Coach McGuirk:
All right, listen up, that was a good game. We all showed up, and I'm proud of that.

Melissa Robbins:
Coach McGuirk, I was just wondering how come they cancelled the game after ten minutes?

Coach McGuirk:
Well, because we were losing by 20 goals, Melissa. It's called the Slaughter Rule. You know, Melissa, if we played the full game, we probably would have lost by a hundred goals. I don't know why I'm saying "we". I wasn't out there running around like it was the first time I ever used my legs! Melissa.

Melissa Robbins:
Okay!

Coach McGuirk:
You know, it's like when they stop a boxing match because the guy's 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 Robbins:
[whispers]... okay.
