00:00:10,520 --> 00:00:14,480
I guess you wouldn't know it
from what I wear, but my name is Alex.
4
00:00:20,560 --> 00:00:22,600
I live in the metropolis of West Appleton.
5
00:00:23,080 --> 00:00:25,720
It's a nice town
and I've got great friends here.
6
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:41,240
That's Ken, Elisa, Delia, and me,
7
00:00:41,320 --> 00:00:43,400
coming out of Nancy's old-fashioned diner.
8
00:00:47,640 --> 00:00:51,280
There's Ken, the music guru.
He loves all kinds of tunes,
9
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:53,160
as long as they're at least 50 years old.
10
00:00:54,240 --> 00:00:58,400
This is the very stylish Elisa,
queen of the poodle skirt and bobby socks.
11
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,600
But don't let those clothes fool you,
she's a great bowler.
12
00:01:02,560 --> 00:01:04,440
Last, but not least, is Delia.
13
00:01:04,800 --> 00:01:07,800
She makes up in brains
what she lacks in bowling brawn.
14
00:01:13,640 --> 00:01:15,960
After breakfast, we head down
to my dad's bowling alley.
15
00:01:16,040 --> 00:01:17,480
I've got the keys to the joint.
16
00:01:17,560 --> 00:01:19,520
So, in the morning, we crank up
those swinging tunes
17
00:01:19,600 --> 00:01:22,720
and roll a few frames
to start our day. Sweet, huh?
18
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:30,840
I love the smell of rental shoes
in the morning.
19
00:01:32,640 --> 00:01:35,080
This is the way
the world should be all the time.

-You see Todd McLemore?
-(HOOTING)
23
00:01:51,360 --> 00:01:53,480
You know, the one with the winning smile.
24
00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:57,080
This is his world,
the world of serious athletics.
25
00:01:57,160 --> 00:01:59,080
The world I'll never understand.
26
00:01:59,160 --> 00:02:01,440
And you gotta figure
it's always gonna be that way.
27
00:02:01,520 --> 00:02:04,760
The biggest thing in Todd's charmed life
right now is a big hunk of metal
28
00:02:04,840 --> 00:02:06,560
called the Mighty Apple trophy.
29
00:02:06,640 --> 00:02:09,960
Which is only interesting to me because
it slightly resembles a bowling ball.
30
00:02:10,600 --> 00:02:13,360
If McLemore can lead
the mighty West Appletonians to victory
31
00:02:13,440 --> 00:02:16,240
in basketball, we will tie up
the fight for the Mighty Apple.

I don't know, Alex. A spotlight.
People cheering.
44
00:03:06,360 --> 00:03:08,720
I thought the golden boy hated attention.
45
00:03:13,160 --> 00:03:16,640
All right! We're gonna win tonight!
46
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:19,880
I promise, I won't let you down.
So, see you all at the game.

ALEX: How would Todd McLemore's world
and mine ever collide?
48

I just don't see it.
49
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:34,880
I'm gonna be late tonight.
50
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:36,920
I gotta go to the game with my dad,
or I'll be disowned.
51
00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:38,240
But I'll sneak away early.
52
00:03:38,320 --> 00:03:39,360
We'll be waiting, Slim.

00:03:40,760 --> 00:03:42,080
Yeah, it's the strange dudes.

Hey, you coming to the game,

00:03:44,440 --> 00:03:47,320
Why would you want us to take up seats

launched with 14 pounds of force.
67
00:04:14,200 --> 00:04:17,080
I bank most of my shots off the backboard
using the simple formula
68
00:04:17,160 --> 00:04:19,880
of tangent-x times cosine-y,
where x and y relate
69
00:04:19,960 --> 00:04:21,640
to the height and angle
of my initial shot.
70
00:04:22,120 --> 00:04:24,440
Using the backboard
as a matrix, of course.
71
00:04:24,520 --> 00:04:27,760
And if you accept my challenge,
Mr. Smart-mouth,

00:04:27,840 --> 00:04:30,200

I've got no idea what they are.

Guys, West Appleton wins!
175
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,280
Yippee.
176
00:09:30,320 --> 00:09:32,240
Oh, guys, come on.
177
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:34,440
Guys, this is the last year
of the Mighty Apple.
178
00:09:34,520 --> 00:09:36,200
We want to keep it in this town, right?
179
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:41,960
Right? I mean, it's the glue
that binds us West Appletonians together.
180
00:09:42,040 --> 00:09:43,040
Yes, it does.
181
00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:44,720
It's a silly trophy, Dad.
182
00:09:45,400 --> 00:09:48,120
Oh, yeah, I know,
but, I mean, it has meaning.
183
00:09:48,720 --> 00:09:52,920
I mean, it proves that we can all...
All strive for what we want, right?
184
00:09:54,240 --> 00:09:58,920
Huh? I mean, it proves that we can all...
All unite for a common good.
185
00:10:00,080 --> 00:10:02,520

(SWING MUSIC RESUMES PLAYING

191
00:10:21,280 --> 00:10:24,000
Well, anything that makes
a big shot out of a kid like Todd McLemore
192
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,760
is not a good thing at all.
193
00:10:26,040 --> 00:10:28,600
I know. I just don't know why everyone
cares so much about it.
194
00:10:28,680 --> 00:10:31,960
Talk to my dad and you'll understand.
He played for that trophy.
195
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:34,080
He reminds me about it every day.
196

Twice a day,

Okay, guys, one more game. Winner pays.

But you always win,
and your dad doesn't charge you.

Nice arrangement, huh?
201
00:10:50,080 --> 00:10:54,320
Well, it's all tied up, Jeff. Fun, huh?
202
00:10:54,400 --> 00:10:56,600
We'll check the charter
for the tiebreaker tomorrow, Mayor,

-Hey.
-Now, that was a fantastic finish, huh?

Sweet Lou wants to interview you tomorrow,
and I've set up a meeting
208
00:11:10,200 --> 00:11:12,880
with Appleton News again.
It'll be just like when you won

Maybe I'll call around and see
if we can get some regional coverage.

Whatever, but let's go home. I'm beat.

Nah. Not interested. Thanks.

Come on, champ. Let's go home.

from my dad,

but sometimes love and money
don't go hand-in-hand.

if we had to close the place.

It's only a trophy, Jeff.

After all of Todd's hard work this year,
we're gonna lose the Mighty Apple

because of bowling? I can't allow it!
253
00:13:00,520 --> 00:13:03,360
You saw the charter.
Both schools have bowling clubs.
254
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:06,480
And bowling is the only tiebreaker listed
where we both have teams.
255
00:13:06,560 --> 00:13:07,560
We have no choice.
256
00:13:07,680 --> 00:13:10,120
All right, we'll hold tryouts.
We'll load the team with talent.
257
00:13:10,200 --> 00:13:13,880
No tryouts. We have to field our team
based on who signed up for bowling club

00:13:13,960 --> 00:13:15,440
-at the beginning of the year.
-(GROANS)
259
00:13:15,520 --> 00:13:19,520
On the plus side, we won the coin toss,
so we get home alley advantage.
260
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,080
Anyway, maybe the team will be good.
261
00:13:22,160 --> 00:13:23,800
Oh, yeah, right. Think of our alley.
262
00:13:23,880 --> 00:13:26,520
Think of Kevin Thompson, for Pete's sake.
Then ask yourself,
263
00:13:26,600 --> 00:13:29,200
what type of losers are members
of the bowling club?

(GROANS IN DISGUST)
265
00:13:40,880 --> 00:13:42,640
Why does it matter who else signed up
for bowling club?
266
00:13:42,720 --> 00:13:44,640
We're the only ones who ever show up.
267

The club list is here somewhere.
268
00:13:48,040 --> 00:13:50,040
You guys don't think we can beat the East.

Is that what's going on?
270
00:13:51,520 --> 00:13:53,880
We never said that.
We simply wish to explore
271
00:13:53,960 --> 00:13:55,560
and find out all the options.
272
00:13:55,640 --> 00:13:57,680

This is not great news.

Well, your mom and her dad think it is.
293
00:14:59,360 --> 00:15:01,200
You know, Grandpa might be out
of the hospital in time
294
00:15:01,280 --> 00:15:02,680
for them both to make it back
for the match.
295
00:15:03,960 --> 00:15:05,760
Plus, it could be big things
for the alley here.
296
00:15:05,880 --> 00:15:08,720
But I like bowling 'cause
it isn't the next big thing.
297

Never has been and never will be.
298
00:15:10,960 --> 00:15:13,960
When I was your age,
bowling was the thing to do.
299

It's only cool to you now, my friend,
'cause it was cool to us then.

00:15:27,840 --> 00:15:31,400
I guess so.
If it's good for the alley, then fine.

Todd, it appears you have no time
to rest on your laurels.
303
00:15:44,280 --> 00:15:48,000
The Mighty Apple is gonna go to the town
whose school bowls best.
304
00:15:48,520 --> 00:15:51,400
I've led our school to victories
in basketball, baseball, tennis, football,
305
00:15:51,480 --> 00:15:53,720
and track. I don't see why bowling
will be any different.
306
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:56,360
(CHUCKLES) Okay,
spoken like a true competitor.
307
00:15:56,440 --> 00:16:02,280
But let me ask you, can you bowl?
Do you bowl? Have you bowled?
308
00:16:02,600 --> 00:16:07,000
Come on, Sweet Lou, everyone bowls.
I can do this. Trust me.
309
00:16:15,440 --> 00:16:16,600
Good job, Alex.
310
00:16:16,680 --> 00:16:19,400
Another one? (SCOFFS)
You've gotta be kidding me.
311
00:16:20,400 --> 00:16:23,480
Alex is pretty good there, Jeff.
Think your son can keep up?
312
00:16:24,200 --> 00:16:27,040
Oh, we McLemores have a long history
of rising to the challenge.
313

Unlike some people I know,
Mr. Oops-I-dropped-the-ball.
314
00:16:31,400 --> 00:16:33,200
It was a bad throw.

ALEX: Do you know
what they're talking about?
316
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:39,640
I don't. Every time my dad and the mayor
get together, I get a weird vibe.
317
00:16:39,800 --> 00:16:41,960
Like something major happened
to the two in the past.
318
00:16:42,600 --> 00:16:45,440
But you can't ask them what happened.
They never want to talk about it.
319
00:16:45,880 --> 00:16:47,280
Oh, well, anyway...
320
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:49,520
Come on, Todd. Show us what you got.

(ALL LAUGHING)

00:17:07,720 --> 00:17:09,280
Way to go, Todd!

Yeah.
326
00:17:16,160 --> 00:17:18,680
Hey, you guys bowl strikes every time?
327
00:17:19,480 --> 00:17:20,720
No, we're not that good.
328
00:17:21,240 --> 00:17:22,320
I didn't think so.
329
00:17:22,400 --> 00:17:24,320
Ten frames with all strikes
is a perfect game.
330
00:17:24,840 --> 00:17:26,920
It's pretty rare, like hitting
three homers in a baseball game.
331
00:17:27,520 --> 00:17:30,480
That's it? By the time we're done,
I guarantee you,
332
00:17:30,760 --> 00:17:32,200
I'll have bowled a 100.

Hey, don't laugh at me!
You know I'm gonna be that good.
337
00:17:39,480 --> 00:17:42,240
A perfect game is a 300, slick, not 100.
338
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:44,560
-That's like hitting a single.
-But you just said...
339
00:17:44,640 --> 00:17:46,840
Look, a strike scores 10
plus the next two balls you roll.
340
00:17:47,160 --> 00:17:49,840
So, you could score 30 points, see?
Think baseball, three strikes.
341
00:17:50,280 --> 00:17:52,000
A spare is 10 plus the next ball you roll.
342
00:17:52,080 --> 00:17:54,920
So if I said, "Hey, you got a spare ball."
Strike three, spare two.
343
00:17:55,000 --> 00:17:57,680
That's how come 100
is nothing too special. Got it?

how to bowl and triumph.

No kidding.
379

Maybe this will make people care
for bowling enough to save the alley.

Yeah. I hope so. I mean, sometimes I think
the only reason your dad keeps it open

is because you, me, Ken, and Delia
love bowling so much.

I've been watching you bowl,
and I think I can help you.

It's up to you if you wanna listen.

Really? And what's in it for you?
509
00:26:57,360 --> 00:27:00,520
Are you joking?
I thought you might wanna win.
510

And, I don't know,
maybe if you get excited,
511

other people will, too,
and my dad can save his alley.

513
00:27:08,400 --> 00:27:10,680
and I'll bring you
to Lauren's party tonight.

(SIGHS) Look,
I don't need pity or party invites.

If you want me to help you bowl,
just ask. We're teammates, right?

doing it your way,

to bring the Apple back to West Appleton?

We just set the rules with the East.

It's a four-on-four match,
one game per person.

Add up the score,
and the highest total score wins.

You can also add a substitute player
on the bench

for the current player at any time.

sub's in for good.

we should all bowl.

-Yeah.

with Mayor Hanburger of the East,

they will have to proclaim it

more pressure on these kids?

to lead you to victory,

Why? What they do
doesn't affect what we do.

00:34:40,720 --> 00:34:42,720
There's no offense and defense in bowling.
643
00:34:43,160 --> 00:34:44,760
But don't you wanna know
if we can beat them?
644
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:47,040
What good will it do to know in advance?
645
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,480

because maybe they stink.

Oh, wow!
655
00:35:45,240 --> 00:35:46,400
Look at this place.
656

Still, it's pretty impressive.
658
00:35:51,560 --> 00:35:54,360
Yeah, well, at least
the Big Apple lanes have character.

00:35:56,640 --> 00:35:59,920
Character? That's what
you want to call it.

00:36:13,280 --> 00:36:17,480
What? They've got the Nagurski twins,
who whomped all over us in football,

Wait, I thought that was tennis.
671
00:36:48,920 --> 00:36:51,680
Now remember, consistency is the key.
672
00:36:52,080 --> 00:36:55,200
Practice your approach over and over,
and you'll be ready for the big match.
673
00:36:55,280 --> 00:36:56,840
I promise you.
674
00:36:56,920 --> 00:36:58,120
Thanks for coming, Whipshaw.

00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,920
Sure thing, cousin. I'm just glad
I had a few days off from the tour.
676
00:37:02,000 --> 00:37:03,920
(CHUCKLING) I'll see you later.
677
00:37:05,320 --> 00:37:06,880
TODD: We don't stand a chance.
678
00:37:07,040 --> 00:37:08,080
They were all right.
679
00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:10,840
All right? They're like machines.
They're perfect.
680
00:37:11,200 --> 00:37:13,800
Don't give up
on the Mighty Apple just yet.
681
00:37:13,920 --> 00:37:16,160
They won't bowl strikes every time.
682
00:37:16,240 --> 00:37:17,280
Watch them with me. You'll see.
683
00:37:23,160 --> 00:37:24,960
No, I've seen enough.
684
00:37:26,520 --> 00:37:27,880
ALEX: Suit yourself.
685
00:37:30,320 --> 00:37:32,120
Well, what do we have here?
686
00:37:32,680 --> 00:37:34,520
Hi. (LAUGHS NERVOUSLY) I was just leaving.
687
00:37:34,600 --> 00:37:36,840
I don't like spies. You like spies, Baron?
688
00:37:37,240 --> 00:37:39,240
Spying? You didn't think I was,
you know...
689
00:37:39,360 --> 00:37:41,440
Hey! There you are, you loser.
690
00:37:41,760 --> 00:37:44,880
Well, well, if it isn't McLemore.
We hear you're Mr. Bowling now.
691
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:46,320
I told you not to come here.
692
00:37:46,400 --> 00:37:48,080
Where's your sense of sportsmanship, man?
693
00:37:48,240 --> 00:37:49,960
But I came here with you.
694
00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:51,320
That a fact, McLemore?
695
00:37:51,400 --> 00:37:54,200
Me? Hanging with this guy?
Guess again, boys.
696
00:37:54,400 --> 00:37:55,680
You gonna take care of him?
697
00:37:55,760 --> 00:37:56,760
Oh, don't you worry about it.
698
00:37:56,880 --> 00:37:59,200
I'll make sure this punk
doesn't bother you again.
699
00:38:04,840 --> 00:38:07,040
What are you doing?
This was all your idea.
700
00:38:07,240 --> 00:38:10,040
(LAUGHING) Let's get out of here.
701
00:38:12,000 --> 00:38:13,440
I knew what you were doing all along.
702
00:38:13,600 --> 00:38:16,280
Oh, yeah, right.
You're a horrible actor, then.
703
00:38:16,400 --> 00:38:18,280
Me? Look who's talking.
704
00:38:18,480 --> 00:38:21,800
Unless you were acting
when you thought we'd lose to the East.
705
00:38:21,880 --> 00:38:23,600
Well, then, I guess
you were pretty good, too, then.
706
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,200
(SCOFFS) Oh, get over it.
707
00:38:27,640 --> 00:38:29,440
They were pretty good, weren't they?
708
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:33,120
Look. Meet me at the alley
tomorrow morning.
709
00:38:33,640 --> 00:38:38,200
I'll teach you how to bowl, with style.
Then you won't be too scared of them.
710
00:38:38,280 --> 00:38:40,600
Me? You were the scared one.
711
00:38:40,680 --> 00:38:42,920
You actually thought
I was mad at you, didn't you?
712
00:38:43,000 --> 00:38:45,040
-ALEX: No.
-Yes, you did. Admit it.
713
00:39:04,880 --> 00:39:05,960
DELIA: Hey, Todd.
714
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:07,920
Man, it's early. What am I doing here?
715
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:09,960
Gotta move, gotta jive.
716
00:39:10,040 --> 00:39:11,040
What the heck does that mean?
717
00:39:11,120 --> 00:39:12,320
That's what we're doing today, Todd.
718
00:39:12,400 --> 00:39:13,880
Yep. Time to get in the zone.
719
00:39:16,480 --> 00:39:17,920
Hey.
720
00:39:18,320 --> 00:39:21,200
Delia isn't using her lane today.
Why don't you come over and join us?
721
00:39:24,240 --> 00:39:26,800
All right, let's get going.
I know the drill.
722
00:39:26,880 --> 00:39:29,480
No, Slick. You know form,
but you don't know style.
723
00:39:29,560 --> 00:39:30,840
ELISA: That's what you're gonna learn.
724
00:39:30,920 --> 00:39:32,280
Delia, hit it.
725
00:39:32,360 --> 00:39:34,360
(RIGHT DOWN THE MIDDLE PLAYING)
726
00:40:57,720 --> 00:40:58,920
(CHUCKLES)
727
00:41:00,080 --> 00:41:01,240
(GRUNTS)
728
00:41:02,120 --> 00:41:04,280
Well, your music is weird,
729
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:06,800
but I think you can really
turn this into something.
730
00:41:06,880 --> 00:41:08,120
What do you mean?
731
00:41:08,200 --> 00:41:09,480
Well, if you want people to come bowling,
732
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:11,640
you gotta make it more fun
till they get hooked.
733
00:41:11,720 --> 00:41:13,400
This was fun. Sell it.
734
00:41:13,480 --> 00:41:14,480
There's nothing to sell.
735
00:41:14,560 --> 00:41:16,520
Sure there is. Make it a party.
736
00:41:16,600 --> 00:41:20,480
Dancing, food, a light show,
cool tunes, and bowling.
737
00:41:20,560 --> 00:41:23,400
Once a week.
Make the alley the place to be.
738
00:41:23,480 --> 00:41:26,240
We do it soon, while everyone's
got bowling on their minds.
739
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:28,680
Now you're thinking.
Every week, a big party.
740
00:41:28,800 --> 00:41:29,840
It won't work.
741
00:41:29,920 --> 00:41:31,920
Trust me. The place doesn't even
fill up on league nights.
742
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:34,040
It'll work. I guarantee it.
743
00:41:34,120 --> 00:41:36,160
Yeah, Alex. Maybe we can save the alley.
744
00:41:37,680 --> 00:41:39,000
I don't know. Maybe.
745
00:41:39,080 --> 00:41:40,320
Now, what do we call it?
746
00:41:40,400 --> 00:41:41,840
Lane Dance?
747
00:41:41,920 --> 00:41:43,040
Alley Bash?
748
00:41:44,280 --> 00:41:45,920
(CLEARS THROAT)
749
00:41:47,560 --> 00:41:48,640
The Bowling Ball?
750
00:41:49,600 --> 00:41:51,040
Yeah.
751
00:41:51,600 --> 00:41:52,640
Nice.
752
00:41:56,920 --> 00:42:00,080
Todd, we don't exactly have money
to buy supplies or anything.
753
00:42:00,320 --> 00:42:02,200
So, why exactly are we going shopping?
754
00:42:02,280 --> 00:42:04,160
We're not exactly going shopping.
755
00:42:04,240 --> 00:42:06,440
We're... Just let me handle it.
756
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,120
But shouldn't you be practicing, anyway?
757
00:42:10,200 --> 00:42:11,560
I'm getting better. You said so.
758
00:42:12,360 --> 00:42:14,200
Yeah, you're coming along.
759
00:42:14,440 --> 00:42:19,920
Ha, ha, ha! Todd, Alex. The whole town
is counting on you two. Are you ready?
760
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:24,200
Hey, we are so ready, sir.
761
00:42:24,400 --> 00:42:25,440
Attaboy!
762
00:42:28,760 --> 00:42:32,000
The match is in two weeks.
You said you were worried about the East.
763
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:34,640
Yeah, but you gotta wanna win, man,
and you gotta show it.
764
00:42:34,960 --> 00:42:36,040
That's how leaders work.
765
00:42:36,120 --> 00:42:37,800
You shouldn't be worried.
You got a gift, man.
766
00:42:37,880 --> 00:42:39,120
All you have to do is try and use it.
767
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,080
Yeah. I guess I can do that.
768
00:42:42,600 --> 00:42:44,720
Now you're talking like a guy I like.
Come on.
769
00:42:50,200 --> 00:42:51,640
Now, watch and learn.
770
00:42:54,960 --> 00:42:56,560
Good afternoon, Ms. Johnson.
771
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:59,480
Well, hello, Todd.
Getting ready to trounce the East?
772
00:42:59,600 --> 00:43:02,440
Absolutely! And the thing is,
I got this project in mind,
773
00:43:03,440 --> 00:43:05,840
but I've got no cash...
774
00:43:06,000 --> 00:43:08,400
But I thought maybe you could help.
775
00:43:09,040 --> 00:43:11,040
Help you, Todd? It would be my pleasure.
776
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:12,240
(BOTH CHUCKLE)'
777
00:43:18,960 --> 00:43:20,440
(PINBALL MACHINE BEEPING)
778
00:43:23,440 --> 00:43:24,440
Hey, guys.
779
00:43:24,520 --> 00:43:26,800
-Hey, Dad.
-What do you got? What is all this?
780
00:43:27,280 --> 00:43:31,240
This is town spirit. We got paint,
silly string, and a whole lot of lights.
781
00:43:31,720 --> 00:43:32,960
People just gave it to us.
782
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:35,520
They gave it to you?
(CHUCKLES) Well, great.
783
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:37,640
I'll get Sweet Lou
to mention them all on the air.
784
00:43:37,920 --> 00:43:41,600
He owes me. Plus, I plan on getting
a sound system and maybe some lasers.
785
00:43:41,800 --> 00:43:44,200
'Cause if I'm inviting my friends,
this place has got to rock.
786
00:43:44,320 --> 00:43:45,520
Well, come on, we have more work to do.
787
00:43:45,640 --> 00:43:46,680
Hey, give me a sec.
788
00:43:46,760 --> 00:43:47,760
All right, I'll see you outside.
789
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:49,520
-Thanks.
-TODD: You're welcome.
790
00:43:49,600 --> 00:43:50,800
(CHUCKLES)
791
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:53,360
I don't know, Dad.
It's gonna change the place.
792
00:43:55,840 --> 00:43:57,760
It won't be real bowling anymore.
793
00:43:58,800 --> 00:44:01,240
Alex, we talked about this, right?
794
00:44:01,480 --> 00:44:03,640
I mean, this place has got to change.
795
00:44:05,200 --> 00:44:06,880
Sit down.
796
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:10,760
You know what I did today?
797
00:44:10,840 --> 00:44:13,120
I got my real estate license. Yeah.
798
00:44:13,720 --> 00:44:16,120
But I had to start drafting up
a listing on this place.
799
00:44:16,200 --> 00:44:18,480
You know how that made me feel? Bad.
800
00:44:19,360 --> 00:44:22,360
But I don't know. All this stuff you guys
are doing here, maybe it'll help.
801
00:44:23,240 --> 00:44:25,600
But we're trying to change the alley
into something totally different.
802
00:44:26,440 --> 00:44:28,320
It won't be our own special place anymore.
803
00:44:28,560 --> 00:44:31,440
KEVIN: No, it'll always be
your own special place.
804
00:44:32,480 --> 00:44:34,800
But, Alex, we have to
take care of the business side.
805
00:44:34,880 --> 00:44:36,600
I mean, that's just the way life is.
806
00:44:37,480 --> 00:44:39,800
Anyway, maybe you'll find out that,
you know,
807
00:44:39,880 --> 00:44:43,840
different isn't necessarily bad.
It's just, you know, it's just different.
808
00:44:45,840 --> 00:44:47,160
You know, seeing you and Todd together
809
00:44:47,240 --> 00:44:50,400
makes me kind of flash back
to when I was your age.
810
00:44:51,200 --> 00:44:52,200
Why?
811
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:55,480
Well, because Jeff McLemore and I
used to be best friends.
812
00:44:56,640 --> 00:44:58,160
No way! You and the mayor?
813
00:44:58,440 --> 00:44:59,920
Yeah, me and the mayor.
814
00:45:00,360 --> 00:45:02,160
And we fought for the Mighty Apple.
815
00:45:03,320 --> 00:45:05,160
I gotta tell you something,
816
00:45:05,240 --> 00:45:06,760
there is nothing that we would love more
817
00:45:06,840 --> 00:45:09,120
than to see our kids
bring it back here to the West.
818
00:45:11,560 --> 00:45:14,400
But that was a long time ago.
819
00:45:14,960 --> 00:45:17,280
We've got to focus
on saving this place, right?
820
00:45:17,400 --> 00:45:18,560
'Cause I want to keep it badly.
821
00:45:20,120 --> 00:45:23,440
So, here's the plan, you go on out there
with your buddies,
822
00:45:24,160 --> 00:45:27,120
and like Todd said,
you make this place rock.
823
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:29,400
You got it, Dad.
824
00:45:29,480 --> 00:45:30,960
Okay.
825
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,360
Come on, Todd. Let's get to work.
826
00:45:42,800 --> 00:45:44,400
-Man, what if no one comes?
-(LAUGHING)
827
00:45:45,360 --> 00:45:47,120
-They'll come.
-(CHUCKLES)
828
00:45:48,720 --> 00:45:50,160
You know your dad and my dad used to be,
like, best friends?
829
00:45:50,920 --> 00:45:52,000
Get out of here. You're lying.
830
00:45:53,560 --> 00:45:54,680
I'm not.
831
00:45:54,760 --> 00:45:57,280
Forget about it.
We need to get some flyers printed.
832
00:45:58,440 --> 00:45:59,640
Like we got the paint?
833
00:46:00,080 --> 00:46:01,120
Exactly.
834
00:46:10,520 --> 00:46:12,080
Hey, come bowl next Friday.
Spread the word.
835
00:46:12,160 --> 00:46:13,160
You're gonna be there, right?
836
00:46:13,240 --> 00:46:14,480
Hey, come bowling next Friday!
837
00:46:14,560 --> 00:46:15,680
Bowling! Come bowling with us!
838
00:46:15,760 --> 00:46:16,760

Hey, come bowling next Friday!
840
00:46:19,040 --> 00:46:20,080
You'll be there?

00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,320
-Hey, Lauren!
-Hey.
842
00:46:21,400 --> 00:46:22,720
You're coming bowling next Friday, right?
843
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:23,840
Of course, I'll be there, Todd.
844
00:46:23,920 --> 00:46:25,280
All right, I'll see you there.

Flip, you know you want to do this, man.
847
00:46:30,000 --> 00:46:31,040
Yeah, man. I'm all over it.

Bowling dude!
852
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,760
And you're coming bowling next Friday,
right, Bubba? There'll be food.
853

-Food?
-Food.

It's an awesome combination.

only the seven-ten split.

Oh, nice of you to join us.
878

You spend the next four years
straight in here,

00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:34,360
and you'll have practiced
as much as we have, then we'll talk.

who has the right attitude.

You think you know everything

It's not enough.
888

Well, then let me tell you something else.
889
00:48:52,440 --> 00:48:54,960
My entire life,
my father has wanted me to play sports.
890
00:48:55,320 --> 00:48:58,120
"You could be a star," he tells me.
"You've got the talent," he says.
891
00:48:58,200 --> 00:49:00,560
But you know what? I have fun bowling,
892
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:02,240
and I don't like other sports.
893
00:49:02,320 --> 00:49:04,320
Now, all of a sudden,
bowling means everything to our town.
894
00:49:04,960 --> 00:49:07,920
And you think I don't care?
Think again, golden boy.
895
00:49:09,560 --> 00:49:11,880
That's more like it.
896
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:14,800
You gotta know that it's okay
to aim high, and it's okay to show it.
897
00:49:15,000 --> 00:49:18,120
Show it like you do? I'll pass.
898
00:49:18,400 --> 00:49:21,640

make the next ten days real pleasant.

Your dad's got you and Alex
on with Sweet Lou tonight.

Sweet Lou?
913

Excellent!
914
00:49:59,400 --> 00:50:03,040
We told Sweet Lou you're
the captain of the team. Just so you know.
915
00:50:05,680 --> 00:50:08,000
Todd, that's not fair. We should vote
on our own captain.
916
00:50:08,240 --> 00:50:10,520
Well, Sweet Lou's expecting me.
917
00:50:10,600 --> 00:50:12,080
Look, why don't you guys vote
on a co-captain?
918
00:50:17,880 --> 00:50:19,320
It's you, Alex, as long as you promise
919
00:50:19,400 --> 00:50:20,960
to come by the diner tonight
and tell us all about it.
920
00:50:21,040 --> 00:50:23,080
I promise, if you guys promise to listen.

back on WWAP.

Joining me in the studio today,
926
00:50:38,880 --> 00:50:41,440
I have the captain of the bowling team,
Todd McLemore,
927
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,600
and his co-captain, Alex Thompson.
928
00:50:43,680 --> 00:50:45,720
Now, let me ask you guys the one question
929
00:50:45,800 --> 00:50:47,880
that all of West Appleton
wants to have answered.
930
00:50:48,640 --> 00:50:51,280
It's a simple one. Will you win? Alex?
931
00:50:51,360 --> 00:50:52,840
Well, this is gonna be
the best bowling match

And our team's awfully good. Trust me.

then trust me.

-Great crowd.
-Big crowd.

although I wish we got to pick the music.

I'm so sick of that Alex kid.

After the Apple,
things will be back to normal.

You don't have to hang out with him,
you know?

So, stop complaining.

I guess it's worth it if we win,

Yeah, they left about an hour ago. Why?

No reason. Just wondering, that's all.
1054
00:59:26,200 --> 00:59:28,160
Man, I hate this Mighty Apple stuff.
1055
00:59:28,760 --> 00:59:31,920
Really? I thought you were
kinda liking it a little bit.
1056
00:59:33,480 --> 00:59:36,400
I don't know.
It just makes everything so different.

Well, it can make some things different,
1058

that the time you've spent here

has been time we took the time to notice.

Of course, we want you to win,

to represent us Wildcats well.

to wear the school colors, huh?

If we win, the new school will be called
West Appleton Junior High,

East Appleton Junior High.

through the fires before.

win or lose.

01:06:34,040 --> 01:06:35,360
Hey, what do you want?
1183
01:06:36,560 --> 01:06:38,920
I'm sorry everything got so messed up,
you know?
1184
01:06:39,440 --> 01:06:41,760
That's all I can say. (SIGHS)
1185
01:06:42,600 --> 01:06:44,760
Right. Probably wasn't even your fault.
1186
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:49,640
You know, I never thought
I'd actually like you.
1187
01:06:50,840 --> 01:06:52,480
(SCOFFS) I never thought I'd like bowling.
1188
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:54,840
All I thought about was winning.
1189
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:58,360
I always wanted to win, too.
We all did, really.
1190
01:06:58,440 --> 01:06:59,880
We just didn't care the same way you did.
1191
01:07:00,600 --> 01:07:02,680
I know that now, dummy.
That's what I'm saying.
1192
01:07:02,760 --> 01:07:04,280
You're not me. You're not the same as me.
1193
01:07:04,360 --> 01:07:05,440
No.
1194
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:09,280
You know what the big difference is?
1195

1196
01:07:12,240 --> 01:07:13,640
(CHUCKLES) Yeah.
1197
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:16,840
I play every sport I can.
1198
01:07:16,920 --> 01:07:18,760
But I'm not there because I have fun.
1199
01:07:18,840 --> 01:07:21,440
I'm there because that's what I do,
and I'm good at it.
1200
01:07:21,920 --> 01:07:23,760
Sure, sometimes it's a blast,
1201
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:26,000
but that's not why I'm there.
1202
01:07:28,240 --> 01:07:29,440
Bowling was fun.
1203
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:31,560
Bowling still is fun, Alex.
1204
01:07:31,880 --> 01:07:34,000
Tomorrow, let's forget
about the big stakes.
1205
01:07:34,080 --> 01:07:35,400
Let's just go out there and bowl.
1206
01:07:35,480 --> 01:07:38,920
If we win, great, and if not,
well, we'll have fun, and we'll try.

But I want you there.

If I've chased you away,
I'm not gonna have any fun at all,
1210
01:07:44,600 --> 01:07:46,200
and I really wanna have fun.
1211
01:07:48,800 --> 01:07:50,080
Look...
1212
01:07:55,920 --> 01:07:57,960
It's yours whether or not you play.
1213
01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,760
"Tex"?
1214
01:07:59,840 --> 01:08:01,600
You look like a Tex. (CHUCKLES)
1215
01:08:02,680 --> 01:08:03,880
It's our new uniforms.
1216
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:06,480
And I think I'm gonna be Dirk.

(LAUGHING)
1218
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:09,640
Just promise me something,
1219
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,080
the next time you bowl, whenever it is,
just have fun again.
1220
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:17,080
Good night, Dirk.

1223
01:08:33,360 --> 01:08:34,640
Thought I heard voices.
1224
01:08:34,720 --> 01:08:36,120
Nah. It's just me.

1227
01:08:41,160 --> 01:08:43,160
She and Grandpa are coming back
tomorrow night.
1228
01:08:44,880 --> 01:08:46,320
They said they miss you.
1229
01:08:47,160 --> 01:08:48,520
(BOTH LAUGH)
1230
01:08:48,600 --> 01:08:49,840
And I miss bowling.
1231
01:08:50,680 --> 01:08:52,200
You know, the way it used to be.
1232
01:08:55,400 --> 01:08:57,720
You know, Jeff McLemore and I
used to play second base
1233
01:08:57,800 --> 01:08:59,880
and shortstop on the school baseball team.
1234
01:09:00,800 --> 01:09:05,440
Bottom of the ninth against East Appleton,
we mess up a double play.
1235
01:09:06,480 --> 01:09:08,120
He says that I dropped the ball,
1236
01:09:08,200 --> 01:09:12,440
and I say that he made a bad throw,
but we lost the game.
1237
01:09:13,400 --> 01:09:15,320
Later on in the year, we lose the Apple,
1238
01:09:16,920 --> 01:09:20,200
and we decided it was because
of that missed double play.
1239
01:09:21,040 --> 01:09:22,840
It became a huge thing between us.
1240
01:09:23,760 --> 01:09:25,400
We stopped having fun together,
1241
01:09:26,680 --> 01:09:28,360
and we stopped being friends.
1242
01:09:30,040 --> 01:09:32,480
We claimed that the Mighty Apple
changed us.
1243
01:09:34,040 --> 01:09:37,760
Of course, it wasn't really the Apple,
it was, uh... It was just us.
1244
01:09:39,680 --> 01:09:41,280
Letting that happen
was the stupidest thing
1245
01:09:41,360 --> 01:09:43,280
either one of us has ever done.
1246
01:09:50,320 --> 01:09:51,720
You lock up when you come in?
1247
01:09:52,800 --> 01:09:54,200
-Yeah?
-Yeah.

For those of you listening at home,
1301
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:22,560
let me tell you what the rules are.
1302
01:13:22,640 --> 01:13:23,680
They're simple.
1303
01:13:23,760 --> 01:13:25,760
Each squad starts with four bowlers.
1304
01:13:25,880 --> 01:13:28,040
At any point in time in a bowler's game,
1305
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:30,280
a substitution can be made,
1306
01:13:30,360 --> 01:13:32,360
and that bowler finishes the game.
1307
01:13:33,720 --> 01:13:35,280
You're going down.
1308
01:13:35,360 --> 01:13:38,040
It's bowling, Slick. Mellow out.
1309
01:13:38,120 --> 01:13:41,520
Mellow out? The attitude of a true loser.
1310

SWEET LOU:
And I don't think we're gonna be seeing
1311
01:13:43,200 --> 01:13:44,200
much in the way of substitutions,
1312
01:13:44,280 --> 01:13:47,400
even though both teams
have a sub on the bench.
1313
01:13:47,480 --> 01:13:49,920
But there is always that chance.
1314
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:53,640
Anyways, you add up the total
of the four games,
1315
01:13:53,720 --> 01:13:54,960
and that's your total.
1316
01:13:55,040 --> 01:13:56,920
The team with the highest total wins.
1317
01:13:57,040 --> 01:13:58,360
It's simple.
1318
01:13:58,440 --> 01:14:02,080
Not really head-to-head,
but still head-to-head.

Entering into the tenth frame,
and East Appleton leads,
1353
01:16:40,840 --> 01:16:43,320
but the West is working on more marks.
1354
01:16:43,400 --> 01:16:46,960
They could catch up,
and dare I even dream it,
1355
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,720
win the Mighty Apple!
1356
01:16:48,800 --> 01:16:51,160
Okay, if I get three strikes, we tie.
1357
01:16:51,240 --> 01:16:54,320
Baron isn't working on a mark,
so the highest he could get is 30 points.
1358
01:16:54,400 --> 01:16:56,120
Todd, you're working on a strike.
1359
01:16:56,200 --> 01:16:58,880
You can top 30 in a heartbeat.
All you need is a strike or a spare...
1360
01:16:58,960 --> 01:17:00,480
-Not a problem.
-Exactly!
1361
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:02,160
Three strikes, Alex?
1362
01:17:02,240 --> 01:17:04,880
So not a problem. Right.
1363

or put one right up the middle?
1370
01:17:30,720 --> 01:17:32,360
I think you should not mess around.

in this situation?

but I shouldn't have gone last.

It's all right. Todd, man, you can do it.

It's child's play, man.
A spare, and that's it.

needs at least a spare

Todd McLemore launches a perfect ball,
but is denied.
1399
01:19:27,800 --> 01:19:29,280
Now he has a seven-ten split.
1400
01:19:29,360 --> 01:19:31,360
And he has to make this spare,
1401
01:19:31,440 --> 01:19:33,800
or the Apple goes home
with the dreaded Wolfpack.
1402

I think I'm having liver failure!
1403

It was a perfect ball.
1404
01:19:38,080 --> 01:19:41,000
You've bowled the best game of your life
under this pressure, Todd.
1405
01:19:41,080 --> 01:19:43,400
But I can't make this shot,
and we're gonna lose.

No, we're not.
1407
01:19:46,320 --> 01:19:48,200
I can make this shot.

It doesn't work that way, Dad.

Sometimes I'm not the best,
and you gotta let that be okay.

Now why don't you go back over there
