He nails Harrison, and he dragged him down...
As if he were gonna hogtie him too.
J.B. Logan was there to help out.
Anderson's ninth tackle. He has two of them behind the line of scrimmage.
Give Harrison four yards to the 26.
Stoney Walker's coming in and Rufus middleton is going out.
That gives middleton a breather.
Has he been burning up a few Miles today on the stadium turf!
Rufus middleton. All right, it's second and six on the 26.
Stoney Walker deployed wide right, Larry singer left.
How long do we have to keep watching this crap?
He had some room to run...
Except for that man from Jacksonville, Florida, James Washington LA Croix,
Who made a good, sure low tackle...
Just as Harrison was about to spurt deep into the secondary.
We've had ourselves quite an exciting ball game this afternoon, fans.
Only a moron could sit and watch two football games,
One after the other.
Victorio covers him there. Singer left.
It's about time Robinson went to singer.
Harrison and mancusso are split behind Robinson.
Robinson gives instead to Harrison, up the middle again.
He may have the first down as he plows close to the 20 yard line.
Let's see where they mark the ball.
Billy jacoby and Sonny Anderson again making the tackle.
It's going to be... thank God.
Mmm.
I feel so good. I feel so relaxed.
You know, the help is off, crewe.
The phones are off.
We're all alone.
Let's get it on, honey. Come on.
Hey! Come on, honey.
Let's get it on, honey. Come on.
Wake up, baby. Come on.
Let's get it on, honey. Come on.
You know it'll be good. You know how good it'd be.
Let's get it on, honey. Come on.
- Come on, crewe! - Get off of me!
Let's get it on, honey. Come on.
That son of a bitch!
Where the hell do you think you're going?
Splitting. Splitting.
Where the hell do you think you're going?
Mm-hmm. You split when I tell you to split,
where the hell do you think you're going?
You all-American son of a bitch.
Where the hell do you think you're going?
Lovely, lovely.
Where the hell do you think you're going?
And when you walk out, stay out!
You're too expensive to be useless.
And when you walk out, stay out!
Whore!
That's exactly what you are, a whore.
Whore!

Where are your goddamn keys? Don't touch my keys.
I never looked at it that way before. Everybody's bought you.
Ow!
I never looked at it that way before. Everybody's bought you.
I think the love has gone out of our relationship.

Young people can learn a great deal from a skillfully played football game.
Offense, defense, spirit of achievement, teamwork.
Young people can learn a great deal from a skillfully played football game.
You might say...
The game embodies what has made our country great.
It's a great game. It's played by great men.
The game embodies what has made our country great.
Uh...
We, uh... we have something of a football team here ourselves, you know.
Uh...
First rank, semipro, southeastern league,
runner up, national champions past five years.
First rank, semipro, southeastern league,
Mr. Crewe, what do you think of semipro ball?
Semipro's a joke.
Mr. Crewe, what do you think of semipro ball?
Well,
Perhaps we could use a few pointers from the big leagues.
Well,
Captain, what do you say to Mr. Crewe looking in,
well,
And giving us the benefit of his invaluable knowledge?
Well,
That's a real good idea, warden. We can use all the help we can get.
Well,
Uh-huh.
Well,
Well?
Well,
I haven't picked a football up in eight years. I'm not in very good shape.
Well,
Nobody's asking you to play, Mr. Crewe.
Well,
What we need is a coach, new blood.
Well,
A new game plan?
Well,
Anybody who's pro football's most valuable player...
Has got something special, and I want to have that.
I'm not interested in football anymore.
Mr. Crewe, uh,
I don't mind saying, I pulled a lot of strings to get you down here.
Mr. Crewe, uh,
well, I appreciate that.
Mr. Crewe, uh,
look,
Mr. Crewe, uh,
what I want is a national title.
Mr. Crewe, uh,
if perchance you should help us achieve that goal,
I expect your stay here with us will be very agreeable.
If perchance you should help us achieve that goal,
well?
I just wanna do my time and then get out of here.
Very well.
I just wanna do my time and then get out of here.
All right, I'll turn you over to the good hands of captain knauer.
Swamp reclamation.
All right, I'll turn you over to the good hands of captain knauer.
Get him out of here.
Captain? Yes, sir?
I'd like a word with you.
Captain? Yes, sir?
For the past five years...
You've promised me the national title.
For the past five years...
And for each of those years, you've come up short.
For the past five years...
You know how hard I try, sir. When I want an answer, I'll indicate it.
For the past five years...
Yes, sir. You've asked for bonus money.
For the past five years...
Certainly take their football seriously, don't they?
For the past five years...
This year you've asked for new game uniforms. I've okayed them.
For the past five years...
Everything you've asked for, I've given you!
For the past five years...
I appreciate it, sir, but... now,

I want that title.

You will give me that title or you will be out of a job.

For the past five years...
This is your last chance!

Prison is no different from any other community.
For the past five years...
Ever find any spiders in it?
For the past five years...
authority in here, then I haven't done my job.
For the past five years...
- I'm not being unreasonable, am I? - No, sir.
For the past five years...
Then you'll give me the title? Yes, sir.
For the past five years...
Good!
For the past five years...
And I want that man out there.
And I want you to make that son of a bitch enthusiastic!
And I want that man out there.
Did you ever do it standing up?
All right, let's move it.

But shavin' points off a football game, man, that's un-American.
Real friendly types you got around here.
You take your football here real serious, don't you?

Oh, my God! What the hell is that?
That's a member of the warden's football team.
Oh, my God! What the hell is that?
Some of these guards are not just everyday run-of-the-mill guards.
Oh, my God! What the hell is that?
Crewe!
Granville! Front and center!
Crewe!

Man, for God's sake, get up!
No, son! You gotta get off the bunk!
Come on, on your feet. Listen to me.
No, son! You gotta get off the bunk!
Nobody's allowed on the bunks till five minutes before lights out.
No, son! You gotta get off the bunk!
They'll put you in the oven.
Man, that can kill ya!
Did you have any supper yet?
No.
Did you have any supper yet?
Later I'll try to get you some chow.
Did you have any supper yet?
You gotta eat, man, or you'll die of mono.

Pass the salt.
Boy.
He's here.
That's gonna get you 24 hours in the hot box, boy.

What makes you so tough?
I don't know. It just comes natural.
What makes you so tough?
That'll cost you, boy.
Rise and shine!
Rise and shine.
Rise and shine!
Oh, it's room service.
Pretty gamey.
Oh, it's room service.
Take a shower. Put on some clean whites.
The warden wants to see ya. The warden?
Take a shower. Put on some clean whites.
Get on down there.
Take a shower. Put on some clean whites.
- Set! - Well?
- What do you think of my team? - Mean.
- Set! - Well?
Crude but mean.
- Set! - Well?
Ah, I was depending on you, you know?
- Set! - Well?
Well, there's so little time left now.
It's quite a problem.
Well, there's so little time left now.
They need something before that first game.
Well, there's so little time left now.
You have to win the first game? Right.
Well, that's relatively simple. Mmm?
You have to win the first game? Right.
Yeah. Get yourself a tune-up game, you know?
You have to win the first game? Right.
A what? A tune-up game like the pros have.
You have to win the first game? Right.
You find yourself some hungry semipro team that's not in your league.
You have to win the first game? Right.
You bring 'em in here and you kick the shit out of 'em.
You have to win the first game? Right.
Well,
you have to win the first game? Right.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
That team against the pros? Yeah.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
You'd have a real problem. Ah.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
Well... well, uh,
how do you think we'd do against the pros?
How do you think we'd do against the cons?
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
I didn't know the cons had a team. They don't.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
But you've given me an inspiration.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
I've decided, Mr. Crewe, that you're gonna put one together for me.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
For that little tune-up game, you know?
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
And you're gonna play quarterback.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
I can't do that.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
Why not? They're semipro. We wouldn't have a chance...
how do you think we'd do against the pros?
You said so yourself. It's a big joke.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
That's why people like to have me around. Because I have a sense of humor.
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
Mr. Crewe,
how do you think we'd do against the pros?
As old Mr. Sam used to say,
how do you think we'd do against the pros?
"In this institution,
how do you think we'd do against the pros?
To get along, you go along."
How do you think we'd do against the pros?
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
I'm just gonna do what's left of my 18 months quietly,
wait a minute! Wait a minute!
And I'm out of here. Oh, yes.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
Eighteen months.
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
But that was to make parole.
That was before you struck captain knauer.
Your basic sentence is from two to five years.
You could be here with us a long time, Mr. Crewe.
Your basic sentence is from two to five years.
If I get this team together,
how long do I have to get them organized? Four weeks.
If I get this team together,
we're talkin' about early parole, right? I believe we are.
All right, I'll play.
What? I didn't hear you.
All right, I'll play.
I'll play. Sir.
I'll play, sir.
I'll play. Sir.
History.
I read you like a book, Mr. Crewe.
History.
One more thing. What is it?
History.
You keep knauer off my back.
History.
Give us a game, Mr. Crewe.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
"Anyone with any experience or desire.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Prison football team. Sign up."
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
What do you think?
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
- Maybe I'll get annihilated. - Forget it.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Wait a second. Hey!
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Here's the way I look at it.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Suppose you break your leg or something like that.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
That's six weeks easy time in the hospital. To me, that's biscuits and gravy.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Tell me somethin'. Would they let me play tackle?
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Sure.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
That means I spend half the time lookin' directly across into walkin' boss's eyes, right?
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Now you got it. I always had a thing for walkin' boss.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Yeah, and walkin' boss always had a thing for you.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Hold it, hold it. Don't you guys know a good thing when you see it?
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
You get a free crack at the guards! Not to mention, a chance to kill one of 'em!
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
Legal! Bullshit! I ain't signing that damn thing.
- I'll give you a game. - "Hit and be hit.
This honky golden boy sold out his own teammates, didn't he? He damn sure did.
He did it once, he'll do it again!
This honky golden boy sold out his own teammates, didn't he? He damn sure did.
Hi. Hi.
You know you're doin' it all wrong? Oh, yeah?
Hi. Hi.

I'm, uh, Paul crewe. Yeah, I know.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
You made all pro your last year, didn't you? Right.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
Why'd you quit? It was a simple decision.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
Doc said quit football or quit walking. My knee had all the operations it could take.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
I figured walking was better than sitting.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
Maybe I made the wrong choice.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
Anyway, you got 15 guys that're worth a damn. The rest...
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
How long did hazen give you to get 'em ready? A month.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
You bought a bill of goods. I didn't have any choice.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
And you don't have one black player out there.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
There are at least 15 in this prison with enough experience to make this club.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
None of 'em signed up.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
I played eleven years in the league, never even got a hangnail.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
I'm not gonna get hurt in this game.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
I'm gonna get the biggest guys I can find and surround myself. I know the guards.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
I've watched them play for 11 years. I've seen how they've won games and why they lost 'em.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
I know those bums better than they know themselves.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
You just got yourself a job. Head coach.
Nate scarboro, giants? Yeah.
Great bunch of guys you got here.
"Strangled both wives with pantyhose."
Great bunch of guys you got here.
"Triple murder, including body dismemberment."
Great bunch of guys you got here.
"Hacked mother with meat cleaver."
Great bunch of guys you got here.
Charming, charming.
Great bunch of guys you got here.
Double-check the ones with two stars because they're the most violent.
Great bunch of guys you got here.
Got any with three stars?
Great bunch of guys you got here.
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
Captain,
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
Not only will you have the chance to hone our team to a fine edge,
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
You'll also have the opportunity to learn a great deal about life.
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
Why is it, do you suppose,
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
That I can walk through this yard...
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
Surrounded by hate and in total command?
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
'Cause you got 15 gun turrets around you that say you can.
Warden, I think this game's a big mistake.
Partly, partly.
They could stop us right now, grab us,
partly, partly.
Slit our throats.
Partly, partly.
But they don't.
Partly, partly.
We get the right person in the right place at the right time,
partly, partly.
We can surprise the shit out of 'em one game, one time.
Partly, partly.
We can do it! You guys about through?
Partly, partly.
Time's almost up. Okay, pop. Hold your water.

Sonny tannen. Strong as an ox. You'll love him.
What more can I tell you? Yeah?
Is that him? That's him.

Sign him up. I'm way ahead of you.
- See you around. - Look forward to it.
Sign him up. I'm way ahead of you.
Samson, huh? Aah!
Samson. Don't cut your hair.
What do you think?
Defensively we can hold 'em to two or three touchdowns.
But we need better pass receiving, and more speed in the backfield to win.
To win?
I'm just talking about surviving. Who's talking about winning?
To win?
So am I.
To win?
This just isn't a football game to the warden.
To win?
He shows you and this team up and he's showin' up the whole prison population.
To win?
Nate, it's just a game.
All I wanna do is come out of it alive. It's just a game.
Nate, it's just a game.
Not to him it isn't.
Nate, it's just a game.
It's a fear and violence philosophy.
Nate, it's just a game.
He's given us this chance to be free for a few hours,
Nate, it's just a game.
To try and be men again, so he can destroy us.
Nate, it's just a game.
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
then you're as crazy as he is.
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
well, maybe so.
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
but you spend 14 years in this tank,
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
and you begin to understand that you've only got two things left...
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
they can't sweat out of you or beat out of you.
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
your balls. And you better hang on to 'em...
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
because they're about the only thing you're gonna have when you get out of here.
Nate, if you're thinking about winning this game,
good night, Nate. Good night.
The use of toilet facilities is suspended for two hours...
Good night, Nate. Good night.
Until repairs are completed.
Good night, Nate. Good night.
Sorry, men.
Good night, Nate. Good night.
- Mason. - Yeah.
Follow my lead. We're gonna do this sucker.
- Mason. - Yeah.
Yeah.
- Mason. - Yeah.
Might as well see what this boy wants.
Pretty boy, we know what you want, man. We don't play no ball.
Might as well see what this boy wants.
Figured you did.
Might as well see what this boy wants.
Well, we do, but we don't. There it is.
Might as well see what this boy wants.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
Yeah. Pros.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
I understand, but we no longer perform for the honky's amusement.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
Say, man, I'll play.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
- But you gotta guarantee me one thing. I'll start. - You got it.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
All right.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
What's wrong with you, nigger? We don't fuck with them.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
- I'm gonna play football. - But not with them honkies, man.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
You better leave. I'll talk to you later.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
Yeah, leave. You look better going than you did comin', anyway.
You two guys were drafted by the pros, weren't you?
What's wrong with you?
I'm gonna play football. Look, brother...
what's wrong with you?
I ain't none of you goddamn brother. You know what, granville?
What's wrong with you?
You ain't nothin' but a big ol' dumb, stupid fool. Nigger, you is a fool.
What's wrong with you?
It makes more sense me bangin' one of those big dudes upside the head...
What's wrong with you?
Than to be bangin' you upside of yours.
What's wrong with you?
Aw, nigger, please! Shit!
What's wrong with you?
Where are they?
What's wrong with you?
They're not due for another five minutes. What's the matter?
What's wrong with you?
We're in big trouble, you know that? I got a bunch of clowns.
What's wrong with you?
I don't even know if they played high school football, much less college football.
What's wrong with you?
We're playing a semipro team.
What's wrong with you?
Plus the fact that I haven't picked up one of those things in about seven years.
What's wrong with you?
What're you worried about? Once you got it, you got it.
What's wrong with you?
Throw one at that tire over there. Just like makin' love.
What's wrong with you?
Once you've done it, you never forget how.
What's wrong with you?
See what I mean?
All right, men,
see what I mean?
We're not gonna have time to learn any complicated patterns.
See what I mean?
So we're gonna concentrate on the basic plays.
See what I mean?
But we might learn a few specialty plays,
see what I mean?
If you know what I mean.
See what I mean?
Aah! Naturally we're gonna try to get away with as much as possible.
And my executive assistant, Mr. Nate scarboro,
aah! Naturally we're gonna try to get away with as much as possible.
Will be happy, more than happy,
aah! Naturally we're gonna try to get away with as much as possible.
To show you just exactly how much you can try to get away with.
Aah! Naturally we're gonna try to get away with as much as possible.
The one thing that you're gonna have to remember,
the one most important factor,
the one thing that you're gonna have to remember,
is to protect your quarterback, me!
The one thing that you're gonna have to remember,
wait a minute. That's no bullshit.
If anything happens to me,
wait a minute. That's no bullshit.
If I get hurt,
wait a minute. That's no bullshit.
We're gonna have to live with the fact that we had one chance,
wait a minute. That's no bullshit.
One chance in a million to humiliate those bastards,
wait a minute. That's no bullshit.
And we blew it.
Wait a minute. That's no bullshit.
Is that clear? Yeah!
All right. Now, we're gonna hurt 'em, right?
Is that clear? Yeah!
Right!
Is that clear? Yeah!
All right.
Is that clear? Yeah!
We're gonna kick the shit out of 'em, right?
Is that clear? Yeah!

Coach, where the hell are all those goddamn specialists you promised me?
Jesus Christ.
There he is, Connie shokner.
Jesus Christ.
The very baddest cat in the joint.
Jesus Christ.
Even the guards are terrified of him.
Jesus Christ.
He killed five people on the outside, and two since he's been in here...
Jesus Christ.
With his bare hands.
Jesus Christ.
Karate's bad.
Jesus Christ.
That's before he learned karate. Oh.
Jesus Christ.
What's he doin' now?
Nobody's ever had the guts to ask him.
What's he doin' now?
Paul? Paul?
What's he doin' now?
I smell a rat. Hello, unger.
What's he doin' now?
Paul.
I got something very important I wanna ask you.
Paul.
Paul, I wanna be manager. Caretaker's manager.
Paul.
I'm better than he is. Let me prove it to you. Beat it, unger.
Paul.
Fuck off!
Paul.
What have you got against me, anyway? Why don't you like me?
I'm crazy about you. I think you're terrific.
What have you got against me, anyway? Why don't you like me?
Friendship...
What have you got against me, anyway? Why don't you like me?
Is something that should never be taken lightly, Paul.
What have you got against me, anyway? Why don't you like me?
I really want people to like me.
But they never do.
I really want people to like me.
I'd like very much to be your friend, Paul.
Well, it'd be an... Honor and a privilege, unger.
Now, if you'll just excuse me.
Well, it'd be an... Honor and a privilege, unger.
Paul?
Well, it'd be an... Honor and a privilege, unger.
You sure about that?
I can't be manager?
You sure about that?
Caretaker's manager.
You sure about that?
If I'd only found you sooner. You know.
You sure about that?
It's a good thing he loves you.
You sure about that?
He burnt down a house and roasted five people he didn't like.
You sure about that?
Ah, putty in my hands.
You sure about that?
Come out, boy, come out.
Hello, Mr. Shokner.
You know how to play football?

We're gonna play the guards.
Yeah, I wanna play.
He wants to play.

You bastard! You broke my fuckin' nose.
He broke my nose. I'm gonna fix it, okay? Here we go.
You bastard! You broke my fuckin' nose.

Well? It's gonna be a Turkey shoot.
A cinch. Destroy 'em.
Well? It's gonna be a Turkey shoot.

I ain't "et" inside in six.
Man! I ain't eat steak like this in five years!
What've you done for me lately?
Today may be the high point of a long and colorful career.
What've you done for me lately?
Three gigantic rip-offs.
What've you done for me lately?
First, I've got a box of brand-new equipment...
What've you done for me lately?
Just waitin' to be stashed.
What've you done for me lately?
Compliments of captain knauer, no less. No less.
What've you done for me lately?
And the piece de resistance.
What've you done for me lately?
How would you like the mean machine to have actual game films...
What've you done for me lately?
Of the guardsmen in action? Can you do that?
What've you done for me lately?
Warden's very own home movies.
What've you done for me lately?
Caretaker, you never cease to amaze me.
What've you done for me lately?
Never.
What've you done for me lately?
But you said three gigantic rip-offs.
What've you done for me lately?
That's only two. You don't want to ruin the surprise.
What've you done for me lately?
Surprise?
What've you done for me lately?
There is one thing. What's that?
What've you done for me lately?
You're gonna have to perform a personal... service.
What've you done for me lately?
What kind of personal service?
The warden's expecting you. Won't you come this way?
Thank you, captain. Thank you.
The warden's expecting you. Won't you come this way?
I'm glad you're not in the swamp anymore. That can ruin a man.
Mmm, sure can.
I'm glad you're not in the swamp anymore. That can ruin a man.
We don't have a great deal of time.
I'm glad you're not in the swamp anymore. That can ruin a man.
We have 15 minutes. Oh.
I'm glad you're not in the swamp anymore. That can ruin a man.
The game films. Thank you. That's... terrific.
Like I said, we only have 15 minutes.
Oh! Ohh!
Uh-uh-uh. Won't go over the cuffs.
Oh.
Uh-uh-uh. Won't go over the cuffs.
Uh, you do this very often?
I'm just as far from Tallahassee as you are, honey.
Uh, you do this very often?
Shokner!
Shokner! Yeah?
You hit him high like that, he's gonna break your back.
Shokner! Yeah?
Breaks your back, gonna break the superstar's back.
Shokner! Yeah?
Don't worry about him. I'll get that son of a bitch with an "m. P."
Shokner! Yeah?
- Kee-yai! - Kee-yai!
Shokner! Yeah?
- Ready. Set. - Kee-yai!
Shokner! Yeah?
- Ready. Set. - Kee-yai!
Shokner! Yeah?
You take this bandage. You dip into the plaster of Paris.
Shokner! Yeah?
You wrap it around the cast, and in 15 minutes it becomes as hard as a rock. You got it?
Shokner! Yeah?
Got it!
Shokner! Yeah?
This is a picture of the walkin' boss. Yeah!
Shokner! Yeah?
He once broke his right femur. That's his thighbone.
Shokner! Yeah?
Maybe you can give him a clip or somethin'. We'll break it again.
Shokner! Yeah?
Got it! Right! We can do it! Got it!
Shokner! Yeah?
Gentlemen, what we have here in common parlance...
Shokner! Yeah?
Is known as a set of brass knuckles.
Shokner! Yeah?
Temporary disabilities:
Shokner! Yeah?
Balls, gut, ribs.
Shokner! Yeah?
- You got it. - Got it!
Shokner! Yeah?
The ball is snapped and you go into your point,
Shokner! Yeah?
Go into him blocking him with your left arm...
Shokner! Yeah?
And bring this hand up into his chin, and I'll guarantee you, gentlemen,
Shokner! Yeah?
That he will be incapacitated for the next several moments.
Shokner! Yeah?
You got it? Okay. Got it!
Shokner! Yeah?
Men, here's the play we're gonna use.
Shokner! Yeah?
I don't think the guards know this formation.
Shokner! Yeah?
It's called "incidental punishment"...
Shokner! Yeah?
After the ball is blown dead.
Shokner! Yeah?
Remember, any man you tackle...
Shokner! Yeah?
Gets an extra elbow, knee, or kick in the mouth.
Shokner! Yeah?
- Got it? - Got it!
Shokner! Yeah?
I am, without a doubt,
the finest maker of raisin Jack in the entire joint.
I am, without a doubt,
I'm gonna call this batch ole caretaker.
I am, without a doubt,
you always keep it in there?
I am, without a doubt,
it seems like a logical place.
I am, without a doubt,
mm-hmm.
I am, without a doubt,

I got you laid.
Listen, you and me are buddies, ain't we?

Listen, you and me are buddies, ain't we?
I got you all them monsters. I'm gettin' you drunk.
Listen, you and me are buddies, ain't we?

Listen, you and me are buddies, ain't we?
So, one thing still bothers me. What's that?
Listen, you and me are buddies, ain't we?
Why'd you shave them points?
Listen, you and me are buddies, ain't we?
I told you. For the money.
No, no, I mean... come on. Give me the real reason.
I told you. For the money.
You really wanna know, huh?
I told you. For the money.
I never gave a shit about football, or anything else.
The only thing I ever care about's my old man.
My old man was blind. He never saw me play.
Shit. I've been a professional ever since I was 12 years old.
Hustlin' nickels and dimes playin' pool.
Shit. I've been a professional ever since I was 12 years old.
Just trying to make enough money to take care of him.
Shit. I've been a professional ever since I was 12 years old.
I figured when I got in pro ball,
I'd make one big killin'.
I figured when I got in pro ball,
one big one.
I figured when I got in pro ball,
make enough money,
I figured when I got in pro ball,
set him up.
I figured when I got in pro ball,
take care of him the rest of his life.
I figured when I got in pro ball,
and the son of a bitch up and died on me.
I figured when I got in pro ball,
you buy that?
That's good, because that's bullshit too.
Why do you think I, uh, shaved the points?
For the money.
Why do you think I, uh, shaved the points?
One minute to lockup. One minute.
Why do you think I, uh, shaved the points?
You know what my problem's been all my life? No. What?
Why do you think I, uh, shaved the points?
I've always had my shit together, always.
Why do you think I, uh, shaved the points?
My problem's been that I couldn't lift it.
Why do you think I, uh, shaved the points?
I gotta go home.
You're gonna be a party pooper? It's okay.
Some pro quarterbacks drink all night long.
You're gonna be a party pooper? It's okay.
