IN HIS VALENTINE'S-DAY SPEED-DATING EVENT.
WHY WOULD HE ASK YOU TO DO THAT IF HE KNOWS WE'RE A COUPLE?
MESSING WITH ME. - BECAUSE HE'S - WELL,
I MEAN, W-WHAT ARE YOU GONNA DO?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN? I HAVE NO CHOICE.
I TOLD HIM I WOULD PARTICIPATE IN HIS STUPID SPEED-DATING EVENT.
[JORDAN SIGHS] LAYLA: HMM.

OK? AND TAKE NOTES.
YOU'LL THANK ME LATER. I GOTTA GO.

WITH SOME STUDENTS ABOUT A FEW OPEN SPOTS
TO AUDIT HIS CLASS. LOOKIN' LIKE A GOOD IDEA.
LOOK AT YOU. GO KILL IT.

OLIVIA: WHAT? BILLY: HEH!

BILLY: WILL YOU PLEASE JUST LET ME FINISH? ON THIS PAGE.
BILLY: THANK YOU. [OLIVIA SIGHS]
OK. DONE. UM...
OLIVIA: IT'S MISSING SOMETHING. THIS IS REALLY GOOD, LIV.
I DID NOT SAY THAT.
IT--IT WASN'T A QUESTION. I--I'M SAYING
THAT IT'S MISSING SOMETHING, YOU KNOW? 'CAUSE I STILL FEEL
LIKE COACH GARRETT CAN WIGGLE HIS WAY OUTTA THIS, RIGHT?
WE GOT TWO PLAYERS TO GO ON RECORD SAYING THEY WERE INVOLVED IN THE BOUNTIES.
- BUT SOME PEOPLE WILL - MM-HMM.
JUST CALL THEM DISGRUNTLED FORMER WALK-ONS.
OK, WELL, EVEN IF THAT HAPPENS, THIS ARTICLE STILL PUTS GARRETT
UNDER SCRUTINY, WHICH MEANS HE'S GONNA HAVE TO STOP
THE BOUNTY PLAYS 'CAUSE THERE ARE GONNA BE TOO MANY EYES PAYING ATTENTION NOW.
I WANT HIM TO LOSE HIS JOB, GUARANTEED,
SO THIS ARTICLE, IT JUST-- IT--IT NEEDS MORE.
CHRISTEL WANTED ME TO TURN IT IN YESTERDAY. BILLY: RIGHT.
OK, WHAT ABOUT, UH, GARRETT'S FORMER ASSISTANT COACHES?
YOU THINK HE HAD HELP WITH THE BOUNTIES?
IT'S WORTH LOOKING INTO.
- IT'S A GOOD IDEA. - HEY.
THANKS DAD. LOVE YOU. - OK. LOVE YOU, TOO. - ALL RIGHT.
[GASPS] WAIT. BE HONEST.
- WHY DID YOU SMILE BEFORE? - OK.
IT'S CALLED PRIDE, LIV.
MY BABY GIRL IS A REALLY,
REALLY GOOD WRITER, AND IT MADE ME SMILE.

I KNOW.
OH, WHAT'D YOU JUST WATCH?
"PRETTY WOMAN."
- I LOVE THAT MOVIE. - IT'S NOT BAD.
YEAH, I HEARD THEY'RE GONNA REMAKE IT WITH THE ROCK.
- DUDE'S GOT HELLA RANGE. - REALLY?
I'M SURE HE CAN PLAY A CONVINCING GIGOLO.
- WAIT. WHICH PART DOES HE PLAY? - YOU SHOULD BE GETTING READY
I'M GONNA HAVE TO BAIL ON THAT. SPENCER: MY BAD, BRO. I THINK FOR THE SPEED-DATING.
NO, NO. [SIGHS] SEE THIS, BRO?
THAT'S YOUR NAME ON THE CARD, TABLE 4.
MEANS IT'S TOO LATE TO BAIL.
CAN'T YOU JUST NOT USE THAT CARD?
HEH! RIGHT! AND WHAT ARE THE GIRLS SUPPOSED
TO DO WHEN THEY GET DONE WITH TABLE 3, AND SUDDENLY...
[GASPS] THERE'S NO TABLE 4?
THEY CAN GO TO TABLE 5.
NAH. EVERYTHING'S SET. SEE YOU SOON.
FINE. WHERE YOU GOING?
GOTTA GET MY LUCKY TANK TOP OUTTA MY LOCKER.
[CLICKS TONGUE]
OF COURSE YOU DO.
[DISTANT DOG BARKS]
DARIUS: NO, COOP. COOP: WHAT I DO?
IT'S NOT WHAT YOU DID. IT'S WHAT YOU'RE ABOUT TO DO.
LOOK, JUST ACT LIKE I'M NOT HERE.
WHAT'S THAT IN YOUR HAND?
[SIGHS] NOTHIN'. IT'S A CHECKLIST.
- THERE IT IS. - LOOK,
TODAY IS JUST A BIG DAY, ALL RIGHT?
THE JUDGE IS GONNA DECIDE IF AMINA LIVES WITH PREACH
DARIUS: SO YOU BROUGHT OR HER GRANDPARENTS. ME A LIST.
LOOK, I KNOW YOU GOT THIS, ALL RIGHT? BUT IT DOESN'T HURT
TO DOUBLE-CHECK AND MAKE SURE EVERYTHING WAS FILED ON TIME.
I'M JUST A LITTLE NERVOUS, THAT'S ALL.
UNDERSTANDABLE, COOP, LAURA: TOTALLY
BUT WE FEEL REALLY GOOD ABOUT THIS CASE.
THAT'S ALL I WANTED TO HEAR, ALL RIGHT?
SO I WILL LEAVE YOU WITH THIS CHECKLIST.
LOOK AT IT, DON'T LOOK AT IT.
EITHER WAY, I GOTTA GO. I GOT AN INTERVIEW.
AN INTERVIEW? COOP, WHAT, ARE YOU LEAVING US?
YOU'RE LEAVING? WHEN? DARIUS: OH, NO.
WHAT WITH THIS GUY?
HE WANTS TO THROW A PARTY ALREADY.
SORRY, BRO, NO. I'M NOT LEAVING. I'M MEETING WITH
A LAW PROFESSOR AT GAU ABOUT AUDITING
HIS CLASS. HE'S GOT 3 OPEN SPOTS.
DARIUS: LIE. ANY ADVICE?
DON'T LIE. TYPICALLY, THEY WANT TO KNOW ABOUT WHO
YOU ARE OUTSIDE OF SCHOOL, LIFE EXPERIENCES.
I DON'T THINK HE WANTS TO HEAR ABOUT THE STUFF I'VE DONE.
YOU NEVER KNOW. YOU'D BE SURPRISED.
WHAT IMPRESSED ME THE MOST ABOUT DARIUS
WAS ALL OF HIS EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES.
DARIUS: I DID A JUDICIAL CLERKSHIP AND A MONTH COOP: LIKE WHAT?
VOLUNTEERING AT A MARINE CONSERVATION PROGRAM IN BALI.
HMM. SO YOU HIRED THIS GUY BECAUSE HE SAVED SOME TURTLES?
WELL, WHEN YOU PUT IT THAT WAY...
I GOTTA GO.
[OVERLAPPING CHATTER]

I AIN'T NEVER BEEN AFRAID OF NO COMPETITION.
I SEE HOW IT IS. OH, OK, OK.

[SIGHS] HEY.
SO, YOU ARE TAMIA COOPER.
HILL: I NOTICED THAT YOU DIDN'T SUBMIT A RESUME. COOP: YEAH.
DID YOU HAPPEN TO BRING ONE WITH YOU?
UH, NO, I--I DIDN'T.
I DIDN'T THINK THIS WOULD BE LIKE A--A JOB INTERVIEW.
I THOUGHT MAYBE YOU'D ASK ME A FEW QUESTIONS AND I'D ANSWER 'EM.
OK. THAT'S FINE. UM, SO, AS YOU MAY KNOW,
THIS CLASS IS AN INTRODUCTION TO LAW.
UH, WE STUDY CRIMINAL LAW, CIVIL, CONSTITUTIONAL.
I'LL EVEN THROW IN SOME TORTS AND CONTRACTS
TO PREPARE THE STUDENTS FOR LAW SCHOOL.
- THAT SOUNDS DOPE. - HEH!
UH, WE HAVE 3 OPENINGS THIS SEMESTER.
I'M LOOKING FOR THE BEST FITS,
SO, UM, WHY DON'T YOU TELL ME ABOUT YOURSELF?
UH, WELL, I WENT TO HIGH SCHOOL AT SOUTH CRENSHAW.
- GREAT. WHEN DID YOU GRADUATE? - UH, NO, I--I DIDN'T.
I GOT MY G.E.D. TO FOLLOW MY DREAM.
- AND WHAT'S YOUR DREAM? - WELL, IT WAS MUSIC,
BUT IT'S NOT NO MORE.
- WELL, I USED TO RAP, - CAN I ASK WHY?
BUT THEN I COULDN'T RAP, UH, BECAUSE I... I HAD AN ACCIDENT.
SORRY TO HEAR THAT, BUT NOW YOU HAVE
A NEW DREAM, OF BECOMING A LAWYER.
YEAH, I HOPE SO, OR MAYBE EVEN A JUDGE.
AND WHAT HAPPENS IF YOU GET ANOTHER NEW DREAM NEXT YEAR?
[SIGHS] LOOK, MS. COOPER,
I'M MEETING WITH OVER 50 STUDENTS FOR THESE 3 OPENINGS.
IT'S HIGHLY COMPETITIVE.
MANY HAVE PRESTIGIOUS INTERNSHIPS
AND--AND VOLUNTEER WORK.
DO YOU HAVE ANY EXTRACURRICULAR ACHIEVEMENTS?
YOU MEAN, LIKE JUDICIAL CLERKSHIPS
OR SAVING TURTLES?
NO, I DON'T HAVE ANY OF THAT.
I JUST WANTED TO GET IN YOUR CLASS,
BUT IT SEEMS LIKE YOU HAVE BETTER CANDIDATES THAN ME,
SO MAYBE YOU SHOULD GO WITH ONE OF THEM.
I'M SORRY I WASTED YOUR TIME.

SO THEY KEPT GOING AFTER HE QUIT?
YES, AND THEY INCREASED, LIKE, SIGNIFICANTLY,
SO I DON'T KNOW. MAYBE HE WAS KEEPING GARRETT IN CHECK?

IT'S MY LAW FIRM. I SHOULD HAVE DOUBLE-CHECKED EVERYTHING.
NO, YOU SHOULD HAVE NEVER TAKEN ME OFF THE CASE!
BOTH YOU AND DARIUS HAVE THE PRIVILEGE
OF MAKING MISTAKES AND JUST SHRUGGING THEM OFF!
- THAT'S NOT WHAT THIS IS. - IT SOUNDS LIKE IT!
YOU GET TO SAY, "WHOOPS" AND JUST MOVE ON TO ANOTHER CASE!
I DON'T GET TO MAKE THOSE MISTAKES.
I DON'T GET TO SAY, "WHOOPS." THAT'S WHY,
HAD YOU NOT PULLED ME OFF OF THAT CASE,
NONE OF THIS WOULD HAVE HAPPENED!
COOP, I KNOW YOU'RE UPSET.
I USED TO THINK THAT MY BACKGROUND WAS A WEAKNESS.
I THOUGHT THAT PEOPLE LIKE DARIUS WERE BETTER THAN ME.
- I NEVER THOUGHT THAT. - YES, YOU DID.
YOU MAY HAVE NOT REALIZED IT, BUT YOU DID.
BUT IT'S COOL 'CAUSE I KNOW IT'S NOT TRUE, ALL RIGHT?
MY LIFE PREPARED ME BETTER THAN ANY CLERKSHIP
OR VOLUNTEER WORK EVER COULD.
I JUST GOTTA PROVE EVERYONE WRONG.
I AM GOING TO GET AMINA BACK--
NO, WE ARE GOING TO GET AMINA BACK!
I'M BACK ON THIS CASE. THAT'S IT.
AND I'M BRINGING LOTS OF CHECKLISTS. [KNOCK ON DOOR]
SPENCER.
LIV. HEY.
WOW, THOSE ARE BEAUTIFUL.
[CHUCKLING] THANKS. THANKS--
THEY'RE NOT FOR YOU.
I DIDN'T THINK THEY WERE, BUT, YOU KNOW,
HEARING IT OUT LOUD IS REALLY A KICK IN THE TEETH, SO THANKS.
MY BAD, MY BAD. THEY'RE FOR YOUR DAD.
THEY'RE FOR YOUR MOM FROM YOUR DAD.
- NO. I, UH, - FROM YOU?
CALLED HIM AND TOLD HIM I HAD SOME AVAILABLE AND HE CLAIMED 'EM.
- 'CAUSE I BOUGHT 'EM AND THEN-- - WHY DID YOU HAVE EXTRA ROSES?
YOU KNOW, ACTUALLY, I DON'T WANT TO HEAR THE SECOND HALF OF THAT SENTENCE.
- YEP. - OK.
OK... SO HOW ARE YOU?
I'M GOOD. YOU?
I'M GOOD.
JUST SO YOU KNOW, YOU'VE BEEN ON MY MIND TODAY.
- YOU KNOW YOU DON'T HAVE TO SAY THAT. - I KNOW.
I KNOW, BUT YOU HAVE. [FOOTSTEPS APPROACH]
OH, SPENCER.
- YOU'RE A LIFESAVER. - HEY.
THESE ARE GONNA BE PERFECT. - LOOK AT THESE. - ALL RIGHT.
[SNIFFS] AH.
SO THIS WAS YOUR BIG SURPRISE FOR MOM?
[SCOFFS] WHY ARE YOU EVEN BACK HERE?
AH. I WAS ABOUT TO GO SEE, UH, ERIC BRAUN.
WELL, THAT'S WHY I'M HERE. I'M COMING WITH YOU.
SPENCER: I SHOULD GET GOING. BILLY: OK.
- SPENCER, THANK YOU. - YUP.
- BYE-BYE. AHEM. - YEAH, MAN.
OLIVIA: BYE.
BYE.
OK, YOU CAN'T COME BECAUSE HE'S MY FRIEND.
- THIS IS SO MUCH MORE - IT'S MY STORY. THAN A STORY.
THIS IS A COACH WHO HAS AFFECTED
THE LIVES AND THE FUTURES
OF YOUNG MEN, AND...HOPEFULLY,
BECAUSE OF OUR HISTORY, HE'LL OPEN UP TO ME
AND, YOU KNOW, IF HE DID THIS,
THEN I PROMISE YOU, YOU'LL GET YOUR STORY.
BUT UNTIL WE KNOW, MM-MMM.
I AIN'T ABOUT TO AMBUSH MY OLD FRIEND.
I'M SORRY, BUT YOU'RE GONNA HAVE TO TRUST ME ON THIS.
I'M GOING ALONE.
COOP: PROFESSOR HILL? [KNOCK ON DOOR]
HI, UH, MISS...
COOPER. TAMIA COOPER. WE MET TODAY.
YES, YES, AND I WAS JUST LEAVING FOR THE DAY.
I WAS HOPING WE COULD DO THE INTERVIEW AGAIN.
YOU WANT A DO-OVER?
YES, SIR.
OK, WELL, YOU CAN MAKE AN APPOINTMENT WITH ME
DURING MY OFFICE HOURS, BUT, UH, LOOK, I SHOULD BE HONEST WITH YOU.
I'VE ALREADY NARROWED DOWN MY CHOICES.
LOOK, I KNOW I DIDN'T MAKE THE CUT.
THERE'S ALWAYS NEXT SEMESTER.
IT'S JUST... YOU DIDN'T MEET ME YET,
NOT THE REAL ME. THE PERSON YOU MET TODAY
WAS ASHAMED OF GETTING HER G.E.D., BUT I'M PROUD OF IT.
THE PERSON YOU MET TODAY THOUGHT THAT ALL THESE OTHER CANDIDATES
WERE BETTER THAN HER WHEN THEY'RE NOT.
THEY AIN'T PERFECT.
THE THING IS IS WHEN THEY WERE OFF IN FIJI
SAVING TURTLES, I WAS IN THE STREET, FIGHTING FOR MY LIFE,
AND I ALMOST LOST IT; THAT'S WHY I HAD TO GIVE UP ON MY DREAM,
BECAUSE I GOT SHOT. HILL: HMM.
BUT I BATTLED BACK, AND NOW I--I WORK AT A LAW FIRM,
AND I'M GREAT AT WHAT I DO. I KNOW I COULD GO FAR.
AND I WANTED TO ATTEND YOUR CLASS
TO LEARN HOW TO FIGHT FOR PEOPLE LIKE MYSELF,
PEOPLE THAT DON'T GET A CHANCE TO MAKE MISTAKES.
ANYWAYS, THAT'S WHO I AM.
I JUST WANTED TO INTRODUCE MYSELF.
I'LL BE SEEING YOU NEXT SEMESTER.
[CHUCKLES]
MISS COOPER?
OH, YO, ASH. WHAT'S UP, MAN?
- [SIGHS] - JJ.
HOW WAS THE SPEED-DATING?
IT WAS--IT WAS COOL. YEAH, I'M TORN BETWEEN
A CUDDLER AND A FOOT-FETISH GIRL.
WELL, YOU ALWAYS MAKE GOOD CHOICES.
HEY, UM, UH, DO YOU MEAN THAT?
- WELL, DO YOU THINK I MAKE GOOD CHOICES? - WHAT?
ABOUT SPEED-DATING? - ARE WE TALKING - UH, N-NO.
THEN, NO, I DON'T THINK YOU MAKE GOOD CHOICES.
WELL, UH, YOU'RE RIGHT.
I DON'T, AND I KNOW WHAT YOU'RE DOING.
WHAT AM I DOING, JJ?
TRYING TO LIGHT A FIRE UNDER ME,
AND I'M HAPPY TO ANNOUNCE THAT IT WORKED.
MESSAGE RECEIVED.
DUDE, I AM WAY PAST THAT.
- I'M GONNA WORK HARDER. - REALLY?
THAT'S WHY I'M HERE RIGHT NOW.
I THOUGHT YOU WERE HERE BECAUSE SPENCER
KICKED US ALL OUT OF THE BEACH HOUSE FOR THE NIGHT.
I MEAN, YEAH, THAT, TOO,
BUT I'M ON MY WAY TO WORK OUT.
ON VALENTINE'S DAY? RIGHT.
BELIEVE IT WHEN I SEE IT.
[SIGHS]
[SCOFFS]
HEY.
HI.
YOU'RE NOT WEARING THE RED DRESS.
- NO. - OK.
WELL, YOU LOOK GREAT. ALICIA: THANKS.
WHERE ARE YOUR ROOMMATES?
IT'S JUST YOU AND ME TONIGHT.
OK.
THAT'S A LOT OF CANDLES.
YEAH, WELL, I WAS-- YOU KNOW WHAT?
UH, LET ME SET THE MOOD RIGHT HERE.
HMM.
♪ SO LOVABLE, MMM ♪ MALE SINGER:
♪ SO LOVABLE, WHOA, OH ♪ SPENCER: WELL, UH,
YOU, UH, YOU LIKE RED WINE?
- I DO. - OK.
BUT BEFORE YOU OPEN THAT,
WHAT IS THIS ALL ABOUT?
- WHAT DO YOU MEAN? - WHY SO BIG TODAY?
- IT'S VALENTINE'S DAY. - OK, TO BE HONEST,
I DIDN'T THINK WE WERE GONNA HANG OUT TONIGHT.
IT'S FINE. IT'S, UM, VERY SWEET.
THIS IS ALL JUST A BIT TOO...EXTRA.
EXTRA. [CHUCKLES]
[SETS DOWN BOTTLE] COOP.
- SHE MADE ME DO ALL THIS. - WHAT ABOUT HER?
- YOU'RE BLAMING YOUR FRIEND? - NO, IT'S ON ME.
I JUST...
I GUESS I'VE BEEN FEELING KINDA GUILTY, TOO.
I DID SOMETHING RECENTLY, AND I GUESS ALL THIS IS TO TRY AND MAKE UP FOR IT.
FOR WHAT?
I SLEPT WITH MY EX-GIRLFRIEND.
HEH!
IS THAT WHAT ALL OF THIS CRINGEY
VALENTINE'S-DAY STUFF WAS ABOUT?
WHOA, WHOA, IT IS NOT THAT CRINGEY, OK?
ALL RIGHT, IT IS, BUT LOOK--HEH!-- I WAS TRIPPIN'.
I WAS WATCHING "PRETTY WOMAN" AND I WAS TAKING NOTES AND--
- THAT'S WHAT THE RED DRESS WAS ABOUT? - YES.
HA HA HA!
YOU REALLY DON'T CARE I SLEPT WITH MY EX-GIRLFRIEND?
IT'S NO BIG DEAL.
I JUST SLEPT WITH RODRIGO A COUPLE DAYS AGO.
COOL.
OK, IT'S OBVIOUS YOU'RE NOT USED TO BEING SINGLE OFTEN.
LET'S JUST KEEP HAVING FUN.
I HAVE AN IDEA. HOW ABOUT WE BLOW OUT THESE CANDLES...
AND YOU TURN OFF THE SEX MUSIC...
[CHUCKLES] AND WE JUST WATCH "PRETTY WOMAN"?

- THERE HE IS. - BILLY BAKER.
AH, IT'S A BLAST FROM THE PAST.
BILLY: I'M COOL, I'M COOL. MAN, HOW ARE YOU?
THANK YOU FOR, UH... ERIC: YEAH?
FOR HAVING THIS MEETING ON SUCH SHORT NOTICE.
AH, AIN'T NO OTHER PLANS TONIGHT.
EVEN ON VALENTINE'S DAY?
AH, HA HA!
YOU FORGOT, TOO, HUH?
- UH, JESSICA'S GONNA KILL ME. - AW, MAN.
- YOU THINK THE FLOWER SHOPS - YEAH, YOU'LL BE FINE. ARE STILL OPEN?
- HOW IS SHE AND THE KIDS? - OK.
OH, BROTHER, I AM LIVING THE DREAM.
ME, TOO, ME, TOO. BILLY: YEAH, HEH HEH!
SO WHAT'S UP, BILLY?
SO THERE IS AN ARTICLE COMING OUT SOON
ABOUT COACH GARRETT AND--AND HOW HE IS
COACHING THESE KIDS TO INTENTIONALLY INJURE
THE OPPOSING PLAYERS.
[CHUCKLES] WELL...
ERIC, I WAS, UH, HOPING YOU'D BE, UH, A LITTLE BIT MORE SURPRISED.
THIS IS, UH--HEH!--
THIS IS PART OF MY PAST I REALLY DON'T FEEL LIKE REVISITING, BILLY.
YOU REMEMBER BACK IN NEW YORK WHEN WE, UH,
WE GOT INJURED TOGETHER, THEN WE WERE...
REHABBING TOGETHER? ERIC: YEAH.
AND, UH, HOW LONG THOSE DAYS WERE?
WE THOUGHT WE WERE WATCHING OUR FUTURE JUST FLASH BEFORE OUR EYES?
Y'ALL ARE DOING THAT TO THOSE KIDS?
I MEAN, I KNOW YOU QUIT AND EVERYTHING, SO...
YOU OBVIOUSLY FEEL GUILTY.
I QUIT BECAUSE I CREATED A MONSTER
IN COACH GARRETT. YOU KNOW WHAT?
IT WAS MY IDEA.
AT FIRST, ALL RIGHT? - NOTHING VICIOUS - WHAT?
WE JUST WANTED TO KNOCK THE WIND OUT OF SOME KIDS, RING
SOME BELLS, JUST GET THEM TO SIT A FEW PLAYS,
BUT GARRETT... HE TOOK IT
TO ANOTHER LEVEL, SO--SO I LEFT.
WELL, YOU KNOW, HE'S STILL DOING IT.
YES, AT THE BOWL GAME.
KNOCKED A KID OUT FOR THE ENTIRE SEASON.
FIRST-ROUND PICK, DREAMS,
CAREER UP IN SMOKE,
JUST LIKE OURS.
SO...
THIS ARTICLE,
MY DAUGHTER WROTE IT.
WE WANT TO TAKE GARRETT DOWN.
WE WANT TO STOP HIM FROM HURTING THESE KIDS,
STOP HIM FROM-- FROM ROBBING THEM OF THEIR DREAMS
AND--AND HAVING HIM USE THEM FOR HIS ADVANTAGE.
BUT, YOU KNOW...
WE CAN'T DO THIS ALONE.
WE NEED HELP.
W-WE CANNOT DO THIS WITHOUT YOU.
MAN: YO. JJ.
IT'S GOING DOWN TONIGHT.
- WHAT'S GOING DOWN? THAT FOOT-FETISH GIRL - DO YOU REMEMBER
FROM THE SPEED-DATING--CALEIGH? JJ: OH, YEAH.
SHE'S THROWING A FLIP-FLOP PARTY.
OH, NO WAY.
WE'RE HEADED THERE NOW.
LET'S ROLL.
UH, I--I CAN'T.
I GOTTA WORK OUT.
- I PROMISED MY FRIEND - SERIOUSLY, DUDE?
AND COACH I'D COME TO THE GYM TONIGHT, SO...
TECHNICALLY, YOU DID.
- YOU GOT FLIP-FLOPS? - SOLID POINT.
ALWAYS.
JUST GOT A PEDICURE, TOO. HEH!
[SIGHS] ALL RIGHT.
SCREW IT. I'M IN. HMM? HMM?

KINDA HAVE SOMETHING ELSE PLANNED.
ALL RIGHT.
OH, UM, JUST GO INTO THE SOUND BOOTH.
OH, I'M NOT SINGING.

[SIGHS]

JORDAN: NO, NO-- [BELL DINGS]

OK, DO YOU BELIEVE IN GHOSTS?

REALLY? I DO.
WHAT TURNS YOU ON?
- JJ TURNS YOU ON? - JJ?
NO, I MEANT YOU GOT THESE QUESTIONS FROM JJ.
CAN I ASK YOU A QUESTION? LAYLA: HMM?
IS THIS JUST A SPEED DATE OR IS THIS A REAL DATE?
WELL, IT DEPENDS ON YOUR ANSWERS.
WHAT TURNS YOU ON?
- HEH! DEFINITELY NOT FEET. - [CHUCKLES]
OK. LAST QUESTION, AND BE HONEST.
DESCRIBE YOUR PERFECT GIRL.
YOU.
WHAT ABOUT ME?
EVERYTHING.
COMING IN THERE.
JORDAN, THIS HAS NEVER BEEN ABOUT HIDING OUR RELATIONSHIP.
OK? IT'S ABOUT PROTECTING HOW WE FEEL
ABOUT EACH OTHER FROM THE VORTEX.
I'M IN THIS, AND IT WOULD HAVE--
IT WOULD HAVE KILLED ME IF YOU MET SOMEONE ELSE TODAY.
MY FEELINGS FOR YOU ARE REAL, OK?
I'M GLAD YOU'RE MINE.
- MM-HMM. - OK.
DOES THAT MEAN THIS IS OUR FIRST REAL DATE?
YES. [CHUCKLES]
HAPPY VALENTINE'S DAY.
I CAN'T BELIEVE YOU TRIED TO GET ME TO WEAR THAT RED DRESS.

I'M KIDDING.
THEY'D BETTER NOT REMAKE THIS MOVIE.

WE'LL LET GAU KNOW EXACTLY WHAT'S BEEN GOING DOWN
RIGHT UNDER THEIR NOSES. OLIVIA: ALL RIGHT, AND THEN WHAT?

THANK YOU FOR COMING. I KNOW MOST OF YOU ARE WONDERING
IF WE HAVE ANY SURPRISES TODAY. KENNY: HEH HEH!
AND I DO HAVE A BIT OF A SURPRISE ANNOUNCEMENT
THAT DOESN'T INVOLVE OUR RECRUITING CLASS.
I'VE BEEN THINKING A LOT ABOUT MY FUTURE LATELY,
AND I HAVE COME TO THE CONCLUSION THAT IT'S TIME
FOR ME TO FOCUS ON NEW CHALLENGES,
SO, EFFECTIVE IMMEDIATELY,
I HAVE RESIGNED MY POSITION AS HEAD COACH AT GAU.
WHAT? GARRETT.
