I need more information.
Hendrick
Flowers are never overkill. Also, why are you asking Knox instead of me?
Knox
Because I’m a betterboyfriend, duh.
Hendrick
I’m the only one that’s actually married, so I don’t think that line of logic works.
Me
You’re both pretty. Now stop fighting and help me.
Knox
Not knowing any of the details, I say Henny’s probably right.
Hendrick
See? Should have just asked me.
Me
Thank you.
Hendrick
Who’s the girl?
Archer
I’ll give you one clue: “her eyes are like a four-leaf clover” ??
Knox
The one that yelled at you? Ha! Yeah, definitely flowers. But no roses, those things have thorns and if she throws them at you, it could hurt.
Me
So noted. Also, Arch ??
Flynn
Bringing flowers to a day date feels a little desperate, bro.
“Not bad,” Coach says, pacing in front of us. “Not bad at all.”
He never says anything is good so “not bad” feels like high praise.
“Rams tomorrow. Their defense is one of the best in the league and they’re still pissed we knocked them out of the playoffs last year.”
Tripp says, “Hell yeah, we did.”
“Not bad isn’t going to cut it.” Coach stops and looks at us in a slow scan so that his serious stare bleeds into each of us.
