[SIGHS] I just...
I need to clear my head.

Okay.

Why the long face?

Well, Buddy, team's falling apart,

and every human being alive
is about to be annihilated.

Shame.

The way I see it, bowling is all about

bending elbows with friends
and wetting your beaks.

Best bowling happens when
you're not thinking at all.

Can't b*at bad energy with bad energy.

You're right.

I've been going about this all wrong.

Thank you, Buddy.

Whoa, the game isn't done yet.

The scoreboard looming over
our head is stressing us out,

and besides, it doesn't matter
if we win or lose

if we're not a team first.

You do realize
that the Earth gets destroyed

if we lose, right?

Well, okay, yes,
the outcome does matter,

but we're not gonna win
by tearing each other apart.

I mean, guys, we're not even losing

to the Pin K*llers right now.

We're losing to ourselves.

And what we do from this moment on

decides the fate of our planet.

So I'm asking you,

are we losers, or are we Legends?

Huh, do I have a Legend?
Do I have a Legend?

There we go, that's that team spirit.
