• Coach Norman Dale : First of all, let's be real friendly here, okay? My name is Norm. Secondly, your coaching days are over.

  George : Look, mister, there's... two kinds of dumb, uh... guy that gets naked and runs out in the snow and barks at the moon, and, uh, guy who does the same thing in my living room. First one don't matter, the second one you're kinda forced to deal with.

  Coach Norman Dale : Translate. That some sort of threat?

  George : I don't know why Cletus drug your tired old bones in here, he musta owed you somethin' fierce. Fact is, mister, you start screwin' up this team, I'll personally hide-strap your ass to a pine rail and send you up the Monon Line!

  [George angrily turns and storms out of the gym] 

  Coach Norman Dale : Leave the ball, will you, George?

• Rollin : [as Jimmy walks in on the town meeting that determines Coach Dale's fate]  What can I do for you, Jimmy?

  Jimmy Chitwood : I got something to say.

  Rollin : All right, say what you've gotta say.

  Jimmy Chitwood : [to crowd]  I don't know if it'll make any change, but I figured it's time for me to start playing ball.

  George : [as crowd is cheering, points to Dale]  I told you, once we got rid of him!

  Jimmy Chitwood : But, there's just one thing... I play, Coach stays. He goes, I go.

  George : [crowd starts murmuring]  Uhhh, the coach is dismissed by a vote of 68 to 45...

  Opal Fleener : I think we should vote again!

  Rollin : All those in favor of the coach staying, say 'Aye'

  [majority of crowd says 'Aye'] 

  Rollin : , all opposed...

  [a handful say 'nay', tears up George's tally sheet] 

  Rollin : ...Coach stays!
