  Danny O'Shea : Rudy Zoleteck, your friendly neighborhood gasman!

  Mr. Zolteck : Gasman? I don't get it.

  Mrs. Zolteck : Think about it.

• Danny O'Shea : [disguising his voice as a little old lady]  State police? Oh, thank God! My name is Thelma Mae Rogers, I'm 86 years old, I live in Urbania. There are two men down the bridge from the Shell station spying on some kids!

  [passes the phone to Timmy, who starts to "cry"] 

  Danny O'Shea : I just don't think it's right for men their age to be parading around in their underwear!

  Timmy Moore : Please, hurry!

  Danny O'Shea : Oh no!

  [hangs up the phone] 

  Danny O'Shea : Nice job, Timmy.

  [they high five] 

• Danny O'Shea : [Recruiting Timmy]  Do you play football?

  Danny O'Shea : Do you like football?

  Timmy Moore : No.

  Danny O'Shea : Do you want to play football?

  Timmy Moore : No.

  Danny O'Shea : Great, you can be on our team.

• Danny O'Shea : [When the Giants, losing at the half, want to be put on the injured list]  You know, there is something you guys should know. When I was 10 years old, I put myself on the injured list. I never got off.

  Timmy Moore : Why?

  Danny O'Shea : Cause I didn't get picked a few times, so I started hiding under the bleachers.

  Marcus : That's where we belong, under the bleachers.

  Danny O'Shea : No you don't. You guys belong out there with those Cowboys. You know how I know that? Because I belong out there with my brother.

  Rudy Zolteck : Give us a break, coach. You could never beat Kevin O'Shea at anything!

  Danny O'Shea : That's not true. I did beat him once.

  Jake Berman : When?

  Danny O'Shea : When we were kids. We used to race our bikes down Cherry Hill every day after school. We raced every day and he always beat me, but one time, one time I beat him.

  Jake Berman : You beat Kevin down Cherry Hill?

  Danny O'Shea : Yes, I did. He ate my dust.

  Johnny Vennaro : Big deal. One time.

  Tad : You know, one time at Randy Cooper's swim party, I did a backflip off the high dive, and my brother chickened out.

  Marcus : Roger chickened out? He's a Marine!

  Rudy Zolteck : Ah, that's nothing! One time at the spring carnival, I beat both of my brothers in the Cow Dung Toss.

  Tad : You beat Matt and Brett in the turd toss?

  Jake Berman : You know, one time I went fishing with my entire family, and I was the only one that didn't throw up.

  Marcus : So, what? It still doesn't make us good football players.

  Danny O'Shea : Well, wait a second, guys. Who said you had to be good to play football? You play football because you want to. You play football because it's fun. You play football so you could pretend you're Joe Montana throwing a touchdown pass, or Emmitt Smith going for a long run. And even if those Cowboys are better than you guys, even if they beat you 99 times out of 100, that still leaves.

  Tad : One time.

  Rudy Zolteck : One time.

  Junior Floyd : [Smiles]  Yeah one time!

• Danny O'Shea : [Keven and Danny are racing to claim the new player]  This whole town may love you, but I'm the only one who knows how truly sick you are!

  Kevin O'Shea : I treated you like a prince!

  Danny O'Shea : You ignored me!

  Kevin O'Shea : I took you to see the Cleveland Indians!

  Danny O'Shea : You left me at the stadium!

• Danny O'Shea : Hey, I got an idea. How about we go put some mud tires on the go cart?

  Becky O'Shea : Nah. I don't want to.

  Danny O'Shea : Alright, forget the tires. How about we go camping in the woods! Make moose sounds?

  Becky O'Shea : Nah.

  Danny O'Shea : Alright, forget the moose sounds.

• Danny O'Shea : I don't know but I've been told.

  Little Giants : Butz's butt is green with mold.

  Danny O'Shea : You say thank you I say please.

  Little Giants : Kevin sits down when he pees.

• Becky O'Shea : [quietly doing a cheer]  give me a J. Give me a U. Give me a.

  Danny O'Shea : Is that lipstick?

  Becky O'Shea : No. It's a cherry tootsie pop.

• [Patty gives Danny a hug after the Giants win the game] 

  Danny O'Shea : Patty Floyd, I was wondering if you would be interested in having dinner with me.

  [Patty gives Danny a kiss] 

  Danny O'Shea : Fine, if you would like to think about it.

  [Patty laughs then gives Danny another hug]
