Brian Piccolo quotes from Brian's Song (1971)

Brian Piccolo

So, Concannon calls this trap play, and it's just beautiful... 43 yards, wasn't it 43? Ah. So, Halas sees he's tired, and sends me in, so I go in, he comes out. Concannon then figures he's gonna get REALLY foxy... you know, Concannon is... So, he says, "Um, same play. VERY SAME PLAY." Now, a trap play is also called, a SUCKER play, because it makes the defense look REAL bad when it works. Now, defenses DO NOT like to look real bad, see... it makes 'em kinda surly... So, anyway, all the linemen go this way, and it's like I am lookin' at a team portrait of the Los Angeles Rams! "Hey, Deacon! Merlin! How's the family, Rosey?"

Brian Piccolo

I said thank you.

Gale Sayers

I know.

Brian Piccolo

Well, usually when someone says thank you you're supposed to say you're welcome or How's Your mother?

Gale Sayers

How's your mother? ?

Brian Piccolo

She's doin' fine, thanks for asking.

Piccolo, you bone-headed spaghetti eater, that was Fake Draw Screen Right. What the hell do you do on Fake Draw Screen Right?

Brian Piccolo

Well, on uh, Fake Draw Screen Right I uh, pick up the linebacker if he's comin, 'less of course it's Butkus, then I simply notify the quarterback to send for a preacher.

Brian Piccolo

I think I know what's wrong with me.

Gale Sayers

Yeah, what's that?

Brian Piccolo

I'm pregnant.
