You wanna play football with this team, you're gonna live with the team, eat with the team, and work with the team.

It's a lot harder than five homeboys beatin' up a security guard, Perez.

Man, I got so much experience I could give some away and still have more than I could use.
All right.
I'll play.
I can't use you, Junior.
Why not?
'Cause you got no discipline. You'll be tryin' to start fights every time I turn my back.
You ain't even gonna give me a chance?
You've had plenty of chances. Who else? How 'bout you, Owens? You played defensive back, didn't you? For Washington? [Kelvin doesn't answer] You wanna check your calendar and get back to me? Or maybe you got another liquor store to rob.

All right.
