Pokey: (In the Locker room with Bosley) You see I have dyslexia sometimes. Well, I used to keep taking the wrong turns home from school and getting lost. That's how my daddy and Dr. Higgins figured it how. I came out here to play football so maybe I could get it fixed.
Grinelda: (In the shower room) Well hello precious. Gonna wash some of that dirt off your nose? Kris: How would you like some skin off your nose? Grinelda: Cutie pie. (walking towards Kris) You're about a foot short and (Kelly walks in) forty pounds of doing me any damage. (Grinelda shoves Kris backwards and walks past Kelly) Kelly Hey! (Kelly grabs Grinelda's wrist) Think I can do you any damage?

Grinelda: (talking to Kris whom she knocked over on the field): A little too rough for you, precious.
