Plot: When the owner of the Minnesota Twins dies suddenly, his will bequeaths the team to his grandson Billy, a devotee of baseball who, although only 12, has devoured voluminous lore, knows the team intimately, and has shown an uncanny sixth sense of what they need to improve. They hate their manager, so Billy quickly fires the SOB, winning their instant approval. However, this turns to dismay when he announces their new manager: Billy Heywood. How will Billy convince a gang of proud, tough men to stick around and take orders from a kid? On the other hand, what's to lose-- the team has nowhere to go but up.

Quotes:

Joey: [at school] If I owned the Twins, I wouldn't even show up here. I'd just hire a bunch of scientists to do my homework. I mean, if you're rich you don't have to be smart. That's the whole beauty of this country.

Lonnie Ritter: Kids today are amazing. I played winter ball down in Venezuala, they had kids half his age, every one of them speaking Spanish. That's a hard language.::Lou Collins: They speak Spanish in Venezuala.::Lonnie Ritter: I know! That's my point!

Mac: You're a frickin' primadonna, McGreavy. You don't deserve to wear that uniform.::Mike McGrevey: You know, you're right, Mac. I'm a disgrace to the Twins. I think you should trade me.::Mac: As soon as we find someone dumb enough to take you, that's EXACTLY what we're gonna do.::Billy Heywood: No we're not. We're not trading you.::Mike McGrevey: So what are you going to do, bench me?::Billy Heywood: Nope, play you. When it's your turn to pitch, you pitch. Nothing changes.::Mike McGrevey: You know, I don't think that's such a good idea. I have a feeling my concentration's not going to be that good out there. I might tend to forget some of those scouting reports.::Billy Heywood: Well, that's up to you, you're the free agent. Hey Mac, what's the going rate for an absent-minded pitcher who can't get anybody out?

Jim Bowers: It's a scientific fact that a pig becomes a hog at 180 pounds.::Spencer Hamilton: What's that make your wife?::Tucker Kain: Fat.

Joey: I can't believe you lost to the Tigers, they stink!

George O'Farrell: Hey 'Blackout,' I didn't get you for your curve ball. I don't like your curve ball. As a matter of fact, I hate your curve. You know why? Because the damn thing don't curve!

Billy Heywood: Here's an easy one. Who was the first black player to play in the major leagues?::Thomas Heywood: You want me to say Jackie Robinson, but I won't. Fleet Walker for Toledo. I believe the year was 1884.

[repeated line]::Spencer Hamilton: Bite me.

Billy Heywood: If Joe can paint a house in three hours and Sam can paint the same house in five hours, how long will it take to paint it together?::Mac: Now wait a minute, you never said this was a word problem.

Jim Bowers: [after Billy apologizes to the team] On behalf of the entire Apache Nation, we accept this olive branch of peace.::Billy Heywood: [team laughs] Thanks, I think.

Plot: The right of every individual to be different from his fellow men is the theme behind this internationally-hailed, British production. The story tells of a man's dilemma when he refused to participate in an unofficial strike, where he works. While vicious, calculated violence brings the other dissenters into line, he goes it alone and is sent to Coventry (given the silent treatment) by his fellow workers. A stirring, thought-provoking film that portrays the human problems and high emotions generated when a man dares to act on the courage of his convictions and dares fight to keep his individual freedom.

Mark Caldwell: May I make a suggestion?::Sandra Marshall: What?::Mark Caldwell: Next time you hear some odd noise in the night, just follow the memorable custom of your sex and stick your head under the bedclothes.

Quotes:

Gwendolyn Hall: My! You're gaining weight.::Rita Vernon: Yes. I'll soon be your size, my dear!

Charlie Van Duesen: You're the best young actress in America.::Rita Vernon: I know that.

Robert Harley Hedges: Youth has its hour of glory... but too often it's only a morning glory, the flower that fades before the sun is very high.

Eva Lovelace: I'm not afraid! I'm not afraid of being a morning glory!::Eva Lovelace: Oh, Nellie, I'm not afraid!

Eva Lovelace: I hope you're going to tell me your name. I want you for my first friend in New York. Mine's Eva Lovelace. It's partly made up and partly real. It was Ada Love. Love's my family name. I added the 'lace.' Do you like it, or would you prefer something shorter? A shorter name would be more convenient on a sign. Still, 'Eva Lovelace in Camille,' for instance, or 'Eva Lovelace in Romeo and Juliet' sounds very distinguished, doesn't it?

Robert Harley Hedges: Every year, in every theater, some young person makes a hit. Sometimes it's a big hit, sometimes a little one. It's a distinct success, but how many of them keep their heads? How many of them work? Youth comes to the fore. Youth has its hour of glory. But too often it's only a morning glory - a flower that fades before the sun is very high.

Eva Lovelace: Nellie, they've all been trying to frighten me. They've been trying to frighten me into being sensible, but they can't do it. Not now. Not yet. They've got to let me be as foolish as I want to be. I-I want to ride through the crowd. I want to- I want to go buy me a mink coat. And I'll buy you a beautiful present. And Mr. Hedges! I'll buy Mr. Hedges a little house. And it'll have rooms full of white orchids. And they've got to tell me that I'm much more wonderful than anyone else because, Nellie - Nellie, I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid of being just a morning glory. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. I'm not afraid. Why should I be afraid? I'm not afraid.

Rita Vernon: You know, the only way to live through a party like this is to get good and tight.

Louis Easton: What is your name?::Eva Lovelace: Eva Lovelace. Like it? I can change it if you don't.

Robert Harley Hedges: [to Eva] Keep your health, your money, and your head, Eva, if you want to go on.
