I gotta ask you something.
Okay.
Is there something happening between you and Riggins, Lyla?
No! Why would you even say that Jason?
‘Cause I saw you in the parking lot the other night.
You saw us. Doing what?
I don't know. No--Nothing I guess.
That's crazy. I love you. Jason, you know that don't you?
I do. I just had to ask. I'm sorry.
Matt, that's the thing. You're not listening to me. If you look at a girl like a geometry proof the answer is just right in front of you. It's your job to find the missing variable. You gotta solve for x.
Yeah, um, that's actually algebra.
That's actually not the point.
Have you, um, you haven't maybe thought about um, maybe, what I, what I asked you the other night about maybe going out.
Uh, yeah, yeah. I'm considering.
Considering.
I-I just--
No, no. That's great.
[about playing quad rugby] I'm ready. I told you I'm ready.
Jason, you're not ready.
Phil come on. Everyday it's about how--how great my progress has been, how unusual I am. What's the worse that could happen, huh? I fall out of my chair and break my neck, oh wait that already happened didn't it.
You could tear your rotator cuff. You can get a concussion. Worst case scenario, your fusion's still healing. You don't seem to know what that means so let me spell it out for you. Those little bits of bone are all that's protecting your spinal cord at your injury site. You know how you can use your hands, screw up your fusion, no more grip, then what? I want you to think long and hard about this before you do it.
All right, listen up. I'm supposed to give you some fatherly and wise advice at this time in your life. Listen up, if you're wondering if a boy's thinking about you, he's not. He's thinking about sex or he's hungry, those are the only two options.
Are you trying to be funny?
No, I'm not finished, listen to me. Boys think about sex every single minute of the day. That's what they do, that's why they lie. They're gonna leave you waiting around for them to call and they won't call. They're gonna be cruel and they're gonna be misleading, and your mother wanted me to add this, that by in large football players are the worst offenders, however, I think that it pretty much crosses all lines.
Are you done?
You are beautiful, you are sensitive, you are sweet and I don't want to see you get hurt.
I love you too, dad.
You're a lousy ping-pong player, though.
