ALEX: Previously on
The Mighty Ducks: Game Changers
- WINNIE: Are you a single mom?
- Yeah. So single.
The kid does not have a dad.
I mean, technically,
obviously he has a dad,
but he's never been in the picture
I'm Lauren. Outside,
I'm a female warrior,
and people say I dress weird.
(GRUNTS)
Hips, hands, stick.
Like a cannon.
(HESITATING) Um, I wanted to come by
and congratulate you on the slap shot.
And I, uh, brought the pecan pie.
- Would you like to come in?
- Yeah, sure.
- ALEX: Okay.
- Yeah, thanks.
Okay, let's move on
to a cycle give and go.
And then we'll do some
corner to half wall drills.
And then we'll just let it rise.
I think the last one was for baking.
- Ha!
- But, uh, pretty good.
Thank you.
Give and go to Sofi.
Emphasis on "give", please.
Looking good. Looking like a team.
Thanks.
Hey, um, if you wanna get inspired,
maybe we could catch a Wild game.
Minnesota Wild, they play hockey.
(CHUCKLING) Oh. You know,
obviously, it's my favorite team.
They have that player Gorgan-Gorgonzola?
Yeah.
(CHUCKLING) Anyway, they're
playing the Oilers on Friday
and, uh, I bought two tickets,
and right now it's just me plus none.
You mean like a Like a
field trip? Like, for research?
- Exactly.
- Right. Um
Evan Morrow!
(INDISTINCT GRUNTING AND CHATTER)
- Dad!
- What's up?
- How's it goin'?
- What's happening?
(GRUNTS) So I just made the same
entrance over at the Ducks rink
before I found out you
didn't play there anymore.
Why'd you leave them? I
thought they were really good.
Wow, that's Evan's dad.
What is he doing here?
That guy's your ex?
Well, more like my never was.
- Hey, Blue.
- Hey.
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING)
Hey, Dad, check this one out.
We call this the double helix.
(MAYA PANTING)
(EVAN GRUNTS)
Nice! Nice! Ev!
He's a musician.
He's on the road all the time.
Evan hasn't seen him in seven months.
That's rough.
And yet he manages to
still be the cool parent.
He took Evan on this fishing
trip to Pelican Lake last year.
Evan had the time of his life.
Promptly broke out in poison ivy.
So Rob gets all the credit for
taking him on this amazing trip
and I spent two weeks
dabbing a cranky 11-year-old
with calamine lotion so that
his rash wouldn't spread.
And it did spread to me.
But I try to be nice.
I don't bad mouth him,
'cause Evan deserves
to feel like he has a father,
even though he basically does not.
- Well, at least it's not eating at you.
- (CHUCKLING) Exactly.
Hey, what's up?
Ha! (BLOWS RASPBERRY)
Nothing. What's up with you?
Ev says you started
this whole team for him?
Yeah, it was just a crazy,
spur-of-the-moment decision.
You know, we know something about that?
- Yes, we do.
- (BOTH CHUCKLE)
So you didn't have time to call or text?
You know what, it's hard,
'cause I never know my schedule.
Oh, speaking of "spur-of-the-moment",
can Ev come to my gig tonight?
I'm playing Tito's Bar and Restaurant.
No, Rob, he can't.
He's 12 years old. He can't go to a bar.
- And restaurant.
- It's a school night.
He has homework. I have work.
I'm behind at the office.
I (SCOFFS) No.
ROB: Oh, damn.
He's gonna be disappointed.
Rob, you asked him already?
Great. Now I'm the bad guy?
- Why
- I can take him.
I can drive him there and
back at a reasonable hour.
Kid's got homework, right?
You can't mess with that.
See, things work out.
This guy can take him.
Yeah, Mom. Bombay can take me.
It would be like a guys' night.
I've been having ladies' night
ever since I was born.
- Please, can I go? Please?
- (ALEX SIGHS)
Please.
- Better have all your homework done
- Yes!
and home by 9:00.
Excellent. Okay. I gotta
jump. Sound check.
Thanks, guy. Evan, it
is gonna be awesome.
"Gotta jump", guys.
Thank you. Be careful.
Last time I went to a bar
with Rob, I ended up pregnant.
That probably won't happen with me.
Hey. You okay?
No! Someone took my cape!
Don't take this the wrong way,
but I'm not sure anyone
really wants your cape.
Well, it's not here,
and it's whispersilk,
and I can't go outside without it.
And everything's outside.
It's right here, under your (RATTLES)
- conjurer stones.
- (GASPS)
Okay. (CHUCKLES SOFTLY)
That was kind of intense.
Why is this such a big deal?
Sorry.
(SIGHS)
In third grade, I had scoliosis
and had to wear a back brace.
Everyone made fun of me.
So my dad got me this cape to hide it.
(SIGHS)
He said I was a superhero.
Third grade's a nightmare.
That's when I moved here from New York.
All the kids made fun
of the way I talked.
How did you talk?
(IN NEW YORK ACCENT)
Can I have a glass of water?
- Or a cup of coffee?
- (LAUREN GIGGLES)
(IN NORMAL ACCENT) I sounded
like a truck driver. Oh, my God.
I worked so hard to get rid of
that accent, so I could fit in here.
It's pretty cool that you
don't care what people think.
Well, you can talk
however you want with me.
Hey, let's do a TikTok.
Do your New York voice.
Oh, yeah. But you have
to talk funny, too.
Um, I know Elvish.
I don't know what that means,
but, yes. (CHUCKLES)
(IN NEW YORK ACCENT) In
New York, we drink coffee.
(IN ELVISH ACCENT) In Middle
Earth, we drink mornechui.
(UPBEAT RAP MUSIC PLAYING)
(BOTH CHUCKLE)
- (CHUCKLES) I love it!
- I'm so posting this.
Hey, Evan, that door is broken.
You gotta get in the driver's
side and slide across.
- Here, give me that.
- (CHUCKLING) Thanks.
GORDON: No, wait!
I use that stick to
keep the glovebox shut.
- (ENGINE STARTS)
- (CLASSIC FOLK MUSIC PLAYING ON RADIO)
Sorry. The radio's
stuck on classic folk.
You hate it at first,
but then after a while,
you hate it even more.
(ENGINE REVS)
All my friends coming down tonight ♪
All my friends coming down tonight ♪
Aren't they great?
Yeah. I mean, it's
basically three chords.
And then we make it all right ♪
- Whoo!
- (AUDIENCE CHEERING)
EVAN: Yeah!
That was awesome, Dad.
Yeah? Oh, thanks, man.
You know, it's basically
three chords so
EVAN: Well, how's tour going?
Crazy. Crazy. We've been all over,
uh, Jonesborough,
Springfield, Bloomington.
Every night. A new town,
a new motel. Same smell.
Sweet.
We stayed in this really
weird place last night
in Davenport. The Hartley.
Dude, I think it was haunted.
- No!
- Weird footsteps outside your door?
(CHUCKLING) Yeah, yeah.
How did you know?
That's Barry, their
creepy night manager.
- (ROB CHUCKLES)
- I'm surprised he's still there.
I thought for sure
they'd find him guilty.
So you stayed there?
Yeah, back in the day when I
used to play minor league hockey.
Oh, cool. So you've
been on the road, too.
Oh, yeah. I mean, I practically
lived on the team bus.
- Oh, yeah.
- We'd do some crazy things.
Like we converted the toilet
hookup into a beer keg.
And if you had to go, you
had to go out the window.
Dude, we used to hang our
drummer out the window.
- Our first drummer.
- (AL CHUCKLING)
We would have these crazy
food eating contests.
- Oh, yeah.
- Pizza, sliders,
- and one time, I ate 50 mini tacos.
- Ooh.
- I threw up afterwards.
- (CHUCKLES)
But it was totally unrelated.
(ROB AND EVAN CHUCKLING)
- Enjoy.
- ROB: Ah!
Wing eating contest?
I'm already winnin'.
No way.
(EVAN CHUCKLES)
Twelve.
- This will be 13.
- Okay.
More wings.
GORDON: Oh, mmm.
That's 27.
- Are you thinking what I'm thinking?
- Yeah.
- BOTH: More hot sauce.
- Whoa.
Forty-two?
(CELL PHONE VIBRATING)
Guys, guys. It's my mom.
Hey, Mom.
ALEX: Hi! I've been texting and calling.
Do you have any idea what time it is?
- Wing time.
- Not funny.
Yeah. Sorry. Bad joke.
I'm outside. Get your butt out here now.
Okay. Love you.
Say it back, please.
- I love you. Hustle!
- Okay, bye.
She's waiting outside. I gotta go.
- I'll walk you out. Unless you want to.
- No.
Bye, Dad.
I guess I won.
(KEYPAD CLACKING)
Thanks for letting me walk
into that buzz saw, bro.
She was so angry, she
almost ran over my foot.
Yeah, I've had a lot of experience
disappointing her over the years.
You know, chasing my dream.
Right. Good for you,
you're still going for it.
If you want my advice
on making up with her,
I had this one move. Always worked.
No, it's not like that between us. No.
- Oh, I'm sorry. I just assumed that
- No. No, it's okay. No, no.
We're good.
What was that move?
So, uh
Dad said he can come
to our game Thursday.
Yeah? That'll be great.
Okay, it's late. You
should get some sleep.
We're playing against the Hawks.
They're the second
worst team in the league.
BOTH: Might actually beat those guys.
- And Dad will be there to see it.
- And that'll be great.
- I know what you're thinking.
- (GASPS) What am I thinking?
You're thinking that
he's not gonna show up.
And you're just saying
all this good stuff
to make me feel better
about him or whatever.
Come on. I was smiling. I was upbeat.
Mom, I get who Dad is.
You don't have to keep faking it for me.
Wow.
(SIGHS) All right. The truth is,
he's not always a reliable guy.
So I know he said he's gonna be there,
but he might not be there.
I know, but I just feel like
hoping he's gonna be there.
Can we, for a minute,
believe that he'll show up?
Yeah, we can do that. (CHUCKLES)
Come here. Oh! Good night. (KISSES)
- Good night.
- Excuse me.
Do I smell beer on your breath?
- No, no, no. It's it's on my shirt.
- Oh, so much better.
- EVAN: Good night.
- Good night. I love you.
I love you, too.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
(UPBEAT MUSIC PLAYING ON CELL PHONE)
Man. Maya's new TikTok is sick.
- Yeah.
- Is that the one she did with me?
Oh. No, not with you.
Where's mine?
Um
I don't see it here.
I guess your TikTok
didn't make her feed.
Why wouldn't she post our TikTok?
I think I know why.
But I'm scared to say, for I am
small and you have nunchucks.
So for the next TikTok,
I was thinking maybe, is
matching outfits too much?
What's going on?
Our video isn't cool
enough for your friends?
Okay. It's a hockey thing.
I was trying to protect you
from people making fun of you.
Oh, come on. I'm not an idiot.
You can't just be nice to me
when your normies aren't around.
That's not being friends.
Okay, so here's a brief
for you to redline.
I won't look at it until tomorrow.
I have a charity event to
save the manatees tonight,
which, honestly, if nature
wants to let them go,
I'll say, maybe it's time.
Mmm-hmm, mmm-hmm.
You seem a little distracted.
Let's bring some of that Slap Shot
Challenge energy to your actual job.
(CHUCKLES SOFTLY) Sorry,
Evan's, uh, dad is in town
and he kept him out last night
at a bar until midnight.
(GASPS) Your life is so colorful.
It's a kaleidoscope.
Yeah, I remember that guy.
- Musician, right? I'm jealous.
- Mmm-hmm.
You know, I always fall for the
stable, MBA, titan-of-industry types.
- I'm so boring.
- (GRUNTS)
You always go for the rebels.
Evan's dad. Now Bombay.
- What?
- Oh, come on.
I saw some chemistry between you
guys, and he's certainly your type.
You know, I have to scoot.
(SIGHS) Time to drink Prosecco
and save some fat animals.
(SIGHS SOFTLY)
Alex. (SIGHS)
- Hi.
- Hi.
Uh, last night
(HESITATES) I'm sorry. It was crazy.
There were wings, hot sauce.
I mean, it was all a blur.
Anyway, we're sorry.
(SCOFFS)
A unicorn. (SCOFFS)
Bombay gave me a unicorn.
Are you mad because it has a horn?
'Cause it was just born that way.
No, I'm mad because this is exactly
what Rob, my ex, used to do.
He'd give me a stuffed animal
every time he screwed up.
That was his move.
How could I be so stupid?
Do you ever feel like you're just
attracted to the same kind of guy?
No. No. All my guys, totally different.
There's the cocoa guy.
The mustard guy, the pretzel guy.
The hot dog guy, the
pretzel hot dog guy.
(SIGHS) Oh, hi. Um,
listen, something came up,
so I'm not gonna be able to make
it to the Wild game after all.
Thanks, but no thanks.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGING)
GIRL: Oh, that's so cool
Uh, just one second, you guys.
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Hey.
I feel terrible. Can we talk?
Lauren?
Wait. Are you friends with her?
We're on a hockey team together.
This is a hockey thing.
Are you still mad? I'm
trying to apologize.
It's fine. Okay?
We can talk about this later.
Just walk away.
Wait. (SCOFFS) Oh, my
God. You're embarrassed.
You don't want your cosplay crew
to know you're friends with me.
Well, you don't know the difference
between a longsword and a rapier.
Do you know how lame you seem?
(SCOFFS) I was feeling all guilty.
But you're just as bad.
- (MUSIC PLAYING ON SPEAKERS)
- So how'd it go with Alex?
Did she, uh, like the unicorn?
Oh, yeah.
That move you said always
worked. Didn't work.
What?
- It's happy hour. Free wings?
- (GROANS)
- No.
- Who doesn't like free wings?
So what are you doing tomorrow night?
You wanna maybe hit a Wild game?
Yeah, yeah. That sounds great.
Speaking of hockey,
it's almost time for that
Don't Bothers game.
- (CELL PHONE CHIMES)
- Wait, wait. No freakin' way.
- Yes. Yes!
- What? What is it?
My manager has been trying to get us
a gig in Madison and
it just came through.
Uh, it's ours if we
can get there by 9:00.
- Okay.
- Tonight? What about Evan's game?
Gordo, this is a college gig.
I mean, this could be it.
But Evan was really excited
about having you there.
I'm just gonna have
to make it up to him.
The band's meeting at the airport.
- So you're calling Evan?
- I'm getting an Uber.
Look, I don't wanna throw
Evan off right before his game.
Do you think you could tell him?
Look, I hate to miss it, but
Madison is a straight shot
to Milwaukee, and it could
(SIGHS) I don't wanna
get ahead of myself.
You know what? Forget about Uber.
I'll take you to the airport.
You can't miss this.
- Seriously?
- Yeah.
Dude. That's what I love about you, man.
You get it, you get the dream.
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
Let's get 'em!
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Hey, don't worry about your dad.
Okay? We can really beat these guys.
Yeah, sure.
- Go on. Get out there. Have fun.
- SPECTATOR: Whoo-hoo!
MARY JOE: Hi. It's Mary
Joe and my dad, Terry,
here at the Ice Palace where
the oh-and-five Don't Bothers
are facing off against
the one-and-four Hawks.
It's the battle for the basement.
Get ready for some not
great hockey. (CHUCKLES)
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
PLAYER: Hey, hey, hey, hey!
(GRUNTS)
- (WHISTLE BLOWS)
- Hey!
REFEREE: Number eleven, cross
check, two minutes. Get in the box.
Are you okay?
REFEREE: Cross check. Get in there!
(SLAMS DOOR)
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
That's a first.
I don't think I've ever seen a player
penalized before the game even starts.
I mean, no dad can be there for
every moment of his kid's life.
You just have to make the
moments you are there count.
Evan had a blast at my gig.
He'll always remember that.
Oh, hey, this is the street
you wanna take to the airport.
You missed it.
You know, Rob, I was ten
years old when my dad died.
It was devastating.
And after that, I missed a big
penalty shot in the state finals.
Didn't matter.
What mattered, was all of those nights
when I'd look up in the stands,
and I'd see my dad cheering me on.
No matter what.
I mean, you and Evan still
have each other in your lives
and I'm envious.
Yeah.
Oh, hey, if you turn
right at the next street,
you can take 34th to the airport.
It's just right
What are you doing, huh?
- You're going the wrong way.
- Am I?
(CHUCKLES) All right, this isn't funny.
I'm gonna miss my flight. I'm serious.
Turn around.
I'm getting out.
(DOOR RATTLES)
Door is broken, man.
Okay. Stop! Stop the truck.
This is kidnapping.
Is it?
(PLAYERS GRUNTING)
(GRUNTS)
(WHISTLE BLOWS)
(CROWD CHEERING)
(SIGHS)
Sit.
- (GROANING)
- GORDON: Evan!
(GRUNTS)
(CHUCKLES)
Right, he's 11.
He's number 11. Keep your eyes on 11.
(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)
(EVAN GRUNTING)
(GRUNTS)
- EVAN: Yeah!
- (GOAL ALARM SOUNDS)
All right, all right. Way to go, Ev.
All right, I'm gonna
get going 'cause I got
- Yeah, no.
- Okay. All right.
SPECTATOR: Whoo!
(ALL GRUNTING)
(EVAN GRUNTS)
- (GOAL ALARM SOUNDS)
- Look at that.
Wow, wow, Ev. Ev!
Whoo!
Way to go, one-one, way to go, one-one.
(GRUNTS)
- Yeah!
- (GOAL ALARM SOUNDS)
Nice!
Yeah!
Hat trick! That's a hat trick!
I've never seen Morrow
play with such intensity.
He's in beast mode!
(EVAN GRUNTS)
(GOAL ALARM SOUNDS)
Whoo! Yes!
All right, guys. We score, we win.
So get out there and have
fun and let's beat these guys.
Let's do the double helix and
lets bring this thing home!
- ALEX: Yeah!
- Not really feelin' it.
Yeah, me neither.
Look, I don't know what's
going on at school
with your little clique fight.
I've never been in a clique.
Tried to start one once.
Lot of nibbles, no bites.
But you two are magic
together here on the ice.
Monday, you two can go back to being
embarrassed to be seen with each other,
but right now, Evan's dad is here,
and my boy needs this win.
So, ladies, top of the helix.
- ALEX: Let's go!
- Go!
- Come on!
- ALEX: Yeah!
Hey, Nick. Good speech.
Thanks.
(BLOWS WHISTLE)
EVAN: Oh, yeah!
Oh, oh, this is called a double helix.
(INDISTINCT SHOUTING)
- EVAN: Pass the puck!
- Come on, come on, come on.
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
- Whoo!
- He crushed it! He crushed it!
(BUZZER SOUNDS)
(ALL CHEERING)
- Yeah!
- We won!
Let's go!
(EXCITED CHATTER)
Yes! Evan! That was awesome!
Oh, my gosh.
Yes! The Don't Bothers
just won their first game.
- We did it! We did it!
- Yeah. Let's go!
(ALL CHEERING)
(MAN SPEAKING INDISTINCTLY
OVER CELL PHONE)
- Hey, Rob.
- No, I didn't make it to Madison.
I missed the plane.
Some crazy guy kidnapped me.
Hey, good game.
- Uh, great game.
- (CHUCKLES)
Hey, um, you know, I
moved some stuff around
if you wanted to still
go to that Wild game.
Actually, I was thinking
about inviting Evan to, uh,
celebrate the win.
I mean, if you're okay with it.
Oh.
Yeah. That's a good idea.
It's a great idea. (CHUCKLES)
- Okay. Good night.
- Good night, Coach.
(SCHOOL BELL RINGS)
(INDISTINCT CHATTER)
Oh, look.
Whoa. Guys, check out Lauren.
Hey, have you guys seen Maya?
- No.
- No.
MAYA: Hey, Lauren.
Do you like it?
It's whispersilk.
(CHUCKLES) This is Brandy Melville.
Wow. See, we're not just
good together on the ice.
We're good together everywhere.
And I'm not embarrassed.
I don't care who knows.
I'm a little embarrassed,
but I'll get over it.
- NICK: All right, you two.
- SAM: Yeah.
Big cookie on me. Who wants one?
- LAUREN: I'll take one.
- SAM: Me. Chocolate chip.
- Cinnamon chip.
- Okay.
Yo, Evan.
Go ahead, Trevor. Mock me all
you want. Can't ruin my day.
I'm not.
Coach T was at your game last night.
Wants to see you.
It's about the Ducks.
(UPBEAT SONG PLAYING)
