Coach Wittenberg

Pass the ball to Tucker!

Coach Wittenberg

Excellent pass to Tucker, Arnold — You don't even have to dribble, just pass it to Tucker!!

Grandpa

Have I ever told you about how I always wanted to be in the circus?

Arnold

Yeah, you did, Grandpa, but—

Grandpa

When I was a kid, I wanted nothing more than to be a trapeze artist. But the only job I could get was cleaning up after the elephants. 13 years with my pail and shovel. Following around Jumbo and Big Nellie. I thought about quittin', but I remembered what my grandfather said to me.

Arnold

What was that, Grandpa?

Grandpa

"Don't quit, ya ninny!" So I stuck with it.

Arnold

And, eventually, you got a chance to trapeze?

Grandpa

No! Although I did get an audition as the bearded lady.

(repeated line) Arnold

Trust the ball.

(repeated line) Coach Wittenberg

Don't let me down, son.
