You're never too small to dream big.(taglines) Will Harris All my life, I've always wanted to play professional roarball where the fiercest animals compete in the most dangerous stadium. There's only one problem: I'm a small in a world of bigs. Wanna bet? Hey, I'm a goat. I see everything. Yeah, baby! We chilling in a penthouse! [singsongy] We chilling in a penthouse. We chilling in a penthouse. We chilling in a pent... Oh! This is crazy! My mom told me if anyone could change the game was me, and I want her to be right. All I need is one shot to show the world this kid's got game. Night-night, baby. It's my time now. These roots run deep! Baaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaah! Jett Fillmore [first lines] Yeah! Let's go, Vineland! A GOAT?! Florence Marjorie Everson! You're signing a goat?! Have you lost your mind?! I'm just gonna eat him. Yeah, I'm gonna eat him with a side of ranch dressing. What happened to no kids in the locker room? Hot paws over here! Modo, do your thing! And I'm best in the game. Lenny Williamson I'm sorry, you sayin' somethin'? [first lines] Ha! It's tear away. Don't look now, but there's a baby goat walking towards us with a weird smile on his face. Eh, the lyrics are kinda mid. Nothin' but neck! I don't play the long game, I play the tall game. I block every shot. I just wanna blow minds with my sick rhymes. That's my squad! That's my squad! "Goat Tears" is wack and I can't let it stand. Olivia Burke I'm good here. I live here now. I am the bird! [first lines] Okay, Olivia. Clear your mind. I am in control. I know who I am. I am good enough. I do not care about the opinions of others. I do not care what they're saying about me online, right now, across multiple platforms which I could check, just to see what they're saying. Phone! Phone. Does anyone have a phone? You're not even in uniform! Mane just dropped a diss track about goat boy! Oh, that is a banger! Lenny is a rapper. Can't catch me on the fast break. I'm unstoppable. I think. Whoever memes my beak, you will be hearing from my lawyer. We are champions! Modo Olachenko [first lines] Oh, not again. Modo is icon. That's just my skin. I molted If Modo were anymore of a ssssnack, he'd eat himself! You goats are weird. I like it! (teaser) Weird. I like it. Come. Dance. I'll make you feel weird, and you're not sure why. And I think there is a power struggle happening. I don't even know the rules of Roarball. Now I feel weird. Is this how I make everyone feel? Modo has something to say. Thorns staying in Vineland! [Everybody gasps in surprise. Modo holds up the ownership agreement contract] Modo is team owner. [The crowd exclaims in shock] Hi, piglet. Aha. Uno Reverse! Bye, piglet. Archie Everhardt Come on, Olivia. Me? I'm just trying to focus on my sweet baby angels. [first lines] Oh, Lenny. We're not doing your little dance, Modo. Come on, Will. Show him who's too small. Oh, thank God! These girls are crazy. Get me outta here. Quick, start the car! No one gets by me in the lane! [sobbing] I just want to be a good dad. Hey, Mane! He's not a small! HE'S... A... MEDIUM!!! Let me take a look at that. You're giving this freak lizard the team?! Mane Attraction Wait, wait. A goat?! [laughing as the crowd started laughing at Will] Thanks for the laugh, little dude, but, uh, why don't you run back to the kiddie pool. Get you an ice cream. But, seriously, any takers? This is my house! Looks like you gonna make me take my chains off! Hey, guys, don't diss the hair. You know I get sensitive. Where my maniacs at?! You're too small. Listen up! Double team her! Triple team her if you have to! Do not let her out of your sight! Jett can't save you now! [last lines] What?! Oh no, no, no! Not the hair! [sobs] Goat Tears You're not ready! It's Mane season! (Ha-ha!) You know what's in my cup! I know you think you're all ba-a-ad. But I'mma have you crying like "ba-a-ah"! You just goat here, I'm the Mane Attraction, though I'm the godfather, call me Pony Soprano! I'mma keep it short, just like you Next time we on the court, the smoke's on you! Act tough, but you're scared. I'm in your nightmares! Tonight, when you sleep, you'll be crying goat tears! (Goat, goat tears!) (Oh!) You'll be crying goat tears! (Goat, goat tears!) You'll be crying goat tears! (Goat, goat tears!) Coach Dennis Cooper Welcome to Dennis' World of Pain! [cackles] Modo's my boss! Grizz I mean, what are the rules, y'all? [all with him] Smalls can't ball! Come on, Will. Let's go! Come on, that's a foul. Medium fries did it! Flo Everson I sold this team. The new Thorns are relocating to Sunken City. (Jett: I'm sorry, what? You're joking.) [chuckles] Oh, I never joke about money, honey. I brought Will onto this team to put butts in seats. But I didn't expect for you to actually win? I'm selling while the getting's good. (Jett: Wh-what's gonna happen to the team?) Oh, they're all GONE, sweetie! [chuckles] Cleaning house. And as for you... [chuckles] I made sure the new owners knew all about your... worn out body. And SUPRISE, SUPRISE! They weren't about to waste money on an old, broken down player who's NEVER GONNA WIN A CLAW! Oh, and tell the team to clean out their lockers after y'all lose. Enjoy your early retirement, Jett. [last lines] Ha-ha! I never thought I'd see the day Jett Fillmore passed the ball! (Will and Jett: [calls Adi and Ari] Security!) Hold up, sucker. (Adi: Play time?) (Ari: Should we destroy?) (As payback for Flo selling the Thorns to Sunken City, the twins began to charge) (Adi and Ari: Destroy!) Hold up! DO YOU KNOW WHO I AM?! Others Commuter: Whoever said that, be quiet, please. Louise: Gerald! I'm gonna kick you out if you keep wearing the other teams' jerseys. Elephant: Get lost, Mane, you're a bum. Daskas: Yo, are you guarding me or my shoelaces? Kouyate: I knew jerseys shrunk in the wash, but I didn't know the players did too! Aw. You're gonna end up roadkill, kid. [chuckles] Rosette: [taunting Will] Did I upset the little goat? Kouyate: Run whatever play you want, goat. I'm locking you down. Gerald: I can feel myself getting invested. Who cares? I'm here for it. [rips his Magma shirt off to reveal his Thorns shirt on] Break my heart, kiddo! Gerald: The zebra and the horse are working together. Frank: Atta boy, Will! Mwah! Honey, let's have another dozen kids. [chuckles] Carol: Will done changed the game. Dialogue Jett: No. No way. We call this dude the horse whisper, 'cause he broke that bronco's back, okay? You know what he was telling me earlier? He's got a nickname for Mane. He calls him My Little Pony "My Little Pony." [Will spittakes, crowd laughing] Jett: Don't you? Will: No, I didn't say that. Jett: You do. Will: I did not say that. Jett: And he also said that Mane definitely ain't the GOAT, and his hair wack, too, which I also agree with. Mane: Oh, he's dead! Daryl: All right, that's it. I need to hear it. Will: Hear what? Daryl: [chuckling] Oh, you know what. Will: What? [sighs] Oh, come on. Daryl: Do it. Will: [sighs] Ba. Hannah: [pushes Daryl] With feeling. [Will starts to bleat and so does Daryl. Hannah joins in, as the three yell "baaa", then Will bleats loudly that Archie, Olivia, Lenny and Modo hears him. Then Coach Dennis woke up startled by Will's bleating] Coach Dennis: [gasps] What? [We zoom out at the Sunken City Hotel and we cut back in where we see the bellhop gerbil pushing the baggage cart, as he hears Will's bleating] Bellhop Gerbil: [bleats] [resumes his work] Will: [bleating continues, screams] Jett: [fed up with Will's bleating noise and approached him] What is that noise? [grabs his phone] Give me that! Daryl and Hannah: [bleating continues] Hannah: [she and Daryl stopped bleating as they see Jett Fillmore] Jet... Daryl and Hannah: Fillmore. Daryl: Your head is so green– [Then Jett broke Will's phone, as Will grins nervously at her] Jett: Some of us have a game tomorrow. Keep it down. Director Parrot: Look since you're not gonna say the line, why don't you just give us a little "Baaa". Jett: [grabs his megaphone] Oh, I am not saying that! Jett: So it looks like we're going to the... [notice everyone looking at her, despondently] To the finals. Olivia: Wow. I-I'm done. Team's sold anyway. Archie: Come on, girls. Lenny: I'm not sticking around for this. Modo: Modo as well. [Everyone leaves; Will drops his shoes by Jett] Will: [sighs] You used to be my favorite player. Until today. [leaves] Jett: Hey. Can we talk? Will: I'm busy. Grizz: No, he's not. Will: Come on, come on! G-Give me the ball! Grizz: Nope. Not happening. My ball now. [leaves Will and Jett alone] Jett: I came to say I'm-I'm sorry. Will: Well, you did it. So... Jett: Please, just hear me out. [sighs] I want to win. I wanna hold up that claw and feel what it's like to be one of the greats. When Flo said all that stuff about me being washed up, it just-it-it... it just got in my head! And I couldn't let it go because deep down... deep, deep down... I'm scared she's right. And I just panicked! And I- And I did you all so dirty. And I'm so... sorry. You know, I really thought that if I was holding a claw at the end of the day, it wouldn't matter how I got it. But when you think about it, that's kinda all that matters. Will: [chuckles] That was a really good apology. But you know, you still owe the diner a claw. Jett: It's gonna be hard to win without a team. Will: I might know a few folks. [At Archie's place] Adi: Dad. Ari: Daddy clown! Archie: [happy to see Will and Jett] Oh, thank God. These girls are crazy. Get me out of there. [pushes the two] Quick, start the car! Will: You hear that, Vineland? Looks like the Thorns are staying! Crowd: [chanting] Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Roots run deep! Jett: [bleats] Vineland Thorns: [bleating] Will: [bleats, chuckles] Taglines This kid's got game. You're never too small to dream big.
