Bull Durham

The original quote, with slang

Crash Davis: Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to the bigs with fungus on your shower shoes. Think classy, you'll be classy. If you win twenty in the show, you can let the fungus grow back and the press'll think you're colorful. Until you win twenty in the show, however, it means you are a slob.

What does it mean?

Crash Davis: Your shower shoes have fungus on them. You'll never make it to Major League Baseball with fungus on your shower shoes. Think like a high class person and you'll be a high class person. If you win twenty games on a Major League team, you can let the fungus grow back and the reporters will think you're interesting. Until you have done that, however, it means you are a messy, dirty person.

Annie Savoy: I want you.

The original quote, with slang

Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the cock, the pussy, the small of a woman's back, the hanging curve ball, high fiber, good scotch, that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated crap. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing Astroturf and the designated hitter. I believe in the sweet spot, soft-core pornography, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than Christmas Eve, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.

What does it mean?

Crash Davis: Well, I believe in the soul, the penis, the vagina, the narrow area of a woman's back, a baseball that is pitched so that I can easily hit it far, lots of fiber in my food, good scotch, and that the novels of Susan Sontag are self-indulgent, overrated and horrible. I believe Lee Harvey Oswald acted alone when he killed President John F. Kennedy. I believe there ought to be a constitutional amendment outlawing artificial grass and the rule that allows a baseball team to choose a player at the beginning of the game to substitute for the pitcher in batting. I believe in hitting the baseball with the part of the bat that vibrates less and doesn't hurt my hands as much, pornography that doesn't show sex acts in a very explicit way, opening your presents Christmas morning rather than the night before Christmas, and I believe in long, slow, deep, soft, wet kisses that last three days.
