Look alive.

How could you?

- Hey, Engelberg.

- What?

There's chocolate

all over this ball.

Look, Mr. Buttermaker,

quit bugging me about my food.

People always bug me about it.

My shrink says that's why I'm fat.

You're not doing me

any good, so just quit it!

Look alive. Let's get one.

Are you ready?

Let's get one out there.

- Engelberg?

- What?

That is a bunt...

B-U-N-T.

The catcher is supposed to pick up

the bunt and throw it to first base.

How was I supposed to know? You made

such a big deal yelling out to them.

Diversionary tactic, Engelberg.

Now get the ball.

Why are you always

picking on me?

Engelberg, quit your bellyaching

and throw the ball to first base!

Don't blame me.

I didn't even know it was your car.

It's dumb, parking it so close

to the field anyway.

All right, boys.

Let's get back to basics.

This is a baseball.

The object is to keep the baseball

within the confines of the field.

Wait a minute!

One wild throw, you don't think

we know what a ball is?

I don't think I like

that kind of talk.

He's been in enough

fights this week already.

He's been in enough

fights this week already.

We play like this, we'll be

the laughingstock of the league.

What do you expect?

All we got on this team...

is a bunch of Jews,

spics, n*ggers, pansies...

and a booger-eating moron.

Tanner, you should be

reminded from time to time...

that you're one of the few

people on this team...

who's not a Jew, spic, n*gger,

pansy, or booger-eating moron.

So you better cool it, or we may be

disposed to beat the crap outta you.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah.

Cut it out!

Now, guys, somebody's

gonna pay for this windshield.

And I think, Engelberg,

it's gonna be your father.

Bullshit.

Come on, babe. We were

supposed to be here by 7:30.

- It looks like a baseball field.

- They did a nice job, didn't they?

I had them

leave off the anchovies...

because I didn't know whether

to use them as bats or the baseline.

Besides, most people don't like

the taste of anchovies.

- I don't like them.

- You see?

Carol, where is Frank?

Is he still practicing?

You got to keep after him.

You all look terrific.

Everybody be patient.

Pizza's on very soon.

Jill, I'm getting ready

for the slide show.

- Glad you could make it.

- I wouldn't miss it for the world.

We have one of these every year. It

gets things off on a friendly note.

After the start of the season, we

all don't always get along so well.

How are the uniforms

coming along?

What?

The uniforms.

Your team uniforms.

Buttermaker,

you better get on the ball.

The best colors have been taken:

Green and white, blue and white...

red and white, maroon and white,
