Spike

Who's Spike's lead blocker?

Danny O'Shea

The Icebox.

Spike

Where's he at?

Becky

Right here.

Spike
[Stunned after learning Icebox is female]

Is Spike mistaken? Aren't you a girl?

Becky
[Sarcastic]

Gee, good eye.

Spike

Spike don't play with girls

Danny O'Shea

She's pretty good, Spike.

Spike

Spike don't care. Didn't you hear? Spike don't play with-

Becky
[Becky hits Spike with ball]

I can tackle anything. Anytime. Anywhere. Got that?

Spike

Look, you berzerko Barbie doll, when you mess with Spike, you mess with death.

Becky

You can talk the talk. But can you walk the walk?

Spike

Try me!

Becky

I will!

Spike

Let's go!

Becky

Right now!

Jake "Berminator" Berman
[Puts his hands on his helmet]

Somebody call 911!

Rudy Zolteck
[After Spike's been transferred to the Cowboys]

Great, now they have Spike.

Jake "Berminator" Berman

And we got nothing.

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

We got us.

Rasheed "Hot Hands" Hanon

Yeah! We stink!

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

'Cause you can't catch, Hot Hands.

Rudy Zolteck

At least he can walk, Crush Jerk.

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

Hey Zolteck, have another Pop Tart!

Rasheed "Hot Hands" Hanon

Yeah, fart boy, or can't you open your big mouth wide enough?!?

Danny O'Shea

Okay, guys, that's enough.

Junior Floyd

Yeah, Coach's right. Break it up.

Rudy Zolteck

Oh, shut up, Junior! You're so good, it makes us sick!

Junior Floyd
[Pause]

Hey, you don't want me to play? No problemo. I'm outta here. [Leaves]

Becky

Nice work! If it wasn't for him, we wouldn't even have a team.

Marcus, the kicker

Hey, if it wasn't for him, maybe you'd stop drooling and played a little more football!

Little Giants

Yeah!

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

Why can't we all just play together?

Rasheed "Hot Hands" Hanon

Oh, shut up, dipstick! You're probably the main reason Spike quit!

Rudy Zolteck

Yeah, quit bawling you big baby!

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

I can cry if I want! It's a free country! I can even do this! [kicks Rudy's leg]

Rudy Zolteck

Ow! Ow!

Marcus, the kicker
[Coach Danny O'Shea's jaw drops in his shock] [Impressed]

Nice kick.

Danny O'Shea
[Little Giants walks away]

Guys, practice isn't over yet.

Little Giants

Who cares?

Danny O'Shea

This whole town may love you, but I'm the only one who knows how truly sick you are!

Kevin O'Shea

I treated you like a prince!

Danny O'Shea

You ignored me!

Kevin O'Shea

I took you to see the Cleveland Indians!

Danny O'Shea

You left me at the stadium!

Kevin O'Shea

Ahh!

Danny O'Shea
[Disguising his voice as an old lady]

State police? Oh, thank God! My name is Thelma Mae Rogers. I'm 86 years old. I live in Urbania. There are two men down the bridge from the Shell station spying on some kids! [Passes the phone to Timmy, who feign cries] We're all really scared. I just don't think it's right for men their age to be parading around in their underwear!

Timmy Moore

Please hurry!

Danny O'Shea

Oh, no! [Hangs up the phone] Nice job. [High fives Timmy]

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson
[Receiving their uniforms on game day, after Becky has left to join the cheerleaders]

Death shrouds.

Danny O'Shea
[Turns one around]

They've got your names on the back.

Jake "Berminator" Berman

So the guys at the morgue can identify the bodies.

Danny O'Shea
[When the Little Giants, losing at the half, want to be put on the injured list]

You know, there is something you guys should know. When I was 10 years old, I put myself on the injured list. I never got off it.

Timmy "Rawhide" Moore

Why?

Danny O'Shea

Because I didn't get picked a few times, so I started hiding under the bleachers.

Marcus "The Toe"

That's where we belong. Under the bleachers.

Danny O'Shea

No, you don't. You guys belong out there with those Cowboys. You know how I know that? Because I belong out there with my brother.

Rudy Zolteck

Give us a break, coach. You could never beat Kevin O'Shea at anything!

Danny O'Shea

That's not true. I did beat him once.

Jake "Berminator" Berman

When?

Danny O'Shea

When we were kids. We used to race our bikes down Cherry Hill every day after school. We raced every day and he always beat me, but one time - one time i beat him.

Jake "Berminator" Berman:

You beat Kevin down Cherry Hill?

Danny O'Shea

Yes, I did. He ate my dust.

Johnny "Viper" Vennaro

Big deal. One time.

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

You know, one time at Randy Cooper's swim party, I did a backflip off the high dive, and my brother chickened out.

Marcus "The Toe"

Roger chickened out? He's a Marine!

Rudy Zolteck

Ah, that's nothing! One time at the spring carnival, I beat both of my brothers in the Cow Dung Toss.

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

You beat Matt and Brad in the turd toss?

Jake "Berminator" Berman

You know, one time I went fishing with my entire family, and I was the only one that didn't throw up.

Marcus "The Toe"

So what? It still doesn't make us good football players.

Danny O'Shea

Well, wait a second, guys. Who said you had to be good to play football? You play football because you want to. You play football because it's fun. You play football so you and pretend you're Joe Montana throwing a touchdown pass, or Emmitt Smith going for a long run, and even if those Cowboys are better than you guys, even if they beat you 99 times out of 100, that still leaves.

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

One time.

Rudy Zolteck

One time.

Junior Floyd
[Smiles]

Yeah...one time!
