1. It looks like it's down
Copy !req
2. to the final strike of the
final out of the final inning.
Copy !req
3. Is this where the Zephyrs'
perfect season ends?
Copy !req
4. Wait for your pitch, Donna.
Copy !req
5. Where's your rally cap, Dale?
Copy !req
6. How's the rally god
supposed to know
Copy !req
7. who to give mojo to?
Copy !req
8. If we rally, I'll have to bat,
Copy !req
9. and I'll be the last out
Copy !req
10. that ruins our
undefeated season.
Copy !req
11. Easy out!
Copy !req
12. She's distracted by
her recent divorce.
Copy !req
13. Dang it, Dale.
Copy !req
14. Shut up and put your glove
on your god-dang head.
Copy !req
15. Ow!
Copy !req
16. Got a walk. Walk's
good, y' hear?
Copy !req
17. You're a saint, Donna.
Copy !req
18. Okay, Dale, bases loaded.
Copy !req
19. A hit wins it.
Copy !req
20. But, but I haven't
had a hit all season.
Copy !req
21. Your season starts now, Dale.
Copy !req
22. Take what you've learned
from all those strikeouts
Copy !req
23. and put it to use.
Copy !req
24. All you have to do is...
Copy !req
25. "Believe to achieve."
Copy !req
26. Now, get up there and
do what my shirt says.
Copy !req
27. Run, Dale, run!
Copy !req
28. Geh!
Copy !req
29. Holy-moly, cannoli!
Copy !req
30. Zephyrs win! Zephyrs win!
Copy !req
31. Yeah, I spanked
that ball so hard,
Copy !req
32. I probably should've apologized
Copy !req
33. and bought it a
box of chocolates.
Copy !req
34. See, Dale?
Copy !req
35. You believed, and
then you achieved.
Copy !req
36. I guess I believed a
little, but I don't know.
Copy !req
37. I think there was
Copy !req
38. something more to it than that.
Copy !req
39. Well, maybe you gave 110%,
Copy !req
40. because Hank
says that works, too.
Copy !req
41. No, I only gave 70%.
Copy !req
42. I was feeling kind of sick
Copy !req
43. after I accidentally swallowed
my chewing tobacco.
Copy !req
44. Maybe you stumbled
onto a lucky ritual.
Copy !req
45. I mean, all the greats had one.
Copy !req
46. Joe DiMaggio would
keep a penny in his shoe.
Copy !req
47. Ty Cobb would beat his valet.
Copy !req
48. Attention, Zephyrs.
Copy !req
49. When the season started, no one
gave this team much of a chance
Copy !req
50. and things looked pretty bleak
Copy !req
51. when we lost Joe
Jack because of...
Copy !req
52. Well, we all know what
happened at the Taco Bueno.
Copy !req
53. But we never lost a step.
Copy !req
54. Bob Jenkins joined the team,
Copy !req
55. and to watch
him in the outfield,
Copy !req
56. you would've thought
there was radar
Copy !req
57. under that eye patch.
Copy !req
58. And through it all, none
of us stopped believing,
Copy !req
59. and that's why we're the
first undefeated softball team
Copy !req
60. in Arlen Rec League history.
Copy !req
61. Yeah.
Copy !req
62. Real stirring, Hank.
Copy !req
63. Listen, how'd you like to give
Copy !req
64. a motivational talk
at school tomorrow?
Copy !req
65. Really?
Copy !req
66. I'd be honored.
Copy !req
67. Thanks. The
magician had to cancel.
Copy !req
68. Who would've thought
a dove could do all that
Copy !req
69. to a man's face?
Copy !req
70. And so whether you
eventually choose a career
Copy !req
71. in customer service
or the military,
Copy !req
72. try to do it the
Zephyr way... perfect.
Copy !req
73. Now, if I could have
all the members
Copy !req
74. of the baseball
team please stand,
Copy !req
75. I'd like to tell you a little
story about never giving up.
Copy !req
76. Uh, the baseball
program's been cut, Hank.
Copy !req
77. Budget issues.
Copy !req
78. Go, Longhorns.
Copy !req
79. Well, this is just wrong.
Copy !req
80. Okay, if you were
on the baseball team,
Copy !req
81. I've got a message for you.
Copy !req
82. Keep believing in yourselves.
Copy !req
83. How's that gonna bring
our baseball team back?
Copy !req
84. Well, uh, it's, uh, uh...
Copy !req
85. Huh.
Copy !req
86. There's got to be some way
to save the baseball program.
Copy !req
87. Hmm. Well, let's see.
Copy !req
88. You could attract
new industry to Arlen
Copy !req
89. and raise the tax base.
Copy !req
90. Hank, you'd be great
at attracting industry.
Copy !req
91. Yeah, but that
could take months.
Copy !req
92. Baseball season
starts next week.
Copy !req
93. Hank, I've got it.
Copy !req
94. We could play the Ace of
Diamonds and His Jewels.
Copy !req
95. They take on local teams
Copy !req
96. and use their crazy
antics to raise money
Copy !req
97. for charity.
Copy !req
98. Look at the Ace.
Copy !req
99. He's parked the unicycle,
and now he's on stilts.
Copy !req
100. Yup, I used these when I played
Copy !req
101. for the San Francisco
Jolly Green Giants.
Copy !req
102. Now the Ace
Copy !req
103. has ditched his stilts
Copy !req
104. and he's pitching
from the outfield!
Copy !req
105. Even pitching from the outfield,
Copy !req
106. Ace is still throwing smoke.
Copy !req
107. They say he used his fast ball
Copy !req
108. to stun a bear to keep it
from mauling a little girl.
Copy !req
109. Folks, looks like the
Ace has finally lost it.
Copy !req
110. He's walked the bases loaded.
Copy !req
111. Well, I'm in quite
a pickle here.
Copy !req
112. I might as well have
a sandwich with it.
Copy !req
113. I hear on some mounds
Copy !req
114. that are wired for it,
Copy !req
115. he makes a Denver omelet.
Copy !req
116. Here's the pitch.
Copy !req
117. And a line drive
right at the Ace.
Copy !req
118. He steps on the
bag, tags the runner.
Copy !req
119. It's an unassisted triple play!
Copy !req
120. And as the winner of the game,
Copy !req
121. the Ace get the prize money.
Copy !req
122. Wait! Oh, my God,
he's, he's giving it
Copy !req
123. to the Abilene Spay
and Neuter Foundation.
Copy !req
124. Unbelievable!
Copy !req
125. Unbelievable?
Copy !req
126. Not for softball's number
one philanthropist.
Copy !req
127. The Ace always gives the
winner's check to charity.
Copy !req
128. Peggy?
Copy !req
129. Tom Landry Middle School is
gonna be on that tape someday.
Copy !req
130. I wonder if cows really
get how good they taste.
Copy !req
131. Here it is, team, our
league championship trophy.
Copy !req
132. Uh! Wait a minute.
Copy !req
133. There's a mistake.
Copy !req
134. Right down here,
what it should say is,
Copy !req
135. "To be continued."
Copy !req
136. That's right, our
dream season isn't over.
Copy !req
137. We are going to play the Ace
of Diamonds and his Jewels.
Copy !req
138. Oh, man, you're talking
about ol' Ace of Diamonds.
Copy !req
139. Man, they got dang invited
to dang White House, man.
Copy !req
140. One of them struck out
Marlin Fitzwater, man.
Copy !req
141. Now, the Ace and his
team keep 10% of the gate,
Copy !req
142. but the winner gives the rest
Copy !req
143. to Tom Landry Middle School
to save the baseball program.
Copy !req
144. We can bill it
Copy !req
145. as the Battle of
the Unbeatens...
Copy !req
146. The 11-0 Zephyrs against
the Ace's 239-game win streak.
Copy !req
147. 239?
Copy !req
148. Well,
Copy !req
149. we couldn't stay
undefeated forever.
Copy !req
150. "Fame is but a slow decay.
Even this shall pass away."
Copy !req
151. I guess it'll be okay,
'cause when it's over,
Copy !req
152. he'll hand a giant
check to those poor kids.
Copy !req
153. Wait a second.
Copy !req
154. Don't give up before
we even hit the field.
Copy !req
155. I think we can be the winners.
Copy !req
156. We can be the ones
handing over that check.
Copy !req
157. But, Hank, aren't we supposed
Copy !req
158. to just let him beat us?
Copy !req
159. That's the fun of it, right?
Copy !req
160. All the pranks and all
the tricks the Ace does.
Copy !req
161. You think former big leaguers
like the Ace and his Jewels
Copy !req
162. enjoy having to play like that?
Copy !req
163. It's like playing basketball
with an eight-year-old kid.
Copy !req
164. You shoot with your left hand
Copy !req
165. just to keep it interesting.
Copy !req
166. Hey. Maybe you're right, Hank.
Copy !req
167. You bet I'm right.
Copy !req
168. They want to be challenged.
Copy !req
169. They're dying for someone
to give them an actual game.
Copy !req
170. What a thrilling idea.
Copy !req
171. Davids, pick up your slingshots.
Copy !req
172. We're going to slay the Ace.
Copy !req
173. Well, Bob, I didn't expect
Copy !req
174. that kind of spirit out of you,
Copy !req
175. but by God, it is appreciated.
Copy !req
176. Boy, this Ace of
Diamonds highlight video
Copy !req
177. is really something.
Copy !req
178. It's like he did all of
our scouting for us.
Copy !req
179. The Ace picked him off,
throwing behind his back!
Copy !req
180. They're going to kill us!
Copy !req
181. Calm down, guys.
Copy !req
182. See how much his velocity
drops when he pitches on stilts?
Copy !req
183. And remember, there's
only two jewels in the field:
Copy !req
184. a catcher and a first baseman.
Copy !req
185. Leaving their outfield
very vulnerable.
Copy !req
186. Arrogance... it's
their fatal flaw.
Copy !req
187. All we have to do is
hit it where they ain't.
Copy !req
188. We're going to play good "D,"
Copy !req
189. and lots of small ball,
Copy !req
190. and we're going to win because,
the whole season, we did what?
Copy !req
191. Believed to achieve!
Copy !req
192. Hey, I believe, Hank!
Copy !req
193. We'll win
Copy !req
194. because our Lord Jesus Christ
Copy !req
195. chose us to win!
Copy !req
196. Uh... okay, Enrique.
Copy !req
197. Make sure you say these tickets
Copy !req
198. are to help the baseball team.
Copy !req
199. Boomhauer, cover Tom McCann
Copy !req
200. to the LensCrafters.
Copy !req
201. Dale, you take the food court.
Copy !req
202. Bill, go anywhere
but Victoria's Secret.
Copy !req
203. Do you think I'd
sell more tickets
Copy !req
204. as a French boy?
Copy !req
205. Ugh!
Copy !req
206. Would you be interested
Copy !req
207. in some exciting family...
Copy !req
208. Or blended family...
Entertainment?
Copy !req
209. Wow! The Ace of
Diamonds and his Jewels?
Copy !req
210. And the Zephyrs.
Copy !req
211. Daddy saw the Ace play in
Kerrville when I was your age.
Copy !req
212. I got to stand on home plate
Copy !req
213. and have the Ace knock
a peanut off my head.
Copy !req
214. Cool! Awesome!
Copy !req
215. Hey, how much do you think
they'll beat you by? Ten? 15?
Copy !req
216. Hold on. I'm not so sure
Copy !req
217. we're going to get beat.
Copy !req
218. We're in it to win.
Copy !req
219. Yeah, and I suppose your
fastball can stun a bear, too.
Copy !req
220. Now, when Sports Jock
and Chad put me on,
Copy !req
221. make sure to turn
the radio down.
Copy !req
222. I don't want to be one
of those guys they scold.
Copy !req
223. All right, everyone, new topic:
Copy !req
224. the Ace of Diamonds
and his Jewels.
Copy !req
225. They're in town
tonight to strut their stuff
Copy !req
226. against the Arlen Zephyrs.
Copy !req
227. We've got Zephyrs Player
Coach Hank Hill with us.
Copy !req
228. Now, Hank, I have never seen
Copy !req
229. this much interest
in a softball game.
Copy !req
230. Yep. It's going
to be a big victory
Copy !req
231. for underdogs
everywhere if we win.
Copy !req
232. Sorry. I mean when we win.
Copy !req
233. Listen to you woof.
Copy !req
234. I'm going to have to put you
in the Sports Jock dog pound.
Copy !req
235. I like your showmanship, Hank.
Copy !req
236. I'll let you out.
Copy !req
237. Welcome, everyone, to
the greatest show on cleats.
Copy !req
238. And a special welcome
Copy !req
239. to tonight's charity,
Copy !req
240. the Tom Landry Middle
School baseball team.
Copy !req
241. And how about a big Arlen
welcome to the clown princes
Copy !req
242. of softball: the Ace
Copy !req
243. and his Jewels!
Copy !req
244. And, to the local undefeated
Arlen Zephyrs, we say good luck.
Copy !req
245. Dale, remember your ritual.
Copy !req
246. All right, it's show time.
Copy !req
247. Little tip: When
I strike you out,
Copy !req
248. take a step like you're going to
Copy !req
249. charge the mound,
and I'll stare you down.
Copy !req
250. I've gotten digits from
the ladies in the upper deck
Copy !req
251. when I break this out.
Copy !req
252. Ladies and gentlemen,
the Ace and his Jewels!
Copy !req
253. It always amazes me
how three can defeat ten.
Copy !req
254. I bet his first pitch
Copy !req
255. is going to be on stilts.
Copy !req
256. No, no. On his knees!
Copy !req
257. Evening. I'm the Ace.
Copy !req
258. And I'll be your tour
guide on a magical trip
Copy !req
259. around this 12-inch
world I call softball.
Copy !req
260. First up for the
Hank Hill.
Copy !req
261. Ready?
Copy !req
262. All aboard!
Copy !req
263. The Ace pitches, and
Hill bunts... to third base.
Copy !req
264. And he makes it to first safely.
Copy !req
265. What?
Copy !req
266. This is where I pitch by smell.
Copy !req
267. Luckily, my catcher hasn't
changed his socks all week.
Copy !req
268. Somebody please get
him a new pair of socks.
Copy !req
269. Okay, Boomhauer,
Copy !req
270. bring me home!
Copy !req
271. Bring me home!
Copy !req
272. Watch out. The Ace
is pitching blindly.
Copy !req
273. And the Zephyrs
bunt to third base.
Copy !req
274. Daddy, make it be fun.
Copy !req
275. I ain't your daddy!
Copy !req
276. Oh, you're talking to him.
Copy !req
277. What happened?
They bunted again.
Copy !req
278. Good Lord!
Copy !req
279. That's a live ball.
Copy !req
280. No one's ever bunted before.
Copy !req
281. It looks like the Zephyrs
are taking advantage
Copy !req
282. of the Ace's confusion,
and they score.
Copy !req
283. You were right, Hank!
Copy !req
284. Maybe we can do this.
Copy !req
285. What are these jackasses doing?
Copy !req
286. Don't worry, Boomhauer.
Copy !req
287. I will bring you home!
Copy !req
288. He's going to bunt again?
Copy !req
289. All right, show's over.
Copy !req
290. Here it comes, fat man.
Copy !req
291. Stee-rike!
Copy !req
292. And the Ace has shut
down the Zephyrs.
Copy !req
293. Okay, folks, now it's fun time.
Copy !req
294. The Ace is up to bat.
Copy !req
295. All right!
Copy !req
296. And now the pitch.
Copy !req
297. Nice home run.
Copy !req
298. Not funny, but it went far.
Copy !req
299. Well, it looks like we made
it to the end, with the Ace 63
Copy !req
300. and the Zephyrs one.
Copy !req
301. Thank God it's finally over.
Copy !req
302. Of course, there will
always be the nightmares.
Copy !req
303. Now, we may have lost
Copy !req
304. our undefeated season,
but we gave those kids
Copy !req
305. their baseball program back.
Copy !req
306. And no defeat, no
matter how, uh...
Copy !req
307. thorough...
Copy !req
308. can change that.
Copy !req
309. Those of you who are
left, how about that game?
Copy !req
310. You certainly saw something
you can go home and reflect upon.
Copy !req
311. Anyhow, I hereby present
this check to the winner,
Copy !req
312. the Ace of Diamonds.
Copy !req
313. Hey, wait!
Copy !req
314. Where you going, Ace?
Copy !req
315. You're supposed to give
that money to the kids.
Copy !req
316. Isn't that the deal?
Copy !req
317. Well, if they play
anything like you guys,
Copy !req
318. they're better off without it.
Copy !req
319. The real losers Saturday
night were the fans.
Copy !req
320. What a travesty.
Copy !req
321. People took their families
there to have some fun,
Copy !req
322. and what did they see?
Copy !req
323. Hank Hill bunting and the
Ace taking batting practice.
Copy !req
324. It was ugly all right.
Copy !req
325. I put this one in Chad's
softball hall of shame.
Copy !req
326. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
327. Why'd we ever think
we could take on
Copy !req
328. the Ace and his Jewels?
Copy !req
329. Hank got me so fired up,
Copy !req
330. I was willing to
believe in anything...
Copy !req
331. even myself.
Copy !req
332. I guess I got a
bit carried away.
Copy !req
333. I've got to straighten this out
Copy !req
334. and get those kids
their money back.
Copy !req
335. Bill, if it's any consolation,
Copy !req
336. I never believed in you.
Copy !req
337. Hello, this is Hank Hill,
and I coach the Zephyrs.
Copy !req
338. Yes, those Zephyrs.
Copy !req
339. Listen, do you know where
the Ace is playing tonight?
Copy !req
340. No, I don't want to buy a
commemorative tour schedule.
Copy !req
341. Couldn't you just tell
me the name of the town?
Copy !req
342. It's a Visa.
Copy !req
343. Oh, look.
Copy !req
344. It's the Bunt Brothers.
Copy !req
345. Look, we're real sorry
about spoiling the fun.
Copy !req
346. We just wanted to
give you a real game,
Copy !req
347. you know, show some pride.
Copy !req
348. I'm sure you can understand
that as a fellow athlete.
Copy !req
349. Fellow athlete?
Copy !req
350. I got my picture on some of
that gum that looks like tobacco.
Copy !req
351. How about you?
Copy !req
352. All right, I get it.
Copy !req
353. But let's just think
about the kids.
Copy !req
354. You always give the
winner's check to charity.
Copy !req
355. Yeah. And I always clear
a few grand in merchandise
Copy !req
356. and score a little
overnight company.
Copy !req
357. But thanks to your
boring little stunt,
Copy !req
358. the Ace slept alone last night
Copy !req
359. and has an RV full of
unsold bobbleheads.
Copy !req
360. You know what that's like
Copy !req
361. when I go over a
railroad crossing?
Copy !req
362. Okay, I admit, I screwed up,
Copy !req
363. but that's no reason to
take it out on a bunch of kids.
Copy !req
364. Just give us another shot.
Copy !req
365. We'll take foolhardy
leads off first,
Copy !req
366. we'll swing at bad
pitches, whatever's funny.
Copy !req
367. Hmm. I'm a nice guy.
Copy !req
368. Maybe if you ask
me in baby talk.
Copy !req
369. Well, I don't see how that
could make a difference...
Copy !req
370. Oh, God.
Copy !req
371. Uh, can we, uh, pwease
have another shot, pwease?
Copy !req
372. Hmm... maybe.
Copy !req
373. Do you know what you did wrong?
Copy !req
374. Uh... maybe we
pwayed too sewiouswy.
Copy !req
375. Well, let me think about it.
Copy !req
376. No.
Copy !req
377. I'm sorry, baby. The spiced wine
Copy !req
378. should be hot enough by now.
Copy !req
379. How about you?
Copy !req
380. Listen!
Copy !req
381. This isn't about you and me.
Copy !req
382. This is for the kids.
Copy !req
383. We had a deal.
Copy !req
384. So, a parking lot attendant.
Copy !req
385. You ever park one
of these babies?
Copy !req
386. He can't just hide in that
damn RV and ignore us.
Copy !req
387. Yes, he can.
Copy !req
388. And when he gets bored,
he can just drive away.
Copy !req
389. Well, I'm not gonna let him.
Copy !req
390. Save your breath, Hank.
Copy !req
391. The only thing that
could get him out of there
Copy !req
392. is a twister, the
RV's only predator.
Copy !req
393. Hope is a vessel dashed
upon the rocks of...
Copy !req
394. Oh, what's the point?
Copy !req
395. Wait! I know who
can send us a twister!
Copy !req
396. And with the help
from our Lor...
Copy !req
397. Oh, what's the point?
Copy !req
398. We're not giving up.
Copy !req
399. We just need to reach down deep
Copy !req
400. and grab what's already in
each and every one of us.
Copy !req
401. We've got grit, guts
and determination,
Copy !req
402. and we're gonna use them
Copy !req
403. to rock this damn RV
Copy !req
404. until he comes
running out of it.
Copy !req
405. Now, let's do this, Zephyrs.
Copy !req
406. Uh-oh. The hair on my
back is starting to tingle.
Copy !req
407. Your hair knows something
you're about to find out.
Copy !req
408. We're getting those
kids their money.
Copy !req
409. Now, come on, Bill.
Copy !req
410. Put your weight in that fender.
Copy !req
411. It really moved.
Copy !req
412. Everyone, grab some aluminum.
Copy !req
413. Donna, take that wheel well.
Copy !req
414. Enrique, put your
shoulder into it.
Copy !req
415. Come on, go, go!
Copy !req
416. Ready, set, rock.
Copy !req
417. Believe to achieve!
Copy !req
418. Believe to achieve!
Copy !req
419. Believe to achieve!
Copy !req
420. Wha-What the...
Copy !req
421. Hey. Hey, stop
it! I'm entertaining.
Copy !req
422. You know, Ace, we can do
this in every town you play in.
Copy !req
423. I bought a commemorative
tour schedule from your wife.
Copy !req
424. Your wife?
Copy !req
425. So where are we
going tomorrow night?
Copy !req
426. Denton, then Fredericksburg,
then into Rumpert.
Copy !req
427. Why bother even
putting on cologne?
Copy !req
428. Okay, okay!
Copy !req
429. Take the check!
Copy !req
430. Just stop pushing my house!
Copy !req
431. Way to go, team.
Copy !req
432. Well, I guess that
makes the final score
Copy !req
433. Zephyrs one, Ace's house zero.
Copy !req
434. Well, those new
uniforms look pretty good,
Copy !req
435. I tell you what.
Copy !req
436. Maybe next year
Copy !req
437. we can raise even more money
Copy !req
438. and get them fur
coats and top hats.
Copy !req
439. Ah, fundamentals.
Copy !req
440. I ain't your daddy!
