[Charlie Manuel, Jimmy Rollins and Eric Bruntlett share a ride to the airport early Friday morning…]
Charlie: Thanks for the ride, Jimmy. I woulda taken my car, but I’ve been hearing some crazy damn sounds comin’ outta that sumbitch lately.
Jimmy: You should take it to a mechanic.
Eric: Yeah, a mechanic!
Charlie and Jimmy: SHUT THE FUCK UP, ERIC.
Charlie: Say, what’s he doing back there?
Jimmy: I found him waiting in the bushes when I pulled out of my driveway this morning. He insisted on riding with me.
Eric: I want some apple juice!
Jimmy: Well, maybe you should have said something before we passed three Wawas on the way to the airport.
Eric: …And a pretzel!
Charlie: No pretzel! We’re late enough as it is. Come on Jimmy, step on it or we’re gonna hold up the plane.
Jimmy: What’s the big deal, Skip? You think they’re gonna take off for Atlanta without the reigning MVP?
Charlie: Dammit, son, that’s exactly the kind of complacency we don’t need on this team if we want to win a championship!
Eric: I want a championship, too… and apple juice!
Charlie and Jimmy: SHUT THE FUCK UP, ERIC!
Charlie: Aw hell, the light’s turning yellow. Step on the gas!
Jimmy: I don’t know, Skip. I think we need to accept the fact that that light’s going to turn red no matter what we do. [Steps on the brake]
[Suddenly, due to a technical glitch the traffic light remains stuck on yellow.]
Jimmy: Well, what do you know? I guess I could’ve kept driving.
Charlie: Pull over, Jimmy.
Jimmy: Pull over? Why?
Charlie: Just pull over, dammit!
Jimmy: OK, OK!
[They pull over.]
Charlie: Jimmy, get in the back seat. Eric, take the wheel.
Jimmy: WHAT?!?
Eric: Yayyy!
Jimmy: But this is my car! I always get to drive.
Charlie: Not today you don’t. I can’t have you lollygagging at traffic lights when we’re trying to catch a dadgum plane. Eric, step on it!
Eric: [Floors the gas pedal] WHEEEEEE!!!
[The car plows through the airport fencing, races onto the tarmac and screeches to a halt just inches away from the steps leading up to the Phillies’ charter jet.]
Charlie: God-DAMN, that was some reckless driving, son!
Jimmy: I swear to God, Bruntlett, if you fucked up my ride I will kill you.
Charlie: Now do you see why we can’t afford to have you slowing up out there, Jimmy?
Jimmy: Lesson learned, Skip. It won’t happen again.
Eric: Can I have apple juice on the plane?
Charlie and Jimmy: SHUT THE FUCK UP, ERIC.
