but it's still
a long, long way
from your league, believe me.
Oh, is that what you mean by
"home-spun candor"?
To me, it sounded like
good old false modesty.
You came here to
knock me off my pedestal,
didn't you, country boy?
(LAUGHS)
All right.
All right.
SCHWIMMER:
If at UCLA or Notre-Dame
the hero of the hour
is the football coach,
our hero is a man
most of you know
simply as Charlie.
I give you
the winningest debater
in collegiate history,
the man who has
coached Kenmont
to seven conference titles
in 12 years,
Professor Charlie Nichols.
(ALL CHEERING)
Whoa!
TUCKER:
Coming through.Excuse me.
Sorry.
Hi. Sorry, I'm late.
Atilla made me stay and
clean the meat locker.
Tucker Muldowney, Donna Lumis.
-Hey, how you doin'?
-Nice to meet you.
(AUDIENCE HOOTING)
Well, it's nice to be loved.
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
And I should like to warn you.
A debate, as practice here,
is rougher than football.
-CROWD:
Ooh!-Meaner than ice hockey.
CROWD:
Yeah!Much more strenuous
than wrestling.
(CROWD LAUGHING)
And because women
can play at it
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
just as down and dirty
as the men,
(AUDIENCE CHEERING)
it's probably the scariest,
most fascinating sport
on the face of the planet.
-(CROWD CHEERING)
-Let's debate.
(AUDIENCE HOOTING)
Resolved. That sex education
should not be taught
in our public schools.
-(FEW PEOPLE CHEERING)
-Resolved!
That condoms
should never be sold
on our high school
and college campuses.
-(PEOPLE BOOING)
-(SCATTERED APPLAUSE)
Resolved. That abstinence
is the best way to avoid AIDS.
(CROWD CHEERING)
The affirmative will prove
that the institution
best suited to educating
is the family.
(CROWD BOOING)
And when the schools attempt
they are, in fact,
promoting promiscuity
and undermining the values
of our nation.
(AUDIENCE LAUGHING)
I hate this school.
It's a bunch of Cretans
and Neanderthals and b*obs.
These have the special
reservoir tip.
Who am I talking to?
Why am I even talking to you?
Hey. Hey, now, watch this.
McKellar is the best.
Personally, I think
he's even better than
Lloynd and Shields
from Harvard.
So let me understand
your position.
(CLEARS THROAT)
Are you telling us
that high school
and college students
should abstain
from having sex?
SUSAN:
Yes.-(CROWD BOOING)
-(GARSON CHUCKLES)
So when the hormones
start throbbing
and some young adolescent
starts feeling, uh...
-Horny!
-(ALL LAUGHING)
Okay, horny!
What're you suggesting
they do, Susan?
What do you mean?
Choke the chicken,
slap the dolphin,
bleed the lizards,
-(CROWD CHEERING)
-spank the monkey!
