Everybody Wants Some!! (film)

Everybody Wants Some!! is a 2016 film about a group of college baseball players in 1980 who navigate their way through the freedoms and responsibilities of unsupervised adulthood. Directed and written by Richard Linklater. Here for a Good Time Not a Long Time  (taglines) Finnegan Have you noticed whenever we're around baseball all we talk about is pussy. Now, we're actually around a few potentially interesting young women, all you talk about is baseball. It's a little fucked up! That just went from cute to restraining order. Charlie Willoughby We came for a good time, not for a long time. Don't be afraid to let the experience find you. Beverly Things only mean as much as the meaningfulness that we allow them to have. Glen McReynolds [about practice] "Voluntary" means mandatory. Maybe one of the best days of my life here, Nez. You know, until tomorrow. Other Dale Douglas: This ain't high school, man. This is a new level. You have not earned teammate status yet...And until you do, you're nobody. Jay: I'm too fuckin' philosophical for this shit! Dialogue Roper: Look at what we have here! Hey, ladies! Party later tonight at the baseball houses. Bev's Friend: You should be investing this energy elsewhere. Roper and Finn: [together] Lesbians. Beverly: I like the quiet guy in the back seat. Roper: Whoop, there's nothing here. Jake: I can see how that would be threatening, new guy coming in getting all the ladies... That was a joke. Plummer: I've got your joke right here. Finn: Did he just call his dick a joke? Dale: That's what he implied. Dale: Lookit. Jake: What? What's up? Dale: Finn's in his average cock mode. Right now, I guarantee you he's telling those girls about how he has an average cock. Jake: Why the hell would he do that? Dale: See, no, it's genius, actually. See, he tells girls that he has an average cock, and while that might only seem moderately compelling on paper, women find it a relief from all the guys talking about how huge they are. Finn: [to a group of girls] I'm a performer, all right? I'm a grower, not a shower. Dale: See all that fun, all that laughing? Jake: Yeah, yeah. Dale: They're talking about his dick, man! Jake: Fuckin' with me. Dale: No...You heard of "foot in the door"? Jake: Of course. Dale: Finn's got his dick in the door. Jake: That's fucking genius. Dale: Genius. Yes! Plummer: I don't know about this country bar, man. Dale: Wait, wait, wait. What the Charlie Pride are you talking about? We're just gonna do a quick wardrobe change, and we're there. Finnegan: All right, I gotta say, I hate all this Cotton-Eyed Joe, "Looking for love in all the wrong places." What, Disco Boy now wearing a cowboy hat and boots and shit? Dale: Yeah. Finnegan: It's unbelievable that's trendy now everywhere! Jake: Does that mean you're not going? Finn: I didn't say that. Roper: We have a little tradition welcoming the new guys. Everyone: [to the freshman, taped up onto a wall] Freshman batting practice! Plummer: Welcome to the big time, boys. Willoughby: [while smoking pot] God. Listen to this song. Listen to this progression here, okay? Listen to how it goes up. It steps up from one moment to another and leads you there, just...Oh, yes. I mean, look, you can play an E pentatonic scale at 100 miles an hour till somebody's ears burn off, you can learn that, right? But finding the tangents within the framework, therein lies the artistry, man. You know, a fucking bunch of dudes jump around on stage, jerking each other off, you know, in spandex, isn't fucking music. Plummer: I don't know, man. I kinda like Van Halen. Willoughby: Well, yeah, Plum, you do. And you know why you do? Because corporate America is shoving something down your throat and making you believe it, because that's what they want you to believe. I mean, guys, it's about finding out who you are in the space in-between the notes that they're offering you. I mean, you gotta tune in, man. You gotta tune in. You know, and don't be afraid to let the experience find you. It's like Carl Sagan says, man, "The beauty of a living thing isn't about the atoms that go into it, it's how those atoms are put together." I mean, language, fucking language. What is language? Language is a construct, man. You know? And we used to be telepathic. Humans were telepathic, man. We could just... Right here. You know? The fucking Mayans knew it, man. The Druids fucking knew it. And you think the way things are going now that we're ever gonna get that back? Fucking no. No. It's about finding out who you are. You gotta tune in, man. You guys want to try a little telepathic stuff? Dale: Let's do it. Willoughby: Okay, what am I thinking about? Dale: Baseball Plummer: Having a tail. Jake: Cereal. Willoughby: I was thinking about sharks. Plummer: Sharks have tails. Willoughby: Good point, that's a good point. Coma: I wish I had a tail. Fuck, that'd be awesome. Jake: Hey, have you noticed everything around here's a competition, huh? Even taking hits from bongs. Finnegan: Look at you, ping-pong pimp. Jake: Yeah! You see that back there though? Mac almost took my head off. Finnegan: Hey, look, if Mac wanted to take your head off with that paddle, he would have. All right, man, he just don't like losing at anything. None of us do. Fuck yeah! Jake: Okay, look, that's just, what, Willoughby, borderline insane? Finnegan: About there? Jake: Yeah, border. Borderline. Finnegan: Well, you notice how everybody was somewhat courteous on the first day or so? Jake: Yeah. Finnegan: See, now the gloves are off. All of our true assholish nature is emerging. Ah. Not very healthy. Until we get out on the field, Jakie. This, this, all of this, this is why we're one of the best teams in the nation, man. You get a bunch of competitors together... Jake: Yeah. Finnegan: ...and you're addicted to winning. That's a championship team right there... Jake: Oh, I see. Coma: [at a punk party] I don't really think we fit in here. Finnegan: No no, you don't fit in. Okay I told you to change. Will you at least untuck your shirt? You look like a bible salesman. Coma: These people could really use the bible. Jake: I'm starting to have an identity crisis. We danced out of disco, danced to Cotton-Eyed Joe in shitkicker attire, here we are, punks for a night. Willoughby: You gotta fucking embrace your inner strange, man. Just be fucking weird, you know? And when you do that, you bring who you are, never who they want. And that, my friend, is when it gets fun. Beverly: How did you know what room I was in? Jake: I'm an investigative journalism major. Beverly: So, I guess you know my name then. Jake: Yes, as soon as you tell me. Finnegan: It's all so damn tribal. That's the pack mentality, all the adrenaline. Jake: Does that mean you're not going? Finnegan: I didn't say that. Beverly: It's kind of beautiful, isn't it? Jake: What? Beverly: That we get to feel passion in this world, you know about anything. Jake: The gods intend Sisyphus to suffer, right? [Beverly nods] Jake: Well, my point was that they'd actually blessed him with something to focus on, something that he could potentially find meaning in. It's a gift to be striving at all, even if it looks futile to others. I mean, yeah, it's ridiculous to roll a boulder up a mountain over and over and over again, but so is everything else in life.
