A scene from Bull Durham 1988
Ebby Calvin LaLoosh

How come you don't like me?

Crash Davis

Because you don't respect yourself, which is your problem. But you don't respect the game, and that's my problem. You got a gift.

Ebby Calvin LaLoosh

I got a what?

Crash Davis

You got a gift. When you were a baby, the Gods reached down and turned your right arm into a thunderbolt. You got a Hall-of-Fame arm, but you're pissing it away.

Ebby Calvin LaLoosh

I ain't pissing nothing away. I got a Porsche already; a 911 with a quadrophonic Blaupunkt.

Crash Davis

Christ, you don't need a quadrophonic Blaupunkt! What you need is a curveball! In the show, everyone can hit heat.

Ebby Calvin LaLoosh

Well, how would you know? YOU been in the majors?

Crash Davis

Yeah, I've been in the majors.
