D3: The Mighty Ducks Page #7

---

then we just go play

juniors in Canada.

- You only gotta be 1 7.

- Man, Charlie, I don't even know

if I could makeJuniors.

Are you kidding me ?

With your shot ? Come on.

I mean, I don't know if I want

to play hockey for the rest of my life.

- Sorry.

- You're going back.

We can deal, man.

The Ducks are there.

Dude. Fine.

just get outta here then.

I don't care.

I don't need you. Go !

[ Distant Siren Wailing ]

Mom.

I've been trying

to reach you.

Hans... passed away.

What ?

[ Sniffles ]

It was his time to go.

[ All Reciting ] Our Father,

who art in Heaven, hallowed be Thy name.

Forgive us our trespasses as we

forgive those who trespass against us.

Lead us not into temptation,

but deliver us from evil.

For Thine is the kingdom,

the power and the glory,

forever and ever,

amen.

Excuse me, one second.

Every time

you touch the ice,

remember it was Hans

who taught us to fly.

- [ Alarm Beeping ]

- [ Grunts, Groans ]

- [ Turns Off Alarm ]

- 6:
00 a.m.

- I didn't even set the alarm.

- [ Bombay ] I did.

Good morning, Charlie.

Thought we'd spend the day together,

get an early start.

- Come on.

- Go away.

Hans is gone,

and I want to be alone.

Look, Charlie, I know you're going

through a rough time. I understand.

You know, not a day goes by that

I don't think about you and the Ducks.

There are no Ducks.

Orion split us apart.

You know, you left us

with a real jerk.

Orion ?

Well, maybe you don't

know the whole story.

Come on, get dressed.

Let's go.

- Go away.

- Can't do that. Come on.

[ Groans ]

- [ Gasps ]

- Get dressed, Charlie.

[ Groans ]

[ Charlie Sighs ]

What is this all about ?

- Sit down.

- [ Scoffs ]

["Waltz of the Flowers'']

[ Girl Giggling ]

That's his daughter.

She was injured in a car accident

about five years ago.

He was driving,

and they got sideswiped.

[ Girl Giggling ]

So that's why he gave up

playing pros ?

When the North Stars

left Minnesota, he stayed.

He didn't want

to disrupt her recovery.

Her doctors

and her friends were here.

[ Chuckling ]

We all just thought he was some

washed-up bully who couldn't hack it.

- He can hack it, Charlie.

- [ Sighs ]

He just simply made a choice.

I don't think he's ever

regretted it for a minute.

Come on.

Check this out.

Look at that hair.

I look like Greg Brady.

[ Both Chuckling ]

I was like you, Charlie. When I

played hockey, I was a total hotshot.

Tried to take control

of every game.

I wound up quitting.

So I tried the law.

Same thing.

I rule in the courtroom, but inside

I'm a mess. I started drinking.

Man, I was going down.

But then this...

great thing happened.

Maybe the best thing ever.

I got arrested and sentenced

to community service.

And there you were,

Charlie and the Ducks.

And as hard

as I fought it,

there you were.

You gave me a life,

Charlie.

And I want to say

thank you.

I told Orion about all this

when I talked to him about taking over.

I told him that you were

the heart of the team...

and that you would learn

something from each other.

I told him that you were

the real Minnesota miracle man.

You did ?

I did.

So be that man,

Charlie.

Be that man.

- [ Ducks Laughing, Hooting ]

- [ Goldberg ] Hey, nice move!

- [ Luis ] Hey, on your left.

- There they are.

That doesn't count.

That was below the belt.

Same old Ducks.

- Nothing's changed, Charlie.

- [ Dwayne ] Hey, it's Coach Bombay!

- Damn, Conway, what took you so long ?

- [ Averman ] Come on !

- Get in the game !

- Yeah, come on, Coach !

- Come on, guys, let's go!

- Come on.

["Never Coming Down

(Part II )'']

- [ Hoots ]

- [ Averman ] Yeah, come on, let's go !

- Let's go !

- All right ! Yes !

- You are never coming down

- [ Groaning ]

- Yeah !

- I've got it all, I can't get down

It's like being hip

to the start of a day

The start of a day

Though I'll run away

- Yes !

- All right !

Hey !

- [ Chuckling ]

- [ Others ] Yeah!

- [ Gordon Laughing ]

- Put him in the trash can !

Spacehog

Spacehog

- Try this on for size, Goldie.

- [ Goldberg Laughing, Grunting ]

Oh

Mendoza.

Fulton.

Conway ?

I want to be

on the team, Coach.

I want to play

two-way hockey.

Can I come back ?

Take a seat.

We're running late.

- Let's go. We got a game to catch.

- [ Bus Engine Starts ]

- [ Russ ] It's about time, Conway.

- [ Others Cheering ]

- Welcome back, baby !

- Welcome back!

- Yes !

- Crank her up, Mr. Bus Man!

- Oh, man,

you should have seen your face.

""Oh, Coach, I want to play two-way

hockey. Can I come back ?''

- [ Whimpering ] Ow !

- [ Laughing ]

I almost missed you.

Coach, you mind if I have

a few words with your boys ?

- And girls.

- Yes, of course.

- And girls.

- If you can make it quick, Dean.

We're running late as it is.

I'm afraid

this is important.

We have a board meeting

scheduled tomorrow,

and, well, you all

are on the agenda.

We have to think

long-term here.

What's in your

best interest.

Hard as it is

for me personally,

because you kids have been a breath

of fresh air around here,

the board is going to approve

the withdrawal of your scholarships.

Now, you'll be welcome to stay

through the end of the semester,

but after that,

it will be necessary for you...

to enjoy other

educational opportunities.

- Dean, I need a word with you.

- I think I've said all I need to say.

No, now.

""Other educational opportunities'' ?

What's he saying, Russ ?

I'll put it in terms

you can understand.

- Adios, amigo.

- [ Whispers ] "Adios, amigo. ''

Oh. I see.

So that's it ?

You're dumping 'em,just like that ?

Coach, I'm sorry. Your team

isn't performing, and I've been

under enormous pressure.

From whom ?

The alumni group ?

- A bunch of aging pep clubbers ?

- Ted, I'm trying to do you a favor.

With those kids gone,

you'll get to pick your own team.

Let's face it,

the Ducks are drowning.

I got my team.

Either they stay or I go.

We'll miss you, Ted.

- Why us ?

- 'Cause he's a slime.

- I know where that dude lives.

We're just pawns,

puppets for the stage show,

jesters to entertain the king,

barnacles on the bottom of--

- Shut up !

- Coach, is this legal ?

I mean, don't we have

contracts or something ?

I don't know

what it is.

All I know is

we're gonna fight it.

[ Buckley Clears Throat ]

Do I have a motion for reconsideration ?

[ Board Members Murmuring Qyietly ]

I'm sorry, Coach, but unless there is

a motion from a board member...

and a second,

the decision must stand.

Told you not to worry.

You leave us no choice

but to bring in our attorney.

- [ Varsity Player ] Please.

- [ Door Opens ]

[ Board Members Murmuring ]

Dean Buckley,

members of the board.

As counsel

for Coach Orion...

and the freshman hockey team,

I'm here today to set forth

your legal options,

so that you may make the best possible

decision for all parties concerned.

Mr. Bombay, this isn't

a legal proceeding.

Not yet, but I can assure you
