The Mighty Ducks Page #2

Synopsis: Gordon Bombay, a hotshot lawyer, is haunted by memories of his childhood, when, as the star player in his champion hockey team, he lost the winning goal in a shootout, thereby losing the game, and the approval of his coach. After being charged for drunk driving, the court orders him to coach a peewee hockey team, the worst in the league, Gordon is at first very reluctant. However, he eventually gains the respect of the kids and teaches them how to win, gaining a sponsor on the way and giving the team the name of The Ducks. In the finals, they face Gordon's old team, coached by Gordon's old coach, giving Gordon a chance to face old ghosts.

this firm's good name

through the mud.

l've talked to Judge Weathers

and he has agreed to suspend your case.

- Under what conditions ?

- Probation, suspension of

your driver's licence...

and 500 hours

of community service.

And a leave of absence

from the firm.

A leave of absence ?

He can't do that.

- He can't stop me from working !

- He's not. l am.

That was my condition.

Gordon, you need a break.

- You're too wrapped up in your work.

- But, sir, my work is my life.

That's just my point.

The community service will do you good.

lt'll teach you compassion,

a sense of fair play, how to fit in.

- Community service ? This is horrible.

- You'll get used to it.

And hopefully you'll come back

a better person and a better attorney,

which is why l'm keeping you on salary

and have arranged a driver for you.

You know, in the early '70s l drove the

tour bus for The Grand Funk Railroad.

Man, that was the life.

Chicks, parties,

amps cranked up to about

eight jillion decibels.

All that loud music damaged my hearing,

but l got no regrets...

- except for the '80s.

- How could he do this to me ?

Community service...

coaching hockey !

l found one !

l'm comin' out !

[ Boy ] Karp, you finally found

something for once in your life.

Dumpster Dave comes through !

- What do you think ?

- Lovely, Karp, it goes with your eyes.

- You gonna take that from him, Karp ?

- Remind me to bust you, Averman.

- Thanks, Peter. Thanks very much.

- Did you get it ?

- Yeah ! Right there !

- Yeah !

Here, Petie. Here, boy.

A little chili

to keep you warm, buddy.

- Oh, yeah, that's nice.

- Oh, yeah, look !

[ Peter ]

l can't believe he ate the can too.

[ Averman ]

He sniffs.

He sniffs again.

Looking for that perfect place.

[ Averman ]

He sniffs some more. He stops.

l think this is it !

He's turnin' in a circle.

- He squats ! He scores !

- Yes ! We did it !

[ Groaning ]

Full load.

Stinks !

[ Averman ]

Come on, come on, give me the dollar !

- [ Peter ] Hurry it up already.

- l'm hurryin', okay ?

- Go, go, go, go !

- Yeah ! All right ! Let's do it !

Oh, come on. Stop !

- Yes !

- Okay ! Here we go.

Yeah. There's more inside.

[ Karp ]

He's takin' off with it.

This guy deserves what he gets.

- [ Tyres squealing ]

- [ Screaming ]

[ Laughing ]

Oh, guys, he saw us.

Oh, my !

[ Groaning ]

[ Cheering ]

Rink's gotta be

around here someplace.

Just look for a sign

that says ''Personal Hell.''

How could he do this to me ?

l hate kids. They're barely human.

[ lndistinct chatter ]

Come on ! Over here !

Keep it down, please !

Hey, come on.

There's no need for this.

Let's talk, come on.
