Remember the Titans Page #2

for no thief.

Don't do this.

Don't make this any harder

for me than it already is.

Coach, if you go, I go.

only play

for you, Coach Yoast.

Don't go, Coach.

You can't leave us.

Coach Yoast!

Coach Yoast! Coach Yoast!

We'll be all right,

Coach.

I've coached

most of these boys

since they

were your age.

I've seen them grow up

in front of my eyes,

almost like

they were my own kids.

Almost.

This is a heck of a time

to be abandoning them

to look out for

themselves, ain't it?

So...what are you

gonna do?

We gonna play

some ball, y'all!

Black inside, black inside,

black inside.

Unh, unh, unh, unh!

Yo, Petey,

how many yards you figure

you gonna get

this season, bro?

You know, I ain't one

to brag, big Blue,

but I figure on

at least a thousand.

But I ain't

one to brag.

Didn't I tell you

all them white boys

weren't gonna play

for no brother?

Well, who needs 'em, baby?

From now on the Titans gonna be

powered by soul power, bro.

! He said soul power!

Shut up.

Put your hand down.

You're smiling.

Yes.

Yes, sir.

Why are you smiling?

'Cause I love football.

Football's fun.

Fun, sir. It's fun?

- Yes.

- You sure?

I think--

Now you're thinking'.

First you smile,

then you thinking'.

You think football

is still fun?

Uh, yes.

Sir.

- Yes--no, sir.

- No?

It was fun.

Not anymore, though,

is it?

Not right now.

It's not fun anymore.

Not even a little bit.

Uh...no.

Make up your mind.

Think since you're thinking.

Go on, think.

Is it fun?

- No, sir.

- No?

Absolutely not?

Zero fun, sir.

All right, listen up.

I'm Coach Boone.

I'm gonna tell you all

about how much ''fun''

you're gonna have

this season.

We leave for camp,

Gettysburg College,

August 1 5th, 7:
29 A.M.

If you report at 7::30,

you will not be playing

football this season,

you will be watching.

You will wear

a jacket, shirt, and tie.

If you don't have one,

buy one.

Can't afford one,

borrow one from your old man.

If you don't

have an old man,

then find a drunk,

trade him for his.

'Cause I guarantee you

there isn't a bum on the street

that looks as raggedy

and ridiculous

as what I'm looking at

right now.

This is no democracy.

It is a dictatorship.

I am the law.

If you survive camp,

you will be on the team.

If you survive.

Check 'em in, Coach.

Checkin' 'em in.

I'm Coach Hinds,

your offensive line coach.

Yell out your name and position

starting from the right.

Petey Jones,

running back.

The running back, y'all.

Whatever, Petey.

Get out here!

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Jerry Harris, quarterback.

Hallelujah!

Hallelujah, Rev!

Rev?

It's just

a nickname.

And who in the name

of heaven might you be?

Louie Lastik,

offensive lineman.

Naval family, just moved

here from Bayonne.

Someone said football,

so I come runnin'.

What's goin' on,

everybody?

With him calling the shots,

ain't none of us

gonna see nothin'

but the bench this year.

He ain't calling

the shots. You'll play.

You have just disrupted

my first team meeting

in an unacceptable

fashion.

This is my team now.

Either you're with that

or you're not.

I'm here, ain't I?

Let's talk football.

Let's talk football.

I run the defense--

As a part of

my team strategy.

Now, I have never seen

an assistant coach's name

in the newspaper

for losing a game.

I want a job

for Coach Tyrell.

He's been with me

for 1 0 years.

I won't leave him

out in the cold.

You don't get me

without him.

You're overcooking

my grits, Coach.

All right. I will

allow Coach Tyrell

to coach

the special team,

but I will have

my eye on him.

And you.

Good morning, good morning,

Coaches, how are you?

Good morning

to you.

Looks good today,

doesn't it?

Just wanted to let you know

what the offense is doing.

Awful skinny play book,

ain't it?

I run 6 plays, split veer.

It's like novocaine.

Just give it time,

always works.

See you on the bus.

Be patient, Bill.

Your time will come.

Herman, here we go.

Here we go.

How can I help

you boys?

I'm Gerry Bertier,

the only all-American

you got on this team.

You want any of us

to play for you,

you reserve half

the open positions

for Hammond players,

half the offense,

half the special teams.

We don't need any of

your people on defense.

We're already set.

Uh-huh. Don't need

none of my people?

What did you say

your name was, Jerry?

Gerry.

No, you must have said

Jerry, like Lewis,

which would make you

Dean Martin, right?

Ladies and gentlemen,

I got an announcement to make.

We got Jerry Lewis

and Dean Martin

going to camp with us

here this year.

Jerry tells the jokes,

Dean sings the songs

and gets the girl.

Let's give them

a round of applause.

Where's your folks,

Gerry?

Your parents,

are they here?

Where are they?

That's my mother.

That's your mama?

Very nice.

How are you?

Take a good look at her.

'Cause once

you get on that bus,

you ain't got no mama

no more.

You got your brothers

on the team,

and you got your daddy.

Now, you know who

your daddy is, don't you?

Gerry, if you want to play

on this football team,

you answer me when I ask you

who is your daddy.

Who's your daddy, Gerry?

Who's your daddy?

You.

Uh-huh. And whose team

is this?

Is this your team,

or is this your daddy's team?

Yours.

Mm-hmm. Get on the bus.

Put your jacket on first

and get on the bus.

OK.

Uh, Dean?

Fix that tie, son.

All right, listen up,

I want everybody off the bus.

Let's go. Follow me. Everybody.

Let's go right now.

Why we got

to get off the bus?

hat are

they doing, man?

All right,

everybody, off the bus.

Listen up, I don't care

if you're black, green,

blue, white, or orange,

I want all of my defensive

players on this side,

all players going out

for offense over here.

Right now.

Let's move! Let's move!

Let's move! Let's move!

You and you, offensive bus.

Sit together.

You and you, defensive bus.

Sit together.

Get comfortable, too,

because the person that

I have you sitting next to

is the same one

you'll be rooming with

for the duration

of this camp.

! 'Cause, baby!

!There ain't

no mountain high enough !

!Ain't no valley

low enough !

Blue, shut up.

I don't want to see

your smilin' and shuff in',

and hear all your minstrel

show singing on this bus.

You, too.

Got that right.

You can shut up, too.

!!!!

!! When I die

and they lay me to rest!!

That's my bed.

!! Gonna go to the place

that's the best!!

!! When I lay me

down to die!!

And that's his bed.

!! Up to the spirit

in the sky!!

!! Goin' up to the spirit

in the sky!!

I ain't lookin' at that

for 2 weeks, man.

Take it down.

!! When I die!!

You can close your eyes

for 2 weeks, all I care.

Why don't you look at your wall

and I'll look at mine?

I'll look

wherever I want to,

and I don't want to be

looking at that for 2 weeks.

Then you better use your

X-ray vision, Superman,

and look right through it,

'cause it ain't comin' down.

Aah!

Fight!

Fight?

Fight!
