:44:33
My name is Cotton McKnight
:44:34
and with me, as always,
is my partner in crime, Pepper Brooks.
:44:38
Yeah. Cotton, hey.
:44:40
Everybody, 32 teams in play, that means
four wins is gonna get you in the final match,
:44:45
the fifth win getting you
the 50K that everyone's chasing.
:44:49
Cotton.
:44:50
There's an electricity in the air,
a palpable hue of anticipation.
:44:55
Immortality - five simple victories away.
:44:59
They've come from all over - Kathmandu
to Timbuktu, and all points in-between -
:45:03
to compete in the one
true human test - dodgeball.
:45:08
A reminder.
All players must be vaccinated
:45:11
for cholera, syphilis and shingles
before play begins.
:45:15
Again, dyslexic players
will not be allowed on the court.
:45:20
Team Blitzkrieg to the tournament floor
for a first-round match.
:45:24
Only ADAA balls will be used.
:45:27
Personal balls of any kind
are strictly prohibited.
:45:31
- Hey.
- Hey. What's in the box?
:45:33
Guys, I figured a real dodgeball team
needs real dodgeball uniforms.
:45:38
So I threw out those old ratty ones
and designed these myself.
:45:42
All right. Now we got our thing going on,
maybe we'll start smacking each other.
:45:46
I hope everything fits.
:45:50
- Wait.
- Nice.
:45:53
This isn't right.
This isn't what I ordered.
