Hank? Hank?
Hang on a sec.
Gotta drop this Italian racer.
What?
She's Italian.
Um, cool.
Uh, um, have you seen my car keys?
Oh yeah.
Hank?
Yeah?
Keys?
What, the car keys? Probably in the car.
Are you racing women?
No. Training with 'em.
You know the Iron Man race is coming up in six months.
Besides, you're the one who said
I should get out and meet someone.
Yeah, in public.
Here we go.
Ciao Bella!
Vediamo, or something.
[door creaks open]
[car sputters]
Come on.
Dammit.

[Girl] Mom, what is he doing?
-Hey! -Hey.
What? You go for a run?
Uh, yeah, yeah, you could say that.
What'd you got there?
Uh, the water bill, yeah. I'll take care of it.
I got it.
[crashes]
Yeah, that's good there.
Hey, Hank, uh, you know how much longer are you gonna wear that?
Just till the cheques stop comin'.
Right.
Yeah, it's just we're home now, you know?
Nobody's gonna see ya.
The only people that come over here are Cliff and Linda.
I feel like it's unnecessary.
Don't you underestimate those insurance surveillance guys.
I wouldn't be surprised if one of them sneaky bastards
is peaking through the window right now.
You know, Hank,
I think you're taking this a little bit too far.
Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike, Mike.
I've told ya, if we lived in a fair and just society
I wouldn't have to carry on this charade.
Right.
Nobody appreciated the 20 years of back-breaking work
that I endured at the mill.
So no, I don't think that I am taking this... too far.
Ok. Yeah, well, you know... You know best, so.
Still feel like you're taking it too far, but...
[knock at door]
[knocking]
I see you've unpacked.
Yeah. Getting there.
I was gonna make some lunch.
Ham and cheese ok?
Yeah, that's fine. Thanks.
[doorbell]
We're happy you're here.
I don't get how this keeps happening.
Yeah, you and me both.
All right.
[car sputters]
Nice.
Hey Mike, how's your father?
Haven't seen him for a while.
And how's his, uh, you know...
What?
Oh, yeah, um, yeah, you know, he's fine.
Um, hoping that he, you know,
gets back on his feet sooner rather than later.
Uh, so, um, I hear that your granddaughter's
living with you guys right now.
Linda told me.
Yeah, Wallace, she's great.
Like to meet her?
Uh, nah. I'll just...
Wallace!
Oh, all right.
Wallace! Wallace!
Wallace, this is our next door neighbour, Mike.
Nice to meet ya.
You too.
Uh, I, I hear that you just moved in.
Yeah.
Still unpacking.
Uh-huh.
You know, come Monday,
it's Wallace's first day at Pen High.
Why don't you give her a ride
and show her the ropes, you know?
What do you say?
Uh, yeah. Ok.
Cool, yeah. I leave at 7:45. Does that work?
See you Monday.
Ok, yeah, I'll see ya...
[door slams]
I'll see ya on Monday.
Why don't you get rid of this piece of shit?
That's my car.
Yeah. Piece of shit.
It's a Gremlin!
Hey.
Hey, hey.
Who, who's that girl?
Uh, their granddaughter.
Let's keep an eye on her. She could be a plant.
What are you talking about? She just moved in.
[snaps] Exactly.
Ok.
You remember, if she asks about me..
Yeah, yeah, I'll, I will let you know.
Granddaughter.
Hm.
[Mike] So, uh, how are you liking Canada so far?
[Wallace] It's nice.
A bit of a change, but I'll get used to it.
[Mike] Where are you from in the States?
[Wallace] New England.
[Mike] Oh, big apple. Nice.
[Wallace] Uh, yeah. Pretty big change.
Never lived in a small town like this.
[Mike] Yeah, well don't expect much.
It's one of those places where if you don't try to leave
you're gonna get stuck here.
[car sputtering]
Check this out.
Eh?
What the heck?
What a dick.
Mike?

[car horn]
I think we need to find a new parking spot.
[Ms. LeBlanc] All right class,
today we are going to be discussing the physics of...
Flight.
The physics of flight.
More specifically, looking at the equations
behind the Bernoulli Principle.
So, how come planes can fly upside down?
[Ms. LeBlanc] Air pressure across the wing...
Do you have something to add, Monsieur Drinkwater?
Yeah. Uh, I was just wondering if you could potentially
clarify the role played by the angle of the attack of the wing
and the interplay between thrust, drag
and downward air deflection?
It just seems like that should be covered.
[class laughing]
As I was saying, the Bernoulli Principle-
How do you know all this?
[whispers] Hank was really into planes for about a month.
So we talked a lot about it,
we learned a lot about the physics...
Um, allo?
Would you like to share your conversation with the class?
Uh... not really.
I was just wondering why planes can fly upside down,
because, you know, it's kind of common knowledge
that the Bernoulli Principle
doesn't really fully explain flight
and I just feel like, you don't really have any idea, you know,
what you're talking about.
[class laughs]
Are you trying to get smart with me, hm?
Uh... no.
It sounds like you're questioning
the legitimacy of my lectures.
Yeah.
Yeah, I am.
Go see Principal Fraser.
Ok, yup.
[tapping on desk]
[Hank] I know where it is.
[Secretary] Have a nice day.
Well, this had better be good.
[crash]
To scoot all the way over here
and they're tearing up the sidewalk there
on Windsor Street.
Super bumpy.
Nice to see you again, Mr. Drinkwater.
No, no, no, don't butter me up. Now why am I here?
Your son had a bit of an altercation in class today.
What's "a bit" of an altercation?
You either have one or you don't.
Well, whatever you want to call it,
it was the usual, challenging his teachers
and being generally insulting towards them.
Ok, I didn't mean to be...
And don't, don't interrupt
when we're talking about your altercations.
As I was saying, according to Ms. LeBlanc,
he was challenging her teaching methods
and referred to her as "stupid".
Ok, no, I didn't call her stupid.
I called her reliance on the Bernoulli equation
to explain lift stupid.
Oh, come on.
They're not still teaching that?
Surely she explained the... the ratio
between the angle of attack and the aspect ratio of the wing.
No, that's exactly what I was trying to say.
She wasn't saying any of that.
She didn't know what she was talking about.
She was going on and on...
Wow.
What has happened to the education system
in this country?
If we could just calm down, please.
I think it would be best for Michael to just
listen to his teachers and show some respect.
His teachers.
Oh, oh, cue the choir.
Oh, here we go again.
You want all these kids to conform to some,
to some socialist agenda that stifles creativity
and turns them all into mindless robots.
And you get paid a pretty penny for it, I might add.
Oh, you people.
You think it's your God-given right to rip off the government.
Well, as a hard working Canadian taxpayer,
I have had it up to here.
I'm not going to sit here
and watch the intellectual and creative life of my son
get sucked out his ass
by a bunch of entitled educators.
Come on, lad.
Don't let these brainwashed ass...
freeloaders get under your skin.
[Hank] Freeloaders!
-Uh, do... Should I? -Yep.
Ok.
Oh, hold on.
-Should I close it. -Yes.
-Close it or open it? -Close the door.
I'm gonna close this.
[sighs]
[whispers] Oh my, oh my, oh my.
Fucking Drinkwaters.
[P.A.] Attention shoppers, remember...
[honks]
No, no, no. No, no. Get the, get the chocolate milk.
Hank, I thought you were lactose intolerant.
I know, I know. I'm working on my tolerance.
All right, well I don't think that's a good idea.
I think we should go with the kefir or nothing at all.
I hardly call that the Sophie's Choice of chocolate milk.
All right. We're going with the kefir.
Ok, so what else do we need?
We got bacon, eggs, Dunkaroos.
Uh, must have lost the list.
My sports hydration powder was on there.
I need that to balance my...
That's not in the budget.
Well, if I can avoid another hammy cramp while training,
we can afford it.
Hey, um, you know Hank,
since we're talking about money and stuff.
I applied to a couple universities.
Just, you know, 'cause there were deadlines.
And I was sort of wondering about our financial situation,
whether we had anything kind of socked away or...
You're still thinking about university?
Well, yeah, you know I don't want to get stuck here.
You don't want to spend the best years of your life
stuck in a classroom either.
Right.
Well, what would I even do here?
Get a job.
You could live in the house with me for free.
Well, not, not free, you know, you gotta pay a little rent.
So that's a no then on the money.
There's nothing, nothing socked away?
That's a big no?
Your mom took most of it when she left
and not, not took, I gave it to her.
You know, she wanted this new life...
Hank, though that was five years ago.
And let me guess,
you spent the rest of your money on stupid shit?
I did not!
Not most of it.
You know, I still send her some, here and there.
It's hard to save.
Why don't you just take off your neck brace,
stop faking it, and go back to work,
that way we'd actually have some money.
[chuckles]
I'm in too deep.
You're telling me.
Butterscotch. Nice.
[Cliff] Fifteen for two? Fifteen for four.
Fifteen for six.
Three of a kind. Twelve.
[sighs]
Who threw the five in there?
That's an easy count.
-Cliff. -Huh?
What? What?
She's bored.
She's not bored.
I'm a little bored, Grandpa.
Back in the days when your mom and I...
[sighs]
[phone vibrates]
Oh, she got herself a distraction device.
We have a Jetson over here, eh?
Jetson? How old are you?
How old are you?
Excuse me.
Tell em you're getting hosed over here!
Cliff.
What?
Hello.
[Mike] Hey, Wallace?
Hey. What's up, dude?
[Mike] It's Mike. Mike Drinkwater.
Your neighbour?
Yeah, I know who you are.
[Mike] Right. Right. Um... so, are you busy later?
Not at all.
So, um... [clears throat]
What are we... what are we doing here?
Uh, I like the scenery.
It's a hockey rink.
Yeah.
Oh, the girl from the truck.
Uh, who, Danny?
Yeah, I think she figure skates here, or something.
[Wallace] Are you stalking here?
[Mike] What? No. No.
Stalking's what crazy people do.
No, no, no. I'm not stalking.
I'm, I'm... more just seeing her at a higher rate
than what would be considered statistically random.
What?
It's not stalking. It's not stalking.
Ok, it's like a gentle stalking.
It's like a, like a soft, it's like a soft stalk, kind of.
It's more like a mathematically derived meeting technique
where I increase the likelihood of having positive
social interactions by subtly rearranging my schedule
so that I'm in close proximity
to the person of interest without being too obvious.
Which, as I'm saying right now, does sound like stalking.
Which is a bummer.
It's actually a lot of work.
Time tables and maps.
[Wallace] She has a boyfriend.
The douche in the truck.
Yeah, well, you know. Nothing lasts forever.
You should make friends with her.
What, make friends with Danny? Are you kidding me?
Look at her, she's a total babe.
She's got babe-itis.
I can't get near her, I mean, she's...
Number one, she's president of the student council.
She's in like six different clubs.
She's super popular, she gets straight As.
You know, girls like that don't, don't talk to guys like me.
Maybe you should join student council?
You know, get to know her, stop doing whatever this is.
Student council?
I don't know, isn't that a little bit weird?
And stalking is what, normal?
Ok. I see your point.
It's a good point.
I'll take it into consideration.
This place is kind of a big deal in Canada.
Feels like a Dunkin'.
This is not a Dunkin'.
Hi.
[Cashier] Ok, dear. That'll be $9.44.
Also, I'm a member.
Oh, dammit.
-One sec. -Ok.
Can you hold that?
Did you see it?
[Mike] Dammit.
-Just one sec. -Ok.
[Mike] Oh, man. It's really down there.
Um, do you want some help?
Oh, I think I got it.
Ok.
[struggling] Oh, I'm close. I think I got it.
I lost it.
Oh, look, a loonie.
Um... Do you want me to pull forward?
Oh, I got some good leverage. One sec.
Maybe I could look on my side.
My foot's caught in the wheel. [horn honking]
Ok.
-Oh, I got it. -Ok.
[Mike] I can't get it.
No? Ok.
[Mike] Can you help?
So... is this one of your moments?
Yeah, I guess it is.
[cars honking]
[horn honking]
[Customer] Come on! Let's move it!
Woo. Oh, nice.
Great service.
Thanks.
Ok. Well, I'll see you tomorrow.
-Ok. -Ok.
-Bye. -Bye.
Hey, you having a good time with Mike?
Yeah, he has his moments.
[Chuckles] Wally? Um... how is everything?
I mean, you know, how are you doing?
I'm fine, Grandma.
You don't need to keep asking.
[sighs]
Uh, hi. Is this the student council?
Uh, yeah.
Ok. Is it too late to sign up?
Sign-ups were months ago.
For the student council?
So, yeah, it is too late to sign up.
Ok. Uh, whom... whom do you report to?
I would like to speak on this matter with them.
Danny's the president.
Be my guest.
Ok.
Oh, hey.
Hi, Madam President,
I am interested in becoming involved
with and around the student council.
Oh, really? Why is that?
Well, uh, you know, uh, politics are cool
and I've been to counseling.
Look, I don't...
Uh, please, please can I be in the council with you please?
Actually, Althea was supposed to be working with Patrick
on the dance committee,
but he came down with a really bad case of bowel polyp
so, um, she could use some help planning the fall ball.
No, I don't.
Yes, you do.
Fine.
Ok. Cool.
Uh, so when is, when will be the subsequent...
the next meeting?
Tuesdays and Thursdays, during lunch.
Great. That's what I thought.
Ok. Thank you very much, Madam President.
[hopeful music]
[dramatic music]
[grunts]
[crash]
Holy mackerel.
Well, you're getting better.
You know sarcasm is for the weak, Hank.
Is that a Bruce Lee quote?
No. "Be water". That is a Bruce Lee quote.
What kind of advice is that?
Hey, I think, I think I'm gonna take Wallace to the Vees game.
Who's Wallace?
Uh, Cliff's granddaughter. From next door.
I thought it was just gonna be a boys night?
Every night is a boys night.
You know, actually, sorry,
most nights you're just working on Hank's world.
Yeah, well you would too if your world was being overrun
with killer sharks and dinosaurs.
Oh, hey, hey. Speaking of hockey.
This arrived, not two hours ago.
Have a gander at that bad boy.
You kidding me?
It's pretty cool, eh?
Hank, when I said not to buy stupid shit,
this is stupid shit!
-Stupid shit? -Yeah.
-This is not stupid shit. -This is stupid shit!
You have no respect for tradition.
Put her in the fridge.
I thought I raised you right.
So?
Do you love it?
Absolutely, yeah.
I hear shoulder pads are coming back.
It was mine when I was young.
Your mother even wore it to her prom.
Even though she fought like hell not to.
I would fight like hell if I had to wear that.
Thanks, Grandma.
[phone vibrates]
Hello.
[Mike] Hey, Wallace, it's Mike Drinkwater, your neighbour?
Dude, you drive me to school every morning.
[Mike] Oh, right.
-Listen, you want to go to... -I'd love to.
[footsteps approaching]
Are you ready for tonight?
Yes, sir.
Should be a good game.
I expect Vernon's coach to match you with the top D man.
Yeah, I think I'm gonna be ok.
Woah, don't get cocky.
Hey, you need to bring your A game tonight.
You got a lot of eyes on you now.
Yeah, I know that.
Hey, hey, hey, hey.
Yeah, I don't know if you do.
There's handfuls of scouts at these games.
You have opportunity now, son. But your young, dumb.
And opportunity doesn't stick, do you understand?
It's slippery.
You gotta grab it when you have the chance.
You have to appreciate how much I've invested in you.
And you need to give me a good return on that investment.
Yes, sir. Got it.
What's our goal?
Division 1 American College hockey scholarship.
What's our goal?!
Full ride, D1 scholarship, NHL draft.
Good.
Good luck tonight.
I thought you didn't believe in luck.
Ah, bad luck is because of poor habits.
Good luck is different.
It's an unexpected bonus for being correct.
I have a lot of good luck.
[Hank] Come on, now! Come on! Come on!
[Hank] Did you bring it?
[Mike] You've asked me that like six times.
[Wallace] Bring what?
[Wallace] What is that?
It's an octopus.
Hank wants to throw it on the ice at some point.
You can't be serious.
Yeah, it's uh, like a tradition or something.
I don't really... honestly I don't really know.
You're not into hockey?
Uh, you know, it's cool when they fight.
-Oh, there he goes. -Come on.
Gentle stalker, party of one.
God, she looks good tonight.
Hey, um, I signed up for the student council, like you said.
Oh.
Yeah, so, you know, hopefully that works out.
[horn blaring]
-[crowd cheering] -[victory music playing]
[Announcer] Scoring his third goal of the night
for the Penticton Vees, number 7, Luke Ryan!
[Wallace] Why are they throwing hats?
[Mike] If you score three goals it's called a hat trick.
[crowd cheering]
Now, now! Do it now! Throw it!
What, you want me to throw it?
Yes, you.
A disabled person can't perform a throwing motion.
Jesus.
Uh, I think it's frozen.
[Hank] What are you waiting for, do it!
[thud]
Oops.
[Wallace gasps]
[spectator] Dude, what was that? The dude's hurt.
[whistle blows]
[Mike] He's gonna be fine, right?
Penticton, bench minor, unsportsmanlike conduct.
Get a guy in the box.
What the hell! Bullshit ref!
[Wesley] He did it!
The Drinkwaters!
In the red. He did it!
Well, hang on. Ok. It was an accident.
Hey!
[crowd booing]
I'm sorry. I'm sorry.
Hey, all right, you don't need even throw... All right.
You try throwing a pus!
Ok. They're getting violent.
You ok, bud?
I didn't do nothin'.
I'm coming, I'm coming.
I'm sorry.
[Hank] That's my son.
[Mike] I'm sorry.
Get some of those hats, would you?
Sorry everybody, sorry.
[Hank] t's part of the game, for God's sake!
-Sorry. -It's a part of...
Ok. Oh sure, everybody throws a hat.
We throw one octopus.
[horn blaring]
[crowd booing]
[Announcer] Vernon wins four to three...
Clearly, you give no credence to the legend of the octopus.
Eight tentacles, eight wins. The Stanley Cup.
Yes, sir, I know the legend.
Then how can you show so little respect?
Sir, I respect the tradition of the octopus
as much as the next guy,
but your son threw a frozen octopus at an official.
It was frozen?
There's too much shit in the fridge.
Do you know that they have three hearts?
That means they can love three times as much as we can.
[Wesley] Hey, Drinkwater.
Oh.
Apple doesn't fall too far from the tree, huh?
Maybe you should try and get a grip on that boy of yours,
'cause whatever you're doing right now ain't working.
Are you calling me a bad father to my son,
in front of my son?
Uh, based on your track record being a poor student,
a poor husband and probably the worst goalie I ever played with,
I'd say that's a safe bet.
I was a decent backup in '89 and you know it.
Huh.
And look where that got ya. The mill.
Oh, Mr. Big shot.
Had a cup of coffee in the AHL
and now he gets to pick on the joe locals.
Your parents must be so proud.
I played in the Calder Cup.
More like sat in the press box.
I sat on the bench.
Yeah, I remember.
You seen my house?
My dealerships?
That's what real success looks like.
I don't care about money.
Yeah, that's what people say who don't have any.
I may not have your money,
but I got something a rich prick like you would die for.
And what's that?
1979, tops, Wayne Gretzky rookie card.
Ballpark value? About $25K.
You're a collector, aren't ya?
You don't have that card. No chance.
Gettin' her appraised as we speak.
Bullshit.
What, you think I'm the guy that's gonna buy it?
Buy it?
I wouldn't sell that card to you.
Are they really talking about a hockey card?
Yeah.
You know, Pisswater,
that card would look real good in my collection.
Speaking of cards,
do I have to play the disability card here or what?
-Hey, Pisswater? -Hey.
You have a fun time at our game last night?
Uh, yeah, I guess. Did you guys win?
Listen, smart-ass, your little stunt cost us the game.
So I guess you guys lost, huh?
You're lucky I don't kick your ass right here.
Living up to your name.
Oh, 'cause Pisswater. 'Cause of the pee.
That's funny.
How's it going? I pissed my pants.
How are ya.
Hey, I pissed my pants.
[Student] Yeah, you did dude.
All right, come on in, Mike. Grab a seat.
Now, brought you in here 'cause I think I have something for ya.
I didn't know you wrestled.
Mike? I just said I have an opportunity for you.
It's just kind of hard to picture you
wearing that spandex.
Mike...
That's 'cause that's not spandex.
It's rayon. Rayon's a man's material.
Look, I... I just said I have an opportunity for you.
You played puck too? Huh?
Yeah. '89 Vees. Used to be the Knights.
Oh, so you played with Hank?
Yeah, oh yeah. Best backup goalie we ever had.
And him and Wesley Ryan, they used to go at it every day.
Now I can see that that rivalry has been passed down to you.
Yeah, yeah, unfortunately it has.
Well, the CanAm Classic is coming up
and I think you should be in it.
A race? Running?
Yeah.
I... I... I hate running.
Come on, who hates running? Everybody loves running.
Your dad loved running.
My mom loved it too.
She loved it so much she ran out on us.
Is that a good enough reason?
Yeah. That's a pretty good reason.
[clears throat]
Awkward pause.
Look, this race is a big deal, ok?
I mean, we get American schools coming up here
and those boys know how to compete.
I don't know, Babber.
Look, the winner of the CanAm Classic
also gets a $10,000 scholarship.
I don't even know if I'm gonna go to university.
Woah! Time out. Right there.
What are you gonna do?
Sit on your duff down at the rink,
driving the old Zamboni?
Well, I mean, I haven't been accepted.
I've applied to like six different universities.
No one wants me.

Hey, shut up! You can't say that.
Why not?
You say it all the time.
What's your problem? Your family...
[splash]
Screw you!
What the hell?
You pushed me into the lake!
Hey, Mike.
Uh, hey.
You ok?
Yeah. Yeah, I'm fine.
You're wet. Are you sure you're ok?
Just don't...
Don't pretend like you care.
I know that you don't.
You are a 50-year-old shut-in, completely obsessed
and, and driven by your own delusions.
Did you know that I got into university?
Did you know that?
Did you know that I'm running a race, next week,
to try to get a scholarship?
That's great, Mikey.
Yeah, I mean, I'm not gonna do it anymore.
I... I tried to tell you.
I... I... I tried but you wouldn't listen.
You're too self-absorbed.
I can't even go
to the university that I want to go to
because we don't have any money... Hank.
We gonna sell Hank World?
I don't think anybody's buying.
So, just please don't pretend like you're my dad.
You know, because you have not been that for a long time.
Hank.
[sighs]
So I'd say once the plugs are replaced and she's good to go,
we'll take her to the track and check her out.
[Hank] Wes.
Drinkwater.
What the hell you doing on this side of the tracks?
I know you're not here to purchase something.
Got a minute?
Walk with me.
There is no luck behind what you see here.
Built from the ground up.
Ryan Motors has proudly serviced this town, this region
for over 60 years.
My father passed this company down to me
and I plan to do the same to my son.
That is, if he doesn't play in the NHL, of course.
Yeah, yeah, your dad did a good job.
What are you getting at?
Everything I build, put my time into,
is for my son's future.
I assume you're here for the same thing.
What's that supposed to mean?
You're here to sell me the Gretzky card, are you not?
Yeah. I figured.
What's the money for?
Mike got into university and I can't afford it.
Isn't that what the race scholarship's for?
He's not in the race anymore.
Probably wouldn't be enough anyway.
I would buy the card but I just don't want to.
As you can see, I have everything I need.
Maybe Mike should get back in the race.
If not, I'm pretty sure we're hiring.
Let's go.
[Luke] What was that all about?
Nothing.
He wants a hand out but that's not what Ryans do.
Mike quit the race?
Who cares?
You should be worried about hockey,
not some silly little race.
[crashes]
[smashing]
[smash]
You were right.
I haven't been much of a, of a dad to you lately.
I haven't been much of anything really since your mom left.
I can't have you end up like me.
I mean, everybody ends up
a little bit like their parents. It's inevitable.
No.
You know, Mikey, you're... you're better than me.
You deserve a lot more.
[knocking]
Look, man, I'm gonna make this quick.
I shouldn't even be doing this.
You kicked my girlfriend in the face.
Yeah. I... I still feel really horrible about that.
You're gonna race.
And you're gonna come in second.
This thing's not worth winning unless you're there to lose.
Uh, thank you?
Just... be there. All right?
Tell Danny I'm sorry.
You're not gonna tell her.

Where're you off to?
I'm going to the race. It's in an hour.
Good for you, lad.
You're uh, you're not gonna come?
Oh, well I, um, I better not risk it.
You know, I still gotta couple more weeks left of the...

it's not very wheelchair accessible there, either, you know.
Plus I'd have to take the scooter

Ok. I'll see you later, Hank.
Good luck.

[knocking at door]
Oh, I'm sorry.
I knocked, I didn't know you had the...
I'm fine, Grandpa.
I'll be... I'll be in the den.
Grandpa?
Yeah?
What?
I, um...
I miss her too.
She loved you, Wallace.
More than anything.
Everyone handles grief differently.
Some are stronger, some feel it's easier to avoid it.
No one, no one should ever have to go through
what we went through.
To bury our own child.
I spent a whole lifetime raising your mother.
I watched her become a young lady
and then a loving mother, all on her own.
To think that she felt she needed to do what she did...
She... she... she was our baby.
[sobbing]
We just didn't understand.
I see so much of her in you
and that brings me the greatest joy.
When you came to live with us,
it made things a little bit easier.
She's at peace.
And thanks to you,
I found a way to live with it.
And your grandmother, she coming along.
But please, don't ever be afraid
of what you keep bottled up inside you,
because that's not what your mother would want you to do.
Because that's what she did.
She was so incredibly strong.
But even a strong person needs to let go sometimes.
It's not a sign of weakness. It's just being human.
So when you find yourself in a tight spot, tell us.
We would like that.
Because, maybe we didn't present ourselves that way to your mom.
And I'm not going to make the same mistake again.
[sobbing]
I know. I know.
I know. It's ok.
It's ok.
I miss her.
I miss her too.
We love you.
Are you going to be inside on a day like today?
I don't have any plans.
Isn't the race on today?
I'm not going anymore.
I thought you're training Mike?
Him and I don't really talk anymore.
Oh. That's a pity.
Because, for the last two months,
the happiest I've seen you was when you were with him.
If I know anything about Mike, he needs support too.
We all do.
Yeah.
[upbeat music]
[Team Captain] All right, fellas. Come on, off the bus.

[Babber] Mike, good to see ya.
Hope you guys left your guns at home.
Your policemen ride horses?
How're you doing, eh?
Sorry. Sorry.
[Babber] Luke, just leave it.
[chuckles]
At least we're not a plutocracy run by big Pharma.
Am I right, guys?
Got em.
Yeah.
[clears throat]
Ok, listen up.
They're just trying to psych you out.
Don't get drawn into their game plan, ok?
Just stick to your race,
run the one we prepared and trained for.
And remember, it's all about pacing and teamwork.
You're all members of a team. Don't forget that.
[P.A.] All right racers. Please organize yourselves
and make your way to the starting corral.
Ok boys, this is the moment we've been working towards.
I know it might not seem like it,
but this could be the opportunity
that changes everything for you.
All right?
And we're not gonna let these little psycho,
I mean, our friendly neighbours from the south,
take that from us, are we?
All right, let's gear up. Let's go!

Welcome to beautiful British Columbia.

What are you doing here?
Well, it was either this or a curling match on TV.
Hey, uh, listen, about the other day, um...
Don't worry about it.
No, really.
I'm so, so sorry.
You were right, you know, about everything.
Like spot on.
You're the best thing that's happened to me
these last couple months.
And the fact that I couldn't tell you that or even realize it...
[P.A.] Will all runners please make their way to the starting line.
I'm so sorry. I suck. I'm so sorry.
Well, you do suck. But, it's ok.
I gotta do this race.
Sounds good. I'll see you after the race.
Ok.
I'll be timing you.
Ok.
What are you waiting for?
[laughs]
All right.
Cool.
-Ok. -Ok.
Hey, you see that? Huh? Huh?

Runners ready.
I'm going to give you a countdown.
[P.A.] From ten, nine, eight, seven, six,
five, four, three, two, one.

Oh, that was awesome! Oh, you did so good!
What are you talking about? I came in second.
You're goddamn right you did.
Oh, proud of you, boy.
Hank, you ok?
Never better.
Hey, hey, hey!
Oh, it's cold.
I know.
Check, check.
[feedback]
Oh, there we are. All right.
Well, thanks for enduring our Canadian summers.
[chuckles]
All right, let's get on with the awards ceremony.
Um, without further ado, in third place we've got...
Is that for real? Really?
It is.
Ok.
Lance Armstrong from Washington State.
[cheering]
We do a drug test on this one?
All right, here we go.
Mr. Armstrong, congratulations.
There you go.
I need no paper for this one.
In second place, from Penticton Secondary,
Mr. Mike Drinkwater.
[cheering]
There you go, Mike.
Thanks.
-All right. -Congratulations.
[Babber] All right.
Now, our first place finisher, also from Penticton Secondary,
winner of the CanAm Scholarship and this amazing trophy,
Mr. Luke Ryan.
[cheering]
My boy!
All right.
Really?
Uh, just one second.
Ladies and gentlemen,
Mr. Ryan has just informed me
that he'll be turning down the CanAm Scholarship
as he's already received a full division one hockey scholarship
to the University of North Dakota.
Congratulations, Luke.
That's quite an accomplishment. And this is quite a gesture.
Well, I've just conferred with our race official
and according to the CanAm rules,
the CanAm scholarship
is now awarded to our second place finisher,
Mr. Mike Drinkwater.
-Woo-hoo-hoo! -[crowd cheering]
Turn that around.
Told you to be prepared for yes.
All right, give it up, let's go.
All right.
-Atta boy. -Thanks, man.
It was a great race.
The boy showed a lot of class up there, Wesley.
Where'd he learn that from?
All right, listen up.
I know that money's not gonna be enough for Mike,
not for four years anyway,
so, why don't we take a look
at that Gretzky rookie card of yours?
It's a hell of a card.
You got a hell of a son.
Thanks.
[Babbar] All right, give it up for our boys! Woo! Yeah!
Woo!
[cheering]
Let's go!
Shoot it. He's open!
-[cheering] -[horn blaring]
Woo!
Good job. Good job.
Hey, man.
So, Mike, are you and Hank still coming for Thanksgiving dinner?
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Should we bring anything?
Oh, no, that's ok.
So, how's university treating you?
Um, it's great. It's great.
Yeah. And it's not too far away so, you know,
I can come back and visit Hank.
[clears throat]
And you know, somebody else.
How come you don't kiss me like that?
Oh, wait till we get home.
So, did Wally tell you that she's going to the Nationals
for the Canadian Debate Team?
She did yeah, yeah.
I can't believe someone would willingly go to Winnipeg
in the winter.
Come on, it can't be that bad.
Wow, you've clearly never been to Winnipeg.
In the winter.
All right. Well, I'm gonna go to the restroom.
Washroom.
Nice, nice catch.
Oh, actually, just wait one second.
What?
Just wait, wait for it.
Mike, what?
Wait, wait for it. Wait for it.
Hey!
My dad got a new job.
Holy shit! That's awesome.
Look at me, I'm riding the bone!
[crash]
[Hank] Oh! Jeez.
[crash]
Hit the post.
[Mike] It's his first day.
That's gonna leave a mark.
First day!
I should probably get him a helmet or some pads
or something...
I'm all right.
He's, he's gonna be good though.
Yeah.
He's gonna be really good.
[chuckles] Oh! Oh! Oh!
Beats the hell out of that scooter.
I'm good, I'm good.
I'm good.
