I won't kill him.

Thank you.

Can I ask you something? Like...

Did you just use me

to drive you around...

To do this, or...

Did you actually... Like...

Did you even care about me at all?

I've met a lot of people in my life.

But I never met anybody like you.

It's been an honor.

Hey, Ashby.

Just so you know...

I think what you did was wrong.

Young fella.

I'll just take that.

Entwistle, two sugars, right?

Well, Ashby.

What a surprise.

You hear Pete got clipped?

I did.

Probably screwed around

with the wrong guy's wife.

He didn't deserve to die.

- Garret Hughes.

- Well...

What do we know about him? I mean,

really what do we know about him?

Maybe he was a pedophile.

Liked young kids,

young boys, young girls, you don't know.

What are you, God? You Moses?

You have a tablet? You have a ledger?

You know,

you've always been

a self-righteous prick.

We kill people.

That's what we do.

For our country.

Bullshit.

You like killing people.

We all did.

He was just another one.

You remember these?

Cuba.

If only Fidel drank tea.

I believe freedom

needs to be protected.

And costs will be borne.

And scumbags like you

will highjack that.

And just grab it for a big house

and a big pool.

It's just a green sticker.

It's not poison.

I'd love to kill you.

But I promised somebody I wouldn't.

I think you might want to check

Mr. Entwistle's undergarments.

For your half-time entertainment,

please welcome

The Varga Marching Band.

Avert your eyes, that's right.

For the boys of the past are

looking at you

and thinking to themselves

"Where are these boys' brains?"

"Where are these boys' hearts?"

We need you to think about that.

F*** them.

Excuse me.

What did you say?

I said...

F*** 'em.

F*** 'em! F*** 'em! F*** 'em!

F*** 'em! F*** 'em! F*** 'em!

You know what? F*** these guys.

Is this, this guys's f***ing game? No.

This is our game. Ours! So, f*** 'em.

Yeah, f*** them!

F*** them!

So, stand up!

And no offense to coaches

but f*** you too.

F*** you!

- Are we scared?

- No!

- Are we scared?

- No!

Who are we?

I don't know either.

- I don't. Let's go find out.

- Let's go!

Hey. Hey, just so you know,

I'm coming through you

for the touchdown.

Just so you're prepared.

I don't want you to have any excuses.

Okay?

Okay.

You okay?

- You should... You good?

- Yeah.

Let's go. Let's go.

No need for a song and dance.

Thirty-eight, go deep on three.

One, two, three, right.

Here we go, folks.

We are tied.

Ten seconds left on the clock.

Come on!

Hell of a play, son.

Nice catch.

You better be coming over here

to kiss me.

I am.

You know, my wife and I...

We used to walk through here

every morning.

It'd all be forest.

All of a sudden, just...

Voila.

Ashby! Ashby!

Ashby!

Ashby.

Ashby.

Ashby!

Keys are for the car which is now yours.

I mean, you practically stripped

the gears anyway.

The will you are to execute,

I know it's an odd choice of words

today of all days.

Garret Hughes.

His heirs are to get all my assets.

Then in my flesh, I shall see God.

Whom I shall see on my side,

my eyes shall behold and not another.

Word of the Lord.

Go in peace.

I guess, Eddy I should say

something profound.

These being my last words

more or less.

I got nothing.

Well, I guess...

Be careful of what

and who you believe in.

Find someone that you love fiercely.

And who loves you back the same way.

And you treat them well.

And you know it's of value.

You look so pretty.

Also,

you shouldn't be scared of the world,

Ed Wallis.

I kind of suspect

the world should be scared of you.
