Zonker: Third and twentynine again! Gentlemen, this can't go on! Man: What do you suggest, Zonker? Zonker: Mass resignations. B.D: Many of you are probably wondering what we're doing on our own goal line. The answer is simple: unbelievably sloppy teamwork! Zonker: Uh... excuse me, B.D. I don't mean to be defensive, but I don't think that's the problem. Man: Go easy, Zonk. He may not be ready to handle the truth. Zonker: No, no. It's time to get it out in the open. There's a breach of leadership here, and B.D. should know about it. B.D: A breach of what? Man: I told you he wasn't ready. Zonker: Face it, B.D. What we have is a crisis of confidence! You're not leading this team, you're managing it! Man: Zonker's right, B.D. Youre indecision's deeply affecting our morale, not to mention our forward progress. Zonker: If you don't do something dramatic, Cap'n, you're never going to get this team moving again. B.D: You're right. You're both out for the season. Man: Too dramatic. Zonker: Same old quick fix.
