  • Amanda Whurlitzer: Well, maybe in a year or so. I can't be playing all dumb baseball.
  • Amanda Whurlitzer: Look, Buttermaker, you're not my father and I'll not move an inch to play baseball for you any more. So why don't you get back into that sardine can of yours and go, go vacuum the bottom of the Pacific Ocean? I've got business to take care of. You're blocking my customers with your car.

  • Amanda Whurlitzer: Well you must like those kind of guys you sure do hang around the field often enough!
  • Kelly: There's nice ass at the field, that's why I always hang around it.
  • Toby Whitewood: [as Buttermaker distributes jock straps to the team] What about Amanda?

  • Bad News Bears: Yeah!
  • Tanner Boyle: Anyway, it's too small.
  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: Well, your mother and I didn't got along too well, Amanda. I liked her very much, though. I still do. As a matter of fact I'm just not the marrying kind. But I guess I handled it badly, huh?
  • Amanda Whurlitzer: You handled it like shit!
  • Amanda: Twelve ballet lessons.
  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: Nine ballet lessons. They're three dollars a shot, for cryin' out loud. I can't afford...

  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: I'm not gettin' you any jeans.
  • Amanda: French jeans.
  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: You know how many pools y'gotta clean...
  • Amanda: Expensive kind.
  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: To get you a pair of imported jeans? What's a matter with American jeans?
  • Amanda: I don't like 'em.
  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: Who do you think you are? Catfish Hunter?
  • Amanda: Who's he?
  • Amanda Whurlitzer: Hey, Buttermaker! Maybe next spring you'll teach me how to hit.
  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: You bet.
  • Kelly: [entering after everyone refuses to wear cups] If she doesn't wear one neither do I.
  • Amanda Whurlitzer: What are you doing here?
  • Kelly: Some asshole changed my mind
  • Coach Morris Buttermaker: You probably lost on purpose. You probably like the little baboon.
  • Amanda: Blow it out your bunghole!
  • Amanda: Who's this turkey think he is? Mickey Mantle?
