Talia: I just spoke to Nick. He was tricked. The tape was edited. He didn't take a bribe. It just sounds that way.
Tony: Well, what does your audio expert say
Talia: I forgot to tell you. It's definitely Nick's voice. And he said the tape was definitely edited.
Tony: But I don't get it. Who's behind this
Talia: One of Nick's teammates, Dean Bishop. He resents being in Nick's shadow. He wants to be the only star on the team.

Patty: Her brother Dean, the soccer player, works out here, though. I remember seeing him yesterday, around lunchtime. Maybe you could speak to him.
Amy: Actually, I'd rather avoid seeing him. It's a little complicated between him and me, if you know what I mean.

Talia: I was going to check it after I sat down but too much was going on. Tony: Did you press \"play\" and \"record\" together
Talia: I don’t know! I thought I did! The tape was moving. Tony: You probably just pressed \"play\". Talia: This is a disaster.

Talia: Well, I wish it were mine. I wish I were that optimistic. So, guess I’ll quit my job. Amy can take my place. She’ll be a good researcher.
Nick: Talia, take it easy. You’re overreacting. Things really aren’t so bad. Talia: Yes, they are, Nick. They’re terrible. And the most terrible part of all of this is that I let you down.
Nick: Have I ever told you about my grandmother Talia: No, I don’t think so. 14
Nick: Well, my grandmother is a very wise woman. She always told me to tell the truth. She always said the truth would win out. Unit 10 Script 1

Jackie: Then, posing as this woman from Kicks, I invited Nick to come to my office to discuss an endorsement Talia: And did he
Jackie: Well, I didn't really have an office, you know. So I met him in the Cower Building lobby and took him to lunch. I recorded the whole conversation. Dean took over from there. He doctored the tape to make it sound like Nick had accepted a bribe. Talia: Why did you decide to tell the truth now
Jackie: Dean promised to introduce me to some big shot movie director, and I believed him. Well, I just found out that Dean had been lying the whole time. Talia: I see.
Jackie: Unbelievable! My own brother had been using me. If I had known, I would never have gone along with him. I should have known better. I should never have 16
trusted him. Unit 11 Script 1
Nick: Dean! And Coach! You’re just the two people I wanted to see.
Dean: Nick! Sorry, man, tough break. But you know what they say, “Don’t do the crime if you can’t do the time.”
Nick: Dean, that’s the smartest thing I’ve ever heard you say. Coach: Nick, are you going to be OK
Nick: You bet! I’ve got something I want to show you both.
Jackie: My brother heard that Nick had gotten rid of his agent. So I went and offered fifty thousand dollars to endorse a pair of shoes. I was very convincing, if I must say so myself. Anyway, Nick agreed and I got it all on tape. Of course, The tape had to be edited to make it sound like Nick was accepting a bribe, but Dean took care of that. Dean: That lying…
Nick: Dean, I’d keep quiet if I were you. Jackie gave us hard evidence. It turns out my conversation with her was not the only one she recorded. Dean: This is crazy!
Coach: I don’t know what to say. I’m so sorry You had to go through all of this. Nick: Thanks, Coach.
Coach: Well, I think this is all over now. We’ll be starting practice in an hour – you’ll be there, right
