play for that guy.
But now?
I'll be damned if I get out-recruited
by some high school coach.
You better figure out how
to be Marvyn Korn again.
Because the bank of Westbrook is closed.
Cool, I'll text you her number.
You're the man, Garnett.
I appreciate it.
I just want you to put
in a good word. That's it.
Thanks, Jerry.
That's why you are the logo man.
If you could just say a
few nice things to her.
You're the man, Steph, thanks.
I know it's a big ask,
but I really appreciate it.
Yeah, her name is Savannah.
I'll text you her number.
Cool, thank you.
No idea.
Hey, Coach. You got a second to ta
- Is Savannah Gibson coming here?
- Yeah, I'm working on it.
But, uh, it's looking good.
Wait. That's my I'm number 11.
Am I being cut?
What? No, no one's being cut.
So much for no stars on our team.
There are no stars on our team.
And there won't be
any stars on our team.
So, we all get giant banners?
Look, Savannah She's not
gonna come here and take over.
She's a talented player,
but she's a team player.
She'll fold right in.
Don't worry about it.
Aren't we enough?
It's not about Look, nobody
turns down firepower.
It's She's just gonna
make everyone better
Girls, I'm doing this for you.
That's funny. It feels like
you're doing it to us.
All right, ladies. Let's
Let's go stretch. Get
ready for practice.
- Go ahead. Say it.
- Say what?
You know what you wanna say. Say it.
Marvyn, I have no idea
what you're talking about.
- Really?
- Yeah.
Told ya.
And blocked.
- Who was that?
- This lady from Hana Kea.
She's called, like, six times.
- She probably wants you to take that post down.
- Not happening.
- Don't you think you should at least talk to her?
- Why?
I mean, you dumped 'em over Insta,
which was, like, pretty badass,
but that's like breaking up via text.
So? I got a ton of supportive comments.
I am done with them.
Guys, am I overthinking this
whole jersey number thing?
'Cause I feel like it's
kind of a bad sign.
No. It's a terrible sign.
Um,
Why is he recruiting players
from outside of Westbrook?
I don't know. It's a college thing.
All the coaches do it,
like it's part of the game.
Well, it's stupid.
Yeah, and why Savannah
Gibson? She's the enemy.
- She's gonna be a teammate now?
- She's a ball hog.
I heard her teammates can't stand her.
But she's an amazing player. She
could get us into Division II.
We will get us into Division II.
- Thank you.
- You think Savannah's the end of it?
Mouse, what happens when Coach
decides that we need a new point guard
and comes for your position?
- Or number.
- Would he do that?
Hey, keep me out of this.
I really don't know.
He doesn't talk to me about this stuff.
Oh, my God. By this time next year,
we could have a whole new starting five.
- I can just feel it.
- Okay, relax.
For now, it's just one forward.
Savannah's either gonna
replace me or Destiny.
- Let's be real. It will probably be me.
- Yeah, it'll be you.
Any of us could ride the bench.
Like Emma said, we're all replaceable.
I never said that. Please
don't bring me into this.
Is that the swimsuit company again?
No.
My mom wants me to come home. Now.
- This is crazy.
- I know.
- What's going on
- Who is Katrina from Hana Kea Swimwear?
She called threatening to sue for
defamation and breach of contract.
What? Look, that can't be right.
You signed a contract
without telling us?
And then slandered the company
after taking their money?
No, they
They're making swimsuits
in sweatshops
- How could you be so irresponsible?
- And what is this?
Olive-U-Fitness?
That isn't your house.
That isn't your life.
- I know that.
- You know that.
But you're so ashamed of us you
pretend you don't even live here.
Is this why you never
invite friends over?
Look, it's not like that.
I'm creating a brand. It inspires
people to want what I have.
But you don't have it.
This is because of that school.
The values there are
completely out of whack.
And we're killing ourselves,
working overtime, just to put you there.
- Yeah, well, that's done. You're out.
- Out?
At the end of the semester,
you're transferring.
That's not fair! Mom?
You put this on yourself.
And give me your phone.
You're off social media.
What?
So, did you find a way
to get Savannah Gibson?
- You bet I did.
- Great.
Did you buy her a new car, or
are you gonna give her ours?
Oh, stop it.
No, I called in some favors.
She's gonna be hearing
from some big names
that she'd be crazy to pass
up being at Westbrook
with the famous Emma Korn.
Ow.
I think the girls on the
team are really upset.
And what makes you think that?
'Cause they just complained for
an hour about how upset they are.
Well, they're gonna have to get over it.
I'm not gonna lose the best player
in the region to Carlsbad.
So, that's what all this
is about? Winning?
You're damn right it is.
You should finish watching the video.
Really.
After his college playing career ended,
Marvyn gave this interview
to Radio Sport Budapest.
I mean, I just love to play.
I mean, these guys, my teammates,
we barely speak each other's languages,
but we share the passion for the game.
Every morning I wake up excited
thinking about what I get to do all day.
I'd play basketball even
if they didn't pay me.
If I washed out in Hungary,
I'd go to Siberia.
And if they don't want me there,
then I'll find a pickup game at the Y.
If there wasn't one there, then
there's still a hoop
in my dad's driveway.
You know, I just love the game.
But if that's who Marvyn Korn is,
why did he throw it all away?
He himself gave us the answer
his first year as a coach.
It can't just be about winning because
if all you care about is winning,
then that's the only thing
that brings you joy.
What do you do when you lose?
What do you do when you lose?
You throw it all away.
Marvyn Korn started
caring only about winning
and forgot his love of the game.
But perhaps he's rediscovering
it now, here at Westbrook.
He told us we had the
potential to be great.
And I believe him.
Basketball used to be
just a checkbox for me.
But now I can't wait
to get on the court.
He really believes in us.
He thinks that our little group
can go all the way.
So, they're really gonna
pull you out of Westbrook?
Yeah.
End of semester. It's really bad.
I was afraid of this happening
when you posted that video.
Oh, please. You knew Hana Kea
was gonna call her parents,
threaten to sue and get her
kicked out of school?
They run sweatshops. I don't
know what they're capable of.
I should've told you not to post it.
No. It's my fault.
I messed up.
If your parents are so
worried about being sued,
can't they just write a check
and make it go away?
They
They don't have that kind of money.
Olive, we've seen your house on Insta.
Yeah, but you've never
been there, have you?
Because I don't live there.
It's just some mansion on
the beach I film in front of.
- Wait, what?
- What does that even mean?
So, where do you live?
I live a little closer to San Diego.
And that's why I'm always
here so early, to beat traffic.
Uh, okay, and what, you were
just never gonna mention this?
Were you embarrassed
to tell us the truth?
Yeah. Like, this is so
I don't even
I guess it started with the
picture of that Celine bag
my grandparents got me
when I got into Westbrook.
It got way more likes than
I'd ever gotten before.
And then I took a picture
in front of that huge house,
and I got tons more followers,
and it just felt good.
Until I realized everyone thought
that's who I actually was,
and I didn't know how
to take it all back.
I just got so caught up in it all.
I know I messed up.
I lied to you guys.
Well, it's not a lie lie.
I mean, it's Instagram.
I Facetune my pics all the time.
I whiten my teeth in
basically every post.
Yeah, but that's not really
the same thing, is it?
That shot of me with Hillary
Clinton? Wax museum.
We know. You geotagged it.
I'm sorry.
Guess I just wanted people
to think I belonged here.
You do belong here.
Yeah. So you had the
"fake house filter" on.
Who cares? I don't.
I do.
'Cause she's basically saying that
we wouldn't wanna hang out
with her if she wasn't rich.
- That's gross.
- No, it's not it at all. I
Destiny, chill.
Olive, it's okay.
We've got your back. We're
gonna figure something out.
Holly?
- Holly!
- What? I'm here.
Hey, I figured it out. I know
what to do with Savannah.
- Oh, no. I don't wanna hear it.
- It involves you.
I don't care. I don't want to
have anything to do with it.
It doesn't matter. You're coming
with me. You're gonna like it.
Come on. Come on.
I know Carlsbad made you an offer,
but I'm gonna make you a better one.
Now there's a reason why I've recruited
so many great players over the years.
It's because I never
bribed them. Not once.
All I had to offer was a chance
to play the game you love
with the best players,
the best coaching team,
at the best school.
So that's my offer.
Nothing. Not even a scholarship.
Just us.
So, what did the Gibsons say?
Well, they said, "No way".
No, what they actually said
was "No bleeping way".
Wow, is that the reaction you expected?
It was. Yeah, I wasn't surprised.
It's just who they are.
Wait, I thought you wanted
Savannah for the team.
I did initially.
But then I realized that it might
be something I was gonna regret.
But thanks to your daughter here
and the other girls on the team
and Coach Barrett here
and, weirdly enough, this
stupid little video that I did
- We saw that.
- It was really revealing.
Right.
The point is that they
helped me realize
that I was losing my way.
That I wanted Savannah
for all the wrong reasons.
But I want Olive to stay
for the right reasons.
And I think she wants
to stay as well. Right?
I definitely do.
Now, Olive told us that you are working
overtime just to keep her in school.
Yeah, I get that. My
parents did the same.
It isn't easy.
I can't even remember the last time
we were able to get to a game.
Yeah, well, that is why we
wanna offer Olive a full ride.
I mean, we appreciate it.
- Really.
- But?
But Westbrook
just isn't working for Olive
or our family anymore.
What?
You have concerns about the values
and how they might
affect your daughter
Not how they might, how they are.
The whole "look at me" culture.
It's not the school, Mom. It was me.
Was it you?
Because when we saw you online,
we felt like we were
looking at a stranger.
And that scared us.
We don't even know who you are anymore.
Well, I do.
If I may
Look, it It's easy for her to hide
who she is behind Instagram.
But one thing I've learned
being a coach all these years is
you can't hide who you are on the court.
Now, your daughter here,
she's always the first one
to pass to a teammate,
even though she knows she has the shot.
She hustles when she's gassed.
She brings her A game
when nobody's watching.
Your daughter here,
she's a heart with legs.
And I would've loved to have
been a teammate of yours.
And I love coaching you.
And I'd really appreciate it if you
allow me to continue to coach her.
I know this isn't just about money,
but I can't afford to lose Olive.
Let me get this straight. You pulled
the offer for Savannah Gibson.
- Yes.
- Mm-mmm.
And instead gave the
scholarship to Olive,
who's already a student here.
Olive's parents are killing themselves
trying to pay tuition.
What I gave Olive was
time with her family.
Uh-huh. Bottom line, it cost
me a full-ride scholarship,
not to get a game-changing new player
but to keep one we already had.
- Exactly.
- Hmm.
- You're quite the master negotiator.
- Thank you.
Not a compliment.
And what about this Hana Kea thing?
None of that played into this?
- You heard about that?
- Korn, please.
Well, yeah, it sorta played part in it.
They're still threatening a lawsuit,
but they haven't heard from me.
Oh, let's let them hear
from you right now.
This is Coach Korn from
Westbrook. I'm here with
Sherilyn Thomas, Head
of Students at Westbrook.
We hear you have a pending lawsuit
with one of our students, Olive Cooper.
Oh, I'm sorry. I'm not
at liberty to discuss
any litigation.
Great. Then you'll be
at liberty just to listen.
Westbrook has a very prestigious law
firm on a very expensive retainer,
and they're just itching
for something to do.
Not to mention all the army
of parents with law degrees,
who would do anything to
protect these students.
If we were to tell them
about your lawsuit,
they would probably take you
down just for the sport of it.
Do you feel where I'm
going with this, Katrina?
Can you sense the size of the
catastrophe that's about to befall you?
I'm tickled just thinking about it.
All righty. Be blessed. Talk soon, dear.
Yeah, we showed her.
What?
I haven't been honest with you guys.
The truth is, my life is not
all perfect beach days.
I'm not rich.
My family is just normal.
Probably kinda like yours.
I thought I had to be somebody
different for you all to like me.
But I was wrong.
I'm enough.
We're all enough.
How was that?
It was perfect.
Now give me my phone back.
- Oh! Uh, sorry, I was just, um
- Excuse me.
Mr. Korn.
Um
I spent a semester in Budapest
for my master's program.
You saw the video on me.
I did. Yeah.
Uh, you know, I might
have misjudged you.
I'm not saying that I like you.
But perhaps I don't like
you just a tiny bit less.
Tiny bit.
Hmm. Hmm.
Bye, fake number 11.
It's not bye forever. We have
Carlsbad in two weeks.
Well, she better come to play
because we are going to bring it.
I'll see you guys later.
- Hey, Coach.
- Hi.
My folks got this for you.
My dad owns a bakery.
Well, much appreciated
and totally unnecessary.
Craziest thing
Hana Kea just dropped
the lawsuit. I wonder why.
I have no idea. But
it's a good thing, right?
I'm going to celebrate
by eating one of these.
- Tell your folks thanks.
- I'll see them later.
- We're grabbing dinner after practice.
- Yeah? Special occasion?
Yeah. Tuesday.
I don't really have time for this.
Go, ladies. Go.
Five minutes till rehearsal.
If you've not done your vocal warm-ups,
you won't be cheating
anybody else but yourself.
And your castmates. And me.
And Mr. Shakespeare.
"What a to-do to die today
at a minute or two to two.
A thing distinctly hard to
say yet harder still to do".
"What a to-do to"
How're you doing? Here, I brought
you a poppy seed muffin.
Hmm. That's unsanitary.
So, how's play practice going?
- Um, it's rehearsal
- Mm-hmm.
and it's my first one.
And it hasn't started yet.
Why are you here? Don't you
have basketball rehearsal?
Yes, I do. Pretty soon.
I just wanna, you know,
check out your things.
Oh.
You don't usually show a lot of
interest in, you know, my things.
Well, I'm here now.
- Wanna go to dinner after?
- Sure.
Boys.
- Who What Why are they here?
- They're in the play.
Um, I think they come
from our brother school.
Okay, so rehearsal is starting.
So you should probably go.
Yeah. Yeah, totally.
You know, why don't
I count to 100 first?
You know that thing you like me to do?
"Can you count to 100?"
I'm just gonna do that.
One
Two
- Hey.
- Hey.
Three.
