- Sparky Smith: You know, I was, ah, trying to tell them you're great and you really give me a hand at work. Did I say it right?
- Tanya: You told my grandmother that everyday in my office I make you feel very good using my hand.
- Sparky Smith: Hey, uh.. buddy? Milov, right? Did you happen to see a Walkman last time you were in here?
- Milov: Yes, I took it.
- Sparky Smith: Oh, well I prefer if you're going to borrow something of mine you ask in advance.
- Milov: I don't borrow it. I sold it.
- Sparky Smith: [later] You got a backstop... for a Walkman?
- Milov: No, for Walkman I get two cases of Italian windshield wipers.
- Sparky Smith: No.
- Milov: Yeah. For windshield wipers I get one case shampoo and one case toothpaste, with fluoride and tartar control.
- Sparky Smith: No.
- Milov: Yeah. For shampoo and for toothpaste I make very good trade for pneumatic German nail driver, for construction purposes.
- Sparky Smith: No!
- Milov: Yeah. For nail driver I get 244 latex condoms. Excellent quality. Red. For condoms I get get backstop, fence, and installation... and two Walkmans. I keep one Walkman, with your permit.
- Sparky Smith: My permit? Milov, my boy, I think we're gonna get along just fine.
- Sparky Smith: [breaking up an argument in Russian between the assistant coach and a player] Hold it, Hold it! What's the problem here?
- Voronov: Is settled. Matter of tactics.
- Andy: It's not settled. He says the pitcher should cover first base on a Texas Leaguer instead of home.
- Sparky Smith: He's right.
- Voronov: Uh-huh!
- Andy: Even if there's a man on third?
- Voronov: Manuel says first.
- Sparky Smith: And let the run score?
- Voronov: [frustrated] Fly ball between infield and outfield, pitcher covers first!
- Sparky Smith: Sorry, Vladimir. Runner on third changes everything. Home is a hell of a lot more important than first base.
- Voronov: [cursing in Russian, holds up a book] Manuel says first!
- Sparky Smith: [realizing] Manuel?
- Voronov: Prepared by Cuban baseballists and Soviet sports specialists and researchers!
- Sparky Smith: Manuel is a man-u-al?
- Voronov: Da.
- Sparky Smith: [nods. Rips page out of book and throws it away] . Now he covers home.
