McGuirk: Now listen up. That was a good game. You all showed up, and I'm proud of that.
Melissa: Coach McGuirk, I was just wondering, how come they canceled the game after ten minutes?
McGuirk: Well, because we were losing by twenty goals, Melissa. It's called the slaughter rule. You know, Melissa, if we played the full game, we'd probably would have lost by hundreds goals. I don't know why I'm saying "we." I wasn't out there running around like it was the first time I'd ever used my legs...Melissa.
Melissa: Okay.
McGuirk: You know, it's like when they stop a boxing match because the guy is bleeding too much. You know, all cut up. Only this was worse. I mean, fractured jaws get wired shut. Broken noses become badges of courage...Melissa.
Melissa: Okay.
McGuirk: But to loose by twenty goals in ten minutes is...oh forget it. You played a good game.
(Everybody cheers)
