I'm surprised no one's even thought of this one.
My favorite Coach Z moment.
COACH Z: {drunk} Hey there Marzipan, it's Coach Z... Wheeeee!
BUBS: {also drunk; in the background while Coach Z continues talking} Hey, Coach! Tell her I said, "Hey!" No, no, just—Tell her I said, "Bananas!" Tell her I said, "A bluh-buncha bananas." {continues making an unintelligible statement as Coach Z continues talking}
COACH Z: Look at me, I'm Coach Z! Oh, I'm now, I'm a poet, though. I apologize. I-I-I'm over at Bubs' place. Uh, we're just hanging out here having a good time, you know.
BUBS: {in the background; singing} Good time plus twooooo!
COACH Z: {singing} Good times times 3... makes 1, 2, Coach Z! {stops singing} See I told you I was a poet, now. Uh, so anyways, like I say, we're just hanging out over here, having a great time, and I started thinking about you, {sniffs, starts to cry}, 'cause I always have such a great time with you, 'cause you're such... you're such a beautiful person, and you're just... {sobs} You're so perfect, and, you know, I couldn't ask for more in a lady. {sniffs} Oh, geez. I'm sorry. I... {sniffs} I gotta go.
And then some time later.
COACH Z: {sober and a bit embarrassed} Hey, there, Marzipan, it's Coach Z, uh... {pause} So Bubs tells me I gave you a call last night, uh, in the wee hours, there. Um, I'm not too sure what I may have said, but I'd like to apologize... make kind of a blanket apology, cover the whole thing there, like one of them blankets you put on a fire, you know, when a, when you're burnin' leaves in the backyard and it gets out of hand and, you know, you gotta throw that blanket over there. That's what this apology is, here. So, uh... hope I didn't offend you or say anything out of turn, there. Though I suppose you can't really say nothing out of turn on a machine, right? 'Cause, you know, when's your turn on the answering machine, no-not till you call back. Okay, so now I'm just ramblin', but, uh... I am still a poet, and, uh... and don't I know it!
This to me is classic Coach Z.
