![]() ![]() Wallace in the end hit a ball into Gromit's inflated vest, attempting to burst it but it did nothing, bounced and Wallace yelled "Ha-ha, 15 love!". This completely blocks the goal, enabling the balls to bounce off and prompting Wallace to suggest that they play tennis instead. Pulling a cord, he inflates his goalkeeper vest and gloves. Meanwhile Gromit has pulled on gloves and pilot gear. The machine runs out of balls, but Wallace re-loads it via an overhead mechanism that dumps the balls in. Realizing how skillful Gromit is at blocking shots, Wallace activates his Soccamatic - a machine that repeatedly launches balls toward the goal, previously owned by a fictional soccer team in 1936 (The year the contraption was made was even on the machine.). Wallace and Gromit head to the local football field for a bit of practice, with Wallace kicking and Gromit playing goalie.
