Confrontation Over Dreams and Decisions

Coach What's the problem?

Andy Whoa, whoa, whoa. Hey, what are you doing?

[stops Austin with his hand]

Austin I'm outta here.

Andy What? You're throwing away your dream!

Austin No, Dad, I'm throwing away yours. It's your game now. Go get em.

[turns to Ryan]

Embracing Authenticity Amidst Judgment

Austin Sam! Okay, I know you think I'm just some...

Sam Coward? Phony?

Austin Okay, just listen.

Sam No, you listen. You turned out to be exactly who I thought you were. I never pretended to be somebody else. It's been me all along. And it was me who was hurt in front of everybody. Look, I didn't come here to yell at you, okay? I know what it feels like to be afraid to show who you are. I was, but I'm not anymore. And the thing is, I don't care what people think about me, because I believe in myself. And I know that things are gonna be okay. But even though I have no family, and no job, and no money for college, it's you that I feel sorry for.

David Heads up! Yo, five minutes.

Austin I'm coming!

Sam I know that guy that sent those emails is somewhere inside of you, but I can't wait for him... ...because waiting for you is like waiting for rain in this drought: useless and disappointing.

[voice breaking]

Austin Sam...

Fiona Where are your prizes? Winners get prizes.

Fiona I am very, very, very, very upset about this.

Brianna You don't look upset.

Fiona Oh, it's the Botox. I can't show emotion for another hour and a half.

Fashion Choices and Method Acting Explained

Sam Carter, what are you wearing?

Carter What...? This is my Snoop Dizzle look.

Sam I cannot drive you to school like that.

[pause]

Carter Sam, I am a method actor, okay? This is part of my training.

[takes off his sunglasses]

Sam I know, I know, I know, but... Look at this.

[takes off Carter's hat]

Carter Alright. Take 2.
