1. ? [rock 'n' roll
music playing]
Copy !req
2. yeah, that was good.
Copy !req
3. !
oh! Ah
Copy !req
4. ooh!
Copy !req
5. that's what I like
about wrestlin'.
There aren't any rules.
Copy !req
6. You can do anything to a guy:
Copy !req
7. jump on him, stick
him with a pin,
Copy !req
8. the only limit is
your imagination.
Copy !req
9. Don't they have any girl
wrestlers in this game
?
Copy !req
10. no, but some of
the older ones
have some breasts.
Copy !req
11. Connie, that was
your mom on the phone.
Copy !req
12. She wants to make sure
you were doing your homework.
Copy !req
13. A-am I in trouble?
Copy !req
14. I don't think so.
Copy !req
15. I told her you were
busy "wrestling" with
some word problems.
Copy !req
16. oh, peggy.
Copy !req
17. Thanks, Mrs. Hill.
Copy !req
18. I guess I'd better
start my math homework
Copy !req
19. oh! That's gotta hurt!
Copy !req
20. thanks.
Copy !req
21. this is hill.
Copy !req
22. dust off your
gym skirt, peggy.
Copy !req
23. We need a sub
for girls' sports.
Copy !req
24. Location?
Copy !req
25. Tom landry middle school.
Copy !req
26. Duration?
Copy !req
27. Indefinite.
Copy !req
28. Did the previous
instructor leave
Copy !req
29. a lesson plan, calendar,
notes on a post-it?
Copy !req
30. Well, that's sort of
a funny story, actually.
Copy !req
31. See, there is no
previous girls' coach.
Copy !req
32. We sort of forgot
to hire one.
Copy !req
33. hmm.
Copy !req
34. So, where are you
stationed today, soldier?
Copy !req
35. Fort mathematics? Heh-heh.
Copy !req
36. No, today I'm teaching gym.
Copy !req
37. Whoo! Now, that's
serious, peggy.
Copy !req
38. Gym is where a boy
learns teamwork and
the importance of winning.
Copy !req
39. Actually, I'm
teaching girls' gym.
Copy !req
40. Oh! Oh!
Copy !req
41. Good luck to you. Do
I have a clean shirt?
Copy !req
42. Why choose basketball?
Copy !req
43. t
Well, for one thing,
it's the only spor
Copy !req
44. where you get
to bounce a ball.
Copy !req
45. You bounce a football—
Well, that's
a fumble, isn't it?
Copy !req
46. Baseball, no bouncing at all.
Copy !req
47. so, join the
basketball team.
Copy !req
48. Thank you.
Copy !req
49. cool.
Copy !req
50. A little staged, but
it's still pretty good.
Copy !req
51. Gentlemen, I'm
not going to try
to win you over
Copy !req
52. with a lot of fancy
talk about bouncing.
Copy !req
53. I just want you
to know one thing:
Copy !req
54. every kid who shows up
to wrestle will earn
a place on the team
Copy !req
55. and the right to wear this
Copy !req
56. wow, silver piping!
Copy !req
57. Good morning, class.
I am Mrs. Peggy hill,
or coach hill.
Copy !req
58. Now, we are offering you
girls a special program
Copy !req
59. which combines the
thrills of wrestling
Copy !req
60. with the skills
of basketball,
Copy !req
61. in somethin' we call
"general sports."
Copy !req
62. All right. Listen up.
Copy !req
63. Go on.
Copy !req
64. I want to start
by showing you
a basic move.
Copy !req
65. And I need a volunteer
Copy !req
66. you there.
Just come at me.
Copy !req
67. that's called a center-step,
single-leg attack.
Copy !req
68. ?
Now, what are you going to
do? Huh? Now what, big man
Copy !req
69. you gonna dump me? Huh
? You gonna pin me?
Copy !req
70. !
This'll teach you to
pull a knife on me
Copy !req
71. hard to stop a guy when you're hoppin' around
all day, huh, hoppy?
Copy !req
72. Huh? What?
Copy !req
73. All right, good job.
Copy !req
74. hmm.
Copy !req
75. I hear eddie tucker started patching
his driveway.
Copy !req
76. yep.
Copy !req
77. Uh-huh
Copy !req
78. where'd he get
his asphalt?
Copy !req
79. Johnson's.
Copy !req
80. dad, dad, guess what?
I joined a team.
Copy !req
81. A sports team?
Copy !req
82. Uh-huh. Wrestlin'. It's the best sport ever, dad.
Copy !req
83. There's no running
Copy !req
84. way to go, boy!
Copy !req
85. Wrestling's a damn fine sport.
Copy !req
86. Hell, it's an olympic sport.
Copy !req
87. And this is offered
through the school, right?
Copy !req
88. Not some guy in a van
with a camcorder?
Copy !req
89. It's the real thing.
Copy !req
90. I'm in a very advanced
weight class.
Copy !req
91. You hear that, guys?
Copy !req
92. Bobby made
a school team today,
Copy !req
93. without me even
being the coach.
Copy !req
94. Congratulations, hank.
Copy !req
95. (all)
whoo!
Copy !req
96. What are you here for?
Copy !req
97. Well, dooley, a preteen girl
is like a skinny little tree
Copy !req
98. about to enter
the hurricane
of adolescence.
Copy !req
99. And if we don't
protect and nurture
this little tree,
Copy !req
100. before you know it, she'll
be bitter and pregnant.
Copy !req
101. For that reason, I'm
asking the principal
Copy !req
102. for a new basketball
for the girls.
Copy !req
103. I peed in some kid's locker.
Copy !req
104. Girls' sports are a joke.
Copy !req
105. Yeah, if I just jim-jangle
my schedule a bit,
Copy !req
106. I think I can make it to
all of bobby's practices.
Copy !req
107. What a great time in
a boy's father's life!
Copy !req
108. Hank, what if
bobby was a girl?
Copy !req
109. Well, that's just it, peggy.
Copy !req
110. I don't think we have to
worry about that anymore.
Copy !req
111. Do you know what
that principal said
Copy !req
112. when I asked for more
basketballs for the girls?
Copy !req
113. He said that the
money was earmarked
Copy !req
114. to put holograms on ticket
s to the football games.
Copy !req
115. Holograms prevent
ticket fraud, peggy.
Copy !req
116. There's a lot of
sick people out there.
Copy !req
117. Well, it's just not fair.
Copy !req
118. It's like nothing has
changed since I was a kid.
Copy !req
119. can you run as
well as you can hit?
Copy !req
120. Yes, sir. I sure can.
Copy !req
121. Then run over to the
store and get these
boys some sody pop.
Copy !req
122. Thatta girl!
Copy !req
123. Yeah, boys love soda pop.
Copy !req
124. We got to remember
to bring some
to bobby's practice.
Copy !req
125. looking good, son.
Copy !req
126. You too, dad.
Copy !req
127. Uh, I wanted to give you
this before practice.
Copy !req
128. You know, you
might not be here if
it weren't for this cup.
Copy !req
129. It's made from the
finest american steel
Copy !req
130. ever to come out
of pittsburgh, pa.
Copy !req
131. This used to be mine,
and before that it
was your grandfather's.
Copy !req
132. There's holes in it.
Copy !req
133. How am I supposed
to drink out of this?
Copy !req
134. bobby, it's not for—
Copy !req
135. Gotcha!
Copy !req
136. rhythm, girls!
Copy !req
137. First you blow,
then you throw!
Copy !req
138. hit 'em high,
hit 'em low.
Copy !req
139. Landry, landry,
go, go, go!
Copy !req
140. Good spirit, hill.
Copy !req
141. Can I have some gatorade now?
Copy !req
142. Sure, kid. You're
sweating plenty.
Copy !req
143. Hey, connie.
How's it going?
Copy !req
144. Not so good.
Copy !req
145. I just found out we're
not getting uniforms.
Copy !req
146. You're better off.
Copy !req
147. We have home uniforms,
away uniforms...
Copy !req
148. It's so confusing.
Copy !req
149. Uh-huh.
Copy !req
150. Did you learn
the pile driver yet?
Copy !req
151. That's not really
a wrestlin' move.
Copy !req
152. Real wrestling
is about holds.
Copy !req
153. You got your head
locks, your leg locks,
your belly locks.
Copy !req
154. If you got it,
we'll lock it.
Copy !req
155. Here, I'll show you.
Copy !req
156. Cool.
Copy !req
157. There's no way out
Copy !req
158. try.
Copy !req
159. ?
you mean like that
Copy !req
160. no, you didn't
use real wrestling.
Copy !req
161. If you use wrestling,
it's impossible to get out.
Copy !req
162. But good try.
Copy !req
163. hill, doug here
needs some extra
room to scrimmage.
Copy !req
164. So, can you run
a posture drill
or somethin'?
Copy !req
165. Get the girls
against the wall?
Copy !req
166. No, I'm afraid
I cannot.
Copy !req
167. I am teaching
general sports here,
and I need a general area.
Copy !req
168. Oh, yeah.
Copy !req
169. General sports was somethin'
doug here came up with.
Copy !req
170. Hey, it's like home
economics, sort of a code
word for "busy work."
Copy !req
171. But the one thing
general sports was
not meant to do,
Copy !req
172. and doug can back
me up on this,
is take up space.
Copy !req
173. Ok, then.
Copy !req
174. I'm expanding my needs.
Copy !req
175. General sports is
now total sports.
Copy !req
176. And I need the whole gym
and all the equipment,
Copy !req
177. and doug can back
me up on that.
Copy !req
178. it's over, Mrs. Hill.
Copy !req
179. maybe sports wasn'
t such a good idea.
Copy !req
180. Maybe I should do
yearbook instead,
or chess club.
Copy !req
181. Connie, don't you say that.
Copy !req
182. Yearbook is a shameful,
squalid waste of time.
Copy !req
183. Now, you just tell me
what sport you want to play,
Copy !req
184. and I will make
sure you play it.
Copy !req
185. ?
What if it's not
a girls' sport
Copy !req
186. oh, pooh! There's no such
thing as boys' or girls'
sports. There's just sports.
Copy !req
187. Then I want to wrestle
Copy !req
188. well then, we will
show those coaches
Copy !req
189. there's nothing a boy
can do that a girl can't.
Copy !req
190. Go ahead.
Punch it!
Copy !req
191. look at that!
Pig in a blanket.
Copy !req
192. And my bobby is th
e chef, not the weenie.
Copy !req
193. all right, ladies,
hit the showers.
Copy !req
194. And no oklahoma
car washes, neither.
Copy !req
195. Get your hair wet.
Copy !req
196. What are you doing here?
Copy !req
197. Shouldn't you be
teaching the girls
about their monthlies?
Copy !req
198. Uh, no, not today, coach.
Copy !req
199. Today, I'm teaching
a lesson in fairness.
Copy !req
200. I have someone here
who would like to
join the wrestling team.
Copy !req
201. And her name is
kahn souphanousinphone jr.
Copy !req
202. Does she speak
the english language?
Copy !req
203. Well, of course
she speaks english
Copy !req
204. well then, tell
her wrestling's
a boy's sport
Copy !req
205. and that's final.
Copy !req
206. Oh, ho, ho, ho.
No, it's not.
Copy !req
207. Title 9 of
the civil rights act clearly
prohibits sex discrimination
Copy !req
208. in public schools
and guarantees equal
athletic opportunities
Copy !req
209. for all boys and girls.
Copy !req
210. Yeah, well, roe v. Wad
e doesn't apply to
my wrestling team.
Copy !req
211. Oh, I think you'll
find it does apply.
Copy !req
212. Come on, connie.
Copy !req
213. Mrs. Hill,
isn't roe v. Wade—
Copy !req
214. Yeah, I know, dear
, but you have to
pick your battles.
Copy !req
215. It was nice of you to
come by, peggy hill.
Copy !req
216. And you can stay
until you finish
your zinfandel.
Copy !req
217. But wrestling
is a boys' sport.
Connie might get hurt.
Copy !req
218. Oh, boys are given
the opportunity to
get hurt all the time.
Copy !req
219. Connie deserves
the same chance.
Copy !req
220. If connie gonna get a workout,
should be up here.
Copy !req
221. Build mental toughness
to get into good college.
Copy !req
222. Hire former wrestlers
to pave her driveway.
Copy !req
223. Dad, maybe being on
the wrestling team can
help me get into harvard.
Copy !req
224. Remember how
disappointed you were
with my application essay?
Copy !req
225. You said my first draf
t lacked life experience
Copy !req
226. she right. Connie play
violin, sculpt with metal
Copy !req
227. and speak 3 languages.
But what set her apart?
Copy !req
228. I thought being
smart person in
texas set her apart.
Copy !req
229. Maybe that not enough.
Copy !req
230. I'm sure wrestling will have
a wonderful effect on connie.
Copy !req
231. Ever since my bobby
joined the team,
Copy !req
232. I've seen marked improvements
in his social skills
and in his balance.
Copy !req
233. Wait a minute.
Bobby hill is your son?
Copy !req
234. Very good. You follow
trail of clues
Copy !req
235. that start with
same last name.
Copy !req
236. Where you find this
guy? Scotland yard?
Copy !req
237. ,
Mr. Solinfonissinphone
Copy !req
238. I'm—I'm sure
there's a simple
solution to all this.
Copy !req
239. Perhaps you could persuade
your lovely little gal
to take gymnastics.
Copy !req
240. Asian girls usually
excel at gymnastics.
Copy !req
241. I mean, with their
tiny little feet,
Copy !req
242. balance beam seems
as wide as a sidewalk.
Copy !req
243. Kahn jr., you want
to take gymnastics?
Copy !req
244. Gymnastics blows.
Copy !req
245. You heard her.
If my girl
doesn't wrestle,
Copy !req
246. I'll show you who
put the "sue" in
souphanousinphone.
Copy !req
247. Cherry is strictly
an after-wrestling gatorade.
Copy !req
248. But lemon-lime
is good any time.
Copy !req
249. All right,
tinkerbells, listen up
We got a situation here.
Copy !req
250. t
The girls' gym sub has
got a bee in her bonne
Copy !req
251. about co-eding our team.
Copy !req
252. Long story short,
we got a gal on deck.
Copy !req
253. (all)
oh!
Copy !req
254. I know, I know. But there'
s nothing we can do.
Copy !req
255. It all goes back to title 9,
dick nixon's biggest mistake.
Copy !req
256. Now, I know I told you
there's a place on this team
Copy !req
257. for all comers
, but now
Copy !req
258. I'm not so sure
everybody's going
to make the team.
Copy !req
259. hey, bobby! Did you hear?
Copy !req
260. Your mom is gonna get me
on the wrestling team.
Copy !req
261. Now we can han
g out all afternoon
Copy !req
262. and my mom won't care
'cause it's practice.
Copy !req
263. Shh! I can't remember
my combination
when you're talking.
Copy !req
264. ok.
Copy !req
265. This could take a while.
Copy !req
266. oh.
Copy !req
267. ok.
Copy !req
268. Mom made the coach
take connie on
the wrestling team,
Copy !req
269. and now he's
out to get me.
Copy !req
270. Oh, no! We were so close.
Copy !req
271. It's all well and good
to talk about equal rights
Copy !req
272. until some man loses his
job. How's that equal?
Copy !req
273. Yeah. And it's worse
when they take away
our favors
Copy !req
274. 'cause we're used
to gettin' 'em.
Copy !req
275. Now, hold on, hank
Copy !req
276. I'm all for ladies wrestling,
Copy !req
277. except when they
do it in puddin'.
Copy !req
278. That's just demeaning
to the human beings
who make puddin'.
Copy !req
279. Ever since they had
that big women's
conference in beijing,
Copy !req
280. co-ed sports has been
the number-2 priority
Copy !req
281. on the international
feminite agenda.
Copy !req
282. ?
You want to know what
the number-one priority is
Copy !req
283. please, not right now, dale.
Copy !req
284. Co-ed bathrooms.
Copy !req
285. it will be a cold
day in hell
Copy !req
286. before we institute that
in the gribble home.
Copy !req
287. Bobby was on the verge
of getting a nickname.
Copy !req
288. I thought you
were keeping busy
Copy !req
289. teaching girls how to
blow up basketballs.
Copy !req
290. When did this
turn into a desire
to ruin wrestling?
Copy !req
291. Oh, gimme a break.
I don't see why having a girl
on the team would ruin it.
Copy !req
292. Did a woman judge ruin
the supreme court, huh?
Copy !req
293. Yes. And that woman's
name was earl warren.
Copy !req
294. take a seat, debutantes.
I got an announcement.
Copy !req
295. Because of
unprecedented interest
in wrestling this year,
Copy !req
296. I decided to hold
tryouts on friday.
Copy !req
297. Instead of a guarantee
d spot on the team,
Copy !req
298. this year, it'll b
e based on ability.
Copy !req
299. I know it isn't fair.
Copy !req
300. But, apparently,
that's what some peopl
e like to call "progress."
Copy !req
301. First match,
kaiser versus gutierrez,
Copy !req
302. fino versus mcjimsy,
Copy !req
303. souphanousinphone
versus hill.
Copy !req
304. you got her into this,
peggy hill. You can't
abandon connie now.
Copy !req
305. She need help.
She need training.
Copy !req
306. Oh, I want to, minh.
I feel responsible
Copy !req
307. t
connie is picking
up the softball ba
Copy !req
308. that was ripped ou
t of my hands as a girl
Copy !req
309. by that little man
from the little league
Copy !req
310. but then bobby,
bobby's my only son. I—I
don't know if I could choose.
Copy !req
311. Choose connie.
Copy !req
312. But bobby's my only—
Copy !req
313. That not my problem.
Choose connie.
Copy !req
314. Oh, what do I do?
What do I do?
Copy !req
315. Choose connie.
Choose connie.
Copy !req
316. Ok. We try "outsid
e ankle breakdown."
Copy !req
317. Luanne, try to stop me
Copy !req
318. connie, you got
the 4-color pen?
You take good note this time.
Copy !req
319. bill, for crying out loud!
Copy !req
320. I was listenin'.
Copy !req
321. Wrestling a girl. That's
a tough one, bobby.
Copy !req
322. If you win, you get the shame
of having beat up a girl.
Copy !req
323. If you lose,
you just better hope
she snaps your neck.
Copy !req
324. That's the quickest way.
Copy !req
325. Yeah, man. Dang ol'
danged if you do,
danged if you don't.
Copy !req
326. Dad, what am I gonna do?
Copy !req
327. I'm danged here.
I'm royally danged.
Copy !req
328. Now, the key to wrestling
is the ability to explode.
Copy !req
329. The way I figure it,
Copy !req
330. if you can
explode your way out
Copy !req
331. of underneath
the piece of wet carpet,
Copy !req
332. you can beat any 12-year-old
in the county.
Copy !req
333. All right, here we go.
Copy !req
334. 1, 2, 3.
Copy !req
335. explode!
Copy !req
336. Explode, boy!
Come on, bobby,
light the fuse.
Copy !req
337. You're a keg of dynamite!
Copy !req
338. That's it, boy.
You got him
where you want him.
Copy !req
339. time to really explode!
Copy !req
340. keg of dynamite!
Copy !req
341. Hey, hill!
Copy !req
342. A bunch of us decided
Copy !req
343. that if you don't
beat that girl tomorrow,
Copy !req
344. we don't know
what we'll do.
Copy !req
345. So you'd better beat her.
Copy !req
346. Guys, there's no
way I can lose.
Copy !req
347. I'm in the best
shape of my life.
Copy !req
348. Hey, there she is.
Copy !req
349. Watch this
Copy !req
350. how are you doing, connie?
Copy !req
351. can we please just forget
I ever said anything
Copy !req
352. about this stupid
wrestling thing?
Copy !req
353. What? No!
Copy !req
354. I go out on a giant
limb for you, kahn jr.
Copy !req
355. If you lose, you
no longer my son.
Copy !req
356. "why don't you edit
the yearbook, peggy?
Copy !req
357. you're so good
