A scene from Little Giants 1994
Danny O'Shea

[When the Little Giants, losing at the half, want to be put on the injured list]

You know, there is something you guys should know. When I was 10 years old, I put myself on the injured list. I never got off it.

Danny O'Shea

Because I didn't get picked a few times, so I started hiding under the bleachers.

Marcus "The Toe"

That's where we belong. Under the bleachers.

Danny O'Shea

No, you don't. You guys belong out there with those Cowboys. You know how I know that? Because I belong out there with my brother.

Rudy Zolteck

Give us a break, coach. You could never beat Kevin O'Shea at anything!

Danny O'Shea

That's not true. I did beat him once.

Danny O'Shea

When we were kids. We used to race our bikes down Cherry Hill every day after school. We raced every day and he always beat me, but one time - one time i beat him.

Jake "Berminator" Berman:

You beat Kevin down Cherry Hill?

Danny O'Shea

Yes, I did. He ate my dust.

Johnny "Viper" Vennaro

Big deal. One time.

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

You know, one time at Randy Cooper's swim party, I did a backflip off the high dive, and my brother chickened out.

Marcus "The Toe"

Roger chickened out? He's a Marine!

Rudy Zolteck

Ah, that's nothing! One time at the spring carnival, I beat both of my brothers in the Cow Dung Toss.

Tad "Rad Tad" Simpson

You beat Matt and Brad in the turd toss?

Jake "Berminator" Berman

You know, one time I went fishing with my entire family, and I was the only one that didn't throw up.

Marcus "The Toe"

So what? It still doesn't make us good football players.

Danny O'Shea

Well, wait a second, guys. Who said you had to be good to play football? You play football because you want to. You play football because it's fun. You play football so you and pretend you're Joe Montana throwing a touchdown pass, or Emmitt Smith going for a long run, and even if those Cowboys are better than you guys, even if they beat you 99 times out of 100, that still leaves.

Rudy Zolteck

One time.

Junior Floyd

[Smiles]

Yeah...one time!
