You make sure they remember, FOREVER, the night they played the Titans!

Coach Boone, you did a good job up here. You ran a tough camp from what I can see.

Well I'm very happy to have the approval of a 5 year old.

Sheryl Yoast

I'm 9 and a half, thank you very much.

Why don't you get this little girl some pretty dolls or something coach?

Coach Yoast

I've tried. She loves football.

Coach Yoast

I think this is a very good time for prayer and reflection...

Coach, I'm hurt. I'm not dead.

Coach Yoast
[Yoast confronts a crooked referee at the regional championship game]

I know all about it, Titus.

Referee

What are you taliking about, Bill?

Coach Yoast

You call this game fair, or I'll go to the papers. I don't care if I go down with you, but before God I swear I'll see every last one of you thrown in jail!

Referee

You dig your own grave.

Coach Yoast

Okay.

Coach Yoast

All right now, I don't want them to gain another yard! You BLITZ ALL NIGHT!!! If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'll take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember FOREVER the night they played the Titans!!!

Coach Yoast
[defense cheers]

Leave no doubt!

[Bertier notices an Army officer and his son approaching the coaches]

Hey fellas! Look at that fruitcake!

Coach Yoast

Gerry, just keep your mouth shut and get back on that field!

Col. Bass

Coach Boone, I'm Colonel Bass. We just got transferred here from Huntington Beach, California. This is my son, Ronnie, he's a quarterback.

[shakes Sunshine's hand]

How you doin' Ronnie?

Ronnie Bass

Coach Yoast.

Coach Yoast
[shakes Sunshine's hand as well]

My pleasure.

We're pretty set at the, uh, quarterback, colonel. But if your boy's any good, you might want to check out Wilson or Annandale.

Col. Bass

Well, I met Coach Taber. He won't let blacks play on his team. The way I see it, if these boys can fight a war together, they can play football together. Now, he's a pretty good runner...

[Sunshine throws football towards Gerry, who is standing at the other end of the field. The football hits Gerry square in the back. He turns around, angrily] [laughing hysterically]

Yeah, a fruitcake, huh?

Coach Yoast
[Coaches Boone and Yoast argue about the harassment by racist residents]

This is about setting a good example for our boys and the community.

I don't scratch my head 'til it itches, and I don't dance until I hear some music, I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is.

Coach Yoast

You want to carry your sinful pride to your grave, that's your business, but when your sins endanger on my little girl, it becomes mine.

My sins? You think my sins had something to do with what happened last night? I'm sorry about what happened to your daughter, I really am, but maybe you've got a small taste of what my girl has gone through. [Yoast is silent] Welcome to my life, Yoast.

Coach Yoast
[Yoast realizes the Hall of Fame board have fixed the game against the Titans] [to referee]

I know all about it, Titus.

What are you talking about, Bill?

Coach Yoast

You call this game fair, or I'm going to the papers. I don't care if I go down with you. But before God, I swear I'll see every last one of you thrown in jail.

Referee

You dig your own grave.

Coach Yoast
[Smiles]

All right. DEFENSE, ON ME! [huddles players; to Petey] Petey, don't you go on the strong side.

Coach they're calling a holding penalty on me every time-

Coach Yoast

Did I ask for your excuses? You wanna act like a star, you'd better give me a star effort, do you hear me? [Petey leaves] Forget about him. Allan, you're in, come on. All right now, I don't want them to gain another yard. YOU BLITZ ALL NIGHT!! If they cross the line of scrimmage, I'm going to take every last one of you out! You make sure they remember, FOREVER, the night they played the Titans! [players cheer and get back to the field] LEAVE NO DOUBT!

Coach Yoast

No, no you're not.

You know, I've been reading on activities for people in wheelchairs and such...[Smiles] They've got Olympics.
