- Larry Willingham: Framm! Where did you get that?
- Josh Framm: It was in my locker.
- Coach Barker: Well, it wasn't supposed to be.
- Josh Framm: Would it be too much trouble if I tried out anyway?
- Tom: Coach, just let him.
- Coach Barker: All right, but if you slow down my tryout, I'm gonna have to pull you out.
- Josh Framm: [During first Timberwolves & Warriors basketball game, Buddy comes into gymnasium and knocked basketball out of a Warrior's grip] Buddy!

- Josh Framm: Buddy, stop!
- Referee #1: Hey, gimme that ball.
- Jackie Framm: [Loose basketball then hits a Gatorade ice-chest, causing a big spill on gymnasium floor] Excuse me.
- Josh Framm: Get back here.

- Josh Framm: Buddy, no!
- [Buddy then causes a rack of basketballs to spill, onto floor]
- Josh Framm: Buddy, no!

- Josh Framm: Buddy, bad dog!
- Jackie Framm: Sorry, Josh. Come on, Buddy.
- Josh Framm: [after the game] Hey, boy.
- Jackie Framm: Did you know that Buddy could do that? Did you know that Buddy could play basketball?
- Principal Pepper: [chuckling] There he is! Oh, the man of the hour! And the dog! I swear, I wouldn't have believed it, if I hadn't seen it with my own two eyes! A basketball-playing dog! A regular Michael "Woof" Jordan! You've been keeping this under your hats! Oh, I'm going off like a faucet. Melissa, this is Mrs. Framm... and her talented son, Josh.
- Melissa: Hi.
- Josh Framm: Hi.
- Melissa: I'm the president, of the Booster Club and wondered if you and...
- Josh Framm: Buddy.
- Melissa: Buddy could do that trick, at the next half-time show.
- Principal Pepper: Wouldn't he be a great mascot?
- Josh Framm: [Buddy leaves them, going back to the gymnasium, having overheard Coach Barker shouting at and mistreating Timberwolf Tom Stewart] Buddy? Buddy!
- Coach Barker: You're never going to drop another ball, Stewart!
- [starts throwing a group of basketballs at Tom Stewart too hard and too fast for him to successfully catch any of them, to vent out his anger]
- Principal Pepper: [opens the gymnasium door] What's going on here?
- Coach Barker: Just running Tom through a little drill.
- Principal Pepper: That'll be enough, Joe. That will be enough.
- Josh Framm: [Josh pets Buddy's head at gymnasium door] Good boy!

- [Josh climbs up the bleachers past Larry]
- Larry Willingham: How you doin', buddy?
- Coach Barker: All right, listen up!
- [Josh takes his seat as Coach Barker approaches]
- Coach Barker: Now, you're here today to try out for the school's finest tradition: basketball. Now, I've got five of my boys back from last year, including leading scorer Larry Willingham. Raise your hands, gentlemen.
- [Larry, Greg and three other boys raise their hands]
- Coach Barker: This year, we are going all the way. Why's that, Willingham?
- Larry Willingham: Because we're winners, sir.
- Coach Barker: That's right. We are here to win, because if you can win on the courts, you can win at life. Get your butts out here and let's see if you can play ball.
- [Coach Barker blows his whistle and everyone comes out on the court and begins playing except Josh]
- Coach Barker: What team you playing for? What team you playing for?
