A scene from The Replacements 2000
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?

Jimmy McGinty

(pause)

You've got to have heart.

Woman Reporter

Can you elaborate?

Jimmy McGinty

(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!

Shane Falco

[enters locker room]

I can.

Martell

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

Falco

Coach?

Jimmy McGinty

What the hell took you so long?

Falco

Traffic. [players cheer him on]

Jimmy McGinty

Suit up!

Martell

What?! O'Niel will fire your ass!

Jimmy McGinty

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)

Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff

(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.

Falco

I can live with that.

Clifford Franklin

[refers to Martell]

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

Nigel Gruff

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

I'm sorry.

Shane Falco

What?

Gruff

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

Falco

What do you mean?

Gruff

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

Unnamed Forward

Come on, Shane!
