(horn honks)
- Look, whoever you're honking for, you got the wrong house.
(Jack): "Dear Laura, it's me, Shoresy.
I'm speaking to you through this pimple farmer
for two reasons. One, I'm busy doing
what I have to do to get a girl like you.
And two, I wanna show this zit face what it takes
to get a girl like you.
I'm sure you wish it was somebody better looking
reading this, but if you can believe it,
he's the least ugly of the four.
Mason, the guy in the truck, is the most ugly."
- Fuck sakes. - And ugliest of the four,
"four" is spelled "f-o-r."
"You asked me to fuck off for the summer
and figure out if I'm sure about you and about us.
It's been a long summer of reflection and consideration.
But mostly pullin' on it.
More than I want to admit.
Laura, much more of this and I'm gonna pull that thing
right off.
I've also used this time
to finally read "The Five Languages of Love"
and I'll tell ya this, that book is for broads.
The five languages of love are words of affirmation,
quality time, physical touch,
acts of service, and receiving gifts.
224 pages for five things any dumb fuck is doing
for their sweetie, without even thinking about it,
if they're really into them.
That's what I've been doing while you deny my affection.
Puttin' in the work."
"Deny" is spelled "d-e-n-y-e."
(Shoresy panting)
(Laura): What are you doin'?
- Timed it almost perfectly, bud.
- Want me to keep reading? - Shut the fuck up, Jack.
- Okay, but I-- - No, just shut the fuck up.
- What are you doing? - What it takes!
- What is wrong with you?
- I asked you what I had to do to get ya.
And you said... - Run a marathon.
I did? - I fuckin' knew it.
- A whole one? - 42 kilometres, smart ass.
You want a noogie? - You ran a marathon?
(Shoresy): Yeah! - You ran a marathon.
- Yeah! - You ran a marathon?
- Well, I fuckin' walked a bit,
like up that super steep hill by the water tower.
I'm not fuckin' Terry Fox. - You're crazy.
- Yeah, and I had tens cat callin' me
from convertibles the entire time.
You better get your act together.
- I don't even remember saying...
Run a marathon.
- Well, I remember everything you say.
- Do ya? (Shoresy): Try me.
- When's my kid's birthday? - April 9.
When's Big Sexy's? - What's my death row meal?
- Crinkle cut fries. What's mine?
- Box of Timbits. What's my pet peeve?
- People who go like this out their car window.
What's mine? - Commercials that make you cry.
- What superpower would I want? - To breathe underwater. Me?
- To heal people.
Jack, finish the fuckin' letter.
- "Today I ran a marathon.
Even though you probably don't remember telling me to.
I'll run another one tomorrow if you want.
I'll run another one right now.
Tell me what to do and I'll do it,
'cause this is the summer I close on Laura Mohr."
(Laura laughs)
- All right, Shoresy, let's have a sleepover.

- Blueberry Festival Dance on Saturday, b'ys.
- Big Saturday night on deck here, now!
- Think they'll serve blueberries?
- Wait 'til they see the boys rippin' it up.
Marcia Mercier won't know what hit her.
- Who? - Marissa Mercier.
- Maria. - What?
- Maria Mercier. - Wait 'til Miriam Mercier
sees the boys on the D-floor.
- Hey, can I just say, you know, I really appreciate--
- Shut up. What are you doing? - Oh, look at you.
- Fuck, everything's goin' so great.
Why you gotta be so fuckin' emotional?
- Sorry. Geez. - If you're gonna be soft,
you're not gonna get a girl like Mariana Mercier.
- Maria. - Marina Mercier's gonna be
looking at the Bulldogs anyway.
- Well, that's true. Martina's probably
gonna be looking at Dolo. Let's be honest, here.
Should be ready for that. - Maria.
- Don't think ya have to worry about her looking
at Michaels, though. - Oh, thanks, Shoresy.
- Also, Hitch doesn't really strike me
as Miranda Mercier's type.
- The odds aren't good, but the goods are odd.
- Dolo's not as good a dancer as me,
but he's much better looking, so don't be surprised
if he's gettin' the eyes from Margarita Mercier.
- We're gonna look like idiots.
- That's the point! (Bulldogs yelling)
You wanna look like an idiot.
(overlapping chatter)
Don't you wish these were your Blueberry Buddies, hey?
Bet you'd love to be Blueberry Buddies with them.
- Shut up. - We've come to tell you
in person. - Ohh, what's up, Nat?
- Shut the fuck up, Michaels.
- Goody, Dolo, Hitch, you're in.
- You're in. - Fer what?
(Miig and Ziig): Weird Sudbury.
- Yes, b'y. - Let's get good and weird,
boys. - When is it?
- Saturday.
(Nat): Fuck you, Shoresy.
- Fuck you!
- Shut the door. - Let's everybody
just calm down. - She said shut the door.
(mocks): She said shut the door. - What're you gonna do?
- When? - Now!
- What? - You told the--
(Shoresy): Huh? - You told
the Blueberry Buddies you'd go to the dance with them.
- Yeah. - As I understand it,
you've prepared a dance with them?
- Yeah. - I'd call it more
of a spectacle. - It's a car crash.
- And now we've learned that the dance is the same night
as Weird Sudbury, whatever that is.
- Good and weird.
- Yeah, so. - So, what are you gonna do?
- Go to the dance. - All of you?
- No. (Miig and Ziig): Yes.
- No. Just me and Michaels. - No one cares about Michaels.
- I know. I'd rather go by myself.
- The kids don't look up to him
the same way they look up to you guys.
- I know! He's almost like... negative one.
- What sort of parting message is this for them?
You spent the summer working with them,
building a relationship. You've planned this big dance.
(Miig): Spectacle. (Ziig): Multi-car pile up.
- You say you'll be there for them,
then three of you bail when something better comes along?
They're your guys. You have to be there for your guys.
(Ziig): The hockey world looks out for each other.
- Bulldog hockey, baby.
- If this is who the Bulldogs are then--
- Okay, relax! Ho-ly!
- Talk to them.
- You're good at this, Shoresy.
- You should coach.
(Shoresy): All right, so everybody listen up here now.
Accountability. - Not a chance, me son.
- Huh? - We're going to the party, bud.
- Guys. (Shoresy): Shut the fuck up, Michaels.
- You have to?
- Are they draggin' you there by the short and curlies?
(Shoresy): Huh? - Are they supposed to be curly?
- I thought the most thrilled I'd ever be to hear me name
called was at the NHL draft.
First round, no less.
How wrong I was.
The most thrilled I ever was to hear me named called was at--
- Weird Sudbury. We get it. What is it anyway?
(all): Good and weird. (Shoresy): Well, boys...
Boys'll be boys, boys. Like--
- Are you talkin' about the boys or the b'ys?
- The boys.
- Look Nat said it herself, you're champions.
- He means the b'ys proper.
- Now I'm all for enjoying everything
that comes along with that.
- But she also said...
- There is a reasonable amount of time
to celebrate something like this,
and I think that you've surpassed it.
- And at this point, yeah, so,
I agree with her.
Summer's pretty much over.
- Say we hit our tubing quota.
- Oh, tubing's so sick.
(overlapping chatter)
- And this cup celebration's been pretty sick, too.
(Goody): Phenomenal. - But like...
- It's selfish now. - Whoa, whoa, whoa.
- Look, hockey players hold each other accountable.
It's what we do. If you're fuckin' up,
you're gonna hear about it. - Let's hear it, b'y.
- You bailed on the Jims,
now you wanna bail on the Blueberry Buddies.
Somewhere along the line,
this stopped being about the team.
- It's not hockey, boys. - It's not about the Bulldogs
anymore. It's only about you.
- Is this 'cause we went to the party without Michaels?
- No. - Let's just double click--
- Shut the fuck up, Michaels. That's not what it's about.
- Because if it was anybody else,
we woulda sat it out with you. - It's only Michaels.
- Even Fish. - It's only Michaels?
- Don't worry about it. - Hold on, if it's only
Michaels, then why did you sit it out, Shoresy?
- I dunno, I'm still wrestling with that a little bit.
- Let's just zoom in on that-- - Michaels, shut the fuck up!
- Maybe we could do both. - 7pm to 7am, old man.
- It's a bad look for the team if you bail.
- It's a bad look for the Bulldogs.
- It's up to you.
What's more important?
You or the team?
- Nice, Shoresy.
- You're good at this, Shoresy. You should coach.
But the b'ys ain't missin' Weird Sudbury.
(whistle screeches)
(Shoresy): All right, get on the bench.
Take your buckets off.
Anytime now.
All right, first off, little stick tap for Jack
for putting himself out there to get a girl,
and being rewarded with a follow back
on some silly social media site.
(sticks tapping)
All right, it's your last skate with the Bulldogs.
National Champs. - Of senior whale shit hockey.
- Let's see your banner in the rafters.
All right, we know you're all off to camp here pretty quick.
They're gonna be all over you with toxic masculinity
and anti-femiminity.
- Anti-femininity. - Boys, let's tell 'em
what's really important. - Make a good first impression
and always leave a lasting one. - Oh, my God.
- Hittin' them with the recycled material,
are ya, Goody, b'y? - Yep.
- You're real proud of yourself with that one, eh?
- It's a good one. - We know you read it
on the wall at fuckin' IKEA or somethin'.
- No, I didn't. - Saw it on a pillow
at a fuckin' bed and breakfast. (Goody): No, I didn't.
(Shoresy): Hitch. - Boys, when you're on the ice,
there's no room for chit-chattin' with
the other team. Don't be smilin' at each other off the draws,
and all that. Say hello after the game if you wants,
but it's all business on the ice.
Your loyalty is to your team. - Jo-Dolo.
- Michaels. - Look out for each other
in the wild, boys. Check in.
Make sure the boys are doing okay. Have a FaceTime,
if you can. You never know when someone needs it.
- And for fuck's sake, protect yourselves out there.
As a hockey player, you've got your stick and your elbow.
Your opponent has their neck and their nuts.
If they come anywhere near ya,
they get your stick and your elbow in their neck
or their nuts. Yeah, I know what you're thinkin'.
I've never been elbowed in the nuts before.
Neither had the no less than 500 dudes I've done it to.
Let's fuckin' go.
- I think we'll all have a Jim or two on our team.
- Three, if we're lucky. - Oh, did you guys
square up with Jim? - Yes, b'y?
- And Jim? - The Jims are unbelievable.
(energetic music)
- All right, you're all off to camp real quick here now.
When you get there, what are you gonna be?
- The best player on the ice. - You?
- Yeah. - No, you won't be,
you can't skate. - I can skate.
- Yeah, like you got 'em on the wrong fuckin' feet.
- No, I don't. - You know what,
you're supposed to stay low to the ground when you skate,
eh? You fuckin' bob up and down like a figure skater.
- Skate good enough to get drafted to the O.
- Fuckin' skates like a bird. - What?
- Yeah, you skate like one of those birds that fuckin'
bobs when they walk. That's fuckin' walkin' around
like, peckin' shit. What are those called? Emus?
- I don't know. I don't know what the fuck
you're talking about. - Alpacas?
- Alpacas are more like camels. - Well, I know
they're fuckin' mammals, idiot. - I said camels.
- All right, raise your hand
if you think Carter's an ugly skater?
- Fuck you, Shoresy.
- Now let's point to the guy that's a fuckin' liar.
- What was the question? - All right, you're all
going off to camp here. When you get there,
what are you going to be?
- The highest scoring defenceman.
- Come on. - What?
- You? (Mason): Yeah.
- Well, you better hope there isn't an egg
between you and the net. - Why would there be--
- He means your shot couldn't break an egg.
- Better hope there isn't a house of cards in the way
or the puck's not gettin' through.
- Fuck you, Shoresy. - Better hope there isn't
a little popsicle stick fence
held together by fuckin' paste.
(Lakers giggle) - Shut up.
- You can't skate. You can't shoot. You're ugly.
And he's so fuckin' awkward. Oh, my God.
But you're lucky, 'cause none of that really matters.
What matters is effort. Work ethic.
So, when you get to camp, what are you going to be?
(all): The hardest worker out there.
- That's right, the hardest worker out there. Say it again.
(all): The hardest worker out there.
- That's right. Say it again.
(all): The hardest worker out there.
- Hell yeah, fuck yeah.
(all): Hell yeah, fuck yeah.
- That's what matters.
That's what gets you remembered. You understand?
You think anyone's gonna be thinking about Jack's
big forehead when they see a guy
who will play an entire period if you need him to?
You think anyone's gonna be thinking about Mason's back zits
when they see a guy who's willing to push through
the pain? And hey!
Don't forget where you come from.
You're from the North. You're from Sudbury.
We ain't pretty, and we get dirty.
Make fuckin' sure when they see your number out there,
they see your hometown in the program and they say,
"Bingo. Of course."
You're from the home of the smokestacks.
You're from the home of the mines.
And you're from the home of the Sudbury
Blueberry Bulldogs, bitch.

- I'm Jory Jordan with the Sudbury Kids Sport Report
and we are back with breaking news.
After failing on TV, like everyone knew he would,
number 69 Shore crawls back to the armpit of Ontario
to try the only thing left when you can't do, teach.
Shoresy, with nowhere to go but down, I guess I'm wondering,
what's up?
Was it love of the game that brought you back
or the fact that you have nothing else going for you
personally or professionally?
With the Bulldogs' recent success, many say a coaching
shake-up's as welcome as hemorrhoids at a pool party.
Your thoughts?
Shifting gears, here, as far as vices go,
what most drew you to chewing tobacco,
the sucking or the spitting?
Many have questioned Nat's decision to hand the team
over to a man with the emotional intelligence of a poopy baby,
and the common sense of a modern liberal.
I'm curious, are you sleeping with her? And if so,
what's that like?
I'm quite serious as it's the only
logical explanation here. Is the sex ten outta ten
as most would assume, or does it eclipse total perfection
like I've been speculating on, for years,
both publicly and privately?
Do you take a full Cialis for something like that,
or can you get by with just a half?
Would you say it was more awkward or disappointing
when she screamed out my name instead of yours?
Some final thoughts here, Shoresy. You've always been
dumb and ugly. At your age, it won't be long until
you're dumb, ugly, and fat. Care to comment?
With sea levels constantly rising,
is it comforting to watch your hairline
constantly receding? Last one here, Shoresy,
and we'll get you on your way. As a man lacking any sort
of real relationship in his life, most would assume
it's because you're stupid. I think it's because
you're boring. Who's right here?
- Hey, go Bulldogs!
Where are we goin' drinkin' with the cup tonight, boys? Woo!
(Nat): So, how does it feel?
- Like the itch has been scratched.
- It ain't the Bulldogs without you, man.
Can you imagine us playing this season without you being there?
- I'da been there. - In what capacity?
- Just pop-in shower with the boys.
- When I said find a place to put your love,
I didn't mean literally. - Just have a couple
giggles and go. - Don't fight me so much
next time.
- Thanks for helping me get there.
- Big night. Blueberry Festival Dance.
- Don't worry, we'll behave for ya.
- You know, I realized something.
I have been down your throats
all summer about this team's reputation.
- Down our throats? - I know.
- Huh? - I know!
- You've been straight up our dumpers.
