This story line is SO depressing! Oh, wait! We need more puns, right? (Depression IS a serious problems nowadays, joking aside, and it needs to be brought out in the open.)
In all reality , Here’s what we’re going to do Mike, says Gil. We’re going to go see Bobby Howry, that’s right that Bobby Howry . He’s going to get you some pills that will get rid of your depression . These pills might look and taste like Skittles but take them and good bye depression .
P4- GilPa: It’s high school basketball! It’s the Valley Conference! It ain’t intramurals! If you’re a little bummed out, go play intramurals. Go play intramurals brother.
This is getting lame. I’ve never seen a place where so many kids with problems seem to have no parents or parents that don’t care enough to help their own kids, causing said kid to go running to Gil for help.
The reality is Gil is more real life than fantasy. Parents who never see their kids during the week are common [I work with a number of teachers from all grade levels at my seasonal beach job] parents who work hours away from home leave before the kids are up and get home after they are in bed; single parent households where the parent is working a full time job followed by a part time one to keep the heat on and food on the table; parents who are so into their addictions that they cannot function like parents and the child winds up the caregiver. The old June and Ward Cleaver raising the Beav and Wally together is more a rarity in today’s world than it is a reality. so a constant caring adult presence such as a coach or educator might be the ONLY person to whom the child can go for help and an interested listening ear.

Now that you’ve said that out loud, you’ll be in street clothes for the next five games.

P1, Now if he’d only open up a book he might not be flunking off the team and the baseball team just so he can come back to Milford again next year.
P2, It’s these damned freckles, Coach. Some days I have them and some days I don’t!
P3, Take a nice hot, soapy shower!

But didn’t he put the hotline phone number in his cell when Gil gave it out? That should have solved everything!
And I am very, very disappointed with today’s artwork. Not even one giant hand!

He’s going to take him to Madam Jeannie’s Cat House. The girls will snap his depression in 2 minutes. Of course, he won’t care about sports anymore.
