"Jeff Mclemore Here." "Yeah." "You Want To Make This Bowling Match" "A Little More Interesting?" "Well, If You Win," "We'll Give You 40 Gallons Of Our Best Apple Cider."

"Maybe It'll Work." "Well, Either Way, The Place Has Been Good To Us, Alex." "You Grew Up Here, And I Got To Watch." "That Makes Me A Pretty Lucky Guy."

"I Thought You Were Kinda Liking It A Little Bit." "I Don't Know." "It Just Makes Everything So Different." "Well, It Can Make Some Things Different," "But It Doesn't Have To Make You Different." "Aargh!" "Hey!" "Maybe You Should Try Bowling Without The Shades." "Now You're Teaching Me How To Bowl?" "No." "I'm Teaching You How Not To Bowl." "Alex, Why Don't You Try" "Try The Left Spin." "Yeah, I Know, Del." "I Didn't Suddenly Get Stupid." "Hoorah!" "Yes!" "I'm The Man." "If I Can't Do It, No One Can." "Unh." "Aha!" "217!" "Now, This Is Bowling!"

"Look, Don't Wimp Out On Me, Guys." "We're So Close." "We're So Good." "Alex:" "Oh, That Was It." "That Was The Final Straw." "My Old Friends Hate Me." "My New Friends Aren't My Friends At All." "All This Just Isn't Any Fun Anymore." "Look At This!" "They Bet A School On Us," "And They Give Us A Piece Of Junk." "All They Care About Is Winning." "They Don't Understand Bowling," "And They Don't Understand Us." "Alex, No One Understands Us." "This Is Bogus." "I'm So Outta Here." "What Do You Mean?" "What Do You Think I Mean?" "I Quit." "No Way." "You Can't Quit." "You Can't Leave Me Now!" "Watch Me." "Alex, You Can't Quit Now." "We're Too Far Into This Thing." "The Team Needs You!" "We Are Not Having A Good Day." "Oh, What A Loser!" "He's Not A Loser." "This Isn't The Real Alex." "Of Course, You Must Know That," "Now That You're His Best Bud." "[Sighs] At Least There's Still 4 Of Us." "4?" "Me?" "Bowl?" "Delia." "Delia." "Delia." "Just Trying To Lighten The Mood." "Did You Talk To Him?" "I Tried." "He's Not Listening." "So, Uh, Where's That Thompson Kid?" "Alex Isn't Feeling Well." "Well, Son, You're Still Ready To Lead The Team To Victory?" "Actually, Sir, We're Gonna Let Todd Bowl For All Of Us." "That Way, He Can Lead And Follow." "Well, Todd's Been Through The Fires Before." "He's A Leader." "Natural-Born." "He's Kept Us All Together, That's For Sure." "Never Steered Any Of Us Wrong." "I Rest My Case." "I'm So Nervous." "Don't Be." "You're All Good." "You're All Really Good." "But These Uniforms Are A Fashion Disaster." "Look, We Have Fun." "We Do The Best We Can." "That's All We Can Do." "Just Doesn't Seem Like It's Enough." "Sometimes It Isn't Enough." "This Is So Unlike Alex." "Been So Unlike Himself For A While Now." "I Miss Him." "Nancy, I'm Getting Another Soda." "Nancy:" "Go Right Ahead." "[Door Chimes]" "Can I Join You?" "Where's Your Fan Club?" "I Left Them At The "Todd Is King" Rally My Dad Is Hosting." "Are You Looking For Sympathy?" "You Don't Like To Lose, Do You?" "I Can't Lose." "It's Not Allowed." "Look, I Just Came Here 'Cause I Wanted To..." "You Know." "No, I Don't Know." "Elisa, You Can Bowl The Worst Game Of Your Life Tomorrow," "A 5 Maybe, Or A 10, But At The End Of The Day," "Your Friends Wouldn't Care, And That Is Just So Cool." "I Wanna Win, You Know." "We All Do." "It's Nice Having People Look At Us." "Actually At Us, Not Past Us." "People Will Always Look At You After This, Win Or Lose." "No." "People Will Always Look At You" "And Blame Us For The Loss" "Or Say We Were Carried By You To A Win." "Look, Forget About The Game." "What I'm Saying Is That Eventually People Will See You" "Because You're There, And You're Real." "That's All That Counts." "Maybe." "Definitely." "Trust Me On This One." "You Should Go Talk To Alex." "I Don't Think He Wants To Talk To Me." "Well, You Should Try, Anyway." "Yeah." "Yeah." "You Know, I Got Something For You." "But You're Right." "I Should Go Talk To Alex First." "Golden Boy Is Human?" "All Right." "[Doorbell Rings]" "Hey." "What Do You Want?" "I'm Sorry Everything Got So Messed Up, You Know?" "That's All I Can Say." "Right." "Probably Wasn't Even Your Fault." "You Know, I Never Thought I'd Actually Like You." "I Never Thought I'd Like Bowling." "All I Thought About Was Winning." "I Always Wanted To Win, Too." "We All Did, Really." "We Just Didn't Care The Same Way You Did." "I Know That Now, Dummy." "That's What I'm Saying." "You're Not Me." "You're Not The Same As Me." "No." "You Know What The Big Difference Is?" "Hair Color?" "[Chuckles] Yeah." "I Played Every Sport I Can," "But I'm Not There Because I Have Fun." "I'm There Because That's What I Do, And I'm Good At It." "Sure, Sometimes It's A Blast," "But That's Not Why I'm There." "Bowling Was Fun." "Bowling Still Is Fun, Alex." "Tomorrow, Let's Forget About The Big Stakes." "Let's Just Go Out There And Bowl." "If We Win, Great, And If Not, Well," "We'll Have Fun, And We'll Try." "But I Want You There." "If I've Chased You Away," "I'm Not Gonna Have Any Fun At All," "And I Really Want To Have Fun." "Look." "It's Yours Whether Or Not You Play." "Tex?" "You Look Like A Tex." "It's Our New Uniforms," "And I Think I'm Gonna Be Dirk." "[Laughs]" "Just Promise Me Something." "Next Time You Bowl, Whenever It Is," "Just Have Fun Again." "Good Night, Dirk." "Good Night, Tex!" "Hey." "Thought I Heard Voices." "Nah." "It's Just Me." "Just Got Off The Phone With Mom." "She And Grandpa Are Coming Back Tomorrow Night." "They Said They Miss You." "And I Miss Bowling." "You Know, The Way It Used To Be." "You Know, Jeff Mclemore And I" "Used To Play Second Base And Shortstop On The School Baseball Team." "Bottom Of The Ninth Against East Appleton," "We Mess Up A Double Play." "He Says That I Dropped The Ball," "And I Say That He Made A Bad Throw," "But We Lost The Game." "Later On In The Year, We Lose The Apple." "And We Decided It Was Because Of That Missed Double Play." "It Became A Huge Thing Between Us." "We Stopped Having Fun Together," "And We Stopped Being Friends." "We Claimed That The Mighty Apple Changed Us." "Of Course, It Wasn't Really The Apple." "It Was Just Us." "Letting That Happen Was The Stupidest Thing" "Either One Of Us Has Ever Done." "You Lock Up When You Come In?" "Yeah?" "Ok." "Good Night." "[Cheering]" "Let's Go, Guys!" "Surprise." "We're Back." "Hey." "Oh, My Gosh." "It's Good To See You." "Hiya, Grandpa." "How Ya Feeling?" "Great." "Look At This Place." "He's Coming." "Elisa, He's Not Coming." "Yes, He's Coming." "Well, He Better Hurry." "Oh, Hanburger." "The School Is Ours." "Heh Heh." "You Dream." "The Apple And The School Belong To The East." "We'll See." "Thank You, Thank You." "Welcome To The Big Apple Lanes," "The Pride Of West Appleton." "Now, On Behalf Of My Colleague, Mayor Hanburger," "We Welcome You To The Last Event" "In The History Of The Mighty Apple." "Winner Take All." "Man, There's A Lot Of People In There." "Ain't It Great?" "And Now, For The Last Time Ever," "Mayor Hanburger And I" "Will Unveil The Mighty Apple." "It's A Beauty, And Tonight, We'll Know Where It Resides For All Eternity." "We Certainly Will." "And Now, Without Any Further Ado," "Let's Bring Out Our Teams." "Representing East Appleton," "Our Pride And Joy-- The Bowling Wolfpack!" "[Booing]" "Booing In A Bowling Alley?" "Look At All Those Cameras." "Why Would Anyone Wanna Take A Picture Of This?" "Because Our Uniforms Are So Darn Cool." "[Shrieking]" "I'm Sorry." "Let's Have Some Fun." "[Yells]" "Whoo!" "All Right." "Yeah." "And Here Comes The Pride Of The West," "Today Sporting The Name The Alley Cats." "Spunky, Yes?" "There's Todd Mclemore," "Looking Confident, As One Would Expect." "For Those Of You Listening At Home," "Let Me Tell You What The Rules Are." "They're Simple." "Each Squad Starts With 4 Bowlers." "At Any Point In Time In A Bowler's Game," "A Substitution Can Be Made," "And That Bowler Finishes The Game." "You're Going Down." "It's Bowling, Slick." "Mellow Out." "Mellow Out?" "The Attitude Of A True Loser." "I Don't Think We're Gonna Be Seeing Much In The Way Of Substitutions," "Even Though Both Teams Have A Sub On The Bench." "But There Is Always That Chance." "Anyways, You Add Up The Total Of The 4 Games, And That's Your Total." "The Team With The Highest Total Wins." "It's Simple." "Not Really Head To Head, But Still Head To Head." "Oh, My." "No One Told Me That Bowling Could Be So Exciting." "[Blows]" "Here Comes The Coin Toss." "Heads." "We'll Go Second." "East Appleton Is Gonna Get The Game Going." "Our Gang From The West Is Gonna Start With Ken Long," "Followed By Elisa Bowers, Alex Thompson," "And Batting Cleanup, For Wont Of A Better Term," "Todd Mclemore." "Oh, My, The Tension's So High, I Can Feel My Spleen Pounding." "Bobby Nagurski, Star Of The East, Is Preparing To Bowl." "It's A Tie Game." "That's My Boy." "Whoo!" "That's My Boy." "Go, Ken Baby." "Oh, My, Ladies And Gentlemen," "It's Clear Already" "This Is Going To Be One Fine Bowling Match." "After Bowling 3 Frames Each, We Have A Tie Ball Game." "Here We Are At The Seventh-Frame Stretch," "And East Appleton Is Leading By 15." "This Game Is Closer Than My Shave This Morning." "Whoa-Ho-Ho." "I Am Breathless, My Friends." "Entering Into The Tenth Frame," "And East Appleton Leads." "But The West Is Working On More Marks." "They Could Catch Up," "And Dare I Even Dream It, Win The Mighty Apple!" "Ok, If I Get 3 Strikes, We Tie." "Baron Isn't Working On A Mark," "So The Highest He Could Get Is 30 Points." "Todd, You're Working On A Strike." "You Can Top 30 In A Heartbeat." "All You Need Is A Strike Or A Spare" "Not A Problem." "Exactly." "3 Strikes, Al?" "So Not A Problem." "Right." "All Right, Tex, Go Get 'Em." "Come On, Alex." "Whoo!" "Man:" "All Right, Wildcats." "Sweet Lou:" "Strike One!" "Ho Ho." "I Am Sweating Bullets, Folks." "So If I Short Out, It's Been Good Knowing You." "Should I, You Know, Curve One In Or Put One Right Up The Middle?" "I Think You Should Not Mess Around." "Come On." "How About One Between My Legs?" "Alex, There's Fun, And Then There's Torture." "Go Bowl." "Yeah, Go, Go." "Come On, Alex." "Come On, Alex." "Yes!" "All Right!" "And The West Is Still Alive." "If He Can't Do It, No One Can." "Go, Alex!" "[Screaming]" "Oh, This Is Not A Bad Way To Live." "All Right." "Go, Kid." "Last Ball." "Frame 10." "Alex Thompson." "Strike 3!" "Strike 3!" "Oh, My Goodness!" "East's Last Bowler Needs 3 Strikes To Keep The Lead." "East Appleton Leads By 9 Pins." "Todd Mclemore, The West's Last Bowler," "Only Needs A Spare To Win The Mighty Apple." "Who Else Would You Rather Have In This Situation?" "I Know This Is The Wrong Time To Say This," "But I Shouldn't Have Gone Last." "It's All Right." "Todd, Man, You Can Do It." "It's Child's Play, Man." "Spare, And That's It." "Todd Mclemore Needs At Least A Spare" "To Give West Appleton The Victory." "Oh, Bummer For The West." "Todd Mclemore Launches A Perfect Ball, But Is Denied." "Now He Has A 7-10 Split." "And He Has To Make This Spare," "Or The Apple Goes Home With The Dreaded Wolfpack." "I Think I'm Having Liver Failure." "It Was A Perfect Ball." "You Bowled The Best Game Of Your Life Under This Pressure, Todd." "I Can't Make This Shot, And We're Gonna Lose." "No, We're Not." "I Can Make The Shot." "You Can Make The Shot?" "Yep." "Todd, They Want You." "You Can Make The Shot?" "Oh, Yeah." "[Crowd Chants Todd]" "Then We're Gonna Take That Substitution." "Referee." "Leap Out Of Your Chairs, Folks." "We Are Seeing History." "Todd Mclemore Has Removed Himself From This Game." "[Groans]" "What Are You Doing, Todd?" "It's Ok, Dad." "You Get Back In There." "No, Dad." "I'm Ordering You, Son." "You're Our Best Hope To Win." "Why?" "Because You Want Me To Be?" "It Doesn't Work That Way, Dad." "Sometimes I'm Not The Best, And You Gotta Let That Be Ok." "Now Why Don't You Go Back Over There And Cheer For Our Team, Dad?" "Not Just For Me." "Come On, Delia." "You've Got This Cold." "Come On, Del." "Come On, Let's Go." "It's Moving." "Have Mercy." "That Ball Is Moving." "I Am Having An Apoplexy Here, Folks." "If There's A Doctor Out There Listening," "Come On Down Here And Help Me." "You'll Be Here Before The Ball Hits The Pins!" "You Have Done This Before, Haven't You?" "Wouldn't You Like To Know?" "Almost There." "Hold Everything." "Now Remember-- I'm The One Who Cares About The Fun Of Bowling." "I'm Not Into Competition." "But Did I Care If Delia Made That Spare," "Thereby Winning The Mighty Apple For West Appleton?" "Did I Care?" "Did I Ever!" "Well, What Do You Know?" "Spare!" "Spare!" "A Spare!" "West Appleton Wins!" "Whoo!" "You Were Right, Dad." "Bowling Isn't Just For Fun." "Thank You." "No." "Thank You For Everything." "You Were Great." "I Love Ya, Alex." "I Love You, Too, Mom." "You Did It." "You Did It." "We Did It, Dad." "[Grunts] Ahem." "Listen, I'm Sorry." "Always Thought You Liked All The Attention." "I Forgot About All The Pressure." "You Know What I Learned, Dad?" "I Learned Sports Can Be Fun," "Not Just An Intense "Gotta Win" Game." "I Still Want To Win, But I Really Like This Having Fun Business." "I Know." "I'm Sorry." "It Should Always Be Fun." "It's Just That You're So Special," "I Want The Best For You So Badly." "I'm So Proud Of You." "Thanks, Dad." "I'm Proud Of All Of You." "[Cheering]" "The Apple's Ours." "The School Is Ours." "The West Lives On." "Hey, Dad, It's Not About Ego." "You Didn't Play, We Did," "So We Should Get To Decide What's What." "You Don't Want The School To Be West Appleton Junior High?" "You Really Think Someone Should Lose Their Identity" "Over Something As Fun As Bowling?" "I Don't." "Well, Mayor..." "You Won." "No, Uh, The Team Won." "Same Thing." "And, Um, Well, We're Not Gonna Name The School." "You're Not?" "Yes, We Are." "You Are?" "Yeah." "We're Gonna Name It Appleton Central." "I Love It." "Yeah, I Like It." "It Rocks." "Yes." "Hey, You Know What This Place Needs?" "A Little Fun." "A Little Music." "And A Lot Of Style."
