Jess

[An opposing team player grabs Jess' shirt and pulls her down]

What you playing at?

Opposing team player

Piss off, Paki! [Jess repeatedly shoves the opposing player]

Referee

Go away. Number 7, come here.

Mr. Paxton

What's the matter with you, ref?

Referee

Number 7. [Gives a penalty marker to Jess] Violent conduct towards a player.
Jess' teammates: No! You can't do that! You haven't seen any of it, have yah? It's out of order!

Football boy 1

She is so hard!

Football boy 2

Oh, man! Unlucky, Tony, mate!
...

Joe

[Joe is disciplining Jess in the changer room]

What the hell's wrong with you, Bhamra?! I don't ever want to see anything like that from you ever again! We're lucky they're not suspending players from this tournament! Excellent! We've got QPR in the final. Three cheers - hip, hip!

Team

Hurray!

Joe

Hip, hip!

Team

Hurray!

Joe

Hip, hip!

Team

Hurray!

Joe

Brilliant!

Jess

[Jess is silent the whole time, when Joe leaves, Jess suddenly gets up and follows Joe]

Why did you yell at me like that? You knew the ref was out of order!

Joe

You could have cost us the tournament!

Jess

But it wasn't my fault!

Jess

You didn't have to shout at me!

Joe

I'm your coach. I have to treat you the same as everyone else

Joe

Look, Jess. I saw it. She fouled you. She tugged your shirt. You just overreacted, that's all.

Jess

That's not all. She called me a Paki. But I guess that's something you wouldn't understand.

Joe

Jess, I'm Irish. Of course I understand what that feels like.
