Rollin: [as Jimmy walks in on the town meeting that determines Coach Dale's fate] What can I do for you, Jimmy?

Jimmy Chitwood: I got something to say.

Rollin: All right, you better say what you've got to say.

Jimmy Chitwood: [Crowd buzzes; Crowd cheers.] I don't know if it'll make any change, but I figured it's time for me to start playing ball.

George: [above crowd noise, pointing to Dale] I told you, once we got rid of him!

Jimmy Chitwood: [Crowd gasps.] But, there's just one thing... I play, Coach stays. He goes, I go.

George: Uhhh, the coach is ... dismissed by a vote of 68 to 45...

Opal Fleener: [jumping to her feet] I think we should vote again!

Rollin: [majority of crowd says 'Aye'; a handful say 'nay', tears up George's tally sheet with a grin; George shakes head; Norman is swarmed by well-wishers] All those in favor of the coach staying, say Aye all opposed... ...Coach stays!

Opal Fleener: [to Coach Dale] Sun don't shine on the same dog's ass every day, but, mister you ain't seen a ray of light since you got here.
