[Lucas runs in to play the first big game for the football team]
Coach : What the hell are you doing?
Lucas : I'm ready to go in. I can run fast. I can win this game.
Coach : Just get out of here, will you?
Lucas : Look, just give me one chance. One play.
Coach : Get out of here, I said. Get off of the field.
Lucas : Look, I'll make you a deal. You have nothing to lose. They're whipping your ass, anyway.
Coach : Listen to me...
Lucas : Put me in, I'll never come back, I swear. Just let me play today. You have nothing to lose, just let me in.
Coach : Hear me good, you pissant, because I'm only going to tell you one more time.
Lucas : Don't you call me that. Don't you call me a pissant, you dumb, fucking jock.
Coach : What'd you say?
Lucas : You heard me, pencil-brain. I mean, who are we kidding here, who is the pissant? The second-rate coach of a third rate team or me?
Coach : What's your name?
Lucas : Lucas.
Coach : I mean your last name!
Lucas : Bly.
Coach : You're right, Bly. I've got nothing to lose by sending you in. Karger out! Bly in!
Lucas : What position?
Coach : Prone.

[Lucas is called out of football practice by Coach Boyd]
Coach : What the hell are you?
Lucas : Excuse me?
Coach : Who suited you up?
Lucas : Well, I'd like to speak to you about that. This equipment just doesn't fit.
Coach : No, that's not the problem. It's you that don't fit. Now go turn it in.
Lucas : Excuse me. I can run really fast when I concentrate.
Coach : I said turn it in. Now, get off the field.
[yells to the other players]
Coach : All right, everybody inside for chalk talk! Shower up, first. Let's go, go, go, go, go, go!
Lucas : You're making a big mistake. I'll be good at this. I can lower my center of gravity. See? Look.
[Lucas does a few little spins left and right]
Lucas : See? And my size, I gotta run fast. If they catch me, I'm dead.
Coach : Just, listen, little buddy. We got our first game this Saturday against Rockford and I don't have time to dick around with you.
Lucas : Well, I'm afraid... you'll have to, sir... dick around with me. The Supreme Court, by virtue of the sexual discrimination act says, that if anyone tries out for a team sport has to be given the same chance as everyone else. Now, if you wish to cut me based on my performance, that's your right, but I'll take you to court if you try it before.
Coach : What's this shit?
Lucas : I looked it up. My family's in law.
