Remember the Titans Page #7

I figured you weren't

going to make out

to the Berg, no way.

I knew you was all talk,

but now you

making us look bad

out there on the field.

Don't talk to me, man.

You ain't got nothing

to say to me.

Why the clouds,

Sunshine?

I can't make

that pitch, Petey.

You ain't gonna

never play anyway,

unless we're up

by 50 points.

And seeing as how

we ain't never gonna be

up by no 50 points,

you might as well

just sit back, relax,

and enjoy the bench.

How's it going, yo?

Man, I didn't sign up

to play like this.

These guys we're playing

got no heart.

We play like this

against Groveton,

we're going down.

OK, Offense.

Offense, let's go.

Hut!

Touchdown, Titans!

Game, Titans!

How you doing, Coach?

Good morning.

Where's your dad?

He's in his office.

Nicky, you allright?

Yes, Daddy.

OK.

What you doing?

Shooting some hoops.

Want to play?

I just did my nails.

How you doing?

Tyrell.

Coach--ahem--

if you don't need me,

I'm going to--

I'm going

to wait out back.

All right, Herb.

Coach Boone, to what

do I owe this surprise?

Have a seat.

I'll get straight to it.

We won't survive

another game

like the one we played

last Friday,

so I spoke to Mr. Vernon

the math teacher,

asked him to look at

the game fi lm from Groveton,

who we got next week.

I asked him

to analyze it for me.

Every coach has

certain tendencies--

All of them

except Ed Henry.

The only time

we'd be seeing Ed Henry

is at the state

championship.

Mm-hmm.

Well, gosh, this is...

this is great stuff--

Every quarter

broken down,

how many times they run

each play. I mean--

You like that, huh?

We'll be very tough

defensively with this.

I think so.

I brought Nicky by.

She was asking me

about Sheryl.

I'm getting

ready to take her over

to some of

her friends' house.

Any time you want to

bring her by the house,

we'd be more than

happy to have her.

!!!!

Oh, he's so cute.

He's in

my third period class.

What y' all staring

at old Sunshine for?

I'm the one dominating

on the field.

He ain't played

a minute all year.

Who cares

about the field?

Well, I don't want to be

the one to break your heart,

but Sunshine's

from California.

Yeah. A California

dreamboat.

No.

Sunshine

is from California.

He's a Californian--

You talking

to my girl?

I don't see any

livestock around here,

so I don't know what

you talkin' 'bout.

Ohh.

It's a fight!

Guys, stop it!

Get off me. Get off me.

Hey!

You want some?

Hey, hey, break it up.

Break--

et your hands

off me, man!

Hey, get off me!

Come here, man.

Aah!

Petey, get these girls

out of here.

Get out of here!

Uncle Tom traitor!

Uncle Tom!

I know you didn't call me

no Uncle Tom.

Y'all better

back off me now, man.

Go! Move!

Looks like you went

to the zoo

and made some

new friends, Bertier.

Oh, big smart guy, huh?

!!Ah!!

!!Ahah!!

!!Ahah!!

!!Ahah!!

!!Ah!!

!!Ahah!!

Marie

has asked about Sheryl.

Wanted to know if she could

come over and spend the night.

I told her I'd run it by you,

see what you thought.

Yeah.

She's over

at the Boones' tonight.

I was going to swing by

on my way home

and pick her up.

Over at the Boones', huh?

Yeah.

So that's the way

it is, huh?

Yeah, you haven't

changed a bit.

You was the one trying

to please everybody,

be the nice guy.

Sooner or later,

a man's got to pick sides.

As for me, well, I'm--

I'm not going to put myself

- through the rest of the season

with that uppity--

- Hey.

I brought you here.

I want you with me,

but you got to do

what you got to do.

That's all

you can say to me

after all

we've been through?

Do what you got to do?

Hey, Herb--

You go to hell.

That veer's

getting better.

I'll admit that.

But you're still weak

on the left side.

We're not weak

on the left side.

We just got to work harder

on the left side, that's all.

- That's not the problem.

- What is the problem?

You think it is, but it ain't.

It's your pass reads.

It's not--

It's a run anyway.

It's not a pass.

The veer is a run.

All right, you two,

that's enough of that.

Sheryl, don't you want

to play with Nicky?

I hate playing

with dolls.

I'm not playing.

I'm accessorizing.

Yeah, why don't you

go accessorize?

Don't you want to go

accessorize with--

Hey, ''Coach Coon!''

In the back.

In the back.

Mommy!

Where's Coach, man?

What do he want

with us now?

Coaches ain't called

this meeting tonight.

We did.

We outta here.

' all gonna

walk out on your teammate?

He say he got

something to say.

Y'all got

to listen to him.

Turn around,

turn around.

Where you going?

Turn around.

Coach Boone brought us

this far, y'all,

but he ain't going to be

there for us forever, man.

So what?

We won a few games.

And y'all fools

think that's something?

Man, that ain't

nothing, y'all.

And you know what else?

We ain't nothing, either.

Yeah, we came together

in camp. Cool.

But then

we're right back here,

and the world tells us

that they don't want us

to be together.

We fall apart

like we ain't a damn bit

of nothing, man.

And y' all think

we done won something?

Man, we ain't won

nothing, y'all--

Nothing.

Rev, what's

that you're always

telling me

when I get sick

of trying to keep up

with my grades and stuff?

! Even youths !

! Grow tired and weary!

! Even young men

stumble and fall !

! But those who trust

in the Lord !

!Will renew

their strength !

Say amen.

Amen. That's what

I'm talking about.

Amen--amen, right?

That's right, Rev.

!! They will soar!!

!! On wings

like eagles!!

! Oh, like eagles, y'all !

! Like eagles, y'all !

!They will walk!

!And not grow faint !

Yeah.

Can I get an amen?

Yeah!

Yeah.

Yeah.

We're playing Groveton

Friday night, y'all.

You all gonna play like

you ain't got no heart?

No!

Do you all want

a victory?

Yeah!

Do you all want

a victory?

Yeah!

Turn in!

Yeah!

Like I said,

we will not be

intimidated.

We're going to play

football games.

Hatred, violence

will not intimidate us.

Is that

why you need

the state troopers,

Coach?

Look, I don't need no

John Brown state troopers.

And you can tell whoever

threw this brick

through my window

they can come visit me

anytime.

I'll be at home.

I think it's time

you stopped

antagonizing everybody and

learned a little humility.

Humility, huh?

You know, if you could

just keep your mouth shut

and if you didn't

brag so much--

I see.

So you're blaming me

for what happened

last night?

No. I am talking about

setting a good example

for our boys

and for the community.

I don't scratch my head

unless it itches,

and I don't dance unless

I hear some music.

I will not be intimidated.

That's just the way it is.

If you want to carry

your sinful pride with you

to your grave,

that's your business,

But when your sins

end anger my little girl,

it becomes mine.

My sins?

You think my sins

had something to do

with what happened

last night?

I'm sorry about what

happened to your daughter,
