So strap on your helmets.

Throw on those shoulder pads.

Here's your chance to play in the NFL.

I guess four wins

wasn't so bad after all.

-Yo, Vince. What do you say?

-What?

You're faster

than half those guys anyway.

(CHUCKLING )

Hey, come on. Give it a shot.

Yeah, Vince.

Papale at the 40.

ALL:
At the 30. The 20.

He's at the 10.

-Hey.

-Hey. Sixteen-hour first day.

-You're not going soft on me, are you?

-Look who's talking.

Well, I found out today

that there aren't any sprinkler systems

on the East Coast.

Only took me a half an hour

to make that little discovery.

You happen to see

that press conference today?

Yeah. You looked good.

The tryout come off

sounding a little desperate?

Maybe a little.

You don't seriously think

you're gonna find someone, do you?

I'm just trying to get people excited,

that's all.

So, Max just told me.

She took everything?

-And she wants a divorce?

-Look, it's nothing, all right?

Just forget about it, Tommy.

(DRIFT AWAY B Y DOBIE GRA Y

Gin and tonic, light on the tonic,

and a Red neat for you, yeah?

-That's right.

-Here you go.

Sweetheart, if you could cook Italian,

I'd marry you.

-lf she had no legs, you'd marry her.

-Get out of here.

(LAUGHING )

-Sorry I'm late, Max.

-Hey, Vince, we're covered.

-I know, I know, Max. I'm sorry.

-Hey, no problem.

Anything you need, all right?

Vince Papale,

meet my cousin, Janet Cantwell.

-Hey.

-Nice to meet you.

And just so everyone knows,

we have a minor character flaw

that we're all gonna

have to deal with here.

-I don't see many flaws, Max.

-Watch it, Tommy.

MAN:
Hubba-hubba.

My cousin, who is from New York,

who was born in New York,

is a New York Giants fan.

(BOOING )

-Go, Giants.

-You gotta be kidding me.

-A passionate New York Giants fan.

-MAN:
Come on.

Max, she's a Giant fan?

-Maxie, come on.

-I know, I know.

JANET:
62-10.

Giants humiliate the Eagles.

What was that? Three years ago?

And we actually get our players

from something called the NFL draft.

MAN 1:
Ooh!

MAN 2:
Yeah!

MAN 1:
What kind of talk is that?

See, Vince?

That's another reason

why you gotta try out this weekend.

-Nobody's trying out, Tommy, okay?

-Why not?

-You clean up at all our games.

-Oh.

-He's 30 years old, for one thing.

-Oh, shut your mouth.

Yeah, there's a little difference

between Mean Joe Greene

and Bobby from the Tanker, you think?

Hey, hey, screw Mean Joe.

We don't even play Pittsburgh

this year.

-Petey's right.

-Yeah, why not?

Your old lady ain't gonna stop you.

What? What'd you say, Johnny?

-What?

-What do you mean, "What"?

You playing stupid now?

You got a problem with me, Johnny?

What'd I do?

Why don't you get out of here, Johnny?

Come on, right now.

Hey, forget it. He's drunk.

He just needs to find some work,

that's all.

(HOW LONG B Y ACE PLA YIN G

ON JUKEBO x)

You know, you and your thing.

Johnny losing it

'cause he can't pay a bill.

Now, Pete...

Pete ain't been right since his brother

Andrew came back dead from the war.

What about you, Tommy?

You hanging in okay?

Yeah, same old.

Bunch of guys

talking about going on a strike.

I ain't worried.

You know I'm serious

about this tryout, right?

(SLURRING ) Hey. I have, like,

eight beers in me,

but I'm serious, okay?

Tommy, I mean,

I played one year of high school ball.

It ain't gonna happen.

There's no one I know that is

a bigger Eagle fan than you, okay?

Nobody.

All right, we're talking

about Veterans Stadium here.

Where Eagles dare.

I mean, that is sacred ground, pally.

Even if you're down there

for one hour, man,

you're down there.

(BELL RINGING )

Old Maxie's ready

to call it a night, huh?

Last call, pally.

Saddest music I know.

(ONE FOR MY BAB Y

-Hi, Pop.

-Vince.

Come on in.

(SIGHING )

I never did like her.

I never told you that, did I?

Guess maybe I should've

seen it coming, huh?

What does she think?

You're the only guy out there

trying to make ends meet?

All those years,

your mother being sick...

Well, that was nobody's fault.

But this...

Pop, I never had to ask you this before,

but I'm gonna have trouble

making rent.

Yeah.

-How much you need?

-Hundred bucks.

-I can pay you back as soon as I...

-No, no, forget it.

There've been times

I've needed help, too.

This is family.

We've had some rough times,

you and me,

but we stick on this one, okay?

Thanks.

So, what do you make

of this new coach?

Beat Woody Hayes in the Rose Bowl.

Saying something.

You know, I heard from Maxie

that the guys are riding you pretty hard

about going to this tryout.

Yeah, well...

You know, Vince,

it might not be the worst thing

to let this one go.

A man can only take so much failure.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING )
