Quotes
-
Claude Gearheart : Skeet, it ain't worth it. How can you play football? You can't even stand up straight.
Skeet Keeler : Coach will cut me for sure if I'm not out there tomorrow.
Claude Gearheart : Aw, hell! This ain't the Korean front!
[Skeet hands Johnny and Gearhart his clippings]
Skeet Keeler : "Carries the flag of Lufkin." That's what my high school coach said. Mom said I'm the lucky star in the paper; they all warned me so I wouldn't be embarrassed. Without football, I'm nothin' but a shiftless wildcatter's kid. Nobody from nowhere.
Claude Gearheart : Ain't nobody counted on a crazy coach.
Skeet Keeler : He ain't all wrong. I ain't had to work for nothin' my whole life. If I bomb out here, I hate to think how the folks in Lufkin will treat me... or my mama. I might as well die in Junction.
Johnny Haynes : Nobody's gonna die. We're gonna win. Coach is the real thing.

Betch : [Johnny is throwing up into a bucket] Don't give it all away, son. You're gonna need gas for this afternoon.
[he pats Johnny on the back]
Johnny Haynes : Yes, sir!

Claude Gearheart : [Furiously drinking the shower water after being run by Bryant in practice] Screw him! I'd rather be cuttin' lumber in Oregon with my brother!
Johnny Haynes : You can't quit, man. We need ya.
Claude Gearheart : For what? Fertilizer?
Johnny Haynes : We're gonna win the Southwest, Gear.
Claude Gearheart : With Bryant? Not a chance. The bastard's just like my old man.
Johnny Haynes : Well, your old man ain't won sixty-six football games.
Claude Gearheart : [Grabs Haynes angrily] He knocked you to Tucson! You like that?
Johnny Haynes : Hurt like hell.
Claude Gearheart : I bet it did.
Johnny Haynes : But you know what? He was right. I stood Morris up. Moved him around like Grandma's china all afternoon. You can't quit, Gear. What's Oregon got that we don't... besides water, trees, and women?
