Jake Does that mean you're not going?

Finnegan I didn't say that.

Beverly It's kind of beautiful, isn't it?

Jake What?

Beverly That we get to feel passion in this world, you know about anything.

Dale Douglas This ain't high school, man. This is a new level. You have not earned teammate status yet...And until you do, you're nobody.

Jay I'm too fuckin philosophical for this shit!

Charlie Willoughby We came for a good time, not for a long time.

Jake The gods intend ] to suffer, right?

Jake Well, my point was that they'd actually blessed him with something to focus on, something that he could potentially find meaning in. It's a gift to be striving at all, even if it looks futile to others. I mean, yeah, it's ridiculous to roll a boulder up a mountain over and over and over again, but so is everything else in life.

Willoughby God. Listen to this song. Listen to this progression here, okay? Listen to how it goes up. It steps up from one moment to another and leads you there, just...Oh, yes. I mean, look, you can play an E pentatonic scale at 100 miles an hour till somebody's ears burn off, you can learn that, right? But finding the tangents within the framework, therein lies the artistry, man. You know, a fucking bunch of dudes jump around on stage, jerking each other off, you know, in spandex, isn't fucking music.

Plummer I don't know, man. I kinda like ].

Willoughby Well, yeah, Plum, you do. And you know why you do? Because corporate America is shoving something down your throat and making you believe it, because that's what they want you to believe. I mean, guys, it's about finding out who you are in the space in-between the notes that they're offering you. I mean, you gotta tune in, man. You gotta tune in. You know, and don't be afraid to let the experience find you. It's like ] says, man, "The beauty of a living thing isn't about the atoms that go into it, it's how those atoms are put together." I mean, language, fucking language. What is language? Language is a construct, man. You know? And we used to be telepathic. Humans were telepathic, man. We could just... Right here. You know? The fucking ] knew it, man. The ] fucking knew it. And you think the way things are going now that we're ever gonna get that back? Fucking no. No. It's about finding out who you are. You gotta tune in, man. You guys want to try a little telepathic stuff?

Dale Let's do it.

Willoughby Okay, what am I thinking about?

Dale Baseball

Plummer Having a tail.

Jake Cereal.

Willoughby I was thinking about sharks.

Plummer Sharks have tails.

Willoughby Good point, that's a good point.

Coma I wish I had a tail. Fuck, that'd be awesome.

Roper We have a little tradition welcoming the new guys.

Everyone Freshman batting practice!

Plummer Welcome to the big time, boys.

Finnegan That just went from cute to restraining order.

Jake Hey, have you noticed everything around here's a competition, huh? Even taking hits from bongs.

Finnegan Look at you, ping-pong pimp.

Jake Yeah! You see that back there though? Mac almost took my head off.

Finnegan Hey, look, if Mac wanted to take your head off with that paddle, he would have. All right, man, he just don't like losing at anything. None of us do. Fuck yeah!

Jake Okay, look, that's just, what, Willoughby, borderline insane?

Finnegan About there?

Jake Yeah, border. Borderline.

Finnegan Well, you notice how everybody was somewhat courteous on the first day or so?

Jake Yeah.

Finnegan See, now the gloves are off. All of our true assholish nature is emerging. Ah. Not very healthy. Until we get out on the field, Jakie. This, this, all of this, this is why we're one of the best teams in the nation, man. You get a bunch of competitors together...

Jake Yeah.

Finnegan ...and you're addicted to winning. That's a championship team right there...

Jake Oh, I see.

Taglines Here for a Good Time Not a Long Time

Jake I'm starting to have an identity crisis. We danced out of disco, danced to ] in shitkicker attire, here we are, punks for a night.

Willoughby You gotta fucking embrace your inner strange, man. Just be fucking weird, you know? And when you do that, you bring who you are, never who they want. And that, my friend, is when it gets fun.

Charlie Willoughby Don't be afraid to let the experience find you.

Finnegan Have you noticed whenever we're around baseball all we talk about is pussy. Now, we're actually around a few potentially interesting young women, all you talk about is baseball. It's a little fucked up!

Roper Look at what we have here! Hey, ladies! Party later tonight at the baseball houses.

Bev's Friend You should be investing this energy elsewhere.

Roper and Finn Lesbians.

Beverly I like the quiet guy in the back seat.

Roper Whoop, there's nothing here.

Jake I can see how that would be threatening, new guy coming in getting all the ladies... That was a joke.

Plummer I've got your joke right here.

Finn Did he just call his dick a joke?

Dale That's what he implied.
