Well All I'm saying is she's my girlfriend, all right? So she probably shouldn't be staring off at Swedish people like that.

How many times have we talked about this, Mom? You don't come to the pool.
We've already been through this.
This is the only place where Excuse me! You can't just show up all the time, Mom! Sweetie, I don't show up all the time.
Can't you go to a different pool or something? There is no different pool.
I miss your father.
You never talk to me anymore, and there ain't a room in the house that feels like it's big enough to contain me.
I'm getting in the water.
You're just here checking up on me.
I'm not checking up on you.
That is ridiculous.
You're just trying to spy on me.
Honey, I'm not spying on you at all.
I am curious about your life.
I enjoy being in this pool, which feels wonderful.
Am I gonna have to help you out of the pool again? But you know, I am curious.
I'm curious about the Swede.
I'm curious about what Matt Saracen thinks about the Swede.

Come on.
I think it's coming! Yeah, that's it.
Yeah.
That's right.
Go, go, go Welcome to the family.
This is Slammin' Sammy Meade, folks, and welcome back to another glorious year of Panther football! It's summer.
It's 120 damn degrees on the gridiron, and the Panthers are entering the fiery gates of hell week, and I for one could not be happier.
Will our new coach, Bill MacGregor, the "Tennessee Tyrant," known for winning state titles, be able to fill the shoes of the great Eric Taylor? The heart of last year's championship offense is back.
QB Matt Saracen, highly-ranked running back Smash Williams and hard-hitting fullback Tim Riggins.
That leaves the most exciting part of the pre-season, new talent.
Who knows which fresh face might impress the new coach and win a job on this great Dillon Panther team come opening day? You'll be dancing it up.
Come on.
Let's go, little dancer.
Welcome home, baby Grace.
Here's your new home.
This is where it's all gonna happen.
It's good to be home.
It's all gonna happen right here.
Jules? Wow.
I had asked Jules to clean this up.
Jules? Hey.
Hey.
Look who's home! Say, "Hey.
" Oh, she's opening up her eyes just so she can say, "Hey, big sis.
What's up?" Why is her head so pointy? That's normal, sweetheart.
How come you didn't clean this place up? Because, Mom, I didn't have time.
I really gotta go to work.
I'm sorry.
I thought you were taking today off.
Yeah, I tried to, Mom It's your baby sister's first day home.
I have to go to work, okay? I love you guys.
I'll be home tonight.
Say hi to the Swede.
Who's "the Swede"? Some boy she's flirting with at the pool.
I can't believe this mess.
What about "the Saracen"? She's dating the Saracen and she's flirting with the Swede.
Welcome home, sweetheart.
Just for the record, I think this whole football thing is a terrible idea.
You've mentioned that a few times.
Does my shoulder look swollen to you? Do you really think your dad is gonna love you any more if you make that team? Yes, I do, actually.
I'm burning up.
Me, too.
You mind doing my back for me? Doing what? My back.
Yeah.
Of course.

I'm thinking like 7:30.
All right.
See you there, Tim.
Whoa, where's my flyer, Garrity? No one would be happier to save your soul than me, Tim.
What is that? Like a cult or something? Actually, it's young Christians coming together to worship and spread the word of Jesus.
You look good.
Like real good.
Thanks.
You're welcome.
It's probably because yesterday I was baptized and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior.
What'd you do recently, Tim? I had a three-way with the Stratton sisters.
I wouldn't go around town bragging about the fact that you've spent your entire summer in a drunken stupor.
So what you're saying is you're jealous.
Yeah, Tim.
I'm jealous.
Hey Just so you know, you're still number one.
Still the best I've ever had.
It's true.
Don't talk to me like that.
