A scene from Little Giants 1994

[Danny and Kevin walk to midfield for the coin toss]

]

Mayor

[testing the microphone]

Is this thing on? Is this–[brief microphone feedback] Uh, good to see you folks. Welcome to the park! Now today, Kevin's Pee-Wee Cowboys are going to test their mini-muscles against Danny's Little Giants!

Kevin

"Little Giants." Nice touch.

Danny

I thought you'd like that.

Mayor

Kevin, you call it.

Kevin

Heads.

Danny

[catches the coin as it's flipped]

Uh, excuse me, how come he gets to call it?

Kevin

Danny, what difference does it make? Either you kick off and we ram it down your throat...[the microphone picks up their conversation, broadcasting it throughout the field] Or we kick off, we take it from you, then ram it down your throat.

Danny

What is it with you? You've been bossing me around since we were kids. Will you stop it already?

Kevin

Hey, it's football. You don't ask for things, you take them.

Danny

Like you took my ticket to the World Series with Dad?

Mayor

Guys, cut it out. You're brothers.

Danny

Not by choice.

Kevin

Hey, I don't need that. Not from a guy who sunk his last diamond into a broken-down gas station.

Danny

That "busted down" gas station has been servicing this community for over 40 years. It's a landmark.

Kevin

Ought to be a landfill.

Danny

I would put that gas station up against any business in this town.

Kevin

Are you sure about that?

Danny

Yes, I would and yes, I am.

Kevin

Okay, fine!

Danny

Okay, fine! [beat] What're we talking about?

Kevin

We're talking about my car dealership against your gas station. Winner of this game takes it all.

Danny

You're on!

Kevin

Alright.

Danny

Okay.

Kevin

[referring to the coin flip]

I'll even let you call it. Open up your fist.

Danny

Heads. [opens his hand, showing the coin]

Kevin

Tails, hah! Danny, this is going to be the longest day of your life.

Danny

Yeah, we'll see about that. [flips the coin back to the mayor, then both brothers walk back to the sidelines; to himself] What the hell am I doing?
