♫ Marching Band Playing ♫

00:00:42,976 --> 00:00:44,878
(crowd cheering)
3
00:00:59,292 --> 00:01:01,193

00:01:09,168 --> 00:01:10,904
Doc:
Vicious winds peeled
6
00:01:11,038 --> 00:01:13,840
the topsoil off
the plains and prairies
7
00:01:13,974 --> 00:01:16,944
of the Texas Panhandle,
creating a waking nightmare
8
00:01:17,076 --> 00:01:19,278
called the Dust Bowl.
9
00:01:19,412 --> 00:01:21,615
It's hard to remember
which came first,
10
00:01:21,748 --> 00:01:24,651
the Dust Bowl
or the Great Depression,
11
00:01:24,785 --> 00:01:28,555
but what followed made
hell on earth look forgiving
12
00:01:28,689 --> 00:01:30,591
and would
leave families broken,
13
00:01:30,724 --> 00:01:32,626
as thousands of children
were orphaned
14
00:01:32,759 --> 00:01:36,830
across a nation
clamoring for a sense of hope.
15
00:01:43,169 --> 00:01:46,773
What they didn't know
was that hope was coming.
16
00:01:46,907 --> 00:01:49,977
But it wasn't coming
in the form of rain.
17
00:01:50,109 --> 00:01:51,945
- Doc: Here we go. Okay.
- (groans)
18
00:01:52,079 --> 00:01:54,380
(grunts)
19
00:01:54,514 --> 00:01:56,783
- You wanna block?
- You're gonna tell me to block?
20
00:01:56,917 --> 00:01:58,885
- We're losing because of you!
- Hey! Hey!
21
00:01:59,019 --> 00:02:01,021
- You can't block or tackle!
- Don't touch me!
22
00:02:01,153 --> 00:02:02,689
- You haven't done shit!
- You need to help.
23
00:02:02,823 --> 00:02:05,692
Get your ass out there
so I can hand it to you!
24
00:02:05,826 --> 00:02:08,294
- You want faster?
- Doc: Maybe we ought to think
25
00:02:08,427 --> 00:02:10,262
about calling this game
right now.
26
00:02:10,396 --> 00:02:11,965
BOY 1:
Hardy ain't said a word.
27
00:02:12,099 --> 00:02:13,600
BOY 2: Think you've done
a good job at tackling?
28
00:02:13,734 --> 00:02:15,301
A.P.:
Don't talk to him like that!
29
00:02:15,434 --> 00:02:17,370
- BOY 3: Shut up, A.P.!
- BOY 4: Y'all need to do better!
30
00:02:17,504 --> 00:02:18,939
Run down the damn field!

00:02:36,990 --> 00:02:38,625
Wheatie:
What now, coach?
33
00:02:48,535 --> 00:02:51,337
(people applauding,
cheering on radio)
34
00:02:51,470 --> 00:02:54,240
Roosevelt (on radio):
Let me assert my firm belief
35
00:02:54,373 --> 00:02:59,980
that the only thing
we have to fear is fear itself.
36
00:03:01,682 --> 00:03:04,651
Daddy, what are
all these people doing?
37
00:03:05,819 --> 00:03:09,790
- Rusty. Rusty.
- Yes?
38
00:03:09,923 --> 00:03:13,192
Well, honey, they're finding
a new place to live.
39
00:03:13,325 --> 00:03:14,728
I want to go back home.
40
00:03:14,861 --> 00:03:16,362
We have a new home now,
41
00:03:16,495 --> 00:03:19,666
and we should be very thankful.
What do I always say?
42
00:03:19,800 --> 00:03:22,435
New adventures brave the heart
and set the soul asail.
43
00:03:22,569 --> 00:03:25,072
- Isn't that right?
- Yes, Daddy.
44
00:03:25,204 --> 00:03:28,542
Roosevelt: This nation
is asking for action,
45
00:03:28,675 --> 00:03:30,577
and action now.
46
00:03:30,711 --> 00:03:33,345
(crowd cheers)
47
00:03:33,479 --> 00:03:38,552
We humbly ask
the blessing of God.
48
00:03:38,685 --> 00:03:42,923
May he protect
each and every one of us.
49
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:50,300
Brought to you by Sailor420
!!! Hope you enjoy the film !!!
50
00:03:56,169 --> 00:03:58,572
- Is that it?
- Yup.
51
00:03:58,705 --> 00:04:02,776
Looks like a castle. I've never
seen a building like that.
52
00:04:03,910 --> 00:04:05,078
Me neither.
53
00:04:06,680 --> 00:04:08,247
Doc:
A castle perhaps,
54
00:04:08,380 --> 00:04:10,249
but this is no fairy tale.
55
00:04:10,382 --> 00:04:13,787
The Masonic Home was not
full of imaginary beings
56
00:04:13,920 --> 00:04:15,522
but of children, forgotten
57
00:04:15,655 --> 00:04:18,390
during the harsh reality
of these times.
58
00:04:20,160 --> 00:04:21,228
Wheatie:
Half a mile out.
59
00:04:21,360 --> 00:04:22,763
Fancy?
60
00:04:22,896 --> 00:04:25,065
Nah, shitty, old Ford.
61
00:04:25,198 --> 00:04:26,733
Ah, hell, you can take them.
62
00:04:26,867 --> 00:04:28,735
Looking for a sugar mama myself.
63
00:04:28,869 --> 00:04:30,670
There's a lady in there,
64
00:04:30,804 --> 00:04:33,907
and, boy,
does she look like a peach.
65
00:04:34,040 --> 00:04:35,441
Let me see that.
66
00:04:38,078 --> 00:04:40,412
Snoggs: Oh, Lordy,
does she got a set on her.
67
00:04:40,547 --> 00:04:42,414
Here comes mama.
68
00:04:42,549 --> 00:04:44,316
You boys just save yourselves
the heartache.
69
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:47,220
One look at me,
I'm out of this damn hoosegow.
70
00:04:47,353 --> 00:04:52,092
(stuttering) Who-who'd want a b-bag
of bones l-like you, S-Snoggs?
71
00:04:52,225 --> 00:04:54,594
You're one to t-t-talk, DeWitt.
72
00:04:54,728 --> 00:04:57,463
Who's gonna adopt a grown man,
you stuttering Sasquatch?
73
00:04:57,597 --> 00:05:00,466
♫ ♫
74
00:05:00,600 --> 00:05:02,102
It's what's inside that counts.
75
00:05:02,235 --> 00:05:05,705
- (chuckles)
- Mommy, I don't like it here.
76
00:05:05,839 --> 00:05:09,776
Doc: The orphanage was seen as a
cold, uncaring institution
77
00:05:09,910 --> 00:05:13,713
where children were
to be pitied, if not feared.
78
00:05:13,847 --> 00:05:17,449
Are you picking up,
or are you dropping off?
79
00:05:17,584 --> 00:05:19,786
- Aren't you the cutest thing.
- I'm Rusty Russell,
80
00:05:19,920 --> 00:05:22,522
the new math, science teacher.
This is my wife, Juanita.
81
00:05:22,656 --> 00:05:23,824
She's teaching English...
82
00:05:23,957 --> 00:05:25,659
- How do you do?
- ...and music.
83
00:05:25,792 --> 00:05:28,562
- The football coach? Ha-ha-ha!
- That's right.
84
00:05:28,695 --> 00:05:30,263
Yeah, I'm Frank Wynn.
85
00:05:30,396 --> 00:05:33,133
I run the day-to-day
and keep the hooligans in line.
86
00:05:33,266 --> 00:05:35,302
- Welcome to the home.
- Thank you very much.
87
00:05:35,434 --> 00:05:38,972
- We're pleased to be here and...
- Let's get you settled.
88
00:05:39,105 --> 00:05:41,575
Boys, get down here
and unload this car!
89
00:05:41,708 --> 00:05:43,043
Rusty:
That's not necessary.
90
00:05:43,176 --> 00:05:44,878
Thank you, I've got it.
91
00:05:45,011 --> 00:05:48,014
See, it's a little precarious
there, the way I got it tied up.
92
00:05:50,817 --> 00:05:52,152
RED:
Afternoon, Frank.
93
00:05:52,285 --> 00:05:54,721
Got another stray
for your stock.
94
00:05:54,855 --> 00:05:56,690
This old Hardy Brown's boy.
95
00:05:56,823 --> 00:05:58,959
Found him curled up
next to his dead daddy.
96
00:05:59,092 --> 00:06:00,727
Smells like it too.
97
00:06:00,861 --> 00:06:03,362
- Could use a little scrubbing.
- Yeah, we can handle that.
98
00:06:03,495 --> 00:06:05,799
Uh, meet the new football coach.
99
00:06:05,932 --> 00:06:08,268
This is Rusty Russell.
This is Red Wright.
100
00:06:08,400 --> 00:06:10,136
- Sheriff.
- Football, huh?
101
00:06:10,270 --> 00:06:13,206
- That's right.
- You're a little south on talent.
102
00:06:13,340 --> 00:06:15,675
- Don't even have a field.
- The field don't make the team.
103
00:06:15,809 --> 00:06:18,178
I'm gonna get my family inside.
It's nice to meet you.
104
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:20,547
Can you get
the Brown boy up to Doc?
105
00:06:20,680 --> 00:06:23,083
- Yeah, I can do that.
- Frank: Unload the car!
106
00:06:23,216 --> 00:06:25,252
♫ ♫
107
00:06:25,417 --> 00:06:28,822
Doc: Orphans were stigmatized
as misfits and outcasts
108
00:06:28,955 --> 00:06:33,326
and often referred to
not as orphans but as inmates.
109
00:06:33,459 --> 00:06:35,862
It didn't matter that
they had done nothing wrong.
110
00:06:35,996 --> 00:06:39,799
Kids without parents were
simply second-class citizens.
111
00:06:39,933 --> 00:06:42,135
Juanita:
How many orphans do you have?
112
00:06:42,269 --> 00:06:43,937
I got about 150 right now.
113
00:06:44,070 --> 00:06:46,239
I like to keep it manageable.
114
00:06:46,373 --> 00:06:48,041
Everything in order.
115
00:06:48,174 --> 00:06:51,544
I run a very tight ship,
military style.
116
00:06:51,678 --> 00:06:54,480
Leon!
Get to the back of the line!
117
00:06:54,614 --> 00:06:56,415
You can't trust those types.
118
00:06:56,549 --> 00:06:59,719
They'll steal your hat,
then help you look for it.
119
00:06:59,853 --> 00:07:01,121
(laughing)
120
00:07:01,254 --> 00:07:05,191
Help you look for it.
Come on!
121
00:07:05,325 --> 00:07:08,028
Doc: You got jock itch, Snoggs.
I don't want to scare you,
122
00:07:08,161 --> 00:07:10,063
but if you don't stop
shucking your corn,
123
00:07:10,196 --> 00:07:12,632
- your cob's gonna fall off.
- Oh, Doc, there's gotta be
124
00:07:12,766 --> 00:07:15,101
- something else we can do.
- No cure for adolescence,
125
00:07:15,235 --> 00:07:17,037
but this might help the itching.
126
00:07:17,170 --> 00:07:19,906
- RED: Good afternoon, Doc.
- Sheriff.
127
00:07:20,040 --> 00:07:21,908
I got Hardy Brown here.
128
00:07:22,042 --> 00:07:24,077
Mr. Brown, I'm Doc Hall.
129
00:07:24,210 --> 00:07:25,578
You all right?
130
00:07:25,712 --> 00:07:28,281
Ah, he's all right.
It's not his blood.
131
00:07:28,415 --> 00:07:30,817
I assume
you can read and write, son.
132
00:07:33,820 --> 00:07:37,023
It's okay.
You can fill this out later
133
00:07:37,157 --> 00:07:39,326
after you get cleaned up.
How that'd be?
134
00:07:39,458 --> 00:07:41,795
Snoggs, maybe you can show
Mr. Brown his new home.
135
00:07:41,928 --> 00:07:42,796
Snoggs:
Yes, sir.
136
00:07:42,929 --> 00:07:44,965
I'll show you the shower.
137
00:07:49,970 --> 00:07:52,672
What in the tarnation
are the Masons thinking,
138
00:07:52,806 --> 00:07:54,507
hiring a damn football coach?
139
00:07:54,641 --> 00:07:57,510
He's not just a damn football
coach, he's a damn good one.
140
00:07:57,644 --> 00:07:59,312
Took Temple
to district three times.
141
00:07:59,446 --> 00:08:01,047
He must have
a screw loose somewhere,
142
00:08:01,181 --> 00:08:02,481
signing on with this outfit.
143
00:08:02,615 --> 00:08:05,318
No offense,
but this is no Poly High.
144
00:08:05,452 --> 00:08:08,455
Well, not yet. To the New Deal.
145
00:08:08,588 --> 00:08:10,357
Unh! All right, here we go.
146
00:08:10,489 --> 00:08:12,225
One, two.
147
00:08:12,359 --> 00:08:13,793
(grunts)
148
00:08:16,029 --> 00:08:18,198
I'll get that fixed right away.
149
00:08:18,331 --> 00:08:19,733
Juanita:
Careful, careful.
150
00:08:19,866 --> 00:08:21,701
- Watch out.
- (coughs)
151
00:08:21,835 --> 00:08:24,070
Let's get you some air in here.
That'll make it better.
152
00:08:24,204 --> 00:08:25,638
(chuckles)
153
00:08:25,772 --> 00:08:27,674
Already been unlocked. Hey!
154
00:08:27,807 --> 00:08:30,010
Come on, now. All right, okay.
155
00:08:30,143 --> 00:08:33,013
(Frank gasping, then whimpering)
156
00:08:34,481 --> 00:08:37,384
♫ ♫
157
00:08:43,156 --> 00:08:44,924
Snoggs:
Didn't figure you had any soap,
158
00:08:45,058 --> 00:08:47,060
seeing as how you came in
with the sheriff.
159
00:08:47,193 --> 00:08:48,962
Unless you got some
stuffed somewhere,
160
00:08:49,095 --> 00:08:51,031
but who the hell'd
have soap on them?
161
00:08:51,164 --> 00:08:52,866
So I brought you some.
162
00:09:06,379 --> 00:09:08,348
Fat-ass gets off
on whupping our butts.
163
00:09:08,481 --> 00:09:11,051
Especially Snoggs' skinny ass.
164
00:09:11,184 --> 00:09:14,054
You can sleep here.
Any questions?
165
00:09:15,321 --> 00:09:16,623
My mama will come for me.
166
00:09:18,391 --> 00:09:19,692
Only mamas that come here
167
00:09:19,826 --> 00:09:22,028
are the ones
that give up their kids.
168
00:09:22,162 --> 00:09:24,064
You're an orphan now,
Hardy Brown.
169
00:09:28,068 --> 00:09:29,503
It'll be all right.
170
00:09:41,281 --> 00:09:44,217
♫ ♫
171
00:09:46,520 --> 00:09:48,421
(crickets chirping)
172
00:09:48,556 --> 00:09:50,223
(quietly)
Don't worry, I'm gonna...
173
00:09:50,356 --> 00:09:52,292
I'm gonna get
that patched and painted up,
174
00:09:52,425 --> 00:09:53,893
all of that.
175
00:09:54,027 --> 00:09:56,429
Oh, I'm not worried
about the ceiling.
176
00:09:56,564 --> 00:09:58,098
I'm more concerned
about the fact
177
00:09:58,231 --> 00:10:00,467
that we just adopted 150 kids.
178
00:10:02,235 --> 00:10:06,706
This is going to be even
more work than you imagined.
179
00:10:06,840 --> 00:10:10,310
Juanita, we have a chance
to make a real difference here.
180
00:10:10,443 --> 00:10:13,146
We were making
a difference at Temple.
181
00:10:13,279 --> 00:10:15,549
We left everything
for a place with nothing.
182
00:10:15,682 --> 00:10:17,650
That's exactly
why we came here.
183
00:10:17,784 --> 00:10:19,587
We can do this together.
184
00:10:19,752 --> 00:10:22,556
I'm starting to question that
for the first time in my life.
185
00:10:22,689 --> 00:10:24,824
This decision
was not made together.
186
00:10:24,958 --> 00:10:26,159
You informed me.
187
00:10:26,292 --> 00:10:28,328
There is a big difference.
188
00:10:33,900 --> 00:10:35,435
(sighing)
189
00:10:39,205 --> 00:10:41,542
Pinkney: Boy,
you're gonna have to earn your keep.
190
00:10:41,674 --> 00:10:43,843
Mind your elders.
191
00:10:43,977 --> 00:10:46,346
- God help you.
- (horse whinnies)
192
00:10:46,479 --> 00:10:48,948
George, look after Rusty.
193
00:10:49,082 --> 00:10:50,783
When things get better,
I'll be back.
194
00:10:50,917 --> 00:10:53,219
I promise. I do.
195
00:10:53,353 --> 00:10:55,955
- Mom, please don't leave.
- Pinkney: Let's go!
196
00:10:57,357 --> 00:10:59,459
- Mommy!
- (stifled sob)
197
00:10:59,593 --> 00:11:02,495
♫ ♫
198
00:11:17,844 --> 00:11:19,145
Not much to look at, is it?
199
00:11:20,446 --> 00:11:22,382
Matter of perspective,
I guess.
200
00:11:22,516 --> 00:11:23,883
I like your optimism.
201
00:11:24,017 --> 00:11:26,052
We need more of that
around here.
202
00:11:26,186 --> 00:11:28,488
I'm E.P. Hall. They call me Doc.
203
00:11:28,622 --> 00:11:30,223
Rusty Russell.
I'm a new teacher...
204
00:11:30,356 --> 00:11:31,824
Oh, I know who you are.
205
00:11:31,958 --> 00:11:34,727
And I know what you can do
with mediocre talent.
206
00:11:34,861 --> 00:11:36,062
I saw what you did
207
00:11:36,196 --> 00:11:38,097
- against Corsicana in '34.
- Oh, yeah.
208
00:11:38,231 --> 00:11:40,534
That's why I recommended you
for this job.
209
00:11:40,668 --> 00:11:42,435
- You did?
- Yes, sir.
210
00:11:43,970 --> 00:11:46,640
- Why'd you do that, doctor?
- Well, like I said,
211
00:11:46,773 --> 00:11:48,141
I like your optimism.
212
00:11:49,342 --> 00:11:51,044
- Okay.
- (chuckles softly)
213
00:11:52,745 --> 00:11:54,414
This field used for anything?
214
00:11:54,548 --> 00:11:57,350
Mexican lad used to graze
his goats up here a while back.
215
00:11:57,483 --> 00:11:59,352
Guess he quit the goat business.
216
00:11:59,485 --> 00:12:03,323
- Goat must've liked to eat rocks.
- That's right.
217
00:12:03,456 --> 00:12:04,724
I grew up out in West Texas.
218
00:12:04,857 --> 00:12:06,426
I know goats
don't need much grass,
219
00:12:06,560 --> 00:12:08,261
but I never knew one
that liked to eat rocks.
220
00:12:08,394 --> 00:12:11,431
These were
Fort Worth goats, coach.
221
00:12:11,565 --> 00:12:13,266
Fort Worth goats are different.
222
00:12:14,934 --> 00:12:16,135
(laughing)
223
00:12:16,269 --> 00:12:17,705
(chuckling)
224
00:12:17,837 --> 00:12:19,405
- Heh, all right.
- BOYS (chanting): Fight! Fight!
225
00:12:19,540 --> 00:12:21,007
Fort Worth goats, huh?
226
00:12:21,140 --> 00:12:22,610
- Uh-oh!
- Fight, fight, fight!
227
00:12:22,742 --> 00:12:24,277
(boys clamoring)
228
00:12:24,410 --> 00:12:26,746
- Kick his ass!
- Get him!
229
00:12:26,879 --> 00:12:28,414
Hey! Hey.
230
00:12:28,549 --> 00:12:29,949
Stop that!
231
00:12:30,083 --> 00:12:31,784
Didn't take you long
to make friends.
232
00:12:31,918 --> 00:12:33,786
Hey, calm down.
Take it easy, son.
233
00:12:33,920 --> 00:12:35,922
- No, it's over. Hey.
- Calm down. Calm down.
234
00:12:36,055 --> 00:12:37,957
Look at me. You all right?
235
00:12:39,593 --> 00:12:40,860
What is going on?
236
00:12:40,994 --> 00:12:42,929
Doc: Nothing to be concerned
about, Frank.
237
00:12:43,062 --> 00:12:45,999
A little misunderstanding about
who's gonna play what position
238
00:12:46,132 --> 00:12:48,602
on the new football team,
right, lads?
239
00:12:48,736 --> 00:12:50,803
- That's right.
- Sure.
240
00:12:50,937 --> 00:12:52,740
The rest of you
should come out too.
241
00:12:54,541 --> 00:12:57,944
Well, the way I see it,
you can either work the field
242
00:12:58,077 --> 00:12:59,479
or play the field.
243
00:13:01,080 --> 00:13:02,849
Hell, sounds good to me. I'm in.
244
00:13:02,982 --> 00:13:05,251
- See you on the field.
- All right, good deal.
245
00:13:05,385 --> 00:13:07,554
- Might as well.
- Okay.
246
00:13:07,688 --> 00:13:08,921
Rusty:
Here we go.
247
00:13:14,227 --> 00:13:16,996
Looks like there's gonna be
some changes around here.
248
00:13:17,130 --> 00:13:18,364
(chuckles)
249
00:13:18,498 --> 00:13:20,833
Oh, nothing changes
around here, Doc.
250
00:13:20,967 --> 00:13:22,770
(flask clinks)
251
00:13:22,902 --> 00:13:25,171
You should know that
more than anyone.
252
00:13:29,409 --> 00:13:33,179
Doc: Rusty knew that life inside
the orphanage held little promise.
253
00:13:33,313 --> 00:13:35,315
Chicken, I'm putting
a football team together.
254
00:13:35,448 --> 00:13:37,250
We could use a good athlete
like yourself.
255
00:13:37,383 --> 00:13:40,386
Oh, thank you, sir, but I ain't
never played football before.
256
00:13:40,521 --> 00:13:43,089
I ain't so good with balls,
just mainly eggs.
257
00:13:43,222 --> 00:13:46,092
Rusty: Boys, think about joining
this team I'm putting together.
258
00:13:46,225 --> 00:13:49,195
He knew that football
would inevitably bring
259
00:13:49,329 --> 00:13:51,030
self-respect to these boys.
260
00:13:51,164 --> 00:13:53,032
We teach survival here.
261
00:13:53,166 --> 00:13:55,502
If we don't, they'll never
make it on the outside.
262
00:13:55,636 --> 00:13:57,870
Well, the Masonic board hired us
263
00:13:58,004 --> 00:14:00,507
to implement a curriculum
and a football program
264
00:14:00,641 --> 00:14:03,242
that'll prepare these kids
for new opportunities
265
00:14:03,376 --> 00:14:05,646
- beyond manual labor.
- Right.
266
00:14:05,779 --> 00:14:07,847
I'm sure you're probably aware
267
00:14:07,980 --> 00:14:11,150
that the Interscholastic League
has strict guidelines
268
00:14:11,284 --> 00:14:12,753
when it comes
to admitting teams.
269
00:14:12,919 --> 00:14:14,487
- Yes, sir.
- Convince them,
270
00:14:14,621 --> 00:14:17,190
then go ahead
and have your football program.
271
00:14:17,323 --> 00:14:19,058
- Okay.
- But it's very important
272
00:14:19,192 --> 00:14:22,295
that it does not interfere
with the day-to-day at the home.
273
00:14:22,428 --> 00:14:24,698
What is it that you produce
at the home,
274
00:14:24,832 --> 00:14:25,699
if I might ask?
275
00:14:25,833 --> 00:14:27,033
Frank:
More paper!
276
00:14:27,166 --> 00:14:29,402
And get these rollers
cleaned faster.
277
00:14:29,536 --> 00:14:33,607
You boys wouldn't last
two days in the outside world.
278
00:14:33,741 --> 00:14:35,108
Hey! God!
279
00:14:35,241 --> 00:14:38,077
- These are two-dollar shoes!
- It was just an accident.
280
00:14:38,211 --> 00:14:40,913
Do you have something to say
for yourself? Do you? Huh?
281
00:14:41,047 --> 00:14:43,751
My brother ain't said more than
four words since he was little.
282
00:14:43,883 --> 00:14:45,485
He's got a mouth, doesn't he?
283
00:14:45,619 --> 00:14:48,321
Are you dumb
or are you just plain crazy?
284
00:14:48,454 --> 00:14:49,590
Listen here. He's clumsy.
285
00:14:49,723 --> 00:14:51,558
- He didn't mean to...
- Who you talking to?
286
00:14:51,692 --> 00:14:53,426
Hug that pole!
287
00:14:53,560 --> 00:14:55,261
This should open his mouth.
288
00:14:55,395 --> 00:14:57,296
I have a lovely
little prescription.
289
00:14:57,430 --> 00:15:00,266
Maybe this will
open your mouth, huh?
290
00:15:00,400 --> 00:15:02,101
- It's a little kiss of mercy!
- (grunts)
291
00:15:02,235 --> 00:15:05,606
Yeah, that'll make you
wide-mouthed, won't it, boy?
292
00:15:05,739 --> 00:15:07,473
- Whoo!
- CRAZY: Ow!
293
00:15:07,608 --> 00:15:09,676
You gonna feel this one, boy!
You gonna...
294
00:15:12,311 --> 00:15:14,046
Do not hit that boy.
295
00:15:14,180 --> 00:15:16,949
- You understand?
- (chuckles softly)
296
00:15:17,083 --> 00:15:19,452
- I think you're making a mistake.
- Yeah?
297
00:15:19,586 --> 00:15:23,791
And you, you don't have
any authority here.
298
00:15:24,892 --> 00:15:27,393
It's my class. My rules apply.
299
00:15:27,528 --> 00:15:30,396
Actually, it's 9:20.
300
00:15:30,531 --> 00:15:34,434
These boys are due
in my classroom at 9 a.m.
301
00:15:34,568 --> 00:15:37,437
Do not release them tardy again.
302
00:15:39,038 --> 00:15:42,442
See... See, those are my rules.
303
00:15:42,576 --> 00:15:43,644
All right?
304
00:15:44,912 --> 00:15:47,447
Let's go, gentlemen, right now.
305
00:15:47,581 --> 00:15:49,550
Let's go. Come on.
306
00:15:49,683 --> 00:15:54,253
My name's Harvey Nual Russell.
But you can call me Mr. Russell.
307
00:15:54,387 --> 00:15:57,290
I grew up in Fredonia, Texas,
308
00:15:57,423 --> 00:16:00,493
and my father farmed
and he drank.
309
00:16:00,627 --> 00:16:03,831
He's a better drinker
than he was a farmer.
310
00:16:03,963 --> 00:16:05,498
Life's difficult,
311
00:16:05,632 --> 00:16:07,701
hard work leads
to great beginnings,
312
00:16:07,835 --> 00:16:10,604
knowledge is power,
and education...
313
00:16:13,105 --> 00:16:15,041
Boys, that's the key.
314
00:16:15,174 --> 00:16:17,544
So let's begin with a question.
315
00:16:17,678 --> 00:16:21,815
You got four apples
and they're setting in a basket,
316
00:16:21,949 --> 00:16:24,317
and you gotta feed 16 people.
317
00:16:24,450 --> 00:16:27,821
How many baskets do you need?
What do you think?
318
00:16:27,955 --> 00:16:29,756
Any of you.
319
00:16:29,890 --> 00:16:31,123
What about you, young man?
320
00:16:32,693 --> 00:16:35,995
Howdy, sir. My name is
Leon gosh damn Pickett,
321
00:16:36,128 --> 00:16:38,699
and honestly I think
the answer's none.
322
00:16:38,832 --> 00:16:40,868
Make everybody bring
their own damn apples.
323
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:43,670
- (boys laughing)
- Rusty: Incorrect.
324
00:16:43,804 --> 00:16:46,072
And I don't appreciate
the swearing, Mr. Pickett.
325
00:16:46,205 --> 00:16:47,508
- Sit down.
- Yes, sir. Thank you.
326
00:16:47,641 --> 00:16:49,510
Take your hat off. You too.
327
00:16:49,643 --> 00:16:52,713
Get your head up off the desk.
Get your hand out of your head.
328
00:16:52,846 --> 00:16:54,380
How about you, sir?
329
00:16:56,482 --> 00:16:57,751
Stand up.
330
00:17:01,187 --> 00:17:03,891
- I-I-I'm not sure, s-s-sir.
- (chuckles)
331
00:17:04,023 --> 00:17:06,560
Four into 16.
332
00:17:06,693 --> 00:17:08,127
What do you think?
333
00:17:09,195 --> 00:17:11,532
It's all right. Sit down.
334
00:17:11,665 --> 00:17:12,900
(scoffs)
335
00:17:17,771 --> 00:17:19,673
Mr. Brown, what do you say?
336
00:17:19,806 --> 00:17:21,407
Four into 16.
337
00:17:25,478 --> 00:17:27,514
- Four.
- Four.
338
00:17:27,648 --> 00:17:29,917
He's correct.
Come on up to the board.
339
00:17:30,049 --> 00:17:33,085
Show everyone how you figured
that out. Come on up, son.
340
00:17:35,822 --> 00:17:37,858
Go ahead. Just write it out.
341
00:17:37,991 --> 00:17:40,928
♫ ♫
342
00:17:41,060 --> 00:17:42,428
There you go.
343
00:17:47,668 --> 00:17:49,937
It's okay. Just show them
how you figured it out.
344
00:17:50,069 --> 00:17:51,572
It's all right, son.
345
00:17:52,639 --> 00:17:54,608
You're the teacher.
346
00:17:54,741 --> 00:17:56,175
Figure it out yourself.
347
00:17:57,511 --> 00:17:58,779
- (whistles)
- Ooh!
348
00:17:58,912 --> 00:18:02,281
(boys murmuring, exclaiming)
349
00:18:02,415 --> 00:18:05,351
It's all right. We'll get to it.
350
00:18:05,484 --> 00:18:08,454
Now, who of you
has played football before?
351
00:18:12,793 --> 00:18:16,830
How many of you actually held
a football before today?
352
00:18:16,964 --> 00:18:19,465
Least we don't
have to start from scratch.
353
00:18:23,235 --> 00:18:25,606
Doc, where are their shoes at?
354
00:18:25,739 --> 00:18:27,473
Well, sir,
we have two seasons here,
355
00:18:27,608 --> 00:18:29,910
one with shoes
and one without shoes.
356
00:18:30,043 --> 00:18:32,512
This here is
the without shoes season.
357
00:18:32,646 --> 00:18:34,246
You need shoes to play football.
358
00:18:34,380 --> 00:18:36,950
And helmets
and pads and jerseys.
359
00:18:37,084 --> 00:18:39,218
But you do have players.
360
00:18:39,352 --> 00:18:41,220
- (whispers) Optimism.
- Right.
361
00:18:41,354 --> 00:18:44,357
Okay, boys, one step at a time.
362
00:18:44,490 --> 00:18:47,094
Now, the more mass
an object has,
363
00:18:47,226 --> 00:18:48,996
the greater its kinetic energy.
364
00:18:49,128 --> 00:18:50,764
Now, DeWitt's energy,
365
00:18:50,897 --> 00:18:53,100
it's clearly greater
than old Snoggs over here
366
00:18:53,232 --> 00:18:54,835
because Snoggs
is a little smaller.
367
00:18:54,968 --> 00:18:57,336
Snoggs' velocity
can be reached quicker,
368
00:18:57,470 --> 00:19:00,206
and he can maneuver it to divert
and transfer that energy
369
00:19:00,339 --> 00:19:01,942
in another direction, faster.
370
00:19:02,075 --> 00:19:04,143
Get down
in defensive stance for me.
371
00:19:04,276 --> 00:19:06,145
Notice your opponent's knuckles.
372
00:19:06,278 --> 00:19:08,682
If they're white,
he's leaning too far forward.
373
00:19:08,815 --> 00:19:11,150
You throw him off his feet.
Balance is key.
374
00:19:11,283 --> 00:19:13,787
All right, let's line up.
Eight-on-eight, right down here.
375
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:15,454
Doc:
Choose a partner, one-on-one.
376
00:19:15,589 --> 00:19:16,489
Rusty:
On one.
377
00:19:18,125 --> 00:19:19,526
Ready!
378
00:19:19,660 --> 00:19:20,560
Set!
379
00:19:20,694 --> 00:19:21,695
Hike!
380
00:19:25,666 --> 00:19:27,768
Doc:
When you hear the word "hike,"
381
00:19:27,901 --> 00:19:30,137
that means the ball
has been centered
382
00:19:30,269 --> 00:19:32,072
and play may commence.
383
00:19:35,274 --> 00:19:39,445
Ready! Set! Hike!
384
00:19:42,516 --> 00:19:45,418
Rusty: Come on, boys.
You gotta use leverage.
385
00:19:45,552 --> 00:19:47,020
Drive with your lower body.
386
00:19:47,154 --> 00:19:49,856
You can't wrap up and put
your opponent in a headlock.
387
00:19:49,990 --> 00:19:51,892
Looks like
an Arthur Murray dance class.
388
00:19:52,025 --> 00:19:54,460
- It ain't funny.
- And it ain't funny!
389
00:19:54,594 --> 00:19:57,396
♫ ♫
390
00:20:01,535 --> 00:20:02,602
- (grunts)
- (yells)
391
00:20:07,040 --> 00:20:08,909
(both groan)
392
00:20:09,042 --> 00:20:10,242
Whoo!
393
00:20:11,678 --> 00:20:12,879
What the hell, Hardy?
394
00:20:14,114 --> 00:20:15,982
- (boys exclaim)
- Whoa!
395
00:20:16,116 --> 00:20:19,119
- Should've been quicker.
- You all right? You okay?
396
00:20:19,251 --> 00:20:22,856
- Rusty: Hey, check him out.
- I'm here. Don't move, Scott.
397
00:20:22,989 --> 00:20:25,559
- You just got your bell rung.
- Now, here's what's gonna happen.
398
00:20:25,692 --> 00:20:29,563
Mr. Brown gonna run
to the water tower and back
399
00:20:29,696 --> 00:20:32,364
till I say stop or you drop.
400
00:20:33,499 --> 00:20:34,534
- You got it?
- Yeah.
401
00:20:34,668 --> 00:20:36,036
What?
402
00:20:36,169 --> 00:20:37,971
- Yes, sir.
- That's right.
403
00:20:38,105 --> 00:20:40,339
- Now, hit it.
- Move.
404
00:20:42,475 --> 00:20:45,045
(boys laughing,
chattering indistinctly)
405
00:20:45,178 --> 00:20:46,580
God dog.
406
00:20:46,713 --> 00:20:48,314
Sumbitch is still running.
407
00:20:48,447 --> 00:20:50,117
Toughest old mule I ever saw.
408
00:20:50,249 --> 00:20:52,152
- He ain't so tough.
- If he ain't tough,
409
00:20:52,284 --> 00:20:53,587
then you're a little flower,
410
00:20:53,720 --> 00:20:56,022
because he tossed you
around like a rag doll.
411
00:20:59,425 --> 00:21:00,961
My old man used to say
412
00:21:01,094 --> 00:21:03,096
the best horses
are always the hardest to break.
413
00:21:03,230 --> 00:21:04,430
Yeah.
414
00:21:04,564 --> 00:21:06,900
Every horse wants to be ridden.
415
00:21:07,033 --> 00:21:09,736
Some are just particular
about when and how.
416
00:21:09,870 --> 00:21:10,937
I'll drink to that.
417
00:21:12,672 --> 00:21:14,273
- Here you go.
- No, no.
418
00:21:14,406 --> 00:21:17,443
- Juanita'd have my hide.
- (chuckles)
419
00:21:17,577 --> 00:21:19,813
Funny the things
you miss about a woman.
420
00:21:19,946 --> 00:21:22,916
- Even the henpecking, no offense.
- You ever been married, Doc?
421
00:21:24,651 --> 00:21:25,852
Yes, sir.
422
00:21:28,121 --> 00:21:29,421
Agnes.
423
00:21:31,390 --> 00:21:33,660
Lost her and the baby
in childbirth.
424
00:21:33,794 --> 00:21:34,961
Long time ago.
425
00:21:36,462 --> 00:21:38,765
These kids are my family now.
426
00:21:38,899 --> 00:21:42,102
Kind of strange, because
that's what she always wanted.
427
00:21:42,235 --> 00:21:43,970
Lots of kids.
428
00:21:44,104 --> 00:21:46,506
I'm sorry, Doc.
I didn't know that.
429
00:21:46,640 --> 00:21:48,942
I know these boys
think the world of you.
430
00:21:49,075 --> 00:21:50,844
That's for sure.
431
00:21:50,977 --> 00:21:52,946
It true you don't take
a paycheck up here?
432
00:21:53,079 --> 00:21:55,115
I don't know
where you heard that story.
433
00:21:55,248 --> 00:21:56,950
- Is that true?
- Well, sir,
434
00:21:57,083 --> 00:21:59,853
I know damn well you're
not here for the do-re-mi.
435
00:21:59,986 --> 00:22:03,489
BOTH: ♪ You ain't got The
do-re-mi, boy ♪
436
00:22:03,623 --> 00:22:05,324
♪ If you ain't got
That do-re-mi... ♪
437
00:22:05,457 --> 00:22:08,061
(Hardy yells, gasps)
438
00:22:08,195 --> 00:22:11,031
Think you might be
too hard on that boy?
439
00:22:11,164 --> 00:22:12,632
I'll go check on him.
440
00:22:14,768 --> 00:22:15,969
- That's enough.
- (grunts)
441
00:22:16,102 --> 00:22:17,304
Hardy.
442
00:22:21,541 --> 00:22:24,144
Now, look, I understand
that you don't want to be here,
443
00:22:24,277 --> 00:22:26,179
and I get that you're angry,
444
00:22:26,313 --> 00:22:28,515
but I want you to know
something. Look at me.
445
00:22:29,616 --> 00:22:31,383
I'm here for you, son.
446
00:22:31,518 --> 00:22:33,053
I'm not your son.
447
00:22:33,186 --> 00:22:35,622
Look, you can make me play
this little game of yours.
448
00:22:35,755 --> 00:22:37,356
Don't mean I gotta like you.
449
00:22:37,489 --> 00:22:39,326
(panting)
450
00:22:39,458 --> 00:22:41,561
We done here, coach?
451
00:22:41,695 --> 00:22:42,829
Go ahead.
452
00:22:47,100 --> 00:22:51,705
Every second that they're on
the field, we're losing money.
453
00:22:51,838 --> 00:22:54,341
You make it sound like we're
running a damn assembly line.
454
00:22:54,473 --> 00:22:56,343
- Yeah, well...
- Just ease up
455
00:22:56,475 --> 00:22:58,111
on any new printing jobs
456
00:22:58,245 --> 00:23:00,080
till I figure
this football program out.
457
00:23:00,213 --> 00:23:02,315
- Oh, Bill.
- Hey, new rules,
458
00:23:02,448 --> 00:23:04,317
page 24, section C.
459
00:23:04,450 --> 00:23:06,485
It's gonna be real tough
to field a team
460
00:23:06,620 --> 00:23:08,454
if most of these boys
aren't able to pass
461
00:23:08,588 --> 00:23:11,024
- their standardized test.
- Section C?
462
00:23:11,157 --> 00:23:13,193
- Mm-hm.
- Rusty: Watch where you're going.
463
00:23:13,326 --> 00:23:15,061
- Just keep it moving.
- Speak of the devil.
464
00:23:15,195 --> 00:23:16,830
- Rusty: To Mrs. Russell's room.
- Mr. Russell?
465
00:23:16,963 --> 00:23:18,665
Y'all should be
on opposite sides.
466
00:23:18,798 --> 00:23:21,001
- Yes, sir?
- The Interscholastic League
467
00:23:21,134 --> 00:23:23,637
has agreed to hear
your request for admittance.
468
00:23:23,770 --> 00:23:25,972
Oh, that's great news.
I'm happy to hear that.
469
00:23:26,106 --> 00:23:28,474
However, new rules state
470
00:23:28,608 --> 00:23:32,545
that all players are required
to take a basic aptitude test.
471
00:23:32,679 --> 00:23:35,282
- All right.
- Rules are rules.
472
00:23:35,414 --> 00:23:40,120
Shame to come all this way and
not even be able to play ball.
473
00:23:40,253 --> 00:23:42,222
Page 24, section C.
474
00:23:42,355 --> 00:23:44,758
Oh, thank you.
475
00:23:44,891 --> 00:23:46,326
You take that with you
476
00:23:46,458 --> 00:23:48,427
and let me know
if you have any questions.
477
00:23:48,561 --> 00:23:50,429
- All right, then.
- Thank you for your time.
478
00:23:52,599 --> 00:23:55,402
The sensational struggle
for existence.
479
00:23:55,535 --> 00:23:59,239
The result of this is
the formation of a new species,
480
00:23:59,372 --> 00:24:02,776
perhaps known as the
great orphan football player.
481
00:24:02,909 --> 00:24:04,311
I kind of like that.
482
00:24:04,443 --> 00:24:06,246
It's science, gentlemen,
it's evolution,
483
00:24:06,379 --> 00:24:08,148
and it's happening
all around us.
484
00:24:08,281 --> 00:24:10,283
William,
I do appreciate your time.
485
00:24:10,417 --> 00:24:11,985
Frank, it's always good
to see you.
486
00:24:12,118 --> 00:24:14,521
I'm gonna get on to class.
Thanks for the notebook.
487
00:24:14,654 --> 00:24:17,157
♫ ♫
488
00:24:20,961 --> 00:24:24,931
The survival of those who are
better equipped for surviving.
489
00:24:25,065 --> 00:24:28,201
Some are heritable traits.
That means they're inherited.
490
00:24:28,335 --> 00:24:30,870
Others are learned.
That means you learn them.
491
00:24:31,004 --> 00:24:33,273
"Those," "these,"
"there," "that."
492
00:24:33,406 --> 00:24:37,277
ALL: "Those," "these,"
"there," "that."
493
00:24:37,410 --> 00:24:39,179
Rusty: But our focus
will be on learning
494
00:24:39,312 --> 00:24:42,282
through intense practice
through repetition,
495
00:24:42,415 --> 00:24:44,284
so that we can pass
this test together.
496
00:24:44,417 --> 00:24:46,386
Doc:
Fumble!
497
00:24:47,821 --> 00:24:50,123
Come on, coach,
that's horseshit.
498
00:24:50,256 --> 00:24:51,458
Horse excrement.
499
00:24:51,591 --> 00:24:53,693
I've never seen
a more chaotic clamber
500
00:24:53,827 --> 00:24:55,328
for a football
in my entire life!
501
00:24:55,462 --> 00:24:58,231
Most boys your age could
pass this test blindfolded,
502
00:24:58,365 --> 00:25:00,200
but you're not most boys,
are you?
503
00:25:00,333 --> 00:25:03,069
- Rusty: You need to focus.
- They had the fundamental idea.
504
00:25:03,203 --> 00:25:04,671
- Are you kidding? Come on.
- No, sir.
505
00:25:04,804 --> 00:25:07,474
You're better than most boys.
You're unique.
506
00:25:07,607 --> 00:25:11,177
You've dealt with hardship.
Now you got something to prove,
507
00:25:11,311 --> 00:25:13,313
- and that's called motivation.
- (juanita clears throat)
508
00:25:13,446 --> 00:25:15,382
Is this test
gonna cover female parts?
509
00:25:15,515 --> 00:25:18,385
Because I'm looking to get
a little hands-on practice,
510
00:25:18,518 --> 00:25:21,654
- you know, sharpen my skills.
- (boys laughing)
511
00:25:21,788 --> 00:25:24,724
No, Snoggs,
unfortunately for you, it won't.
512
00:25:24,858 --> 00:25:26,559
But the examination will cover
513
00:25:26,693 --> 00:25:28,595
reading, writing,
science and arithmetic.
514
00:25:28,728 --> 00:25:30,230
Arithme-what?
515
00:25:30,363 --> 00:25:34,100
- Does that mean we gotta dance?
- Coach, I-I don't dance.
516
00:25:34,234 --> 00:25:37,470
Everything that's donated
to the home goes down here.
517
00:25:37,604 --> 00:25:39,539
Rusty: All right, boys,
this is from Dutch Meyer,
518
00:25:39,672 --> 00:25:41,975
Texas Christian University
athletic department.
519
00:25:42,108 --> 00:25:43,943
Shoulder pads,
helmets and cleats.
520
00:25:44,077 --> 00:25:46,713
Find cleats that fit you.
Don't want you getting blisters.
521
00:25:46,846 --> 00:25:49,082
I'm gonna teach you
how to become ladies.
522
00:25:49,215 --> 00:25:51,051
Come on, it'll be fun.
Heh-heh!
523
00:25:51,184 --> 00:25:53,386
- Yes! Yeah!
- (engine rumbling)
524
00:25:53,521 --> 00:25:54,754
Doc:
What I tell you?
525
00:25:54,888 --> 00:25:56,022
What's that?
526
00:25:56,156 --> 00:25:57,057
- "Tie-on."
- (boys laugh)
527
00:25:57,190 --> 00:25:58,758
What do you think, coach?
528
00:25:58,892 --> 00:26:00,060
I think it looks good.
529
00:26:00,193 --> 00:26:01,594
You got those on
backwards, Chicken.
530
00:26:01,728 --> 00:26:04,597
- Is a dozen six or 12?
- I don't know.
531
00:26:06,866 --> 00:26:09,335
- "Block"?
- That's right, Leon.
532
00:26:09,469 --> 00:26:11,371
- Thank you, sir.
- Twenty percent off next time.
533
00:26:11,505 --> 00:26:13,273
Good doing business with you.
Ha!
534
00:26:13,406 --> 00:26:15,608
Rusty:
That's where all life began,
535
00:26:15,742 --> 00:26:19,112
and I've always found it
particularly fascinating that...
536
00:26:21,047 --> 00:26:22,082
Damn it, boys!
537
00:26:24,017 --> 00:26:25,553
All right, that's good.
538
00:26:26,653 --> 00:26:28,021
(boy whistles)
539
00:26:28,154 --> 00:26:30,056
"Wild Saddle"?
540
00:26:30,190 --> 00:26:31,391
"Men's Club"?
541
00:26:31,525 --> 00:26:33,493
We're not here
to practice our reading!
542
00:26:33,626 --> 00:26:35,495
Get to work! Now!
543
00:26:35,628 --> 00:26:39,399
Miller: Mr. Russell,
you forgot the final valence electron.
544
00:26:39,533 --> 00:26:41,535
You're right. Thank you.
545
00:26:43,504 --> 00:26:47,607
You don't pass the test,
you don't play football.
546
00:26:47,740 --> 00:26:50,578
So let's buck up
and let's bear down
547
00:26:50,710 --> 00:26:52,445
and let's get back to work.
548
00:26:52,580 --> 00:26:55,482
♫ ♫
549
00:26:58,251 --> 00:26:59,587
Two minutes.
550
00:27:06,092 --> 00:27:07,160
(snaps)
551
00:27:07,293 --> 00:27:09,262
- Time.
- BILL: Pencils down.
552
00:27:13,133 --> 00:27:15,969
Proctor: You'll have your
results on Wednesday.
553
00:27:17,770 --> 00:27:20,173
Stack them neatly.
554
00:27:20,306 --> 00:27:21,474
Thank you.
555
00:27:27,213 --> 00:27:29,115
(crickets chirping)
556
00:27:39,792 --> 00:27:41,629
It's a good field.
557
00:27:43,963 --> 00:27:49,135
Well, I don't know if you can
technically call it a field.
558
00:27:49,269 --> 00:27:51,539
Well, it doesn't
have to be fancy
559
00:27:51,671 --> 00:27:53,406
to know what it represents.
560
00:27:53,541 --> 00:27:55,008
(softly)
Yeah.
561
00:27:58,444 --> 00:28:01,447
Even if those boys don't pass,
562
00:28:01,582 --> 00:28:04,250
we have a purpose here
that's greater than football.
563
00:28:07,521 --> 00:28:12,058
I ever tell you how attractive
you are when you're optimistic?
564
00:28:12,192 --> 00:28:14,360
No, I don't believe you have.
565
00:28:17,430 --> 00:28:18,632
Well...
566
00:28:19,899 --> 00:28:21,669
maybe one day I will.
567
00:28:21,801 --> 00:28:24,538
- Oh, Rusty.
- Hey.
568
00:28:24,672 --> 00:28:26,272
(laughs)
569
00:28:33,346 --> 00:28:34,582
Hike!
570
00:28:35,982 --> 00:28:37,417
Doc:
Whoa! Hold on!
571
00:28:37,551 --> 00:28:40,554
There's a penalty here!
Carlos, you may not trip anyone!
572
00:28:40,688 --> 00:28:42,590
(speaks in Spanish)
573
00:28:42,722 --> 00:28:45,225
That's 15-yard penalty
against the defense.
574
00:28:45,358 --> 00:28:47,528
- Let's move it back.
- They only take the young ones.
575
00:28:47,661 --> 00:28:50,930
Be good, all right? Take care
of your new mom and dad.
576
00:28:55,501 --> 00:28:57,971
I'm sure you boys
are all chomping at the bit
577
00:28:58,104 --> 00:28:59,739
to hear about your test results.
578
00:28:59,872 --> 00:29:03,409
Miraculously,
some of you pulled it off.
579
00:29:03,544 --> 00:29:07,747
Scott, Hal, Jerry, Daniel,
step forward.
580
00:29:13,052 --> 00:29:16,389
I'm sorry, boys. Didn't pass.
Better luck next time.
581
00:29:16,523 --> 00:29:19,125
Which means the remaining
of you can play ball.
582
00:29:19,259 --> 00:29:23,896
That is, if Mr. Russell gets you
all accepted into the district.
583
00:29:24,030 --> 00:29:26,567
Rusty: Natural selection
seems to have reduced our team
584
00:29:26,700 --> 00:29:28,334
to only 12 players.
585
00:29:28,468 --> 00:29:31,605
So let's consider that
high-level evolutionary fitness
586
00:29:31,739 --> 00:29:33,973
will allow us to play both ways.
587
00:29:34,107 --> 00:29:35,975
Leon, you and Chicken
588
00:29:36,109 --> 00:29:38,244
gotta be ready to rotate in
at various positions.
589
00:29:38,378 --> 00:29:40,446
Y'all think you can do that?
590
00:29:40,581 --> 00:29:42,315
It sounds like
they're a lesser species.
591
00:29:42,448 --> 00:29:43,816
I should be the first string.
592
00:29:43,950 --> 00:29:46,252
I'm the fittest sumbitch
out here.
593
00:29:49,322 --> 00:29:51,391
Pickett, you know
that was our only football?
594
00:29:51,525 --> 00:29:54,360
- Sorry, coach.
- All right, now hit the tower.
595
00:29:54,494 --> 00:29:56,597
- Let's go. Hustle!
- (boys grumbling)
596
00:29:56,730 --> 00:29:59,332
They wear on me sometimes.
I gotta be honest with you.
597
00:29:59,465 --> 00:30:01,568
At least one good thing
came out of all that.
598
00:30:01,702 --> 00:30:04,571
- What's that?
- We got ourselves a punter.
599
00:30:04,705 --> 00:30:07,140
That's true.
Can you stitch that thing up?
600
00:30:07,273 --> 00:30:09,108
I'm not a veterinarian,
but I'll try.
601
00:30:09,242 --> 00:30:10,511
- Let me get it.
- All right.
602
00:30:10,644 --> 00:30:12,178
(chuckles)
603
00:30:18,918 --> 00:30:21,120
Juanita:
Well, girls, I hope this works.
604
00:30:22,723 --> 00:30:24,525
- Morning.
- Juanita: Morning.
605
00:30:29,362 --> 00:30:30,463
What's this?
606
00:30:30,597 --> 00:30:31,964
- It's your new football.
- (chuckles)
607
00:30:32,098 --> 00:30:33,701
Is that right?
608
00:30:33,833 --> 00:30:35,602
We're making two,
in case you pop one.
609
00:30:35,736 --> 00:30:38,505
Very fitting for
these trying times. I like it.
610
00:30:39,740 --> 00:30:40,840
Scoot over.
611
00:30:44,010 --> 00:30:45,746
What's that?
A science experiment?
612
00:30:45,878 --> 00:30:47,548
Rusty:
That's right, Snoggs,
613
00:30:47,681 --> 00:30:50,651
to see who wants to play
and earn a real ball.
614
00:30:50,784 --> 00:30:53,886
If you don't want it, ain't
no use in us being out here,
615
00:30:54,020 --> 00:30:56,255
sweating like
a bunch of dirt farmers.
616
00:30:59,859 --> 00:31:01,327
Practice over already?
617
00:31:01,461 --> 00:31:03,731
I don't know, Doc.
It's up to them.
618
00:31:03,863 --> 00:31:07,300
Six-on-six. Miller, A.P.,
Fairbanks, Snoggs, DeWitt,
619
00:31:07,433 --> 00:31:09,335
you're with me,
and I'm playing tailback.
620
00:31:09,469 --> 00:31:12,338
- Why you get to play tailback?
- Because I'm tall and handsome.
621
00:31:14,173 --> 00:31:16,175
I like your hands-on approach.
622
00:31:16,309 --> 00:31:18,111
In my business,
we call it scouting.
623
00:31:18,244 --> 00:31:21,849
We get the ball first.
Losers steal the grape juice.
624
00:31:21,981 --> 00:31:24,016
Doc: I'll be damned if
Wheatie doesn't look
625
00:31:24,150 --> 00:31:26,520
- like a genuine leader.
- Set. Hike! Oh!
626
00:31:26,653 --> 00:31:28,689
(Doc laughing)
627
00:31:31,057 --> 00:31:32,793
- Lineman, maybe?
- I think you're getting
628
00:31:32,925 --> 00:31:34,127
this scouting thing down.
629
00:31:34,260 --> 00:31:35,829
Hike!
630
00:31:35,962 --> 00:31:37,765
- Rusty: All right.
- Doc: There's a runner!
631
00:31:37,897 --> 00:31:42,402
Talent in each of these boys.
It's our job to find it.
632
00:31:42,536 --> 00:31:44,805
- Think you're up to the task?
- What?
633
00:31:44,937 --> 00:31:48,542
I mean I need you to have
your wits about you, Doc.
634
00:31:48,675 --> 00:31:51,110
Don't you worry about me.
635
00:31:51,244 --> 00:31:53,781
You know you're supposed
to tackle him, right?
636
00:31:55,649 --> 00:31:57,016
Hike!
637
00:32:01,555 --> 00:32:02,623
Oh, my.
638
00:32:02,756 --> 00:32:04,090
(gasping)
639
00:32:06,894 --> 00:32:08,461
- Oh!
- Doc: Are you all right?
640
00:32:08,595 --> 00:32:10,963
It's just flour.
We can wash it out. Hang on.
641
00:32:11,097 --> 00:32:13,132
Just get back to the game, boys.
642
00:32:13,266 --> 00:32:16,169
We can't. Hardy busted the ball.
643
00:32:16,302 --> 00:32:19,338
Well, don't just stand around
scratching your nuts.
644
00:32:19,472 --> 00:32:21,775
Go on, hit the tower,
all of you, pronto!
645
00:32:23,677 --> 00:32:24,645
Rusty:
I'm sorry.
646
00:32:24,778 --> 00:32:26,479
Sorry?
647
00:32:26,613 --> 00:32:29,616
No, I'm fine, Doc.
I'm okay. I'm fine.
648
00:32:29,750 --> 00:32:31,184
(clearing throat)
649
00:32:31,317 --> 00:32:34,253
♫ ♫
650
00:32:38,224 --> 00:32:40,326
(thunder rumbling)
651
00:32:43,196 --> 00:32:46,165
George:
Rusty, look at me. You're fine.
652
00:32:46,299 --> 00:32:48,836
(bomb whistles, explodes)
653
00:32:48,968 --> 00:32:50,537
Hey, it's time.
654
00:32:51,905 --> 00:32:54,508
We've got to spread out.
655
00:32:54,641 --> 00:32:56,275
Rusty:
George!
656
00:32:56,409 --> 00:32:57,678
Guys!
657
00:32:58,745 --> 00:33:00,379
Stay with me, George.
658
00:33:05,284 --> 00:33:07,821
Doc: I'm just hoping we
got a quorum of coaches.
659
00:33:07,955 --> 00:33:10,089
Rusty: Once we get in there,
let me handle it, Doc.
660
00:33:10,223 --> 00:33:11,925
- How you feeling?
- I'm good, thank you.
661
00:33:12,058 --> 00:33:13,259
Rusty:
This'll go great.
662
00:33:13,392 --> 00:33:15,696
- Rusty Russell.
- Luther Scarborough.
663
00:33:15,829 --> 00:33:18,799
I heard you took a charity post
over at the orphanage.
664
00:33:18,932 --> 00:33:22,335
I thought, surely I must be
mistaken, but here you are.
665
00:33:22,468 --> 00:33:26,105
Luther, good to see you. Been
since the '35 playoffs, right?
666
00:33:26,239 --> 00:33:28,809
- It was a close game.
- Tough loss. For you.
667
00:33:28,942 --> 00:33:30,711
- You did a good job down there.
- (laughs)
668
00:33:30,844 --> 00:33:32,211
Yeah, it got me one of these.
669
00:33:32,345 --> 00:33:35,181
Oh, that's nice.
Is that, what, topaz?
670
00:33:35,314 --> 00:33:40,988
Apparently, you boys are filing
a request to join my district.
671
00:33:41,120 --> 00:33:43,690
That's correct, and I better
get in there. Good to see you.
672
00:33:43,824 --> 00:33:45,124
(chuckles)
673
00:33:45,258 --> 00:33:46,793
Orphan football.
674
00:33:48,996 --> 00:33:51,732
That's as dumb
as letting women vote.
675
00:33:51,865 --> 00:33:54,701
Rusty: It's my belief that if
we show faith in these boys,
676
00:33:54,835 --> 00:33:58,739
they'll prove themselves, much
as David did against Goliath.
677
00:33:58,872 --> 00:34:01,307
All I ask is that you give
these boys a chance
678
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:04,912
- a chance to compete.
- The Interscholastic League
679
00:34:05,044 --> 00:34:07,915
requires a minimum enrollment
of 500 students
680
00:34:08,047 --> 00:34:09,883
to compete in Class A football.
681
00:34:10,017 --> 00:34:15,421
Your home has only 150 children.
Your football team has only 12.
682
00:34:15,556 --> 00:34:19,091
- That's right, 12.
- Motion is denied.
683
00:34:19,225 --> 00:34:21,427
All right, let's get back
to why we're here today.
684
00:34:21,562 --> 00:34:23,362
Excuse me, Mr. Chairman.
685
00:34:23,496 --> 00:34:25,032
I would like to request
686
00:34:25,164 --> 00:34:27,466
a clarification
from the committee, if I may.
687
00:34:27,601 --> 00:34:29,803
- And you are?
- I'm Dr. E.P. Hall.
688
00:34:29,937 --> 00:34:33,072
I'm the Masonic Homes physician
as well as the team medic.
689
00:34:33,205 --> 00:34:34,340
He's the assistant.
690
00:34:34,473 --> 00:34:36,043
He's a drunk.
691
00:34:36,175 --> 00:34:37,711
Rodney:
You're an assistant medic?
692
00:34:37,844 --> 00:34:40,379
Assistant coach.
He's the head of the defense.
693
00:34:43,016 --> 00:34:45,586
Mr. Hall, do you or do you not
have something to address?
694
00:34:45,719 --> 00:34:48,021
Yes, sir, indeed I do.
If I may,
695
00:34:48,154 --> 00:34:51,157
I would like to direct
your attention to page 27,
696
00:34:51,290 --> 00:34:55,294
paragraph two of the league rule
book. It states and I quote:
697
00:34:55,428 --> 00:34:57,263
"Any school that does not meet
698
00:34:57,396 --> 00:34:59,967
the minimum enrollment
of 500 students
699
00:35:00,099 --> 00:35:01,935
can be admitted
with a majority vote
700
00:35:02,069 --> 00:35:05,539
of the coaches in
the school's division," Unquote.
701
00:35:05,672 --> 00:35:09,275
Now, sir, I am a firm believer
in doing things by the book,
702
00:35:09,408 --> 00:35:11,612
which in this case,
Chairman Kidd,
703
00:35:11,745 --> 00:35:15,649
I do believe that you
participated in its authorship.
704
00:35:15,782 --> 00:35:18,417
- Am I in the right?
- That's a...
705
00:35:18,552 --> 00:35:21,088
That's a good job, doctor.
Indeed, I did.
706
00:35:21,220 --> 00:35:23,690
Accordingly, sir,
I would like to suggest
707
00:35:23,824 --> 00:35:26,927
that all of the coaches
here from Division A
708
00:35:27,060 --> 00:35:30,463
vote on our admittance
and we'll accept the results.
709
00:35:30,597 --> 00:35:32,633
- How'd that be, gentlemen?
- (scoffs)
710
00:35:32,766 --> 00:35:33,967
Good to see all of y'all.
711
00:35:34,101 --> 00:35:35,468
Doc:
Much obliged, Mr. Secretary.
712
00:35:35,602 --> 00:35:36,770
Is this a joke?
713
00:35:36,903 --> 00:35:38,337
Page 27, paragraph two.
714
00:35:38,471 --> 00:35:40,339
Read it and weep, Luther.
715
00:35:40,473 --> 00:35:42,676
(all murmuring)
716
00:35:42,809 --> 00:35:44,945
Well, hell, let's vote.
717
00:35:45,078 --> 00:35:48,815
As requested from our doctor,
assistant medic,
718
00:35:48,949 --> 00:35:50,984
all those in favor,
raise your hand.
719
00:35:51,118 --> 00:35:53,720
- (country music plays on radio)
- (whistles)
720
00:35:58,491 --> 00:35:59,626
(sighs)
721
00:36:01,160 --> 00:36:02,829
Hey, guys, they're back.
722
00:36:04,463 --> 00:36:05,498
They don't look happy.
723
00:36:05,632 --> 00:36:07,333
Doc doesn't have his whiskey.
724
00:36:07,466 --> 00:36:10,302
Y'all are expecting someone
to do something in favor of us?
725
00:36:10,436 --> 00:36:11,872
- It ain't gonna happen.
- Hey.
726
00:36:12,005 --> 00:36:14,541
Why you always gotta be
such a downer, Hardy?
727
00:36:14,675 --> 00:36:16,610
I'm just trying
to tell y'all how it is.
728
00:36:16,743 --> 00:36:18,310
No one cares about us.
729
00:36:22,149 --> 00:36:23,550
How you doing, boys?
730
00:36:23,684 --> 00:36:26,153
Just go on, say it.
731
00:36:26,285 --> 00:36:28,155
We didn't get in.
732
00:36:28,287 --> 00:36:29,355
Go ahead.
733
00:36:31,190 --> 00:36:32,993
(clears throat)
734
00:36:33,126 --> 00:36:34,226
Well, sir...
735
00:36:36,897 --> 00:36:38,464
- I can't do it.
- What?
736
00:36:38,598 --> 00:36:40,967
- You said you wanted to do it.
- I said I might do it.
737
00:36:41,101 --> 00:36:42,869
You told me
you were the elder statesman.
738
00:36:43,003 --> 00:36:45,237
- You're the head coach.
- All right, I'm just gonna
739
00:36:45,371 --> 00:36:47,541
go ahead and tell it
to you straight, boys.
740
00:36:48,842 --> 00:36:50,309
Bad news is...
741
00:36:52,179 --> 00:36:55,782
each one of you is gonna need
to put on about 10 pounds
742
00:36:55,916 --> 00:36:57,249
because y'all gonna be playing
743
00:36:57,383 --> 00:36:59,886
Class A
Texas high-school football.
744
00:37:00,020 --> 00:37:01,955
- And I'll see you on the field.
- (all cheer)
745
00:37:02,089 --> 00:37:05,192
Good job, huh? Come on!
746
00:37:05,324 --> 00:37:07,426
- Huh?
- (all clamoring)
747
00:37:08,862 --> 00:37:10,831
Let's us show Poly
and those city boys
748
00:37:10,964 --> 00:37:13,166
- what we're made of!
- (all cheer, exclaiming)
749
00:37:16,803 --> 00:37:18,672
(whistle blows)
750
00:37:18,805 --> 00:37:20,674
ANNOUNCER (over PA): The Poly
Parrots welcome Masonic Home
751
00:37:20,807 --> 00:37:21,942
in their first game ever.
752
00:37:22,075 --> 00:37:23,677
Rusty:
They gotta put their best 11
753
00:37:23,810 --> 00:37:25,045
up against our best 11.
754
00:37:25,178 --> 00:37:26,913
Wheatie:
Their 11 looks a lot bigger.
755
00:37:27,047 --> 00:37:28,882
It's David versus Goliath,
all right.
756
00:37:29,015 --> 00:37:31,218
This is gonna be entertaining.
757
00:37:31,350 --> 00:37:33,486
(vomits, coughs)
758
00:37:33,620 --> 00:37:34,921
Doc:
Chicken, you all right?
759
00:37:36,422 --> 00:37:38,625
I had to use 12-Gauge
baling wire on mine.
760
00:37:38,759 --> 00:37:40,894
Today, we're going up
against a team
761
00:37:41,027 --> 00:37:43,130
that's won
two state championships
762
00:37:43,262 --> 00:37:45,297
in the past five years,
763
00:37:45,431 --> 00:37:48,635
so you got everything to gain
and nothing to lose,
764
00:37:48,769 --> 00:37:49,770
so play that way.
765
00:37:49,903 --> 00:37:51,370
And one more thing.
766
00:37:51,505 --> 00:37:54,074
We win today,
we take home the game ball.
767
00:37:54,207 --> 00:37:55,609
So listen to me.
768
00:37:55,742 --> 00:37:59,079
Hit that field with heart,
focus and conviction,
769
00:37:59,212 --> 00:38:01,948
and you will see good results.
Let's get it done.
770
00:38:02,082 --> 00:38:03,517
(players applauding)
771
00:38:03,650 --> 00:38:06,787
Bribery. Now, there's
a new motivation.
772
00:38:06,920 --> 00:38:08,955
- To the game ball.
- Let's do it.
773
00:38:09,089 --> 00:38:12,926
POP: Well, Mr. Hawk,
I'm proud you got your football team out.
774
00:38:13,059 --> 00:38:15,394
- Mason: Yeah.
- You only got 12 players.
775
00:38:15,529 --> 00:38:18,064
I mean, most of them
look like horse jockeys.
776
00:38:18,198 --> 00:38:21,400
Y'all got some kind
of weight restriction?
777
00:38:21,535 --> 00:38:24,470
Might as well call them
the Mighty Mites.
778
00:38:24,604 --> 00:38:27,707
- Can I have that?
- You got it. Yeah.
779
00:38:27,841 --> 00:38:29,475
Why not? You're the writer.
780
00:38:29,609 --> 00:38:31,011
(chuckles)
781
00:38:31,144 --> 00:38:32,546
- Pop.
- Hey, Doc.
782
00:38:32,679 --> 00:38:35,015
- Give me a quote after the game.
- I will, for sure.
783
00:38:35,148 --> 00:38:37,951
Mr. Hawk, we're delighted
you're making our first game.
784
00:38:38,084 --> 00:38:39,820
- Good to see you.
- After all the years
785
00:38:39,953 --> 00:38:42,722
and all the talk, we got
a football team, thanks to you.
786
00:38:42,856 --> 00:38:45,324
Thanks to you for bringing
this coach in and his wife.
787
00:38:45,457 --> 00:38:47,627
- How's he doing?
- He's doing remarkable.
788
00:38:47,761 --> 00:38:49,763
You've met Juanita.
They're great teachers,
789
00:38:49,896 --> 00:38:51,430
and he's a great football coach.
790
00:38:51,565 --> 00:38:52,866
We finally got a team.
791
00:38:52,999 --> 00:38:54,868
Finally got a team,
thanks to you.
792
00:38:55,001 --> 00:38:57,469
- No, thanks to you.
- Okay, heh.
793
00:38:57,604 --> 00:39:00,006
Only 12 players
on the Orphan team,
794
00:39:00,140 --> 00:39:01,875
and not one
can push 200 pounds.
795
00:39:02,008 --> 00:39:04,845
Folks, this is gonna
get ugly pretty fast.
796
00:39:04,978 --> 00:39:07,247
Fellas, the visiting team
will call it in the air.
797
00:39:07,379 --> 00:39:09,149
- Masonic Home...
- Orphans.
798
00:39:09,282 --> 00:39:10,684
Orphans, what is your call?
799
00:39:10,817 --> 00:39:12,919
- Heads.
- Heads.
800
00:39:13,053 --> 00:39:14,955
It's tails. Poly?
801
00:39:15,088 --> 00:39:16,656
- We'll receive.
- Poly will receive.
802
00:39:16,790 --> 00:39:18,692
Y'all's parents
couldn't find the stadium?
803
00:39:18,825 --> 00:39:21,161
- (poly players laugh)
- Must be pretty stupid.
804
00:39:21,294 --> 00:39:23,230
- (chuckling)
- (hardy grunts)
805
00:39:23,362 --> 00:39:25,232
A skirmish
as Hardy Brown wallops...
806
00:39:25,364 --> 00:39:27,901
- Come on, Hardy!
- ...Poly captain Percy Maywood.
807
00:39:28,034 --> 00:39:31,571
I wouldn't wanna be
on the wrong side of that kid.
808
00:39:31,705 --> 00:39:33,573
- Who was that?
- Juanita: Hardy Brown.
809
00:39:33,707 --> 00:39:38,078
My daddy says he's
the toughest sumbitch around.
810
00:39:38,211 --> 00:39:40,013
- (laughing)
- We're not supposed to repeat
811
00:39:40,146 --> 00:39:42,448
- what your father says at home.
- Can I quote that?
812
00:39:42,582 --> 00:39:45,819
- Oh, no, sir, please don't.
- We'll use "son of a gun."
813
00:39:45,952 --> 00:39:47,687
That is unnecessary roughness.
814
00:39:47,821 --> 00:39:50,257
Fifteen-yard penalty
will be enforced on the kick.
815
00:39:50,389 --> 00:39:51,725
Hardy, you're out! Come on!
816
00:39:51,858 --> 00:39:53,492
Fairbanks, Wheatie,
get in position.
817
00:39:53,627 --> 00:39:55,095
Chicken, you're in.
818
00:39:55,228 --> 00:39:56,930
Doc:
It'll be all right, son.
819
00:39:57,063 --> 00:39:59,900
Leon, knock one down there.
Keep them inside the 20.
820
00:40:00,033 --> 00:40:01,601
Line up. Come on, boys.
821
00:40:03,370 --> 00:40:05,972
- What are you thinking, son?
- What are you thinking, son?
822
00:40:06,106 --> 00:40:07,040
(whistle blows)
823
00:40:07,173 --> 00:40:09,576
♫ ♫
824
00:40:09,709 --> 00:40:11,611
And the Orphans
pound the ball into the air
825
00:40:11,745 --> 00:40:13,580
as it twists in an ugly spiral,
826
00:40:13,713 --> 00:40:16,149
straight into the hands
of Percy Maywood.
827
00:40:17,317 --> 00:40:18,184
Jesus.
828
00:40:18,318 --> 00:40:20,086
Get him.
829
00:40:20,220 --> 00:40:22,454
To the 40, the 30, the 20.
830
00:40:22,589 --> 00:40:24,958
And Maywood practically
walks in for an easy score.
831
00:40:25,091 --> 00:40:26,559
(crowd cheering)
832
00:40:26,693 --> 00:40:28,595
What was
Coach Russell thinking,
833
00:40:28,728 --> 00:40:30,964
leaving the district champion
Temple Wildcats?
834
00:40:31,097 --> 00:40:32,299
We missed every tackle.
835
00:40:32,431 --> 00:40:34,134
That's all right. Keep going.
836
00:40:34,267 --> 00:40:35,568
I find it embarrassing.
837
00:40:35,702 --> 00:40:37,737
Rusty:
All right, A.P. Good snap, boys.
838
00:40:37,871 --> 00:40:40,439
Seems to me they have
no place on this field.
839
00:40:40,573 --> 00:40:42,275
I hope none of them get hurt.
840
00:40:42,409 --> 00:40:44,344
Fumble! Get the...
841
00:40:44,476 --> 00:40:46,179
...a fumble is
scooped up by Poly
842
00:40:46,313 --> 00:40:47,948
and returned
for a walk-in touchdown.
843
00:40:48,081 --> 00:40:50,884
My Lord, they're not
doing too good, are they?
844
00:40:51,017 --> 00:40:53,386
Stay down in the dirt
where you belong, loser orphan.
845
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:57,123
- Hey, hey, hey, take it easy.
- Hey, Fairbanks, cut that out!
846
00:40:57,257 --> 00:41:00,560
Come on, now, Frank, a little
scrapping builds character.
847
00:41:00,694 --> 00:41:01,895
It's good for the boys.
848
00:41:02,028 --> 00:41:03,863
I don't think it does
after every play.
849
00:41:03,997 --> 00:41:05,865
- My knee feels funny.
- Can you walk it off?
850
00:41:05,999 --> 00:41:08,601
- No, let's have a look.
- Doc, check it out.
851
00:41:08,735 --> 00:41:10,003
DeWitt! Come here.
852
00:41:10,136 --> 00:41:12,872
Cheer up, son!
It's just the first game!
853
00:41:13,006 --> 00:41:15,775
I need you to take 42
and drive him back, son.
854
00:41:15,909 --> 00:41:17,677
- Yes, sir.
- Don't let him drive you back.
855
00:41:17,811 --> 00:41:20,280
Get out there, boy.
Hardy, you're in.
856
00:41:20,413 --> 00:41:22,248
You ready, son?
These boys need you.
857
00:41:22,382 --> 00:41:24,184
Show them what you're made of.
Get out there.
858
00:41:24,317 --> 00:41:26,152
Come on, boys, you got it!
859
00:41:27,554 --> 00:41:28,955
Glad you could join us, Hardy.
860
00:41:29,089 --> 00:41:30,423
Fairbanks,
the ball's coming to you,
861
00:41:30,557 --> 00:41:31,758
to the left this time.
862
00:41:31,891 --> 00:41:34,361
By some miracle,
can we please block?
863
00:41:34,493 --> 00:41:36,563
Just give me the damn ball.
864
00:41:36,696 --> 00:41:38,665
Okay, Hardy,
you're getting the ball.
865
00:41:38,798 --> 00:41:41,334
- On one and...
- ALL: Break!
866
00:41:41,468 --> 00:41:44,204
Come on. Good blocks now, boys.
You got it. Come on!
867
00:41:44,337 --> 00:41:47,674
- Six-two-one! Hike!
- And here's the snap.
868
00:41:47,807 --> 00:41:49,376
Brown gets the ball,
sweeps to the right,
869
00:41:49,509 --> 00:41:51,177
mowing over a Poly defender.
870
00:41:51,311 --> 00:41:53,780
- Cuts back to the left...
- Go! Go!
871
00:41:53,913 --> 00:41:57,283
...and tries to bring life
into the Orphan offense.
872
00:42:00,120 --> 00:42:01,654
Runs over his old pal Maywood
873
00:42:01,788 --> 00:42:04,024
and into the end zone
on a magnificent run.
874
00:42:04,157 --> 00:42:06,026
- Touchdown, Brown.
- We scored! Yes!
875
00:42:06,159 --> 00:42:08,061
- (whistle blowing)
- Hold everything, folks.
876
00:42:08,194 --> 00:42:09,996
There's a penalty flag
on the play.
877
00:42:10,130 --> 00:42:13,166
Clipping, number 40!
No touchdown!
878
00:42:13,299 --> 00:42:16,102
- DeWitt, you dumb son of a bitch!
- Hey, he made a mistake!
879
00:42:16,236 --> 00:42:18,438
He's always making mistakes
and you're no better!
880
00:42:18,571 --> 00:42:20,273
- Hey!
- Hey!
881
00:42:20,407 --> 00:42:22,709
(boys clamoring)
882
00:42:25,378 --> 00:42:27,080
- Get off him!
- Boys! Boys!
883
00:42:28,381 --> 00:42:29,682
- Stop.
- Doc: Break it up!
884
00:42:29,816 --> 00:42:31,551
- Stop that!
- Stop it! Get off the field!
885
00:42:31,684 --> 00:42:33,319
- Just stop that.
- Get off the field!
886
00:42:33,453 --> 00:42:35,221
- Get out of here! Go on!
- Damn it.
887
00:42:35,355 --> 00:42:36,923
- Stop that!
- Get off the field!
888
00:42:37,057 --> 00:42:39,527
What's the matter with you?
Get out of here!

Are you copying me?

(chuckles)
893
00:43:17,063 --> 00:43:18,064
Let me see that.
894
00:43:20,400 --> 00:43:22,435
I put this one here.
895
00:43:22,570 --> 00:43:24,538
That's a funny formation.
896
00:43:24,671 --> 00:43:26,306
What are you two doing?
897
00:43:27,941 --> 00:43:29,476
Well, I think I might have found
898
00:43:29,609 --> 00:43:31,811
my new offensive coordinator.
899
00:43:31,945 --> 00:43:33,713
If I can even
put an offense together.
900
00:43:33,847 --> 00:43:36,950
It doesn't sound like you're
adapting to your environment.
901
00:43:37,083 --> 00:43:39,853
I once heard a wise old coach
say something about
902
00:43:39,986 --> 00:43:42,622
helping his players
see what they can become.
903
00:43:45,258 --> 00:43:46,960
You see how she tells me
what to do?
904
00:43:47,093 --> 00:43:48,428
Mm-hm.
905
00:43:48,562 --> 00:43:50,296
You think that's funny?
906
00:43:50,430 --> 00:43:51,764
- No.
- I don't either.

Wheatie:
What are we doing, coach?
919
00:44:29,836 --> 00:44:32,672
All right, it's
your new offense, Mr. Sealey.
920
00:44:32,805 --> 00:44:35,509
Here's the first change.
A yard in between each man,
921
00:44:35,643 --> 00:44:38,178
all the way down the line.
Okay, Fairbanks,
922
00:44:38,311 --> 00:44:41,381
you take it three yards back,
get on the same line as Hardy.
923
00:44:41,515 --> 00:44:44,050
I'm gonna have you
line up a quarter yard
924
00:44:44,184 --> 00:44:45,885
directly behind A.P.
for the snap.
925
00:44:46,019 --> 00:44:47,420
Let me show you how.
926
00:44:47,555 --> 00:44:50,423
- What position does that make me?
- Quarterback.
927
00:44:50,558 --> 00:44:52,192
Quarterback takes the snap.
928
00:44:52,325 --> 00:44:55,395
He's gonna pivot to his right.
Halfback comes forward.
929
00:44:55,529 --> 00:44:58,798
Fake that handoff to Hardy.
Fairbanks will roll right.
930
00:44:58,932 --> 00:45:02,035
I'm gonna pitch it to him,
or if he gets too far out,
931
00:45:02,168 --> 00:45:05,138
fake the pitch, keep it
yourself, take it downfield.
932
00:45:05,271 --> 00:45:07,807
Fairbanks becomes
your primary blocker.
933
00:45:07,941 --> 00:45:10,076
You'll be my coach on the field.
Make the decisions.
934
00:45:10,210 --> 00:45:12,580
This is how we'll beat
the bigger teams.
935
00:45:12,712 --> 00:45:15,014
You gotta adapt
if you're gonna be competitive.
936
00:45:15,148 --> 00:45:16,849
We don't have the size,
937
00:45:16,983 --> 00:45:19,452
so we gotta utilize
what we do have, speed.
938
00:45:19,587 --> 00:45:22,855
Quick huddles, few time-outs.
Catch them off guard.
939
00:45:22,989 --> 00:45:25,925
Wear their defense down.
That's how we'll do it.
940
00:45:27,493 --> 00:45:29,162
What do y'all think so far?
941
00:45:29,295 --> 00:45:32,265
I think we'll get our asses
kicked from here to El Paso.
942
00:45:32,398 --> 00:45:34,500
I don't think it matters
what offense we run.
943
00:45:34,635 --> 00:45:35,935
Won't be good anyways.
944
00:45:37,370 --> 00:45:39,272
Mr. Brown, what do you think?
945
00:45:39,405 --> 00:45:42,775
We had no business
playing Poly to begin with.
946
00:45:42,909 --> 00:45:45,245
We got outplayed
and outcoached, coach.
947
00:45:49,115 --> 00:45:51,652
Mr. Brown's right.
948
00:45:51,784 --> 00:45:53,554
And I take full responsibility
949
00:45:53,687 --> 00:45:55,822
for what happened
on that field today.
950
00:45:55,955 --> 00:45:57,090
Everything.
951
00:45:58,224 --> 00:46:00,760
But I did learn something.
952
00:46:00,893 --> 00:46:05,733
I told DeWitt to drive
number 77 to hell and back.
953
00:46:05,865 --> 00:46:07,967
And I'm glad I did,
954
00:46:08,101 --> 00:46:10,537
because I got to see
what he's really made of.
955
00:46:10,671 --> 00:46:14,974
And I believe in him. And now
he better believe in himself.
956
00:46:15,108 --> 00:46:18,746
And I get it.
It's tough to believe
957
00:46:18,878 --> 00:46:23,283
when all you've known is
hurt and loss and abandonment.
958
00:46:23,416 --> 00:46:26,085
I know because I felt it
my whole life.
959
00:46:29,422 --> 00:46:31,057
I'm an orphan.
960
00:46:32,559 --> 00:46:34,662
Just like all of y'all.
961
00:46:34,794 --> 00:46:38,331
I know what it feels like
to not have a mother or a father
962
00:46:38,464 --> 00:46:41,334
cheering you on from the stands.
963
00:46:41,467 --> 00:46:43,102
I look at you boys,
964
00:46:43,236 --> 00:46:46,839
and I can honestly say
I'm proud to be an orphan.
965
00:46:46,973 --> 00:46:50,343
I'm not ashamed,
and I'm not worthless.
966
00:46:50,476 --> 00:46:52,546
I'm a mighty warrior.
967
00:46:52,680 --> 00:46:55,148
And you'll feel the same way
968
00:46:55,281 --> 00:46:59,385
if you can believe in yourselves
and believe in each other.
969
00:46:59,520 --> 00:47:01,454
You do that,
you'll be able to do
970
00:47:01,588 --> 00:47:04,824
what they all say is impossible.
971
00:47:04,957 --> 00:47:08,494
So say it with me. I am worthy.
972
00:47:08,629 --> 00:47:11,632
- ALL (softly): I am worthy.
- Believe it!
973
00:47:11,765 --> 00:47:14,834
- I am valuable.
- ALL: I am valuable!
974
00:47:14,967 --> 00:47:18,404
- I'm a mighty warrior!
- ALL: I'm a mighty warrior!
975
00:47:18,539 --> 00:47:21,374
- I'm a mighty orphan!
- ALL: I'm a mighty orphan!
976
00:47:21,508 --> 00:47:23,910
Believe as I do.
977
00:47:24,043 --> 00:47:27,046
Because it's true. It's true.
978
00:47:30,784 --> 00:47:33,721
- Leon, break it down.
- All right, get in here.
979
00:47:33,853 --> 00:47:35,522
Let's get a "Orphans" on three!
980
00:47:35,656 --> 00:47:37,524
One, two, three!
981
00:47:37,658 --> 00:47:38,625
ALL:
Orphans!
982
00:47:38,759 --> 00:47:40,561
(all laughing)
983
00:47:47,133 --> 00:47:49,369
Mr. Hardy, let me
have a word with you.
984
00:47:52,171 --> 00:47:53,873
I ain't gonna
yell your stupid chant.
985
00:47:54,006 --> 00:47:56,109
And I'm not gonna make you.
986
00:47:57,910 --> 00:48:00,046
But you do need
to make a choice.
987
00:48:02,048 --> 00:48:07,019
Now, I obligated you to be here.
That was my mistake.
988
00:48:07,153 --> 00:48:10,223
You're free to leave
anytime you want.
989
00:48:10,356 --> 00:48:12,659
That run of yours today,
990
00:48:12,793 --> 00:48:15,863
son, that was one
of the best I've ever seen.
991
00:48:15,995 --> 00:48:18,498
And it's all natural instinct.
992
00:48:18,632 --> 00:48:20,433
Must've felt pretty good.
993
00:48:23,403 --> 00:48:25,104
Why don't you go warm up?
994
00:48:32,111 --> 00:48:34,947
So, what do you think
about the new offense?
995
00:48:35,081 --> 00:48:38,852
Sir, I think you'll piss a lot
of people off, but I like it.
996
00:48:38,985 --> 00:48:42,890
Now, if you excuse me,
I'm freezing my nuts off.
997
00:48:43,022 --> 00:48:44,123
All right.

ANNOUNCER (over PA):
The Orphan offense has lined up
1003
00:48:59,472 --> 00:49:01,174
in a formation
I have never seen before.
1004
00:49:01,307 --> 00:49:04,578
What the hell is he doing lining
up behind the center like that?
1005
00:49:04,711 --> 00:49:07,881
Appears to be some kind
of new formation, coach.
1006
00:49:08,014 --> 00:49:09,315
I got that.
1007
00:49:09,449 --> 00:49:11,384
(crowd murmuring)
1008
00:49:11,518 --> 00:49:13,085
Looks like cheating to me.
1009
00:49:13,219 --> 00:49:14,454
Six-two, split!
1010
00:49:15,923 --> 00:49:17,624
- Hike!
- Sealey takes the snap.
1011
00:49:17,758 --> 00:49:20,159
Pitches it to the outside
to Hardy Brown.
1012
00:49:20,293 --> 00:49:22,495
- He takes it up the sideline.
- (crowd cheering)
1013
00:49:22,629 --> 00:49:25,364
Brown rumbles down the field
like a locomotive.

00:49:25,498 --> 00:49:28,034
They fooled the entire defense
on that play, folks.
1015
00:49:28,167 --> 00:49:30,436
- I'll be damned.
- Brown takes it all the way
1016
00:49:30,571 --> 00:49:34,040
- for an 80-yard touchdown.
- (crowd cheering)
1017
00:49:34,173 --> 00:49:35,374
That's a good start.
1018
00:49:35,509 --> 00:49:37,578
(boys clamoring)
1019
00:49:37,711 --> 00:49:39,847
Gosh dang, he's fast, coach.
1020
00:49:39,979 --> 00:49:42,683
He is. He's fast.
You're observant.
1021
00:49:42,816 --> 00:49:45,351
Everybody's got a gift.
What's ours?
1022
00:49:45,485 --> 00:49:47,955
♫ ♫
1023
00:49:48,087 --> 00:49:49,255
PLAYER 1:
Shift, shift!
1024
00:49:49,388 --> 00:49:51,491
MINERAL Wells COACH:
There's a shift.
1025
00:49:53,259 --> 00:49:55,228
- We're not looking good, coach.
- Dang it.
1026
00:49:55,361 --> 00:49:57,230
- Thataway. Huddle.
- Hike!
1027
00:49:57,363 --> 00:49:59,566
These fellas have come out
swinging tonight,
1028
00:49:59,700 --> 00:50:03,369
- take no prisoners.
- Sweep left! Sideline!
1029
00:50:03,504 --> 00:50:05,238
The Orphans have
fooled the Rams again.
1030
00:50:05,371 --> 00:50:07,473
- Catch him!
- Fairbanks runs in the end zone
1031
00:50:07,608 --> 00:50:08,809
untouched and smiling.
1032
00:50:08,942 --> 00:50:10,611
- Touchdown.
- Oh, my.
1033
00:50:10,744 --> 00:50:12,846
I'm thinking about
shooting all the parents,
1034
00:50:12,980 --> 00:50:16,482
starting my own orphanage. Maybe
that'll motivate these boys.
1035
00:50:16,617 --> 00:50:20,186
I want you to imagine
your opponent is Mr. Wynn.
1036
00:50:21,922 --> 00:50:23,322
Thanks, Doc.
1037
00:50:23,456 --> 00:50:26,158
- That's a good analogy, Doc.
- We'll see.
1038
00:50:26,292 --> 00:50:27,326
PLAYER:
Set. Hike!
1039
00:50:30,296 --> 00:50:32,733
Speedy Leonard Roach
leveling the halfback.
1040
00:50:32,866 --> 00:50:34,066
Nice to meet you, fat-ass.
1041
00:50:34,200 --> 00:50:36,068
(orphans exclaiming)
1042
00:50:36,202 --> 00:50:37,838
Pardon my French,
but The Rams
1043
00:50:37,971 --> 00:50:39,806
are getting their butts
handed to them.
1044
00:50:39,940 --> 00:50:41,307
My God, Sealey has it.
1045
00:50:41,440 --> 00:50:43,510
Sealey looks like
a running duck
1046
00:50:43,644 --> 00:50:45,311
as he hits
the wide-open pastures.
1047
00:50:45,444 --> 00:50:46,547
They're running outside.
1048
00:50:46,680 --> 00:50:48,849
They are running
to the outside.
1049
00:50:48,982 --> 00:50:51,018
...the five,
and touchdown, Orphans.
1050
00:50:51,150 --> 00:50:53,052
- (crowd cheering)
- (fires)
1051
00:50:53,185 --> 00:50:55,488
(all cheering)
1052
00:50:57,891 --> 00:51:00,561
- Good job, boys.
- That'll be the dagger there.
1053
00:51:00,694 --> 00:51:03,229
And Coach Russell's
underdog Orphans
1054
00:51:03,362 --> 00:51:05,032
will get to take home
the game ball.
1055
00:51:06,533 --> 00:51:08,200
Doc:
Nothing I admire more
1056
00:51:08,334 --> 00:51:10,571
than a full-service
football team.
1057
00:51:10,704 --> 00:51:12,271
And they played
a great game today.
1058
00:51:12,405 --> 00:51:15,207
They played all right.
Still room for improvement.
1059
00:51:15,341 --> 00:51:19,613
Improvement? Didn't we just whup
the tar out of General Mills?
1060
00:51:19,746 --> 00:51:22,214
- You mean Mineral Wells?
- You know that's who I meant.
1061
00:51:22,348 --> 00:51:24,952
Hey, Doc, we had eight penalties
for over 100 yards.
1062
00:51:25,084 --> 00:51:27,486
We can't compete against
real teams playing like this.
1063
00:51:27,621 --> 00:51:29,255
We gotta
get these boys refocused.
1064
00:51:29,388 --> 00:51:31,959
We just win our first game
with your new system,
1065
00:51:32,091 --> 00:51:33,560
and suddenly,
you're a pessimist.
1066
00:51:33,694 --> 00:51:35,796
- I need another drink.
- Oh, now you're mad, huh?
1067
00:51:35,929 --> 00:51:38,732
- I'm not mad. I'm thirsty.
- Rusty: How's it looking, Leon?
1068
00:51:38,865 --> 00:51:40,968
Try to turn her over, coach.
1069
00:51:41,100 --> 00:51:44,303
I saw Claudette Colbert
do this in a movie once.
1070
00:51:44,437 --> 00:51:46,607
- We're gonna be here all day.
- (engine sputters)
1071
00:51:48,542 --> 00:51:50,376
Leon:
Shit.
1072
00:51:50,510 --> 00:51:53,145
You orphans can
change the oil in my car
1073
00:51:53,279 --> 00:51:55,549
- when you get done there.
- (players laughing)
1074
00:51:55,682 --> 00:51:57,718
Get down here
and say that to my face.
1075
00:51:57,851 --> 00:52:00,520
- I'm right here, boy. Come on.
- Rusty: Come on, boys. Let's go.
1076
00:52:00,654 --> 00:52:02,522
You just wait, I'll tear you up.
1077
00:52:02,656 --> 00:52:04,958
- BOY 1: You heard him.
- BOY 2: You don't want this.
1078
00:52:05,092 --> 00:52:06,359
Luther:
You boys need a lift?
1079
00:52:06,492 --> 00:52:08,327
No, we're good. How you doing?
1080
00:52:08,461 --> 00:52:11,430
Very well. Coach, you need
to get yourself a nice bus
1081
00:52:11,565 --> 00:52:14,266
- like this for these boys.
- Yeah, that's nice.
1082
00:52:14,400 --> 00:52:17,771
Fella on the radio said
y'all got your first victory.
1083
00:52:17,904 --> 00:52:20,774
- We sure did.
- Everyone beats Mineral Wells.
1084
00:52:20,907 --> 00:52:22,009
(boys laughing)
1085
00:52:22,141 --> 00:52:24,176
See you next season, coach.
1086
00:52:24,310 --> 00:52:25,646
If you survive this one.
1087
00:52:25,779 --> 00:52:27,681
I like them
tiny cowboy boots.
1088
00:52:27,814 --> 00:52:30,017
I wanna get some for my
daughter. Where you get those?
1089
00:52:30,149 --> 00:52:32,019
(chuckles)
1090
00:52:32,151 --> 00:52:33,720
Y'all enjoy that fresh air.
1091
00:52:33,854 --> 00:52:35,122
Good to see you.
1092
00:52:40,627 --> 00:52:42,194
Doc, you shouldn't
have done that.
1093
00:52:42,328 --> 00:52:44,765
- I know. It was half full.
- That's not what I meant.
1094
00:52:44,898 --> 00:52:46,967
- Come on, get in. Let's go.
- (all laughing)
1095
00:52:47,100 --> 00:52:49,836
♫ ♫
1096
00:52:59,780 --> 00:53:02,582
Huh. Kid, you ought
to come work for me
1097
00:53:02,716 --> 00:53:04,483
at the Star-Telegram.
1098
00:53:04,618 --> 00:53:06,019
You'll sell more papers.
1099
00:53:08,121 --> 00:53:10,891
Leon: You know what them Dallas
girls say after a good poke?
1100
00:53:11,024 --> 00:53:12,859
- No, what?
- "Get off me, Dad.
1101
00:53:12,993 --> 00:53:15,595
- You're crushing my smokes."
- (all laughing)
1102
00:53:15,729 --> 00:53:18,899
ANNOUNCER (over PA): The Highland Park
Scots are one of the toughest teams
1103
00:53:19,032 --> 00:53:20,567
and a favorite in the district.
1104
00:53:20,701 --> 00:53:22,836
You still write fantasy
for that rag of yours?
1105
00:53:22,969 --> 00:53:24,336
Amon Carter.
1106
00:53:24,470 --> 00:53:26,073
We ain't the Fort Worth
Star-Telegram,
1107
00:53:26,205 --> 00:53:27,641
- but we're surviving.
- (laughs)
1108
00:53:27,774 --> 00:53:29,509
What the hell you doing
so far east?
1109
00:53:29,643 --> 00:53:31,210
You lose a bird dog or a wife?
1110
00:53:31,343 --> 00:53:34,548
I wanted to see what all
the goddang fuss was about.
1111
00:53:34,681 --> 00:53:37,216
I tell you what.
I'll make you a wager.
1112
00:53:37,349 --> 00:53:40,453
I'll give you your 12 Orphans,
plus 30 points.
1113
00:53:40,587 --> 00:53:41,755
- Thirty points?
- Uh-huh.
1114
00:53:41,888 --> 00:53:42,956
Five dollars.
1115
00:53:43,090 --> 00:53:44,958
Between the prince
and the pauper?
1116
00:53:45,092 --> 00:53:47,359
- Pun intended.
- Five will get you 50. Done.
1117
00:53:47,493 --> 00:53:49,696
(vomits, retching)
1118
00:53:54,901 --> 00:53:56,670
- Rusty: You all right?
- CHICKEN: Yes, sir.
1119
00:53:56,803 --> 00:53:59,438
Tell you what. I can't believe
what I overheard.
1120
00:53:59,573 --> 00:54:02,408
Scots say that they're gonna
beat us by 50 points.
1121
00:54:02,542 --> 00:54:04,077
- Fifty!
- (scoffs)
1122
00:54:04,211 --> 00:54:07,080
They said we're nothing
but some hillbilly orphans,
1123
00:54:07,214 --> 00:54:09,116
and that I was a washed-up,
1124
00:54:09,248 --> 00:54:11,918
four-eyed,
half blind orphan coach.
1125
00:54:12,052 --> 00:54:15,655
- Heh, and that hurts my feelings.
- Mine too.
1126
00:54:15,789 --> 00:54:18,992
So, what do y'all say
we go out there
1127
00:54:19,126 --> 00:54:21,228
and we show
these silver-spooned Scotties
1128
00:54:21,360 --> 00:54:23,196
how us country boys play ball?
1129
00:54:23,329 --> 00:54:25,098
And from the moment
we hit that field,
1130
00:54:25,232 --> 00:54:28,467
from that first whistle,
we light them up?
1131
00:54:28,602 --> 00:54:30,369
- ALL: Yeah!
- Get out there
1132
00:54:30,504 --> 00:54:32,072
and take care of business!
1133
00:54:32,205 --> 00:54:33,807
Come on, boys! Let's do it.
1134
00:54:33,940 --> 00:54:35,575
This is what we worked towards.
1135
00:54:35,709 --> 00:54:37,844
Get out there. Attaway.
1136
00:54:37,978 --> 00:54:39,813
Reverse psychology. Good one.
1137
00:54:41,447 --> 00:54:43,850
Fight, fight, fight,
you Mighty Mites!
1138
00:54:43,984 --> 00:54:46,285
Run the left, run the right!
1139
00:54:46,418 --> 00:54:49,156
Down the middle
and through the air!
1140
00:54:49,288 --> 00:54:52,259
The Mighty Mites
will all be there!
1141
00:54:52,391 --> 00:54:55,128
The Scots will receive as
the Orphans get ready to kick.
1142
00:54:55,262 --> 00:54:58,064
(crowd cheering)
1143
00:54:58,198 --> 00:54:59,900
Bouncing on the ground
and scooped up
1144
00:55:00,033 --> 00:55:02,334
by the Scottie return man,
who turns upfield.
1145
00:55:02,468 --> 00:55:05,437
- MAN: Fumble!
- He's lit up by number 43,
1146
00:55:05,572 --> 00:55:07,874
- Hardy Brown.
- (orphans cheering)
1147
00:55:09,810 --> 00:55:12,279
Sealey lines up a quarter
of a yard behind center...
1148
00:55:12,411 --> 00:55:14,815
All right, boys, come on.
1149
00:55:14,948 --> 00:55:18,652
- Hike!
- Sealey tosses it to Fairbanks.
1150
00:55:18,785 --> 00:55:20,821
Takes it down
to the ten, the five,
1151
00:55:20,954 --> 00:55:22,823
- and touchdown, Orphans!
- (whistle blows)
1152
00:55:22,956 --> 00:55:26,193
- Touchdown! Ha-ha!
- There we go, Doc.
1153
00:55:26,325 --> 00:55:28,427
You sandbagging me, pauper?
1154
00:55:28,562 --> 00:55:30,597
- Every chance.
- Fifty-three!
1155
00:55:30,730 --> 00:55:32,933
The Orphans are running circles
around the Scotties,
1156
00:55:33,066 --> 00:55:34,868
who look confused out there.
1157
00:55:36,303 --> 00:55:38,238
(orphans cheering)
1158
00:55:43,342 --> 00:55:45,712
- Look at Snoggs!
- Roach goes on a wild ride,
1159
00:55:45,846 --> 00:55:48,748
as the Scots halfback drags him
for well over five yards
1160
00:55:48,882 --> 00:55:51,151
to get the Scots close
to the first down marker.
1161
00:55:51,284 --> 00:55:53,053
Beat us by 50, huh?
1162
00:55:53,186 --> 00:55:56,156
- Rusty: It's a damn rodeo.
- Show some mercy, Snoggs!
1163
00:55:56,289 --> 00:55:57,691
(laughing)
1164
00:55:57,824 --> 00:56:00,392
- Time-out.
- Highland Park calls a time-out.
1165
00:56:00,527 --> 00:56:02,562
Beck covers the guy
taking the snap.
1166
00:56:02,696 --> 00:56:04,463
Hank, you take the halfback.
1167
00:56:04,598 --> 00:56:06,465
Milo, you take the fullback.
1168
00:56:06,600 --> 00:56:07,534
Hike!
1169
00:56:09,870 --> 00:56:12,772
Scots cause a turnover
and have found a solution
1170
00:56:12,906 --> 00:56:14,373
in shutting down the Wing-T
1171
00:56:14,507 --> 00:56:16,375
by tackling everybody
in the backfield,
1172
00:56:16,509 --> 00:56:18,578
- no matter who has the ball.
- They figured out
1173
00:56:18,712 --> 00:56:20,680
how to shut down
your Wing T, coach.
1174
00:56:20,814 --> 00:56:22,015
Looks that way, Doc.
1175
00:56:22,148 --> 00:56:24,818
Don't worry.
My defense will hold them.
1176
00:56:24,951 --> 00:56:27,520
Well, this is it, folks.
Do or die for the Scots,
1177
00:56:27,654 --> 00:56:29,488
who can punch it in
for the win.
1178
00:56:29,623 --> 00:56:31,457
Not over till it's over.
1179
00:56:31,591 --> 00:56:33,760
Shift!
1180
00:56:33,894 --> 00:56:35,028
Hike!
1181
00:56:37,130 --> 00:56:40,033
- (crowd exclaims)
- Whoa! Yes! Defense!
1182
00:56:40,166 --> 00:56:41,301
(crowd cheering)
1183
00:56:41,433 --> 00:56:44,204
(whistle blowing)
1184
00:56:44,337 --> 00:56:46,106
Ladies and gentlemen,
the game is over
1185
00:56:46,239 --> 00:56:47,707
and Highland Park has lost.
1186
00:56:49,075 --> 00:56:50,543
Thank you, easy money.
1187
00:56:50,677 --> 00:56:52,746
Best 50 bucks I ever spent.
1188
00:56:52,879 --> 00:56:56,182
Congratulations, coach.
We should've never voted you in.
1189
00:56:56,316 --> 00:56:59,052
I cannot believe my eyes,
folks, and I'm just as stunned
1190
00:56:59,185 --> 00:57:00,754
as the Highland Park fans
today.
1191
00:57:00,887 --> 00:57:03,089
This might go down
as one of the biggest upsets
1192
00:57:03,223 --> 00:57:05,825
in all of Texas
high-school football.
1193
00:57:05,959 --> 00:57:09,729
♫ ♫
1194
00:57:09,863 --> 00:57:10,997
ALL:
Break!
1195
00:57:13,033 --> 00:57:15,434
Wheatie:
Set! Hike!
1196
00:57:17,070 --> 00:57:19,406
Wouldn't old Luther Scarborough
have him a heyday
1197
00:57:19,539 --> 00:57:22,441
if he saw you out here
coaching these boys on Saturday?
1198
00:57:22,575 --> 00:57:24,411
Why, he'd get ahold of the UIL,
1199
00:57:24,544 --> 00:57:26,313
get you kicked out
of Class A football
1200
00:57:26,445 --> 00:57:28,782
- faster than I can talk about it.
- I'm not coaching.
1201
00:57:28,915 --> 00:57:32,886
They're playing on their own,
for fun. I'm eating an apple.
1202
00:57:33,019 --> 00:57:35,454
POP: Lot of talk about
that Hardy Brown boy.
1203
00:57:35,588 --> 00:57:37,557
He hits godawful hard
just to be 17.
1204
00:57:37,691 --> 00:57:39,491
Well, Pop,
that's what people do.
1205
00:57:39,626 --> 00:57:41,995
They talk and they gossip.
1206
00:57:42,128 --> 00:57:44,931
Or in your case,
write what people gossip about.
1207
00:57:45,065 --> 00:57:47,499
What if I wrote your Orphans
going to state this year?
1208
00:57:47,634 --> 00:57:50,003
I'd say you're gonna lose
a lot of readers,
1209
00:57:50,136 --> 00:57:52,872
especially on the Poly side
of town. I'd be careful.
1210
00:57:53,006 --> 00:57:56,242
Not gonna lose readers.
They'll want you to win.
1211
00:57:56,376 --> 00:57:59,646
Everybody'll be behind a team
with nothing, just like them.
1212
00:57:59,779 --> 00:58:02,415
Team cobbled together with
a bunch of resilient orphans,
1213
00:58:02,549 --> 00:58:05,118
on top of that, an orphan coach.
1214
00:58:05,251 --> 00:58:07,921
Quite the backstory.
War hero.
1215
00:58:08,054 --> 00:58:11,458
Overcame blindness
to become an All-American.
1216
00:58:11,624 --> 00:58:14,361
Sounds like you already
got your story, Pop.
1217
00:58:14,493 --> 00:58:15,895
Good talking to you.
1218
00:58:16,029 --> 00:58:18,198
And I like your articles.
Keep it up.
1219
00:58:21,500 --> 00:58:24,337
Y'all remember what to do?
Call this the Snoggs Special.
1220
00:58:24,471 --> 00:58:27,340
- Wheatie: You got this?
- Yeah, I can do it. I got it.
1221
00:58:27,474 --> 00:58:29,876
- On one and...
- ALL: Break!
1222
00:58:32,746 --> 00:58:33,713
Set.
1223
00:58:35,248 --> 00:58:37,684
- I'm gonna smoke you, Chicken.
- Just you try.
1224
00:58:37,817 --> 00:58:38,818
Hike!
1225
00:58:45,592 --> 00:58:46,926
Wheatie:
Damn it, Snoggs!
1226
00:58:47,060 --> 00:58:48,995
If you can't do this,
I'll get Fairbanks to.
1227
00:58:49,129 --> 00:58:51,364
- I can do it!
- Leon: You know what they say?
1228
00:58:51,498 --> 00:58:53,533
You play with it too much,
you'll go blind.
1229
00:58:53,666 --> 00:58:55,735
- (boys laughing)
- Hey, Leon.
1230
00:58:55,869 --> 00:58:57,937
Snoggs Special, again.
1231
00:59:00,774 --> 00:59:02,075
(crowd cheering)
1232
00:59:02,208 --> 00:59:04,411
Doc:
In the depth of the Depression,
1233
00:59:04,544 --> 00:59:06,646
people needed something
to cling to.
1234
00:59:06,780 --> 00:59:08,181
And Pop was right.
1235
00:59:08,314 --> 00:59:10,683
The Orphans were
just the classic underdog
1236
00:59:10,817 --> 00:59:13,653
that the common folk
could get behind.
1237
00:59:13,787 --> 00:59:15,588
This love affair between Texas
1238
00:59:15,722 --> 00:59:18,758
and its little band of orphans
was not hard to fathom.
1239
00:59:18,892 --> 00:59:21,928
Granted, most folks
were in love with football.
1240
00:59:22,062 --> 00:59:26,633
It was just as indigenous
as oil Wells and tumbleweeds.
1241
00:59:26,766 --> 00:59:30,703
These scrappy orphans
are undersized, outnumbered,
1242
00:59:30,837 --> 00:59:33,339
and every damn one of them
plays both ways.
1243
00:59:33,473 --> 00:59:36,544
I mean, they are full
of bull piss and vinegar.
1244
00:59:36,676 --> 00:59:39,112
That's exactly
the kind of Cinderella story
1245
00:59:39,245 --> 00:59:40,780
this country needs,
1246
00:59:40,914 --> 00:59:43,349
which is why you should've been
the one to break it
1247
00:59:43,483 --> 00:59:46,052
- and not the Fort Worth Press.
- (laughs)
1248
00:59:46,186 --> 00:59:48,556
I had no idea
you had enough leisure time
1249
00:59:48,688 --> 00:59:51,124
to read every paper
in the country, Mr. President.
1250
00:59:51,257 --> 00:59:54,562
I don't. But Eleanor does.
1251
00:59:54,694 --> 00:59:55,829
(laughs)
1252
00:59:55,962 --> 00:59:57,263
Doc:
By the time
1253
00:59:57,397 --> 00:59:59,299
anyone can figure out
how to stop it,
1254
00:59:59,432 --> 01:00:00,633
I'm sure you will have
1255
01:00:00,767 --> 01:00:02,402
already thought of
an even better scheme.
1256
01:00:02,536 --> 01:00:04,204
- That's what you think.
- It's what I know.
1257
01:00:04,337 --> 01:00:07,707
All right, I wanna bring up
one thing about the offense.
1258
01:00:07,841 --> 01:00:11,044
- BILL: Now, hang on. Hang on.
- Get away. I want to see C.D.
1259
01:00:11,177 --> 01:00:12,812
C.D.! C.D.!
1260
01:00:13,913 --> 01:00:15,048
Who's C.D.?
1261
01:00:19,553 --> 01:00:20,521
I am.
1262
01:00:21,921 --> 01:00:23,022
Oh.
1263
01:00:24,090 --> 01:00:25,158
Oh, C.D.
1264
01:00:26,459 --> 01:00:29,195
Oh, my boy, I've... Oh!
1265
01:00:29,329 --> 01:00:31,331
Oh, I've missed you.
1266
01:00:31,464 --> 01:00:32,832
(sighing)
1267
01:00:34,968 --> 01:00:37,605
Now, let me get a look at you.
1268
01:00:37,737 --> 01:00:41,174
Oh, you're...
You're so tall and thin.
1269
01:00:44,077 --> 01:00:45,078
You...
1270
01:00:46,146 --> 01:00:47,847
You look like your daddy.
1271
01:00:50,817 --> 01:00:53,186
How old are you now?
1272
01:00:53,319 --> 01:00:55,054
I'm 17.
1273
01:00:56,322 --> 01:00:57,857
Been here almost ten years now,
1274
01:00:57,991 --> 01:01:00,693
since the day
you dropped me off.
1275
01:01:00,827 --> 01:01:02,295
Oh...
1276
01:01:02,428 --> 01:01:05,599
I'm... I'm so sorry.
1277
01:01:05,732 --> 01:01:09,936
I never should've given you up.
It was a mistake.
1278
01:01:10,069 --> 01:01:11,137
I...
1279
01:01:11,271 --> 01:01:12,839
After your father left,
1280
01:01:12,972 --> 01:01:16,142
I just...
I didn't know what to do.
1281
01:01:16,276 --> 01:01:18,011
What are you doing here, Mom?
1282
01:01:19,179 --> 01:01:20,514
Oh.
1283
01:01:20,648 --> 01:01:23,917
I want you
to come with me and Earl
1284
01:01:24,050 --> 01:01:26,986
and spend this coming
Thanksgiving with us,
1285
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:29,590
so we can be a family again.
1286
01:01:29,722 --> 01:01:32,560
He's very nice,
once you get to know him.
1287
01:01:34,194 --> 01:01:35,895
So come on. Come on, baby,
1288
01:01:36,029 --> 01:01:37,897
you get your things
and let's go.
1289
01:01:39,766 --> 01:01:41,234
C.D.?
1290
01:01:41,367 --> 01:01:43,903
That's not my name anymore.
It's Wheatie.
1291
01:01:44,037 --> 01:01:45,905
Oh, okay.
1292
01:01:46,039 --> 01:01:49,943
Well, Wheatie, come on.
Hurry up and grab your things.
1293
01:01:50,076 --> 01:01:53,947
Wanda, get the damn kid
and let's go.
1294
01:01:54,080 --> 01:01:56,115
Now!
1295
01:01:56,249 --> 01:01:57,884
Know what?
I'm gonna be in the car.
1296
01:01:58,017 --> 01:02:01,221
Just come to the car.
We're gonna go home.
1297
01:02:08,962 --> 01:02:10,096
No.
1298
01:02:12,566 --> 01:02:13,534
I am home.
1299
01:02:17,337 --> 01:02:20,740
Don't you talk back to me!
1300
01:02:20,873 --> 01:02:23,611
I am your mother!
1301
01:02:25,411 --> 01:02:27,413
- BILL: Now, hold on.
- Get in the car.
1302
01:02:27,548 --> 01:02:29,583
- Calm down.
- Come on, baby. Come to the car.
1303
01:02:29,717 --> 01:02:31,050
Please come to the car.
1304
01:02:31,184 --> 01:02:32,452
- Come to the car!
- I said...
1305
01:02:32,586 --> 01:02:34,220
- This is not your home!
- Ms. Sealey!
1306
01:02:34,354 --> 01:02:36,489
You let go of me!
1307
01:02:36,624 --> 01:02:38,458
- Rusty: You all right?
- (sobs)
1308
01:02:38,592 --> 01:02:40,360
- Mrs. Sealey: Well...
- (sniffles)
1309
01:02:40,493 --> 01:02:42,462
If you...
1310
01:02:42,596 --> 01:02:44,264
If you change your mind...
1311
01:02:51,404 --> 01:02:52,772
You all right?
1312
01:03:01,881 --> 01:03:04,652
What are we gonna do without
a quarterback now, coach?
1313
01:03:06,119 --> 01:03:07,954
(car engine starts)
1314
01:03:08,087 --> 01:03:08,988

Goddamn it!

(screams, then sobbing)
1321
01:04:04,043 --> 01:04:06,979
You're an orphan now,
C.D. Sealey.
1322
01:04:07,113 --> 01:04:08,414
Come here.
1323
01:04:08,549 --> 01:04:09,882
(patting back)
1324
01:04:11,984 --> 01:04:14,688
Hey, you'll be all right.

Mommy!

Mary Jane:
George, look after Rusty.
1327
01:04:35,676 --> 01:04:37,009
George:
Rusty, it's time.
1328
01:04:39,078 --> 01:04:41,481
- (gunfire)
- When you run out of here,
1329
01:04:41,615 --> 01:04:44,250
you're gonna break right.
We got to spread out.
1330
01:04:44,384 --> 01:04:46,720
SERGEANT:
Attack! Spread out!
1331
01:04:52,191 --> 01:04:53,259
Rusty:
George!
1332
01:04:54,728 --> 01:04:56,496
- (mouthing words)
- SERGEANT: Spread out!
1333
01:04:56,630 --> 01:04:57,564
(grunts)
1334
01:04:59,767 --> 01:05:01,602
(train horn blows)
1335
01:05:09,510 --> 01:05:12,311
Doc: He spread them out on
the field and let them run.
1336
01:05:12,445 --> 01:05:14,380
Totally innovative.
1337
01:05:14,515 --> 01:05:17,283
- Rusty: Widen out, Snoggs.
- They can't do this.
1338
01:05:17,417 --> 01:05:19,720
They can't spread out
all over the field.
1339
01:05:19,853 --> 01:05:21,622
As long as they have
seven on the line,
1340
01:05:21,755 --> 01:05:23,222
they can spread out
however they want.
1341
01:05:23,356 --> 01:05:24,357
This ain't football.
1342
01:05:24,490 --> 01:05:26,292
You don't just spread out.
1343
01:05:26,426 --> 01:05:27,960
He did it because his players
1344
01:05:28,094 --> 01:05:30,430
were too small
to fight toe-to-toe
1345
01:05:30,564 --> 01:05:33,399
with the bigger boys
from the bigger schools.
1346
01:05:33,534 --> 01:05:35,803

♫ ♫
1348
01:05:44,043 --> 01:05:46,245
The spread offense was simple.
1349
01:05:46,379 --> 01:05:50,049
The ends break wide
to get open and catch the ball.
1350
01:05:50,183 --> 01:05:52,719
Until that time, passing
and catching the football
1351
01:05:52,853 --> 01:05:56,289
was something as rare
as Rusty Russell himself.
1352
01:05:56,422 --> 01:05:59,292
The spread offense
would go on to become
1353
01:05:59,425 --> 01:06:01,762
one of the greatest innovations
of the passing game
1354
01:06:01,895 --> 01:06:03,764
in modern football.
1355
01:06:03,897 --> 01:06:05,298
And Pop was right.
1356
01:06:05,431 --> 01:06:07,868
Everyone from El Paso
to Brownsville
1357
01:06:08,000 --> 01:06:10,771
had taken a fancy
to the perennial underdogs
1358
01:06:10,904 --> 01:06:12,940
in their tattered uniforms.
1359
01:06:13,072 --> 01:06:14,508
And winning did exactly
1360
01:06:14,641 --> 01:06:17,310
what Rusty thought
it would for the boys.
1361
01:06:17,443 --> 01:06:20,146
Being an orphan,
and one from the Masonic Home,
1362
01:06:20,279 --> 01:06:22,816
was something
you could now say with pride.
1363
01:06:25,051 --> 01:06:27,320
Naturally, the rough-hewn boys
playing football
1364
01:06:27,453 --> 01:06:32,158
would soon be idealized
like the cowboys of old.
1365
01:06:32,291 --> 01:06:34,327
That's not your money.
That's the orphans'.
1366
01:06:34,460 --> 01:06:36,797
Are you accusing me
of stealing? Ha!
1367
01:06:38,431 --> 01:06:39,332
(laughing)
1368
01:06:44,270 --> 01:06:46,105
"Why so much grief for me?"
1369
01:06:46,239 --> 01:06:48,007
ANNOUNCER (over PA):
Brown just might be
1370
01:06:48,140 --> 01:06:50,176
the toughest kid
I've seen in years.
1371
01:06:50,309 --> 01:06:52,513
"No man will hurl me down
to Death, against my fate."
1372
01:06:52,646 --> 01:06:54,715
Like a ton of bricks,
Brown lays into him.
1373
01:06:54,848 --> 01:06:55,883
Hardy:
"And fate?
1374
01:06:57,518 --> 01:06:59,352
No one alive
has ever escaped it..."
1375
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:02,923
ANNOUNCER:
The Mighty Orphans win again.
1376
01:07:03,055 --> 01:07:05,024
"...neither brave man
nor coward..."
1377
01:07:05,157 --> 01:07:07,360
Coach Russell does it again.
1378
01:07:07,493 --> 01:07:09,830
The Orphans just might
win the district.
1379
01:07:09,963 --> 01:07:12,164
Hardy: "...I tell you...
it is born with us
1380
01:07:12,298 --> 01:07:13,767
the day that we are born."
1381
01:07:15,201 --> 01:07:16,102
Very nice.
1382
01:07:16,235 --> 01:07:18,471
(students applauding)
1383
01:07:22,441 --> 01:07:25,478
PHOTOGRAPHER: All right, boys,
give me eight wins! Get it!
1384
01:07:25,612 --> 01:07:26,747
Doc:
And just like that,
1385
01:07:26,880 --> 01:07:28,247
the Mites were now headed
1386
01:07:28,381 --> 01:07:29,850
to the regional championship
1387
01:07:29,983 --> 01:07:33,520
to face their old friends
at Poly High.
1388
01:07:33,654 --> 01:07:36,723
Oh, Doc,
did you forget something?
1389
01:07:36,857 --> 01:07:38,759
(both laughing)
1390
01:07:40,994 --> 01:07:43,030
Thank you, Juanita.
1391
01:07:43,162 --> 01:07:44,898
For everything.
1392
01:07:45,032 --> 01:07:48,200
It's the best Thanksgiving
I've had in 20 years.
1393
01:07:48,334 --> 01:07:49,870
Felt like family again.
1394
01:07:50,003 --> 01:07:51,738
We are family, Doc.
1395
01:07:51,872 --> 01:07:53,674
If you ask me,
y'all are the best thing
1396
01:07:53,807 --> 01:07:55,609
to ever happen to this place.
1397
01:07:57,176 --> 01:07:58,512
Good night.
1398
01:07:58,645 --> 01:07:59,880
Night.
1399
01:08:00,013 --> 01:08:01,748

01:08:36,783 --> 01:08:38,484
I got that for you, ma'am.
1408
01:08:38,619 --> 01:08:41,153
I didn't know they were showing
Oliver Twist tonight.
1409
01:08:41,287 --> 01:08:42,689
Think you're cute?
1410
01:08:42,823 --> 01:08:45,191
Leave them, Hardy.
They're just bullies.
1411
01:08:45,324 --> 01:08:47,761
NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: Two-time
state champion Amarillo
1412
01:08:47,894 --> 01:08:49,596
is home to halfback
Myrle Greathouse.
1413
01:08:49,730 --> 01:08:52,331
Standing over 6 feet tall
and weighing 240 pounds,
1414
01:08:52,465 --> 01:08:54,367
no wonder scouts
are calling him
1415
01:08:54,500 --> 01:08:55,836
the best high-school player
in America.
1416
01:08:55,969 --> 01:08:57,004
He's not. Hardy Brown is.
1417
01:08:57,136 --> 01:08:59,940
Wheatie:
He's a monster.
1418
01:09:00,073 --> 01:09:02,141
Well, hell,
they ain't faced us yet.
1419
01:09:02,274 --> 01:09:03,175
Damn right.
1420
01:09:04,678 --> 01:09:06,580
- Wheatie: Hey!
- Come on, back up!
1421

- Let's go!
- Back it up!

Every decision in life
has consequences, boys.

Hit the tower. Hustle!
1430
01:09:40,547 --> 01:09:42,516
Leon:
I didn't even do anything.
1431
01:09:42,649 --> 01:09:45,018
If I live through this...
1432
01:09:45,152 --> 01:09:47,721
- I'll kill you.
- Oh, do it now.
1433
01:09:47,854 --> 01:09:50,057
- Okay.
- Rusty: Mr. Remmert.
1434
01:09:50,189 --> 01:09:51,892
Highland Park coaches
pooled together
1435
01:09:52,025 --> 01:09:54,528
and bought y'all
brand-new game jerseys.
1436
01:09:54,661 --> 01:09:56,697
Although I got half a mind
to send them back
1437
01:09:56,830 --> 01:09:58,565
after that damn stunt
they pulled last night.
1438
01:09:58,699 --> 01:10:01,768
- You hear about it?
- Oh, yeah, I heard. Sorry.
1439
01:10:01,902 --> 01:10:04,037
Hey, thanks for these.
Sorry to hear about your leg.
1440
01:10:04,171 --> 01:10:06,873
- Yeah, well.
- (laughing)
1441
01:10:07,007 --> 01:10:09,042
Oh, man, they burned his leg.
1442
01:10:09,176 --> 01:10:11,545
- Yeah, I know. I heard about it.
- Yeah.
1443
01:10:17,784 --> 01:10:19,653
So, Doc...
1444
01:10:19,786 --> 01:10:23,557
you know we're the closest thing
to a father these boys have.
1445
01:10:23,690 --> 01:10:25,224
We gotta set an example.
1446
01:10:27,426 --> 01:10:30,429
You gotta have some dignity
and stop with this.
1447
01:10:30,564 --> 01:10:32,364
What we do, they'll do.
1448
01:10:33,900 --> 01:10:35,669
No more.
1449
01:10:35,802 --> 01:10:37,503
What the hell
are you doing that...
1450
01:10:37,637 --> 01:10:39,973
No, it's all right.
1451
01:10:40,107 --> 01:10:41,208
I mean it.
1452
01:10:43,442 --> 01:10:45,145
There you go.
1453
01:10:45,277 --> 01:10:46,646
You'll be okay.

1455
01:10:56,355 --> 01:10:59,559
You can tell a lot about a man
by the kind of shoes he wears.

01:10:59,693 --> 01:11:01,128
(urinal flushes)
1457
01:11:01,260 --> 01:11:02,996
What kind of man am I, Luther?
1458
01:11:04,430 --> 01:11:05,966
Oh...
1459
01:11:08,300 --> 01:11:12,438
You're the kind that wants
to be in charge, but ain't.
1460
01:11:12,572 --> 01:11:15,108
That's why you obsess
over your shiny shoes.
1461
01:11:15,242 --> 01:11:17,644
They make you feel important...
1462
01:11:17,778 --> 01:11:18,779
but you're not.
1463
01:11:18,912 --> 01:11:21,948
That's where
you're wrong, coach.
1464
01:11:22,082 --> 01:11:24,951
You see, 'cause what I have
in this folder
1465
01:11:25,085 --> 01:11:27,254
could affect your season.
1466
01:11:27,386 --> 01:11:30,891
If that's not important to you,
well, I don't know.

(muttering indistinctly)
1468
01:11:33,392 --> 01:11:36,263
Don't you want it?
Yeah, I guess he does.
1469
01:11:36,395 --> 01:11:40,567
Uh, I think that your
brother-in-law, Rodney Kidd,
1470
01:11:40,700 --> 01:11:42,869
will find that
intriguing as well.
1471
01:11:43,003 --> 01:11:45,205
- Is this legit, Frank?
- I don't think it's gonna
1472
01:11:45,337 --> 01:11:47,641
keep you from playing them
on Friday...
1473
01:11:47,774 --> 01:11:50,309
but it should be enough
to end their season.
1474
01:11:53,412 --> 01:11:54,781
What do you get out of this?
1475
01:11:54,915 --> 01:11:57,449
There's a new principal position
over at Poly.
1476
01:11:57,584 --> 01:12:00,486
Maybe I should finally
put these shoes to work.
1477
01:12:00,620 --> 01:12:02,889
(scatting and shoes tapping)
1478
01:12:03,023 --> 01:12:04,456

Well, coach thinks he's got

Uh, Poly thinks you got steel

You gotta take your shirt off.

Oh, you call what you're doing
playing? I call it cheating.
1521
01:14:02,776 --> 01:14:04,978
You're on the wrong side
of the field, Luther.
1522
01:14:05,111 --> 01:14:07,314
Get your damn hand off me,
you zebra.
1523
01:14:07,446 --> 01:14:10,650
Get back out there, son.
Playing great, playing great.
1524
01:14:10,784 --> 01:14:13,452
I want you to take that halfback
out of the game permanently.
1525
01:14:13,586 --> 01:14:14,788
- You hear me?
- Which one?
1526
01:14:14,921 --> 01:14:17,123
The one that's
been getting the ball.
1527
01:14:17,257 --> 01:14:18,625
- That one.
- I'll be kicked out.
1528
01:14:18,758 --> 01:14:21,895
Do I look like
I give a damn? Go.
1529
01:14:22,028 --> 01:14:23,495
Flat pass to Hardy on one.
1530
01:14:23,630 --> 01:14:25,565
No, give it to Fairbanks.
Show off for Opal.
1531
01:14:25,699 --> 01:14:28,401
- He needs a little sugar tonight.
- Annie wants you to kiss her.
1532
01:14:28,535 --> 01:14:30,971
- (all chuckle)
- Okay, you lovebirds.
1533
01:14:31,104 --> 01:14:33,073
- To Fairbanks on one and...
- ALL: Break!
1534
01:14:33,206 --> 01:14:34,473
As the clock winds down,
1535
01:14:34,607 --> 01:14:36,076
the Mighty Mites have dominated
1536
01:14:36,209 --> 01:14:37,677
every level of the game today,
1537
01:14:37,811 --> 01:14:39,579
as they look to add
injury to insult
1538
01:14:39,713 --> 01:14:41,448
by running another play
on offense.
1539
01:14:41,581 --> 01:14:44,483
All right, create a wedge
and make a hole now.
1540
01:14:46,319 --> 01:14:48,655
Six-two, six-two!
1541
01:14:48,788 --> 01:14:49,789
Hike!
1542
01:14:58,798 --> 01:15:01,134
- (bone cracks)
- (screams)
1543
01:15:04,037 --> 01:15:05,238
Get your bag, Doc.
1544
01:15:05,372 --> 01:15:06,873
Why isn't he getting up?
1545
01:15:10,377 --> 01:15:12,812
- I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
- (fairbanks screams)
1546
01:15:12,946 --> 01:15:14,681
- My God.
- Folks, this doesn't look good,
1547
01:15:14,814 --> 01:15:17,350
as Coach Russell and Doc Hall
rush to his side.
1548
01:15:17,484 --> 01:15:19,019
- Doc, over here!
- Rusty: Hold on, son.
1549
01:15:19,152 --> 01:15:20,954
Hold on. Breathe, breathe.
1550
01:15:21,087 --> 01:15:23,823
- It's okay.
- We got a compound fracture.
1551
01:15:23,957 --> 01:15:26,292
Carlos, stretcher,
on the double!
1552
01:15:26,426 --> 01:15:29,029
Listen, son, we gotta get you
off the field in a hurry.
1553
01:15:29,162 --> 01:15:32,032
Here we go, gentlemen. Quickly.
1554
01:15:32,165 --> 01:15:33,566
On three.
1555
01:15:33,700 --> 01:15:35,969
- One, two, three.
- (screams)
1556
01:15:36,102 --> 01:15:39,873
- Okay. All right.
- (fairbanks groaning)
1557
01:15:40,006 --> 01:15:41,841
Chicken, bring my bag,
bring my bag.
1558
01:15:41,975 --> 01:15:43,209
Rusty:
One, two, three.
1559
01:15:43,343 --> 01:15:44,544
ALL:
Mighty Orphans!
1560
01:15:45,779 --> 01:15:47,680
(groans)
1561
01:15:47,814 --> 01:15:51,384
Doc: As national attention
bolstered the boys' morale,
1562
01:15:51,519 --> 01:15:55,021
it was a bittersweet moment
for the Mites.
1563
01:15:55,155 --> 01:15:59,527
Goliath may have fallen,
but not without its cost.
1564
01:15:59,659 --> 01:16:01,594
They were headed
to the state championship
1565
01:16:01,728 --> 01:16:03,630
with only 11 players.
1566
01:16:05,065 --> 01:16:07,600
"There's a new s-sheriff
in Fort Worth.
1567
01:16:07,734 --> 01:16:09,969
His name is R-R-Rusty Russell,
1568
01:16:10,103 --> 01:16:13,440
surrounded
by his 12 orphaned..."
1569
01:16:13,573 --> 01:16:16,042
- "Deputies."
- Thank you, heh.
1570
01:16:16,176 --> 01:16:18,912
"The Mites and their creative
new coach have orchestrated..."
1571
01:16:19,045 --> 01:16:20,580
"Orchestrated"?
What's that mean?
1572
01:16:20,713 --> 01:16:22,715
- Means we whipped their ass.
- (all laugh)
1573
01:16:22,849 --> 01:16:26,252
"...orchestrated a new
and exciting brand of football
1574
01:16:26,386 --> 01:16:28,221
- not seen before."
- Doc: All right, lads,
1575
01:16:28,354 --> 01:16:29,956
let's break the huddle.
1576
01:16:30,090 --> 01:16:32,592
Douglass needs his beauty rest.
Y'all got work to do.
1577
01:16:32,725 --> 01:16:34,060
- See you, buddy.
- Bye.
1578
01:16:34,194 --> 01:16:36,129
Take it easy.
1579
01:16:36,262 --> 01:16:40,300
You know, I should be
the one laying there.
1580
01:16:40,433 --> 01:16:41,901
Oh, hell, Hardy.
1581
01:16:42,035 --> 01:16:44,070
Then we wouldn't have a shot
at beating Amarillo.
1582
01:16:44,204 --> 01:16:46,806
Besides, Opal thinks
I'm a regular old war hero now.
1583
01:16:46,940 --> 01:16:49,375
Heh, you know I always have.
1584
01:16:49,510 --> 01:16:50,610
(chuckles softly)
1585
01:16:52,879 --> 01:16:54,614
All right, you two.
1586
01:16:54,747 --> 01:16:56,816
(girls giggling)
1587
01:17:05,492 --> 01:17:07,127
(whistles)
1588
01:17:12,632 --> 01:17:13,967
Fat-ass is coming.
1589
01:17:15,335 --> 01:17:18,138
(paddle tapping)
1590
01:17:20,807 --> 01:17:23,977
♫ ♫
1591
01:17:34,220 --> 01:17:36,956
You think you can fool me,
you little pervert?! Come here!
1592
01:17:37,090 --> 01:17:39,627
Come on, come on! Get up here!
Get up here!
1593
01:17:39,759 --> 01:17:43,296
Get in this room!
Get up against that wall!
1594
01:17:43,429 --> 01:17:45,633
- Snoggs: I'm sorry, Mr.... Unh!
- (paddle thudding)
1595
01:17:45,765 --> 01:17:48,334
- Frank: What do you got to say?
- I'm sorry, Mr. Wynn!
1596
01:17:48,468 --> 01:17:50,538
- I'm sorry, Mr....
- (paddle continues thumping)
1597
01:17:50,670 --> 01:17:53,673
(Snoggs groaning)
1598
01:17:53,806 --> 01:17:55,775
Frank:
There, that should do you.
1599
01:17:55,909 --> 01:17:59,245
(chuckles, then sighs)
1600
01:17:59,379 --> 01:18:02,182
Oh, I'm tired,
but a good kind of tired.
1601
01:18:02,315 --> 01:18:04,017
(Frank chuckles)
1602
01:18:04,150 --> 01:18:05,653
Gentlemen...
1603
01:18:05,785 --> 01:18:11,559
spying on the girls
will not be tolerated!
1604
01:18:13,793 --> 01:18:17,030
If I so much as hear a snivel
1605
01:18:17,163 --> 01:18:20,200
from one of you
motherless bastards,
1606
01:18:20,333 --> 01:18:24,237
you will all receive
a kiss from Bertha.
1607
01:18:24,370 --> 01:18:26,906
(paddle clanking on bed posts)
1608
01:18:27,040 --> 01:18:29,042
Music to my ears.
1609
01:18:37,717 --> 01:18:39,553
Is... Is he dead?
1610
01:18:39,687 --> 01:18:41,821
- Hey, Snoggs.
- Hey, Snoggs.
1611
01:18:41,955 --> 01:18:44,891
- Hey.
- (groaning softly)
1612
01:18:45,024 --> 01:18:46,392
Hardy, help.
1613
01:18:46,527 --> 01:18:48,662
Hey, Wheatie, go get Doc.
1614
01:18:48,795 --> 01:18:50,396
DeWitt, come here.
Pick up Snoggs,
1615
01:18:50,531 --> 01:18:53,399
carry him back to his bunk.
Take care of him.
1616
01:18:53,534 --> 01:18:54,602
Where you going?
1617
01:19:05,411 --> 01:19:07,146
Oh! What the...?
1618
01:19:07,280 --> 01:19:08,414
(grunts)
1619
01:19:08,549 --> 01:19:10,316
(groaning)
1620
01:19:14,053 --> 01:19:15,788
- You're gonna see how it feels!
- Wait!
1621
01:19:15,922 --> 01:19:17,790
(grunting)
1622
01:19:19,292 --> 01:19:20,994
(cries out)
1623
01:19:22,295 --> 01:19:23,896
You sorry sack of shit.
1624
01:19:24,931 --> 01:19:26,332
(sobbing)
1625
01:19:34,841 --> 01:19:37,076
(birds chirping)
1626
01:19:37,210 --> 01:19:39,580
(knocks on door)
1627
01:19:39,713 --> 01:19:40,614
Rusty:
Come in.
1628
01:19:41,715 --> 01:19:43,082
Hey, Dot.
1629
01:19:58,064 --> 01:20:00,433
(door opens)
1630
01:20:00,567 --> 01:20:02,368
- Rusty: You seen this?
- Doc: What?
1631
01:20:02,502 --> 01:20:03,836
"Orphan team is accused
1632
01:20:03,970 --> 01:20:06,674
of breaking numerous
state UIL regulations,
1633
01:20:06,806 --> 01:20:10,376
including age violations
and excessive practicing.
1634
01:20:10,511 --> 01:20:12,312
Therefore, the Polytechnic team
1635
01:20:12,445 --> 01:20:14,981
will advance to the Class A
state championship."
1636
01:20:15,114 --> 01:20:16,784
They can't do this.
1637
01:20:16,916 --> 01:20:19,819
- Sounds like they just did.
- Coach, they're kicking us out?
1638
01:20:22,690 --> 01:20:25,325
- What happened to you, Snoggs?
- Well, Mr. Wynn decided
1639
01:20:25,458 --> 01:20:27,226
to teach Leonard here a lesson.
1640
01:20:27,360 --> 01:20:29,462
He's just damn lucky
this boy's so tough.
1641
01:20:31,030 --> 01:20:33,166
He's a son of a bitch.
1642
01:20:33,299 --> 01:20:35,536
- Go on, son. You'll be fine.
- Yes, sir.
1643
01:20:37,904 --> 01:20:40,340
I want him found,
and I want him arrested!
1644
01:20:40,473 --> 01:20:41,941
Calm down, Frank.
1645
01:20:44,511 --> 01:20:47,113
I expect you'll
finally be firing this man.
1646
01:20:47,246 --> 01:20:50,116
Now, why would Bill
be doing something like that?
1647
01:20:50,249 --> 01:20:52,118
Where do I begin?
1648
01:20:52,251 --> 01:20:54,287
How about
stealing gate receipts?
1649
01:20:54,420 --> 01:20:58,024
How about running
a child labor camp for profit?
1650
01:20:58,157 --> 01:21:00,293
How about sending Snoggs
to the infirmary?
1651
01:21:00,426 --> 01:21:01,894
Think it's fair
to these children
1652
01:21:02,028 --> 01:21:04,364
that you fill them with hope
of unrealistic dreams?
1653
01:21:04,497 --> 01:21:05,998
I'm preparing them
for the real world.
1654
01:21:06,132 --> 01:21:09,902
And how many of your Mites
are gonna use football
1655
01:21:10,036 --> 01:21:13,507
while they're working on
a factory floor in six months?
1656
01:21:13,640 --> 01:21:17,443
You beat a boy so badly
he couldn't walk.
1657
01:21:17,578 --> 01:21:20,714
Now, hold on. Snoggs was caught
spying on the girls' dorm,
1658
01:21:20,848 --> 01:21:21,749
- Coach Russell.
- Right.
1659
01:21:21,881 --> 01:21:23,449
Yeah, he's a 16-year-old boy.
1660
01:21:23,584 --> 01:21:24,785
What do you expect?
1661
01:21:24,917 --> 01:21:26,452
I expect everyone to follow
1662
01:21:26,587 --> 01:21:27,855
the damn rules of the home,
1663
01:21:27,987 --> 01:21:30,223
including Hardy Brown!
1664
01:21:30,356 --> 01:21:33,192
He retaliated
with violence against Frank.
1665
01:21:33,326 --> 01:21:35,729
(sighs)
Damn it, now he's missing.
1666
01:21:35,863 --> 01:21:37,865
The little bastard attacked me.
1667
01:21:37,997 --> 01:21:39,600
Now, if he sets foot
on this property,
1668
01:21:39,733 --> 01:21:41,869
I will see to it
that he's arrested.
1669
01:21:42,001 --> 01:21:43,537
That he's arrested?
1670
01:21:43,670 --> 01:21:45,539
Assault...
1671
01:21:45,672 --> 01:21:48,675
on one of my staff members is
ground for immediate expulsion.
1672
01:21:48,809 --> 01:21:51,043
This is supposed to be a place
1673
01:21:51,177 --> 01:21:53,946
to nurture
the broken and the weak,
1674
01:21:54,080 --> 01:21:56,115
the ones with nothing left.
1675
01:21:56,249 --> 01:21:59,787
You throw this boy away,
you break the foundation
1676
01:21:59,919 --> 01:22:02,188
of why we're even here
to begin with.
1677
01:22:04,157 --> 01:22:06,459
When are you gonna stand up
for these children
1678
01:22:06,593 --> 01:22:08,261
and do what's right?
1679
01:22:08,394 --> 01:22:12,165
Well, judging
by this morning's paper, coach,
1680
01:22:12,298 --> 01:22:15,101
you're the last person
who should be pointing fingers.
1681
01:22:15,234 --> 01:22:17,003
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
1682
01:22:17,136 --> 01:22:19,972
I think you're just smart enough
to know what I think of you.
1683
01:22:20,106 --> 01:22:22,308
Yeah. Bye-bye.
1684
01:22:23,976 --> 01:22:26,747
They're jeopardizing
everything we built up!
1685
01:22:28,147 --> 01:22:29,982
It's time for this to end.
1686
01:22:32,553 --> 01:22:34,855
Everything we've worked for...
1687
01:22:36,255 --> 01:22:38,458
and sacrificed...
1688
01:22:38,592 --> 01:22:40,460
it's been reduced to nothing.
1689
01:22:45,632 --> 01:22:47,266
Nothing?
1690
01:22:48,468 --> 01:22:50,102
I think this is something.
1691
01:22:51,738 --> 01:22:53,239
What is that?
1692
01:22:53,372 --> 01:22:55,742
Oh, this?
This is just your fan mail.
1693
01:22:55,876 --> 01:22:57,243
Been over there for two weeks,
1694
01:22:57,376 --> 01:22:59,847
but you've been too busy
to notice anything.
1695
01:22:59,979 --> 01:23:03,517
Dayton, Fort Worth, Austin,
1696
01:23:03,650 --> 01:23:06,285
Chicago, Los Angeles.
1697
01:23:06,419 --> 01:23:10,122
Courage, hope,
inspiration, dedication.
1698
01:23:10,256 --> 01:23:12,191
All the things that you
and your boys have given
1699
01:23:12,325 --> 01:23:14,862
to thousands of people
who now believe in something.
1700
01:23:17,497 --> 01:23:19,465
You think all this is nothing?
1701
01:23:23,336 --> 01:23:25,471
I think it's quite something.
1702
01:23:25,606 --> 01:23:28,140
♫ ♫
1703
01:24:03,476 --> 01:24:05,579
Wheatie: You weren't gonna tell
us, coach?
1704
01:24:07,146 --> 01:24:08,549
Them lying sumbitches think
1705
01:24:08,682 --> 01:24:10,684
we're gonna lie down
without a fight?
1706
01:24:11,852 --> 01:24:13,119
Where's Hardy?
1707
01:24:14,420 --> 01:24:15,722
We gotta find him.
1708
01:24:17,256 --> 01:24:19,960
Think I might know
where he's at. Yeah.
1709
01:24:25,431 --> 01:24:27,601
Rusty:
When I woke up in the hospital,
1710
01:24:27,734 --> 01:24:30,069
after the Battle
of Saint-Mihiel,
1711
01:24:30,202 --> 01:24:32,104
they told me
I'd never see again.
1712
01:24:34,841 --> 01:24:37,711
And all I could think about...
1713
01:24:37,844 --> 01:24:40,781
was how my brother looked
when he died,
1714
01:24:40,914 --> 01:24:44,051
and seeing the light
fade from his eyes.
1715
01:24:44,183 --> 01:24:47,020
So I'd try and think back
on all the good times we had,
1716
01:24:47,153 --> 01:24:50,256
when we were kids, with Mother.
1717
01:24:50,389 --> 01:24:54,027
But then I'd think
about how she'd react
1718
01:24:54,160 --> 01:24:59,700
when I finally found her
and told her how he died.
1719
01:24:59,833 --> 01:25:03,604
And I had to fight
to keep the good thoughts in...
1720
01:25:05,371 --> 01:25:07,074
and the bad thoughts out.
1721
01:25:08,742 --> 01:25:10,409
What's your point, coach?
1722
01:25:11,444 --> 01:25:12,846
My point, son...
1723
01:25:17,551 --> 01:25:18,952
is that you can't give up.
1724
01:25:19,086 --> 01:25:21,320
You gotta believe.
1725
01:25:21,454 --> 01:25:23,289
Without hope...
1726
01:25:23,422 --> 01:25:26,793
fear and anger...
1727
01:25:26,927 --> 01:25:29,630
they'll continue to dominate you
through violence.
1728
01:25:29,763 --> 01:25:32,032
Sure gets cheers at games.
1729
01:25:32,164 --> 01:25:35,969
At games, sure, but not in life.
1730
01:25:36,103 --> 01:25:38,772
It won't let you see what's
out there in front of you:
1731
01:25:38,905 --> 01:25:42,441
your talent, your intelligence.
1732
01:25:42,576 --> 01:25:44,343
Now, don't throw all that away
1733
01:25:44,477 --> 01:25:46,345
because you're blinded
by the past.
1734
01:25:48,048 --> 01:25:51,018
I saw my daddy...
1735
01:25:51,150 --> 01:25:54,286
shot and killed before my eyes,
standing right there.
1736
01:25:56,288 --> 01:25:57,824
Blew him in half.
1737
01:26:00,393 --> 01:26:02,495
Dead before he hit the ground.
1738
01:26:04,296 --> 01:26:07,299
You can't just forget that
because you want to.
1739
01:26:07,433 --> 01:26:10,169
Terrible things happen in life.
1740
01:26:10,302 --> 01:26:12,471
You and I know that firsthand.
1741
01:26:14,741 --> 01:26:16,208
But you gotta learn
to accept it.
1742
01:26:16,342 --> 01:26:17,511
Like your war?
1743
01:26:18,712 --> 01:26:19,913
Huh?
1744
01:26:22,516 --> 01:26:25,886
I've seen you cower
like a trembling baby.
1745
01:26:26,019 --> 01:26:28,487
It's got its hooks
in you still.
1746
01:26:28,622 --> 01:26:30,090
It ain't a choice.
1747
01:26:31,858 --> 01:26:33,560
It's like a sickness.
1748
01:26:35,162 --> 01:26:38,165
I told Mom
that Dad had been shot...
1749
01:26:39,700 --> 01:26:43,036
and all she did
was pack her bags...
1750
01:26:43,170 --> 01:26:45,939
and say
she don't want me no more.
1751
01:26:46,073 --> 01:26:49,475
Why would any mama
say that to her boy?
1752
01:26:49,609 --> 01:26:52,478
It wasn't my fault.
I didn't kill him. I...
1753
01:26:52,612 --> 01:26:53,914
I was trying...
1754
01:26:56,516 --> 01:26:58,752
(sobbing)
It wasn't my fault, coach.
1755
01:27:09,663 --> 01:27:11,397
No, it's not your fault,
1756
01:27:11,531 --> 01:27:14,735
and maybe running was all
that she knew how to do.
1757
01:27:18,538 --> 01:27:20,707
And you got a family now.
1758
01:27:20,841 --> 01:27:22,542
These boys...
1759
01:27:22,676 --> 01:27:26,580
they're your brothers,
and they're counting on you.
1760
01:27:29,049 --> 01:27:31,383
I'm counting on you.
1761
01:27:31,518 --> 01:27:33,787
Wheatie:
We need you, Hardy.
1762
01:27:33,920 --> 01:27:35,387
Soon as y'all done hugging,
1763
01:27:35,522 --> 01:27:36,923
we got some
administrative butt to whup
1764
01:27:37,057 --> 01:27:38,658
before we head to Amarillo.
1765
01:27:38,792 --> 01:27:40,761
(chuckles sharply)
1766
01:27:40,894 --> 01:27:41,895
Let's go.
1767
01:27:52,072 --> 01:27:54,306
POP: They've proven
theirselves against all odds,
1768
01:27:54,440 --> 01:27:57,744
and to get booted like they did,
chickenshit.
1769
01:27:57,878 --> 01:27:59,579
What you think is going on?
1770
01:27:59,713 --> 01:28:02,481
What's a hell of a coincidence
is that Luther Scarborough...
1771
01:28:02,616 --> 01:28:04,283
His brother-in-law
is Rodney Kidd,
1772
01:28:04,416 --> 01:28:06,987
who is president of the UIL.
1773
01:28:07,120 --> 01:28:10,824
- Something don't smell right.
- That couldn't be more obvious.
1774
01:28:10,957 --> 01:28:12,826
Make a hell of a headline
for one of us.
1775
01:28:12,959 --> 01:28:15,128
What do you think
about being more discreet?
1776
01:28:16,730 --> 01:28:18,732
When's the last time
you been fishing?
1777
01:28:18,865 --> 01:28:20,332
(chuckles)
1778
01:28:20,466 --> 01:28:23,970
♫ ♫
1779
01:28:24,104 --> 01:28:26,472
Been a while.
1780
01:28:26,606 --> 01:28:29,109
NEWSREEL ANNOUNCER: In a ruling
that shocked football fans,
1781
01:28:29,242 --> 01:28:32,212
the Mighty Mites were suspended
from the championship.
1782
01:28:32,344 --> 01:28:35,115
I feel confident that we will be
cleared of any wrongdoing.
1783
01:28:35,248 --> 01:28:39,152
The only thing mighty
about Coach Russell's Mites
1784
01:28:39,286 --> 01:28:42,889
is they got 12-month football
going on at that orphanage.
1785
01:28:43,023 --> 01:28:45,959
Plenty of rule-bending
going on to disqualify.
1786
01:28:46,092 --> 01:28:47,894
The Star-Telegram
are urging readers
1787
01:28:48,028 --> 01:28:51,198
to display the number 12 in
support of the Orphan players.
1788
01:28:51,330 --> 01:28:53,834
Letters of support
are pouring in.
1789
01:28:53,967 --> 01:28:57,336
Gentlemen,
I thank you for your time.
1790
01:28:57,469 --> 01:28:59,272
Great...
1791
01:28:59,405 --> 01:29:00,774
Gotta get back to my team.
1792
01:29:00,907 --> 01:29:02,876
Get the hell out.
I got practice.
1793
01:29:05,846 --> 01:29:10,283
Rodney: Harden Henry Brown,
born September 4th, 1920,
1794
01:29:10,416 --> 01:29:13,119
is deemed ineligible to compete
at the high school level,
1795
01:29:13,253 --> 01:29:15,188
thus forfeiting
the entire year of wins
1796
01:29:15,322 --> 01:29:17,489
for the Masonic Home
football team,
1797
01:29:17,624 --> 01:29:19,659
rendering the team
suspended from the league
1798
01:29:19,793 --> 01:29:21,360
and out of the championship.
1799
01:29:21,493 --> 01:29:24,998
Mr. Kidd, Hardy Brown's
not over age, sir.
1800
01:29:25,131 --> 01:29:28,268
According to his official birth
certificate, I beg to differ.
1801
01:29:28,400 --> 01:29:30,170
(quietly)
Coach, that is not mine.
1802
01:29:30,303 --> 01:29:31,771
May I take a look at that?
1803
01:29:31,905 --> 01:29:33,773
- Be my guest.
- Thank you.
1804
01:29:33,907 --> 01:29:36,209
(Rusty clears throat)
1805
01:29:36,343 --> 01:29:38,845
Hardy, would you
come up here, son?
1806
01:29:44,217 --> 01:29:46,186
Is this your birth certificate?
1807
01:29:49,556 --> 01:29:50,757
That's not mine, sir.
1808
01:29:50,891 --> 01:29:53,425
Well, son, whose is it,
1809
01:29:53,560 --> 01:29:55,427
if your name's
Harden Henry Brown?
1810
01:29:57,731 --> 01:29:59,498
That was my older brother.
1811
01:29:59,633 --> 01:30:01,768
He died
a week after he was born.
1812
01:30:01,902 --> 01:30:05,504
They named him Harden
Henry Brown II, after my dad.
1813
01:30:05,639 --> 01:30:11,044
I'm Harden Henry Brown III,
born December 4th, 1921.
1814
01:30:11,177 --> 01:30:12,779
Mr. Kidd,
may I have a word please?
1815
01:30:12,913 --> 01:30:14,114
What the hell you doing?
1816
01:30:14,247 --> 01:30:15,782
This young man's
telling the truth,
1817
01:30:15,916 --> 01:30:18,218
and I have the appropriate
certificate to prove that.
1818
01:30:18,351 --> 01:30:21,788
County clerk sent me
the wrong one by mistake,
1819
01:30:21,922 --> 01:30:24,658
and I realized it
when I found this...
1820
01:30:24,791 --> 01:30:26,927
the brother's death certificate.
1821
01:30:27,060 --> 01:30:28,962
Whoever snuck you
this other document,
1822
01:30:29,095 --> 01:30:30,330
they made the same mistake.
1823
01:30:30,462 --> 01:30:32,431
I think we've heard
just about enough,
1824
01:30:32,565 --> 01:30:34,100
and especially from you.
1825
01:30:34,234 --> 01:30:37,103
We should've shut this down
a long time ago, but we are now.
1826
01:30:37,237 --> 01:30:39,072
My decision is final!
1827
01:30:39,205 --> 01:30:41,408
The Mighty Mites
are out of Class A football!
1828
01:30:41,541 --> 01:30:43,677
- What?
- Bullshit! We have proof!
1829
01:30:43,810 --> 01:30:47,747
Mr. Kidd, my players come
from broken families, sir,
1830
01:30:47,881 --> 01:30:49,950
or no family at all.
1831
01:30:50,083 --> 01:30:52,152
They haven't had
much opportunity.
1832
01:30:52,285 --> 01:30:54,020
They haven't been
as lucky as you.
1833
01:30:54,154 --> 01:30:58,291
So if you need to suspend
somebody, suspend me.
1834
01:30:58,425 --> 01:31:00,327
Kick me out of coaching.
1835
01:31:04,798 --> 01:31:08,668
But don't take away
the hope of these boys here.
1836
01:31:08,802 --> 01:31:10,469
It's all they've got.
1837
01:31:12,939 --> 01:31:16,109
- That's a heartfelt statement.
- It really is.
1838
01:31:16,242 --> 01:31:19,012
However, we have to draw the
line somewhere. Now, I don't...
1839
01:31:19,145 --> 01:31:21,414
Can you not see
that I'm in a hearing now?
1840
01:31:21,548 --> 01:31:22,816
(whispers)
It sounds important.
1841
01:31:22,949 --> 01:31:24,451
I don't care
if it's the damn president.
1842
01:31:24,584 --> 01:31:25,819
Sir, it is the president.
1843
01:31:25,952 --> 01:31:28,722
- Rodney: What do you mean?
- The president.
1844
01:31:28,855 --> 01:31:30,890
Okay, I'll be out in a minute.
1845
01:31:33,526 --> 01:31:35,161
Just a moment, gentlemen.
1846
01:31:40,300 --> 01:31:43,470
Ahem. Sir, this is...
This is Rodney Kidd.
1847
01:31:43,603 --> 01:31:47,474
Roosevelt: Mr. Kidd,
you have probably heard me say:
1848
01:31:47,607 --> 01:31:49,309
"The only thing to fear...
1849
01:31:49,442 --> 01:31:52,545
is fear itself."
1850
01:31:53,980 --> 01:31:56,149
Mr. President, yes, sir, I have.
1851
01:31:56,282 --> 01:31:59,853
The allegations against
the Mites seem to benefit,
1852
01:31:59,986 --> 01:32:02,722
shall we say, other teams.
1853
01:32:02,856 --> 01:32:05,792
I am certain that you
and your brother-in-law
1854
01:32:05,925 --> 01:32:11,631
over at Polytechnic High
favor the Mites ejection.
1855
01:32:11,765 --> 01:32:13,366
Wouldn't you agree?
1856
01:32:13,500 --> 01:32:16,069
♫ ♫
1857
01:32:28,982 --> 01:32:30,450
(clears throat)
1858
01:32:34,187 --> 01:32:36,189
After careful consideration...
1859
01:32:39,025 --> 01:32:44,864
the decision to remove the
Masonic... Home from Class A...
1860
01:32:46,232 --> 01:32:48,868
- has been overturned.
- (crowd murmuring)
1861
01:32:49,002 --> 01:32:51,905
The Mighty Mites will be
in the championship after all.

Aah!

01:33:10,924 --> 01:33:12,692
The Mites are going to state!

I'm so proud of you.

- Well, we haven't won yet.
- You have in my book.

Uh, yes, sir?
1874
01:33:50,797 --> 01:33:52,699
Well, goddang, son!
1875
01:33:52,832 --> 01:33:54,134
Good luck in Amarillo.
1876
01:33:54,267 --> 01:33:56,336
- We're counting on you boys.
- Thank you.
1877
01:33:56,469 --> 01:33:57,937
These boys are going
to state, counselor.
1878
01:33:58,071 --> 01:34:01,708
- Yes, sir.
- They gonna kick Sandie butt.

(sighs)
1880
01:34:08,715 --> 01:34:11,151
Franklin Harry Wynn,
you're under arrest...
1881
01:34:11,284 --> 01:34:12,752
- Red?
- ...for the violation
1882
01:34:12,886 --> 01:34:15,989
of child labor laws 232 and 241,
1883
01:34:16,122 --> 01:34:18,858
embezzlement
and abuse of a minor.
1884
01:34:18,992 --> 01:34:20,927
Red, I've known you
for 30 years.
1885
01:34:21,060 --> 01:34:22,695
What are you doing?
1886
01:34:22,829 --> 01:34:25,599
There's no evidence of me
doing anything wrong.
1887
01:34:27,400 --> 01:34:30,136
- That's it.
- Red, now, come on.
1888
01:34:30,270 --> 01:34:32,005
Give me a break. I mean...

You filthy weasel!

01:34:52,825 --> 01:34:56,362
I told you there was gonna be
some changes around here, Frank.
1892
01:34:56,496 --> 01:34:59,999
You know,
that's music to m-m-my ears.
1893
01:35:00,133 --> 01:35:01,501
BILL:
Have a good game, Doc.
1894
01:35:01,635 --> 01:35:03,604
- Thank you.
- See you when we get back.

(crowd cheering)
1896
01:35:06,773 --> 01:35:08,875
Doc: As the black
cloud of the Depression
1897
01:35:09,008 --> 01:35:10,476
loomed over the nation,
1898
01:35:10,611 --> 01:35:13,046
it certainly didn't stop
the true believers
1899
01:35:13,179 --> 01:35:16,584
from following the Mites
all the way to Amarillo.

♫ ♫
1901
01:35:31,998 --> 01:35:35,368
The Mites were a symbol
of inspiration for everyone.
1902
01:35:35,501 --> 01:35:38,037
They were devotion.
They were hope.
1903
01:35:38,171 --> 01:35:41,874
They were the belief that
winning lives within the heart.
1904
01:35:45,912 --> 01:35:47,780
Halftime at Amarillo.
1905
01:35:47,914 --> 01:35:52,586
That's right, halftime, because
the first half wasn't pretty.
1906
01:35:52,720 --> 01:35:55,656
But somehow my defense
was able to hold the Sandies
1907
01:35:55,788 --> 01:35:57,625
to just one touchdown.
1908
01:36:03,429 --> 01:36:06,266
I swear to God,
I'm gonna knock his teeth in.

- Snoggs: Hurts like hell, Doc.
- Doc: All right. Sit down there.
1910
01:36:09,703 --> 01:36:12,872
Close your eyes.
Here we go. Okay.
1911
01:36:15,775 --> 01:36:18,778
- Hey, you want to block?
- You'll tell me a block?
1912
01:36:18,911 --> 01:36:20,880
- We're losing because of you!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
1913
01:36:21,014 --> 01:36:22,415
I don't know why
you can't block more!
1914
01:36:22,549 --> 01:36:24,083
- Don't touch me!
- You haven't done shit!
1915
01:36:24,217 --> 01:36:25,653
Neither have you, Wheatie!
1916
01:36:25,785 --> 01:36:27,153
I can't attack
unless y'all protect!
1917
01:36:27,287 --> 01:36:30,223
Get your ass out there
so I can hand it to you!
1918
01:36:30,356 --> 01:36:32,392
Coach, Miller's leg.
1919
01:36:32,526 --> 01:36:35,461
- Rusty: Put that on.
- Maybe we ought to think
1920
01:36:35,596 --> 01:36:37,997
about calling this game
right now.
1921
01:36:38,131 --> 01:36:41,134
There's no dishonor
in making sure that these lads
1922
01:36:41,267 --> 01:36:43,537
don't get hurt anymore.
Think about Fairbanks.
1923
01:36:43,671 --> 01:36:46,873
Don't matter how hard we try,
we don't stand a chance.
1924
01:36:47,006 --> 01:36:49,842
- They ain't playing fair.
- Hardy, you haven't said a word.
1925
01:36:49,976 --> 01:36:52,378
Carlos: They're killing us.
They're too damn big.

A.P.:
He's crying like a baby.
1932
01:37:13,333 --> 01:37:15,001
Wheatie: Leave Chicken alone!
Such a baby!
1933
01:37:15,134 --> 01:37:17,503
CHICKEN: Scrap of coal
would've done better than you!
1934
01:37:17,638 --> 01:37:18,938
A.P.:
Getting our butt handed to us.
1935
01:37:19,072 --> 01:37:21,274
- Shut up, A.P.!
- Shut up and hike the ball.
1936
01:37:21,407 --> 01:37:23,309
I'm a mighty warrior!

(Hardy breathing heavily)
1939
01:37:37,423 --> 01:37:39,660
I am a mighty warrior.
1940
01:37:43,463 --> 01:37:44,997
I never said it.
1941
01:37:49,068 --> 01:37:50,537
I didn't believe it.
1942
01:37:52,038 --> 01:37:53,507
Didn't believe in y'all.
1943
01:37:54,675 --> 01:37:56,109
In this team.

♫ ♫
1945
01:38:00,980 --> 01:38:03,015
I never believed in myself.
1946
01:38:04,183 --> 01:38:05,385
But now I do.
1947
01:38:06,587 --> 01:38:08,888
Now I know what that means...
1948
01:38:10,022 --> 01:38:11,759
because of all of you,
1949
01:38:11,891 --> 01:38:15,027
because of everything
each one of you has taught me.
1950
01:38:15,161 --> 01:38:17,731
I look around this room
and I don't see a bunch of...
1951
01:38:19,700 --> 01:38:22,669
a bunch of throwaway orphans
like everyone else does.
1952
01:38:23,871 --> 01:38:24,772
I see fighters.
1953
01:38:26,507 --> 01:38:28,575
I see guys that never give up!
1954
01:38:28,709 --> 01:38:31,944
And it makes me so damn proud
to be an Orphan.
1955
01:38:33,547 --> 01:38:35,014
Y'all think you're in pain now?
1956
01:38:35,148 --> 01:38:36,349
Think about Fairbanks.
1957
01:38:36,482 --> 01:38:38,552
He'll never play ball again.
1958
01:38:38,685 --> 01:38:40,253
That's real pain.
1959
01:38:42,155 --> 01:38:43,956
Ours is temporary.
1960
01:38:47,628 --> 01:38:51,330
"No man will hurl me down
to Death, against my fate.
1961
01:38:52,900 --> 01:38:56,603
And fate? No one alive
has ever escaped it,
1962
01:38:56,737 --> 01:38:59,640
neither brave man, nor coward...
1963
01:39:02,208 --> 01:39:06,145
I tell you... it is born with us
the day that we are born!"
1964
01:39:07,781 --> 01:39:09,148
We got another half
1965
01:39:09,282 --> 01:39:11,150
to kick those Sandie asses!
1966
01:39:11,284 --> 01:39:13,654
Now get in here!
Everyone, come on!
1967
01:39:16,088 --> 01:39:17,256
Mites on three.
1968
01:39:18,892 --> 01:39:21,394

- What do you think?
- I think we need a miracle.
1973
01:40:13,680 --> 01:40:15,314
The Mites start the second half,
1974
01:40:15,448 --> 01:40:17,851
trailing the Amarillo Sandies,
7 to nothing.
1975
01:40:17,985 --> 01:40:20,453
And they've also
changed uniforms, folks.
1976
01:40:20,587 --> 01:40:24,156
I've been told these jerseys
were sewn together
1977
01:40:24,290 --> 01:40:26,392
and the numbers were painted on
1978
01:40:26,527 --> 01:40:28,529
by the young ladies
at the orphanage.
1979
01:40:28,662 --> 01:40:31,163
Turn that damn thing off!
1980
01:40:31,297 --> 01:40:32,566
Pipe down in there, Frank!
1981
01:40:35,034 --> 01:40:36,737
Six-two, split! Hike!
1982
01:40:42,174 --> 01:40:44,176
Snoggs has gotta
shuffle that guy off.
1983
01:40:44,310 --> 01:40:45,546

(crowd groans)
1987
01:40:56,255 --> 01:40:58,692
- Come on, boys!
- For the first time,
1988
01:40:58,825 --> 01:41:00,961
the Mites' innovative
passing offense
1989
01:41:01,093 --> 01:41:03,362
is having minimal effect
against the Sandies.
1990
01:41:03,496 --> 01:41:06,365
Coach Russell will need to go
into his bag of tricks
1991
01:41:06,499 --> 01:41:07,634
- to pull this off.
- Hike!
1992
01:41:13,607 --> 01:41:14,875
- Come on! Come on!
- Go!
1993
01:41:15,008 --> 01:41:16,442
Go, go, go.
1994
01:41:21,748 --> 01:41:24,083
- Touchdown for the Mites.
- (crowd cheering)
1995
01:41:28,922 --> 01:41:30,624
What is going on?
1996
01:41:34,061 --> 01:41:35,696
- Yeah!
- And there you have it,
1997
01:41:35,829 --> 01:41:37,931
the Mites are finally
on the scoreboard
1998
01:41:38,065 --> 01:41:41,034
as number 23,
Douglass Lord Fairbanks,
1999
01:41:41,167 --> 01:41:42,869
takes it in for the touchdown.
2000
01:41:44,071 --> 01:41:46,439
(both chuckling)
2001
01:41:46,573 --> 01:41:48,107
I thought Fairbanks was injured.
2002
01:41:48,240 --> 01:41:50,176
That's Hardy Brown
in Fairbanks' uniform.
2003
01:41:50,309 --> 01:41:52,512
How about we double that bet?
Fifty more on the Mites.
2004
01:41:52,646 --> 01:41:54,514
- You're on.
- Damn right, I am.
2005
01:41:56,650 --> 01:41:58,250
(crowd groans and whistle blows)
2006
01:41:58,384 --> 01:41:59,418
Extra point no good.
2007
01:41:59,553 --> 01:42:02,288
Mites 6, Sandies 7.
2008
01:42:02,421 --> 01:42:03,657
WOMAN:
Good try, boys!
2009
01:42:03,790 --> 01:42:06,359
Yeah. We're proud
of you anyways, guys.
2010
01:42:06,492 --> 01:42:07,961
- POPS: Pound for pound?
- Yeah.
2011
01:42:08,095 --> 01:42:10,697
- I'll take Brown over Greathouse.
- Well, I'll take him too.
2012
01:42:10,831 --> 01:42:12,331
But you know
how he's gotta do it?
2013
01:42:12,465 --> 01:42:14,266
He's gotta hit him as low
as he can, that guy.
2014
01:42:14,400 --> 01:42:17,169
He's gotta bite off each of his
kneecaps first time he hits him,
2015
01:42:17,303 --> 01:42:19,338
because that guy's
three times taller than Hardy.
2016
01:42:19,472 --> 01:42:20,707
Hike!
2017
01:42:25,444 --> 01:42:29,116
Another bone-jarring collision
between Brown and Greathouse.
2018
01:42:29,248 --> 01:42:33,252
I'm not sure how those young
men can get up after that.
2019
01:42:33,386 --> 01:42:34,855
Get up, boys. Come on.
2020
01:42:37,423 --> 01:42:39,826
Son of a bitch is harder
to take down than a steer.
2021
01:42:39,960 --> 01:42:41,962
As the fourth quarter
winds down,
2022
01:42:42,095 --> 01:42:44,330
the Mites are
against the ropes.
2023
01:42:44,463 --> 01:42:48,200
Perhaps there's a miraculous
ending for the Mites.
2024
01:42:48,334 --> 01:42:49,502
ALL:
Break!
2025
01:42:54,141 --> 01:42:55,809
Set. Hike!
2026
01:42:58,145 --> 01:43:00,246
- (crowd cheers)
- Fumble!
2027
01:43:03,449 --> 01:43:05,886

We still got one more time-out.

Short pass to Hardy out

- Yes, sir.
- All right. Take it in, son.
