Benny Rodriguez Quotes in The Sandlot (1993)

Smalls: I was gonna put the ball back.

Squints: But it was signed by Babe Ruth!

Smalls: Yeah, you keep telling me that! Who is she?

Ham Porter: WHAT? WHAT?

Kenny: The sultan of swat!

Bertram: The king of crash!

Timmy: The colossus of clout!

Tommy: The colossus of clout!

All: BABE RUTH!

Ham Porter: THE GREAT BAMBINO!

Smalls: Oh my god! You mean that's the same guy?

All: YES!

Benny Rodriguez: Smalls, Babe Ruth is the greatest baseball player that ever lived. People say he was less than a god but more than a man. You know, like Hercules or something. That ball you just aced to The Beast is worth, well, more than your whole life.

Smalls: [Falls to the ground and clutches his stomach, groaning] I don't feel so good.

All: [Fanning Scott with their caps] Give him air, give him air.

Ham Porter: [mimicking Babe Ruth with a cigar in his mouth; can't understand him] Check this out. I'm the Great Bambino.

Sandlot Kids: What?

Ham Porter: [still can't understand him] I'm the Great Bambino!

Sandlot Kids: What?

Ham Porter: [takes cigar out of mouth] I'm the Great Bambino.

Sandlot Kids: Oh!

Smalls: Who's that?

Smalls: [narrating] I had no idea what they were talking about.

Ham Porter: What did he say?

Bertram: What? Were you born in a barn, man?

Yeah Yeah: Yeah yeah, what planet are you from?

Smalls: [narrating] But there was no *way* I could let them know.

Squints: You've never heard of the sultan of swat?

Kenny: The titan of terror.

Timmy: The colossus of clout!

Tommy: The colossus of clout!

Benny Rodriguez: The king of crash, man.

Smalls: [narrating] So, I lied.

Smalls: Oh! The Great Bambino. Of course. I thought you said the great Bambi.

Ham Porter: That wimpy deer?

Benny Rodriguez: Man, you think too much! I bet you get straight A's and shit!

Scotty Smalls: No, I got a B once. Well, actually it was an A minus but it should have been a B.

Benny Rodriguez: Man, this is baseball, you gotta stop thinking! Just have fun. If you were having fun, you would have caught that ball!

Ham Porter: Benny, why'd you bring that kid?

Benny Rodriguez: Because he makes nine of us.

Yeah Yeah: Yeah yeah, so does my sister, but I didn't bring her along!

Sandlot Kids: [after Wendy Peffercorn pulls Squints from the pool] Squints! Come on Squints!

Ham Porter: Come on Squints. Squints!

Timmy: Come on, Squints, come on!

Scotty Smalls: [shouts] Come on, Squints. You can do it! Pull through, bud!

Benny Rodriguez: Come on, man, come on!

Yeah Yeah: Yeah yeah, he looks pretty crappy.

Tommy: Squints! Come on man!

Bertram: My God, he looks like a dead fish.

Sandlot Kids: [Squints opens his eyes and smiles] *What*?

Wendy Peffercorn: [Squints kisses Wendy]

[muffled scream]

Wendy Peffercorn: *Ugh!* *Little pervert!*

Timmy: Aww, man, he's in deep *shit!*

Squints: the kid is a L7 weenie.

Yeah Yeah: yeah yeah, Oscar Myer even, footlong, dodger dog, a weenie!

All: ohhh haha

Benny Rodriguez: what are you laughing at Yeah Yeah? you run like a duck!

Yeah Yeah: kay kay, but I'm... I'm...

Benny Rodriguez: Part of the game right?

Yeah Yeah: mmm... Yeah?

Benny Rodriguez: Now how come he don't get to be?

Bertram: hes a geek man

All: he can't catch.

Benny Rodriguez: [looks back at smalls] Man base up you blockheads.

Benny Rodriguez: [referring to the chewed-up baseball] That's really nice of you, but that ball really is signed by Babe Ruth.

Mr. Mertle: So's this one... with the rest of the 1927 Yankees.

Benny Rodriguez: Anyone who wants to be a can't-hack-it pantywaist who wears their mama's bra, raise your hand.

Benny Rodriguez: Man, this is baseball. You gotta stop thinking. Just have fun. I mean, if you were having fun you would've caught that ball. You ever have a paper route?

Smalls: I helped a guy once.

Benny Rodriguez: Okay, well chuck it like you throw paper. When your arm gets here, just let go. Just let go, it's that easy.

[starts to jog away]

Smalls: How do I catch it.

Benny Rodriguez: Just stand out there and stick your glove out in the air. I'll take care of it.

Benny Rodriguez: [about Smalls' hat] Got a fireplace?

Scotty Smalls: Yeah.

Benny Rodriguez: Throw that in there, man.
