Delitto a Porta Romana

All right, Bulldogs,

if we beat the Mustangs this week,

we'll be sittin' pretty for the playoffs.

- Ah, that's no problem for me, Coach.

I already sit pretty.

I also stand pretty and kneel pretty, see?

- You're also "pretty" annoying.

Okay, QB, run the offense.

Everybody, lineup!

Okay, trick right, wide hook, x-post.

On one, on one.

Set! Hike!

Dawson, are--are you okay?

I--I think so.

- Oh, maybe not. - Oh! Oh!

I'm hurt, too.

- Are you all right, Bella? What happened?

- It's my shoulder. - It's my pinky!

Oh, no, we need you, Bella.

We need you, too, Newt.

Oh, this can't be happening.

- All right, keep going with practise.

I'm gonna take Bella to the doctor.

I'm sorry, Newt.

I thought you were just faking for the attention.

- No, I seriously stubbed this thing.

- All right, come to the doctor, too.

- Wait up! I can't walk that fast with a bad pinky.

Ow! Ow! Ow! Wait up! Come back!

ys-- I have to sit out

today's practise to rehab my bruised pinky.

- Take the week off. - See ya, Monday.

- Oh, no, Bella, did you break something?

- You're not gonna have to quit football, are you?

- If you do, can we have your towels?

They're so soft.

- How do you know about my towels?

We should go.

- Relax, guys, the doctor said it's just a sprained shoulder.

- I'm sorry. I once had a pig who had a sprained shoulder.

We had to ice him and nurse him back to health for two months.

Did he get better?

- Yep, just in time for Christmas dinner.

- What? - What?

He had his own seat at the table.

He was an indoor pig.

- BELLA, TROY, COACH: Ahhh...

I appreciate the concern,

but I should be back and playing again in a week or so.

- Well, it looks like you're our QB until Bella gets back, Troy.

The Wonder Boy is back.

- Yeah, I guess the Wonder Boy is back.

Dawson, when you have a second, can I have a word?

Sure, Coach.

- Hey, Bella, do you have the red practise jersey

for your new QB?

- Yeah, uh, right here. - Thanks.

Uh, Bella? - Sorry.

Oh, and I had to widen it a bit in the bicep area.

You're workin' with some real pipe cleaners there, kiddo.

- Hey, I am built for speed, not power.

Right? - Yeah, sure.

- Look, Dawson, the best thing for a bad shoulder is rest.

If you don't let it heal properly,

you could end up like me.

I wake up in the morning and I sound like microwave popcorn.

- But, Coach, I don't want to rest.

If I miss a lot of games, you might replace me.

You're our best QB, Dawson.

My point is your job is safe.

Thanks, Coach.

I'm so relieved.

Hey, while I'm healing up,

I could teach Troy the new offense.

- Uh, yeah, I don't know, Dawson.

I don't wanna take any chances with the sprain getting worse.

Hey, guys, good news.

I just came up with a play where I throw a pass to myself!

I call it "The Troy to Troy Connection."

So, we'll talk?

- Teach him, Dawson. Teach him now.

- Attention, everyone. We're starting a new unit.

So we will be switching lab partners.

- Aw, he's gonna break us up.

- Pete, you're with Jonathan.

Pepper, you're with Alan.

Sophie, you're with, uh... - Please be me. Please be me.

- ...Newt. Sophie, you're with Newt.

Yes!

- But, Mr. Matu-- - I don't want to hear it.

It took me 45 minutes to figure out this seating chart.

It's not going to change.

- Ready to have some fun? You don't know this yet,

but I'm the best lab partner in all of Silverado.

Right, Alan? - It's true. He's a lab god.

Good to know.

Oh, and I smell good, too.

Wanna take a whiff of my cologne?

I already have.

The whole room has.

- Okay, Troy, we've added a lot of new plays

since the last time you were QB.

So, I'm gonna get you up to speed.

- Yeah, well, don't do too good of a job,

or else I might end up taking your spot.

- Yeah, right, like that's ever gonna happen.

Okay, let's look at some film from our last game.

The defense is in a cover two zone.

You have three possible receivers here.

See how I find Sawyer open--

- Great oogly-moogly, Troy the Wonder Boy

is blazin' down the field.

He's so fast, he's got time to spare.

Oh, he's even headin' over

to the opposing team's cheerleaders.

Get those figures, Troy. - Troy!

Stop playing with dollies and pay attention.

Now, open up your playbook and let's go over the game plan.

- Bella, look, I don't need a game plan.

We both know The Troy already has game.

Ooh, I wonder if Coach has any magnetic cheerleaders.

Give me that!

- Ow! Oh, no, it's getting worse.

Sorry, that was me.

- Something pretty for someone pretty.

- Uh, thanks. Uh, I'll cherish this.

Okay, today I just wanna focus on chemistry.

- So do I--specifically "our" chemistry.

Come on, Newt.

- Even he knew that was a bit much,

and he knows nothing about women.

Sorry.

- No, It's true. I'm an only child.

And I have two dads.

- All right, time to start the lab.

Let's flip on those Bunsen burners.

- How about a little romantic music

to go with the candlelight?

- Okay. - What are you doing?

Mr. Matu, I'm sorry.

I know you worked really hard on the seating chart,

but can I please have a new lab partner?

Why? What's going on?

Newt is driving me crazy.

Yeah, I can see that.

How about Alan? - Great. I love Alan.

Who's Alan? - I'm Alan.

- Oh, sweet, that dude. Let's do this.

- Okay, who are you throwing to when you call

a jet 2, wide 6, x-post?

Nice try, Bella.

I know a fake play when I hear one.

- It's right there on the armband I made you.

It's the first play!

Oh. My bad.

It's okay, okay? I don't need that play anyway.

- Come on, Troy, we face the Mustangs in two days.

- Bella, quit riding me, okay? I know what I'm doing.

I have played quarterback before.

- Okay, then how about a little challenge?

You play quarterback with the offense

and I'll coach the defense.

You're on.

All right, Wonder Boy offense on one.

- Ready? - Break!

Watch and learn.

Set! Hut!

Set! Hut!

Oh, sorry.

I thought you were gonna run it.

You told them all my plays.

No, I just reminded them

that you always go to the same three plays--

run right, run left, and run up the middle.

- Don't forget--Coach tells me to pass it

and I run it anyway.

Yeah, but...but...

I can still lead us to victory.

Bella's right.

If they stopped us without any prep,

imagine what the Mustangs will do.

Troy, let's talk.

I think I know what your problem is.

You're not comfortable passing the ball,

so you keep running it.

That is not true.

But if it were, how would you fix it?

I would listen to me.

Troy, you have a great arm. You just need to use it more.

- All right, but I don't think it's gonna work.

Offense, line up.

Okay, guys...

jet 2, wide 6, x-post.
