S.J. Tuohy: Okay. See, you're the ketchup, here at Left Tackle. On the weakside. The first play is simple. "Gap." Now, see, dishes means you're going to block whoever is in front of you, or on your inside shoulder if you're not covered by a defender. Now, I'll be the running back and you show me what you're supposed to do. Ready.... Hike! You block him, you hit him, quarterback will hand it off, he gets the ball and... Open lane to the end zone. All there is to it.
Leigh Anne Tuohy: What's going on here?
Michael: Player Spice just scored.

Leigh Anne Tuohy: But he's okay, right?
Policeman: Busted lip, bruised face. Usually when someone his size gets the airbag it's fractured faces, a broken neck. Maybe worse. Like the air bag was coming at him then changed direction. Quiet defective or something like that. Your son's very, very lucky.
Leigh Anne Tuohy: No idea. I called the insurance. He's fine. He's fine! I'll talk to you later. I got to go. Bye. SJ's fine. He is. He's actually enjoying all the attention he's getting back there.

Michael: I stopped it.
