In the opening scene, Bobby demonstrates his occupational dedication by distilling and purifying every drop of water, which he distributes to the players with a contraption reminiscent of the Ghostbusters' particle-beam backpacks. The waterboy is fired after Coach Red (Jerry Reed) decides that the players...
