Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
(watching as little Phoebe (6) follows her
Uncle Roy home from School after Soccer
practice)
…Are you hungry?
(They have decamped to a local curry-house
restaurant on Richmond Green.)
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
Little Tradition —
(He gets Ted to raise his pint-glass to his own,
clink together, and each commence drinking
with a first, big gulp of freshly poured ale)
— let Battle commence.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
(appears serving as A Waiter)
Ted Lasso?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Hey there, Ollie.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
Leave it out. What are you doing here?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Well, I mean, you invited me, remember?
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
I invite every person
who's been in my car.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Hey, Ollie. This is my friend Trent.
Trent, this is my buddy Ollie.
(They shake hands)
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
Pleased to meet you.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Congrats. You both just met a cool person.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
Right, gentlemen.
You know what you're having?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Yeah. Well, you know, whatever
The Chef recommends.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
That would be my father-in-law.
Are you okay with a little bit of spice?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Have him make it for us like we're
a couple members of The Family.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
You're a brave man.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Oh, man. Mad respect.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
That might not be the wisest of choices.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
Here you go, boys.
Dig in.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Can't wait. The smell's already
deep inside my brain.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
Gonna love it.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
I appreciate it.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
I can't imagine they have
good Indian food in Kansas.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
I have no idea.
I've never had Indian food.
Wow, that... I mean, that's hot.
Oh boy, oh boy, oh boy.
Feel like I'm about to breathe fire.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent : (sips pint)
I don't think I can eat that.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
What? No, no, no. Come on now.
We gotta put a decent dent in this,
otherwise we're gonna embarrass Ollie
in front of his family.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
No, really, I can't.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Come on, just dump it on my plate.
(He does)
……Yeah, yeah. You're good.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
So, if you love Kansas
so much, why did you...
Why did you leave to coach a sport
you can barely... you know anything about?
Was it just The Money?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Wait, I'm supposed to be getting paid?
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
Are you enjoying the food?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Tell your father-in-law it's perfect.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport : (grinning)
Dad! He says it's perfect!
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
Ted. What you're doing is irresponsible.
This club actually means something
to This Town.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
I know that. I do.
Trent, what do you love?
Is it Writing?
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
Yes…… Yeah.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Well, good, 'caus
You're darn good at it.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
…..Thank you.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
You're welcome.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Me? I love coaching.
Now, I'm gonna say this again
just so you didn't think it was
a mistake the first time I said it.
For me, Success is not
about the wins and losses.
It's about helping these young fellas
be the best versions of themselves
on and off the field.
And it ain't always easy, Trent,
but neither is growing up without
someone believing in you.
Let me ask you this.
Is my tongue still in my mouth?
'Cause I am about to hallucinate
from all The Heat here.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
(….letting all this sink in.)
I really should go.
Deadlines and all.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Hey, gotta Do The Work.
Letters, and such —
Hey, I'll say this though.
I really enjoyed getting to
spend this time with you, Trent.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
— (squints at him) You
actually mean that, don't you?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Yeah.
Trent Crimm,
The Independent :
Yeah….. (extends his hand)
Thank you.
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
You're welcome.
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
You all right?
Normally, one dish is plenty,
but we know how you Americans
like to eat, innit?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
Let's do it, huh?
Ollie, Ted’s Über-Driver
That picked him up from
Heathrow Airport :
Try that one.
Beautiful, right?
Ted Lasso (secretly Superman) :
It's beyond beautiful. It's hot.
