Jimmy Dworski : It's the Cubs in the World Series - it's a dream of mine, sir.
Warden Toolman : I know, I know,I know, I know, all right. I am not gonna stand in the way of anybody's dream, Jimmy. I'll tell you what:
Jimmy Dworski : What?
Warden Toolman : If I sink this put, you can go. What do you think of that? Hmmm?
Jimmy Dworski : I think you should keep your head down, arms straight, drop your shoulder, concentrate, focus, think of the hole, GET the ball in the hole!
Warden Toolman : Smell the hot dogs now, Jimmy. The crack of the bat; the roar of the crowd; you can order your tickets now, Jim.

Jimmy Dworski : Half a day. Just a half a day. I'll make it up when I come back. I'll give you 2 weeks.
Warden Toolman : [Shakes head no as if struggling with the decision]
Jimmy Dworski : OK OK I'll give you 2 weeks solitary.
Warden Toolman : [Nods yes] No can do.
Jimmy Dworski : Aw, COME ON! Lighten up, will ya? This game is SO important to me. It REALLY is. Come on this is just a minimum security prison, for Christ's sake!
[Warden and guard look up as if offended]
Jimmy Dworski : I mean a MAXIMUM minimum security prison - it's a tough prison, though.
Warden Toolman : Take away his TV priveleges.
Jimmy Dworski : Aw, COME ON! You can't take away my TV! I GOTTA watch the game. Come on - please don't be an asshole, all right?
Warden Toolman : Did you call me an asshole?
Jimmy Dworski : [to guard] Did I say "asshole"? I didn't call him an asshole, did I?
Prison Guard : Yep.
Warden Toolman : Take away everyone's TV priveleges, and let them know whose fault it is. NO ONE is gonna watch the game!
Jimmy Dworski : No - you can't... You can't!
Warden Toolman : NO ONE!
Jimmy Dworski : I didn't mean to call you an asshole - that's not what I meant! I meant assWIPE! You're an assWIPE!
[to guards]
Jimmy Dworski : And you - you LOOK like an asshole! And you look like another asshole!
