Duke: "Lava-lava" Lenny, weight: 325 lbs. Height 6'4"... position: front four." Boss, I've been following this kid since my Samoan days, and believe me, he's magnificent! Voice: You don't understand, Duke! I've had it with veterans! Your predecessor loaded this ball club with old-timers, and now we haven't a damn thing to build with! Duke: That's because George Allen never thought big enough, boss! And believe me, "Lava-lava" Lenny is absolutely the best front four playing those positions today! Boss, being blocked by "Lava-lava" is like being run over by a Buick! I need that kind of talent if I'm going to get the 'skins cooking this season! Voice: You want him that bad, huh? How far would you go in a trade? Duke: I would trade your small son. Voice: Forget it. I saw what that did to Allen's family.
