1
00:00:11,720 --> 00:00:13,972
[breathing heavily]
2
00:00:23,857 --> 00:00:24,858
[exhales sharply]
3
00:00:49,091 --> 00:00:50,884
[breathing sharply]
4
00:01:27,504 --> 00:01:29,631
[breathing heavily]
5
00:01:29,631 --> 00:01:31,508
["Day Ones" playing]
6
00:03:04,935 --> 00:03:06,937
[people chattering]
7
00:03:11,608 --> 00:03:12,860
[Tonya] Who are all these people?
8
00:03:14,152 --> 00:03:15,153
No clue.
9
00:03:19,491 --> 00:03:20,325
[sighs]
10
00:03:23,787 --> 00:03:24,788
[inhales sharply]
11
00:03:35,299 --> 00:03:37,259
- Good morning, everybody.
- Morning.
12
00:03:37,259 --> 00:03:38,218
- Morning.
- Morning.
13
00:03:39,178 --> 00:03:41,930
So, like I said before,
this is just a formality. Okay?
14
00:03:42,556 --> 00:03:45,267
You guys go in there
and apologize for how you handled it.
15
00:03:45,767 --> 00:03:48,395
That's it.
This will all be behind us. Okay?
16
00:03:50,564 --> 00:03:51,648
We all on the same page?
17
00:03:52,357 --> 00:03:53,358
[sighs]
18
00:03:54,526 --> 00:03:55,819
- [sighs]
- [mouthing] You all right?
19
00:03:57,321 --> 00:03:59,031
All right. Let's go do it.
20
00:04:08,624 --> 00:04:09,958
[speaker] Hello, everyone.
21
00:04:09,958 --> 00:04:13,253
On behalf of the Maryland Unified
Athletic Council, good morning.
22
00:04:13,962 --> 00:04:18,675
We all know the reason we're here.
And my understanding is,
23
00:04:18,675 --> 00:04:23,055
the young men-- the players--
have something they would like to say.
24
00:04:31,563 --> 00:04:32,731
[exhales shakily]
25
00:04:42,574 --> 00:04:43,575
Hello.
26
00:04:48,288 --> 00:04:51,917
As you all know, I'm Jace Carson.
27
00:04:56,129 --> 00:04:57,381
Getting back on the court...
28
00:05:01,051 --> 00:05:02,094
means a lot to me.
29
00:05:05,138 --> 00:05:07,891
Not just because of college...
30
00:05:11,520 --> 00:05:12,521
or my future...
31
00:05:17,317 --> 00:05:18,485
or even my teammates.
32
00:05:21,238 --> 00:05:22,364
[inhales sharply]
33
00:05:25,951 --> 00:05:32,833
But because being on the court is where
I feel most like myself.
34
00:05:34,668 --> 00:05:35,669
It's what I love.
35
00:05:37,296 --> 00:05:43,385
And I understand that if I apologize...
36
00:05:43,385 --> 00:05:44,678
[swallows]
37
00:05:45,262 --> 00:05:46,930
...for something I did...
38
00:05:50,559 --> 00:05:52,060
when I was 14 years old,
39
00:05:53,729 --> 00:05:55,147
I can get what I love back.
40
00:06:00,110 --> 00:06:03,405
What we did wasn't right.
41
00:06:10,037 --> 00:06:12,414
But... [exhales shakily]
42
00:06:13,999 --> 00:06:15,375
...I don't know if it was wrong.
43
00:06:16,001 --> 00:06:18,378
[audience gasping, clamoring]
44
00:06:26,428 --> 00:06:27,429
[sighs]
45
00:06:29,014 --> 00:06:33,018
I'm sorry
that there weren't systems in place
46
00:06:33,018 --> 00:06:35,395
to better protect Crystal Jarrett.
47
00:06:37,397 --> 00:06:38,398
[exhales sharply]
48
00:06:39,983 --> 00:06:40,984
[Emory sighs]
49
00:06:42,402 --> 00:06:43,403
But for what I did...
50
00:06:52,913 --> 00:06:54,748
I can't apologize.
51
00:06:54,748 --> 00:06:56,834
[audience clamoring, chattering]
52
00:06:59,211 --> 00:07:00,212
[whispering] Good job.
53
00:07:00,796 --> 00:07:03,215
Okay, everyone. Just a minute, please.
54
00:07:04,258 --> 00:07:05,968
Just a minute, please.
55
00:07:07,427 --> 00:07:09,847
[Jenna whispering]
I'm so proud of you. You did it.
56
00:07:10,973 --> 00:07:11,974
[clears throat]
57
00:07:13,725 --> 00:07:15,060
Is this how you all feel?
58
00:07:15,686 --> 00:07:16,854
[whispering] It's okay.
59
00:07:31,827 --> 00:07:32,870
[Phil sighs]
60
00:07:33,370 --> 00:07:34,746
Yes, sir.
61
00:07:49,469 --> 00:07:51,096
[inhales deeply] Yes, sir.
62
00:07:55,851 --> 00:07:56,852
[clears throat]
63
00:08:01,481 --> 00:08:02,482
Yes, sir.
64
00:08:11,325 --> 00:08:12,326
[Tonya] You okay?
65
00:08:13,994 --> 00:08:14,995
Proud as hell.
66
00:08:27,633 --> 00:08:28,800
Twenty-four-hour people.
67
00:08:30,719 --> 00:08:31,720
Yeah.
68
00:08:32,261 --> 00:08:33,263
[inhales deeply]
69
00:08:34,097 --> 00:08:37,851
[Meg] Yes. Yeah. I understand.
- Okay. I will call you back.
- Thank you.
70
00:08:39,977 --> 00:08:42,813
So let me guess. You had no idea
they were gonna do that in there.
71
00:08:42,813 --> 00:08:43,857
Of course I didn't.
72
00:08:43,857 --> 00:08:46,276
The board was ready to reinstate them
73
00:08:46,276 --> 00:08:48,362
and they just tossed up
eight middle fingers, Meg.
74
00:08:48,362 --> 00:08:52,282
[sighs] Okay. So, what now?
75
00:08:53,659 --> 00:08:58,288
[sighs] The final decision
is pending further review.
76
00:08:58,789 --> 00:09:00,874
[sighs] Look, I'll get back
with the committee,
77
00:09:00,874 --> 00:09:03,669
but I really don't know
how much more I can do.
78
00:09:05,379 --> 00:09:06,213
[Ike speaks indistinctly]
79
00:09:06,213 --> 00:09:07,714
- Thank you.
- [Tonya] Thank you so much.
80
00:09:09,716 --> 00:09:11,009
- A lot of surprised faces.
- [sighs]
81
00:09:11,009 --> 00:09:14,805
Um... [inhales deeply] ...yeah.
82
00:09:14,805 --> 00:09:17,391
I'm not a believer
in "the sky is falling," Ike,
83
00:09:17,391 --> 00:09:19,601
but it does feel like the sky is falling.
84
00:09:19,601 --> 00:09:23,814
Everyone who was recruiting Jace
has gone silent, and now this.
85
00:09:23,814 --> 00:09:24,898
From where I was sitting,
86
00:09:26,483 --> 00:09:29,444
that was a young man in there
that I deeply respect.
87
00:09:29,444 --> 00:09:30,904
- Okay?
- [sighs]
88
00:09:31,613 --> 00:09:35,284
And I think those who matter
will still believe in Jace.
89
00:09:36,243 --> 00:09:40,455
- Those who don't, don't matter. All right?
- Don't matter.
90
00:09:41,498 --> 00:09:45,169
It's nice to see you in person,
instead of on a Zoom screen.
91
00:09:46,378 --> 00:09:48,672
Yeah. Three dimensions is, uh...
92
00:09:48,672 --> 00:09:51,258
[inhales deeply]
...definitely better than two.
93
00:09:51,258 --> 00:09:52,551
[sighs]
94
00:09:52,551 --> 00:09:57,389
I've been tracking the events. The video.
95
00:09:58,473 --> 00:09:59,725
How are you handling it all?
96
00:10:01,310 --> 00:10:02,311
I don't know.
97
00:10:05,230 --> 00:10:07,316
I guess... [inhales shakily]
98
00:10:07,316 --> 00:10:11,403
...I just don't take the time
to think about that.
99
00:10:12,613 --> 00:10:13,614
Hmm.
100
00:10:15,324 --> 00:10:20,162
But as I sit here now,
I think I'm handling it okay.
101
00:10:24,374 --> 00:10:29,254
Not gonna lie,
there was a moment when I, uh...
102
00:10:33,300 --> 00:10:34,426
[sighs]
103
00:10:34,426 --> 00:10:39,473
Just... [sighs] ...seeing his face...
104
00:10:41,099 --> 00:10:41,934
[inhales deeply]
105
00:10:41,934 --> 00:10:43,644
...seeing his name,
106
00:10:45,312 --> 00:10:49,358
hearing it over and over...
107
00:10:49,358 --> 00:10:51,026
It brought you right back.
108
00:10:53,862 --> 00:10:55,280
[breathes shakily]
109
00:10:55,280 --> 00:10:56,448
It was scary.
110
00:11:00,452 --> 00:11:02,454
Just when I thought I had gotten past it,
111
00:11:03,205 --> 00:11:05,457
it seemed like
there was nothing I could do.
112
00:11:05,457 --> 00:11:06,625
[inhales sharply]
113
00:11:07,876 --> 00:11:14,258
Like I was destined to only be remembered
as the girl who survived abuse.
114
00:11:16,760 --> 00:11:21,890
I think how you handled it
will inspire a lot of people.
115
00:11:22,891 --> 00:11:25,644
You took something terrifying
and traumatic
116
00:11:25,644 --> 00:11:28,313
and you turned it
into something empowering.
117
00:11:28,313 --> 00:11:31,024
Not just for yourself, but for others.
118
00:11:32,192 --> 00:11:33,110
[sighs]
119
00:11:34,570 --> 00:11:35,821
How is the young man?
120
00:11:37,447 --> 00:11:38,615
Who? Rod?
121
00:11:42,035 --> 00:11:42,870
Jace?
122
00:11:48,041 --> 00:11:52,129
I'm not here to talk about him. Right?
123
00:11:52,754 --> 00:11:54,798
We can talk about whatever you like.
124
00:11:54,798 --> 00:11:55,883
[chuckles]
125
00:11:59,344 --> 00:12:00,596
All I know is,
126
00:12:02,264 --> 00:12:05,893
right now, it's strange because...
127
00:12:07,686 --> 00:12:11,815
after everything that happened...
128
00:12:14,318 --> 00:12:17,446
I actually feel more like myself
than ever before.
129
00:12:20,782 --> 00:12:23,076
True life awakens when we awaken.
130
00:12:23,660 --> 00:12:27,706
Hmm. That's--
That's what it feels like right now.
131
00:12:39,426 --> 00:12:40,511
[Jenna] Jace.
132
00:12:48,185 --> 00:12:49,311
What are you doing?
133
00:12:54,775 --> 00:12:55,776
Mom, it's okay.
134
00:13:01,615 --> 00:13:02,616
You can talk to me.
135
00:13:13,752 --> 00:13:15,838
[exhales shakily]
136
00:13:17,840 --> 00:13:24,096
If it's cool with you,
I don't wanna go to school today.
137
00:13:27,140 --> 00:13:31,895
[sighs] I'll call your dean
and say you're taking a mental health day.
138
00:13:31,895 --> 00:13:33,856
[sighs] Thank you.
139
00:13:37,192 --> 00:13:38,193
I was thinking.
140
00:13:38,902 --> 00:13:42,573
My big Holly Ann Conference
this weekend is in New Jersey...
141
00:13:42,573 --> 00:13:43,782
That's a big deal.
142
00:13:44,867 --> 00:13:46,702
It's huge just to get invited.
143
00:13:47,536 --> 00:13:50,080
They're honoring the top consultants
in the nation--
144
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:52,916
- They better honor you then.
- [chuckles] I don't know. We'll see.
145
00:13:56,753 --> 00:13:57,754
[sighs]
146
00:13:58,672 --> 00:14:00,007
Maybe you should come with me.
147
00:14:01,592 --> 00:14:06,013
Might be nice to get away.
A little room to breathe.
148
00:14:10,851 --> 00:14:12,102
Can I let you know later on?
149
00:14:14,855 --> 00:14:15,856
Sure.
150
00:14:16,982 --> 00:14:17,816
Thanks, Mom.
151
00:14:20,861 --> 00:14:21,862
[sighs]
152
00:14:25,949 --> 00:14:27,284
Yeah. [grunts]
153
00:14:27,284 --> 00:14:29,661
Nothing has changed, Coach.
154
00:14:29,661 --> 00:14:30,787
[Coach] I like the kid,
155
00:14:30,787 --> 00:14:34,708
but it's my job to be worried about some
of this, you know, off-the-court stuff.
156
00:14:34,708 --> 00:14:40,255
Look, all right, he's a great kid
and a great player. I assure you of that.
157
00:14:40,797 --> 00:14:43,509
Who shoots barely 20% from three.
158
00:14:43,509 --> 00:14:45,344
He'll work on that. [chuckles]
159
00:14:45,344 --> 00:14:49,640
Then I have to ask, why is your own
athletic director telling me
160
00:14:49,640 --> 00:14:52,059
I would be smart
to steer clear of the kid?
161
00:14:53,852 --> 00:14:55,437
What exactly did he say?
162
00:14:55,437 --> 00:14:57,481
"Not worth the headache."
163
00:14:58,732 --> 00:15:01,109
Hey, Ike. Look, I gotta run.
We'll talk.
164
00:15:02,110 --> 00:15:03,111
All right.
165
00:15:06,740 --> 00:15:08,575
[breathes deeply]
166
00:15:10,953 --> 00:15:11,954
I'ma curse Emory out.
167
00:15:11,954 --> 00:15:13,121
- No, you're not.
- Mm-hmm.
168
00:15:13,121 --> 00:15:15,290
Okay, baby, let's go. Time for school.
169
00:15:15,290 --> 00:15:16,500
Okay, Mommy.
170
00:15:16,500 --> 00:15:20,963
How is an athletic director gonna
go around bad-mouthing a student athlete
171
00:15:20,963 --> 00:15:22,297
who's already against the ropes?
172
00:15:23,215 --> 00:15:25,384
Some people punch down. I punch up.
173
00:15:25,384 --> 00:15:27,886
No punching will be necessary.
174
00:15:27,886 --> 00:15:31,515
I have a meeting scheduled with Emory
later today to discuss Jace and the boys.
175
00:15:32,099 --> 00:15:33,392
You got a meeting about my team?
176
00:15:33,392 --> 00:15:34,560
I see it as a diversity issue.
177
00:15:34,560 --> 00:15:36,854
He's gonna see it
as me hiding behind my wife.
178
00:15:36,854 --> 00:15:40,607
Even if I wasn't married to you,
I would still take the meeting. Okay?
179
00:15:41,441 --> 00:15:42,609
Male Black ego.
180
00:15:44,236 --> 00:15:45,612
Okay. Okay.
181
00:15:45,612 --> 00:15:48,657
Can we go now?
I have to go curse somebody out.
182
00:15:53,537 --> 00:15:54,454
[Ike, Tonya chuckle]
183
00:15:54,454 --> 00:15:56,206
[pop music playing]
184
00:15:56,206 --> 00:15:58,292
[humming, muttering]
185
00:16:03,463 --> 00:16:04,756
[cell phone ringing]
186
00:16:08,051 --> 00:16:09,344
Hello.
187
00:16:09,344 --> 00:16:12,389
- [caller] Hi. Is this Crystal Jarrett?
- Yes.
188
00:16:12,389 --> 00:16:14,933
[caller] Hi. This is Vicky Sirota.
189
00:16:14,933 --> 00:16:17,811
I'm a rep from
the McDonald's All-American game.
190
00:16:17,811 --> 00:16:19,771
Normally we would reach out to your coach,
191
00:16:19,771 --> 00:16:24,193
but in your particular case,
I really wanted to call you personally.
192
00:16:24,902 --> 00:16:29,281
So, the selection committee had
a lot of hard choices to make this year,
193
00:16:29,281 --> 00:16:34,077
but we believe you are one of
the top basketball players in the nation.
194
00:16:34,077 --> 00:16:36,496
So, luckily,
this is one of the good calls.
195
00:16:36,496 --> 00:16:40,334
Congratulations. You've been named
a McDonald's All-American.
196
00:16:40,334 --> 00:16:44,421
Let's go! [squeals]
197
00:16:44,421 --> 00:16:45,839
[cell phone ringing]
198
00:16:51,512 --> 00:16:52,513
[sighs]
199
00:16:54,932 --> 00:16:55,766
Yo.
200
00:16:55,766 --> 00:16:57,643
[Crystal] Um, what are you doing, scrub?
201
00:16:57,643 --> 00:17:02,022
Staying home today. Too stressed.
Why do you sound so energetic?
202
00:17:02,022 --> 00:17:03,565
Get dressed.
203
00:17:04,066 --> 00:17:05,317
[Jace] What?
204
00:17:05,317 --> 00:17:09,695
[sighs] Yo. Let's figure out a way
to handle your stress.
205
00:17:09,695 --> 00:17:10,781
I'm coming to pick you up.
206
00:17:10,781 --> 00:17:12,866
[cell phone beeping]
207
00:17:15,911 --> 00:17:16,994
[chuckles]
208
00:17:19,998 --> 00:17:21,750
I just couldn't apologize.
209
00:17:21,750 --> 00:17:24,127
Dude, you are not trying to make it easy
for yourself, are you?
210
00:17:24,127 --> 00:17:29,007
You're my best friend.
I'm not gonna apologize for that.
211
00:17:34,555 --> 00:17:35,722
Where are we going?
212
00:17:35,722 --> 00:17:37,391
It's a surprise.
213
00:17:37,391 --> 00:17:39,852
Better not be some nasty vegan spot.
214
00:17:41,436 --> 00:17:42,896
Vegan hate is played out.
215
00:17:42,896 --> 00:17:43,981
[chuckles]
216
00:17:47,943 --> 00:17:49,820
[inhales sharply] Hey. So--
217
00:17:49,820 --> 00:17:53,031
I still haven't heard about
this McDonald's All-American game.
218
00:17:53,031 --> 00:17:53,949
What?
219
00:17:53,949 --> 00:17:57,661
[sighs] Heard they reach out to people
personally before the public announcement.
220
00:18:01,248 --> 00:18:03,876
I think the controversy
could have something to do with it.
221
00:18:06,295 --> 00:18:08,297
How about we not think
about any of that today?
222
00:18:11,133 --> 00:18:12,134
Are you serious?
223
00:18:16,388 --> 00:18:18,182
{\an8}Have you ever even been inside this place,
224
00:18:18,182 --> 00:18:20,184
{\an8}or you just hit people
with balloons out front?
225
00:18:20,184 --> 00:18:23,353
Consider this a do-over for me
being late to your ninth birthday party.
226
00:18:25,397 --> 00:18:26,231
[chuckles]
227
00:18:28,483 --> 00:18:30,485
[funk music playing]
228
00:18:34,489 --> 00:18:37,534
Welcome to Old School Week. This is
your captain and chief in command,
229
00:18:37,534 --> 00:18:40,662
DJ Cliff, bringing you back
to when music was pure.
230
00:18:40,662 --> 00:18:42,748
[funk music continues playing]
231
00:18:44,333 --> 00:18:45,167
[skater] Whoo!
232
00:18:45,167 --> 00:18:48,837
[DJ Cliff] The style was happening
and love was a rallying cry, baby.
233
00:18:53,509 --> 00:18:58,931
How are people in here so early?
I mean, don't they got school or jobs?
234
00:18:59,640 --> 00:19:01,141
Not during Old School Week.
235
00:19:04,394 --> 00:19:08,565
Should we learn some choreography?
Like, look at that.
236
00:19:08,565 --> 00:19:11,276
Nah. I like to keep my shit organic.
237
00:19:11,777 --> 00:19:14,071
[both chuckle]
238
00:19:18,075 --> 00:19:19,535
Peace and love. Size?
239
00:19:20,035 --> 00:19:21,411
[Crystal] Nine, please.
240
00:19:21,411 --> 00:19:22,829
- [Jace] Thirteen.
- Right on.
241
00:19:24,873 --> 00:19:26,291
I might be a little rusty.
242
00:19:26,792 --> 00:19:29,211
Don't worry.
You were not good to begin with.
243
00:19:29,878 --> 00:19:30,879
Better than you.
244
00:19:32,339 --> 00:19:33,924
[scoffs] You're gonna learn today.
245
00:19:34,424 --> 00:19:36,343
Look, roller skating is just like life.
246
00:19:36,343 --> 00:19:39,680
The more chances you take,
the more at risk you are to fall.
247
00:19:41,014 --> 00:19:42,474
Or you can hold onto the wall.
248
00:19:42,474 --> 00:19:44,101
[chuckles] That's deep.
249
00:19:44,893 --> 00:19:45,978
And it rhymes.
250
00:19:47,020 --> 00:19:48,021
Thank you.
251
00:19:53,735 --> 00:19:54,862
[chuckles]
252
00:20:03,287 --> 00:20:05,539
I could actually rock this hat
in real life.
253
00:20:06,456 --> 00:20:08,458
- It does look really good on you.
- That's what I'm saying.
254
00:20:10,043 --> 00:20:11,545
[chuckles] Come on. Let's go.
255
00:20:11,545 --> 00:20:12,671
[chuckles]
256
00:20:14,089 --> 00:20:15,382
[DJ Cliff] Nice moves, my man.
257
00:20:15,382 --> 00:20:18,385
Okay, now, beautiful soul flower.
I see you, baby girl.
258
00:20:19,261 --> 00:20:21,680
Foxy lovers. Let's boogie down.
259
00:20:22,931 --> 00:20:25,392
I see you soul brother
and soul sister number one.
260
00:20:25,392 --> 00:20:27,060
Wait. Is he talking about us?
261
00:20:27,060 --> 00:20:29,062
[DJ Cliff] Y'all look like
you got the world on your shoulders.
262
00:20:29,062 --> 00:20:31,607
Go ahead and leave that outside.
Be free and let's dance.
263
00:20:31,607 --> 00:20:33,734
["Let's Go Dancing" playing]
264
00:20:38,530 --> 00:20:39,364
All right.
265
00:20:39,948 --> 00:20:40,949
[Crystal laughs]
266
00:20:45,329 --> 00:20:46,496
You don't know where I'm at.
267
00:20:46,997 --> 00:20:50,000
- Where I'm at, huh?
- [laughs] Hey, you better be careful.
268
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:52,961
[laughs] My legs are dead right now.
269
00:20:53,462 --> 00:20:54,755
[Crystal] Excuses.
270
00:20:55,339 --> 00:20:56,507
[Jace] Excuses?
271
00:20:58,091 --> 00:20:59,593
I ran the hill yesterday.
272
00:20:59,593 --> 00:21:03,388
I ran yesterday and today.
You don't see me complaining about it.
273
00:21:03,388 --> 00:21:06,642
- Whatever, Miss Jarrett.
- Peace and love, Jace Carson.
274
00:21:11,313 --> 00:21:13,232
[Jace] I don't know why you're trying
to race me right now.
275
00:21:17,194 --> 00:21:19,154
Ooh, Miss Jarrett.
276
00:21:19,738 --> 00:21:21,823
- [laughs]
- Where you going, Miss Jarrett?
277
00:21:21,823 --> 00:21:23,283
[Crystal] Wait. [chuckles]
278
00:21:26,036 --> 00:21:27,913
- Don't drag me down with you. Come on.
- I got you.
279
00:21:31,375 --> 00:21:32,376
Come here.
280
00:21:33,085 --> 00:21:34,503
- Hey.
- [chuckles]
281
00:21:34,503 --> 00:21:36,713
Smooth. How you like this?
282
00:21:36,713 --> 00:21:38,632
Hmm. Better.
283
00:21:47,432 --> 00:21:49,184
[people chattering]
284
00:21:53,021 --> 00:21:58,235
- [upbeat music playing on phone]
- [student 1] Ah. Yeah. Great. Hey. Uh.
285
00:21:58,235 --> 00:22:01,071
- Ah.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
286
00:22:01,071 --> 00:22:03,115
[student 2] Yes. You nailed it.
287
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:12,541
[Musa] That's what I was saying.
288
00:22:12,541 --> 00:22:14,751
- [sighs]
- You know what I'm saying? It was just a--
289
00:22:15,335 --> 00:22:17,045
- My bad.
- Oops, sorry. Are you okay?
290
00:22:17,629 --> 00:22:19,882
- Yeah, sorry. I should've been looking.
- Nah, nah. It's all good.
291
00:22:19,882 --> 00:22:22,718
It's-- It's my fault. Uh, I'm-- I'm Musa.
292
00:22:23,969 --> 00:22:24,970
V.
293
00:22:24,970 --> 00:22:26,221
Nice to meet you.
294
00:22:26,221 --> 00:22:27,598
You too.
295
00:22:29,308 --> 00:22:30,601
- All right, y'all.
- Yeah. Later.
296
00:22:30,601 --> 00:22:34,188
If you're not talking about
the basketball team or your next vacation
297
00:22:34,188 --> 00:22:37,524
or the expensive new cars your parents
are buying you, you don't fit in.
298
00:22:38,567 --> 00:22:42,696
And if you don't fit in at a place like
Cedar Cove, it's worse than being bullied.
299
00:22:44,198 --> 00:22:45,449
You feel invisible.
300
00:22:48,076 --> 00:22:49,244
I am invisible.
301
00:22:54,124 --> 00:22:55,751
To the Black students as well?
302
00:22:55,751 --> 00:22:57,085
To Black boys, I am.
303
00:22:58,712 --> 00:23:02,883
I literally just bumped into Musa Rahaim,
and he was a perfect gentleman.
304
00:23:02,883 --> 00:23:04,551
And with all the stress
he must be feeling,
305
00:23:04,551 --> 00:23:07,179
he was kind enough
to introduce himself to me.
306
00:23:07,179 --> 00:23:09,223
Well, that must've helped you feel seen.
307
00:23:09,223 --> 00:23:11,892
I've had about six classes with him
since sophomore year,
308
00:23:11,892 --> 00:23:14,144
and this is the first time
we've ever spoke.
309
00:23:14,144 --> 00:23:16,230
- [sighs] You--
- [knocking]
310
00:23:17,022 --> 00:23:18,565
[Tonya]
Dr. Lawson, can you give us a minute?
311
00:23:18,565 --> 00:23:21,151
It's okay, Mrs. Edwards.
I have class next period.
312
00:23:23,820 --> 00:23:30,285
V. Know that I see you.
And I'll check in with you soon.
313
00:23:30,953 --> 00:23:32,663
- Thank you, Mrs. Edwards.
- Of course.
314
00:23:33,413 --> 00:23:34,581
[V] Hi, Dr. Lawson.
315
00:23:34,581 --> 00:23:35,874
Hi, V.
316
00:23:35,874 --> 00:23:37,793
[sighing] Please, have a seat.
317
00:23:39,920 --> 00:23:41,004
Everything okay with V?
318
00:23:42,714 --> 00:23:45,717
I think it will be. Have you ever had her
in one of your classes?
319
00:23:46,385 --> 00:23:49,638
Last semester. I taught a class called
"The History of War."
320
00:23:50,305 --> 00:23:52,975
She got a B-plus, if I'm not mistaken.
321
00:23:54,017 --> 00:23:56,603
Would've got an A but she rarely
participated in class discussion.
322
00:23:56,603 --> 00:23:57,688
History of War?
323
00:23:58,856 --> 00:24:02,526
AP class. The similarities, uh,
between constructing an army
324
00:24:02,526 --> 00:24:06,780
and constructing an athletic program are
not as far apart as one might assume.
325
00:24:06,780 --> 00:24:07,865
[both chuckle]
326
00:24:10,284 --> 00:24:12,119
There are not many
athletic directors like you.
327
00:24:13,871 --> 00:24:15,163
You're impressive.
328
00:24:15,163 --> 00:24:16,623
When I heard you dropped by my office,
329
00:24:16,623 --> 00:24:18,917
I-- I certainly didn't assume
I missed out on a compliment.
330
00:24:20,711 --> 00:24:23,505
It's because I came to talk
about Jace, Phil, Drew, and Musa.
331
00:24:24,089 --> 00:24:25,507
Mmm.
332
00:24:25,507 --> 00:24:28,260
Four great young men
with very promising futures
333
00:24:28,260 --> 00:24:33,223
who may be able to reach your heights
if ever given the chance.
334
00:24:33,974 --> 00:24:35,934
It depends on where
they focus their energies.
335
00:24:37,102 --> 00:24:38,395
They've been treated like celebrities
336
00:24:38,395 --> 00:24:40,063
since they won a championship
in junior year.
337
00:24:40,063 --> 00:24:41,607
You resent them for that?
338
00:24:41,607 --> 00:24:44,067
There are responsibilities that come
with success.
339
00:24:44,067 --> 00:24:45,068
Right.
340
00:24:45,068 --> 00:24:47,487
And there are several people
who put themselves on the line
341
00:24:47,487 --> 00:24:50,908
to ensure they would have the opportunity
to succeed. I'm one of them.
342
00:24:51,742 --> 00:24:54,703
And as noble as Jace Carson
is presenting himself to be,
343
00:24:55,287 --> 00:24:58,081
he did not confess because he thought
it was the right thing to do.
344
00:24:58,832 --> 00:25:03,212
He confessed
because he thought his "athletic gifts"
345
00:25:03,212 --> 00:25:05,672
would camouflage his lack
of high moral fiber.
346
00:25:06,173 --> 00:25:09,927
You told a college
that he wasn't worth recruiting.
347
00:25:09,927 --> 00:25:10,844
[inhales deeply]
348
00:25:10,844 --> 00:25:14,765
That was because of
your nobility and high moral fiber.
349
00:25:14,765 --> 00:25:18,060
Or because your victory parade collided
with his decision-making.
350
00:25:20,229 --> 00:25:25,067
You know, speaking of impressive,
you are as well, Miss Edwards.
351
00:25:25,067 --> 00:25:26,151
Thank you.
352
00:25:26,652 --> 00:25:29,321
You were a social worker
before Ike got you the job?
353
00:25:31,949 --> 00:25:33,784
I landed this position on my own accord.
354
00:25:33,784 --> 00:25:36,328
Of course. I mean no disrespect.
355
00:25:36,328 --> 00:25:37,454
Of course not.
356
00:25:37,454 --> 00:25:40,290
To answer your question,
I don't revel in fanfare.
357
00:25:41,375 --> 00:25:46,004
I revel in the consistent advancement of
our students, particularly our athletes.
358
00:25:46,630 --> 00:25:51,134
You seem to be consistently impeding
on Jace Carson's advancement.
359
00:25:51,134 --> 00:25:54,471
Says the woman married to the
grand marshal of the Jace Carson parade.
360
00:25:59,601 --> 00:26:03,355
- It's been a pleasure getting to know you.
- Hmm. Likewise. I appreciate that.
361
00:26:03,355 --> 00:26:05,649
- [inhales deeply]
- It may be even more of a pleasure
362
00:26:05,649 --> 00:26:08,151
if you ever take the time
to get to know yourself.
363
00:26:10,988 --> 00:26:11,989
[sighs]
364
00:26:18,120 --> 00:26:19,162
[door opens]
365
00:26:22,624 --> 00:26:23,667
[door closes]
366
00:26:23,667 --> 00:26:27,754
[scoffs] I should've cursed his ass out.
367
00:26:37,389 --> 00:26:40,767
Yo, that guy is my entire mood board.
368
00:26:42,144 --> 00:26:45,898
His bag is so big he gotta
pay extra just to check it.
369
00:26:45,898 --> 00:26:48,108
- Yo, you are so dumb.
- [both chuckle]
370
00:26:49,193 --> 00:26:52,196
No. Don't do that.
Don't touch my fries with that.
371
00:26:56,408 --> 00:26:57,409
Happy?
372
00:26:59,828 --> 00:27:00,787
[chuckles]
373
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:05,375
You ever wish you knew
what was coming next
374
00:27:05,375 --> 00:27:07,127
so you wouldn't have to worry about it?
375
00:27:08,378 --> 00:27:12,758
Like, you'd just know
what was gonna happen?
376
00:27:14,468 --> 00:27:18,472
Yeah. But then I'm like, "Nah." [chuckles]
377
00:27:18,472 --> 00:27:20,307
It would take all the fun out of it.
378
00:27:22,976 --> 00:27:25,270
I don't know if I'm gonna be able
to play again.
379
00:27:25,771 --> 00:27:29,191
Or if these college coaches
are ever gonna come back.
380
00:27:31,735 --> 00:27:34,154
All of a sudden,
they're picking my game apart.
381
00:27:34,154 --> 00:27:39,535
Sometimes I wish I didn't care so much.
382
00:27:40,536 --> 00:27:44,581
Like, if I didn't care so much,
383
00:27:45,457 --> 00:27:49,211
I probably wouldn't lay awake
in bed at night...
384
00:27:49,211 --> 00:27:50,712
[stammers] ...you know? Just--
385
00:27:51,296 --> 00:27:53,882
If I was just some dude, and not...
386
00:27:53,882 --> 00:27:58,720
Jace Carson? [chuckles]
You would not be able to survive.
387
00:27:58,720 --> 00:28:00,514
- [chuckles]
- What do you mean?
388
00:28:02,224 --> 00:28:03,725
Without the attention.
389
00:28:06,144 --> 00:28:09,106
Wow. So you trying to call me arrogant?
390
00:28:09,106 --> 00:28:10,357
You are arrogant.
391
00:28:10,357 --> 00:28:12,359
No. I'm ego-forward.
392
00:28:12,359 --> 00:28:16,113
[chuckles] Okay, scrub.
393
00:28:16,613 --> 00:28:17,739
I hate you.
394
00:28:22,661 --> 00:28:24,121
[person] Can I get a picture?
395
00:28:24,121 --> 00:28:25,205
[mumbles]
396
00:28:26,665 --> 00:28:30,252
I am such a big fan of you
and everything you stand for.
397
00:28:30,252 --> 00:28:32,921
- You mean more to me than you know.
- [chuckles]
398
00:28:32,921 --> 00:28:36,508
That means everything to me. Thank you.
399
00:28:38,510 --> 00:28:39,845
Make sure you take a couple.
400
00:28:39,845 --> 00:28:41,305
[chuckles]
401
00:28:42,514 --> 00:28:43,515
[Jace] All right.
402
00:28:44,474 --> 00:28:48,437
- Boom, bop, biggity, wow.
- [chuckles]
403
00:28:48,937 --> 00:28:50,606
- There you go.
- Thanks, Crystal.
404
00:28:50,606 --> 00:28:52,232
Thank you.
405
00:28:54,401 --> 00:28:56,570
Did that hurt your feelings?
406
00:28:56,570 --> 00:28:59,656
A little. 'Cause I wanna be
in the pictures with you.
407
00:29:00,282 --> 00:29:02,242
I think I can arrange that.
408
00:29:04,620 --> 00:29:06,455
[laughs]
409
00:29:10,334 --> 00:29:13,295
Um, you know,
410
00:29:13,295 --> 00:29:19,510
I never really, uh, told you this, but...
411
00:29:21,887 --> 00:29:24,306
After you transferred to Cedar Cove
412
00:29:24,890 --> 00:29:26,725
and we went our separate ways...
413
00:29:30,145 --> 00:29:31,605
I was really sad.
414
00:29:35,776 --> 00:29:37,069
I didn't know that.
415
00:29:39,446 --> 00:29:43,408
I always thought we said
we wanted to focus on ball.
416
00:29:44,493 --> 00:29:46,119
Maybe that was a mistake.
417
00:29:48,664 --> 00:29:49,998
I know I missed you.
418
00:29:53,877 --> 00:29:57,840
[inhales sharply] Yeah.
Well, I just needed someone to talk to.
419
00:29:58,340 --> 00:30:02,594
And Rod was someone who listened.
420
00:30:03,136 --> 00:30:08,767
He was nice, easy. [sighs]
421
00:30:08,767 --> 00:30:13,730
Easy is good sometimes.
You wouldn't know about that.
422
00:30:14,982 --> 00:30:19,403
What, um-- What's going on with-- How--
423
00:30:19,403 --> 00:30:23,073
How is that break y'all was taking?
424
00:30:23,574 --> 00:30:24,867
[sighs]
425
00:30:24,867 --> 00:30:29,872
The break is officially broken.
426
00:30:31,373 --> 00:30:33,584
[gasps] How come?
427
00:30:33,584 --> 00:30:36,170
[chuckles] Um...
428
00:30:37,212 --> 00:30:38,672
[inhales sharply]
429
00:30:39,256 --> 00:30:40,257
He's not you.
430
00:30:46,763 --> 00:30:48,724
So, you know how we, um--
431
00:30:48,724 --> 00:30:50,893
- [phone rings]
- Oh.
432
00:30:53,687 --> 00:30:55,063
Sorry, it's my mom.
433
00:30:55,814 --> 00:30:56,940
Better take it.
434
00:30:58,066 --> 00:30:59,776
Yeah, I'll be right back. [sighs]
435
00:31:02,905 --> 00:31:05,657
- Hi, Mom.
- [Jenna] It's loud. Where are you?
436
00:31:05,657 --> 00:31:07,701
Sorry, I'm in the roller rink.
437
00:31:07,701 --> 00:31:08,994
[Jenna] The roller rink?
438
00:31:09,703 --> 00:31:13,582
What happened to your mental health day?
Who are you with?
439
00:31:18,712 --> 00:31:21,340
Okay, I can hear you now. What's going on?
440
00:31:21,340 --> 00:31:22,257
[Jenna sighs]
441
00:31:22,257 --> 00:31:25,928
I'm trying to lock down my hotel room
for the Holly Ann Convention
442
00:31:25,928 --> 00:31:29,431
and was wondering if I should get
the king-size bed or two fulls.
443
00:31:30,140 --> 00:31:35,062
Uh, I really would love to support you,
444
00:31:35,062 --> 00:31:39,858
but I think I would just rather
stick around here for the weekend.
445
00:31:40,776 --> 00:31:42,027
[Jenna] Are you sure?
446
00:31:42,611 --> 00:31:44,029
I can handle myself for a night.
447
00:31:45,531 --> 00:31:47,032
[Jenna] No wild parties.
448
00:31:47,741 --> 00:31:48,742
You too.
449
00:31:48,742 --> 00:31:50,244
[Jenna laughs]
450
00:31:50,244 --> 00:31:51,245
[laughs]
451
00:31:51,245 --> 00:31:54,915
[Jenna] It's good to hear you laughing.
Okay. I love you.
452
00:31:56,625 --> 00:31:57,835
Good luck, Mom.
453
00:32:10,931 --> 00:32:12,015
What?
454
00:32:13,225 --> 00:32:14,351
Nothing.
455
00:32:16,562 --> 00:32:19,523
My mom is going out of town
for the weekend.
456
00:32:20,148 --> 00:32:21,233
Oh, really?
457
00:32:23,151 --> 00:32:27,573
Yeah, you could, uh,
come over when she breaks out.
458
00:32:28,657 --> 00:32:30,033
If you want.
459
00:32:30,617 --> 00:32:31,618
Oh.
460
00:32:31,618 --> 00:32:37,124
Um, no offense,
but I'm not trying to be in your rotation.
461
00:32:39,543 --> 00:32:41,211
It's not even like that.
462
00:32:48,177 --> 00:32:51,847
Oh. Interesting.
463
00:32:55,142 --> 00:32:56,476
Thought so too.
464
00:32:56,476 --> 00:32:58,896
["I Need Love" playing]
465
00:33:19,708 --> 00:33:21,043
[chuckles]
466
00:33:23,504 --> 00:33:25,255
You were about to say something.
467
00:33:26,590 --> 00:33:27,591
What?
468
00:33:28,175 --> 00:33:30,427
Earlier. About us.
469
00:33:33,096 --> 00:33:36,850
Oh, yeah. That.
470
00:33:39,102 --> 00:33:40,771
[chuckles]
471
00:33:45,442 --> 00:33:46,443
Come here.
472
00:34:23,021 --> 00:34:24,022
[sighs]
473
00:34:39,705 --> 00:34:42,081
Yo! Congratulations.
474
00:34:46,170 --> 00:34:50,257
You see that girl over there?
She's a McDonald's All-American.
475
00:34:50,257 --> 00:34:54,553
Wow. Right on.
One vegan sundae, one regular?
476
00:34:54,553 --> 00:34:55,637
Appreciate it, man.
477
00:35:06,398 --> 00:35:07,816
Why aren't you freaking out?
478
00:35:08,734 --> 00:35:11,778
I don't know. I just--
I know you really wanted this too.
479
00:35:13,155 --> 00:35:14,156
I mean,
480
00:35:15,574 --> 00:35:22,122
I kind of figured when I didn't
get the call that I wasn't gonna make it.
481
00:35:26,752 --> 00:35:30,297
Wait. Did you get a call?
482
00:35:32,591 --> 00:35:33,425
[sighs]
483
00:35:34,885 --> 00:35:36,178
Oh.
484
00:35:37,429 --> 00:35:42,059
I wasn't trying to...
Look, I was gonna tell you.
485
00:35:42,059 --> 00:35:44,561
Right, yeah. So, why didn't you?
486
00:35:45,229 --> 00:35:47,564
I just wanted us to have a good time.
487
00:35:47,564 --> 00:35:49,358
Hmm. [sighs]
488
00:35:50,317 --> 00:35:51,527
Jace.
489
00:35:51,527 --> 00:35:55,447
Same old Crystal.
Keeping it close to the vest.
490
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,208
Same old Jace.
Always trying to control things.
491
00:36:07,459 --> 00:36:10,879
You don't see it, but sometimes,
it's not about you,
492
00:36:10,879 --> 00:36:14,383
or what you want,
or what you think is right or wrong.
493
00:36:14,383 --> 00:36:16,385
Controlling things? My bad.
494
00:36:16,385 --> 00:36:18,804
My dumb ass thought
we had each other's back.
495
00:36:19,930 --> 00:36:21,098
[phone buzzing]
496
00:36:22,432 --> 00:36:23,433
You should take that.
497
00:36:30,399 --> 00:36:31,525
'Sup, Coach.
498
00:36:39,449 --> 00:36:42,160
Bet. Let me hit you right back.
499
00:36:51,336 --> 00:36:52,588
Gotta get ready for my game.
500
00:36:53,172 --> 00:36:55,132
Wait, does that mean you--
you're reinstated?
501
00:36:55,757 --> 00:36:58,510
- Yeah. [sighs]
- That-That's great.
502
00:36:58,510 --> 00:37:00,721
- I gotta go.
- I-- I can give you a ride.
503
00:37:01,305 --> 00:37:02,848
I'll take a Lyft.
504
00:37:13,275 --> 00:37:16,236
Looks like the M.U.A.C. didn't wanna be
on the wrong side of things.
505
00:37:16,236 --> 00:37:19,781
All the love our kids have been getting
on social media made them crumble.
506
00:37:19,781 --> 00:37:22,659
Well, it's nice to have the court
of public opinion in our favor for once.
507
00:37:22,659 --> 00:37:24,119
- Mm-hmm. [chuckles]
- [Ike chuckles] It was a gamble,
508
00:37:24,119 --> 00:37:26,121
but I was hoping it would go this way.
509
00:37:29,416 --> 00:37:30,459
[Meg] Wait, did...
510
00:37:32,461 --> 00:37:34,588
Did you know they weren't gonna apologize?
511
00:37:39,927 --> 00:37:42,012
[clears throat] Uh, well, uh...
512
00:37:44,723 --> 00:37:46,683
Jace confided in me.
513
00:37:48,644 --> 00:37:50,979
I need him to know that he can trust me...
514
00:37:50,979 --> 00:37:52,648
- [exhales sharply]
- ...so I-- I kept his secret.
515
00:37:52,648 --> 00:37:53,774
[exhales sharply]
516
00:37:54,900 --> 00:37:56,109
Trust.
517
00:37:56,109 --> 00:37:57,653
I mean... [chuckles] ...it's everything.
518
00:37:59,404 --> 00:38:02,741
But Musa's my son. How could you
keep me in the dark like this?
519
00:38:04,076 --> 00:38:06,995
[stammering] I'm sorry.
520
00:38:11,333 --> 00:38:13,335
[breathing heavily]
521
00:38:17,381 --> 00:38:18,549
[breathes heavily]
522
00:38:23,720 --> 00:38:24,888
[Ike clears throat]
523
00:38:31,019 --> 00:38:32,938
How y'all feel
about the sisters on campus?
524
00:38:39,528 --> 00:38:40,362
[chuckles]
525
00:38:41,780 --> 00:38:43,532
This your new motivational speech?
526
00:38:43,532 --> 00:38:45,367
[players laughing]
527
00:38:45,367 --> 00:38:49,997
[chuckles] Not a speech. Just a question.
528
00:38:50,664 --> 00:38:52,666
I feel really good about the sisters.
529
00:38:52,666 --> 00:38:54,751
[players chuckle]
530
00:38:56,587 --> 00:38:58,088
[Phil] So do I, Coach.
531
00:38:58,839 --> 00:39:00,465
- [chuckles]
- Mmm.
532
00:39:00,465 --> 00:39:05,554
Oh. "Sistas." Not "sisters."
533
00:39:06,180 --> 00:39:07,681
[players laughing]
534
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:10,017
[sighs]
535
00:39:10,017 --> 00:39:12,352
I'ma shut-- shut up now.
536
00:39:12,352 --> 00:39:13,770
All right, cool.
537
00:39:15,063 --> 00:39:19,276
Well, my wife says that some of them
538
00:39:19,276 --> 00:39:22,529
aren't quite feeling the love.
539
00:39:23,405 --> 00:39:27,534
Now, I'm not gonna tell y'all who to date
and who not to.
540
00:39:28,368 --> 00:39:32,831
But a lot of those sisters stood
with y'all when things jumped off.
541
00:39:34,625 --> 00:39:36,210
Now, this right here is gospel.
542
00:39:36,210 --> 00:39:38,921
If you see a sister-- and I mean,
543
00:39:39,588 --> 00:39:42,299
really see her...
544
00:39:44,510 --> 00:39:48,222
Man, she'll have your back forever.
545
00:39:52,351 --> 00:39:56,313
[clears throat] I co-sign what Coach says.
546
00:39:57,105 --> 00:39:59,691
And I'm taking that
from my players handbook.
547
00:39:59,691 --> 00:40:02,653
Not "players." "Playas."
548
00:40:02,653 --> 00:40:04,238
[players laugh]
549
00:40:04,238 --> 00:40:06,198
[Drew chuckling] Oh.
550
00:40:06,698 --> 00:40:09,576
So-So-So that's where you got
that corny-ass line from.
551
00:40:09,576 --> 00:40:12,913
Hey. I don't know. It must be genetic.
552
00:40:12,913 --> 00:40:14,790
- [players laugh]
- [inhales sharply]
553
00:40:14,790 --> 00:40:17,584
Look, now, I know that has nothing to do
554
00:40:17,584 --> 00:40:19,211
with what you're fixing
to do on the court.
555
00:40:19,211 --> 00:40:20,462
But that's okay.
556
00:40:20,462 --> 00:40:24,091
Being judged on and off the court
is something that we're used to.
557
00:40:24,091 --> 00:40:26,677
Now they're saying that we might
not even make playoffs,
558
00:40:26,677 --> 00:40:28,595
let alone win a national championship.
559
00:40:28,595 --> 00:40:31,473
Now, if we could just come together--
560
00:40:31,473 --> 00:40:34,810
not just as a team, but as a family,
561
00:40:35,310 --> 00:40:37,521
we'll be unbeatable.
562
00:40:39,356 --> 00:40:41,733
We'll be unbreakable.
563
00:40:42,734 --> 00:40:43,777
Musa.
564
00:40:44,361 --> 00:40:46,113
Now that was my motivational speech.
565
00:40:46,113 --> 00:40:47,739
[laughing]
566
00:40:47,739 --> 00:40:48,740
Now, y'all... [stammers] ...you know,
567
00:40:48,740 --> 00:40:51,785
I-I-- I really miss
the chant y'all used to do.
568
00:40:51,785 --> 00:40:53,787
I-- I don't-- I forget how it goes.
569
00:40:53,787 --> 00:40:57,749
But if y'all could just give me that--
that chant one more time.
570
00:40:57,749 --> 00:40:59,209
I-I could really use it, please.
571
00:40:59,209 --> 00:41:00,878
- I got you, Coach.
- Start it up, Nick.
572
00:41:00,878 --> 00:41:03,046
- [players chattering]

573
00:41:03,046 --> 00:41:06,216

Hey.

[sighs] Crys.
585
00:42:02,064 --> 00:42:04,483
[sighs] I'm sorry.
586
00:42:06,944 --> 00:42:10,822
I'm sorry too. I should've told you.
587
00:42:10,822 --> 00:42:15,327
I just didn't want you to have
something else to feel bad about.
588
00:42:17,663 --> 00:42:21,625
I know. But I made it about me
when it should've been about you.
589
00:42:24,253 --> 00:42:28,841
No matter what happens to me,
I'll always be happy for you.
590

[chuckles]
591
00:42:39,560 --> 00:42:41,645
- [host] And now...
- [phone buzzing]
592
00:42:41,645 --> 00:42:43,981

Hi.

Heard you had a good game.

Uh, yeah. I had 35 and a win.

Wow. [chuckles] That's some, uh,
sappy shit.
682

Gone all the way?

Me neither.
