A Dangerous Encounter with Otherworldly Creatures
Peter Keyes
Goddamn, Harrigan! Don't you show up in the damnedest places? Come here, Lieutenant. I got something you might find interesting
Lieutenant Mike Harrigan
What is this?
Keyes
How many times do I have to tell you? You don't know what you're dealing with! There's your killer. Wonderful, isn't it? Pheromone signature left by his body. These are scent molecules. Punch up three. Ten years ago, one of his kind stalked and eliminated an elite ]. There were two survivors. They indicated that when trapped, the creature activated a self-destruct device that destroyed enough rain forest to cover 300 city blocks. Remarkable weaponry. That's right, Lieutenant. Other-world life-forms.
[points to ghostly image on pheromone sensor display; to tech; [Predator (film)|Special Forces crew in central America]
Harrigan
Huh?
Keyes
A fucking alien. Iwo Jima, Cambodia, Beirut. Drawn by heat and conflict. He's on safari. Lions. The tigers. The bears. Oh, my!
Harrigan
Trophies. That's the game, isn't it, Keyes?
Keyes
You're the lion. This is his jungle.

The Mindset of a Death Racer
Baltimore Bob
Death Race is for sociopathic killers. You gotta have gravel in your guts. You have to live for the smell of motor oil and high octane fuel. You gotta love the sound of rubber on asphalt, and the taste of blood in your mouth. And when you go to sleep at night, I mean that deep REM sleep, the sound of bullets whizzing past your head should give you comfort.

Manager Confronts Pitcher During Game
Ranch Wilder
With another example of his infamous temper, manager George Knox calls time out. He is going to have a word with his pitcher, Frank Gates.
[on the radio]
Roger
I don't think it's going to be a happy word.
Ranch
And it looks like Knox is going to take Gates out. Gates doesn't look too, pleased about this.
George Knox
Give me the ball.
Frank Gates
It ain't my fault, you need a new outfield.
George Knox
You're out of here, GIVE ME THE BALL!!!
[louder]
Frank Gates
Do you want the ball? Well, here you go. GO GET IT! Do you want my glove? WELL, GO GET IT. .
[starts to hand it over; throws it aside and starts to hand his glove over; throws it as well]

Gates has thrown his ball and glove into the stands!
[on the radio]
George Knox
Oh, Go on, get out of here, you're finished Gates.
[lunges at Gates; they begin fighting with each other]
Ranch Wilder
And now Knox has attacked his own pitcher!
[on the radio]
Players
Uh-oh.
Ranch
This is outrageous! George Knox is fighting off his own players.

Perspective on Time and Human Existence
Simon
You ever been to the Grand Canyon? Its pretty, but that's not the thing of it. You can sit on the edge of that big ol thing and those rocks... the cliffs and rocks are so old... it took so long for that thing to get like that... and it ain't done either! It happens right there while your watching it. Its happening right now as we are sitting here in this ugly town. When you sit on the edge of that thing, you realize what a joke we people really are... what big heads we have thinking that what we do is gonna matter all that much... thinking that our time here means diddly to those rocks. Just a split second we have been here, the whole lot of us. That's a piece of time so small to even get a name. Those rocks are laughing at me right now, me and my worries... Yeah, its real humorous, that Grand Canyon. It's laughing at me right now. You know what I felt like? I felt like a gnat that lands on the ass of a cow chewing his cud on the side of the road that you drive by doing 70 mph.

Determining the Workforce for Cotton Picking
Edna Spalding
We'll start right now!
Mr. Will
Well, you got 30 acres to pick.
Edna Spalding
Frank and Possum can help.
Mr. Will
Well, that's not going to be nearly enough.
Edna Spalding
Then, I'll pick 24 hours a day.
Moze
Did you ever pick cotton? After an hour, the hulls start cuttin your fingers. Then by noon both of your hands is bleedin'. And later on, your fingers start to swell. And after a little more time, they ain't no feelin in your hands whatsoever. And I ain't even speakin about what it does to your knees and I ain't even talkin about what it does to your back. Now, we can't do it. Now, get that through your head. Once and for all, we can't do it. Now, you best stop thinkin about it before you end up killin yourself!
Edna Spalding
Now you listen to me. If we lose this place, then you're goin back to beggin for every single meal. Mr. Will, they're gonna put you in a state home. And I'm gonna lose what's left of my family. I'm not gonna let that happen. I don't care what it takes. I don't care if it kills me. I don't care if it kills you. I'm not gonna give up. And if the two of you do, you can go straight to Hell!

A Favor Amidst Uncertainty and Power Dynamics
Simon
I've gotta ask you for a favor. Let me go my way here. This truck's my responsibility, and now that the car's hooked up to it, it's my responsibility too.
Rocstar
Do you think I'm stupid? Just answer that question first.
Simon
Look, I don't know nothing about you; you don't know nothing about me. I don't know if you're stupid, or some kind of genius. All I know is that I need to get out of here, and you got the gun. So I'm asking you, for the second time, let me go my way here.
Rocstar
I'm gonna grant you that favor, and I'm gonna expect you to remember it if we ever meet again. But tell me this, are you asking me as a sign of respect, or are you asking because I've got the gun?
Simon
Man, the world ain't supposed to work like this. I mean, maybe you don't know that yet. I'm supposed to be able to do my job without having to ask you if I can. That dude is supposed to be able to wait with his car without you ripping him off. Everything is supposed to be different than it is.
Rocstar
So what's your answer?
Simon
You ain't got the gun, we ain't having this conversation.
Rocstar
That's what I thought: no gun, no respect. That's why I always got the gun.

Belief in Angels and Acceptance in Sports
Maggie
Excuse me. I'd, uh, I'd like to say something on behalf of George Knox.
[Stands Up]
Hank Murphy
Uh, what's your name? What's your business here?
Maggie
My name is Maggie Nelson. I take care of foster kids. One of these boys is, uh, the child who can see angels. He could stand up right now and tell you exactly what's happened, and I know you'd just laugh at him. But when a professional football player drops to one knee to thank God after making a touchdown, nobody laughs at that. Or when a pitcher crosses himself before going to the mound, nobody laughs at that either. Seems like you're saying it's okay to believe in God, but it's not okay to believe in angels. Now, I thought they were on the same team.
Hank Murphy
Is it your belief, ma'am that, uh, angels play baseball?
Maggie
Since the all-star break, yes.
Maggie
We all need somebody to watch out for us. Every kid I have ever taken care of has been looking for someone to love: an angel. You've got to have faith. You've got to believe. You've got to look inside yourself. The footprints of an angel are love. And where there is love, miraculous things can happen. I've seen it.
[sits]
Mel Clark
I'd also like to say something. I don't know if there are angels out there, other than the twenty-five of us in uniform. But I know, there is one thing I won't do. I won't play for anyone but George Knox. I believe in him.
[standing]
Triscuitt Messmer
That goes for me too.
[stands]
George Knox
Thank you...all of you.
[visibly moved and astonished]
Hank Murphy
Print what you want. George Knox is the manager of the ballclub. And if there are any angels out there, I sure hope they're on our side.
[all present cheer]

Struggles of a Losing Baseball Team
Mapel
We are the boys of summer, and it's a big bummer. No matter who we play, we give the game away. Cause we can't win. That would be a sin. We even lose the games before they begin--
[singing while taking off his baseball team jersey]
George Knox
SAVE IT, MAPEL!
Players
Oh!
Triscuitt Messmer
Bummer.
George Knox
One more loss! One more loss which could've been a win! And you call yourselves "professionals"! I have never ever seen a worst group of 25 players! You don't think as a team, you don't play as a team, you don't even lose as a team! You all got your heads so far up your butts, you can't even see the light of day! One more loss and I'll ... and I'll do this ...to each and every one of you!!

George Knox

Fundamentals!? In the middle of the season!?
Whitt Bass
I thought the game had started at 1?

George Knox
It does start at 1, and you're a jackass!
Whitt Bass
No, I'm a pitcher.
[after speaking to George Knox who angrily leaves the locker room while making some angry groaning and moaning, grunting sounds to himself while putting both of his hands above his head]

José Martinez

Oh!

Facing the Past and Future Together
George Knox
You know Roger, when I was growing up I never saw very much of my Dad. He couldn't take care of himself. So taking care of me and my brothers was out of the question. I'm not sure the pain that caused ever goes away. But I am sure you can't go through life thinking everyone you meet will one day let you down. Because if you do, a very bad thing will happen. You'll end up like me. I'm going inside.
J.P.
