Bobby. Bobby! Can you do this for me? Every single game, can you do this?

Coach, not only will I do it for you, I... I... I... yes, yes, I'll do it for you.

Is there any sport that you do watch? You know, a physical sport? Boxing? Hockey?

Mama, I gotta read this book and six other books tonight or else I can't play foot...ball.

Foolsball? You playin' the foolsball behind my back?!

The only reason I'm doing this is so I can go to school.

Mama Boucher

School?! You're going to school?! Aaaah!

Bobby Boucher

I'm sorry, mama. I wanted to tell you.

Mama Boucher

You're out there gallivanting with all yo' foolsball friends in school, while I'm sitting here all day with no one to keep me company, except Steve? [gestures to donkey drinking out of toilet bowl] The chickens are coming home to roost, Bobby Boucher. You'll rid yourself of yo' selfish ways. You gonna lose all your fancy "foolsball" games, and you're gonna fail your big exam, because school is-

Bobby Boucher

-the devil?! [Mama gasps] Everything is the devil to you, Mama! Well, I like school, and I like football! And I'm gonna keep doin' them both because they make me feel good! [runs out, turns back at Mama] And by the way, Mama. Alligators are ornery 'cause of their "medulla oblongata"! [runs out the door, then back in] And I like Vicki, and she like me back! And she showed me her boobies and I like them too! [slams the door on Mama]

Dad?

Roberto

You know, I've seen you on the ESPN, when they was talkin' about you bein' drafted by the NFL.

Bobby

I'm not going to the NFL. I'm gonna stay in school and graduate.

Roberto

The hell with school, dopey! Take the money! You and me can be partners! Just like that Tiger Woods and his dad! [as he sees Mama bolting towards him in rage] Uh-oh.

Bobby Boucher
[Mama decks Roberto out of revenge for abandoning both her and Bobby years ago. The crowd cheers to this]

Nice hit, Mama!

Mama Boucher

Thanks, baby. Now go on, have fun becomin' a man.
(Bobby wakes up the next morning in the hospital just as Mama Boucher wakes from her “coma”.) Bobby Boucher: Mama! Oh, Thank God you’re all right!! I’m so sorry Mama!
Mama: Oh there now, hush. I should’ve shown this to you a long ago.
(Mama hands Bobby her photo album and sees picture of a James Dean type next to his mama at a younger age) Bobby: Oh my word. Is that my daddy?
Mama: Nah. Nah, that was the guy before I ever met your father. You can a iron on a shirt on his stomach. Hell, that was lust, not love. Turn the page.
(Bobby, with a puzzled look, turns the page to see...a cross eyed brain dead looking Cajun man) Mama: THERE’S your daddy.
Bobby:Oooooohhhhh.....
