Transcript:
Hobbes: Go way back. I'm really gonna belt this. Keep going, keep going. I said way back! Keep going! Calvin: That dummy, he can't kick it this far. Boot! Whump! What're ya doin? I'm ten yards from the goal line! Aren't you gonna try to catch me?!? I could crawl on my hands and knees to make a touchdown before you'd ever get me from back there! What's the matter with you??? Ooops. Hobbes: Do you want to keep trying for the last two yards, or just give me the ball, now? Calvin: I call a ten year time out to grow some more.
