The Mighty Ducks

[ Announcer ] ...The Minnesota Pee Wee

Championship is up for grabs.

Both teams playing like there's

no tomorrow. Duluth, in the Hawks' zone,

looking for a chance to win it.

Only a few seconds remain.

There's a pass out to the blue line.

lntercepted by Gordon Bombay !

Bombay ! He's got a breakaway.

Across the blue line all alone

for a chance to win the game !

He's pulled down from behind

by Fox of Duluth.

Fox definitely pulled him down

from behind and this could be --

Yes, the referee calls

for a penalty shot.

Gordon, it's up to you. l don't wanna

see any goats around after the game.

You got it ?

Now, you miss this shot...

you're not just lettin' me down,

you're lettin' your team down.

[ Announcer ]

A pressure situation he's in now.

The 1973 Pee Wee State

Championship now rests...

on the little shoulders

of number 9, Gordon Bombay.

[ Cheering ]

[ Crowd chanting ]

Gordon ! Gordon !

[ Chanting ]

Gordon ! Gordon !

Let's go, son !

All right !

[ Crowd cheering ]

[ Whistle blowing ]

[ Announcer ] He hit the goalpost !

What a heartbreaker !

Little Gordon Bombay

had the chance --

All my client did was attempt

to give you what you wanted !

lsn't that right ?

This man put his neck

on the line for your greed.

Objection. Your Honour ?

Will both counsellors

approach the bench ?

[ Man ]

What's he doing ?

l don't have anything to tell you.

l just wanna make a point.

So nod like l'm saying

something important.

- Mr Bombay ?

- Gordon, what are you doing ?

- Get out there and be my lawyer.

- Perfect.

This drives him nuts

and l love it.

Nice tie, Frank.

You wore that yesterday, didn't ya ?

Oh, Mr Bombay,

l'm so glad you could make it.

Please restrict yourself

to a relevant cross-examination !

Your Honour, the applicability

of societal intent...

vis-a-vis individual action

is well established.

l'm citing

Minneapolis V. Higgins.

The appellant court overruled a judge

who disallowed similar testimony.

Now, if l'm not mistaken,

that was... you.

Wasn't it, Judge Weathers ?

l stand corrected, counsellor.

Objection overruled.

[ Frank ] Oh, you really stooped

to an all-time low on this, Bombay.

l'm insulted, Frank.

You have no idea how low l can stoop.

l don't mind losing.

l would just like to lose fair.

Losing fair is still losing, Frank.

Gotta go for the ''W'' every time.

And what about justice ?

That man should be in jail.

lt was your job to put him there.

Don't take it out on me !

Next time do your job,

Frankie boy.

- 30 and 0 ! l remain undefeated.

- What about the Frazier case ?

We don't count that one because

l scored with the court reporter.

- The one you said

had the intelligent body ?

- That's the one.

- No calls on the Duck phone ?

- Not yet.

What's he waiting for ?

l saw him in the back of the courtroom.

How about some kudos here, huh ?

Mr Tolbert dropped off a couple ringside

seats for tonight's North Stars game.

Hockey ? [ Raspberry ]

Forget it !

Gordon, here's the research

for the Pearlstein Project.

- Can you get started ?

- Jane !

Can't you see l'm reveling here ?

Today l'm 30 and 0 !

- 30 and one.

- Type, Jeannie, don't speak.

- [ Ringing ]

- Mr Bombay's office.

Yes. lt's Ducksworth.

You're right. He wants to see you.

Ha-ha-ha !

Thank you very much, Mr Ducksworth !

lt was nothing, Mr Ducksworth.

Quack, quack, quack, Mr Ducksworth.

[ Door closing ]

Gordon, another fine job today.

- Thank you, sir.

- Just one thing.

Score. Don't spike.

l'm not sure l understand

what you mean, sir.

This is a business.

lt isn't a game.

Next time a little

restraint might be in order.

[ Tyres squealing ]

Hey, man, get off my back

l'm doin' the best l can, yeah

You bust my neck

Cut no slack

- Forget your fellow man

Yeah yeah uh-huh

- [ Siren ]

- Pull your vehicle

over to the right, now !

- This is not good.

[ Muffled rock ]

- Hey, man, whoa yeah yeah

- Licence, please.

- Could you turn down the stereo ?

- Sure.

l guess it was a ''widdle'' noisy.

A ''widdle'' ?

Okay, l'm taking you down to precinct.

Breath, blood or urine ?

No, thanks, l'm full.

[ Laughs ]

Okay, out of the car. Now.

The charges against Mr Bombay

are driving under the influence,

driving with an open container

and reckless endangerment.

And to think l almost

stayed home this morning.

l assume you're

representing yourself ?

Twelve moving violations in three years?

How do you still have a licence?

Okay, let's talk business.

What am l facing ?

Suspension of licence ?

Fines ? What ?

Yes, unless the D.A.'s office will allow

you to plead guilty to lesser charges.

But that's solely

up to the prosecutor.

The city of Minneapolis does not wish

to pursue a plea bargain in this case.

- Hmm.

- Gotta go for the ''W,'' right, Gordo ?

The defendant is released

on his own recognizance.

Mr Ducksworth.

What are you doing here ?

l own the place.

How about you ?

Just goin' over a few cases.

RlCOH Statute stuff.

Oh, l thought you might be

researching your defence...

against D.U.l.

and reckless endangerment.

Did you think l wouldn't

find out, Gordon ?

There was no reason to concern you

with it, sir. They have no case.

Frank Huddy just wants my scalp.

l found a loophole.

l'm gonna plead not guilty --

Gordon, stop it.

There's not going to be a loophole.

There's not going to be a trial.

l am not going to have you drag...

this firm's good name

through the mud.

l've talked to Judge Weathers

and he has agreed to suspend your case.

- Under what conditions ?

- Probation, suspension of

your driver's licence...

and 500 hours

of community service.

And a leave of absence

from the firm.

A leave of absence ?

He can't do that.

- He can't stop me from working !

- He's not. l am.

That was my condition.

Gordon, you need a break.

- You're too wrapped up in your work.

- But, sir, my work is my life.

That's just my point.

The community service will do you good.

lt'll teach you compassion,

a sense of fair play, how to fit in.

- Community service ? This is horrible.

- You'll get used to it.

And hopefully you'll come back

a better person and a better attorney,

which is why l'm keeping you on salary

and have arranged a driver for you.

You know, in the early '70s l drove the

tour bus for The Grand Funk Railroad.

Man, that was the life.

Chicks, parties,

amps cranked up to about

eight jillion decibels.

All that loud music damaged my hearing,

but l got no regrets...

- except for the '80s.

- How could he do this to me ?

Community service...

coaching hockey !

l found one !

l'm comin' out !

[ Boy ] Karp, you finally found

something for once in your life.

Dumpster Dave comes through !

- What do you think ?

- Lovely, Karp, it goes with your eyes.

- You gonna take that from him, Karp ?

- Remind me to bust you, Averman.

- Thanks, Peter. Thanks very much.

- Did you get it ?

- Yeah ! Right there !

- Yeah !

Here, Petie. Here, boy.

A little chili
