Bull Durham - Coaching Strategies for Young Athletes
Skip: [Talking to Crash after another loss]
Hell of a shot. Sorry it got wasted. I don't know what to do with these guys; I beg, I plead, I try to be a nice guy. I'm a nice guy-
Crash:
Scare em.
Skip:
Huh?
Crash:
They're kids. Scare em. That's what I'd do.
Skip: [Realizes something and walks away chuckling'']
Yeah..
Skip:
Everybody into the Shower!! Anybody ain't in the shower in ten seconds gonna get fined a hundred dollars! Larry!
Larry: [Begins counting to ten as all the players run into the shower area]
1 Mississippi, 2 Mississippi, 3 Mississippi, 4 Mississippi, 5 Mississippi, 6 Mississippi, 7 Mississippi, 8 Mississippi, 9 Mississippi, 10 Mississippi.
Skip:
You guys...you lollygag the ball around the infield! You lollygag your way down to first! You lollygag in and out of the dugout! Do you know what that makes you? Larry?!
Larry:
Lollygaggers!
Skip:
Lollygaggers! What's our record, Larry?
Larry:
8-16.
Skip:
8-16...How did we ever win eight?
Larry:
It's a miracle.
Skip:
It's a miracle. This is a simple game: You throw the ball, you hit the ball, you catch the ball. You got it?! Now we have got a twelve day road trip startin tomorrow! Bus leaves 6 in the morning.

Bull Durham - A Past Encounter Between Baseball Players
Larry: [To Skip]
Who are you? Who's he?
Crash:
I'm the player to be named later.
Skip: [Shakes Crash's hand]
Crash Davis? I'm Joe Riggins.
Crash:
And you, Larry Hockett, should recognize me, cause five years ago in the Texas League, you were pitching for El Paso, I was batting clean-up for Shreveport. You hung a curveball on a 0-2 pitch in a 3-2 game in the bottom of the 8th, and I tattooed it over the Michelin Tire sign and beat you 4-3.
Larry: [grins]
Yeah, I remember, I should've thrown a slider. Damn, Crash, how you doing?
Crash:
I'm too old for this shit. Why the hell am I back in A-ball?
Skip:
Cause of Ebby Calvin LaLoosh. Big club's got a hundred grand in him.
Larry:
He's got a million-dollar arm, and a five-cent head.
Skip:
Had a gun on him tonight. The last five pitches he threw were faster than the first five, He has the best young arm I've seen in 30 years. You've been around. You're smart, professional. We want you to mature the kid. We want you to room with him on the road, stay on his case all year. He could go all the way.
Crash:
Where can I go?
Skip:
You can keep going to the ballpark, and keep getting paid to do it. Beats the hell out of working at Sears.
Larry:
Sears sucks, Crash. I worked there once, sold Lady Kenmores. Nasty. Nasty business.
Skip:
And even if it is the Carolina League, it's a chance to play every day.
Crash:
You don't want a ballplayer; you want a stable pony.
Skip:
Nah.
Crash: [pause]
Well, my Triple-A contract gets bought out so I can hold some flavor-of-the-month's dick in the bus leagues, is that it? Well, fuck this fucking game! I quit, all right? I fucking quit.
Crash:
Who we play tomorrow?
Skip:
Winston-Salem. Batting practice at 11:30.

Let me ask you a question: what is the appeal of ]? I mean, the man's not funny. I know funny, and he's not funny. Don't get me wrong, he seems like a nice guy, but my father's a nice guy and he's not funny either! Joey Bishop. I wish someone would explain this one to me.
