A scene from Meatballs 1979

Tripper

Okay, the zone's not working. They're a little bit too good to cover man-to-man, and we can't shoot for shit.

Crockett

What kind of talk's that for a coach?

Tripper

I'm not gonna lie. There's no way we're gonna beat this team.

Wheels

What are we gonna do, Trip?

Tripper

We're gonna lose.

Wheels

What?

Tripper

But we can lose with some self-respect.

Tripper Harrison You must be the short depressed kid we ordered. Glad you made it. Tripper Harrison These are the camp rules. Morty would like you all to take a look at these. They'll be in here if you want to check them out a little bit later. Tripper Harrison Attention campers, afternoon swim schedule is as follows. Advanced dolphins, report to the dock for survival swimming and I.Q. testing. All senior silverfish, meet on the beach for nude sunbathing. All junior salmon, trout, and herring, report to the nearest delicatessen. And 6-year-old tadpoles, report to the swamp. And all lobsters, GET OUT OF HERE! YOU'RE A MENACE!
