- (Reading from a news paper.)
Rona:" After winning their first two games of this season under new owner, Diane Barrow, the California Bulls have reverted to their former ways by losing three straight. And losing big! So much for new ownership."
Diane: Oh!
Rona: Wait, there's more. "Not only do the Bulls seem incapable of putting a quality team on the field, this Sunday they may not even be able to sell beer to their fans. A labor dispute has caused cancellation of the Bulls beer contract and picket's surround the stadium." edit » - (Butch Cassidy enters the locker room.)
Mad Dog: Hey, that's Butch Cassidy, man.
Jethro: How did you know?
Mad Dog: Oh, we're like old friends. Ah, one game I hit him so hard, I broke his collar bone.
Jethro: Yeah?
Mad Dog: But he was so coked up, he still scored the touchdown.
Jethro: No shit! edit » - Roger: We have to discuss this beer situation. I warned you, the Arcola's would cut off distribution, that's exactly what they've done.
Diane: Well, than it's your job to find us a new distributor, Roger.
Roger: Not a chance, nobody is going to cross the Arcola picket line. There's only one way out of this, let them have those tickets.
Diane: That's extortion!
Roger: That's business.
Diane: I am not about to be bullied by those gangsters or any one else, for that matter.
