A scene from The Replacements 2000

[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-!

Jimmy McGinty

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?

McGinty

[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!

Shane Falco

[enters locker room]

I can.

Martell

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

Falco

Coach?

McGinty

What the hell took you so long?

Falco

Traffic. [players cheer him on]

McGinty

Suit up!

Martell

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

McGinty

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]

Nigel Gruff

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.

Falco

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

Franklin

[refers to Martell]

My brothers, will somebody please, PLEASE get this asshole out of here?
[Andre Jackson leads players in shoving Martell out]
