with only a few seconds remaining.

There's a pass on the blue line. Intercepted by Gordon Bombay. Bombay off

He's got it right the way. Off the blue line. All along for the chase. With the

game. Pulled down from behind by Fox with the loop.

Fox definitely pulled it down from behind and this would be yes.

All right, Gordon.

It's up to you.

I don't want to see any goats around here after the game. You got it?

Now, you missed this shot.

You're not just letting me down. You're letting your whole team down, too.

week state championship now rests on the little shoulders of number nine

All my client did was attempt to give you what you wanted.

Isn't that right?

This man put his neck on the line for your greed.

Objection, Your Honor. Will both counselors approach the bench?

I don't have anything to tell you. I just want to make them wait. So nod like

I'm saying something important.

Mr. Bombay! Gordon, what are you doing?

Get out there and be my lawyer. Perfect.

He just drives them nuts, and I love it.

Nice tie, Frank.

You wore that yesterday, didn't you? Oh, Mr. Bombay, I'm so glad you could make

it. Please restrict yourself to relevant cross -examination.

Your Honor, the applicability of societal intent vis -à -vis individual

is well established.

I'm citing Minneapolis v. Higgins, in which the appellate court overruled a

judge.

who disallowed similar testimony.

Now, if I'm not mistaken, that was... you.

Wasn't it, Judge Weathers?

I stand corrected, Counselor.

Objection overruled. Oh, you really stooped to an all -time low on this one,

Bombay. I'm insulted by that, Frank. You have no idea how low I can stoop. I

mean, I don't mind losing. I would just like to lose fair. Losing fair is still

losing, Frank.

Gotta go for the W every time. And what about justice?

I mean, that man, he should be in jail. It was your job to put him there, so

don't take it out on me.

Next time, do your job, Frankie boy.

30 -0, I remain undefeated. What about the Frazier case? We don't count that

one. Why?

Because I scored with the court reporter.

The one you said had the intelligent body. The one?

No calls on the duck phone? Not yet.

What's he waiting for?

I saw him in the back of the courtroom. How about some kudos here, huh? By the

way, Mr. Talbert dropped off a couple of ringside seats for tonight's North

Stars game. Hockey?

Forget it. Gordon, here's the research for the Pearlstein project.

Can you get started?

Jane, can't you see I'm reveling here? Today I'm 30 and 0.

30 and 1.

Tight, Ginny. Don't speak.

Mr. Bombay's office.

Yeah.

Duxworth. You're right, he wanted to see you.

Thank you very much.

Mr. Duxworth.

It was nothing, Mr. Duxworth.

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. Mr. Duxworth.

Gordon.

Another fine job today.

Thank you, sir.

Just one thing.

Score.

Don't spike.

I'm not sure I understand what you mean, sir.

This is a business.

It isn't a game.

Next time, a little restraint might be in order.

Wife, please.

Could you turn down the stereo?

Sure.

I guess it was a little noisy.

A whittle?

Okay, I'm taking you down the precinct. Breath, blood, or urine?

No thanks, I'm full.

Okay, out of the car now.

The charges against Mr. Bombay are driving under the influence, driving

open container and reckless endangerment.

To think I almost stayed home this morning.

I assume you're representing yourself.

Twelve moving violations in three years. How do you still have a license?

Okay, let's talk business. What am I facing?

Suspension of license?

Fines? What? Yes, unless the DA's office will allow you to plead guilty to

lesser charges, but that's solely up to the prosecutor.

The city of Minneapolis does not wish to pursue a plea bargain in this case,

Your Honor.

I've got to go for the W, right, Gordo?

The defendant is released on his own recognizance.

Mr. Duxworth, what are you doing here?

I own the place.

How about you?

Just going over a few cases, RICO statute stuff.

Oh, I thought you might be researching your defense against DUI.

reckless endangerment.

Did you think I wouldn't find out, Gordon?

There was no reason to concern you with it, sir. They have no case.

Frank Cuddy just wants my scalp.

I found a loophole. I'm going to plead not guilty. Gordon, stop it.

There's not going to be a loophole.

There's not going to be a trial.

I am not going to have you drag this firm's good name through the mud.

I've talked to Judge Weathers, and he has agreed to suspend the disposition of

your case.

Under what conditions?

Probation. Suspension of your driver's license and 500 hours of community

service. And a leave of absence from the firm.

A leave of absence?

He can't do that. He can't stop me from working. He's not. I am.

That was my condition.

Gordon, you need a break.

You're too wrapped up in your work.

Sir, my work is my life.

That's just my point.

The community service will do you good. It'll teach you compassion, a sense of

fair play, how to fit in.

service is horrible, you'll get used to it. And hopefully you'll come back a

better person and a better attorney, which is why I'm keeping you on salary

have arranged a driver for you.

Well, you know, in the early 70s, I drove the tour bus for the Grand Funk

Railroad. Man, that was the life.

Chicks, parties, amps cranked up to about 8 jillion decibels.

Doctors said all that loud music damaged my hearing, but I got no regrets except

for the 80s.

How do you do this?

Community service.

Coaching pod.

I found one! I'm coming out!

You've only found something for once in your life.

Dumpster Dave comes through.

Oh, what do you think?

Lovely carpet.

Goes with your eyes.

Please, you want to take that from him, Carl? No, it might be a bust your head,

Averyman. Thanks, Peter.

Thanks very much.

Did you get it? Yeah.

All right.

I told you to keep you warm, buddy. The warmer the better.

I can't believe the can's cool.

See Sniff?

He sniffs again.

Looking for that perfect place.

He sniffs some more.

Get it, girls. Get it.

He's got to be around here someplace.

Just look for a sign that says personal hell.

How could he do this to me? I hate kids.

They're barely human.

Over here.

Keep it down, please.

Hey, please, come on. Hey, buddy. There's no need for this. Let's talk.

I'm your friend, aren't I? Come on, Goldberg. At least try to stop it.

I'm getting tired of chasing the puck.

Be careful, man. It almost hit me that time.

Goldberg, you're the... Goalie, it's supposed to hit you. Does that sound

to anyone else?

Good God.

It's the hockey team.

Drive out on the ice.

It'll be all right.

Yo,

dude. You obviously in the wrong hood.

This is my dominion. This is a drug -free zone, you understand?

We ain't buying nothing.

I'm feeling generous today.

So I'm gonna let you get your side vanilla booty out of here before we be

your eyeballs as hockey pucks.

Thanks, bro.

But I'm not going home till I take care of business.

Just a five peewee hockey team.

I'm Gordon Bombay. I'm the new coach.

Afraid so, dude.

Got the roster right here.

Averman, Dave, Conway, Charlie, Paul, Terry.

Now here's the long and the short of it.

I hate hockey and I don't like kids.

It was supposed to be a pep talk.

Look, I'm sure this will be a real bonding experience.

Maybe one day one of you will even write a book about it in jail.

Funny. Is there a goalie?

Only for a little while. I'm moving back to Chile. Thank you for sharing that.

Get out on the ice. Let me see what you can do.

Uh, just so you know, you really suck. Hey, I'll decide who sucks around here.

No.

So what's our record anyway?

0 -9.

We're almost pretty close, though. We only lost by five. And we almost scored

goal, too.

So what do we do now?

What did your old coach have you do?

He just yelled a lot. Yeah, that's how he hurt his arm. His arm?

Yeah, women need to be yelling at us.

You little bastards!

We're not going to play!

Oh, you suckers! You little bastards!

All right, look, I gotta make a phone call.

Keep scrimmaging. You, you, you, you, and you against, uh, you four.

Hey, we got names, you know. I'm sure you do. And I bet they're very nice

I might even learn them. For now, I'll be in my office.

Oh, and if you need anything, fax me.

What a chump.

What are they talking to these coaches anyways?

They weren't impressed with my kids, right?

Can we check his qualifications or something?

Well, Jeannie, who told you not to give me my messages?

Duxworth? Well, then who's handling my cases?

Jane?

Are you kidding me?

She's out of law school one year. She's not qualified to handle...

the upholstery!

Cops will let us.

It's not going to crack. Who the hell do you think you are? I'm Gordon Bombay,

the new hockey coach.

The new coach?

They send you over here to coach the team, and you endanger their lives.

What danger? Look, I grew up on the ice. I know when it's safe to drive on. How

do you know? I just know, all right?

Well, listen, Mr. Zen Master, you may be in tune with the ice universe, but when

it comes to my kid, I just know doesn't cut it.

Charlie, let's go.

This practice is over.

Sorry, my mom ruined it, guys.

Coach,

want to be at the game tomorrow?

By order of the state of Minnesota?

Yeah.

Oh.

My first game, and it had to be hard.

Gordon?

Gordon Pompey.

Coach Riley.

We're both adults now. Why don't you just call me Jack?

Hey.

Come back to see your old coach, huh?

Well, actually, I'm coaching.

He -Wing.

District 5 team.

No kidding.

You got a kid on the team or something?

No, I'm here because I...

You need to be of service to the community.

How about this, huh? Who ever thought we'd be coaching against each other?

Yeah, who thought?

So, who's your hot shot player this year?

Anyone good?

Oh, I got a kid named Banks, Michael, all the way.

Not quite as good as you were.

But he wants it more.

Kid won't give up.

Oh, boy.

I wish they would take that one down.

Don't you?

Well, good luck.

You're going to need it.

It's up to you, Gordon.

You missed this shot.

You're not just letting me down, you're letting your whole team down, too.

I wish your dad could be here to see that.

Make him proud of you.

Win! Win!

Win! Win! Win!

Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win! Win!

Win! Win!

The Oreo line?

Hey, you guys, come on. Let's play hockey.

Everman! It's hockey.

There's no batter.

Idiot.

All right

How many times do I have to tell you? Get those rebounds. Get your heads up.

those loose pucks.

Just get the hell out of here.

All right.

Bad way to screw up.

Keep swinging. Maybe you'll give him a cold.

Hey, hey, hey. Knock it off. Knock it off. Against this team, we should have

twice as many.

Now let's run it up.

Remember, it's not worth it.

We need a new goalie.

All right, all right. Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey. Knock it off. Knock

off. That was a lousy third period. Anybody could beat these Panthers. I

you guys to stay hungry out there.

All right, nice going, Banks.

New Hawks record.

Okay, boys, let's go. Let's go.

You guys stink.

I thought we came here to play hockey.

You know, I knew we forgot something.

What, you think it's funny?

You think losing is funny?

Well, not at first, but once you get the hang of it.

We're the ones out there getting our butts kicked. Yeah, it's not like you

us or anything.

At least we try.

You didn't listen to a word I said.

I said keep your heads up, you put your heads down. I said hustle, you went

floor. That was the sloppiest playing I've ever seen.

Why the hell don't you just listen to me?

Why the hell should we?

I don't care.

Want to lose? Fine.

You're the ones who look like idiots out there.

to fuck each.

Hey, guys. Work it over. Forget it, Carp. I can see this every day on MTV.

Hey, guys. I'm from Minneapolis.

Pinky, look.

It's your mom.

Worst breath?

You gonna let him call you worst breath?

Now say it again.

One more dive, I forfeit to the Jets.

What? I'm insulted by that.

hits you in the corner like that, I want you to grab your eye, like a cut, and

then hit the eye.

Got it?

Go.

Face up. Come on, coach.

Okay, even it up, boys. Here we go.

matter with you. When I tell you to do something, you do it.

You got it?

Look at me.

You got it?

You can't make me cheat.

Jesse, Terry, let's go.

This is what I gave up my overtime pay for?

To see my kids taking falls?

How did you know?

Through the back door, this time of night.

Just like you used to.

You'd spend hours watching me do this.

What do you think?

Is this sharp enough?

Did you cut yourself?

No.

You owe yourself for that.

God, you're morbid, Hans.

Oh, I'm Scandinavian.

It's nice to see you.

Sure, sure, sure.

You probably thought I was dead.

I saw you at the game the other night.

Why didn't you say anything?

So busy screaming at the kids.

I didn't want to spoil the moment.

Everything's the same.

Well, the game hasn't changed.

I guess you missed all.

I heard you became a doctor.

Lawyer. That's too bad.

Enjoy that.

Well, I'd hardly ever lose a case.

That is not what I asked.

Hmm. I see you still have this up.

Thanks very much.

It is important to remember the past.

I'd just as soon forget it.

It was the worst time of my life.

My dad died that year.

The two were not related.

I would have felt like they were.

Found this not long ago.

He was proud of you.

I miss him.

You scored 198 goals in that season, Gordon.

It's a shame you quit.

Could have gone all the way. No.

You really love to play.

You remember.

You remember, I used to play on the ponds that left the dark until your

called you back.

But you really flew on that ice, Gordon.

That's all I ever wanted to do.

Then why did you stop?

Riley, I thought I did to you.

Riley, an idiot.

The guy wins.

It's not about winning, Gordon. It never was.

Just show them how to play. Show them how to have fun.

Teach them to fly.

And that is what they'll remember long after you've gone back to being a

Lawyer.

And long after they've stopped buying skates from me.

Here.

There you are.

Sharp and laced, ready to go.

What's this?

Your new skates.

That is why you came here tonight, isn't it?

I figured nine and a half was your size.

Oh. Actually I'm a nine.

Wear thick socks Gordon.

Enjoy them.

Come on, let's go inside, huh?

It's getting late.

Please just go away.

Charlie doesn't want to be on the team anymore and neither he nor I have

anything to say to you. Well, I have something to say to you.

Oh, really?

Door -to -door mistreatment now. Now the team can feel miserable between games

too, huh?

I came to apologize to Charlie.

To both of you.

What?

Apologize.

Well, you should.

Charlie!

Somebody's here to see you.

Hey, Charlie. How you doing?

I was just walking around thinking and... Can you give us a

minute?

Thank you.

Listen, it was very wrong of me to ask you and the other guys to cheat.

And I never should have said what I said to you. I was angry, I was frustrated,

and it took a lot of guts for you to do what you knew was right.

I admire that.

And, uh, I just wanted to tell you that, uh, that I'm...

Oh, boy, this is difficult.

I'm... You're sorry. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry, all right?

Tell your mom that hopefully it'll be a lot more fun this time around.

What do you think?

Do you want to stay for dinner?

What?

Charlie.

No, I can't.

Well, what are you having?

Mr.

Duxworth, there were two reasons I came by.

First off, I wanted to let you know that things are going well.

I'm learning a lot about teamwork and fair play and all that junk.

Good, good.

And the second thing?

Well, sir, fair play doesn't come cheap.

These kids, my team, have no money. They can't afford rink time, safe equipment,

proper uniforms, which makes it difficult for them to compete.

Now imagine, sir, being ten years old, stepping out onto that ice with old

copies of the Enquirer taped to your shins instead of pads.

The point I'm trying to make, sir, is that you wouldn't be taken seriously.

And neither are these kids.

So I thought, maybe the firm could help them out.

How much are we talking about?

$15 ,000.

No way.

Wait a minute. Think of the goodwill.

We name the team after the firm.

Suddenly, we're the good guys.

Duxworth, Saver and Gross.

The firm that gives back to the community.

Come on. I'll get you your own jersey.

a baby.

Who is that kid? Thanks, Walt. That's Colton Reed.

He's in one of my classes.

How come he's not on the team?

He only plays football.

Some preppy school gave him a scholarship as long as he doesn't play

They don't want him getting hurt. I heard it was colleges.

Started being such a bore of him.

Yeah, but I heard he's got to repeat the sixth grade. Aw, shut up.

We're hidden skaters.

Anybody know who they are?

That's Tommy Duncan. He's in my science class.

And that's his sister, Tammy.

Think they'd want to play hockey with us? Yeah.

Go get dressed.

I'll do the negotiating.

Just think of it as figure skating.

With a stick.

You're going to love it, Tammy.

Hey, attaboy, Tommy.

Looking good, looking tough.

Give me five. Show me you're alive.

Mom isn't going to like this at all. So what? You want me to put you to sleep

and you got to play hockey? What do I know about hockey?

More than you think.

Back to basics.

Skating.

Go, go.

Side to side. Shift your weight.

Get comfortable on your edge.

You don't shoot the puck to your teammate.

You sail it to him.

Carp, on your feet.

You send it.

You don't stop the pass.

You accept it.

Cradle it.

Again, concentration, not strength.

Like the karate kid, right?

Wax on, wax off. You should have been quiet, Aberman.

Send it back, Aberman.

Charlie. Good, good.

Now, sail it back.

Way to go!

All right, all right, all right.

Good, good.

Good, cradle it, cradle it. Soft hand, soft hand.

Oh!

Here it comes.

Nice and easy. Good.

I did it.

I did it. All right.

Nice drill, Coach.

Really very cute.

But what are you going to look with me in gold?

Goldberg, you trust me? My mother would not approve of this, coach.

She'd like me to live to be bar mitzvahed.

This is your bar mitzvah, Goldberg.

Today you will become a man.

What happened to your dad?

Mom and I left him.

I don't really remember, but that's what she says.

You know, when I was a boy, I had to take care of my mother, too.

Really? What happened to your dad?

He passed away.

You do a good job taking care of your mom.

Thanks. Keep it up, all right?

We'll see.

Hey, coach.

What's that?

Oh!

Oh!

So

I'm

right in the middle of my cross -examination, and I say to the guy, I

defend heels like you, you scuzzy, mole -faced rat.

That's a good one, sir.

Never mind the window.

Where'd you learn to shoot like that?

I didn't learn. I just do it.

Do it again.

Well, you're great at breaking windows.

Did you ever hit the goal?

Yeah.

Well, one out of five.

Bolton, is it true what they say about the scholarships and how they won't let

you play hockey?

People talk, it don't mean nothing.

Why don't you play for us? I can't.

What do you mean you can't? I mean I can't.

What, are you afraid?

No, I mean I really can't, you moron.

I don't know how to skate.

Whoa.

Is that all that's stopping you?

The ducks?

We're the ducks?

Man, what brain did jerk him up with that name?

As a matter of fact, I did.

I didn't have a choice. We're being sponsored.

By who, Donald and Daisy?

Hey, you don't want to be ducks?

You'd rather be District 5, some stupid number?

Better than some stupid animal.

I'll have you know, Peter, that the duck is one of the most noble, agile, and

intelligent creatures of the animal kingdom.

But they're wimpy.

Chief. Neither do hockey players.

Have you guys ever seen a flock of ducks flying in perfect formation?

It's beautiful.

Pretty awesome the way they all stick together.

Ducks never say die.

Ever seen a duck fight?

No way. Why?

Because the other animals are afraid.

They know that if they mess with one duck, they gotta deal with the whole

I'm proud to be a duck.

And I'd be proud to fly with any one of you.

So how about it?

Who's a duck?

I'll be duck.

Yeah.

Me too.

What the hell are they doing?

Every time you get the puck, you're the quarterback.

Make eye contact with the receiver.

Talk to him. Let him know it's coming.

Come on, guys. This isn't a library.

Talk to each other.

You're a weird -ass team.

How you doing?

Ready? I think so.

Okay, Fulton.

Shoot your heart out.

Not a five.

All right.

Let's forget the past. We lost a few games.

Tough. That was District 5.

Now we're the Duck.

Yeah. And the Duck are undefeated.

All right!

fingers am I holding up? He wouldn't know that anyway.

Shut up, Peter.

Harp, you okay?

Look at this.

The carpster.

You just had to stop the pug.

Mr. Carpalani.

Let's get you off the ice. Come on.

Get him on the bench, Charlie.

Okay,

Doc. We've still got a chance here.

Connie, Terry, Jesse, Guy.

Time for the secret weapon.

Okay, Fulton.

Remember, just like we talked about.

Be what you need to make the playoffs.

The Ducks have a shot at the playoffs? Sure. Everyone but the last two teams

in. Remember?

The Panthers got the measles and they forfeited the season.

So, you beat the Huskies and you make the playoffs.

Well, we might have to play the Hawks. So?

So, they're a tough team.

Nothing's changed since I played.

Actually, one little thing has changed.

You wouldn't even be a Hawk now.

They redrew the district lines last year.

Jake is not the boundary anymore.

You see?

You'd be a duck.

I'd be a duck.

Excuse me.

Coach Riley? Yeah.

I'm afraid there's a bit of a problem.

What's that?

It seems that one of your players is ineligible.

Thanks!

Over here.

It's got to be a joke, right? I'm afraid it's no joke.

Is there a problem, Coach Riley? Oh, no, no, no. It's just a mistake, Mr. Banks.

Are you this boy's father, 450 North Hennepin Avenue? Is that your address?

Yes. Well, then I'm afraid there's no mistake. This boy is playing for the

team. What?

According to league rules, Adam Banks should be playing for District 5.

My son is a hawk, not a duck.

Is this your doing, Gordon?

I'll expect to see him at our next game.

I'll have a uniform waiting for you.

No way.

My son would rather not play.

and play for your team.

Fine, if that's the way you want it. But remember, if Adam plays for the Hawks,

he'll have to forfeit every game for the rest of the season.

Boy, I'd hate to see that.

Look, I'm sorry this had to happen, but you can see here on the map, it's very

clearly delineated.

Gordon?

Hey, Bombay, you stop when I'm talking to you, son.

What's the idea here? Are you trying to sabotage me or what?

Law's a bitch when it works against you, isn't it, Jack?

Look, you got a whole team full of banks. This one kid isn't going to make

difference. Even with banks, what do you think you're going to prove, you and

that bunch of losers?

That's right, coach.

They are losers.

We hate losers, don't we? They don't even deserve to live.

Maybe you're right.

Maybe banks won't make a difference.

But at least we're playing by the rules.

Why'd you turn against me, Gordon?

For six years, I taught you how to skate. I taught you how to score.

I taught you how to go for the W.

You could have been one of the greats.

And now look at yourself.

You're not even a has -been.

You're a never -was.

Hey, why aren't you guys in uniform? We got worms in half an hour.

All right, everyone, listen up.

I got some good news.

We're getting a new player.

Adam Banks.

He's a hawk.

He's a good player.

Ugh.

Everybody hates him. Yeah, we don't need him.

Look, I'm the coach, and I say we do need him. Now, if we make it to the

playoffs, he could be a big help. If all of a sudden you don't think we're good

enough? No, he thinks we're losers.

Yeah, that's what he told Riley.

What? Come on, we heard what you said.

You said we were losers.

We didn't deserve to live.

That's not what I meant.

I saw that picture of you missing that goal.

You were a hawk, weren't you?

I guess you guys stick together to the end.

You know what? I don't need your sneaking equipment.

See you around.

Peter, come back here.

I'm talking to you, son.

Forget it, cake eater.

You want to play? Play with yourself.

Come on, Terry.

Where do you guys think you're going?

I don't believe this.

All right.

I'm going up to the bench because that's where I'm supposed to be.

Anyone who wants to join me can join me.

Anyone who doesn't...

I missed the game time, Colt. Yeah, yeah, they'll be on in a minute.

you know, working themselves into a frenzy.

How much of a frenzy?

Wait for it.

Ducks and Portman, claims you win.

That's it?

Sure.

Talk to the guys?

I tried.

I think I'm a traitor for even showing up.

Guess they really hate me, huh?

Is it true you were really a hawk?

Yeah.

Peter said you blew a really big game with us. Yeah, well, Peter's right.

It was the last game of the state finals.

We're tied 2 -2 in the end of the third period.

I get a penalty shot.

I go in.

I triple deke. I fake the goalie right out of his pads.

Pucks headed in, and then clang.

Hits the post.

We lost in overtime.

A quarter of an inch this way, and it would have gone in. A quarter of an

Charlie.

Well, yeah, but a quarter of an inch the other way, and you would have missed

completely.

I never thought of it that way.

At least you got to play in a championship game.

God, that must have been so cool.

Hey, can I get a cup of coffee?

I'd love one.

You know, she has many fine qualities that men find attractive.

I know that, Charlie.

That fact hasn't escaped me.

So, what kind of guys does she usually date?

Chirps. I mean, most of them like her.

But as soon as they catch a glimpse of me... Warp speed! They are gone!

I didn't take it personally, Charlie.

Oh, I wouldn't even care.

It's not fair to my mom.

She deserves somebody nice.

Are you going to come over for dinner again?

I don't know, Charlie.

I'm not sure it's such a good idea.

See, that's what I wanted to talk to you about.

I, um, talked to Jesse and Terry's dad.

And he's going to take over coaching for the rest of the year.

You're quitting? I'm stepping aside to keep the team together.

The guys can't play for somebody they don't trust.

I trust you.

The other guys do, too. They just don't know it. You gotta talk to them.

Charlie, I've done all I can.

No, you haven't. You gotta tell them. You gotta make them understand.

You can't walk out on the ducks. We're your team.

No, you're not.

We are, too. We weren't even the ducks until you came along.

You made it. Now you're stuck.

Charlie.

That's right. The red is oxygen.

Now, what are the blue balls?

Tommy?

Hydrogen. Is correct.

Now, put them together, and you have a molecule that makes up 96 % of your

What is it?

Pizza?

It's the principle. I'll be right back.

Work on H2CO3.

It's a goodie.

How'd the forfeit go? Bad way. Yeah, did you score?

Leave me alone, guys. I don't want to talk about the team.

Oh, yeah, sure. Coach is pet.

Everybody knows he likes you best.

Likes his mom, you mean.

Take it back, Carp.

Take it back now.

Leave him alone, Carp. Don't push me.

such short notice, Gordon.

By the way, your court release came through. Congratulations, your community

service is over. You're kidding.

So you wanted to talk about my coming back to work, then?

Well, actually... Oh, you got your jersey. Great. You know, a lot's been

happening, so the Ducks might even make the playoffs.

Gordon, you know Coach Riley and Mr. Banks?

Sir, they're the bad guys.

No. Actually, Phil is one of my oldest friends.

Gerald was kind enough to get us all together here to try to work out this

little problem.

You see, My son, Adam, wants to play for the Hawks. His older brother was a

Hawk. All of his little friends are Hawks.

That's where he belongs.

It's a tradition.

Now, you understand that, Gordon. You played.

Sure, I can, but the league's already ruled on it. We've talked to the league,

and we worked out a little deal.

You guys cut a deal with the Pee Wee Hockey League?

Yes, Gordon, we did.

The long and short of it is that Adam stays on the Hawks for the rest of the

season.

And then next year, they redraft the Lions.

Correctly. The league did make one condition.

What's that?

That you withdraw your protest.

That's great.

Good, good.

Well, that's settled then. No, sir.

You don't understand.

I can't withdraw my protest.

What? Mr. Duxworth, you wanted me to learn about fair play and how to be part

a team.

And I may not have learned everything yet, but...

I remember something my father said to me.

A team isn't a bunch of kids out to win.

A team is something you belong to.

Something you feel.

Something you have to earn.

And I'm not going to let those kids down.

Gordon, I'm going to make this simple.

Are you prepared to lose your job over some kids, some game?

I ask you, sir.

Are you prepared to fire me over some kids, some game?

Collect your personal belongings, Gordon.

Yes, sir, Mr. Duxworth.

Thank you very much, Mr. Duxworth.

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. Mr. Duxworth.

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. Gordon, stop quacking.

Quack, quack, quack.

Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack. Quack, quack, quack, quack, quack.

You may have paid for this jersey, sir, but you didn't earn it.

I'll see you in the playoffs.

Excuse me.

There's some students here that I'd like to see. Who are you?

I'm their hockey coach.

Can you tell me where I can find each of them, please?

They're in room 223.

All of them?

All of them.

What do you want?

I want to talk to you guys.

People.

People, Frank.

Sit down, please.

All of you.

Okay, don't sit down.

Look, what's done is done.

I want to be a coach again.

You want to coach a bunch of losers?

No. I want to coach the Ducks.

What about the things you said?

You said we didn't deserve to live.

Carl, I was being sarcastic.

You know what that means?

No!

Okay, then you do.

I didn't mean those things the way they sounded.

You guys know what it's like to be misunderstood, right?

Yeah, of course. We're kids.

So? Can you forgive me?

Can I be your coach again?

What about Banks?

He could be on the team if he wants.

He should have been with us all year.

It's you guys who were cheated.

Let's forget all that crap.

We're a team, right?

Yeah.

I made you guys.

And I'm sticking with you.

So, what's it going to be?

We can play tomorrow night.

Still have a shot at the playoffs.

Or we can forfeit again and the season's over.

Peter, what do you say?

Well, I guess it would help if we practiced first.

All right.

Let me see if I can get you out of detention.

Hey, Dad.

You really quacked at the principal?

Yeah.

Are we ducks or what?

Yeah!

I wasn't sure if you'd show up.

Yeah, whatever.

I just want to play hockey.

Good.

Ducks, you all know Adam Bank?

On behalf of the Ducks, I'd like to say welcome.

Take it.

Ooh, the just man.

This is the new guy, the jester.

Shut up, Averman.

It's just a joke.

Putting on a Ducks jersey doesn't mean you're a real Duck.

They're a good group once you get to know them.

I'll bet.

Well, suit up. See you on the ice.

Okay,

get to the offensive guard. Goldberg, we're going to sit this one out.

What? You're pulling the goalie when we're tied?

Listen, listen.

What tie isn't going to help us? We need the win.

Okay, Fulton?

You're our extra man.

Everybody, get the Puff the Fulton. That's your job.

Are we pulling the Statue of Liberty card?

Yeah. No.

Take your shot.

You may only get one, so it's got to be good. The coach, one out of one.

Soft hands, Fulton.

Concentration, not strength.

That's right.

Okay? Let's get that. Let's go!

What are we doing here?

It's a little playoff, friend.

Hey, Gordo.

Gordon Bombay, right?

You remember me?

Sure, from peewees.

This guy used to rule in peewees.

Oh, yeah? I heard you're a farmer.

Actually, I became a lawyer. I'm coaching peewee now, and this is my

Ducks. Ducks, this is Basil McCray and Mike Medano.

Listen to this guy. He knows what he's talking about.

If you ever want a shot, let me know. I'll give you a try with the Meyerle

clubs.

Thanks. No problem. Hey, nice seeing you.

All right.

Let's have some fun.

You got the accent.

Joey's the positive.

It'll emanate the negative.

That's on to the affirmative.

Don't mess with Mr. In -Between. You got to spread y 'all up to the

maximum. Strangle them down to that minimum.

Half -baked or pandemonium. Live up to walk up on the scene.

To illustrate my last remark.

Talking like a Jonah in a whale.

Knowing all.

What did they do?

Thank you.

Thank you.

Thank you.

You know, couldn't the North Stars wear the same underwear all through the

playoffs last year?

Maybe I should have cooked.

You know, I'm thinking, maybe we can all go down to the Winter Festival tonight.

All three of us?

Sure. I don't think I should, because I've got a lot of homework.

You should go.

With my mom.

By yourselves.

Mmm, smells great!

I wonder.

I used to sculpt, but now I do mostly painting.

How do you think they do the details?

Oh, little men, tiny chisels, big minutes.

I'm nervous. I'm rambling on and on here. You probably think I'm weird.

No, I think you're great.

When I was a little girl, I used to pretend that that was an ice castle.

And that was my room.

That window right up there.

And last winter, I gave Charlie that one.

What about me?

Which window's mine?

I want to live there, too.

What?

What did I say?

It's just not that easy.

What's not that easy?

Casey, I was just playing around.

Look, I don't know how you feel about me. I don't even know how I feel about

you. But I do know there's a little kid back home who's absolutely falling in

love with his coach.

And if you can't deal with that, if you're just playing around, then you

let me know. What are we talking?

Till death do us part, I have to decide on the first date? Stop it, Gordon.

Charlie's gonna be there when we get back.

And tomorrow, and ten years from now.

Look, I can take it.

But if Charlie gets too attached... Every time

this happens, it gets a little rougher on him.

Just on him?

I'm glad to be here with you.

Me too.

And now it's on to the semifinals where the Ducks will face the Cardinals.

What a game so far, ladies and gentlemen. The Ducks and the Cardinals.

Cardinals with it in their own zone, trying to clear it out. Pass to the

intercepted by the Ducks.

Here's their star at a bat.

Banks has got great speed.

Banks right down the middle. Just around one man with a great move. Just around

another defender.

Banks and...

Shoot. Keep going.

And you missed this shot.

You're not just letting your team down. You're letting me down, too.

Remember, it's not worth playing.

It can't win. That's right. Okay, son. Let's go.

Good hit! Touch me, I want you guys to play it!

the center right feet, drives it down into the hot zone.

Back in again, Larson, and then behind the net.

for them to make a deal.

banks like a bad habit. I want it out of the game.

Finish him off. You got it?

Yeah. Okay, boys, let's go.

Mike Joe.

Okay, we're going to get the paramedics, and he's injured. Hop out of the way

now. Mike.

Come on, son. Let's go.

Do me a favor.

Kick some butt.

All right.

Cake eater.

You'll be okay, sir. We can take some x -rays, huh?

Hell of a job, sir.

They score against us, they're going to pay the price. Now, don't worry. We're

going to get that one back.

You got something to say to me, Bombay?

I think I wasted all those years worrying about what you thought.

You're going down, Riley.

Let me go after him, coach. Let me get him. No, we're better than that.

Look, look.

It's time to play smart hockey.

Duck hockey.

All right? And we got the power play.

Hit him.

Where it hurts the most.

Up there. Yes. Yeah.

I hear you. You're in. Coach, they'll be rushing him.

Right. Jesse, make sure you give Fulton plenty of time.

All right, Jesse, do good.

All right. Yeah. Go.

Yeah. Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Let's have fun out there.

Reed covered.

He better not make another shot. You got it?

I'm telling you, you blow this game and nobody makes the team next year.

All right, get out.

20, 30 seconds left.

Let's let him finish what he started. Coach, we have a chance to win.

Damn straight we do.

Come here.

You practicing that triple D?

Yeah. Then you're all set.

You may make it.

You may not.

But that doesn't matter, Charlie. What matters is that we're here.

Look around.

Who ever thought we'd make it this far?

One, two, three, triple D.

Take your best shot.

much, huh?

Thank you, Hans.

I'm proud of you, Gordon.

Look, don't take any bad dives, okay?

Just remember, keep your head up, man.

Cake eater.

Remember, strength, not concentration.

Right.

And for God's sakes, soft hands.

Right.

Anything else?

Yeah. Have fun out there, Coach.

I must be crazy to try out with the minors.

I'm going to be going up against kids half my age.

Just have a good tryout, Gordon.

One step at a time.

Yeah, you're right.

We'll see you next season.

We got a title to defend.
