Gridiron Gang Page #3

Get your feet pumpin'.

Feet pumpin'. You got pride.

Bend your knees.

Damn.

Concentrate. Focus.

- Little lower, Bates.

- Bend your knees.

You up for the challenge, Bates?

Good job. Thatta boy.

All right, Bug, let's get a water break. Bug.

All right, good job. Bring it in.

Hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Y'all don't behave, y'all gonna die of thirst.

Y'all got that?

All right?

Hey, hey, I gotta do it, I gotta do it.

Here y'all go, here y'all go. All right, now.

Y'all doin' good out there,

that's what I like to see.

M-U-S-T-A-N-G-S!

Mustangs! Mustangs! Mustangs!

Come on, bring it! Hustle.

Touch that line and get back!

Way to go, Leon! Think you got that!

You ain't cheatin' me,

you're cheatin' yourself. Behind the line.

- Let's go!

- All the way through.

Come on, Weathers! Hustle!

Get down here, Weathers! Good job!

Good job. Now, get back!

Good hustle, come on!

Come on, Weathers. Come on.

All the way through, Willie!

Come on, Kelvin. Get 'im!

Look at you go, Evans! I like that! I like it!

Touch the line!

Evans, this is wind sprints, not wind walks.

All the way through, Evans.

Come on, come on. Come on.

- I'm too tired.

- You're too tired, my ass. You're too lazy.

But that's gonna change. I promise you

that's gonna change, come on.

Come on, back in line.

Through the line, Evans.

Man, I quit, dawg.

I had enough of this sh*t, man.

Y'all niggas is trippin'.

Five hundred degrees

and y'all doin' wind sprints?

If you can't accept the challenge,

then you're not good enough to call

yourself a Mustang, Evans. You hear me?

You wanna come back out here,

we'll be out here workin' our asses off.

You wanna come back out, make sure you

bring a heart with you next time.

What's everybody lookin' at?

Who else wants to quit?

Come on, Bates. We're almost done, Bates.

Don't quit on me.

Hand on the line. On my whistle.

All the way through,

touch the line and get back.

Come on, Bates. This is where we

win the game, in the fourth quarter.

You will be mentally tough

when this is done.

All right, bring it in.

Great practice, great practice.

Way to work, way to work.

Everybody in close. Get in close.

Take a knee.

You guys worked really hard this week.

You should be proud.

You haven't heard that a whole lot,

have you?

You've earned it.

Boys, it's a whole new world out there

when you earn things.

All right, bring it in.

Everybody in. Everybody in.

Mustangs on three. One, two, three!

Mustangs!

Jog it off the field. Jog it off!

You want water? It's on the sidelines. Jog!

Three weeks from this Saturday, we open

our season against Barrington High School.

They any good?

They've only lost five games in three years.

We about to make it six.

All right, all right, listen up.

Madlock, look up here. I want you to tell me

what the offense is tryin' to do.

Which is the offense?

The O's.

Man, I don't know what all this sh*t mean.

It means, "Have a nice day"

in Japanese, Madlock.

Naw, man, Japanese for "Nissan Sentra,"

right, Bates?

What does that mean, Bates?

Bates jacked a Nissan Sentra.

That's why he's here.

It's sad. If you gonna jack a car,

jack a Mercedes or a BMW.

If you jack a Sentra, you gotta drive

backwards so nobody can see your face.

All right, listen up.

You got a pass, Junior?

I had a phone call.

From who?

It's my boy's birthday, man.

He's two years old.

He's two years old and I missed it.

I wanna be a Mustang, Coach.

Why should I trust you?

'Cause I ain't gonna mess up.

That's what you told the judge

the last time you got out.

No more.

I'm tired of bein' a loser, man.

Makin' a mess of everything.

Coach, I wanna show people I can play.

I can do somethin' with my life.

I just wanna make my son proud.

Take it half speed till we get it right.

Set.

Hut!

Junior. Junior. Junior. Junior!

Hey, get back. Madlock, get back.

Just 'cause we call it a run-through

doesn't mean you run through

your own men.

No contact till we get equipment.

- Look out for Junior.

- Wait till you get some pads.

Bug, give 'em water.

I'll be down with it, Coach!

Come on, guys, let's go!

Coach, how 'bout you have that water boy

go fill up the swimmin' pool?

Let us do a little backstroke

before we get heatstroke.

I'll tell you what I'll do.

I'll put a quart of water in that pool

for every pass you complete.

- How 'bout that?

- Okay, that's what's up.

Drink it up, drink it up, drink it up.

You want some water, 88?

My dead homeys drink water before you do.

Yeah, yeah, yeah, y'all doing good out there.

What I like to see!

Keep it up, I'll provide some extra water.

Now that's a funny kid. He always smilin'.

It's all about the water, man.

I wonder if he was smilin'

when he stabbed that old lady for her purse.

Here ya go.

Junior, Willie, is that your positions?

Let's go. Leon, let's see what you got.

Green 18!

Green 18! Hut!

What was that about?

Man, just send me to the box!

No, you start trouble on a football field,

we finish it on a football field!

- I ain't doin' sh*t wit 'im!

- Why not?

Was his set smoked Raja!

- 88s killed my best friend!

- Shut up!

How long your sets been at war?

Ancient times, dude.

How'd it get started? You even know?

They started that sh*t, dawg!

- Man, that's a goddamn lie!

- Shut up!

Willie, lemme ask you something.

How'd you feel when Roger died?

Did you cry?

How 'bout you, Kelvin?

How did you feel

when your friend was killed? Did you cry?

Yes, sir, I did.

Yeah. So it's just gonna

go on like this forever?

Killin' each other 'cause ya live

five blocks in the wrong direction?

How 'bout we call a peace right here?

God damn it, why not?

I mean, we just, like, little gangsters.

It wouldn't even mean nothin'.

It'd mean somethin' here. Right here,

right now, it would mean somethin'.

Paul, a delay in funding?

Well, there's a lot of red tape

and paperwork we gotta...

How are we supposed

to play without equipment?

I just read Willie Weathers' file.

Have you seen it?

Yeah, what about it?

We had an agreement.

No killers on the football team, right?

Dexter, if there's more than five kids

on that team that aren't killers,

it's because they have lousy aim.

- They're not in here for that.

- 'Cause they didn't get caught.

But Weathers did.

And I'm workin' my ass off to make sure

he doesn't kill anybody again!

You sure that's it?

What?

Well, you were a college football star.

Maybe this team is...

Dexter, your degree was in social work,

not psychology.

We need that equipment.

Guy's outta control.

Not now I'm not. But soon, very soon!

Come on, show us what you got!

Come on, buddy! Throw it!

No, no, no, no, no!

Evade!

Come on, man!

You gotta be kiddin' me! Hold on, hold on!

Cut it out.

For three days, we been runnin' this play.

You still don't know where you're goin'!

Get your asses on the line and do it again,

and do it right! Line it up!

Coach, you said we'd have a water break.

Not until you do it right. Line it up!
