Ghkgrk, Please repost your question, but this time include the whole sentence. That will give yourself a better chance to get an answer from forum experts. If you can include any kind of background context, that's even better.

Like Danyoo, I have not seen the movie and am a bit confused.

Could the first phrase be "blood and *****"? These are used during forensic investigation of crime to identify the criminal(s), especially in rape cases. Would this make sense in the context?

Could the second be "dear Barbara". The start of a letter to someone called Barbara perhaps?

oh sorry about making you confused.

the whole sentence is this following:

- How is dodgeball gonna get us the $50,000?
- They have a cash prize for the winner.

- How much?
- $50,000.

Guys, we are not gonna get $50,000
for playing dodgeball.

- Why not?
- None of us know how to play dodgeball.

l do. We played it in PE last

I was hoping someone would answer your post. These lines are like an "inside joke" and only the people who know the background can appreciate.

I can only guess that "blood and *****" is just another silly game that they played.

Also 'Dear Barbara' must be playing off the term 'Dear John' which is a letter to say things are over between a couple. But since Barbara likes

the blood and ***** quote refers to earlier in the movie when someone brings up that they could sell blood and ***** to raise the money. the "dear Barbara" part tho I wonder myself.

"Dear Barbara" is an advise column for teenage girls so when LaFleur see's her room covered in unicorns, he thinks she should get some professional, psychological help with her 'teen age' obsession. It's funny.

"You had me at blood and *****" refers to a suggestion made earlier where they can sell their blood and ***** for money. Entering the dodgeball tournament is obviously a better idea so LaFleur made a raunchy play on words from "You had me at hello" from Jerry Maguire.
