Woman Reporter
(Running to catch up with McGinty heading to the locker room for halftime)

Coach, what will Washington need to get back into this game?

(pause)

You've got to have heart.

Woman Reporter

Can you elaborate?

(striking his chest with his roll of papers)

Miles and miles of heart.

Woman Reporter
(comes to a halt)

So with a word, Coach McGinty says Washington will need to have heart to get back into this ball game.

Eddie Martell

We have a game to win. Nobody can beat Dallas with these losers!

[enters locker room]

I can.

Martell

Hi Shane, how are ya, now get the HELL OUT OF MY LOCKER ROOM!

Coach?

What the hell took you so long?

Traffic. [players cheer him on]

Suit up!

Martell

What?! O'Niel will fire your ass!

It won't be the first time!

Martell

This is bullshit. I'm going to put an end to it right now. (heads for the locker room exit)

(Pulling his shirt off, spitting into his right hand, and faces Martell)

Come and get some then, you big fatty!

Martell
(Martell chuckles at Nigel in front of him but the grin disappears as the whole team moves to surround him.)

This doesn't change anything, Falco. I'm an All-Pro quarterback. I've got TWO Super Bowl rings! You'll never be more than a replacement player.

I can live with that.

Clifford Franklin
[refers to Martell]

Will somebody please, please get this asshole out of here?

[As the crowd sings "Ole Ole Ole," Nigel Gruff has second thoughts about the goal kick]

I'm sorry.

What?

I'm sorry Shane, I can't kick it. I took 50,000 quid and pissed it all on the track.

What do you mean?

They're gonna take my pub away from me. It's all I've got, Shane!

Unnamed Forward

Come on, Shane!

[At halftime, in the Sentinels' locker room, losing to Dallas 17-0)

Clifford Franklin

I ran it just like you said! You just underthrew me!

Eddie Martel

This isn't a track meet, asshole, you have to look for the ball!

Franklin

You better back off, man.

Martel

You-!

Hey, hey! [To Martel] I'll pull you off the field, you spoiled little punk.

Martel

And who do you think O'Neill's going to side with: some burned out old coach, or somebody who puts fans in the stands?

[Starts to approach Martel]

You sonofabitch...

Leo Pilachowski
[Players separate them]

Hey, what do you think you're doing?! We got a game to play!

Martel

Nobody can beat Dallas with these losers!

[enters locker room]

I can.

Martell

Hi Falco, it's great to see ya, now get the hell out of MY LOCKER ROOM!

Coach?

What the hell took you so long?

Traffic. [players cheer him on]

Suit up!

Martell

What?! [To McGinty] O'Neil will fire your ass!

It won't be the first time!

Martell

This is bullshit. I'm going to put an end to this right now. [heads for the locker room exit]

Come and get some then! [Pulling his shirt off, spitting into his right hand, and faces Martell] You big fairy!

Martell
[chuckles at Nigel but the grin disappears as the whole team moves to surround him.]

This doesn't change anything, Falco. I'm an All-Pro quarterback. I've got [points two fingers at him] TWO Super Bowl rings! And you'll never be more than a replacement player.

Yeah... [looks at McGinty] yeah, I can live with that. [team applauds]

My brothers, will somebody please, PLEASE get this asshole out of here?
