The Comrades of Summer (1992 TV Movie)

Mark Rolston: Voronov

Quotes 

• Sparky Smith : [breaking up an argument in Russian between the assistant coach and a player]  Hold it, Hold it! What's the problem here?

  Voronov : Is settled. Matter of tactics.

  Andy : It's not settled. He says the pitcher should cover first base on a Texas Leaguer instead of home.

  Sparky Smith : He's right.

  Voronov : Uh-huh!

  Andy : Even if there's a man on third?

  Voronov : Manuel says first.

  Sparky Smith : And let the run score?

  Voronov : [frustrated]  Fly ball between infield and outfield, pitcher covers first!

  Sparky Smith : Sorry, Vladimir. Runner on third changes everything. Home is a hell of a lot more important than first base.

  Voronov : [cursing in Russian, holds up a book]  Manuel says first!

  Sparky Smith : [realizing]  Manuel?

  Voronov : Prepared by Cuban baseballists and Soviet sports specialists and researchers!

  Sparky Smith : Manuel is a man-u-al?

  Voronov : Da.

  Sparky Smith : [nods. Rips page out of book and throws it away]  . Now he covers home.
