一流的 半职业性的 First rank,semi-pro,
东南联盟 southeastern league,
亚军 runner-up,
过去五年都是国家冠军 national champions past five years.
克鲁先生 你怎么看半职业球队 Mr. Crewe,what do you think of semi-pro ball?
半职业就是个笑话 Semi-pro's a joke.
也许我们可以听听专业人员的指点 Perhaps we could use a few pointers from the big leagues.
队长 你觉得让克鲁先生来 Captain,what do you say to Mr. Crewe here looking in,
给我们分享他的宝贵经验如何 and giving us the benefit of his invaluable knowledge?
我觉得这是个很棒的主意 监狱长 I think that's a real good idea,Warden.
我们可以集中一切力量 We can use all the help we can get.
如何 Well?
我八年没碰球了 I haven't picked a football up in eight years.
我不行 I'm not in very good shape.

...这里的权威 ...authority in here,
那就是我没履行好职责 then I haven't done my job.
-我说得没有不合理之处吧 -是的 长官 -I'm not being unreasonable,am I? -No,sir.

很好 Good!
我要那家伙滚出去 And I want that man out there.

被抓进了监狱 got yourself caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
是这样吗 I did,did I?
不说你有没有让人失望 I ain't sayin' you did or you didn't.
我说的是 All I'm sayin' is,
你可以抢银行 卖毒品 you could've robbed banks,sold dope,
或偷你外婆的养老金 or stole your grandmother's pension checks
我们都不在乎 and none of us would've minded.
但给球队丢分 But shavin' points off of a football game,
天 这可真是不美国人 man,that's un-American.
你很重视这里的球赛 是吧 You take your football down here real serious,don't you?

-为什么故意输掉比赛 -说来话长 -Why'd you do it? -It's a long story.
没事 我有八年时间 Well,I got eight years.
天呐 这是什么 Oh,my God! What the hell is that?
这是监狱长球队的一个成员 That's a member of the Warden's football team.
告诉你 有些看守 I'm telling you,some of these guards
不只是每天普通的看守 are not just the everyday run-of-the-mill guards.
克鲁 Crewe!
格兰维尔 出列 Granville! Front and center!
这是干嘛 What now?
这表示我们没法吃完这顿美味午餐了 That means we don't get to finish this delicious lunch.
他看什么 What's he lookin' for?
蛇 Snakes.
-蛇 -对 -Snakes? -Yeah.
休息五分钟 Take five!
-Rollin' one,boss? -Not today,boy.
Terrific.
Football faggot!
-Salt pill up here,boss? -Go get it,boy.
How long you been in this asylum,Pop?
Thirty-four years.
"Thirty-four years"?
Yep. Last six and a half
right here in the swamp.
Too old for reclamation,
so they made me barracks chief.
You ought to be comin' up
for parole soon,shouldn't you?
Well,30 years ago I made
the mistake of sluggin' a fish bull.
Hazen.
Just my luck,he made warden.
Sent me out here when I was 64 to die.
But I've been hangin' on.
Way I figure,we'll all be in
the same place 1,000 years from now,
-so what the hell? -Yeah,what the hell?
All right,you assholes,back to work!
Hey!
This ain't no country club,superstar.
Move your ass!
No,son! You gotta get off the bunk!
Man,for God's sake,get up!
Come on,on your feet. Listen to me.
Nobody's allowed on the bunks
till five minutes before lights out.
They'll put you in the oven.
Man,that can kill ya!
Did you have any supper yet?
No.
Later I'll try to get you some chow.
You gotta eat,man,
or you'll die of mono.
And they could care less!
Get off of me!
Watch it,man!
Where the hell you goin'?
Come on! Move outta here!
Twinkle,twinkle,little superstar.
-Guard? -Yeah,boy?
I wanna see the Warden.
Pass the salt.
Boy.
Come on!
Stop it.
That's gonna get you
24 hours in the hot box,boy.
I quit.
What makes you so tough?
I don't know. It just comes natural.
That'll cost you,boy.
Rise and shine!
Rise and shine.
It's room service.
Pretty gamey.
Take a shower.
Put on some clean whites.
The Warden wants to see ya.
The Warden?
Get on down there.
-Set! -Well?
-What do you think of my team? -Mean.
Crude but mean.
I was depending on you,you know.
Well,there's so little time left now.
It's quite a problem.
They need something before that first game.
-You have to win the first game? -Right.
That's relatively simple.
Yeah. Get yourself
a tune-up game,you know?
A what?
A tune-up game like the pros have.
You find yourself some hungry
semi-pro team that's not in your league.
You bring 'em in here
and you kick the shit out of 'em.
Well...
How do you think we'd do
against the pros?
-That team against the pros? -Yeah.
Oh,boy,you'd have a real problem.
Well,how do you think
we'd do against the cons?
I didn't know the cons had a team.
They don't.
But you've given me an inspiration.
I've decided,Mr. Crewe,
that you're gonna put one together for me.
For that little tune-up game,you know?
And you're gonna play quarterback.
I can't do that.
-Why not? They're semi-pro. -We wouldn't have a chance...
You said so yourself. It's a big joke.
That's why people like to
have me around,
because I have a sense of humor.
Mr. Crewe,
as old Mr. Sam used to say,
"In this institution,
"to get along,you go along."
Wait a minute! Wait a minute!
I'm just gonna do what's left
of my 18 months quietly,
-and I'm out of here. -Yes.
Eighteen months.
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.
If I get this team together,
how long do I have to get them organized?
Four weeks.
We're talkin' about early parole,right?
I believe we are.
All right,I'll play.
What? I didn't hear you.
-I'll play. -"Sir."
I'll play,sir.
History.
I read you like a book,Mr. Crewe.
-One more thing. -What is it?
You keep Knauer off my back.
Give us a game,Mr. Crewe.
I'll give you a game.
"Hit and be hit.
"Anyone with any experience or desire.
"Prison football team. Sign up."
Well,what do you think?
Maybe I'll get annihilated. Forget it.
Wait a second. Wait a second. Hey!
Here's the way I look at it.
Suppose you break your leg
or something like that.
That's six weeks easy time in the hospital.
To me,that's biscuits and gravy.
Tell me somethin'.
Would they let me play tackle?
Sure.
That means I spend half the time
lookin' directly across into
Walking Boss' eyes,right?
Now you got it.
I always had a thing for Walking Boss.
Yeah,and Walking Boss
always had a thing for you.
Hold it,hold it. Don't you guys know
a good thing when you see it?
You get a free crack at the guards!
Not to mention, you have a chance to kill one of 'em!
-Legal! -Bullshit! I ain't signing that damn thing.
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!
-Hi. -Hi.
-You know you're doin' it all wrong? -Yeah?
Yeah. You're never gonna put
a team together with that bunch.
Well,I appreciate the advice.
Well,I can help you. I'm Nate Scarboro.
-Nate Scarboro,Giants? -Yeah.
Step into my office.
Thank you.
-I'm Paul Crewe. -Yeah,I know.
You made all pro your last year,didn't you?
Right.
-Why'd you quit? -It was a simple decision.
Doc said quit football or quit walking.
My knee had all the operations it could take.
I figured walking was better than sitting.
Maybe I made the wrong choice.
Anyway,you got about 15 guys out there
that are worth a damn. The rest...
How long did Hazen give you to get 'em ready?
A month.
You bought a bill of goods.
I didn't have any choice.
And you don't have one black player out there.
There are at least 15 in this prison
with enough experience to make this club.
None of 'em signed up.
I played 11 years in the league,
never even got a hangnail.
I'm not gonna get hurt in this game.
I'm gonna get myself the biggest guys
I can find and surround myself.
I know the guards.
I've watched them play for 11 years.
I've seen how they've won games
and why they lost 'em.
I know those bums better
than they know themselves.
You just got yourself a job. Head coach.
Great bunch of guys you got here.
"Strangled both wives with pantyhose."
"Triple murder,
including body dismemberment."
"Hacked mother with meat cleaver."
Charming,charming.
Better double-check the ones with two stars on 'em
because they're the most violent.
Got any with three stars?
Damn it,Warden,
I think this game's a big mistake.
Captain,not only will you have the chance
to hone our team to a fine edge,
you'll also have the opportunity
to learn a great deal about life.
Why is it,do you suppose,
that I can walk through this yard
surrounded by hate
and in total command?
'Cause you got 15 gun turrets
all around you that say you can.
Partly,partly.
They could stop us right now,grab us,
slit our throats.
But they don't.
We get the right person
in the right place at the right time,
we can surprise the shit out of 'em,
one game,one time.
-We can do it! -You guys about through?
Time's almost up.
Okay,Pop. Hold your water.
You better hurry up.
What have you got for me,sunshine?
I can get you steroids, vitamins,greenies.
Anything you want. You name it.
I'm the best hustler in the joint.
How much of what this guy
says he can do can he do?
He can get you laid in here...
With a woman.
-What more can I tell you? -Yeah?
Yeah. But can you get me
the medical files on the Guardsmen?
What for?
I want to find out
who had any broken bones.
Sonny Tannen.
Strong as an ox. You'll love him.
-Is that him? -That's him. Yeah.
Hello,Sonny.
How'd you like to play some football?
Football?
Yeah. Would you like that?
You mean,we get to hit the guards?
Bet you'd like that,wouldn't you,Sonny?
Report to the practice field
tomorrow morning at 9:00.
-What's his name? -Indian.
-That makes sense. -Now,don't do any ethnic jokes.
Indian,this is Paul Crewe.
-Hi. -Hi.
-I hear you play some football. -A little bit.
-Good. Where? -Oklahoma State.
-Oklahoma State U.? -Prison.
Yeah. Well,first thing we gotta do
is get you transferred out of here
-and on the football field. -How?
We'll work on it.
That pretty heavy?
About 400 pounds.
-That's pretty heavy. -George Samson Granada.
Mr. Florida,1964.
Paul Crewe.
-You know Florida? -Yeah,yeah.
They got tough cops here.
Small but tough.
We're gettin' up a football game
against the guards.
Wondered if maybe you
and some of your buddies here
would like to join in on the fun.
With the guards?
Sure,I'd like that.
-Sign him up. -I'm way ahead of you.
-See you around. -Look forward to it.
Samson?
-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?
So am I.
This just isn't a football game to the Warden.
He shows you and this team up and he's
showin' up the whole prison population.
Nate,it's just a game.
All I wanna do is come out of it alive.
It's just a game.
No,not to him it isn't.
It's a fear and violence philosophy.
He's given us this chance
to be free for a few hours,
to try and be men again
so he can destroy us.
Nate,if you're thinking
about winning this game,
then you're as crazy as he is.
Maybe so.
But you spend 14 years in this tank,
and you begin to understand
that you've only got two things left
they can't sweat out of you
or beat out of you.
Your balls.
And you better hang on to 'em,
because they're about
the only thing you're gonna have
when you get out of here.
-Good night,Nate. -Good night.
The use of toilet facilities
is suspended for two hours
until repairs are completed.
Sorry,men.
-Mason. -Yeah.
Follow my lead,guys.
We're gonna do this sucker.
Yeah. If you get along,it'll be jamming.
Might as well see what this boy wants.
Pretty boy,we know what you want,man.
We don't play no ball.
Figured you did.
-Well,we do,but we don't. -There it is.
You two guys were drafted
by the pros,weren't you?
-Yeah. -Pros
I understand that,but you see
we no longer perform for the honky's amusement.
Say,man,I'll play.
But you gotta guarantee me one thing.
I'll start.
You got it.
All right.
Say,man,what's wrong with you,nigger?
We don't fuck with them.
I'm gonna play football.
Yeah,but not with them honkies,man.
Say,man,you better leave.
I'll talk to you later.
Yeah,leave. You look better going
than you did comin',anyway.
What's wrong with you?
-I'm gonna play football. -Look,brother...
Man,I ain't none of
your goddamn brother.
You know what,Granville?
You ain't nothin' but a big ol' dumb,stupid fool.
Nigger,you is a fool.
Look,it makes more sense me bangin'
one of those big dudes upside the head
than to be bangin' you upside of yours.
Nigger,please! Shit!
Where are they?
They're not due for another five minutes.
What's the matter?
We're in big trouble,you know that?
I got a bunch of clowns.
I don't even know if they played
high school football,
much less college football.
And we're playing a semi-pro team.
Plus the fact that I haven't
picked up one of those things
in about seven years.
What're you worried about?
Once you got it,you got it.
Throw one at that tire over there.
Just like makin' love.
Once you've done it, you never forget how.
See what I mean?
All right,men,
we're not gonna have time
to learn any complicated patterns.
So we're gonna concentrate
on the basic plays.
But we might learn a few specialty plays,
if you know what I mean.
Now naturally we're gonna try to
get away with as much as possible.
And my executive assistant,
Mr. Nate Scarboro,
will be happy,more than happy,
to show you just exactly
how much you can try to get away with.
The one thing
that you're gonna have to remember,
the one most important factor,
is to protect your quarterback,me!
Wait a minute. That's no bullshit.
If anything happens to me,
if I get hurt,
we're gonna have to live with the fact
that we had one chance,
one chance in a million
to humiliate those bastards,
and we blew it.
-Is that clear? -Yeah!
All right.
Now,we're gonna hurt 'em,right?
Right!
All right.
We're gonna kick the shit
out of 'em,right?
-Right! -What?
Right!
Right! All right!
Now,backs and ends come with me,
the rest of you stay here.
Okay,linemen. Come on,linemen!
-What's the agility rating on this? -Maximum is 10.
All right,men,just hit the holes.
I don't wanna hear you hit any rubber. Knees high.
Come on,let's go! Let's go! Let's...
That's a two. Let's go!
Very good. Very good.
Knees high. Seven.
Let's go. Hubba,hubba,hubba!
Knees high,knees high.
Okay,let's move over
to the blocking dummies.
Come on,Sonny. Sonny? Over here.
All right,Granny.
-What'll I give Granny? -Six.
Seven.
Would that be a ten?
That's a ten.
All right,
I wanna see you really hit. On three.
Hup one! Hup two! Hup three!
All right!
Let's protect the passer this time!
-Let's go,babe! -Get him.
Good idea.
I'm gonna pinch your head off,
you little mother!
Hut one! Hut two! Hut three!
-Sorry,man. -Nice tackle,Granville.
Hey,Coach,where the hell are all those
goddamn specialists you promised me?
Jesus Christ.
There he is,Connie Shokner.
The very baddest cat in the joint.
Even the guards are terrified of him.
He killed five people on the outside,
and two since he's been in here...
With his bare hands.
Karate's bad.
That's before he learned karate.
What's he doin' now?
Nobody's ever had the guts to ask him.
Paul? Paul?
-I smell a rat. -Hello,Unger.
Paul.
I got something very important
I wanna ask you.
-Paul,I wanna be manager. -Caretaker's manager.
I'm better than he is.
Let me prove it to you.
-Beat it,Unger. -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.
Friendship is something
that should never be taken lightly,Paul.
I really want people to like me.
But they never do.
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.
Paul?
You sure about that?
I can't be manager?
Caretaker's manager.
If I'd have only found you sooner,
you know.
It's a good thing he loves you.
He burnt down a house and roasted five people he didn't like.
Putty in my hands.
Come out,boy,come out.
Hello,Mr. Shokner.
You know how to play football?
Yeah.
Good.
Would you like to play football
with us inmates?
No.
We're gonna play the guards.
Yeah,I wanna play.
He wants to play.
Thank you,Mr. Shokner.
Now remember,
nobody hits the quarterback.
Blue 28!
Set. Hut!
God damn it!
He broke my fuckin' nose!
You bastard! You broke my fuckin' nose.
Calm down,Samson. Calm down.
I'm gonna fix it for you,all right?
I don't wanna play this game.
He broke my nose.
I'm gonna fix it,okay? Here we go.
How does it look?
It looks 100% better,doesn't it?
-Hundred percent. -Yeah.
-It does? -Yeah.
He did that on purpose.
-No,he didn't. -Yes,he did!
All right. Tell him you're...
Tell him you're sorry.
Please?
Okay. I'm sorry.
Okay,everybody,
huddle up,huddle up. Let's go.
He said he was sorry.
-Bullshit! -Let's huddle up. Let's go.
-He said he was sorry. -You dumb...
Let's huddle up.
-Try it again. -Three,45!
Hut! Hut!
All right. What about
the rest of the team?
Outside of Crewe,the only one
who looks like anything is Granville.
Granville can give you real trouble.
All right,Unger,that's all.
-Well? -It's gonna be a turkey shoot.
He's right,sir. We're gonna destroy 'em.
It's a cinch,boss. It's a cinch.
"A cinch." "Destroy 'em."
Too cute.
That's what y'all said last year before
we lost to Anacott Steel,remember?
There's no sense
us taking any chances,
lettin' ourselves get hurt.
So see what we can do about Granville.
Yes,sir.
Hey,Granville,get your ass over here.
Yes,sir,Lieutenant.
What the hell you think
you're doin',boy?
You pick that up!
Yes,sir.
Now,what is your problem,fat man?
Know why you spades is always
calling each other "brother"?
No,sir.
'Cause half of you don't know
who your daddy is,
so you just might be brothers.
Yes,sir,Lieutenant.
Now you think that's funny,don't you?
Yes,sir.
And you wanna hit me,don't you?
Who,me? No,sir,Lieutenant.
You're too goddamn ignorant
to know when a man's calling you
a stupid,uneducated nigger.
Yes,sir,Lieutenant.
May I go now,sir?
Yeah! Get out of my sight!
Blue 48!
Set! Hut one!
Shit.
Hey,white white!
What the hell is this?
Here come the rain clouds.
What the fuck do they want?
Granny tells us you need a little help.
Says you can guarantee us
no work detail.
Yeah.
Guarantee us special food
like Granny gets?
Yeah.
We get to hit those damn guards
like Granny said we would?
You get to hit 'em.
What else can we offer 'em?
I guess they gonna have
a Geneva Conference.
What is this bullshit?
Well,Mr. Crewe,
looks like we've come to terms.
Compliments from
the Greater Chicago Youth Authority.
There goes the neighborhood.
You wanted to see me?
Yes,sir.
And especially Unger.
-Unger? -Yeah.
Unger has a direct pipeline
to Captain Knauer.
It's impossible for me to have a secret
practice as long as Unger's around.
I'm supposed to reschedule
the yard activities
for three uninterrupted hours
of secret practice.
Yes,sir.
-That's right? -Right.
And you will talk to Captain Knauer?
I'll speak to the captain
on both those matters,yes.
Thank you,sir.
Mr. Crewe,just what is it
you have up your sleeve?
I'm just trying to give you
a football team,Warden.
And along the way,maybe give the men
some pride and some dignity.
Of course,only for a little while.
I know you've got something more
bouncing around inside that head of yours.
You want a game,right?
My men don't have a chance in hell
of winnin' that game.
You know it,I know it.
I just don't want them to know it. Okay?
Man! I ain't eat steak like this
in five years!
I ain't "et" inside in six.
What've you done for me lately?
Today may be the high point
of a long and colorful career.
Three... Count 'em,
three gigantic rip-offs.
First,I've got a box
of brand-new equipment
just waitin' to be stashed.
Compliments of
Captain Knauer,no less.
No less.
And the piece de resistance.
How would you like the Mean Machine
to have actual game films
of the Guardsmen in action?
Can you do that?
Warden's very own home movies.
Caretaker, you never cease to amaze me.
Never.
But you said three gigantic rip-offs.
That's only two.
Well,you don't want to ruin the surprise.
"Surprise"?
-There is one thing though. -What's that?
You're gonna have to perform
a personal... Service.
What kind of personal service?
The Warden's expecting you.
Won't you come this way?
-Thank you,Captain. -Thank you.
I'm glad you're not in the swamp
anymore. That can ruin a man.
Sure can.
We don't have a great deal of time.
We have 15 minutes.
-The game films. -Thank you. That's terrific.
Like I said,we only have 15 minutes.
Won't go over the cuffs.
You do this very often?
I'm just as far from Tallahassee
as you are,honey.
Shokner!
-Shokner! -Yeah?
You hit him high like that,
he's gonna break your back.
Breaks your back,
gonna break the superstar's back.
Don't worry about him.
I'll get that son of a bitch with an "M.P."
-Keeyai! -Keeyai!
-Ready. Set. -Keeyai!
You take this bandage.
You dip into the plaster of Paris.
You wrap it around the cast,
and in 15 minutes it becomes
as hard as a rock. You got it?
Got it!
-This is a picture of the Walking Boss. -Yeah!
He once broke his right femur.
That's his thighbone.
Maybe you can give him a clip or somethin'.
We'll break it again.
-Got it? Right! We can do it! -Got it!
All right. We can do it.
Gentlemen,what we have here
in common parlance
is known as a set of brass knuckles.
Now,temporary disabilities.
Balls,gut,ribs.
-You got it? -Got it!
The ball is snapped
and you go into your point,
go into him blocking him
with your left arm
and bring this hand up into his chin,
and I'll guarantee you,gentlemen,
that he will be incapacitated
for the next several moments.
-You got it? Okay. -Got it!
All right,men,
now here's the play we're gonna use.
I don't think the guards know
this formation.
It's called "Incidental punishment,"
after the ball is blown dead.
Remember,any man you tackle
gets an extra elbow,knee,
or kick in the mouth.
-Got it? -Got it!
I am,without a doubt,
the finest maker of raisin jack in the entire joint.
I'm gonna call this batch Ole Caretaker.
You always keep it in there?
Well,it seems like a logical place.
Listen...
You and me are buddies,ain't we?
I got you laid.
I got you the game films.
I got you all them monsters.
I'm gettin' you drunk.
That you are.
So,one thing still bothers me.
What's that?
Why'd you shave them points?
I told you. For the money.
No,no,I mean... Come on.
Give me the real reason.
You really wanna know?
I never gave a shit about football,
or anything else.
The only thing
I ever cared 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.
Just trying to make enough money
to take care of him.
I figured when I got to pro ball,
I'd make one big killin'.
One big one.
Make enough money,set him up.
Take care of him the rest of his life.
And the son of a bitch
up and died on me.
You buy that?
Well,that's good,
because that's bullshit too.
Why do you think I shaved the points?
For the money.
One minute to lock-up. One minute.
You know what my problem's
been all my life?
No. What?
I've always had my shit together,
always.
My problem's been that I couldn't lift it.
I gotta go home.
You're gonna be a party pooper?
It's okay.
Some pro quarterbacks
drink all night long.
I know.
Good night.
Good night,Paul.
Here,aren't you gonna
take one with you?
Lock it up.
-Lock it up! -Lock it up,men.
Lock it up.
Lock it up!
Come on,boy,move.
You wanna be tucked in or something?
There's nothin' I can do for you.
Crewe got to the Warden.
But,Captain,if you put me
back into general population,
one of those guys will kill me!
That's what usually happens to finks,
but then you got Crewe to thank for that.
He's the guy that blew the whistle on you.
On you specifically.
You got problems.
But listen,I can help you!
Split right. Fullback,dive right.
On one. Ready!
Twenty-eight!
Hut!
Way to go. Way to go.
Set!
Hut!
Go men,go! That's my team!
All prisoners return to their cells.
Shop 35 will begin in 10 minutes.
In 10 minutes,
we expect all men in Shop 35
to meet outside the cell blocks.
Cell block 3-A will take
first call to dinner.
Dinner rotation will start
with cell block 3-A.
Shit. We don't know enough
about these guys.
Why don't we take another look
at the X-rays?
The medical files are on my bed.
Get them,will ya?
Yo.
Who do you see playin' flanker?
Miller.
Get the goddamn key!
Bring that key,God damn it!
Come on,get the doors open!
Earth to earth,ashes to ashes,
and dust to dust,
we commend the soul
of James "Caretaker" Farrell.
And now the peace of God
which passeth all understanding,
shall guard your hearts and souls
and unto our God and father
be glory forever and ever.
Amen.
Good afternoon,fellow inmates,
correctional officers,
honored guests,ladies and gentlemen.
This is Matt "Killer" Farrell
broadcasting on
the Interstate Correctional
Facility Communication
broadcasting system
of your state prison.
This is part of Warden Rudolph Hazen's
progressive rehabilitation program.
This is indeed a historic occasion,
ladies and gentlemen,
as we sit here in this marvelous
Edward J. Hazen Memorial Stadium,
provided for us by our warden,
Rudolph Hazen.
All right,stand for the Warden!
Just so you'll know,
we've posted armed guards
all along the wall
and around the running track
at the public end of the field.
So,if any of you are thinking
of mingling with the civilians
and wandering off with the crowd at the end of the game.
We will shoot you.
Have a nice game,boys.
See ya on the field,superstar.
All right,now it's our turn.
Here's a surprise from the Caretaker.
Come on,come on!
#Born free
And life is worth living#
But only worth living#
'Cause you're#
Born free#
We wanna thank
the men of cell block C,
affectionately known
as the Citrus State Cheerios.
The teams are coming on the field.
First,the guards' defensive unit
led by Captains Rassmeusen
and Igor Bogdanski.
Leading out the offensive unit,
the guards' coach and captain,
Wilhelm Knauer!
Let's hear it for Warden Rudolph Hazen,
who has sponsored
today's progressive-minded contest.
Let's get the ball game goin'.
Ladies and gentlemen,
The Mean Machine!
They stole our new uniforms!
That's right.
One of the all-time greats,
quarterback for the Mean Machine...
Paul "Wrecking" Crewe!
The balance of the Mean Machine
with their coach,Nate Scarboro!
Will you please stand
and join Mike Sykes
in the singing of our national anthem.
#O say can you see
#By the dawn's early light
#What so proudly we hailed
What the hell are you
dressed up for,Halloween?
Well,I figured if you guys get far enough ahead,
maybe you'd let this one-legged middle-aged kid
-have some fun. -Bullshit!
-Call it in the air. -Heads.
You said head. It is a head.
You've won the toss.
How the hell did you steal our uniforms?
Cute,aren't they?
Shake hands. Have a real good
clean football game,now.
No matter what happens,
just keep stickin' it to 'em.
-Now,who are we? -The Mean Machine.
The Mean Machine! The Mean Machine!
-Get that! -Way to go! Way to go!
One,two. One,two. Ready,go.
Get that ball,throw that ball
And don't let it go!
Get that ball,throw that ball
And don't let it go!
Get that ball,throw that ball
And don't let it go!
Three,35.
Hut! Hut!
That kick was blocked by Granville.
The point conversion was unsuccessful.
The score now is Guardsmen 6,
Mean Machine nothing.
Way to go!Way to go!
And he's pulled down!
The Mean Machine serpentines their
way up to the line of scrimmage...
All right,here comes the bad guys.
Pick 'em up! Pick 'em up!
Set. Hut!
Crewe down in the end zone
for a two-point safety
and a smashing tackle by number 61.
-Bogdanski. -Bogdanski.
Who the hell's supposed to pick up
the middle linebacker on the blitz?
-I am. -Right!
A free kick.
Charlie "Blue Eyes" kicks the ball.
It's taken by...
And he's dropped
for a five-yard loss by number 66.
Mean Machine ball on their own 32.
Crewe is fading to pass.
Crewe is hit by a vicious tackle by Bogdanski.
Hut!
The Mean Machine scores!
Damn!
All right,all right,all right.
All right,settle down.
Good hands. Good hands.
Here we go. Little showboat here.
We're gonna fake it.
Roll out to the left
on a center snap. Ready?
And the Mean Machine
will now line up for the point
after touchdown attempt.
Hike!
He sneaks it through to the end zone.
That makes the score 8 to 7
in favor of the Guardsmen.
Defense!
Listen,guys,if they fake
the Walking Boss,cover me.
I gotta get that bastard.
Bury that son of a bitch!
First and ten on the 31.
Dropped for a two-yard loss
on the 29-yard line.
Give me them brass knuckles.
Take a good whiff. Take a good whiff.
-How many fingers? -Three.
Great.
If that Levitt comes up the middle again,
I'm gonna clothesline that son of a bitch.
Now's the time to get him,Samson.
Four three mau-mau.
Ready,break!
-The receiver! -Set. Hut!
Levitt was clotheslined
and he is not moving.
I think I broke his fuckin' neck!
Way to go!
I think he broke his fuckin' neck.
I told ya I broke his fuckin' neck!
I think he broke his fuckin' neck.
Sonny,if Knauer drops back to punt,
nail that son of a bitch good.
You bet your ass. I'll get him,Shop.
We need the ball!We need the ball!
Playing kind of a timid
or a chicken kind of football.
-Give me a break! -Okay!
You see that? God damn it!
Shit! It ain't about that
goddamn trial for you!
Third and long.
He likes to throw on the flat.
Goes back and throws a pass
out on the flat.
The conversion was blocked.
And the half ends with the score,
Guardsmen 15,Mean Machine 13.
We will have the halftime statistics
for you in a few moments.
But right now
it's time for our gala halftime activities.
Any suggestions,sir?
Give your team a little pep talk.
Yes,sir!
You've got to be a football hero#
To get along with a beautiful girl#
You've got to be#
A touchdown getter,you bet#
If you wanna get a baby to pet#
Hey,Crewe!
What kind of football you call that?
Same kind of football you're playin'.
We were gonna let you mothers slide.
Now we're gonna hang you out to dry.
Hey,Wilhelm,hang loose.
We've got 'em on the run,baby!
Bastards are good!
Come on,damn it,let's go!
You call yourselves a football team?
You're a bunch of candy-asses!
They're laughin' at you right now,
right next door. Listen to that.
What about Mawabe.
He's a big shot out there,man!
They're only two points up.
We'll take 'em in the second.
Just what the hell
do you think you're doing?
You wanted a game,you got one.
I never said anything about winning.
Never said anything about losing,either.
I'll spell it out for you.
We've got Unger in custody.
-He's confessed to killing Caretaker. -What?
He said you knew all about it.
You didn't notify Captain Knauer,
and that makes you an accessory.
You're full of crap.
Mr. Crewe,you sent Caretaker to that cell.
You are an accessory to murder.
You could be looking at 20 years...
And counting.
Bullshit! There's no way in the world
you could make that stick in court.
No?
Mr. Crewe,you could be in this
institution until you are old and gray.
Or until you're dead,
whichever comes first.
I can promise you that.
You're gonna lose the game.
And... I want a 21-point spread.
I can't do that!
Of course you can.
You've done it before.
If I give you the 21 points,
will you call off the dogs?
"The dogs"?
If you got the game in the bag,
you tell your guys to coast.
I don't want any of my men hurt.
You have my word.
Once we get the 21 points.
You know,there's only one thing
I'm sorry about.
What's that,Mr. Crewe?
That you're not out there with us
knocking heads.
I'm afraid I'm a little too old for that.
No.
You never had the guts to begin with.
You're playin' like a bunch of girls
out there,every one of you!
Candy-asses.
You know who's beatin' you out there?
Scum's beatin' you out there! Scum!
You know what that is?
That's the lowest part of the world!
Those are the criminals and the rapists,
and the murderers out there!
You guys are supposed to be
representin' law and order!
Supposed to have some decency, some pride.
Listen to this shit.
Somebody thinks he's Rockne.
You're lettin' the flag down.
Go out there and do something about it.
Offense and defense,play together.
Let's go now! Come on!
You've just been guaranteed
a 21-point spread.
What?
Because of your marvelous performance,
I was forced to make a deal with Mr. Crewe.
In the second half,
we can beat this team.
I'm not interested in discussing
what you think might happen
in the second half.
You'll do as I told you,
and Mr. Crewe will do as I told him.
Yes,sir.
Now,when you and your mental midgets
are 21 points ahead,
I want you to inflict
as much painful damage
on the prisoners as is humanly possible.
So you understand,
before this game is over,
I want every prisoner
in this institution to know
what I mean by power,
and who controls it.
We understand each other?
Yes,sir.
The score 15 to 13.
The second half of this surprisingly close ball game
is about to get underway.
Ball taken by number 36.
Set. Hut!
Crewe's fading back.
He's getting good protection.
He's looking for a receiver.
Crewe!
Pass!
-Shit! -Crewe is knocked for a loss.
Hey,man,
I owned that hamburger out there.
Get rid of it.
And I was open all day long,man.
Can't ya see?
All right,knock it off. I'm callin' the plays.
Set. Hut!
The Guardsman returns it to the 48-yard line
of the Mean Machine.
Way to rise up! Way to rise up!
All right,no sweat. It's no problem.
Come on,come on. We'll get it back.
Touchdown!
The kick is good!
Let's stick it to 'em. He's gonna choke.
Now. Now. Now,now,now.
Passing situation.
He gets a pass off and it's short.
Pass is picked off by number 21.
We got it. We got it. We got it.
It's another touchdown
for the Guardsmen
making that score 28 for the Guardsmen
and 13 for the Mean Machine.
What the hell was that all about?
Having a bad day.
-"Having a bad day"? -Yes,a bad day.
Haven't you ever had a bad day before?
Get off my back!
-What's the name of the team? -Mean Machine!
Set.
Hut. Hut!
And there's a fumble
at the line of scrimmage.
What is that?
-Go over there and call yourself thugs! -Come on!
Why don't you change uniforms?
Bullshit!
And Paul Crewe is taking himself
out of the ball game.
Paul Crewe is limping badly.
He's limping off the field.
Pop Steadman's gone out to meet him
and is bringing him to the bench.
And we may have seen
the last of Paul Crewe for today.
We'll get this shoe off
and take a look at that ankle.
I'd like to give him one of my M.P.'s.
I'd knock his head off.
I could be inside making the wall.
It don't feel like anything's broken.
Somebody step on it,or did you twist it?
Twisted it.
Golden boy. Superstar.
We can thank Granny for this.
Really sold us out,didn't you,Crewe?
Hell,anybody can see
he's throwing the game.
Get that ball and let's go!
All right,let's go!
It's a touchdown for the Guardsmen
making the score now 35 to 13...
With five minutes,58 seconds left
in the third quarter,
the third quarter that has been all Guardsmen.
The score is 35 for the Guardsmen
and 13 for the Mean Machine.
No point.
With 5:58 left in the third period,

was badly shaken up.
Cry-baby son of a bitch!
My time. Got a man down.

Hey,superstar.
What kind of a deal
did you make this time?
What did Hazen promise you?
They're killing those guys out there!
And you don't even care!
Guardsmen's ball on their own 28.
You know,he's right,Crewe.
You fooled the hell out of me.
I put my trust in you,
and you let me down like this.
I know you don't give a shit
about nothin',
but I didn't think you'd sell us out.
Hey,Granny,better get back in there.
Four three inside flank. Ready? Break.
Ball on the 48-yard line.
Ball going to Knauer. He hands off...

I'm sure.
The officials are trying
to break up that fight.
Faggots!
Granny Granville is hurt.
He is holding his shoulder.
He appears to be very badly hurt.
Probably a broken bone.
He's on his feet.
Satisfied now?
Jesus,Sonny!
The officials are now
going to assess a penalty.
It's going to be 15 yards
for unsportsmanlike conduct.
-Hey,Pop? -Yeah?
That time you hit Hazen in the mouth.
Was it worth it? Was it worth 30 years?
Yeah. For me it was.
Give me my goddamn shoe.
Mean Machine,first and ten.
Wait a minute.
Paul Crewe,number 22,
is going back into the game
for the Mean Machine.
All right,new quarterback.
Shok,go on the bench.
Move over. Here we go.
-Nickel defense,way to go. -Fuck you.
Look who's back! It's baby boy!

Behind the line of scrimmage
for a six-yard loss.

Ball goes back to Crewe.
He's going to pass on fourth and long yardage.

Way to do it,Paul!
The line is set.
Hut!
Shotgun left! Shotgun!
Hut! Hut!
Crewe is looking for a receiver.
Can't find one.
Where in the hell's he goin'?

Got your confidence back?
-Get Scarboro. -Hard-nosed son of a bitch.
Flankers out left and right.
Hut,hut!
Bogdanski hit Nate Scarboro
with a cheap shot.
A most reprehensible action.
Old double 'O' is down
and he seems to be badly hurt.
How is it,Nate?
I love it.
After all these years...
My first touchdown.
Gotta be his knee.
I heard it pop clear across the field.
Let's get him up.
You'll be all right,Nate. Hang in there.
Hey,Paul,you've gotta do it.
Screw Hazen!
Don't worry. He'll get his.
Good old Nate Scarboro.
One of the most beloved men
this institution has ever had.
The extra-point kick is good.
Tightening that score now to 35 to 20.
Now Blue Eyes here
can kick the ball 10 yards,
think one of you bastards can fall on it?
Right on,man,right on!

the ball and he boots it.
It's an onside kick!

Hey,he tell you about my touchdown?
Ladies and gentlemen,

We're gonna drop-kick.
Shotgun,drop-kick on one.
-Ready? -Break!
The ball goes back
to Charlie "Blue Eyes."

I haven't seen one of those in 25 years.
-How 'bout it,Ref? -Good as gold.
-What the hell was that? -That was a drop-kick.

How much does that count?

It's fourth and 21 for the Mean Machine
on their own 39-yard line.

He dumps it off on the pass.

Bogdanski is really wreaking havoc
on that Mean Machine team.
All right,quiet down.
Listen to me. Listen to me!
We're gonna let Bogdanski come right through.
Nobody touch that big mother.You got it?
I wanna try somethin'.I wanna try somethin' now.
And if it works,everybody hit him,right?
Right!

Left!
Blue 69.
Set.
Hut!
They're tangled now.
There is a penalty of 15 yards
against the Mean Machine
for unnecessary roughness.
That pass sure didn't look like
it was an accident.
Bogdanski is staggering,but he is up.
He is up and on his feet.
Okay,we got 15. Huddle up on the ball.
Come on,let's huddle up.
Huddle up!
Unbelievable.

You want to?
No way.

They're taking Bogdanski
off the field in an ambulance.

I'll step one step off the line.
I'll step on it.
-All right,on one. Ready? -Break!
Machine's ball,first and ten
on the Guards' 31-yard line.
Blue 28. Blue 28.
A tense moment with less than

Hut!
Spooner goes down on the one-yard line.
Protest that play!
Hey,Crewe,call time. Call time.
Time! Time,Ref.
Time! Time!
It's first and goal to go

Blue 29. Blue 29. Set.

And Crewe calls
for his third and last time-out
with seven seconds left on the clock.
Where the hell is he goin'?
Come on. Let's find out.
Crewe has taken his last time-out,
and he's heading toward
the Mean Machine bench.
He's heading towards
the Mean Machine bench
followed by the entire offensive unit
of the Mean Machine.
Most unusual,ladies and gentlemen.
I don't know what they're doing down there.
It's silent as a church.
It looks more like a prayer meeting
than it does like a huddle.
Whatever happens,
regardless of the outcome,
this has been one fantastic showing.
We've come too far together
to stop now.
For Granny,for Nate...
For Caretaker.
Let's do it!
The Mean Machine! The Mean Machine!

We could be number one. We are number one!
Where's your goddamn power theory now?
He's tryin' to escape.
-Bullshit. -Officer!
-Crewe! -I'm talking to you!
Crewe!
He's trying to escape. Here,shoot him!
Crewe!
You gonna let him get away? Shoot him!
-Crewe. -Shoot him,you...
-Crewe! -Shoot him!
-Crewe! -Kill him!
Kill that son of a bitch! Shoot him.
Game ball.
Stick this in your trophy case.
I knew you could do it!
