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