Homer’s brother, Jim, talks to one of the players. “Hey, take it easy on my kid brother. Make him look good, all right?”
“Let’s go! Hut!” says the quarterback. Homer gets flattened by the defense.
“Now. Set. Hut two!” says the quarterback. Again, Homer is flattened. The scene repeats several times.
“I told you to take it easy on him!” says Jim to his teammate.
“I did take it easy on him!” replies the teammate.
“I’m gonna run right over you, you son of a bitch!” says Homer. The teammate rolls his eyes.
“You hear me?” shouts Homer.
“Hut one! Hut two!” Homer is flattened, hard, again.
“Homer, you sure got guts…” says the coach. “But you gotta know when to quit. Okay, Miller, you’re up!”
