You better have money.

(LAUGHING )

Yeah!

MAN:
You look cold.

Come a little closer.

( CHA TTERIN G ON RADIO )

Hey.

Come on, it was only for a few plays.

That's great, Vince.

We're out of work

and you're playing games.

It's not like you couldn't use the time

for anything else, right?

-Look, we're not out of work.

-Please.

The school's giving you, what,

two days a week substitute teaching?

You tend bar at night.

What do you call that?

Gainfully employed?

What do you want me to do?

Look, things are gonna get better,

all right? I promise.

When, Vince?

When are things gonna get better?

-Hi, Mr. Papale.

-Hi.

So, the assignment was first act,

Romeo and Juliet.

Oh, Mr. Papale. May I help you?

I'm sorry. Must be a mistake.

I thought this was my class.

Hey, Mr. Papale.

Hey, guys.

Mr. Papale.

Can I have a word with you, please?

We were trying to call you.

Well, there was a mix-up with the bill

and they shut my phone off,

but it should be back on today.

We were calling you to let you know

that you won't be needed this summer.

The district is forcing us

to make more cutbacks.

And we have a lot of teachers

with more seniority than you.

I'm sorry.

I know it's a hell of a deal.

TOSE:
Well, it's no secret

to anybody here

that it's been a rough stretch

for the Eagles organization.

The last few seasons

haven't lived up to my expectations

or to the expectations of the many fans

of this great team.

But, gentlemen,

today, that is going to change.

The man who's gonna bring us back

recently led UCLA

to a Rose Bowl win over Ohio State.

Please welcome Mr. Dick Vermeil.

Thank you, Mr. Tose. Thank you.

Well, I'd like to start by saying

what a tremendous honor it is

to coach this particular football team...

-Think he brought his surfboard?

-...and to coach in this city.

-Surfboard, Beach Boy records.

-The Philadelphia Eagles

have a very long and proud tradition

of winning and excellence.

It's a tradition that's been lost

in recent years.

It's a tradition

that I'm committed to restoring.

Man should be committed

for taking this job.

(ROCK MUSIC PLA YIN G

ON JUKEBO x)

Hey, Mick, you mean to tell me

you didn't see that guy

clothesline Pete?

I didn't see nothing.

(MAN CHA TTERIN G ON TV)

I saw it from the car.

Hey, that team had you guys beat

by a mile on that play.

Oh, yeah? Then why aren't you

drinking over there?

-Go to their bar, traitor.

-You want that on your tab?

Hey, put a leash on that monkey.

Vince, why does he get to run a tab,

I don't?

Because he's got a job, that's why.

(LAUGHING )

That's great, Max. Yeah,

that's a great way to treat a friend.

(LAUGHING SARCASTICALLY)

Hey, Max. Any chance I could pick up

a few more hours?

-Sure. Why?

-MAN ON TV:
First up, let's bring in

Wade Chambers

of Channel 11 Sports.

CHAMBERS:
Well, the Eagles

took their time on this one.

But for the first time...

I'm giving my cousin from New York

a few hours starting Thursday.

-You can have the rest if you want.

-Thanks. Appreciate it.

Owner Leonard Tose announced

the hiring of UCLA 's Dick Vermeil

-as the Eagles' head coach.

-Hey, Grumpy.

You wanna turn up the tube?

...wasted no time before making

this surprising announcement.

Before I take your questions,

I'd like to make a quick announcement.

This coming Saturday,

at Veterans Stadium at 9:00 a.m.,

the Philadelphia Eagles

will hold open tryouts.

-We're open to all comers.

-It's open.

-This guy's out of his mind.

-So we can go ahead

-and start with the questions now.

-There you have it, Eagle fans.
