"I have to give them the old Knute Rockne." " About time for the gun." " Right." " (pistolfiires)" " Yeah!" "Men, ever since the dark days before Pearl Harbor, I've been proud to wear this uniform."

"Come on, boy." " What's the matter with him?" " You oughta know." "You pulled something." " I guess you don't wanna double the bet." " The hell I don't." "We beatyou without him, and we'll go on beating you." " Are you prepared to backthat up with odds?" " Damn right." "Three to one." "Double the bet." "Player 24, who is he?" "Stop him!" "Stop him!" "Stop him!" "Who is that guy?" "He wasn't in the game in the first half." "Stop him!" " That's Spearchucker Jones." " Who?" "He played with San Francisco before he got drafted." "He's gonna be tough to stop, too." "Henry, you brought in a ringer, did you?" " Radar, what's the general trying to say?" " Didn't bring him in in the first half!" "He's just been informed as to the identity of our Spearchucker." " His ringer's spotted our ringer." " How do you like them apples, Charlie?" " You can't trust anybody." " Now watch him make the extra point." "(whistles blows)" "Isn't that illegal?" "What kind of team is it?" "They're falling all around like dead flies!" "(whistle blows)" "Look!" "A red flag!" "We've got a red flag!" "Hot Lips!" "It's a penalty, you idiot." "(whistle blows)" "Judson, get off of him." "You'll be thrown out of the game." "Judson, kill him!" "What's wrong with you?" "We're here to play football, not fight!" "Bastard 88 called me a coon." "Called you a what?" "Coon." "OK, that's an old pro trick to getyou thrown out of the ball game." " Why don'tyou do the same thing to him?" " What, call him a coon?" "No, the boys in camp used to talk about his sister." "Her name was Gladys." "Use it!" " Yeah." " All right, all right." "(whistle blows)" "(crowd shouting)" "(Hammond) What the hell are you doing, for God's sake?" "What's the matter here?" "They're takin' him out." "(cheering) #69 is divine!" "#69 is divine!"
