Major League II (1994)

James Gammon: Lou Brown

Quotes 

• Lou Brown : Come on, you're not going to let her get you down, are you? You guys won last year just to spite her. Maybe she's what we need.

  Jake Taylor : Oh, Skip, they were a different team last year.

  Lou Brown : Taylor, it's not your job to make excuses. That's all you guys do good! It's either a *leg* thing or a *spiritual* thing, or a *psychological* thing, or a *heart attack*!

  Jake Taylor : Who used heart attack?

  Lou Brown : Me.

  [collapses from a heart attack] 

• Lou Brown : How can you sell my best player without asking me?

  Roger Dorn : I'm on my ass, tapped out. I'm even going to be able to make next month's payroll.

  Lou Brown : Geez.

  Roger Dorn : But I didn't sell Parkman outright. I got you an outfielder. He used to play for the Giants.

  Lou Brown : Franklin?

  Roger Dorn : Not those Giants.

• Lou Brown : [after the Indians take the lead, Lou is using his Transistor radio to listen to the game]  Now we're starting to roll, boys.

  Lou's Nurse : Are you alright, Mr. Brown?

  Lou Brown : Uh, yeah. I love this British stuff.

  [the scene goes to the small TV which has 2 British women drinking tea] 

  Lou Brown : [after Parkman hits a home run, putting the White Sox Back in the Lead]  Damn.

  [Looks to his nurse] 

  Lou Brown : This is tragic stuff.

  [after Ceranno hits a home run, putting the Indians back in the lead] 

  Lou Brown : Good one, Pedro. Big knock, baby. Big knock

  Lou's Nurse : [after the Indians win the ALCS, Lou is jumping up and down on his bed]  Mr. Brown. What are you doing?

  Lou Brown : I love this shit, I may move to England

  [falls into his bed in excitment] 

• Rube Baker : Wow, Willie's really got some power.

  Lou Brown : Off a guy who'll be bagging groceries in a couple of weeks!

• Lou Brown : Parkman, I saw your little interview in this morning's paper. You're benched for two games and if you ever rip any of your teammates like that...

  Jack Parkman : [interrupting]  Save your breath.

  Lou Brown : What did you just say?

  Jack Parkman : You oughta listen to the radio more, Lou. Your biggest gun just got traded to Chicago. As a matter of fact, your only gun. Au revoir.

• Lou Brown : OK, we won a game yesterday. If we win today, it's called "two in a row". And if we win again tomorrow, it's called a "winning streak"... It has happened before!

• Jake Taylor : [visiting Lou in the hospital]  Hey, you're lookin' good, Lou.

  Lou Brown : Forget about me. I'm fine. You gotta talk to the team, Jake. Give 'em hell. Let 'em know they're too damn good to roll over and play dead.

  Jake Taylor : Will do, Skip. And, hey, we'll win this one for you.

  [goes to leave] 

  Lou Brown : Hey, Taylor.

  Lou Brown : Promise me one thing.

  Jake Taylor : Sure. What?

  Lou Brown : When you talk to the team, don't give 'em one of them "let's win one for Lou" corny speeches. I couldn't stand that.
