A scene from The Replacements 2000
Coach McGinty

[McGinty arrives to recruit Falco. Falco, after a hard day's work, collapses onto his boat, right in front of McGinty] [Surprising Falco]

You look like a swordfish I caught once. Yeah, he hit the deck just like that. [Falco stares at him] You know who I am?

Shane Falco

Yeah, Jimmy McGinty. You're the old coach from the 80's. [Picks himself up]

McGinty

Yeah, we met just before the Sugar Bowl.

Falco

I remember. [Shakes hands with McGinty]

McGinty

Hell of a game, that Sugar Bowl. What'd you lose that by, 40 points?

Falco

That'd be 45.

McGinty

Sometimes a game like that just sticks with you, and you can never shake it off.

Falco

Got three concussions to prove it.

McGinty

That's why girls don't play the game.

Falco

What're you doing here, coach?

McGinty

I'm back with the Sentinels; I want you to quarterback them. I've found the best guards available to protect you and a wide receiver even you couldn't overthrow.

Falco

...I'm retired.

McGinty

Retired, huh? [Gestures to his run-down houseboat] Well, it looks like things have been going real well for you since.

Falco

I've got no complaints. It's quiet here. Nobody bothers me.

McGinty

Well, that's the real good thing about plankton, you know: it pretty much keeps to itself.
