Remember the Titans Page #3

Follow me!

Come on! Come on!

All right,

wait up!

Get off me!

Get off me!

Get him off.

Get off me!

Bunch of tough guys, huh?

You look like a bunch

of fifth-grade sissies

after a cat fight.

You got anger. That's good.

You're gonna need it, son.

You got aggression.

That's even better.

You're gonna

need that, too,

butany2-year-oldchild

can throw a fit.

Foot ball is about

controlling that anger.

Harnessing that aggression

into a team effort

to achieve perfection!

Some coaches,

they cut a player

if they think

he's not up to snuff.

When they think

he's hurting the team.

This is

a public school program.

I will never, ever

cut a player

who comes out

to play for me,

but when you put

that uniform on,

that Titan uniform,

you better come to work.

We will be perfect...

in every aspect of the game.

You drop a pass,

you run a mile.

You miss a blocking assignment,

you run a mile.

You fumble the football,

and I will break my foot off

in your John Brown hind parts...

and then you will run a mile.

Perfection!

Let's go to work.

Move!

Move those feet!

Get up, boy! Get up! Get up!

Get up! Get up! Get up!

Keep those heads up!

Keep those feet moving!

Everything

we gonna do is changing.

We are change.

We're gonna change

the way we run.

We're gonna change

the way we eat.

We're gonna change

the way we block.

We're gonna change

the way we tackle.

We're gonna change

the way we win.

Defense is desire!

Fire and desire.

Defense! Come on!

Get up. Get outta here.

Go run. Go.

Unh!

Keep those legs movin'!

Keep those legs apart!

Keep movin:
keep movin'.

Keep that ball with you till

you get outta the briar patch.

Show me, son! Show me, 'Bama!

Show me, 'Bama!

Jump on that ball carrier

like a starving man

on a Christmas ham.

Hut!

Fumble! Fumble!

What is wrong with you?

Why are you fumbling

my football?

My blockers were bad.

Your blockers

ain't got nothin'

to do with you

holding the ball!

Did your blockers

fumble the football,

or did you fumble

the football?

I did, sir.

All right. How many

feet are in a mile?

How many feet

are in a mile?

You pick this ball up,

you run every one of them!

You're killing me, Petey!

You're killing me!

What you doing, man?

Eating lunch.

I see you eating lunch.

But why you

eating over here?

Why don't you go on over there

and eat with your people?

Man, I don't have

any people.

I'm with everybody,

Julius.

He's just

alight-skinned brother.

Yeah, and I'm

a dark-skinned cracker.

Come on, Julius, he's

just another blessed child

in God's loving family.

Come on, Blue, let me--

Lord, we come

before you today...

and ask you to soften

big Julius Campbell's heart.

Look at that traitor.

And Rev?

He better be praying

I block for

his black behind.

Yeah, but, Ray,

if you don't block

you're not gonna start.

I'll start.

I'll just bide

my time.

I got some plays we won

the city title with last year.

Got some trick plays,

some stuff that might

fi re up the boys'

imaginations a little bit.

Trick plays?

I think unless the boys

start having a little fun

they're not gonna put points

up on that board for you.

You worry

about your defense.

Let me worry about

the offense.

All right.

Lastik!

I want you to

tell me something

about one of your

black teammates.

Sir, yes, sir!

I'm rooming with Blue, sir,

and I noticed he wears those

leopard-spotted under wears,

bikini-style, sir!

OK, maybe somebody

who's not your roommate.

Sir, I eat lunch with Rev.

That's Jerry Harris, sir!

People call him Rev

'cause he's always praying,

and he won't abide

a foul tongue, sir!

And what is the Rev gonna

do after high school?

I don't know.

Go to college

and all that, I guess.

What about you?

You gonna go to college?

Oh, not me, Coach.

I ain't a brainiac

like Rev.

Think you got a future

in football?

Heck, no. I just figure

if I got to be in school

I might as well hit some

people while I'm at it.

All right, I like that.

A self-aware man,

I like that.

But if you don't

go to college,

it's not gonna be because

you're not qualified,

so I want you to bring me

your test scores

at the end of every week, and

we'll go over them together, OK?

We'll keep that

between you and me.

OK.

So, what kind of music

does the Rev like?

Me and Rev both

dig on The Temptations.

Oh, yeah?

! I know you want

to leave me !

! But I refuse

to let you go !

!!If I got to pray!!

!!Plead for your sympathy!!

! I don't mind !

! 'Cause you mean

that much to me !

!Ain't too proud

to beg !

OK, all right.

Stop begging.

Anybody else?

No volunteers?

Campbell?

Bertier?

No, huh?

Each one of you

will spend time every day

with a teammate of

a different race.

You will learn

about him and his family,

his likes, his dislikes.

You will report back to me

until you meet every one

of your teammates.

Until that time,

we go to 3-a-day practices.

You continue

to ignore each other,

we'll go

to 4-a-daypractices.

Now, is there any part of this

you don't understand?

Let's see.

What's your daddy's name?

I mean, you do have

a daddy right?

I have a father,

and his name is Eric.

And what's he do?

Wait, he does have

a job, right?

!!!!

!! They're gonna

put me in the movies!!

Huh? Yes! This one.

I don't even have

to ask, but I will.

What do you think

of this one?

Does the term ''cruel

and unusual punishment''

mean anything to you?

in the game.

The other team is out there,

they're tired.

Fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter.

Fourth quarter.

Nobody from my family

ever went to no college.

I'll tutor you,

Louie.

I'm white trash!

I ain't gonna get

no C-plus grades!

I'm just down-home, no-good,

never-goin'-to-no-college

white trash, man!

Would you hurry up

and get off the phone?

I got to call

my girl, too, man!

Say it right now.

Oh, oh, don't

do this right now.

Hey, man, what is this,

Wild Kingdom?

Shut up, y'all!

Mating habits of

the mountain gorillas?

Gerry, you say it, or I'm

not hanging up the phone.

Say it right now.

I love you, sugar.

Ha ha ha!

''I love you, sugar!''

Left!

Let's go!

Watch it!

Watch it!

Set! Hut!

et him!

Get him! Get him!

What are y' all doing?

to know your jobs!

Campbell, you're playing

selfish, show-off football.

Hold your man down.

Don't you single me out

like that.

What, you think

I'm stupid or something?

Listen,

I'm the team captain,

and I don't need you

up in my face--

We're here to

play football, y'all.

Let's play football.

Doc?

I got it.

Y'all didn't come

out here to practice!

'Cause champions

pay the price!

Lookin' like a bunch

of bums out here!

Who's a coward?

Cowards won't block.

Cowards won't tackle.

Cowards won't

go after fumbles.

Coach,

we need a water break.

We been out here all day.

What did you say?

I said we need

a water break.

You need a water break.

Water is for cowards.

Water makes you weak.

Water is for washing

blood off that uniform,
