- Under no circumstances
are you to release it.
- Of course.
- Because you know what would happen.
- Ho, ho, ho.
- Do you understand?
- Yes, sir, I understand.
- Promise?
- Have no fear.
That's my girl.
Go Medfield!
Okay.
Good evening, everybody,
and welcome to Rutland Arena...
for the 86th meeting of the Rutland
Rangers and the Medfield Squirrels.
Rutland, if they can just
stay awake, should be able...
to steamroll the Squirrels
here tonight at the--
All right, Squirrels,
Iisten up here now.
Okay, Rutland may have us
in height and reach,
weight and power,
agility, speed and talent.
They have the advantage
on offence...
and defence.
Sure, they're-they're
better coached,
better trained,
and their will to win is
unmatched in the conference.
They're undefeated
in their last...
one hundred and eight games.
But that doesn't mean we can't
whip these guys. Right?
- Yeah!
- Ohh!
Rutland! Rangers!
Rutland! Rangers!
Okay, flubber, it's time
that you and l...
got to know each other.
Ow!
Another easy basket
for the Rutland Rangers.
They have built up a commanding
lead in the first half.
- Evening, Sara.
- Excuse me?
What a coincidence.
Dunk it! Dunk it!
Take it!
Come on, you guys!
You gotta do--
Not now, Ernie! Not now!
Go Medfield!
- Ow!
- Oh, sorry. Sorry, Wilson.
See if you can get me
another ten grand on Rutland.
- You got a problem, Bennett?
- You're betting against my team?
It's not your team. They
threw you off, remember that?
Ooh. Oh, baby.
That's gotta hurt.
He fouled him!
He threw his hip into that!
Flubber? Flubber!
Where are you?
Mambo
Mambo!
Yeah!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey! Hey!
Hey! Hey! Hey!
Yeah!
Yeah!
Welcome back to Rutland Arena
for half number two.
The Medfield Squirrels tonight
are getting their nuts buried,
trailing by 51 at intermission.
If Coach Barker has any sense,
he has to be thinking forfeiture--
...for half number two.
Come on, boys.
Expect the unexpected.
Dale. Come on now, son.
You can do it.
Come on, Bruce. There we go.
Werner, be a flying squirrel!
Bart, the impossible's possible.
Come on, Lawrence!
- Rodents rule!
- Loser!
Show time.
Keep going! Open!
Oh!
- Yeah! Get 'em!
- Come on!
- Defence, defence!
- Come on!
- That's pretty good.
Yeah!
Okay! Go! Beat them! Let's go!
Oh!
- Yes! Yes!
- Gosh! We've never--
Yeah! Did you see that?
Did you see that, Dad? Yes!
What the--
We did it!
Wow! Wow!
Hey, are you blind? They're doin'
something illegal out there.
Coach, nowhere in the rule book does
it say anything about jumpin' too high.
Now sit down!
Looks like a lonely weekend
in the mountains for you, Croft.
Come on, Squirrels!
Yea!
Did you see that, Croft?
Down, down!
Yes!
Yeah, yeah!
A tack.
Oh. Dale!
No!
Dale! Not the tacks!
- I don't know.
- Okay, now, this game is not over yet.
You just wanna steal the ball
and then score!
Pardon me, boys.
Educator coming through.
Coach, I know very little about
basketball, but I do know chemistry.
And l-l believe that Dale is having
a problem, not with motivations,
but with some sort of adhesive buildup
on the bottom of his shoes.
- Do you have any ethyl alcohol?
- What?
- Excuse me. Hello, Dale.
- Coach.
- Oh, hello, Professor Brainard.
- May I see your sole?
- Wh--
- I mean, the bottom of your shoe.
- Oh, oh.
Now, the game's not over yet. Keep your
chin up and your potential energy high.
'Cause you know why, Dale?
Son of a--
Get the ball.
Jump with all your soul.
B-- But l'm
on this end, sir. I--
Jump! Or l'll flunk you.
- Uh-- What?
- You heard me.
Jump, or l'll flunk you out
of my department for good.
Okay.
I think that's
a little harsh, but--
- Jump!
- A-T-T-A-C-K!
The Medfield Squirrels are trying
to complete this astonishing comeback.
- Nice and patient, Rutland.
Plenty of time, baby.
- Rutland has the lead
with the clock winding down.
