Well, it's hard to say, my friend. Once you go in, you may never come out.
|
Wow! One please.
|
Where do you think you're going?
|
To the game.
|
No, no, no! I don't want you to see me sitting on my butt.
|
We've seen it, dad.
|
Mattingly, for the last time, get rid of those sideburns!
|
Look, Mr. Burns. I don't know what you think sideburns are, but...
|
Don't argue with me! Just get rid of them.
|
Smithers, it's almost game time. Where the devil are my ringers?
|
Sir, Mike Socioscia may not live through the night. Steve Sax is looking at six consecutive life sentences. And Ozzie Smith seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.
|
What about Conseco?
|
The dryer goes on the right.
|
Yes ma'am.
|
What about Clemens?
|
Sir... he's in no condition to play.
|
Brock, bock, bock, bock. Brock, bock, bock, bock.
|
That damn hypnotist!
|
You, look what you've done! My starting pitcher thinks he's a chicken! Make no mistake, I'm going to report this to the American Hypnotical Association.
|
But I did a good job... a gooood job.
|
Oh well, I guess it's not your fault... you did a good job.
|
Mattingly, I thought I told you to trim those sideburns. Go home! You're off the team! For good!
|
Fine. I still like him better than Steinbrenner.
|
All right, you rag-tag bunch of misfits. You hate me, and I hate you even more. But without my beloved ringers, you're all I've got. So I want you to remember some inspiring things that someone else may have told you in the course of your lives, and go out there and win!
|
Not so fast, Simpson.
|
The man who plays your position is still here. Hit the pine.
|
You stink Strawberry. We want Home-run Homer!
|
Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl.
|
Dar-ryl, Dar-ryl.
|
Children, that's not very nice.
|
Mom, they're professional athletes. They're used to this sort of thing. It rolls right off their backs.
|
All right, Monty, it's up to you managerial skills. What to do. Smithers, massage my brain.
|
Yes, sir.
|
You! Strawberry, hit a home run.
|
Okay, Skip!
|
I told him to do that.
|
Brilliant strategy, sir.
|
Oh, dear.
|
Children, tell me when your father stops scratching himself. Kids?
|
We'll tell ya, mom.
|
All right, tie game. Bottom of the ninth, two outs, bases loaded, Strawberry coming up...
|
They're gonna win the championship, no thanks to me.
|
Wait! You! Strawberry! Good effort today. Take a lap and hit the showers. I'm putting in a right-handed batter to hit for you.
|
You're pinch-hitting for me?
|
Yes. You see, you're a left-hander. And so is the pitcher. If I send up a right-handed batter, it's called playing the percentages. It's what smart managers do to win ballgames.
|
But I've got nine home runs today.
|
You should be very proud of yourself. Sit down! Simpson! You're batting for Strawberry.
|
I am? Whoo-hoo!
|
Atta boy, Homer.
|
You can do it.
|
Brock, bock, bock, bock, bock!
|
All right, Simpson, let's go over the signals.
|
If I tug the bill of my cap like so...
|
...it means the signal is a fake.
|
However, I can take that off by dusting my hands thusly.
|
Got it.
|
If I want you to bunt, I will touch my belt buckle not once, not twice, but thrice...
|
Got that Simpson?
|
Yes, sir!
|
Now batting for Darryl Strawberry, Homer Simpson.
|
Oh, dear.
|
No mom, it counts as a hit. Dad just won the game.
|
Ohh, well, I guess he'll be happy when he comes to.
|
We won! We won! All right!
|
Lurleen.

Wait till next year. If I'm still alive.
|
Good one, Lenny.
|
Magnificent, simply magnificent.
|
You from outta town?
|
Have you been to the Museum of Barnyard Oddities yet?
|
No! Where is it?
|
Oh, here, gimme the map. I'll show you.
|
Like this, Skip?
|
Oh, you're a manager's dream, Strawberry.
|
Smithers, it's almost game time. Where the devil are my ringers?
|
Sir, Mike Scioscia may not live through the night. Steve Sax is looking at six consecutive life sentences. And Ozzie Smith seems to have vanished off the face of the earth.
|
Now, class, I promised you a surprise today...
|
I knew it.
|
...And here it is. We're going to take a test.
|
We're going to take a test.
|
All right! A test!
|
It's called the Career Aptitude Normalizing Test, or "CANT".
|
Some of you may discover a wonderful vocation you never even imagined. Others may find out life isn't fair. In spite of your Masters from Bryn-mawr, you might end up a glorified baby-sitter to a bunch of dead-eyed fourth graders while your husband runs naked on a beach with your marriage counselor.
|
First question: "If I could be any animal, I would be A) A Carpenter Ant; B) A Nurse Shark; or C) A Lawyer Bird."
|
Question sixty: I prefer the smell of A) Gasoline; B) French Fries; or C) Bank Customers."
|
Well, that was a waste of time.
|
Janey, school is never a waste of time.
|
Since we have fifteen minutes until recess, please put down your pencils and stare at the front of the room.
|
Here for the tests.
|
C'mon Emma.
|
Here's your scientifically selected career --
|
Architect.
|
Mm, hm.
|
Insurance salesman.
|
Mm, hm.
|
Salmon gutter?

Military strongman.
