Daily Dialogue — October 13, 2019

Having a bad day of golfing due to a member of the crowd.

Happy Gilmore: That guy’s driving me crazy!
Bob Barker: You know what’s driving me crazy? You, not getting the ball in the hole.
Happy Gilmore: Don’t push me, Bob! Now’s not the time.

Happy hits the ball, which hits a man standing on a boat, who then falls into the water.

Bob Barker: This guy sucks!
Announcer: We haven’t seen Happy Gilmore play this badly since his first day on tour. He and Bob Barker are now dead-last.
Bob Barker: I can’t believe you’re a professional golfer! I think you should be working at the snack bar.
Happy Gilmore: [Angrily, with teeth clenched] You better relax, Bob.
Bob Barker: There is no way that you could have been as bad at hockey as you are at golf!
Happy Gilmore: All right, let’s go!

Happy throws down his club and punches Bob in the face, who falls to the ground.

Happy Gilmore: You like that, old man? You want a piece of me?
Bob Barker: I don’t want a piece of you, I want the whole thing!

Punches Happy in the gut, then proceeds to punch him in the face ten times, sending Happy falling into a pond.

Happy Gilmore: Now you’re gonna get it, Bobby!

Happy grabs his club and swings at Bob, who blocks, punches Happy in the face, then throws him to the ground. Happy tackles Bob, resulting in both of them rolling down a hill. At the bottom, Happy headbutts Bob.

Happy Gilmore: The price is wrong, bitch!

Bob grabs Happy’s throat, stands up, punches Happy in the gut twice, and once in the face before Happy falls down again.

Bob Barker: I think you’ve had enough. [Starts to walk away, but notices Happy start to stand up again] No?

Kicks Happy in the face.

Bob Barker: [while walking away] Now you’ve had enough… bitch.
