Kicking & Screaming - New Players Join the Team
Phil:
Tigers! Huddle up.
Ditka:
Come on, get in here.
Phil:
I know we're on a five-game losing streak but I've got good news. Umberto!
Phil: [[Italy]
We've got two new players joining the team. Guys; Gian Piero and Massimo. Now these boys are from ] so they don't speak English that well. We're all gonna help them learn. They're apprentice butchers.
Mark Avery:
Could the blacksmiths and candlestick makers not make it?
Ditka:
Shut up.
Umberto: [making the two boys recite before leaving]
I come back and pick-up 5:00. Buon divertimento. Prima la carne.
Gian Piero and Massimo:
Prima la carne.
Phil:
What?
Umberto:
Meat first!
Phil:
Meat first! Yes, we love meat!
Umberto: [In Italian]
Bye! ("Ciao!")
Massimo and Gian Piero: [In Italian]
Bye, uncle! ("Ciao, Zio")

Kicking & Screaming - Bratwurst Preparation and Family Involvement
Ditka:
Umberto!
Umberto: [showing him the wrapped bratwurst]
Hey, coach! Don't you worry I got your bratwurst all ready! Huh?
Ditka:
Beautiful, grazie. Are your nephews working today?
Umberto:
Uh, si, in the back.
Ditka: [to Phil]
Go back there, take a look at these guys.
Ditka: [To Phil]
These kids are the right age, and they live in the district. Why not?
Phil: [to Umberto]
Excuse me, mister, your two nephews, would they be interested in playing soccer?
Umberto:
Massimo e Gian Piero? No, they not play soccer. They come here to apprentice me. They have too much to learn. English, meat, too much.
Phil:
So, they don't play soccer at all?
Massimo: [In Italian]
Uncle, why do they want? ("Zio, ma che vuoi?")
Umberto: [In Italian]
They want you to play soccer. ("Eh, giocare a calcio.")
Gian Piero: [In Italian]
Really! Let us play! ("Davvero! Facci giocare!")
Umberto:
Don't look like that to me, please!
Massimo and Gian Piero: [Begging; In Italian]
Uncle please! Uncle Umberto! ("Per favore, Zio! Zio Umberto!")
Umberto: [In Italian]
No, be quiet. ("No, state zitti")
Phil:
They play with American kids, they pick up English. A lot of famous athletes have learned English through sports; Sammy Sosa, Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, uh.. Leon Spinks, Elvis Costello, Björn Borg, Mark Spitz.
Ditka:
Let the kids have some fun, huh?
Umberto:
Okay! Okay!
Phil:
Great!
Umberto:
But remember; meat first, then soccer!
Ditka: [to Phil]
I told ya, every great thing in life starts with a Brat.
