Rachel Phelps
[while Wild Thing is playing]

I hate this ****in' song.

Rachel Phelps

Here's to the thrill of defeat, Charlie.

Well, if I'm the G.M., who's gonna be the manager?

Rachel Phelps

I was thinking of Lou Brown.

[turns the vase of flowers partially blocking his view]

Who's Lou Brown?

Rachel Phelps

He's managed the Toledo Mud Hens of the International League for the last 30 years. I think he'll fit right into our team concept.

What exactly is our team concept?

Rachel Phelps

That's what I wanted to talk to you about, Charlie: I want to put together a team that'll help us relocate to Miami.

What do you mean? [holds up the roster of spring training invitees] Some of these guys are furniture movers?

Rachel Phelps

I'm serious about this, Charlie. It's no secret I've never liked Cleveland much. [sighs] Stadium's falling apart, we don't draw dick, the weather's lousy. Another couple years of this, and I'm gonna have to start feeding Cha-Cha real dog food.

Mrs. Phelps, you just can't up and move a team on a whim.

Rachel Phelps

It's hardly a "whim". Miami's offered to build us a new stadium. 62,000 capacity, 45 VIP boxes, and for me, a mansion in Boca Raton, plus free membership in the Palm Beach Polo and Country Club. Now, no other franchise in baseball can match that deal.

The league will never let us leave Cleveland. We got a lease with the city.

Rachel Phelps
[promptly gives Charlie a copy of the lease]

The lease says we have the right to move if the attendance falls below 800,000 for the year; paragraph 40, line 17. If we play bad enough, we should be able to come in under that.

What're you saying, you want us to lose?

Rachel Phelps

No, we've been losing...What I want is for us to finish dead last.

Board Member #1
[the Indians board reacting to Rachel Phelpss spring training roster]

I've never heard of half of these guys and the ones I do know are way past their prime.

Most of these guys never had a prime.

Rachel Phelps

The facts are, we lost our two best players to free agency. We haven't won a pennant in over thirty-five years, we haven't placed higher than 4th in the last fifteen. Obviously, it's time for some changes.

Board Member #2

This guy here is dead.

Rachel Phelps
[obviously...]

Cross him off, then.
