"I'm not drinking because of what, you know, somebody said about me." "[ Voice breaking ] I'm drinking because" "I know what they said is true..." "And I'm just not ready for second string, Doc." "I don't know what to do about that." "Okay." "Well..." "I'm pretty sure that a bottle of vodka isn't gonna fix any of that." "Yeah." "I'm a failure." "[ Laughs ]" "Terrence, no." "You're human... and humans make mistakes." "What you need now -- besides a really strong cup of coffee -- is a sponsor." "[ Horns honking ]" "You're late." "I covered for you with Nico." "I know." "What's it gonna cost me?" "Thinking six figures." "It's kind of a big deal with coach resigning." "[ Click ]" "So, coach's resignation was just a setup." "He knew about the bounty program." "He also knew that he would take the fall unless he could prove he wasn't at the helm." "Well, bravo, Inspector Gadget." "Now I know why daddy kept you around all these years." "What were you thinking?" "I was thinking, "take out the opposing team's best player, and we'd have a better shot at winning."" "Try to prove you could play with the big boys, right?" "We've been winning." "You're gonna sell the team." "For real this time." "You can't make me do that." "No, I can't, but the league can, and they will when I tell them what you've been up to." "[ Voice breaking ] You would do that to me?" "[ Sighs ]" "I'm gonna protect you -- clean up this mess one last time -- then you're gonna pack up your toys and go home." "Without the team, I have nothing." "You have $1 billion." "I hope you decide to do something with it that will make your father proud." "[ Door opens ]" "Ma." "Hey, ma?" "Can we talk?" "I think we've done plenty of talking." "I'm going to my condo for the rest of the week." "[ Door opens ] [ Birds chirping ]" "You loved Eddie, didn't you?" "And you sacrificed that for us." "[ Sighs ]" "I did what I thought was best." "What can I say?" "I made a mistake, and I was weak." "No." "It took strength for you to stay." "[ Chuckles ]" "Probably not as much strength as it took for you to kick Ray out of the house." "[ Sighs ]" "What you did took guts, Dani -- guts I didn't have." "I don't think that either one of us had it easy, Ma." "Mm." "But I do think that we are both pretty, pretty gutsy." "[ Chuckles ]" "Let's say..." "I make my awesome meatloaf for dinner tonight, and you stay here and eat it?" "[ Sighs ]" "Sounds like a party to me." "[ Laughs ]" "♪ Four long years" "♪ and I don't know where I've been ♪" "So, um, Juliette's agreed to sell." "Nico:" "And the bounty system's dead and buried." "We made sure about that." "Thank you." ""We"?" "Since when did the two of you get so chummy?" "Well, desperate times..." "[ Both laugh ]" "So, listen, Pat, not many coaches in this league could have put up with the crap that you did the past 12 months." "Yeah, well, talk is cheap." "Well, this sure isn't." "There's your five-year extension." "Faxed it over to your agent this morning." "You giving me this because I agreed to play your patsy?" "I'm giving you that 'cause you earned it." "Congratulations." "Dr. Dani." "Hey, guys." "Hey." "Hey." "How you feeling, Coach?" "I feel like I've been put through the ringer twice over." "[ Chuckles ]" "Well, I know someone else who might feel put through the ringer." "Oh, yeah." "My sweet girl." "I hope she can forgive me." "I've been a bat out of hell lately." "Something tells me that she will." "[ Chuckles ]" "Could the both of you excuse me a minute?" "Mm-hmm." "Of course." "Santino comes through in the clutch again." "All's well that ends well."

"That's just as well, seeing as I'm not going to be your boss anymore." "What?" "Are you firing me?" "Did my mom tell you to do this?" "She did." "No." "Then why are you letting me go?" "I'm letting go of the Hawks." "You're selling the team?" "Oh, come on." "How's a girl supposed to have any fun with all these rules and regulations?" "Well, it was -- it was fun while it lasted." "Just because our work relationship is over, it doesn't mean we have to be, butterscotch." "Trust me." "We can get into a lot more trouble away from the Hawks than we ever could if I stayed there."
