and you don't get

no blood on my uniform.

Boy, you must be

outside your mind!

We are going to do up-downs

until Blue is no longer

tired and thirsty.

Coach!

There's a fine line

between tough and crazy,

and you're firting

with it.

All right,

get some water.

I'll take that.

Hey, wait

your turn, boy.

Who you calling

a boy, cracker?

Yaah!

Quit it, jerks!

Come on! You're all acting

like a bunch of sissies!

Quit it!

All right, man, listen.

I'm Gerry, you're Julius.

Let's get some particulars

and just get this

over with, all right?

- Particulars?

- Yeah.

No matter what I tell you,

you ain't never gonna know

nothing about me.

Listen, I ain't runnin'

any more of these 3-a-days.

What I got to say,

you really don't want to hear

'cause honesty ain't too high

on your people's priority list.

Honesty?

You want honesty?

All right, honestly,

I think you're nothing.

Nothing

but a pure waste

of God-given talent.

You don't listen

to nobody, man.

Not even Doc or Boone!

Shiver push on the line

every time, man.

You blow right past 'em!

Push 'em!

Pull 'em! Do something!

You can't run over

everybody in this league,

and every time you do, you

leave one of your teammates

hanging out to dry--

me in particular!

Why should I give a hoot

about you, huh?

Or anybody else out there?

You want to talk about a waste,

you the captain?

Right.

- Captain's supposed to be

the leader, right?

-Right.

You got a job? You

been doing your job?

I've been doing my job.

Then why don't you tell

your white buddies

to block for Rev better?

'Cause they have not blocked

for him worth a plugged nickel,

and you know it!

Nobody plays!

Your self included!

I'm supposed to wear

my self out for the team?

What team?!

No. No, what

I'm gonna do is,

I'm gonna look out

for myself,

and I'm gonna get mine.

See, man?

That's the worst attitude

I ever heard.

Attitude refects

leadership, Captain.

Let's go, let's go,

let's go, let's go!

Wake up, gentlemen,

it's late.

It's 3A.M. In the morning.

All right, listen up.

You will follow Doc, myself,

and the other coaches,

we're gonna take a little

run through the woods.

If you get lost

along the way,

don't bother

coming back to camp.

Just hitchhike

your hind parts on home.

Any questions?

Coach, this is a high

school football team.

We're not in

the marines here.

Let's go.

Let's go.

!! Tell me,

where have you been!!

!!My blue-eyed son?!!

Any body know

This is Gettysburg.

This is where they fought

the Battle of Gettysburg.

on this field,

fightin' the same fight

that we're still fightin'

amongst ourselves...

today.

This green field right here

was painted red.

Bubbling with the blood

of young boys.

Smoke...

and hot lead pouring

right through their bodies.

Listen to their souls, men.

''I killed my brother

with malice in my heart. ''

'' Hatred destroyed my family.''

You listen...

and you take a lesson

from the dead.

If we don't come together...

right now,

on this hallowed ground...

then we, too,

will be destroyed.

Just like they were.

I don't care if you

like each other or not,

but you will

respect each other,

and maybe...

I don't know,

maybe we'll...

learn to play this game

like men.

Hut!

Here we go!

All right.

We'll be out here all night,

until we get this thing right.

Let's go.

Let's go,

team, pick it up!

On the ball, Rev.

Come on, everybody.

Get it right!

Ready!

Set!

Whoo!

Check blue!

There it is. Whoo!

Let's go! Hut!

Get him!

Get him! Get him!

What was that, Ray?

Whatever it is,

it ain't blockin'!

Give me a break, Gerry.

You want a break?

I'll give you a break!

Wait a minute,

wait, wait.

Let them handle this.

If we get to Rev once,

just one time,

Is wear to God,

I'm gonna hit you so hard,

by the time you come to,

ooh, boy, you're gonna

need a new haircut.

You understand me? Uhh!

Ha ha ha ha!

Let's play, fellas!

On the ball.

Let's run it again.

Ready!

All right.

Muskrat!

summer's day!!

!! When I thought I'd

lay myself down to rest!!

Hey, fellas.

Look at that fruitcake.

Gerry, just keep

your mouth shut

and get back

on that field.

Coach Boone,

I'm Colonel Bass.

I just got transferred here

from Huntington Beach,

California.

This is my son Ronnie,

and he's a quarterback.

How you doing, Ronnie?

This is Coach Yoast.

My pleasure.

We're pretty set at the,

uh, quarterback, Colonel,

but, uh,

if the boy's any good,

you may want to check out

Wilson or Hamilton.

Well, I, uh,

I met Coach Taber.

He won't let

blacks play on his team.

The way I see it,

if these boys can

fight a war together,

they can play

football together.

Now, he's

a pretty good runner.

!!Spill the wine

and take that pearl!!

!!Spill the wine

and take that pearl!!

Yeah, a fruitcake, huh?

I think we can find

a place for your boy.

Mm-hmm.

With one or two conditions.
