C. O. R. E. Score!
[cheering]
Shabooya!
Come on, girls! Bulldog bark!
Woof woof woof! Woof woof.
Why am I the only one woofing?
Because we're going to lose Bella.
We're gonna win.
Coach knows the Warthogs know this is
the perfect time for a play action pass.
This is a perfect time for a play action pass.
Yeah, we're not doing that.
Remember what Coach said last time you ignored him?
Nope. Wasn't listening.
Set! Hut!
- What is he doing? - What's he doing?
- That's not the play! - That's not the play!
[groaning, whistle blowing]
What was Troy thinking?
All he had to do was take the run,
spin and fire it deep.
Oh.
Hey, girl with the freakishly strong arm!
You want a try out for quarterback?!
Who me? QB?
Who her?
Q what?
Set, hut!
Can you believe it?
A chance to be quarterback of the Bulldogs.
That's my dream.
I know. Plus, you get to hit boys legally.
Um, Bella, look.
[music playing]
Bella as quarterback, thoughts?
Well, she threw the ball once with the wind.
There's no way she can do that again.
Oh, come on.
No one with half a brain would agree with that.
You've gotta go for it.
I'm just gonna miss having you on the cheer squad.
The cheer squad.
We've got our biggest competition
of the year on Thursday. You can't leave us for football.
Are you nuts?
Someone's got to catch me in the basket toss,
and it's sure not gonna be Pepper.
It's true, I would drop her.
Sophie, I'll be there.
I'm not going to bail on my cheer sisters
when they need me the most.
Cheer promise.
Hand to heart, hope to die, stick a pom pom in my eye.
I am not cool with this.
It's just wrong.
Chill, brochachos.
No one can replace the Troy, especially a girl.
Hey, everybody.
[shrieking]
Guys, I know this is weird,
but all I'm asking for is a chance to prove I can play.
Listen up, Bella. Football is a man's game,
from the man, Steak.
Hoo-ra!
Bella now, you have the arm, you know the game,
but you're still untested.
But this is Texas, we go big or we go home.
Gentlemen, say hello to your new quarterback.
[laughing] [screaming]
I just figured out a way to make Bella quit.
Can you put fake horns on Crazy Nellie?
Yes, I can.
Oh, hey, teammates.
You are just what this team needs.
I am?
Yep. All you have to do is go through the official initiation.
I'm getting initiated? Could this day get any better?
I'll see you in an hour.
So excited.
Yay.
Oh, she is so going down.
Bella Dawson.
This is your Bulldog initiation.
Slap that bull.
Bull?
[screaming] Slap that bull! Slap that bull!
See, what I tell you, boys?
I wanna slap the bull!
Don't!
[mooing]
[screaming]
Mad cow!
Very mad cow!
I'm here, guys.
Whoo!
Oh, no.
What happened?
Clearly, someone hasn't downloaded
my McFumbles App.
Only 99 cents for a limited time.
Let's watch it in painfully slow mo.
Ow.
Did I catch you?
It was more painful in person.
In all my minutes of covering this majestic sport,
I've never seen such a tragedy.
But it made for great TV. Thanks.
[unintelligible]
I hope football is worth it.
But- but guys, if you would just-
Set! Ready!
Ow.
Hut, hut, hike.
[groaning]
Dawson... my office... now.
What in the world is going on with you?
I'm trying to give you a shot here,
and I got a lot of people telling me I'm crazy.
Help me out.
I'm sorry, Coach.
I'm just having a really hard time right now.
This game is too big for me to take a risk on a player
who can't guarantee me 100%.
Yeah, I'm sorry. You're off the team.
I understand, Coach.
Hey, just the ladies I wanted to thank.
Thank? For what?
You did what praying for or Medior couldn't.
You got Bella kicked off the team.
- What? - How?
She was so bummed about messing up
your cheer thing, she fell apart
at practice and coach cut her.
Bella got kicked off the team and you're celebrating?
You are horrible people.
Wait a minute. Aren't you happy about this too?
Why would we be happy about that?
Don't you know how much football means to her?
We have to talk to her. Come on.
I hate to see you like this.
I'm gonna show you something.
Whoa! What an arm.
Throw it back, Daddy.
It's getting pretty late, Bella.
Yeah, maybe we should head inside, kiddo?
- No. - Okay. Five more minutes?
Yes.
Go long. Whoa. Oh, touchdown!
- Shabooyah! - [chuckles]
That little girl loved football more than anything.
I'm going to talk to coach.
We were so wrong.
You need to get coach to put you back on the team.
You know what, guys? You're absolutely right.
What are we waiting for? Let's go.
Let's go woof woof! Let's go Bulldogs! Let's go!
Now, we have 15 seconds to win.
Even if Slurry could get open, I can't throw that far, Coach.
Ah, man.
I can.
Dawson, what are you doing here?
I'm here because I love football more than anything.
I'm sorry. I can't deal with this right now.
I have a game to win.
Let's go Bulldogs! Let's go! Woof woof!
Then play Bella.
Guys, look, she's the best quarterback we've got,
and she would have been out there all game
if we hadn't been such jerks.
It's true, they were terrible.
I never thought I'd say this, but Bella's our only shot.
- Yeah, she is. - Give her a chance.
Come on, Coach, please.
Well, then what are you waiting for, Dawson?
Get your uniform on.
[whistle blowing]
[Stronger by Kelly Clarkson playing]
That's my girl!
Whoo!
[cheering] [Stronger by Kelly Clarkson playing]
[cheering]
[laughing] Guys, look, it's a girl.
You get lost on your way to the mall?
[unintelligible]
[laughing]
[cheering in distance]
Down! Set! Hut! Hut!
[whistle blowing]
Shabooyah!
[cheering]
[unintelligible]
Hey, there's my quarterback.
My bad. Winning makes me emotional.
