He's A Big Dreamer.

Can I Get An Autograph

With The Lights?

Alex:

Mr. Carr.

What Happened?

I Don't Know.

It Won't Start.

I Have To Get

To The Airport.

It's Got Juice.

I Had This Thing

Totally Rebuilt.

It Doesn't

Make Sense.

[Thunder]

Maybe It Does.

Try It Again.

Why? Nothing's Changed.

Just Try It, Please.

[Thunder]

[Engine Starts]

[Hood Closes]

I Don't Get It.

[Electrical Surge]

[Thunder]

I Think I'm Beginning To.

[Thunder]

I, Uh...I Called

The Electrical Company

And Because

Of The Storm,

We Won't Have Power

Till Morning.

So That Means

We Either--

We End The Game Now.

Right? Your Team Wins.

Yes!

No.

Or--Or We Start

The Emergency Generator

And We Play Until

The Fuel Runs Out.

How Much Time

Is That?

Eugene!

Huh?

How Much Time?

I Teach Algebra.

Here.

Not Too Long. Look.

What?

The Fuel's Almost Out Now.

Ha Ha Ha!

Ow!

Larry:
Let Me Get

Something Straight.

No Matter Who's Ahead--

No Matter

If There's Still Time

Left On The Clock--

Yeah.

When The Generator's Stops,

The Game Stops.

Yeah. Yeah.

Hey, Hey. We Get It.

Just Establishing

The Rules, Son.

Yeah.

Warriors! Let's Go!

Boy:
We're Playing.

All Right?

Second Boy:

Come On. Let's Go.

One More Quarter.

Let's Go, Guys.

Boy:

And Hardly Any Fuel.

We Definitely

Need A Miracle.

Whoo!

[Rumbling]

Mr. Simowitz?

You Take It From Here!

Did I Mention That

I Teach Algebra?

[Cheering]

Go. Let's Go.

15 Minutes?

The Fuel Will Run Out

Way Before Then.

We Better Work Fast Then.

[Whistle Blows]

All Right, Team!

Come On, Guys!

[Overlapping Yelling]

Get It! Get It!

[Cheering]

[Overlapping Yelling]

Yes! Did You See That?

Lions, Here.

Huddle, Huddle.

Quickly, Quickly.

Huddle. Over Here.

Quickly.

Uh--Uh, I've Got

The Answer--

The Whole Fuel

Flow Generator Thing.

I Figured Out Exactly

How Long It'll Keep Running.

You Did?

Yes.

It Was Simple Calculus,

You See.

I Measured

The Rate Of Flow

And Then The Voltage

In The Tube.

Oh, The Octane Rating

And The R.P.M.S. Genius.

Can You Show Me?

Later. Mr. Simowitz,

How Long Do We Have?

Simowitz:
Oh. Yes.

Well, The Generator

Will Run Out Of Fuel

In Exactly--Oy--

2 Minutes And 45 Seconds.

Well, 44 Seconds.

Well, 43 Now, Because

It Keeps On Every--

Let's Go. Come On.

[Whistle Blows]

Alex:
Ok. Let's Go,

Let's Go, Let's Go! Hustle!

Time.

Boy:

Time-Out!

[Whistle Blows]

Tyler, What

Are You Doing?

Ok. Come Here, Guys.

[Popping]

We Had 'Em.

We Were Coming So Hard.

We Had 'Em.

I Don't Get It. Why'd

They Call A Time-Out?

We Just Had A Time-Out.

They're Stalling.

They Want The Generator

To Run Out Of Fuel.

They're Ahead, They Win.

Boy:
Can They Do That?

Second Boy:
That's Not Fair.

We Were Catching Them.

Can They Do That?

They Can't Do That!

Boy:

They Just Did, Man.

Got 5 Minutes Left

On The Game Clock.

Lions. One Minute.

One. One Minute.

One Minute Of Fuel.

What's Up With My Dogs?

Schlots.

Hey, Guys.

They Beat Us.

Pardon Me?

They Took A Time-Out,

They Ran Down The Clock,

And They Beat Us.

I See 5 Minutes

Left On That Clock.

Yeah. Well, There's Less

Than A Minute Of Fuel

Left In The Generator.

Says Who?

Who Cares?

The Fuel Runs Out,

The Game's Over.

We Lose.

Oh. Oh, I See.

I See. So, I Guess

That Whole Story

About The Maccabees

Was Made Up Then, Huh?

How About That Part

About The Light

In The Temple That

Was Burning For 8 Days?

I Guess That Was

Just Made Up, Too.
