Sean: Listen, Paul, we convince a kid to stop gangbanging, all we do is create a void. And unless we fill that void with somethin' better, we're gonna lose 'em. According to the teaching staff, the kids here have trouble being punctual, responding to authority, being a member of a team, and accepting criticism. What one activity can improve 'em on all these areas?
Paul Higa: You wanna start a football team?
Sean: Exactly.
Paul: Sean, look at them. Our whole system's designed to prevent them from making contact.

Malcolm: Seventy-five percent of our kids end up back in jail. How much worse could it be?
Ted: Well, who are they gonna play against?
Sean: I'll find 'em high school teams to play.

Sean: Not now, no. But if they were a football team...
Ted: Oh, come on, Sean. It's-it's impossible.
Sean: Then let's try the impossible, because the possible just ain't workin'. Paul, we've got to give these kids a target and we've gotta fill that void. You played football, didn't you?
Paul: Defensive end. Second Team All League. All right, we'll give it a try. But your neck is way out on this.
