• Coach Bombay : Haven't you guys been training in the off-season?

  Lester Averman : You know, I knew we forgot something.

• Coach Bombay : Hey. How are you feeling today, Goldberg?

  Goldberg : Lean and mean!

• Coach Bombay : [to Jan]  Hans couldn't make it?

  Jan : Now don't get me started with that strudel-head. He went back to the old country. He wanted to see our mother. She loved him more, you know.

• Russ Tyler : Yeah, high-five some more. Man, my little brother could score on these guys.

  Jesse : Man, why don't you go and bother him, then?

  Russ Tyler : Haha, I ain't even got a little brother.

  Coach Bombay : Hey, Jesse. Quit gabbin' and get out there on the ice. Show me you want it, son. Let's go.

  Russ Tyler : Yeah, show us you want it, son. Let's go!

• Coach Bombay : I've had a lot of distractions since I've been here in L.A.

  [holds up a cardboard cutout of himself] 

  Coach Bombay : This is a distraction.

  [the Ducks snigger. Bombay lights a match and throws it into a barrel] 

  Coach Bombay : This is a fire-in-a-barrel.

  [places the cutout in the barrel] 

  Coach Bombay : This is a distraction-in-a-fire-in-a-barrel. Any questions?

• Coach Bombay : [as he and Coach Stansson are playing hockey against each other]  One more post and you go home crying. By the way, Stanson, you owe me a beachball.

• Coach Bombay : [Bombay is eating ice cream with the Iceland trainer, Maria]  I thought Iceland was covered with ice.

  María : No, it's very green!

  Coach Bombay : I thought Greenland was green!

  María : Greenland is covered with ice, and Iceland is very nice!

• Coach Bombay : We have a goalie, Goldberg.

  Goldberg : Alright, bring 'em, man! I'm ready for this. Show 'em what you got. I'm the man! I'm the man!

  [falls into leg split] 

  Goldberg : Ohh! Uh. Uh, help.

• Jan : I see you met my new apprentice.

  Charlie : Jan told me you did this job when you were my age.

  Coach Bombay : That's right, and I hope he pays you more than he paid me.

  Charlie : You got paid?

  Jan : Eat, everybody, before the hasenpfeffer gets cold.

• Portman : [as he takes the ice]  Showtime!

  Coach Bombay : That guy's a teenager?

  Portman : [singing]  Don't you know that everything's on fire?

  Don Tibbles : Uh, yeah, hormones.

  Coach Bombay : He's a goon!

• Coach Bombay : Ah, we've got a game against Italy, so I'll talk to you right after we win.

• Coach Bombay : What it is, it's a loafer. And we'll call it the Air-Bombay Loafer; "For kids who want to coach!"

• Adam : [Sanderson slashes Adam]  Aaaaaaah!

  [the Ducks scream at the referee for a penalty call] 

  Coach Bombay : Sit down. Sit down. Sit down. Hey ref, why don't you call something for crying out loud? He almost took his arm off!

  Referee at Games : [sends Sanderson to the penalty box]  That'll be two minutes.

  Olalf Sanderson : Two minutes well worth it.

  Ken Wu : Get in the box, you big goon!

• Charlie : [about Team USA's jerseys]  That's nice, Coach, but we're Ducks. This stuff says "Hendrix" all over it.

  Coach Bombay : Well, yeah, they're our sponsors, Charlie.

  Charlie : So what? Can't we be U.S.A. Ducks? Or at least keep our own colors?

  Coach Bombay : It's business stuff, Charlie. Don't worry about it.

• Coach Bombay : [to Coach Stansson]  We haven't formally met. I'm Gordon Bombay, coach of Team U.S.A.

  Wolf Stansson : I know my competition. I know you.

  Coach Bombay : Yeah, but do you know the real me?

  Wolf Stansson : You're full of confidence. Cocky. American. I like that. It will make our triumph even more enjoyable.

• Coach Bombay : Well, coaching the Ducks was one of the best things in my life, but I can't make a living coaching Pee Wee hockey.

  Jan : Where there's a way, there must be a will. My hockey suppliers tell me Team U.S.A. is still without a coach for the Junior Goodwill Games.

  Coach Bombay : Sounds great. Give 'em a call for me, Jan. Maybe I can sharpen their skates.

  Jan : Don't knock skate sharpening.

  Coach Bombay : I know. It's a great skill, Jan, but i don't want to spend the rest of my life sharpening skates in this rinky-dink town. I want something better. Something bigger.

• Coliseum Reporter : Coach Bombay, the Vikings from Iceland are the heavy favorite. Their coach has already guaranteed victory. How are you gonna handle them?

  Coach Bombay : Um... hard work. I think our team is ready to go up against the best in the world. We're not worried about 'em. Iceland may be tough, but, uh... we're Team U.S.A. and we're going all the way.

• Coach Bombay : Twelve to one. Twelve to one. You know what word comes to mind when you think of that? Hmm? Pathetic! You guys were brought here to play hockey.

  Jesse : What about you?

  Coach Bombay : What about me, Jesse?

  Julie Gaffney : Coach Stansson knew everything about us. They were ready for us.

  Luis Mendoza : And you spend your time driving around in convertibles talking to all those sponsor fools

  Fulton : Or hanging with the Iceland lady. We saw you two Saturday night.

  Dean : Eating ice cream with the enemy, huh, Coach?

• Michele MacKay : [to Gordon when the team doesn't show up for practice]  I canceled their practice.

  Coach Bombay : What are you talking about? Where are they?

  Michele MacKay : They needed a day off. Trust me.

  Coach Bombay : I need 'em here to practice!

  Michele MacKay : Well, they need to rest. You've been running those children ragged. They can barely stay awake in class. They're calling you Captain Blood.

  Coach Bombay : I am preparing these kids for battle. Can you understand that? We win the gold, we go on to bigger things.

  Michele MacKay : Bigger things?

  Coach Bombay : That's right!

  Michele MacKay : Please! Gordon, it's a game! You said it yourself. Games should be fun. Remember?

• Jan : [to Gordon]  Who was that man in the suit with the wet hair? Was it raining?

  Coach Bombay : It's a style, Jan.

  Jan : You looked like you just got out of the shower.

  Coach Bombay : You came 2,000 miles to make fun of me? You could have done this over the phone.

• Coach Bombay : This isn't a hockey game. It's a circus.

• Julie Gaffney : I want to play. When do I get my chance?

  Coach Bombay : Well, Julie, Goldberg's on a hot streak. I got to stick with him as long as we're winning.

  Julie Gaffney : I understand, but I left my team in Maine to show the world what I can do.

  Coach Bombay : Well, you will show the world, okay? I promise.

• Michele : I'm Michele McKay, their tutor.

  Gordon Bombay : I'm Coach Bombay, their... coach.

  Banks : So, why do we need a tutor?

  [Other players mutter protest] 

  Portman : I don't need no school!

  Goldberg : Now, Ms. McKay, we're America's team, here. Shouldn't we all just be concentrating on hockey? May I suggest optional attendance?

  [the rest of the players show their agreement] 

  Michele : Well, that's not a bad idea...

  Goldberg : Call me Goldberg.

  Michele : Goldberg... yes, school will be optional.

  [Players cheer] 

  Michele : HOWEVER, however, should you not attend, then you'll not be eligible to play.

• Jan : [to Gordon]  So what's your plan? Have you talked to Ducksworth?

  Coach Bombay : No, no. I'm not a lawyer, Jan, I'm a player.

  Jan : But your injury, it requires rest and time.

  Coach Bombay : Yeah, time is something I don't have a whole lot of. I was this close to the NHL, Jan. I was back in the game and, man, I was alive.

• Don Tibbles : [to Gordon after Team USA loses to Iceland]  Twelve to one, huh? Twelve to one. You think Hendrix is interested in backing a loser?

  [to a person that walks by] 

  Don Tibbles : Hey, how are ya?

  [to Gordon] 

  Don Tibbles : You're only good to us if you win.

  Coach Bombay : Don, I'm... I've... I...

  Don Tibbles : I've been good to you, man. I gave ya a real shot. A real shot to be somebody and this is how you repay me.

  Coach Bombay : We just didn't have the magic tonight.

  Don Tibbles : Well, you better get the damn magic and you better get it fast or I'm out of a job, and you're on your way back to Palookaville, Minnesota shoveling snow and sharpening skates. Have a nice night.

• Coach Bombay : [as Gunnar is preparing to be the last shooter for Iceland in the shootout]  Julie, you got the fast glove. I know this kid's move: triple deke, glove-side. Anticipate it, and you've got it.

  Julie Gaffney : What if he goes stick-side?

  Coach Bombay : He's fancy, he'll go glove.

• Coach Bombay : Hey Coach, you know how we have a roster spot open with Banks out?

  Coach Bombay : Yeah.

  Charlie : Well, I did some scouting.

  Charlie : Russ Tyler, this is Coach Bombay.

  Russ Tyler : Hi ya, Coach.

  Coach Bombay : Russ Tyler, huh? Well Russ, what can you do for the team?

  Russ Tyler : You never heard of my knuckle puck?

  Coach Bombay : Knuckle puck? No.

• Coach Bombay : Team, guys. I was wrong and I'm sorry. I forgot about the team and the team is all I have. All I want is another chance, just one more shot. I'm back okay. Believe me.
