Alexa & Katie (2018) s01e03 Episode Script
Basketball
1 High school was going pretty good.
Katie and I both had our new wigs, and no one even knew I had cancer.
The best part of our day was lunch.
IT HAD TWO OF MY FAVORITE THINGS: food and gossip.
OK, gossip.
I heard Courtney Stillman is in a Target commercial.
I heard Lorraine and Tanya are fighting again.
We're not talking about your great-aunts, Hannah.
It's still juicy.
Tell me later.
I heard that a girl in our grade has cancer.
Nobody likes a gossip, Toby.
You guys, who told? - I didn't tell.
- I didn't tell.
- I told.
- Hannah! - Who did you tell? - Lady Gaga.
But it was just in a dream.
We also ate apples dipped in chocolate and I flew on her back.
Oh, OK, so people know, but they don't know it's you.
Everyone will figure it out when I don't try out for basketball this week.
Who are these people following your every move? People do, Katie.
They just do.
Oh! Hey, Alexa.
Look at you, sitting down.
That will be great practice for warming the bench this year.
Oh, it's you, Gwenny! Well, that explains the smell.
I thought a rat died in the vent.
Go ahead and laugh.
You'll be crying Friday when I beat you out for point guard.
Ha! Joke's on you, Gwenny.
She can't try out this year.
- Hannah! - Why not? Because I'm joining an after-school club.
The Losers Club? That's not even a thing.
And And if it were, it would be made of you.
Bam! No? I've got you When I can't take it any longer You make me feel stronger I've got you When I can't take it You make it so much better We'll do this together Oh-oh-oh-oh, we'll do this together I've got you Oh-oh-oh We'll do this together Oh, great.
My smother's not home.
Hey, that's mean.
OK, Lori's always there for you with a blanket, a hug, a sandwich and OK, your smother.
Mm-hm.
Yeah, it's gotten worse since school started.
She comes home from work early just to stare at me.
Is that her? Oh, man! Here come the hugs.
Can we just get to the hugs? Hi, sweetheart.
How was school? Horrible.
I can't be on the basketball team.
Oh, honey.
And I have to spend the whole season watching Gwenny Thompson play.
That evil little ferret! Mom! Sorry.
Your illness has made me a little extra protective.
- I shouldn't have said that.
- No, no, that's good.
Lean into that.
- I have good news.
- Ooh! What is it? What is it? Ah, hold on.
I've been burned by this before.
So, you know I've been coming home from work a little early every day.
- Oh, I'm aware.
- Mm.
I won't be doing that any more.
Wow.
Ms.
Ember and I put our heads together and we figured out a way I could work from home.
This home? Yeah.
So you'll be here? All the time.
I'm gonna call your father, but when I get back we're gonna sit down, and I want to hear everything about today.
Every little detail.
I can't believe this! We're taking the long way home from school.
Like through the field? Like through Florida.
Pants! Oh, right.
Hey, Mom.
Hey.
- What are you doing? - Homework.
That you're ashamed of? OK, don't laugh.
It's a dating site.
Go on.
My friend Melissa met a great guy on here, and they have a free three-day trial.
It's kind of stupid, I know, but Is that your yearbook picture? Very funny.
That was taken five years ago or so.
Hmm.
- "Swimmer"? - I have never drowned.
- "Psychologist"? - I'm taking classes.
Everybody fudges a little bit on these things.
"No kids"? Better get back to my homework.
That lady's pretty.
Who is it? That's Mommy.
What happened? I heard Haley told Stacy, she heard it from Ashley that Whitney's mom found out from Jackie's mom that Britney is the one with cancer.
I'm Britney.
Oh.
Yeah.
Well, I'm happy it's not you.
Alexa is so sick.
- Oh, no! You know? - Yeah, Alexa's got mad skills.
Yeah, don't get in my way When I'm taking the rock to the Katie! - Hi! - You were playing basketball? I was gonna go straight home, but I heard the shoes squeaking and the net swishing, and a part of my brain just said, "We're doing this!" And now that same part is saying I need to sit down.
See, this is why the doctor said you can't play sports right now.
I can't do sports, can't do clubs, can't do anything fun.
How do you live this way, Katie? Oh, I have fun keeping my insane friend in line.
Looking good in there, Mendoza.
- I think we've found our starter.
- Really? No, I just like to get kids' hopes up and then knock them down.
Yes, really.
I'll see you at tryouts.
- Tell her.
- I can't be on the team.
What? Why not? My work with troubled kids.
They depend on me, Coach.
Mikey, Becky, little JoJo.
That goofy smile, it just melts your heart.
Wow.
So I get screwed? Great.
At least we have Gwenny Thompson.
Gwenny? Wait! Uh You should check out my friend, Hoops! - Hoops? - Hoops? Yeah! She's a little gangly and a bit of a daydreamer but an amazing natural talent.
Well, come to tryouts Hoops.
"Hoops"? What the heck? Also, I was hoping my high-school nickname could be "The Blizzard.
" - I'm sorry.
It just came out.
- Forget it.
Katie, I just want to be on the team so bad.
And if you get on the team, it will be like I'm on the team.
Except I'll be on the team.
Well, we share everything, right? OK, when you're sad, I'm sad.
When you're happy, I'm happy.
When you're playing basketball, I'm playing basketball.
Oh! Alexa, what are you doing at the gym? Are you going to be the equipment girl? Because I like my towels extra fluffy.
OK, I'm not You can't I won't Ooh, burn! She's here with me, OK? I'm going out for the team.
And my name is Hoops.
Hoops! OMG.
This is going to be fun.
Yeah? Yeah, fun in your face! What about Frank? He likes to play video games and he lives with his mom.
Frank's perfect.
I'm sure that's what his mother tells him.
- Let's just - Wait, look at Blake.
He likes collecting knives and camping in the deep woods.
Mommy wants to come back from her date.
OK, go wash your hands.
And don't eat peanut butter with your fingers.
Sucker.
- How's it going? - Mm.
Terrible.
I wasted two hours on that stupid dating site and I have a psychology paper due I haven't even figured out a theme for.
- Are you bald in high school? - No.
Talk to me then.
What's this about? OK.
All right, don't laugh.
Playing basketball.
Ha! Go on.
I'm trying out for the team.
Honey, I know I told you you could do anything you put your mind to, but that's really just a saying.
I'm doing it for Alexa, OK? Her doctor won't let her play, so she's coaching me to do it for her.
Hey, we learned about this in school.
She is compensating for her inability to perform critical identity functions by living vicariously through a surrogate.
Poor Alexa.
Oh, I think I have my psych paper! I-I'm going to change your names.
All right, take it to the hoop, Cooper! OK.
Very good, Katie.
What did you forget? The ball? Look at you! OK, last time you didn't even know the answer to that question.
I'm getting better.
OK.
So, I'm going to take it to the hole.
Where are you supposed to be? Fronting you.
Right, good.
All right.
So why aren't you fronting me? I don't know what that means.
You get in front of me, OK? Between me and the basket.
Then shouldn't it be called "betweening"? Closer.
- Closer.
- Oh, maybe I can't do this.
- Yes, you can.
- Alexa's right.
- Really? - Yeah, you can do this.
You're a quick learner.
You've got the height.
I've, uh, got the height? You just need a better coach.
I'm doing just fine, Lucas.
She just needs to concentrate.
Right, Katie? Katie? The Blizzard? You know what? Maybe you do need a better coach.
Lucas is a great coach.
Some people say I can be a great coach, some say I have great hair.
I say both can be true.
How would you like Lucas to be your coach? I guess that would be all right.
Yeah, I can give you some pointers sometime, Katie.
Cool! Tomorrow's good.
Or the next day, but I can move stuff if I have to.
- I'll text you.
- Not if I text you first! What are you doing? There's no breakfast.
Where's Mom? I don't know.
I came down here for breakfast, like always, and there's no breakfast.
Just this empty plate.
Mom! I tried that.
I'm out of ideas.
I thought she was working from home so she could do more for us.
She hasn't told me to put anything warm on since I got up this morning, and I'm actually a little chilly.
Don't look at me.
I don't know where the warm things are.
I can get that.
Oh, thanks, Mom.
Can you get me the fuzzy afghan? And waffles? I can't get it until the end of the week.
Should we just call her on her work line? I tried.
She blocked me.
OK.
Well, we'll touch base on Monday.
Bye, Raha.
Hey, guys.
Isn't this great? I can work from home and still be with you guys.
Oh, crap! My conference call with Madrid.
Hey, honey, can you make some more coffee? Oh, me? How do I even This is Lori.
¡Hola! Hey.
Who's on? Hey, Eduardo, Gabriel.
Babe, I could really use that coffee.
Hey, Alexa.
So uh where's Lucas? I'm ready for practice.
Are you wearing make-up? I-I hugged my mom.
Maybe some rubbed off.
OK, Katie.
Let's see what you got.
Take a shot from there.
Am I holding it right? No.
You have to hold your left hand under - Like this? - Here, I'll show you.
I can't watch this.
All right.
Now, when you launch the ball, push with your right hand and follow through.
Let her rip.
OK.
You know what? Maybe defense is more your thing.
I'm gonna try to score.
You try to guard me.
Come in on me.
Get closer.
Wow.
Yeah.
Uh-huh.
OK.
Come on, Katie.
You've really got to get up on me.
OK, that's a foul, Katie.
Oh.
Um H-How many do I get? Right here.
- Now, don't let me get by you.
- Not a chance.
Here we go.
- I-I got you.
- That's it! - I'm doing it! - Yeah, you are! Hold it.
It's Dylan.
Sorry, I've got to hit him back.
Good work.
You're gonna be a beast.
- You know that cancer rumor? - Yeah.
- I think it's Rachel.
- What makes you say that? I asked her out.
She said no.
What else could it be? Good D, Hoops.
Terrible nickname.
All right.
Tryouts are tomorrow.
I want you to check the roster for your starting times.
Good luck, guys.
And remember, if you don't make it, the tennis team takes everybody.
- Hey, did you hear the coach? - Yeah, you're doing great.
We got a compliment! You got a compliment.
Remember, we're doing this together.
Yeah, right, right.
Alexa! I thought you had your Quitters Club meeting? No, it was the Gwenny Thompson Smells meeting.
We all agreed and quickly adjourned.
All that free time not playing basketball and that's the best you can do? I'm happy you finally agreed you can never beat me.
I can beat you anytime, anywhere.
Alexa, no.
Let's do it.
Right here, right now, one on one.
- She can't.
- Why not? - Just tell her.
- Tell me what? That you're a little baby chicken? Alexa! You don't know anything, Gwenny! Baby chickens peep! Yeah, so I can have that to you by tomorrow, Afnhan.
Good, she's home.
Mom! Shh! Sorry.
A colleague's daughter.
It's like, get some day care, right? So I really think you're gonna like the offer we have for you.
Alexa! Lori Oh! Yeah, it's uh No-Pants Thursday.
Hey.
You OK? Nice outfit.
Hm.
Business, casual.
Did something happen at school? Honey, I am here for you.
No, you're not.
You were here for me a lot more when you went to work.
You're right.
I'm sorry.
I've been going through an adjustment period.
I had no idea my assistant worked so hard.
But from now on, I promise, I will be here for you any time you need me.
I don't need you.
Oh.
- OK, I'll go.
- Don't go.
OK.
You want to talk? No.
So charades? Just stay with me? OK.
- Can you start wearing pants? - We'll see.
Are you on that dating site? My free trial is over.
We're month-to-month now.
Jack! Meet Roland.
He's got a gold tooth! You know, Jack, this isn't a game.
Mommy might meet somebody on a site who could become your new stepfather.
Well, maybe not a site like this.
You and Dad aren't getting back together? No.
We talked about that, bud.
I know.
You know, you haven't talked to your dad in a couple of days.
Let's give him a call, huh? OK.
Hi, Robbie.
Jack wants to talk to you.
- Thanks, Mom.
- Mm-hmm.
Dad? Hi.
I beat your Mario Kart score! Ooh! Roland has a catamaran.
Mendoza takes it to the right elbow, pops a 15-footer.
She's on fire! Mendoza again at the top of the key.
Boomshakalaka! Mendoza steals the ball and throws up a prayer.
God's in a good mood.
Save your stubs, folks.
You'll want to tell your grandkids you were here tonight.
Oh.
Hey, Hoops.
Coach.
You were good out there today.
I'm really excited for you.
You know what? Who cares what Gwenny Thompson thinks? It's not that.
Watching you play didn't do what I hoped it would.
It made me miss being out there more than ever.
I just have to accept there are some things I'm gonna miss out on.
I'm sorry.
But I still want to do this for you.
No matter what happens, we can't lose sight of the most important thing.
Friendship.
Taking Gwenny Thompson down.
So, how exactly do you plan on taking Gwenny down? - Uh, duh! With my mad skills.
- Oh.
Cooper has the ball! Three seconds left! This is for the championship! Skyhook! The charcoal lighter! - Oh, my God! - We should probably go in now.
It's got to be Taylor Franklin.
She looks so pale.
I heard it was Alisha Bratman.
She was gone all summer.
But what about Kelly Blitt? She cries a lot.
Oh.
Hey, guys.
Tryouts today, right? Listen, Katie, these are my lucky wristbands.
- I don't know if you - Thank you! I probably should have washed them first.
No, they're they're fine.
Well, good luck.
Ew! Hey! Hey, no fair! Hoops can handle it.
- Who's Hoops? - Who cares? We're here for Katie.
Stay in the game, Cooper! Katie didn't end up making the team that day.
But she definitely made an impression.
Face! It's Katie! Katie's the one who has cancer! Hey! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I've got you Oh-oh-oh-oh We'll do this together

You're right.
I'm sorry.
I've been going through an adjustment period.
I had no idea my assistant worked so hard.
But from now on, I promise, I will be here for you any time you need me.
I don't need you.
Oh.
- OK, I'll go.
- Don't go.
OK.
You want to talk? No.
So charades? Just stay with me? OK.
- Can you start wearing pants? - We'll see.
Are you on that dating site? My free trial is over.
We're month-to-month now.
Jack! Meet Roland.
He's got a gold tooth! You know, Jack, this isn't a game.
Mommy might meet somebody on a site who could become your new stepfather.
Well, maybe not a site like this.
You and Dad aren't getting back together? No.
We talked about that, bud.
I know.
You know, you haven't talked to your dad in a couple of days.
Let's give him a call, huh? OK.
Hi, Robbie.
Jack wants to talk to you.
- Thanks, Mom.
- Mm-hmm.
Dad? Hi.
I beat your Mario Kart score! Ooh! Roland has a catamaran.
Mendoza takes it to the right elbow, pops a 15-footer.
She's on fire! Mendoza again at the top of the key.
Boomshakalaka! Mendoza steals the ball and throws up a prayer.
God's in a good mood.
Save your stubs, folks.
You'll want to tell your grandkids you were here tonight.
Oh.
Hey, Hoops.
Coach.
You were good out there today.
I'm really excited for you.
You know what? Who cares what Gwenny Thompson thinks? It's not that.
Watching you play didn't do what I hoped it would.
It made me miss being out there more than ever.
I just have to accept there are some things I'm gonna miss out on.
I'm sorry.
But I still want to do this for you.
No matter what happens, we can't lose sight of the most important thing.
Friendship.
Taking Gwenny Thompson down.
So, how exactly do you plan on taking Gwenny down? - Uh, duh! With my mad skills.
- Oh.
Cooper has the ball! Three seconds left! This is for the championship! Skyhook! The charcoal lighter! - Oh, my God! - We should probably go in now.
It's got to be Taylor Franklin.
She looks so pale.
I heard it was Alisha Bratman.
She was gone all summer.
But what about Kelly Blitt? She cries a lot.
Oh.
Hey, guys.
Tryouts today, right? Listen, Katie, these are my lucky wristbands.
- I don't know if you - Thank you! I probably should have washed them first.
No, they're they're fine.
Well, good luck.
Ew! Hey! Hey, no fair! Hoops can handle it.
- Who's Hoops? - Who cares? We're here for Katie.
Stay in the game, Cooper! Katie didn't end up making the team that day.
But she definitely made an impression.
Face! It's Katie! Katie's the one who has cancer! Hey! Oh-oh-oh-oh-oh I've got you Oh-oh-oh-oh We'll do this together
