but you must be obliged to watch the movie to find out what happens in that part! Toward the end of the summer, they got themselves into major pickle.

In the movie the children are mind-blowing actors and they play the part stupendously. One of the most superlative of acting they do is their insults. Most of the insults are when the sandlot kids are talking to Phillips. One of those insults are “It’s about time Benny, my clothes are going out of style.” Squints says. Then Yeah Yeah says back to him “They already are Squints” and then Squints replies with “Shut up!” Another insult is when Ham Porter is talking to Phillips and they are insulting each other and then what Ham says ends it all, “You play like a girl!” Another reason why they are stupendous actors is their facial expressions. When Squints did something daring at the pool they all looked so surprised and then had pity on their face because they knew what was going to happen to him. Also when Smalls dared to do something involving The Beast they all made a big dealing out of and and were screaming at him to
stop.
During the Talladega 500, Cal Naughton Jr., Ricky Bobby's former best friend, pulled ahead of Ricky, allowing him to slingshot around his car and pass Jean Girard. Though Cal and Girard were teammates at Dennit Racing, Cal disregarded this and jeopardized his team's success to aid Ricky in the movie Talledega Nights: The Ballad of Ricky Bobby. This moment was crucial to Ricky, he having fallen from grace, going from NASCAR's top driver to being let go by Dennit Racing. The love Cal exhibited was a selfless form of love that was centered entirely around Ricky's happiness, not his own. Because of this selflessness, Cal compromised his own agenda, winning for Dennit, and disregarded personal consequence in hopes that Ricky would win the race. If you truly love someone as Cal loved Ricky, you must sometimes compromise your own interests for their benefit.
