Under whose authority?

The queen of f***ing England.

What difference does it make?

It's a done deal.

Pack up your sh*t.

You don't have

the right to restrict

my constitutional

freedom of expression.

Oh, sh*t.

You know what, bill?

You're absolutely right.

I don't. I know.

But what I do have

the right, bill,

is to decide

who plays on this team,

and who doesn't. And frankly,

we're going to really miss ya.

Okay. Come on, we both know

that this team needs me.

Maybe.

But you know what, that's a risk

that we're very willing to take.

And I need them. I do.

I have a family,

my kids go to school here.

They have friends.

We can't move back

to the states.

They only know

the metric system.

Well, bill, this will give

them a chance

to "expand their consciousness,"

as you like to say.

You know what's funny,

is I hate this part of my job.

You know, releasing players,

'cause normally,

right now is

the time when I say,

"oh, I'm so sorry.

It's not personal.

"It's business."

But today,

it actually feels good,

to be honest,

'cause I was gonna wait to

do this after the home stand.

But since you're being here,

and such a f***ing douchebag,

why don't you just sign here,

and initial here?

And you know what, bill,

we're done.

You know what?

You wanna cut me, go for it.

There are plenty

of other clubs out there

desperate for quality

left-handed pitching.

One of them will sign me.

And then we're gonna come marching back

in here with the pennant on the line,

and I'm gonna beat you

in a game so bad

that your future, future,

great grandsons will feel it

like a swift kick in the nuts.

That's my grandpa Forrest

for f***'s sake, bill.

I tell you what, bill, I sincerely

believe that you believe that.

One of them will sign me, someone who

appreciates me and lets me be myself.

Somebody who knows how to treat

its employees with dignity.

With respect and loyalty.

Hey, do me a solid, when you find this

mythical team, see if they'd give me a job?

Hey, bill! Come on back. What?

Hey, unless you initial

it's not official.

I got a t-shirt made

with that on it.

There you go.

Oh, that's mature, bill.

Yeah.

That's mature.

Somebody will pick me up.

Guaranteed, probably

later this afternoon.

Don't count on it, bill.

Don't f***ing count on it.

- You're listening to

- CFCF 600 Montreal.

There is a disturbing rumor

circulating around town right now

that the expos

have released bill Lee.

Hopefully, it's just a rumor.

Either way, this one

goes out to you, bill.

It's Warren Zevon, bill Lee.

F***in' expos...

F***! F***!

I got a brother, he's got a fishing

outfit in the eastern townships.

You can get a job there.
