Quotes[]
Tucker: | (Comes in with softball equipment) Found them. They were in the storage room next to the Christmas lights and what I thought was Mrs. Bart's lost chihuahua...... It wasn't. |
Ben: | Thanks man. And there will be no trash talking the B-Bar Brawlers. |
Danny: | I'm sorry. I just don't see the point of playing if you're not at least trying to win. Back me up here, Riley. |
Riley: | Oh no. I've known you both long enough to know that "back me up, Riley" is two seconds away from "Shut up, Riley. Who asked you?" |
Ben: | The point - wait for it - is to have fun, and the fun is what I bring. How do you think I got elected team captain? |
Tucker: | Well, you gave us free beer and ballots and said "vote for me". |
Danny: | You can't tell me you're actually okay with this. (Bonnie dating his coach) |
Ben: | I'm actually okay with this. |
Riley: | (Feeding Emma) Well, your mom dating your coach should make for some interesting pillow talk. |
Danny: | What? No pillows. How did there suddenly get to be pillows? They were just going to Happy Hour. |
Ben: | If I recall, the last girl you took to Happy Hour got so happy we got a noise complaint. |
Danny: | But that's different. They wouldn't... She's a mom! |
Riley: | And Ben's a dad. Hasn't slowed him down. |
Ben: | It would take a lot more than a baby. |
Danny: | That's it-- I can't think about this anymore. I'm going to go workout until even my brain is exhausted. |
Ben: | See ya' in 20. (Danny leaves and Ben talks to Riley) Any progress? |
Riley: | If she could eat through her nose, I'd say she's doing great. |
Ben: | (After successfully feeding Emma)..Aww. |
Riley: | Mystery solved. She's a Daddy's girl. |
Ben: | (Phone rings) Ah, Tucker and the guys are already at the field. I should finish feeding her. Mom's gonna be here soon, can you run my equipment down to the field for me? And take my mitt. You'll have fun. I promise. |
Riley: | (Holding the softball equipment) Oof. This weighed so much less when I weighed so much more. |
Ben: | You don't care about a shelf-full of trophies, do you? Your daddy's still a winner in your eyes, right? (Emma spits on him) I'll take that as a "yes. |
Ben: | Truth: I was kind of looking forward to winning for a change. Never really tried it before. |
Riley: | Well, I think you and the Brawlers can figure out how to do it without me. |
Ben: | Maybe. But what fun would that be? |
Riley: | Ben. Nobody wants me. |
Ben: | It doesn't matter. I want you. (Tosses a softball to Riley and Riley hits it and broke a car's windscreen) I think we should probably run. |
Riley: | Yeah. (Drops bat and runs with Ben) |
