Coach
What the hell are you?
Lucas
Excuse me?
Coach
Who suited you up?
Lucas
Well, I'd like to speak to you about that. This equipment just doesn't fit.
Coach
No, that's not the problem. It's you that don't fit. Now go turn it in.
Lucas
Excuse me. I can run really fast when I concentrate.
Coach
I said turn it in. Now, get off the field. All right, everybody inside for chalk talk! Shower up, first. Let's go, go, go, go, go, go!
[yells to the other players]
Lucas
You're making a big mistake. I'll be good at this. I can lower my center of gravity. See? Look. See? And my size, I gotta run fast. If they catch me, I'm dead.
[Lucas does a few little spins left and right]
Coach
Just, listen, little buddy. We got our first game this Saturday against Rockford and I don't have time to dick around with you.
Lucas
Well, I'm afraid... you'll have to, sir... dick around with me. The Supreme Court, by virtue of the sexual discrimination act says, that if anyone tries out for a team sport has to be given the same chance as everyone else. Now, if you wish to cut me based on my performance, that's your right, but I'll take you to court if you try it before.
Coach
What's this shit?
Lucas
I looked it up. My family's in law.

What the hell are you doing?
Lucas
I'm ready to go in. I can run fast. I can win this game.
Coach
Just get out of here, will you?
Lucas
Look, just give me one chance. One play.

Listen to me...

Put me in, I'll never come back, I swear. Just let me play today. You have nothing to lose, just let me in.
Coach
Hear me good, you pissant, because I'm only going to tell you one more time.
Lucas
Don't you call me that. Don't you call me a pissant, you dumb, fucking jock.
Coach
What'd you say?
Lucas
You heard me, pencil-brain. I mean, who are we kidding here, who is the pissant? The second-rate coach of a third rate team or me?

I mean your last name!

Coach
You're right, Bly. I've got nothing to lose by sending you in. Karger out! Bly in!
