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 got-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 motivation 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!
Copy !req
215. Awesome!
Copy !req
216. Hey, how much do you think
they'll beat you by? Ten? 15?
Copy !req
217. Hold on.
I'm not so sure
Copy !req
218. we're going
to get beat.
Copy !req
219. We're in it to win.
Copy !req
220. Yeah, and I suppose your
fastball can stun a bear, too.
Copy !req
221. Now, when Sports Jock
and Chad put me on,
Copy !req
222. make sure
to turn the radio down.
Copy !req
223. I don't want to be one
of those guys they scold.
Copy !req
224. All right, everyone, new topic:
Copy !req
225. the Ace of Diamonds
and his Jewels.
Copy !req
226. They're in town tonight
to strut their stuff
Copy !req
227. against the Arlen Zephyrs.
Copy !req
228. We've got Zephyrs Player Coach
Hank Hill with us.
Copy !req
229. Now, Hank, I have never seen
Copy !req
230. this much interest
in a softball game.
Copy !req
231. Yep. It's going
to be a big victory
Copy !req
232. for underdogs everywhere
if we win.
Copy !req
233. Sorry. I mean when we win.
Copy !req
234. Listen to you woof.
Copy !req
235. I'm going to have to put you
in the Sports Jock dog pound.
Copy !req
236. I like your showmanship, Hank.
Copy !req
237. I'll let you out.
Copy !req
238. Welcome, everyone, to the
greatest show on cleats.
Copy !req
239. And a special welcome
Copy !req
240. to tonight's charity,
Copy !req
241. the Tom Landry Middle School
baseball team.
Copy !req
242. And how about a big Arlen
welcome to the clown princes
Copy !req
243. of softball: the Ace
Copy !req
244. and his Jewels!
Copy !req
245. And, to the local undefeated
Arlen Zephyrs, we say good luck.
Copy !req
246. Dale, remember
Copy !req
247. your ritual.
Copy !req
248. All right,
it's show time.
Copy !req
249. Little tip: When
I strike you out,
Copy !req
250. take a step like
you're going to
charge the mound,
Copy !req
251. and I'll
stare you down.
Copy !req
252. I've gotten digits from
the ladies in the upper deck
Copy !req
253. when I break this out.
Copy !req
254. Ladies and gentlemen,
the Ace and his Jewels!
Copy !req
255. It always amazes me
how three can defeat ten.
Copy !req
256. I bet his
first pitch
Copy !req
257. is going to
be on stilts.
Copy !req
258. No, no.
On his knees!
Copy !req
259. Evening. I'm the Ace.
Copy !req
260. And I'll be your tour guide
on a magical trip
Copy !req
261. around this 12-inch world
I call softball.
Copy !req
262. First up for the Zephyrs:
Hank Hill.
Copy !req
263. Ready?
Copy !req
264. All aboard!
Copy !req
265. The Ace pitches,
and Hill bunts... to third base.
Copy !req
266. And he makes it to first safely.
Copy !req
267. What?
Copy !req
268. This is where I pitch by smell.
Copy !req
269. Luckily, my catcher hasn't
changed his socks all week.
Copy !req
270. Somebody please get him
a new pair of socks.
Copy !req
271. Okay, Boomhauer,
Copy !req
272. bring me home!
Copy !req
273. Bring me home!
Copy !req
274. Watch out.
The Ace is pitching blindly.
Copy !req
275. And the Zephyrs bunt
to third base.
Copy !req
276. Daddy,
make it be fun.
Copy !req
277. I ain't your daddy!
Copy !req
278. Oh, you're
talking to him.
Copy !req
279. What happened?
Copy !req
280. They bunted again.
Copy !req
281. Good Lord!
Copy !req
282. That's a live ball.
Copy !req
283. No one's ever
bunted before.
Copy !req
284. It looks like the Zephyrs
are taking advantage
Copy !req
285. of the Ace's confusion,
and they score.
Copy !req
286. You were right, Hank!
Copy !req
287. Maybe we can do this.
Copy !req
288. What are these
jackasses doing?
Copy !req
289. Don't worry,
Boomhauer.
Copy !req
290. I will bring you home!
Copy !req
291. He's going
to bunt again?
Copy !req
292. All right,
show's over.
Copy !req
293. Here it comes, fat man.
Copy !req
294. Stee-rike!
Copy !req
295. And the Ace
has shut down the Zephyrs.
Copy !req
296. Okay, folks, now it's fun time.
Copy !req
297. The Ace is up to bat.
Copy !req
298. All right!
Copy !req
299. And now the pitch.
Copy !req
300. Nice home run.
Copy !req
301. Not funny, but it went far.
Copy !req
302. Well, it looks like we made it
to the end, with the Ace 63
Copy !req
303. and the Zephyrs one.
Copy !req
304. Thank God it's finally over.
Copy !req
305. Of course, there will always
be the nightmares.
Copy !req
306. Now, we may have lost
Copy !req
307. our undefeated season,
but we gave those kids
Copy !req
308. their baseball program back.
Copy !req
309. And no defeat,
no matter how, uh...
Copy !req
310. thorough...
Copy !req
311. can change that.
Copy !req
312. Those of you who are left,
how about that game?
Copy !req
313. You certainly saw something you
can go home and reflect upon.
Copy !req
314. Anyhow, I hereby present
this check to the winner,
Copy !req
315. the Ace of Diamonds.
Copy !req
316. Hey, wait!
Copy !req
317. Where you going, Ace?
Copy !req
318. You're supposed to give
that money to the kids.
Copy !req
319. Isn't that the deal?
Copy !req
320. Well, if they play anything
like you guys,
Copy !req
321. they're better off without it.
Copy !req
322. The real losers Saturday night
were the fans.
Copy !req
323. What a travesty.
Copy !req
324. People took their families there
to have some fun,
Copy !req
325. and what did they see?
Copy !req
326. Hank Hill bunting and the Ace
taking batting practice.
Copy !req
327. It was ugly all right.
Copy !req
328. I put this one in Chad's
softball hall of shame.
Copy !req
329. Mm-hmm.
Copy !req
330. Why'd we ever think
we could take on
Copy !req
331. the Ace
and his Jewels?
Copy !req
332. Hank got me so fired up,
Copy !req
333. I was willing
to believe in anything...
Copy !req
334. even myself.
Copy !req
335. I guess
I got a bit carried away.
Copy !req
336. I've got to straighten this out
Copy !req
337. and get those kids
their money back.
Copy !req
338. Bill, if it's any
consolation,
Copy !req
339. I never believed
in you.
Copy !req
340. Hello, this is Hank Hill,
and I coach the Zephyrs.
Copy !req
341. Yes, those Zephyrs.
Copy !req
342. Listen, do you know where
the Ace is playing tonight?
Copy !req
343. No, I don't want to buy a
commemorative tour schedule.
Copy !req
344. Couldn't you just tell me
the name of the town?
Copy !req
345. It's a Visa.
Copy !req
346. Oh, look.
Copy !req
347. It's the Bunt Brothers.
Copy !req
348. Look, we're real sorry
about spoiling the fun.
Copy !req
349. We just wanted
to give you a real game,
Copy !req
350. you know,
show some pride.
Copy !req
351. I'm sure you can understand that
as a fellow athlete.
Copy !req
352. Fellow athlete?
Copy !req
353. I got my picture on some of that
gum that looks like tobacco.
Copy !req
354. How about you?
Copy !req
355. All right, I get it.
Copy !req
356. But let's just think
about the kids.
Copy !req
357. You always give
the winner's check to charity.
Copy !req
358. Yeah. And I always clear
a few grand in merchandise
Copy !req
359. and score
a little overnight company.
Copy !req
360. But thanks to your
boring little stunt,
Copy !req
361. the Ace slept alone last night
Copy !req
362. and has an RV full
of unsold bobbleheads.
Copy !req
363. You know what that's like
Copy !req
364. when I go over
a railroad crossing?
Copy !req
365. Okay, I admit, I screwed up,
Copy !req
366. but that's no reason to take it
out on a bunch of kids.
Copy !req
367. Just give us
another shot.
Copy !req
368. We'll take foolhardy leads
off first,
Copy !req
369. we'll swing at bad pitches,
whatever's funny.
Copy !req
370. Hmm. I'm a nice guy.
Copy !req
371. Maybe if you ask me
in baby talk.
Copy !req
372. Well, I don't see how
that could make a difference...
Copy !req
373. Oh, God.
Copy !req
374. Uh, can we, uh, pwease have
another shot, pwease?
Copy !req
375. Hmm... maybe.
Copy !req
376. Do you know
what you did wrong?
Copy !req
377. Uh... maybe we pwayed
too sewiouswy.
Copy !req
378. Well, let me think about it.
Copy !req
379. No.
Copy !req
380. I'm sorry, baby.
The spiced wine
Copy !req
381. should be hot
enough by now.
Copy !req
382. How about you?
Copy !req
383. Listen!
Copy !req
384. This isn't about you and me.
Copy !req
385. This is for the kids.
Copy !req
386. We had a deal.
Copy !req
387. So, a parking lot
attendant.
Copy !req
388. You ever park
one of these babies?
Copy !req
389. He can't just hide
in that damn RV and ignore us.
Copy !req
390. Yes, he can.
Copy !req
391. And when he gets bored,
he can just drive away.
Copy !req
392. Well, I'm not gonna let him.
Copy !req
393. Save your breath,
Hank.
Copy !req
394. The only thing
that could get him out of there
Copy !req
395. is a twister,
the RV's only predator.
Copy !req
396. Hope is a vessel
dashed upon the rocks of...
Copy !req
397. Oh, what's the point?
Copy !req
398. Wait! I know who
can send us a twister!
Copy !req
399. And with the help
from our Lor...
Copy !req
400. Oh, what's the point?
Copy !req
401. We're not giving up.
Copy !req
402. We just need to reach down deep
Copy !req
403. and grab what's already in
each and every one of us.
Copy !req
404. We've got grit,
guts and determination,
Copy !req
405. and we're gonna use them
Copy !req
406. to rock this damn RV
Copy !req
407. until he comes
running out of it.
Copy !req
408. Now, let's do this, Zephyrs.
Copy !req
409. Uh-oh. The hair on my back
is starting to tingle.
Copy !req
410. Your hair knows something
you're about to find out.
Copy !req
411. We're getting those kids
their money.
Copy !req
412. Now, come on, Bill.
Copy !req
413. Put your weight
in that fender.
Copy !req
414. It really moved.
Copy !req
415. Everyone, grab some aluminum.
Copy !req
416. Donna, take that wheel well.
Copy !req
417. Enrique, put your shoulder
into it.
Copy !req
418. Come on, go, go!
Copy !req
419. Ready, set, rock.
Copy !req
420. Believe to achieve!
Copy !req
421. Believe to achieve!
Copy !req
422. Believe to achieve!
Copy !req
423. Wha-What the...
Copy !req
424. Hey. Hey, stop it!
I'm entertaining.
Copy !req
425. You know, Ace, we can do this
in every town you play in.
Copy !req
426. I bought a commemorative tour
schedule from your wife.
Copy !req
427. Your wife?
Copy !req
428. So where are we going
tomorrow night?
Copy !req
429. Denton, then Fredericksburg,
then into Rumpert.
Copy !req
430. Why bother
even putting on cologne?
Copy !req
431. Okay, okay!
Copy !req
432. Take the check!
Copy !req
433. Just stop pushing my house!
Copy !req
434. Way to go, team.
Copy !req
435. Well, I guess that makes
the final score
Copy !req
436. Zephyrs one, Ace's house zero.
Copy !req
437. Well, those new uniforms
look pretty good,
Copy !req
438. I tell you what.
Copy !req
439. Maybe next year
Copy !req
440. we can raise even
more money
Copy !req
441. and get them fur coats
and top hats.
Copy !req
442. Ah, fundamentals.
Copy !req
443. I ain't your daddy!
Copy !req
