And vitamins!

Hey it's my two favorite people and Phil!

Very funny, Dad. I've never heard that one before.

So when i took over for coach Benson...

I hear he's a woman now!

Buck Weston

Oooh.

Actually uh, truth be told, *no one* knows where he is right now. A lot of people are... concerned.

I don't know *why* that's funny.

Mark Avery

Hey Buck, remember when we beat you at the championship game?

Buck Weston

I was born a baby, a blank slate, thinking I was in control of my own destiny. And then I met my father.

Buck Weston

You better be good at this stuff.
