Dialogue
[edit]- Gordon: [to Jan] Hans couldn't make it?
- Jan: Now don't get me started with that strudel-head. He went back to the old country for the summer, left me to run the shop all by myself. He wanted to see our mother. She loved him more, you know.
- Jan: For breakfast, my specialty: Jan's has-
- Gordon and Charlie: -enpfeffer and eggs.
- Jan: Ja.
- Gordon: Thought I'd smelled something burning.
- Jan: [referring to Charlie] I see you've met my new apprentice.
- Charlie: Jan told me you did this job when you were my age.
- Gordon: That's right, and I hope he pays you more than he paid me.
- Charlie: You got paid?
- Jan: [quickly] Eat everybody, before the hasenpfeffer gets cold.
- Gordon: Haven't you guys been training in the off-season?
- Averman: You know, I knew we forgot something.
- Dwayne: Yee-haw! How's everybody? Y'all ready to play some puck?
- Jesse: Hey, look, it's Hop-Along Gretzky! [rest of the Ducks laugh]
- Tibbles: That's Dwayne Robertson, from Austin. He's the best puck handler I've ever seen.
- Gordon: You mean, for his age.
- Tibbles: No, I don't.
- Gordon: [Sees Portman for the first time] That guy's a teenager?
- Portman: [Skating along, singing to music on his headphones, knocking Ducks players over as he does so] "Don't you know that everything's on FIRE?"
- Tibbles: Uh, yeah, hormones.
- Gordon: He's a goon!
- Portman: [Knocks another player over and puts his arm around Dwayne] C'mon, Tex, sing it with me! [Dwayne shakes his head, Portman continues on] "Everything's..." [pushes another player over and tosses his stick to Julie] Here you go, sweetie!
- Gordon: My kids don't play that kind of hockey.
- Tibbles: I believe they're called "enforcers", Gordon. And when you play Iceland, you're gonna need him.
- [The following day, training begins in earnest. Gordon gathers the Ducks, or Team USA, as they are now called, onto the rink. He hobbles them together into a line, but ties them to each other with packing cord]
- Dwayne: This is more crowded than a truckload of goats.
- Julie: Somebody better watch their hands.
- Averman: Yecch. Somebody licked me!
- Fulton: Ugh, I smell something.
- [rest of the team smells it]
- Entire team: GOLDBERG!
- Goldberg: It wasn't me!
- Portman: No, it was me!
- [Gordon walks back and forth in front of the team]
- Gordon: I can't think of any fashion to make it clearer. You are a team. To win this thing, we're going to need to work as one. Now, as ONE–––skate!
- [The players start moving, but in separate directions. The rope yanks them back, and they topple over each other into a pile]
- Gordon: Everyone goes their own way, everyone falls down. Now get up and do it again!
- [After several tries, Team USA is able to move slowly, very slowly, in the same direction. As he is satisfied that they are working as a team again, Gordon unties them and hands the rope to Dwayne]
- Gordon: Alright, Rancher Dwayne. Go round me up some stray calf. [Then he promises double dessert to the last player left standing]
- [The children take off, free-skating in all directions. Dwayne grins as he ties the rope into a lariat and takes off after them. He twirls the rope and easily lassos Goldberg first. Dwayne guides Goldberg off the ice as if he are bringing a cow in for branding]
- [Dwayne returns to the ice and begins lassoing players as though he are scoring points in a video game. Connie, Luis, Averman, Jesse, Julie, Charlie. One by one, Dwayne lassos them and takes them off the ice]
- [There are only three players left: Ken, Banks and Portman]
- [Ken tries to twirl off, but is caught by Dwayne's loop in mid-pirouette. Upon seeing this, Portman decides he has eventually seen enough. He goes on the offensive. He charges Dwayne like a mad bull. Dwayne flees across the ice, but until he is a safe distance apart, he does a sharp about-face. Portman shoots past Dwayne and never sees the rope until it circles around his waist and jerks him to a dead stop]
- [The workout is over]
- [Everyone is watching Adam Banks start in on his second cup of pudding until Tibbles enters the dining hall. He is pushing a cloth-covered cart into the center of the room]
- Tibbles: I know you athletes need your food, but let me interrupt you for a moment. Winning the Junior Goodwill Games is more than just a victory. It's a chance to be immortalized in a time-honored tradition.
- [With that said, Tibbles ceremoniously whips the cloth off the cart to reveal a huge, oversize box of USA Crunch cereal. Plastered across the front of the box is a photograph of Gordon and the team]
- [Gordon can't help but grin]
- Dwayne: Hey, that's us!
- Tibbles: Today it's a cereal box. Tomorrow it's video games, action figures, lunch boxes. Perhaps they'll even make a movie about you. Stranger facts have happened. Now, just where everybody knows who you are, put away these old Duck jerseys because from now on you'll be wearing these!
- [Tibbles opens the cereal box and pulls out a bunch of beautiful red-white-and-blue warm-up suits with Team USA embroidered across the front and Hendrix sews down the sleeves]
- [Portman, Luis, Julie, Dwayne and Ken scramble for their new uniforms. But the old Ducks hesitate. They don't like the idea of giving up the Mighty Ducks]
- Charlie: This stuff has Hendrix written all over it.
- Gordon: They're our sponsors, Charlie.
- Charlie: Then what? Why can't we be USA Ducks or at least keep our Duck colors?
- Gordon: Charlie, it's business stuff. [The fact is, he explains, they aren't the Ducks anymore. They are a new team. Team USA]
- [Seeing his picture on the front of the cereal box, Gordon knows he isn't the coach of the Ducks anymore, either. He is the coach of Team USA]
- [As far as he's worried, the Ducks are history]
- Averman: [to Gordon] Nice haircut. What, ya lose a bet?
- Russ: Hey, Goldberg! I bet if that puck was a cheeseburger, you'd stop it! [laughs]
- Gordon: This isn't a hockey game. It's a circus.
- Averman: [about Team Iceland] We can't make it. Iceland's bigger, stronger, faster, they got more facial hair.
- Dwayne: Where I come from, we treat ladies with respect!
- Connie: Thank you, Dwayne, but I'm no lady. I'm a DUCK!
- Wolf "The Dentist" Stansson: Gunnar, you lost it for me.
- Gunnar Stahl: You lost it for yourself.
