00:01:11.038 --> 00:01:13.840
the topsoil off
the plains and prairies
00:01:13.974 --> 00:01:16.944
of the Texas panhandle,
creating a waking nightmare
00:01:17.076 --> 00:01:19.278
called the dust bowl.
00:01:19.412 --> 00:01:21.615
It's hard to remember
which came first,
00:01:21.748 --> 00:01:24.651
the dust bowl
or the great depression,
00:01:24.785 --> 00:01:28.555
but what followed made
hell on earth look forgiving
00:01:28.689 --> 00:01:30.591
and would leave families broken,
00:01:30.724 --> 00:01:32.626
as thousands of children
were orphaned
00:01:32.759 --> 00:01:36.830
across a nation
clamoring for a sense of hope.
00:01:43.169 --> 00:01:46.773
What they didn't know
was that hope was coming.
00:01:46.907 --> 00:01:49.977
But it wasn't coming
in the form of rain.
00:01:50.109 --> 00:01:51.945
Here we go. Okay.
00:01:54.514 --> 00:01:56.783
- You wanna block?
- You're gonna tell me to block?
00:01:56.917 --> 00:01:58.885
- We're losing because of you!
- Hey! Hey!
00:01:59.019 --> 00:02:01.021
- You can't block or tackle!
- Don't touch me!
00:02:01.153 --> 00:02:02.799
- You haven't done shit!
- You need to help.
00:02:02.823 --> 00:02:05.692
Get your ass out there
so I can hand it to you!
00:02:05.826 --> 00:02:08.294
- You want faster?
- Maybe we ought to think
00:02:08.427 --> 00:02:10.262
about calling this game
right now.
00:02:10.396 --> 00:02:11.965
Hardy ain't said a word.
00:02:12.099 --> 00:02:13.699
Think you've done
a good job at tackling?
00:02:13.734 --> 00:02:15.301
Don't talk to him like that!
00:02:15.434 --> 00:02:17.370
- Shut up, a.P.!
- Y'all need to do better!
00:02:17.504 --> 00:02:18.939
Run down the damn field!
00:02:36.990 --> 00:02:38.625
What now, coach?
00:02:51.470 --> 00:02:54.240
Let me assert my firm belief
00:02:54.373 --> 00:02:59.980
that the only thing
we have to fear is fear itself.
00:03:01.682 --> 00:03:04.651
Daddy, what are
all these people doing?
00:03:05.819 --> 00:03:09.790
- Rusty. Rusty.
- Yes?
00:03:09.923 --> 00:03:13.192
Well, honey, they're finding
a new place to live.
00:03:13.325 --> 00:03:14.728
I want to go back home.
00:03:14.861 --> 00:03:16.362
We have a new home now,
00:03:16.495 --> 00:03:19.666
and we should be very thankful.
What do I always say?
00:03:19.800 --> 00:03:22.435
New adventures brave the heart
and set the soul asail.
00:03:22.569 --> 00:03:25.072
- Isn't that right?
- Yes, daddy.
00:03:25.204 --> 00:03:28.542
This nation
is asking for action,
00:03:28.675 --> 00:03:30.577
and action now.
00:03:33.479 --> 00:03:38.552
We humbly ask
the blessing of god.
00:03:38.685 --> 00:03:42.923
May he protect
each and every one of us.
00:03:56.169 --> 00:03:58.572
- Is that it?
- Yup.
00:03:58.705 --> 00:04:02.776
Looks like a castle. I've never
seen a building like that.
00:04:03.910 --> 00:04:05.078
Me neither.
00:04:06.680 --> 00:04:08.247
A castle perhaps,
00:04:08.380 --> 00:04:10.249
but this is no fairy tale.
00:04:10.382 --> 00:04:13.787
The masonic home was not
full of imaginary beings
00:04:13.920 --> 00:04:15.522
but of children, forgotten
00:04:15.655 --> 00:04:18.390
during the harsh reality
of these times.
00:04:20.160 --> 00:04:21.228
Half a mile out.
00:04:21.360 --> 00:04:22.763
Fancy?
00:04:22.896 --> 00:04:25.065
Nah, shitty, old Ford.
00:04:25.198 --> 00:04:26.733
Ah, hell, you can take them.
00:04:26.867 --> 00:04:28.735
Looking for a sugar mama myself.
00:04:28.869 --> 00:04:30.670
There's a lady in there,
00:04:30.804 --> 00:04:33.907
and, boy,
does she look like a peach.
00:04:34.040 --> 00:04:35.441
Let me see that.
00:04:38.078 --> 00:04:40.412
Oh, lordy,
does she got a set on her.
00:04:40.547 --> 00:04:42.414
Here comes mama.
00:04:42.549 --> 00:04:44.316
You boys just save yourselves
the heartache.
00:04:44.450 --> 00:04:47.220
One look at me,
I'm out of this damn hoosegow.
00:04:47.353 --> 00:04:52.092
Who-who'd want a b-bag
of bones I-like you, s-snoggs?
00:04:52.225 --> 00:04:54.594
You're one to t-t-talk, DeWitt.
00:04:54.728 --> 00:04:57.463
Who's gonna adopt a grown man,
you stuttering sasquatch?
00:05:00.600 --> 00:05:02.102
It's what's inside that counts.
00:05:02.235 --> 00:05:05.705
Mommy, I don't like it here.
00:05:05.839 --> 00:05:09.776
The orphanage was seen as a
cold, uncaring institution
00:05:09.910 --> 00:05:13.713
where children were
to be pitied, if not feared.
00:05:13.847 --> 00:05:17.449
Are you picking up,
or are you dropping off?
00:05:17.584 --> 00:05:19.786
- Aren't you the cutest thing.
- I'm rusty Russell,
00:05:19.920 --> 00:05:22.522
the new math, science teacher.
This is my wife, juanita.
00:05:22.656 --> 00:05:23.824
She's teaching English...
00:05:23.957 --> 00:05:25.659
- How do you do?
- And music.
00:05:25.792 --> 00:05:28.562
- The football coach? Ha-ha-ha!
- That's right.
00:05:28.695 --> 00:05:30.263
Yeah, I'm frank wynn.
00:05:30.396 --> 00:05:33.133
I run the day-to-day
and keep the hooligans in line.
00:05:33.266 --> 00:05:35.302
- Welcome to the home.
- Thank you very much.
00:05:35.434 --> 00:05:38.972
- We're pleased to be here and...
- Let's get you settled.
00:05:39.105 --> 00:05:41.575
Boys, get down here
and unload this car!
00:05:41.708 --> 00:05:43.043
That's not necessary.
00:05:43.176 --> 00:05:44.878
Thank you, I've got it.
00:05:45.011 --> 00:05:48.014
See, it's a little precarious
there, the way I got it tied up.
00:05:50.817 --> 00:05:52.152
Afternoon, frank.
00:05:52.285 --> 00:05:54.721
Got another stray
for your stock.
00:05:54.855 --> 00:05:56.690
This old Hardy brown's boy.
00:05:56.823 --> 00:05:58.959
Found him curled up
next to his dead daddy.
00:05:59.092 --> 00:06:00.727
Smells like it too.
00:06:00.861 --> 00:06:03.362
- Could use a little scrubbing.
- Yeah, we can handle that.
00:06:03.495 --> 00:06:05.799
Uh, meet the new football coach.
00:06:05.932 --> 00:06:08.268
This is rusty Russell.
This is red Wright.
00:06:08.400 --> 00:06:10.136
- Sheriff.
- Football, huh?
00:06:10.270 --> 00:06:13.206
- That's right.
- You're a little south on talent.
00:06:13.340 --> 00:06:15.675
- Don't even have a field.
- The field don't make the team.
00:06:15.809 --> 00:06:18.178
I'm gonna get my family inside.
It's nice to meet you.
00:06:18.311 --> 00:06:20.547
Can you get
the brown boy up to doc?
00:06:20.680 --> 00:06:23.083
- Yeah, I can do that.
- Unload the car!
00:06:25.417 --> 00:06:28.822
Orphans were stigmatized
as misfits and outcasts
00:06:28.955 --> 00:06:33.326
and often referred to
not as orphans but as inmates.
00:06:33.459 --> 00:06:35.862
It didn't matter that
they had done nothing wrong.
00:06:35.996 --> 00:06:39.799
Kids without parents were
simply second-class citizens.
00:06:39.933 --> 00:06:42.135
How many orphans do you have?
00:06:42.269 --> 00:06:43.937
I got about 150 right now.
00:06:44.070 --> 00:06:46.239
I like to keep it manageable.
00:06:46.373 --> 00:06:48.041
Everything in order.
00:06:48.174 --> 00:06:51.544
I run a very tight ship,
military style.
00:06:51.678 --> 00:06:54.480
Leon!
Get to the back of the line!
00:06:54.614 --> 00:06:56.415
You can't trust those types.
00:06:56.549 --> 00:06:59.719
They'll steal your hat,
then help you look for it.
00:07:01.254 --> 00:07:05.191
Help you look for it. Come on!
00:07:05.325 --> 00:07:08.028
You got jock itch, snoggs.
I don't want to scare you,
00:07:08.161 --> 00:07:10.063
but if you don't stop
shucking your corn,
00:07:10.196 --> 00:07:12.632
- your cob's gonna fall off.
- Oh, doc, there's gotta be
00:07:12.766 --> 00:07:15.101
- something else we can do.
- No cure for adolescence,
00:07:15.235 --> 00:07:17.037
but this might help the itching.
00:07:17.170 --> 00:07:19.906
- Good afternoon, doc.
- Sheriff.
00:07:20.040 --> 00:07:21.908
I got Hardy brown here.
00:07:22.042 --> 00:07:24.077
Mr. Brown, I'm doc hall.
00:07:24.210 --> 00:07:25.578
You all right?
00:07:25.712 --> 00:07:28.281
Ah, he's all right.
It's not his blood.
00:07:28.415 --> 00:07:30.817
I assume
you can read and write, son.
00:07:33.820 --> 00:07:37.023
It's okay.
You can fill this out later
00:07:37.157 --> 00:07:39.326
after you get cleaned up.
How that'd be?
00:07:39.458 --> 00:07:41.795
Snoggs, maybe you can show
Mr. Brown his new home.
00:07:41.928 --> 00:07:42.796
Yes, sir.
00:07:42.929 --> 00:07:44.965
I'll show you the shower.
00:07:49.970 --> 00:07:52.672
What in the tarnation
are the masons thinking,
00:07:52.806 --> 00:07:54.507
hiring a damn football coach?
00:07:54.641 --> 00:07:57.510
He's not just a damn football
coach, he's a damn good one.
00:07:57.644 --> 00:07:59.312
Took temple
to district three times.
00:07:59.446 --> 00:08:01.047
He must have
a screw loose somewhere,
00:08:01.181 --> 00:08:02.481
signing on with this outfit.
00:08:02.615 --> 00:08:05.318
No offense,
but this is no poly high.
00:08:05.452 --> 00:08:08.455
Well, not yet. To the new deal.
00:08:08.588 --> 00:08:10.357
Unh! All right, here we go.
00:08:10.489 --> 00:08:12.225
One, two.
00:08:16.029 --> 00:08:18.198
I'll get that fixed right away.
00:08:18.331 --> 00:08:19.733
Careful, careful.
00:08:19.866 --> 00:08:21.701
Watch out.
00:08:21.835 --> 00:08:24.070
Let's get you some air in here.
That'll make it better.
00:08:25.772 --> 00:08:27.674
Already been unlocked. Hey!
00:08:27.807 --> 00:08:30.010
Come on, now. All right, okay.
00:08:43.156 --> 00:08:44.924
Didn't figure you had any soap,
00:08:45.058 --> 00:08:47.060
seeing as how you came in
with the sheriff.
00:08:47.193 --> 00:08:48.962
Unless you got some
stuffed somewhere,
00:08:49.095 --> 00:08:51.031
but who the hell'd
have soap on them?
00:08:51.164 --> 00:08:52.866
So I brought you some.
00:09:06.379 --> 00:09:08.348
Fat-ass gets off
on whupping our butts.
00:09:08.481 --> 00:09:11.051
Especially snoggs' skinny ass.
00:09:11.184 --> 00:09:14.054
You can sleep here.
Any questions?
00:09:15.321 --> 00:09:16.623
My mama will come for me.
00:09:18.391 --> 00:09:19.692
Only mamas that come here
00:09:19.826 --> 00:09:22.028
are the ones
that give up their kids.
00:09:22.162 --> 00:09:24.064
You're an orphan now,
Hardy brown.
00:09:28.068 --> 00:09:29.503
It'll be all right.
00:09:48.556 --> 00:09:50.223
Don't worry, I'm gonna...
00:09:50.356 --> 00:09:52.292
I'm gonna get
that patched and painted up,
00:09:52.425 --> 00:09:53.893
all of that.
00:09:54.027 --> 00:09:56.429
Oh, I'm not worried
about the ceiling.
00:09:56.564 --> 00:09:58.098
I'm more concerned
about the fact
00:09:58.231 --> 00:10:00.467
that we just adopted 150 kids.
00:10:02.235 --> 00:10:06.706
This is going to be even
more work than you imagined.
00:10:06.840 --> 00:10:10.310
Juanita, we have a chance
to make a real difference here.
00:10:10.443 --> 00:10:13.146
We were making
a difference at temple.
00:10:13.279 --> 00:10:15.549
We left everything
for a place with nothing.
00:10:15.682 --> 00:10:17.650
That's exactly why we came here.
00:10:17.784 --> 00:10:19.587
We can do this together.
00:10:19.752 --> 00:10:22.556
I'm starting to question that
for the first time in my life.
00:10:22.689 --> 00:10:24.824
This decision
was not made together.
00:10:24.958 --> 00:10:26.159
You informed me.
00:10:26.292 --> 00:10:28.328
There is a big difference.
00:10:39.205 --> 00:10:41.542
Boy,
you're gonna have to earn your keep.
00:10:41.674 --> 00:10:43.843
Mind your elders.
00:10:43.977 --> 00:10:46.346
God help you.
00:10:46.479 --> 00:10:48.948
George, look after rusty.
00:10:49.082 --> 00:10:50.783
When things get better,
I'll be back.
00:10:50.917 --> 00:10:53.219
I promise. I do.
00:10:53.353 --> 00:10:55.955
- Mom, please don't leave.
- Let's go!
00:10:57.357 --> 00:10:59.459
Mommy!
00:11:17.844 --> 00:11:19.145
Not much to look at, is it?
00:11:20.446 --> 00:11:22.382
Matter of perspective, I guess.
00:11:22.516 --> 00:11:23.883
I like your optimism.
00:11:24.017 --> 00:11:26.052
We need more of that
around here.
00:11:26.186 --> 00:11:28.488
I'm e.P. Hall. They call me doc.
00:11:28.622 --> 00:11:30.223
Rusty Russell.
I'm a new teacher...
00:11:30.356 --> 00:11:31.824
Oh, I know who you are.
00:11:31.958 --> 00:11:34.727
And I know what you can do
with mediocre talent.
00:11:34.861 --> 00:11:36.062
I saw what you did
00:11:36.196 --> 00:11:38.097
- against corsicana in '34.
- Oh, yeah.
00:11:38.231 --> 00:11:40.534
That's why I recommended you
for this job.
00:11:40.668 --> 00:11:42.435
- You did?
- Yes, sir.
00:11:43.970 --> 00:11:46.640
- Why'd you do that, doctor?
- Well, like I said,
00:11:46.773 --> 00:11:48.141
I like your optimism.
00:11:49.342 --> 00:11:51.044
Okay.
00:11:52.745 --> 00:11:54.414
This field used for anything?
00:11:54.548 --> 00:11:57.350
Mexican lad used to graze
his goats up here a while back.
00:11:57.483 --> 00:11:59.352
Guess he quit the goat business.
00:11:59.485 --> 00:12:03.323
- Goat must've liked to eat rocks.
- That's right.
00:12:03.456 --> 00:12:04.724
I grew up out in west Texas.
00:12:04.857 --> 00:12:06.426
I know goats
don't need much grass,
00:12:06.560 --> 00:12:08.320
but I never knew one
that liked to eat rocks.
00:12:08.394 --> 00:12:11.431
These were
fort worth goats, coach.
00:12:11.565 --> 00:12:13.266
Fort worth goats are different.
00:12:17.837 --> 00:12:19.405
- Heh, all right.
- Fight! Fight!
00:12:19.540 --> 00:12:21.007
Fort worth goats, huh?
00:12:21.140 --> 00:12:22.610
- Uh-oh!
- Fight, fight, fight!
00:12:24.410 --> 00:12:26.746
- Kick his ass!
- Get him!
00:12:26.879 --> 00:12:28.414
Hey! Hey.
00:12:28.549 --> 00:12:29.949
Stop that!
00:12:30.083 --> 00:12:31.784
Didn't take you long
to make friends.
00:12:31.918 --> 00:12:33.786
Hey, calm down.
Take it easy, son.
00:12:33.920 --> 00:12:35.922
- No, it's over. Hey.
- Calm down. Calm down.
00:12:36.055 --> 00:12:37.957
Look at me. You all right?
00:12:39.593 --> 00:12:40.860
What is going on?
00:12:40.994 --> 00:12:42.929
Nothing to be concerned
about, frank.
00:12:43.062 --> 00:12:45.999
A little misunderstanding about
who's gonna play what position
00:12:46.132 --> 00:12:48.602
on the new football team,
right, lads?
00:12:48.736 --> 00:12:50.803
- That's right.
- Sure.
00:12:50.937 --> 00:12:52.740
The rest of you
should come out too.
00:12:54.541 --> 00:12:57.944
Well, the way I see it,
you can either work the field
00:12:58.077 --> 00:12:59.479
or play the field.
00:13:01.080 --> 00:13:02.849
Hell, sounds good to me. I'm in.
00:13:02.982 --> 00:13:05.251
- See you on the field.
- All right, good deal.
00:13:05.385 --> 00:13:07.554
- Might as well.
- Okay.
00:13:07.688 --> 00:13:08.921
Here we go.
00:13:14.227 --> 00:13:16.996
Looks like there's gonna be
some changes around here.
00:13:18.498 --> 00:13:20.833
Oh, nothing changes
around here, doc.
00:13:22.902 --> 00:13:25.171
You should know that
more than anyone.
00:13:29.409 --> 00:13:33.179
Rusty knew that life inside
the orphanage held little promise.
00:13:33.313 --> 00:13:35.315
Chicken, I'm putting
a football team together.
00:13:35.448 --> 00:13:37.250
We could use a good athlete
like yourself.
00:13:37.383 --> 00:13:40.386
Oh, thank you, sir, but I ain't
never played football before.
00:13:40.521 --> 00:13:43.089
I ain't so good with balls,
just mainly eggs.
00:13:43.222 --> 00:13:46.092
Boys, think about joining
this team I'm putting together.
00:13:46.225 --> 00:13:49.195
He knew that football
would inevitably bring
00:13:49.329 --> 00:13:51.030
self-respect to these boys.
00:13:51.164 --> 00:13:53.032
We teach survival here.
00:13:53.166 --> 00:13:55.502
If we don't, they'll never
make it on the outside.
00:13:55.636 --> 00:13:57.870
Well, the masonic board hired us
00:13:58.004 --> 00:14:00.507
to implement a curriculum
and a football program
00:14:00.641 --> 00:14:03.242
that'll prepare these kids
for new opportunities
00:14:03.376 --> 00:14:05.646
- beyond manual labor.
- Right.
00:14:05.779 --> 00:14:07.847
I'm sure you're probably aware
00:14:07.980 --> 00:14:11.150
that the interscholastic league
has strict guidelines
00:14:11.284 --> 00:14:12.753
when it comes
to admitting teams.
00:14:12.919 --> 00:14:14.487
- Yes, sir.
- Convince them,
00:14:14.621 --> 00:14:17.190
then go ahead
and have your football program.
00:14:17.323 --> 00:14:19.058
- Okay.
- But it's very important
00:14:19.192 --> 00:14:22.295
that it does not interfere
with the day-to-day at the home.
00:14:22.428 --> 00:14:24.698
What is it that you produce
at the home,
00:14:24.832 --> 00:14:25.699
if I might ask?
00:14:25.833 --> 00:14:27.033
More paper!
00:14:27.166 --> 00:14:29.402
And get these rollers
cleaned faster.
00:14:29.536 --> 00:14:33.607
You boys wouldn't last
two days in the outside world.
00:14:33.741 --> 00:14:35.108
Hey! God!
00:14:35.241 --> 00:14:38.077
- These are two-dollar shoes!
- It was just an accident.
00:14:38.211 --> 00:14:40.913
Do you have something to say
for yourself? Do you? Huh?
00:14:41.047 --> 00:14:43.751
My brother ain't said more than
four words since he was little.
00:14:43.883 --> 00:14:45.485
He's got a mouth, doesn't he?
00:14:45.619 --> 00:14:48.321
Are you dumb
or are you just plain crazy?
00:14:48.454 --> 00:14:49.590
Listen here. He's clumsy.
00:14:49.723 --> 00:14:51.558
- He didn't mean to...
- Who you talking to?
00:14:51.692 --> 00:14:53.426
Hug that pole!
00:14:53.560 --> 00:14:55.261
This should open his mouth.
00:14:55.395 --> 00:14:57.296
I have a lovely
little prescription.
00:14:57.430 --> 00:15:00.266
Maybe this will
open your mouth, huh?
00:15:00.400 --> 00:15:02.101
It's a little kiss of mercy!
00:15:02.235 --> 00:15:05.606
Yeah, that'll make you
wide-mouthed, won't it, boy?
00:15:05.739 --> 00:15:07.473
- Whoo!
- Ow!
00:15:07.608 --> 00:15:09.676
You gonna feel this one, boy!
You gonna...
00:15:12.311 --> 00:15:14.046
Do not hit that boy.
00:15:14.180 --> 00:15:16.949
You understand?
00:15:17.083 --> 00:15:19.452
- I think you're making a mistake.
- Yeah?
00:15:19.586 --> 00:15:23.791
And you, you don't have
any authority here.
00:15:24.892 --> 00:15:27.393
It's my class. My rules apply.
00:15:27.528 --> 00:15:30.396
Actually, it's 9:20.
00:15:30.531 --> 00:15:34.434
These boys are due
in my classroom at 9 A.M.
00:15:34.568 --> 00:15:37.437
Do not release them tardy again.
00:15:39.038 --> 00:15:42.442
See... see, those are my rules.
00:15:42.576 --> 00:15:43.644
All right?
00:15:44.912 --> 00:15:47.447
Let's go, gentlemen, right now.
00:15:47.581 --> 00:15:49.550
Let's go. Come on.
00:15:49.683 --> 00:15:54.253
My name's Harvey nual Russell.
But you can call me Mr. Russell.
00:15:54.387 --> 00:15:57.290
I grew up in fredonia, Texas,
00:15:57.423 --> 00:16:00.493
and my father farmed
and he drank.
00:16:00.627 --> 00:16:03.831
He's a better drinker
than he was a farmer.
00:16:03.963 --> 00:16:05.498
Life's difficult,
00:16:05.632 --> 00:16:07.701
hard work leads
to great beginnings,
00:16:07.835 --> 00:16:10.604
knowledge is power,
and education...
00:16:13.105 --> 00:16:15.041
Boys, that's the key.
00:16:15.174 --> 00:16:17.544
So let's begin with a question.
00:16:17.678 --> 00:16:21.815
You got four apples
and they're setting in a basket,
00:16:21.949 --> 00:16:24.317
and you gotta feed 16 people.
00:16:24.450 --> 00:16:27.821
How many baskets do you need?
What do you think?
00:16:27.955 --> 00:16:29.756
Any of you.
00:16:29.890 --> 00:16:31.123
What about you, young man?
00:16:32.693 --> 00:16:35.995
Howdy, sir. My name is
Leon gosh damn pickett,
00:16:36.128 --> 00:16:38.699
and honestly I think
the answer's none.
00:16:38.832 --> 00:16:40.868
Make everybody bring
their own damn apples.
00:16:41.000 --> 00:16:43.670
Incorrect.
00:16:43.804 --> 00:16:46.072
And I don't appreciate
the swearing, Mr. Pickett.
00:16:46.205 --> 00:16:47.525
- Sit down.
- Yes, sir. Thank you.
00:16:47.641 --> 00:16:49.510
Take your hat off. You too.
00:16:49.643 --> 00:16:52.713
Get your head up off the desk.
Get your hand out of your head.
00:16:52.846 --> 00:16:54.380
How about you, sir?
00:16:56.482 --> 00:16:57.751
Stand up.
00:17:01.187 --> 00:17:03.891
I-i-I'm not sure, s-s-sir.
00:17:04.023 --> 00:17:06.560
Four into 16.
00:17:06.693 --> 00:17:08.127
What do you think?
00:17:09.195 --> 00:17:11.532
It's all right. Sit down.
00:17:17.771 --> 00:17:19.673
Mr. Brown, what do you say?
00:17:19.806 --> 00:17:21.407
Four into 16.
00:17:25.478 --> 00:17:27.514
- Four.
- Four.
00:17:27.648 --> 00:17:29.917
He's correct.
Come on up to the board.
00:17:30.049 --> 00:17:33.085
Show everyone how you figured
that out. Come on up, son.
00:17:35.822 --> 00:17:37.858
Go ahead. Just write it out.
00:17:41.060 --> 00:17:42.428
There you go.
00:17:47.668 --> 00:17:49.937
It's okay. Just show them
how you figured it out.
00:17:50.069 --> 00:17:51.572
It's all right, son.
00:17:52.639 --> 00:17:54.608
You're the teacher.
00:17:54.741 --> 00:17:56.175
Figure it out yourself.
00:17:57.511 --> 00:17:58.779
Ooh!
00:18:02.415 --> 00:18:05.351
It's all right. We'll get to it.
00:18:05.484 --> 00:18:08.454
Now, who of you
has played football before?
00:18:12.793 --> 00:18:16.830
How many of you actually held
a football before today?
00:18:16.964 --> 00:18:19.465
Least we don't
have to start from scratch.
00:18:23.235 --> 00:18:25.606
Doc, where are their shoes at?
00:18:25.739 --> 00:18:27.473
Well, sir,
we have two seasons here,
00:18:27.608 --> 00:18:29.910
one with shoes
and one without shoes.
00:18:30.043 --> 00:18:32.512
This here is
the without shoes season.
00:18:32.646 --> 00:18:34.246
You need shoes to play football.
00:18:34.380 --> 00:18:36.950
And helmets
and pads and jerseys.
00:18:37.084 --> 00:18:39.218
But you do have players.
00:18:39.352 --> 00:18:41.220
- Optimism.
- Right.
00:18:41.354 --> 00:18:44.357
Okay, boys, one step at a time.
00:18:44.490 --> 00:18:47.094
Now, the more mass
an object has,
00:18:47.226 --> 00:18:48.996
the greater its kinetic energy.
00:18:49.128 --> 00:18:50.764
Now, DeWitt's energy,
00:18:50.897 --> 00:18:53.100
it's clearly greater
than old snoggs over here
00:18:53.232 --> 00:18:54.835
because snoggs
is a little smaller.
00:18:54.968 --> 00:18:57.336
Snoggs' velocity
can be reached quicker,
00:18:57.470 --> 00:19:00.206
and he can maneuver it to divert
and transfer that energy
00:19:00.339 --> 00:19:01.942
in another direction, faster.
00:19:02.075 --> 00:19:04.143
Get down
in defensive stance for me.
00:19:04.276 --> 00:19:06.145
Notice your opponent's knuckles.
00:19:06.278 --> 00:19:08.682
If they're white,
he's leaning too far forward.
00:19:08.815 --> 00:19:11.150
You throw him off his feet.
Balance is key.
00:19:11.283 --> 00:19:13.787
All right, let's line up.
Eight-on-eight, right down here.
00:19:13.920 --> 00:19:15.454
Choose a partner, one-on-one.
00:19:15.589 --> 00:19:16.589
On one.
00:19:18.125 --> 00:19:19.526
Ready!
00:19:19.660 --> 00:19:20.660
Set!
00:19:20.694 --> 00:19:21.695
Hike!
00:19:25.666 --> 00:19:27.768
When you hear the word "hike,"
00:19:27.901 --> 00:19:30.137
that means the ball
has been centered
00:19:30.269 --> 00:19:32.072
and play may commence.
00:19:35.274 --> 00:19:39.445
Ready! Set! Hike!
00:19:42.516 --> 00:19:45.418
Come on, boys.
You gotta use leverage.
00:19:45.552 --> 00:19:47.020
Drive with your lower body.
00:19:47.154 --> 00:19:49.856
You can't wrap up and put
your opponent in a headlock.
00:19:49.990 --> 00:19:51.892
Looks like
an Arthur Murray dance class.
00:19:52.025 --> 00:19:54.460
- It ain't funny.
- And it ain't funny!
00:20:09.042 --> 00:20:10.242
Whoo!
00:20:11.678 --> 00:20:12.879
What the hell, Hardy?
00:20:14.114 --> 00:20:15.982
Whoa!
00:20:16.116 --> 00:20:19.119
- Should've been quicker.
- You all right? You okay?
00:20:19.251 --> 00:20:22.856
- Hey, check him out.
- I'm here. Don't move, Scott.
00:20:22.989 --> 00:20:25.559
- You just got your bell rung.
- Now, here's what's gonna happen.
00:20:25.692 --> 00:20:29.563
Mr. Brown gonna run
to the water tower and back
00:20:29.696 --> 00:20:32.364
till I say stop or you drop.
00:20:33.499 --> 00:20:34.534
- You got it?
- Yeah.
00:20:34.668 --> 00:20:36.036
What?
00:20:36.169 --> 00:20:37.971
- Yes, sir.
- That's right.
00:20:38.105 --> 00:20:40.339
- Now, hit it.
- Move.
00:20:45.178 --> 00:20:46.580
God dog.
00:20:46.713 --> 00:20:48.314
Sumbitch is still running.
00:20:48.447 --> 00:20:50.117
Toughest old mule I ever saw.
00:20:50.249 --> 00:20:52.152
- He ain't so tough.
- If he ain't tough,
00:20:52.284 --> 00:20:53.587
then you're a little flower,
00:20:53.720 --> 00:20:56.022
because he tossed you
around like a rag doll.
00:20:59.425 --> 00:21:00.961
My old man used to say
00:21:01.094 --> 00:21:03.096
the best horses
are always the hardest to break.
00:21:03.230 --> 00:21:04.430
Yeah.
00:21:04.564 --> 00:21:06.900
Every horse wants to be ridden.
00:21:07.033 --> 00:21:09.736
Some are just particular
about when and how.
00:21:09.870 --> 00:21:10.937
I'll drink to that.
00:21:12.672 --> 00:21:14.273
- Here you go.
- No, no.
00:21:14.406 --> 00:21:17.443
Juanita'd have my hide.
00:21:17.577 --> 00:21:19.813
Funny the things
you miss about a woman.
00:21:19.946 --> 00:21:22.916
- Even the henpecking, no offense.
- You ever been married, doc?
00:21:24.651 --> 00:21:25.852
Yes, sir.
00:21:28.121 --> 00:21:29.421
Agnes.
00:21:31.390 --> 00:21:33.660
Lost her and the baby
in childbirth.
00:21:33.794 --> 00:21:34.961
Long time ago.
00:21:36.462 --> 00:21:38.765
These kids are my family now.
00:21:38.899 --> 00:21:42.102
Kind of strange, because
that's what she always wanted.
00:21:42.235 --> 00:21:43.970
Lots of kids.
00:21:44.104 --> 00:21:46.506
I'm sorry, doc.
I didn't know that.
00:21:46.640 --> 00:21:48.942
I know these boys
think the world of you.
00:21:49.075 --> 00:21:50.844
That's for sure.
00:21:50.977 --> 00:21:52.946
It true you don't take
a paycheck up here?
00:21:53.079 --> 00:21:55.115
I don't know
where you heard that story.
00:21:55.248 --> 00:21:56.950
- Is that true?
- Well, sir,
00:21:57.083 --> 00:21:59.853
I know damn well you're
not here for the do-re-mi.
00:21:59.986 --> 00:22:03.489
♪ You ain't got the
do-re-mi, boy ♪
00:22:03.623 --> 00:22:05.324
♪ if you ain't got
that do-re-mi... ♪
00:22:08.195 --> 00:22:11.031
Think you might be
too hard on that boy?
00:22:11.164 --> 00:22:12.632
I'll go check on him.
00:22:14.768 --> 00:22:15.969
That's enough.
00:22:16.102 --> 00:22:17.304
Hardy.
00:22:21.541 --> 00:22:24.144
Now, look, I understand
that you don't want to be here,
00:22:24.277 --> 00:22:26.179
and I get that you're angry,
00:22:26.313 --> 00:22:28.515
but I want you to know
something. Look at me.
00:22:29.616 --> 00:22:31.383
I'm here for you, son.
00:22:31.518 --> 00:22:33.053
I'm not your son.
00:22:33.186 --> 00:22:35.622
Look, you can make me play
this little game of yours.
00:22:35.755 --> 00:22:37.356
Don't mean I gotta like you.
00:22:39.458 --> 00:22:41.561
We done here, coach?
00:22:41.695 --> 00:22:42.829
Go ahead.
00:22:47.100 --> 00:22:51.705
Every second that they're on
the field, we're losing money.
00:22:51.838 --> 00:22:54.341
You make it sound like we're
running a damn assembly line.
00:22:54.473 --> 00:22:56.343
- Yeah, well...
- Just ease up
00:22:56.475 --> 00:22:58.111
on any new printing jobs
00:22:58.245 --> 00:23:00.080
till I figure
this football program out.
00:23:00.213 --> 00:23:02.315
- Oh, bill.
- Hey, new rules,
00:23:02.448 --> 00:23:04.317
page 24, section c.
00:23:04.450 --> 00:23:06.485
It's gonna be real tough
to field a team
00:23:06.620 --> 00:23:08.454
if most of these boys
aren't able to pass
00:23:08.588 --> 00:23:11.024
- their standardized test.
- Section c?
00:23:11.157 --> 00:23:13.193
- Mm-hm.
- Watch where you're going.
00:23:13.326 --> 00:23:15.061
- Just keep it moving.
- Speak of the devil.
00:23:15.195 --> 00:23:16.830
- To Mrs. Russell's room.
- Mr. Russell?
00:23:16.963 --> 00:23:18.665
Y'all should be
on opposite sides.
00:23:18.798 --> 00:23:21.001
- Yes, sir?
- The interscholastic league
00:23:21.134 --> 00:23:23.637
has agreed to hear
your request for admittance.
00:23:23.770 --> 00:23:25.972
Oh, that's great news.
I'm happy to hear that.
00:23:26.106 --> 00:23:28.474
However, new rules state
00:23:28.608 --> 00:23:32.545
that all players are required
to take a basic aptitude test.
00:23:32.679 --> 00:23:35.282
- All right.
- Rules are rules.
00:23:35.414 --> 00:23:40.120
Shame to come all this way and
not even be able to play ball.
00:23:40.253 --> 00:23:42.222
Page 24, section c.
00:23:42.355 --> 00:23:44.758
Oh, thank you.
00:23:44.891 --> 00:23:46.326
You take that with you
00:23:46.458 --> 00:23:48.427
and let me know
if you have any questions.
00:23:48.561 --> 00:23:50.429
- All right, then.
- Thank you for your time.
00:23:52.599 --> 00:23:55.402
The sensational struggle
for existence.
00:23:55.535 --> 00:23:59.239
The result of this is
the formation of a new species,
00:23:59.372 --> 00:24:02.776
perhaps known as the
great orphan football player.
00:24:02.909 --> 00:24:04.311
I kind of like that.
00:24:04.443 --> 00:24:06.246
It's science, gentlemen,
it's evolution,
00:24:06.379 --> 00:24:08.148
and it's happening
all around us.
00:24:08.281 --> 00:24:10.283
William,
I do appreciate your time.
00:24:10.417 --> 00:24:11.985
Frank, it's always good
to see you.
00:24:12.118 --> 00:24:14.521
I'm gonna get on to class.
Thanks for the notebook.
00:24:20.961 --> 00:24:24.931
The survival of those who are
better equipped for surviving.
00:24:25.065 --> 00:24:28.201
Some are heritable traits.
That means they're inherited.
00:24:28.335 --> 00:24:30.870
Others are learned.
That means you learn them.
00:24:31.004 --> 00:24:33.273
"Those," "these,"
"there," "that."
00:24:33.406 --> 00:24:37.277
"Those," "these,"
"there," "that."
00:24:37.410 --> 00:24:39.179
But our focus
will be on learning
00:24:39.312 --> 00:24:42.282
through intense practice
through repetition,
00:24:42.415 --> 00:24:44.284
so that we can pass
this test together.
00:24:44.417 --> 00:24:46.386
Fumble!
00:24:47.821 --> 00:24:50.123
Come on, coach,
that's horseshit.
00:24:50.256 --> 00:24:51.458
Horse excrement.
00:24:51.591 --> 00:24:53.693
I've never seen
a more chaotic clamber
00:24:53.827 --> 00:24:55.328
for a football
in my entire life!
00:24:55.462 --> 00:24:58.231
Most boys your age could
pass this test blindfolded,
00:24:58.365 --> 00:25:00.200
but you're not most boys,
are you?
00:25:00.333 --> 00:25:03.069
- You need to focus.
- They had the fundamental idea.
00:25:03.203 --> 00:25:04.683
- Are you kidding? Come on.
- No, sir.
00:25:04.804 --> 00:25:07.474
You're better than most boys.
You're unique.
00:25:07.607 --> 00:25:11.177
You've dealt with hardship.
Now you got something to prove,
00:25:11.311 --> 00:25:13.313
and that's called motivation.
00:25:13.446 --> 00:25:15.382
Is this test
gonna cover female parts?
00:25:15.515 --> 00:25:18.385
Because I'm looking to get
a little hands-on practice,
00:25:18.518 --> 00:25:21.654
you know, sharpen my skills.
00:25:21.788 --> 00:25:24.724
No, snoggs,
unfortunately for you, it won't.
00:25:24.858 --> 00:25:26.559
But the examination will cover
00:25:26.693 --> 00:25:28.595
reading, writing,
science and arithmetic.
00:25:28.728 --> 00:25:30.230
Arithme-what?
00:25:30.363 --> 00:25:34.100
- Does that mean we gotta dance?
- Coach, I-I don't dance.
00:25:34.234 --> 00:25:37.470
Everything that's donated
to the home goes down here.
00:25:37.604 --> 00:25:39.539
All right, boys,
this is from Dutch meyer,
00:25:39.672 --> 00:25:41.975
Texas Christian university
athletic department.
00:25:42.108 --> 00:25:43.943
Shoulder pads,
helmets and cleats.
00:25:44.077 --> 00:25:46.713
Find cleats that fit you.
Don't want you getting blisters.
00:25:46.846 --> 00:25:49.082
I'm gonna teach you
how to become ladies.
00:25:49.215 --> 00:25:51.051
Come on, it'll be fun. Heh-heh!
00:25:51.184 --> 00:25:53.386
Yes! Yeah!
00:25:53.521 --> 00:25:54.754
What I tell you?
00:25:54.888 --> 00:25:56.022
What's that?
00:25:56.156 --> 00:25:57.156
"Tie-on."
00:25:57.190 --> 00:25:58.758
What do you think, coach?
00:25:58.892 --> 00:26:00.060
I think it looks good.
00:26:00.193 --> 00:26:01.594
You got those on
backwards, chicken.
00:26:01.728 --> 00:26:04.597
- Is a dozen six or 12?
- I don't know.
00:26:06.866 --> 00:26:09.335
- "Block"?
- That's right, Leon.
00:26:09.469 --> 00:26:11.389
- Thank you, sir.
- Twenty percent off next time.
00:26:11.505 --> 00:26:13.273
Good doing business with you.
Ha!
00:26:13.406 --> 00:26:15.608
That's where all life began,
00:26:15.742 --> 00:26:19.112
and I've always found it
particularly fascinating that...
00:26:21.047 --> 00:26:22.082
Damn it, boys!
00:26:24.017 --> 00:26:25.553
All right, that's good.
00:26:28.154 --> 00:26:30.056
"Wild saddle"?
00:26:30.190 --> 00:26:31.391
"Men's club"?
00:26:31.525 --> 00:26:33.493
We're not here
to practice our reading!
00:26:33.626 --> 00:26:35.495
Get to work! Now!
00:26:35.628 --> 00:26:39.399
Mr. Russell,
you forgot the final valence electron.
00:26:39.533 --> 00:26:41.535
You're right. Thank you.
00:26:43.504 --> 00:26:47.607
You don't pass the test,
you don't play football.
00:26:47.740 --> 00:26:50.578
So let's buck up
and let's bear down
00:26:50.710 --> 00:26:52.445
and let's get back to work.
00:26:58.251 --> 00:26:59.587
Two minutes.
00:27:07.293 --> 00:27:09.262
- Time.
- Pencils down.
00:27:13.133 --> 00:27:15.969
You'll have your
results on Wednesday.
00:27:17.770 --> 00:27:20.173
Stack them neatly.
00:27:20.306 --> 00:27:21.474
Thank you.
00:27:39.792 --> 00:27:41.629
It's a good field.
00:27:43.963 --> 00:27:49.135
Well, I don't know if you can
technically call it a field.
00:27:49.269 --> 00:27:51.539
Well, it doesn't
have to be fancy
00:27:51.671 --> 00:27:53.406
to know what it represents.
00:27:53.541 --> 00:27:55.008
Yeah.
00:27:58.444 --> 00:28:01.447
Even if those boys don't pass,
00:28:01.582 --> 00:28:04.250
we have a purpose here
that's greater than football.
00:28:07.521 --> 00:28:12.058
I ever tell you how attractive
you are when you're optimistic?
00:28:12.192 --> 00:28:14.360
No, I don't believe you have.
00:28:17.430 --> 00:28:18.632
Well...
00:28:19.899 --> 00:28:21.669
Maybe one day I will.
00:28:21.801 --> 00:28:24.538
- Oh, rusty.
- Hey.
00:28:33.346 --> 00:28:34.582
Hike!
00:28:35.982 --> 00:28:37.417
Whoa! Hold on!
00:28:37.551 --> 00:28:40.554
There's a penalty here!
Carlos, you may not trip anyone!
00:28:42.722 --> 00:28:45.225
That's 15-yard penalty
against the defense.
00:28:45.358 --> 00:28:47.528
- Let's move it back.
- They only take the young ones.
00:28:47.661 --> 00:28:50.930
Be good, all right? Take care
of your new mom and dad.
00:28:55.501 --> 00:28:57.971
I'm sure you boys
are all chomping at the bit
00:28:58.104 --> 00:28:59.739
to hear about your test results.
00:28:59.872 --> 00:29:03.409
Miraculously,
some of you pulled it off.
00:29:03.544 --> 00:29:07.747
Scott, hal, Jerry, Daniel,
step forward.
00:29:13.052 --> 00:29:16.389
I'm sorry, boys. Didn't pass.
Better luck next time.
00:29:16.523 --> 00:29:19.125
Which means the remaining
of you can play ball.
00:29:19.259 --> 00:29:23.896
That is, if Mr. Russell gets you
all accepted into the district.
00:29:24.030 --> 00:29:26.567
Natural selection
seems to have reduced our team
00:29:26.700 --> 00:29:28.334
to only 12 players.
00:29:28.468 --> 00:29:31.605
So let's consider that
high-level evolutionary fitness
00:29:31.739 --> 00:29:33.973
will allow us to play both ways.
00:29:34.107 --> 00:29:35.975
Leon, you and chicken
00:29:36.109 --> 00:29:38.244
gotta be ready to rotate in
at various positions.
00:29:38.378 --> 00:29:40.446
Y'all think you can do that?
00:29:40.581 --> 00:29:42.315
It sounds like
they're a lesser species.
00:29:42.448 --> 00:29:43.816
I should be the first string.
00:29:43.950 --> 00:29:46.252
I'm the fittest sumbitch
out here.
00:29:49.322 --> 00:29:51.391
Pickett, you know
that was our only football?
00:29:51.525 --> 00:29:54.360
- Sorry, coach.
- All right, now hit the tower.
00:29:54.494 --> 00:29:56.597
Let's go. Hustle!
00:29:56.730 --> 00:29:59.332
They wear on me sometimes.
I gotta be honest with you.
00:29:59.465 --> 00:30:01.568
At least one good thing
came out of all that.
00:30:01.702 --> 00:30:04.571
- What's that?
- We got ourselves a punter.
00:30:04.705 --> 00:30:07.140
That's true.
Can you stitch that thing up?
00:30:07.273 --> 00:30:09.108
I'm not a veterinarian,
but I'll try.
00:30:09.242 --> 00:30:10.511
- Let me get it.
- All right.
00:30:18.918 --> 00:30:21.120
Well, girls, I hope this works.
00:30:22.723 --> 00:30:24.525
- Morning.
- Morning.
00:30:29.362 --> 00:30:30.463
What's this?
00:30:30.597 --> 00:30:31.964
It's your new football.
00:30:32.098 --> 00:30:33.701
Is that right?
00:30:33.833 --> 00:30:35.602
We're making two,
in case you pop one.
00:30:35.736 --> 00:30:38.505
Very fitting for
these trying times. I like it.
00:30:39.740 --> 00:30:40.840
Scoot over.
00:30:44.010 --> 00:30:45.746
What's that?
A science experiment?
00:30:45.878 --> 00:30:47.548
That's right, snoggs,
00:30:47.681 --> 00:30:50.651
to see who wants to play
and earn a real ball.
00:30:50.784 --> 00:30:53.886
If you don't want it, ain't
no use in us being out here,
00:30:54.020 --> 00:30:56.255
sweating like
a bunch of dirt farmers.
00:30:59.859 --> 00:31:01.327
Practice over already?
00:31:01.461 --> 00:31:03.731
I don't know, doc.
It's up to them.
00:31:03.863 --> 00:31:07.300
Six-on-six. Miller, a.P.,
Fairbanks, snoggs, DeWitt,
00:31:07.433 --> 00:31:09.335
you're with me,
and I'm playing tailback.
00:31:09.469 --> 00:31:12.338
- Why you get to play tailback?
- Because I'm tall and handsome.
00:31:14.173 --> 00:31:16.175
I like your hands-on approach.
00:31:16.309 --> 00:31:18.111
In my business,
we call it scouting.
00:31:18.244 --> 00:31:21.849
We get the ball first.
Losers steal the grape juice.
00:31:21.981 --> 00:31:24.016
I'll be damned if
wheatie doesn't look
00:31:24.150 --> 00:31:26.520
- like a genuine leader.
- Set. Hike! Oh!
00:31:31.057 --> 00:31:32.793
- Lineman, maybe?
- I think you're getting
00:31:32.925 --> 00:31:34.127
this scouting thing down.
00:31:34.260 --> 00:31:35.829
Hike!
00:31:35.962 --> 00:31:37.765
- All right.
- There's a runner!
00:31:37.897 --> 00:31:42.402
Talent in each of these boys.
It's our job to find it.
00:31:42.536 --> 00:31:44.805
- Think you're up to the task?
- What?
00:31:44.937 --> 00:31:48.542
I mean I need you to have
your wits about you, doc.
00:31:48.675 --> 00:31:51.110
Don't you worry about me.
00:31:51.244 --> 00:31:53.781
You know you're supposed
to tackle him, right?
00:31:55.649 --> 00:31:57.016
Hike!
00:32:01.555 --> 00:32:02.623
Oh, my.
00:32:06.894 --> 00:32:08.461
- Oh!
- Are you all right?
00:32:08.595 --> 00:32:10.963
It's just flour.
We can wash it out. Hang on.
00:32:11.097 --> 00:32:13.132
Just get back to the game, boys.
00:32:13.266 --> 00:32:16.169
We can't. Hardy busted the ball.
00:32:16.302 --> 00:32:19.338
Well, don't just stand around
scratching your nuts.
00:32:19.472 --> 00:32:21.775
Go on, hit the tower,
all of you, pronto!
00:32:23.677 --> 00:32:24.677
I'm sorry.
00:32:24.778 --> 00:32:26.479
Sorry?
00:32:26.613 --> 00:32:29.616
No, I'm fine, doc.
I'm okay. I'm fine.
00:32:43.196 --> 00:32:46.165
Rusty, look at me. You're fine.
00:32:48.968 --> 00:32:50.537
Hey, it's time.
00:32:51.905 --> 00:32:54.508
We've got to spread out.
00:32:54.641 --> 00:32:56.275
George!
00:32:56.409 --> 00:32:57.678
Guys!
00:32:58.745 --> 00:33:00.379
Stay with me, George.
00:33:05.284 --> 00:33:07.821
I'm just hoping we
got a quorum of coaches.
00:33:07.955 --> 00:33:10.089
Once we get in there,
let me handle it, doc.
00:33:10.223 --> 00:33:11.925
- How you feeling?
- I'm good, thank you.
00:33:12.058 --> 00:33:13.259
This'll go great.
00:33:13.392 --> 00:33:15.696
- Rusty Russell.
- Luther scarborough.
00:33:15.829 --> 00:33:18.799
I heard you took a charity post
over at the orphanage.
00:33:18.932 --> 00:33:22.335
I thought, surely I must be
mistaken, but here you are.
00:33:22.468 --> 00:33:26.105
Luther, good to see you. Been
since the '35 playoffs, right?
00:33:26.239 --> 00:33:28.809
- It was a close game.
- Tough loss. For you.
00:33:28.942 --> 00:33:30.711
You did a good job down there.
00:33:30.844 --> 00:33:32.211
Yeah, it got me one of these.
00:33:32.345 --> 00:33:35.181
Oh, that's nice.
Is that, what, topaz?
00:33:35.314 --> 00:33:40.988
Apparently, you boys are filing
a request to join my district.
00:33:41.120 --> 00:33:43.690
That's correct, and I better
get in there. Good to see you.
00:33:45.258 --> 00:33:46.793
Orphan football.
00:33:48.996 --> 00:33:51.732
That's as dumb
as letting women vote.
00:33:51.865 --> 00:33:54.701
It's my belief that if
we show faith in these boys,
00:33:54.835 --> 00:33:58.739
they'll prove themselves, much
as David did against Goliath.
00:33:58.872 --> 00:34:01.307
All I ask is that you give
these boys a chance
00:34:01.440 --> 00:34:04.912
- a chance to compete.
- The interscholastic league
00:34:05.044 --> 00:34:07.915
requires a minimum enrollment
of 500 students
00:34:08.047 --> 00:34:09.883
to compete in class a football.
00:34:10.017 --> 00:34:15.421
Your home has only 150 children.
Your football team has only 12.
00:34:15.556 --> 00:34:19.091
- That's right, 12.
- Motion is denied.
00:34:19.225 --> 00:34:21.427
All right, let's get back
to why we're here today.
00:34:21.562 --> 00:34:23.362
Excuse me, Mr. Chairman.
00:34:23.496 --> 00:34:25.032
I would like to request
00:34:25.164 --> 00:34:27.466
a clarification
from the committee, if I may.
00:34:27.601 --> 00:34:29.803
- And you are?
- I'm Dr. E.P. Hall.
00:34:29.937 --> 00:34:33.072
I'm the masonic homes physician
as well as the team medic.
00:34:33.205 --> 00:34:34.340
He's the assistant.
00:34:34.473 --> 00:34:36.043
He's a drunk.
00:34:36.175 --> 00:34:37.711
You're an assistant medic?
00:34:37.844 --> 00:34:40.379
Assistant coach.
He's the head of the defense.
00:34:43.016 --> 00:34:45.586
Mr. Hall, do you or do you not
have something to address?
00:34:45.719 --> 00:34:48.021
Yes, sir, indeed I do. If I may,
00:34:48.154 --> 00:34:51.157
I would like to direct
your attention to page 27,
00:34:51.290 --> 00:34:55.294
paragraph two of the league rule
book. It states and I quote:
00:34:55.428 --> 00:34:57.263
"Any school that does not meet
00:34:57.396 --> 00:34:59.967
the minimum enrollment
of 500 students
00:35:00.099 --> 00:35:01.935
can be admitted
with a majority vote
00:35:02.069 --> 00:35:05.539
"of the coaches in
the school's division," unquote.
00:35:05.672 --> 00:35:09.275
Now, sir, I am a firm believer
in doing things by the book,
00:35:09.408 --> 00:35:11.612
which in this case,
chairman kidd,
00:35:11.745 --> 00:35:15.649
I do believe that you
participated in its authorship.
00:35:15.782 --> 00:35:18.417
- Am I in the right?
- That's a...
00:35:18.552 --> 00:35:21.088
That's a good job, doctor.
Indeed, I did.
00:35:21.220 --> 00:35:23.690
Accordingly, sir,
I would like to suggest
00:35:23.824 --> 00:35:26.927
that all of the coaches
here from division a
00:35:27.060 --> 00:35:30.463
vote on our admittance
and we'll accept the results.
00:35:30.597 --> 00:35:32.633
How'd that be, gentlemen?
00:35:32.766 --> 00:35:33.967
Good to see all of y'all.
00:35:34.101 --> 00:35:35.468
Much obliged, Mr. Secretary.
00:35:35.602 --> 00:35:36.770
Is this a joke?
00:35:36.903 --> 00:35:38.337
Page 27, paragraph two.
00:35:38.471 --> 00:35:40.339
Read it and weep, Luther.
00:35:42.809 --> 00:35:44.945
Well, hell, let's vote.
00:35:45.078 --> 00:35:48.815
As requested from our doctor,
assistant medic,
00:35:48.949 --> 00:35:50.984
all those in favor,
raise your hand.
00:36:01.160 --> 00:36:02.829
Hey, guys, they're back.
00:36:04.463 --> 00:36:05.498
They don't look happy.
00:36:05.632 --> 00:36:07.333
Doc doesn't have his whiskey.
00:36:07.466 --> 00:36:10.302
Y'all are expecting someone
to do something in favor of us?
00:36:10.436 --> 00:36:11.872
- It ain't gonna happen.
- Hey.
00:36:12.005 --> 00:36:14.541
Why you always gotta be
such a downer, Hardy?
00:36:14.675 --> 00:36:16.610
I'm just trying
to tell y'all how it is.
00:36:16.743 --> 00:36:18.310
No one cares about us.
00:36:22.149 --> 00:36:23.550
How you doing, boys?
00:36:23.684 --> 00:36:26.153
Just go on, say it.
00:36:26.285 --> 00:36:28.155
We didn't get in.
00:36:28.287 --> 00:36:29.355
Go ahead.
00:36:33.126 --> 00:36:34.226
Well, sir...
00:36:36.897 --> 00:36:38.464
- I can't do it.
- What?
00:36:38.598 --> 00:36:40.967
- You said you wanted to do it.
- I said I might do it.
00:36:41.101 --> 00:36:42.869
You told me
you were the elder statesman.
00:36:43.003 --> 00:36:45.237
- You're the head coach.
- All right, I'm just gonna
00:36:45.371 --> 00:36:47.541
go ahead and tell it
to you straight, boys.
00:36:48.842 --> 00:36:50.309
Bad news is...
00:36:52.179 --> 00:36:55.782
Each one of you is gonna need
to put on about 10 pounds
00:36:55.916 --> 00:36:57.249
because y'all gonna be playing
00:36:57.383 --> 00:36:59.886
class a
Texas high-school football.
00:37:00.020 --> 00:37:01.955
And I'll see you on the field.
00:37:02.089 --> 00:37:05.192
Good job, huh? Come on!
00:37:05.324 --> 00:37:07.426
Huh?
00:37:08.862 --> 00:37:10.831
Let's us show poly
and those city boys
00:37:10.964 --> 00:37:13.166
what we're made of!
00:37:18.805 --> 00:37:20.674
The poly
parrots welcome masonic home
00:37:20.807 --> 00:37:21.942
in their first game ever.
00:37:22.075 --> 00:37:23.677
They gotta put their best 11
00:37:23.810 --> 00:37:25.045
up against our best 11.
00:37:25.178 --> 00:37:26.913
Their 11 looks a lot bigger.
00:37:27.047 --> 00:37:28.882
It's David versus Goliath,
all right.
00:37:29.015 --> 00:37:31.218
This is gonna be entertaining.
00:37:33.620 --> 00:37:34.921
Chicken, you all right?
00:37:36.422 --> 00:37:38.625
I had to use 12-Gauge
baling wire on mine.
00:37:38.759 --> 00:37:40.894
Today, we're going up
against a team
00:37:41.027 --> 00:37:43.130
that's won
two state championships
00:37:43.262 --> 00:37:45.297
in the past five years,
00:37:45.431 --> 00:37:48.635
so you got everything to gain
and nothing to lose,
00:37:48.769 --> 00:37:49.770
so play that way.
00:37:49.903 --> 00:37:51.370
And one more thing.
00:37:51.505 --> 00:37:54.074
We win today,
we take home the game ball.
00:37:54.207 --> 00:37:55.609
So listen to me.
00:37:55.742 --> 00:37:59.079
Hit that field with heart,
focus and conviction,
00:37:59.212 --> 00:38:01.948
and you will see good results.
Let's get it done.
00:38:03.650 --> 00:38:06.787
Bribery. Now, there's
a new motivation.
00:38:06.920 --> 00:38:08.955
- To the game ball.
- Let's do it.
00:38:09.089 --> 00:38:12.926
Well, Mr. Hawk,
I'm proud you got your football team out.
00:38:13.059 --> 00:38:15.394
- Yeah.
- You only got 12 players.
00:38:15.529 --> 00:38:18.064
I mean, most of them
look like horse jockeys.
00:38:18.198 --> 00:38:21.400
Y'all got some kind
of weight restriction?
00:38:21.535 --> 00:38:24.470
Might as well call them
the mighty mites.
00:38:24.604 --> 00:38:27.707
- Can I have that?
- You got it. Yeah.
00:38:27.841 --> 00:38:29.475
Why not? You're the writer.
00:38:31.144 --> 00:38:32.546
- Pop.
- Hey, doc.
00:38:32.679 --> 00:38:35.015
- Give me a quote after the game.
- I will, for sure.
00:38:35.148 --> 00:38:37.951
Mr. Hawk, we're delighted
you're making our first game.
00:38:38.084 --> 00:38:39.820
- Good to see you.
- After all the years
00:38:39.953 --> 00:38:42.722
and all the talk, we got
a football team, thanks to you.
00:38:42.856 --> 00:38:45.324
Thanks to you for bringing
this coach in and his wife.
00:38:45.457 --> 00:38:47.627
- How's he doing?
- He's doing remarkable.
00:38:47.761 --> 00:38:49.763
You've met juanita.
They're great teachers,
00:38:49.896 --> 00:38:51.430
and he's a great football coach.
00:38:51.565 --> 00:38:52.866
We finally got a team.
00:38:52.999 --> 00:38:54.868
Finally got a team,
thanks to you.
00:38:55.001 --> 00:38:57.469
- No, thanks to you.
- Okay, heh.
00:38:57.604 --> 00:39:00.006
Only 12 players
on the orphan team,
00:39:00.140 --> 00:39:01.875
and not one can push 200 pounds.
00:39:02.008 --> 00:39:04.845
Folks, this is gonna
get ugly pretty fast.
00:39:04.978 --> 00:39:07.247
Fellas, the visiting team
will call it in the air.
00:39:07.379 --> 00:39:09.149
- Masonic home...
- Orphans.
00:39:09.282 --> 00:39:10.684
Orphans, what is your call?
00:39:10.817 --> 00:39:12.919
- Heads.
- Heads.
00:39:13.053 --> 00:39:14.955
It's tails. Poly?
00:39:15.088 --> 00:39:16.656
- We'll receive.
- Poly will receive.
00:39:16.790 --> 00:39:18.692
Y'all's parents
couldn't find the stadium?
00:39:18.825 --> 00:39:21.161
Must be pretty stupid.
00:39:23.362 --> 00:39:25.232
A skirmish
as Hardy brown wallops...
00:39:25.364 --> 00:39:27.901
- Come on, Hardy!
- Poly captain Percy maywood.
00:39:28.034 --> 00:39:31.571
I wouldn't wanna be
on the wrong side of that kid.
00:39:31.705 --> 00:39:33.573
- Who was that?
- Hardy brown.
00:39:33.707 --> 00:39:38.078
My daddy says he's
the toughest sumbitch around.
00:39:38.211 --> 00:39:40.013
We're not supposed to repeat
00:39:40.146 --> 00:39:42.448
- what your father says at home.
- Can I quote that?
00:39:42.582 --> 00:39:45.819
- Oh, no, sir, please don't.
- We'll use "son of a gun."
00:39:45.952 --> 00:39:47.687
That is unnecessary roughness.
00:39:47.821 --> 00:39:50.257
Fifteen-yard penalty
will be enforced on the kick.
00:39:50.389 --> 00:39:51.725
Hardy, you're out! Come on!
00:39:51.858 --> 00:39:53.492
Fairbanks, wheatie,
get in position.
00:39:53.627 --> 00:39:55.095
Chicken, you're in.
00:39:55.228 --> 00:39:56.930
It'll be all right, son.
00:39:57.063 --> 00:39:59.900
Leon, knock one down there.
Keep them inside the 20.
00:40:00.033 --> 00:40:01.601
Line up. Come on, boys.
00:40:03.370 --> 00:40:05.972
- What are you thinking, son?
- What are you thinking, son?
00:40:09.709 --> 00:40:11.611
And the orphans
pound the ball into the air
00:40:11.745 --> 00:40:13.580
as it twists in an ugly spiral,
00:40:13.713 --> 00:40:16.149
straight into the hands
of Percy maywood.
00:40:17.317 --> 00:40:18.184
Jesus.
00:40:18.318 --> 00:40:20.086
Get him.
00:40:20.220 --> 00:40:22.454
To the 40, the 30, the 20.
00:40:22.589 --> 00:40:24.958
And maywood practically
walks in for an easy score.
00:40:26.693 --> 00:40:28.595
What was coach Russell thinking,
00:40:28.728 --> 00:40:30.964
leaving the district champion
temple wildcats?
00:40:31.097 --> 00:40:32.299
We missed every tackle.
00:40:32.431 --> 00:40:34.134
That's all right. Keep going.
00:40:34.267 --> 00:40:35.568
I find it embarrassing.
00:40:35.702 --> 00:40:37.737
All right, a.P. Good snap, boys.
00:40:37.871 --> 00:40:40.439
Seems to me they have
no place on this field.
00:40:40.573 --> 00:40:42.275
I hope none of them get hurt.
00:40:42.409 --> 00:40:44.344
Fumble! Get the...
00:40:44.476 --> 00:40:46.179
a fumble is scooped up by poly
00:40:46.313 --> 00:40:47.948
and returned
for a walk-in touchdown.
00:40:48.081 --> 00:40:50.884
My lord, they're not
doing too good, are they?
00:40:51.017 --> 00:40:53.386
Stay down in the dirt
where you belong, loser orphan.
00:40:53.520 --> 00:40:57.123
- Hey, hey, hey, take it easy.
- Hey, Fairbanks, cut that out!
00:40:57.257 --> 00:41:00.560
Come on, now, frank, a little
scrapping builds character.
00:41:00.694 --> 00:41:01.895
It's good for the boys.
00:41:02.028 --> 00:41:03.863
I don't think it does
after every play.
00:41:03.997 --> 00:41:05.865
- My knee feels funny.
- Can you walk it off?
00:41:05.999 --> 00:41:08.601
- No, let's have a look.
- Doc, check it out.
00:41:08.735 --> 00:41:10.003
DeWitt! Come here.
00:41:10.136 --> 00:41:12.872
Cheer up, son!
It's just the first game!
00:41:13.006 --> 00:41:15.775
I need you to take 42
and drive him back, son.
00:41:15.909 --> 00:41:17.677
- Yes, sir.
- Don't let him drive you back.
00:41:17.811 --> 00:41:20.280
Get out there, boy.
Hardy, you're in.
00:41:20.413 --> 00:41:22.248
You ready, son?
These boys need you.
00:41:22.382 --> 00:41:24.184
Show them what you're made of.
Get out there.
00:41:24.317 --> 00:41:26.152
Come on, boys, you got it!
00:41:27.554 --> 00:41:28.955
Glad you could join us, Hardy.
00:41:29.089 --> 00:41:30.489
Fairbanks,
the ball's coming to you,
00:41:30.557 --> 00:41:31.758
to the left this time.
00:41:31.891 --> 00:41:34.361
By some miracle,
can we please block?
00:41:34.493 --> 00:41:36.563
Just give me the damn ball.
00:41:36.696 --> 00:41:38.665
Okay, Hardy,
you're getting the ball.
00:41:38.798 --> 00:41:41.334
- On one and...
- Break!
00:41:41.468 --> 00:41:44.204
Come on. Good blocks now, boys.
You got it. Come on!
00:41:44.337 --> 00:41:47.674
- Six-two-one! Hike!
- And here's the snap.
00:41:47.807 --> 00:41:49.407
Brown gets the ball,
sweeps to the right,
00:41:49.509 --> 00:41:51.177
mowing over a poly defender.
00:41:51.311 --> 00:41:53.780
- Cuts back to the left...
- Go! Go!
00:41:53.913 --> 00:41:57.283
And tries to bring life
into the orphan offense.
00:42:00.120 --> 00:42:01.654
Runs over his old pal maywood
00:42:01.788 --> 00:42:04.024
and into the end zone
on a magnificent run.
00:42:04.157 --> 00:42:06.026
- Touchdown, brown.
- We scored! Yes!
00:42:06.159 --> 00:42:08.061
Hold everything, folks.
00:42:08.194 --> 00:42:09.996
There's a penalty flag
on the play.
00:42:10.130 --> 00:42:13.166
Clipping, number 40!
No touchdown!
00:42:13.299 --> 00:42:16.102
- DeWitt, you dumb son of a bitch!
- Hey, he made a mistake!
00:42:16.236 --> 00:42:18.438
He's always making mistakes
and you're no better!
00:42:18.571 --> 00:42:20.273
- Hey!
- Hey!
00:42:25.378 --> 00:42:27.080
- Get off him!
- Boys! Boys!
00:42:28.381 --> 00:42:29.682
- Stop.
- Break it up!
00:42:29.816 --> 00:42:31.551
- Stop that!
- Stop it! Get off the field!
00:42:31.684 --> 00:42:33.319
- Just stop that.
- Get off the field!
00:42:33.453 --> 00:42:35.221
- Get out of here! Go on!
- Damn it.
00:42:35.355 --> 00:42:36.923
- Stop that!
- Get off the field!
00:42:37.057 --> 00:42:39.527
What's the matter with you?
Get out of here!
00:43:11.724 --> 00:43:14.327
What are you doing?
Are you copying me?
00:43:17.063 --> 00:43:18.064
Let me see that.
00:43:20.400 --> 00:43:22.435
I put this one here.
00:43:22.570 --> 00:43:24.538
That's a funny formation.
00:43:24.671 --> 00:43:26.306
What are you two doing?
00:43:27.941 --> 00:43:29.476
Well, I think I might have found
00:43:29.609 --> 00:43:31.811
my new offensive coordinator.
00:43:31.945 --> 00:43:33.713
If I can even
put an offense together.
00:43:33.847 --> 00:43:36.950
It doesn't sound like you're
adapting to your environment.
00:43:37.083 --> 00:43:39.853
I once heard a wise old coach
say something about
00:43:39.986 --> 00:43:42.622
helping his players
see what they can become.
00:43:45.258 --> 00:43:46.960
You see how she tells me
what to do?
00:43:47.093 --> 00:43:48.428
Mm-hm.
00:43:48.562 --> 00:43:50.296
You think that's funny?
00:43:50.430 --> 00:43:51.764
- No.
- I don't either.
00:44:03.476 --> 00:44:05.178
♪ The boogiewoogie shake ♪
00:44:05.311 --> 00:44:09.583
♪ boogiewoogie shake
boogiewoogie shake ♪
00:44:09.716 --> 00:44:11.519
Come on.
Are we not gonna talk anymore
00:44:11.651 --> 00:44:13.095
just because
we got our butts whupped?
00:44:13.119 --> 00:44:14.187
Exactly!
00:44:15.255 --> 00:44:16.255
All right.
00:44:17.690 --> 00:44:19.859
I want to see y'all
down on the field.
00:44:19.993 --> 00:44:21.861
Let's go. Hustle. Come on.
00:44:27.000 --> 00:44:29.702
What are we doing, coach?
00:44:29.836 --> 00:44:32.672
All right, it's
your new offense, Mr. Sealey.
00:44:32.805 --> 00:44:35.509
Here's the first change.
A yard in between each man,
00:44:35.643 --> 00:44:38.178
all the way down the line.
Okay, Fairbanks,
00:44:38.311 --> 00:44:41.381
you take it three yards back,
get on the same line as Hardy.
00:44:41.515 --> 00:44:44.050
I'm gonna have you
line up a quarter yard
00:44:44.184 --> 00:44:45.885
directly behind a.P.
For the snap.
00:44:46.019 --> 00:44:47.420
Let me show you how.
00:44:47.555 --> 00:44:50.423
- What position does that make me?
- Quarterback.
00:44:50.558 --> 00:44:52.192
Quarterback takes the snap.
00:44:52.325 --> 00:44:55.395
He's gonna pivot to his right.
Halfback comes forward.
00:44:55.529 --> 00:44:58.798
Fake that handoff to Hardy.
Fairbanks will roll right.
00:44:58.932 --> 00:45:02.035
I'm gonna pitch it to him,
or if he gets too far out,
00:45:02.168 --> 00:45:05.138
fake the pitch, keep it
yourself, take it downfield.
00:45:05.271 --> 00:45:07.807
Fairbanks becomes
your primary blocker.
00:45:07.941 --> 00:45:10.076
You'll be my coach on the field.
Make the decisions.
00:45:10.210 --> 00:45:12.580
This is how we'll beat
the bigger teams.
00:45:12.712 --> 00:45:15.014
You gotta adapt
if you're gonna be competitive.
00:45:15.148 --> 00:45:16.849
We don't have the size,
00:45:16.983 --> 00:45:19.452
so we gotta utilize
what we do have, speed.
00:45:19.587 --> 00:45:22.855
Quick huddles, few time-outs.
Catch them off guard.
00:45:22.989 --> 00:45:25.925
Wear their defense down.
That's how we'll do it.
00:45:27.493 --> 00:45:29.162
What do y'all think so far?
00:45:29.295 --> 00:45:32.265
I think we'll get our asses
kicked from here to El Paso.
00:45:32.398 --> 00:45:34.500
I don't think it matters
what offense we run.
00:45:34.635 --> 00:45:35.935
Won't be good anyways.
00:45:37.370 --> 00:45:39.272
Mr. Brown, what do you think?
00:45:39.405 --> 00:45:42.775
We had no business
playing poly to begin with.
00:45:42.909 --> 00:45:45.245
We got outplayed
and outcoached, coach.
00:45:49.115 --> 00:45:51.652
Mr. Brown's right.
00:45:51.784 --> 00:45:53.554
And I take full responsibility
00:45:53.687 --> 00:45:55.822
for what happened
on that field today.
00:45:55.955 --> 00:45:57.090
Everything.
00:45:58.224 --> 00:46:00.760
But I did learn something.
00:46:00.893 --> 00:46:05.733
I told DeWitt to drive
number 77 to hell and back.
00:46:05.865 --> 00:46:07.967
And I'm glad I did,
00:46:08.101 --> 00:46:10.537
because I got to see
what he's really made of.
00:46:10.671 --> 00:46:14.974
And I believe in him. And now
he better believe in himself.
00:46:15.108 --> 00:46:18.746
And I get it.
It's tough to believe
00:46:18.878 --> 00:46:23.283
when all you've known is
hurt and loss and abandonment.
00:46:23.416 --> 00:46:26.085
I know because I felt it
my whole life.
00:46:29.422 --> 00:46:31.057
I'm an orphan.
00:46:32.559 --> 00:46:34.662
Just like all of y'all.
00:46:34.794 --> 00:46:38.331
I know what it feels like
to not have a mother or a father
00:46:38.464 --> 00:46:41.334
cheering you on from the stands.
00:46:41.467 --> 00:46:43.102
I look at you boys,
00:46:43.236 --> 00:46:46.839
and I can honestly say
I'm proud to be an orphan.
00:46:46.973 --> 00:46:50.343
I'm not ashamed,
and I'm not worthless.
00:46:50.476 --> 00:46:52.546
I'm a mighty warrior.
00:46:52.680 --> 00:46:55.148
And you'll feel the same way
00:46:55.281 --> 00:46:59.385
if you can believe in yourselves
and believe in each other.
00:46:59.520 --> 00:47:01.454
You do that,
you'll be able to do
00:47:01.588 --> 00:47:04.824
what they all say is impossible.
00:47:04.957 --> 00:47:08.494
So say it with me. I am worthy.
00:47:08.629 --> 00:47:11.632
- I am worthy.
- Believe it!
00:47:11.765 --> 00:47:14.834
- I am valuable.
- I am valuable!
00:47:14.967 --> 00:47:18.404
- I'm a mighty warrior!
- I'm a mighty warrior!
00:47:18.539 --> 00:47:21.374
- I'm a mighty orphan!
- I'm a mighty orphan!
00:47:21.508 --> 00:47:23.910
Believe as I do.
00:47:24.043 --> 00:47:27.046
Because it's true. It's true.
00:47:30.784 --> 00:47:33.721
- Leon, break it down.
- All right, get in here.
00:47:33.853 --> 00:47:35.522
Let's get a "orphans" on three!
00:47:35.656 --> 00:47:37.524
One, two, three!
00:47:37.658 --> 00:47:38.658
Orphans!
00:47:47.133 --> 00:47:49.369
Mr. Hardy, let me
have a word with you.
00:47:52.171 --> 00:47:53.873
I ain't gonna
yell your stupid chant.
00:47:54.006 --> 00:47:56.109
And I'm not gonna make you.
00:47:57.910 --> 00:48:00.046
But you do need
to make a choice.
00:48:02.048 --> 00:48:07.019
Now, I obligated you to be here.
That was my mistake.
00:48:07.153 --> 00:48:10.223
You're free to leave
anytime you want.
00:48:10.356 --> 00:48:12.659
That run of yours today,
00:48:12.793 --> 00:48:15.863
son, that was one
of the best I've ever seen.
00:48:15.995 --> 00:48:18.498
And it's all natural instinct.
00:48:18.632 --> 00:48:20.433
Must've felt pretty good.
00:48:23.403 --> 00:48:25.104
Why don't you go warm up?
00:48:32.111 --> 00:48:34.947
So, what do you think
about the new offense?
00:48:35.081 --> 00:48:38.852
Sir, I think you'll piss a lot
of people off, but I like it.
00:48:38.985 --> 00:48:42.890
Now, if you excuse me,
I'm freezing my nuts off.
00:48:43.022 --> 00:48:44.123
All right.
00:48:49.495 --> 00:48:51.431
Armed with Betty's drawing,
00:48:51.565 --> 00:48:55.268
rusty was about to change
the game of football forever.
00:48:55.401 --> 00:48:56.837
Shift!
00:48:56.969 --> 00:48:59.338
The orphan offense has lined up
00:48:59.472 --> 00:49:01.174
in a formation
I have never seen before.
00:49:01.307 --> 00:49:04.578
What the hell is he doing lining
up behind the center like that?
00:49:04.711 --> 00:49:07.881
Appears to be some kind
of new formation, coach.
00:49:08.014 --> 00:49:09.315
I got that.
00:49:11.518 --> 00:49:13.085
Looks like cheating to me.
00:49:13.219 --> 00:49:14.454
Six-two, split!
00:49:15.923 --> 00:49:17.624
- Hike!
- Sealey takes the snap.
00:49:17.758 --> 00:49:20.159
Pitches it to the outside
to Hardy brown.
00:49:20.293 --> 00:49:22.495
He takes it up the sideline.
00:49:22.629 --> 00:49:25.364
Brown rumbles down the field
like a locomotive.
00:49:25.498 --> 00:49:28.034
They fooled the entire defense
on that play, folks.
00:49:28.167 --> 00:49:30.436
- I'll be damned.
- Brown takes it all the way
00:49:30.571 --> 00:49:34.040
for an 80-yard touchdown.
00:49:34.173 --> 00:49:35.374
That's a good start.
00:49:37.711 --> 00:49:39.847
Gosh dang, he's fast, coach.
00:49:39.979 --> 00:49:42.683
He is. He's fast.
You're observant.
00:49:42.816 --> 00:49:45.351
Everybody's got a gift.
What's ours?
00:49:48.087 --> 00:49:49.255
Shift, shift!
00:49:49.388 --> 00:49:51.491
There's a shift.
00:49:53.259 --> 00:49:55.228
- We're not looking good, coach.
- Dang it.
00:49:55.361 --> 00:49:57.230
- Thataway. Huddle.
- Hike!
00:49:57.363 --> 00:49:59.566
These fellas have come out
swinging tonight,
00:49:59.700 --> 00:50:03.369
- take no prisoners.
- Sweep left! Sideline!
00:50:03.504 --> 00:50:05.238
The orphans have
fooled the rams again.
00:50:05.371 --> 00:50:07.473
- Catch him!
- Fairbanks runs in the end zone
00:50:07.608 --> 00:50:08.809
untouched and smiling.
00:50:08.942 --> 00:50:10.611
- Touchdown.
- Oh, my.
00:50:10.744 --> 00:50:12.846
I'm thinking about
shooting all the parents,
00:50:12.980 --> 00:50:16.482
starting my own orphanage. Maybe
that'll motivate these boys.
00:50:16.617 --> 00:50:20.186
I want you to imagine
your opponent is Mr. Wynn.
00:50:21.922 --> 00:50:23.322
Thanks, doc.
00:50:23.456 --> 00:50:26.158
- That's a good analogy, doc.
- We'll see.
00:50:26.292 --> 00:50:27.326
Set. Hike!
00:50:30.296 --> 00:50:32.733
Speedy Leonard roach
leveling the halfback.
00:50:32.866 --> 00:50:34.066
Nice to meet you, fat-ass.
00:50:36.202 --> 00:50:37.838
Pardon my French, but the rams
00:50:37.971 --> 00:50:39.806
are getting their butts
handed to them.
00:50:39.940 --> 00:50:41.307
My god, sealey has it.
00:50:41.440 --> 00:50:43.510
Sealey looks like a running duck
00:50:43.644 --> 00:50:45.311
as he hits
the wide-open pastures.
00:50:45.444 --> 00:50:46.547
They're running outside.
00:50:46.680 --> 00:50:48.849
They are running to the outside.
00:50:48.982 --> 00:50:51.018
The five,
and touchdown, orphans.
00:50:57.891 --> 00:51:00.561
- Good job, boys.
- That'll be the dagger there.
00:51:00.694 --> 00:51:03.229
And coach Russell's
underdog orphans
00:51:03.362 --> 00:51:05.032
will get to take home
the game ball.
00:51:06.533 --> 00:51:08.200
Nothing I admire more
00:51:08.334 --> 00:51:10.571
than a full-service
football team.
00:51:10.704 --> 00:51:12.271
And they played
a great game today.
00:51:12.405 --> 00:51:15.207
They played all right.
Still room for improvement.
00:51:15.341 --> 00:51:19.613
Improvement? Didn't we just whup
the tar out of general mills?
00:51:19.746 --> 00:51:22.214
- You mean mineral Wells?
- You know that's who I meant.
00:51:22.348 --> 00:51:24.952
Hey, doc, we had eight penalties
for over 100 yards.
00:51:25.084 --> 00:51:27.486
We can't compete against
real teams playing like this.
00:51:27.621 --> 00:51:29.255
We gotta
get these boys refocused.
00:51:29.388 --> 00:51:31.959
We just win our first game
with your new system,
00:51:32.091 --> 00:51:33.560
and suddenly,
you're a pessimist.
00:51:33.694 --> 00:51:35.796
- I need another drink.
- Oh, now you're mad, huh?
00:51:35.929 --> 00:51:38.732
- I'm not mad. I'm thirsty.
- How's it looking, Leon?
00:51:38.865 --> 00:51:40.968
Try to turn her over, coach.
00:51:41.100 --> 00:51:44.303
I saw claudette colbert
do this in a movie once.
00:51:44.437 --> 00:51:46.607
We're gonna be here all day.
00:51:48.542 --> 00:51:50.376
Shit.
00:51:50.510 --> 00:51:53.145
You orphans can
change the oil in my car
00:51:53.279 --> 00:51:55.549
when you get done there.
00:51:55.682 --> 00:51:57.718
Get down here
and say that to my face.
00:51:57.851 --> 00:52:00.520
- I'm right here, boy. Come on.
- Come on, boys. Let's go.
00:52:00.654 --> 00:52:02.522
You just wait, I'll tear you up.
00:52:02.656 --> 00:52:04.958
- You heard him.
- You don't want this.
00:52:05.092 --> 00:52:06.359
You boys need a lift?
00:52:06.492 --> 00:52:08.327
No, we're good. How you doing?
00:52:08.461 --> 00:52:11.430
Very well. Coach, you need
to get yourself a nice bus
00:52:11.565 --> 00:52:14.266
- like this for these boys.
- Yeah, that's nice.
00:52:14.400 --> 00:52:17.771
Fella on the radio said
y'all got your first victory.
00:52:17.904 --> 00:52:20.774
- We sure did.
- Everyone beats mineral Wells.
00:52:22.141 --> 00:52:24.176
See you next season, coach.
00:52:24.310 --> 00:52:25.646
If you survive this one.
00:52:25.779 --> 00:52:27.681
I like them tiny cowboy boots.
00:52:27.814 --> 00:52:30.017
I wanna get some for my
daughter. Where you get those?
00:52:32.151 --> 00:52:33.720
Y'all enjoy that fresh air.
00:52:33.854 --> 00:52:35.122
Good to see you.
00:52:40.627 --> 00:52:42.194
Doc, you shouldn't
have done that.
00:52:42.328 --> 00:52:44.765
- I know. It was half full.
- That's not what I meant.
00:52:44.898 --> 00:52:46.967
Come on, get in. Let's go.
00:52:59.780 --> 00:53:02.582
Huh. Kid, you ought
to come work for me
00:53:02.716 --> 00:53:04.483
at the star-telegram.
00:53:04.618 --> 00:53:06.019
You'll sell more papers.
00:53:08.121 --> 00:53:10.891
You know what them Dallas
girls say after a good poke?
00:53:11.024 --> 00:53:12.859
- No, what?
- "Get off me, dad.
00:53:12.993 --> 00:53:15.595
You're crushing my smokes."
00:53:15.729 --> 00:53:18.899
The highland park
Scots are one of the toughest teams
00:53:19.032 --> 00:53:20.567
and a favorite in the district.
00:53:20.701 --> 00:53:22.836
You still write fantasy
for that rag of yours?
00:53:22.969 --> 00:53:24.336
Amon Carter.
00:53:24.470 --> 00:53:26.073
We ain't the fort worth
star-telegram,
00:53:26.205 --> 00:53:27.641
but we're surviving.
00:53:27.774 --> 00:53:29.509
What the hell you doing
so far east?
00:53:29.643 --> 00:53:31.210
You lose a bird dog or a wife?
00:53:31.343 --> 00:53:34.548
I wanted to see what all
the goddang fuss was about.
00:53:34.681 --> 00:53:37.216
I tell you what.
I'll make you a wager.
00:53:37.349 --> 00:53:40.453
I'll give you your 12 orphans,
plus 30 points.
00:53:40.587 --> 00:53:41.755
- Thirty points?
- Uh-huh.
00:53:41.888 --> 00:53:42.956
Five dollars.
00:53:43.090 --> 00:53:44.958
Between the prince
and the pauper?
00:53:45.092 --> 00:53:47.359
- Pun intended.
- Five will get you 50. Done.
00:53:54.901 --> 00:53:56.670
- You all right?
- Yes, sir.
00:53:56.803 --> 00:53:59.438
Tell you what. I can't believe
what I overheard.
00:53:59.573 --> 00:54:02.408
Scots say that they're gonna
beat us by 50 points.
00:54:02.542 --> 00:54:04.077
Fifty!
00:54:04.211 --> 00:54:07.080
They said we're nothing
but some hillbilly orphans,
00:54:07.214 --> 00:54:09.116
and that I was a washed-up,
00:54:09.248 --> 00:54:11.918
four-eyed,
half blind orphan coach.
00:54:12.052 --> 00:54:15.655
- Heh, and that hurts my feelings.
- Mine too.
00:54:15.789 --> 00:54:18.992
So, what do y'all say
we go out there
00:54:19.126 --> 00:54:21.228
and we show
these silver-spooned scotties
00:54:21.360 --> 00:54:23.196
how us country boys play ball?
00:54:23.329 --> 00:54:25.098
And from the moment
we hit that field,
00:54:25.232 --> 00:54:28.467
from that first whistle,
we light them up?
00:54:28.602 --> 00:54:30.369
- Yeah!
- Get out there
00:54:30.504 --> 00:54:32.072
and take care of business!
00:54:32.205 --> 00:54:33.807
Come on, boys! Let's do it.
00:54:33.940 --> 00:54:35.575
This is what we worked towards.
00:54:35.709 --> 00:54:37.844
Get out there. Attaway.
00:54:37.978 --> 00:54:39.813
Reverse psychology. Good one.
00:54:41.447 --> 00:54:43.850
Fight, fight, fight,
you mighty mites!
00:54:43.984 --> 00:54:46.285
Run the left, run the right!
00:54:46.418 --> 00:54:49.156
Down the middle
and through the air!
00:54:49.288 --> 00:54:52.259
The mighty mites
will all be there!
00:54:52.391 --> 00:54:55.128
The Scots will receive as
the orphans get ready to kick.
00:54:58.198 --> 00:54:59.900
Bouncing on the ground
and scooped up
00:55:00.033 --> 00:55:02.334
by the scottie return man,
who turns upfield.
00:55:02.468 --> 00:55:05.437
- Fumble!
- He's lit up by number 43,
00:55:05.572 --> 00:55:07.874
Hardy brown.
00:55:09.810 --> 00:55:12.279
Sealey lines up a quarter
of a yard behind center...
00:55:12.411 --> 00:55:14.815
All right, boys, come on.
00:55:14.948 --> 00:55:18.652
- Hike!
- Sealey tosses it to Fairbanks.
00:55:18.785 --> 00:55:20.821
Takes it down
to the ten, the five,
00:55:20.954 --> 00:55:22.823
and touchdown, orphans!
00:55:22.956 --> 00:55:26.193
- Touchdown! Ha-ha!
- There we go, doc.
00:55:26.325 --> 00:55:28.427
You sandbagging me, pauper?
00:55:28.562 --> 00:55:30.597
- Every chance.
- Fifty-three!
00:55:30.730 --> 00:55:32.933
The orphans are running circles
around the scotties,
00:55:33.066 --> 00:55:34.868
who look confused out there.
00:55:43.342 --> 00:55:45.712
- Look at snoggs!
- Roach goes on a wild ride,
00:55:45.846 --> 00:55:48.748
as the Scots halfback drags him
for well over five yards
00:55:48.882 --> 00:55:51.151
to get the Scots close
to the first down marker.
00:55:51.284 --> 00:55:53.053
Beat us by 50, huh?
00:55:53.186 --> 00:55:56.156
- It's a damn rodeo.
- Show some mercy, snoggs!
00:55:57.824 --> 00:56:00.392
- Time-out.
- Highland park calls a time-out.
00:56:00.527 --> 00:56:02.562
Beck covers the guy
taking the snap.
00:56:02.696 --> 00:56:04.463
Hank, you take the halfback.
00:56:04.598 --> 00:56:06.465
Milo, you take the fullback.
00:56:06.600 --> 00:56:07.600
Hike!
00:56:09.870 --> 00:56:12.772
Scots cause a turnover
and have found a solution
00:56:12.906 --> 00:56:14.373
in shutting down the wing-t
00:56:14.507 --> 00:56:16.375
by tackling everybody
in the backfield,
00:56:16.509 --> 00:56:18.578
- no matter who has the ball.
- They figured out
00:56:18.712 --> 00:56:20.680
how to shut down
your wing t, coach.
00:56:20.814 --> 00:56:22.015
Looks that way, doc.
00:56:22.148 --> 00:56:24.818
Don't worry.
My defense will hold them.
00:56:24.951 --> 00:56:27.520
Well, this is it, folks.
Do or die for the Scots,
00:56:27.654 --> 00:56:29.488
who can punch it in for the win.
00:56:29.623 --> 00:56:31.457
Not over till it's over.
00:56:31.591 --> 00:56:33.760
Shift!
00:56:33.894 --> 00:56:35.028
Hike!
00:56:37.130 --> 00:56:40.033
Whoa! Yes! Defense!
00:56:44.337 --> 00:56:46.106
Ladies and gentlemen,
the game is over
00:56:46.239 --> 00:56:47.707
and highland park has lost.
00:56:49.075 --> 00:56:50.543
Thank you, easy money.
00:56:50.677 --> 00:56:52.746
Best 50 bucks I ever spent.
00:56:52.879 --> 00:56:56.182
Congratulations, coach.
We should've never voted you in.
00:56:56.316 --> 00:56:59.052
I cannot believe my eyes,
folks, and I'm just as stunned
00:56:59.185 --> 00:57:00.754
as the highland park fans today.
00:57:00.887 --> 00:57:03.089
This might go down
as one of the biggest upsets
00:57:03.223 --> 00:57:05.825
in all of Texas
high-school football.
00:57:09.863 --> 00:57:10.997
Break!
00:57:13.033 --> 00:57:15.434
Set! Hike!
00:57:17.070 --> 00:57:19.406
Wouldn't old Luther scarborough
have him a heyday
00:57:19.539 --> 00:57:22.441
if he saw you out here
coaching these boys on Saturday?
00:57:22.575 --> 00:57:24.411
Why, he'd get a hold of the uil,
00:57:24.544 --> 00:57:26.313
get you kicked out
of class a football
00:57:26.445 --> 00:57:28.782
- faster than I can talk about it.
- I'm not coaching.
00:57:28.915 --> 00:57:32.886
They're playing on their own,
for fun. I'm eating an apple.
00:57:33.019 --> 00:57:35.454
Lot of talk about
that Hardy brown boy.
00:57:35.588 --> 00:57:37.557
He hits godawful hard
just to be 17.
00:57:37.691 --> 00:57:39.491
Well, pop,
that's what people do.
00:57:39.626 --> 00:57:41.995
They talk and they gossip.
00:57:42.128 --> 00:57:44.931
Or in your case,
write what people gossip about.
00:57:45.065 --> 00:57:47.499
What if I wrote your orphans
going to state this year?
00:57:47.634 --> 00:57:50.003
I'd say you're gonna lose
a lot of readers,
00:57:50.136 --> 00:57:52.872
especially on the poly side
of town. I'd be careful.
00:57:53.006 --> 00:57:56.242
Not gonna lose readers.
They'll want you to win.
00:57:56.376 --> 00:57:59.646
Everybody'll be behind a team
with nothing, just like them.
00:57:59.779 --> 00:58:02.415
Team cobbled together with
a bunch of resilient orphans,
00:58:02.549 --> 00:58:05.118
on top of that, an orphan coach.
00:58:05.251 --> 00:58:07.921
Quite the backstory. War hero.
00:58:08.054 --> 00:58:11.458
Overcame blindness
to become an all-American.
00:58:11.624 --> 00:58:14.361
Sounds like you already
got your story, pop.
00:58:14.493 --> 00:58:15.895
Good talking to you.
00:58:16.029 --> 00:58:18.198
And I like your articles.
Keep it up.
00:58:21.500 --> 00:58:24.337
Y'all remember what to do?
Call this the snoggs special.
00:58:24.471 --> 00:58:27.340
- You got this?
- Yeah, I can do it. I got it.
00:58:27.474 --> 00:58:29.876
- On one and...
- Break!
00:58:32.746 --> 00:58:33.746
Set.
00:58:35.248 --> 00:58:37.684
- I'm gonna smoke you, chicken.
- Just you try.
00:58:37.817 --> 00:58:38.818
Hike!
00:58:45.592 --> 00:58:46.926
Damn it, snoggs!
00:58:47.060 --> 00:58:48.995
If you can't do this,
I'll get Fairbanks to.
00:58:49.129 --> 00:58:51.364
- I can do it!
- You know what they say?
00:58:51.498 --> 00:58:53.533
You play with it too much,
you'll go blind.
00:58:53.666 --> 00:58:55.735
Hey, Leon.
00:58:55.869 --> 00:58:57.937
Snoggs special, again.
00:59:02.208 --> 00:59:04.411
In the depth of the depression,
00:59:04.544 --> 00:59:06.646
people needed something
to cling to.
00:59:06.780 --> 00:59:08.181
And pop was right.
00:59:08.314 --> 00:59:10.683
The orphans were
just the classic underdog
00:59:10.817 --> 00:59:13.653
that the common folk
could get behind.
00:59:13.787 --> 00:59:15.588
This love affair between Texas
00:59:15.722 --> 00:59:18.758
and its little band of orphans
was not hard to fathom.
00:59:18.892 --> 00:59:21.928
Granted, most folks
were in love with football.
00:59:22.062 --> 00:59:26.633
It was just as indigenous
as oil Wells and tumbleweeds.
00:59:26.766 --> 00:59:30.703
These scrappy orphans
are undersized, outnumbered,
00:59:30.837 --> 00:59:33.339
and every damn one of them
plays both ways.
00:59:33.473 --> 00:59:36.544
I mean, they are full
of bull piss and vinegar.
00:59:36.676 --> 00:59:39.112
That's exactly
the kind of cinderella story
00:59:39.245 --> 00:59:40.780
this country needs,
00:59:40.914 --> 00:59:43.349
which is why you should've been
the one to break it
00:59:43.483 --> 00:59:46.052
and not the fort worth press.
00:59:46.186 --> 00:59:48.556
I had no idea
you had enough leisure time
00:59:48.688 --> 00:59:51.124
to read every paper
in the country, Mr. President.
00:59:51.257 --> 00:59:54.562
I don't. But Eleanor does.
00:59:55.962 --> 00:59:57.263
By the time
00:59:57.397 --> 00:59:59.299
anyone can figure out
how to stop it,
00:59:59.432 --> 01:00:00.633
I'm sure you will have
01:00:00.767 --> 01:00:02.402
already thought of
an even better scheme.
01:00:02.536 --> 01:00:04.256
- That's what you think.
- It's what I know.
01:00:04.337 --> 01:00:07.707
All right, I wanna bring up
one thing about the offense.
01:00:07.841 --> 01:00:11.044
- Now, hang on. Hang on.
- Get away. I want to see c.D.
01:00:11.177 --> 01:00:12.812
C.d.! C.D.!
01:00:13.913 --> 01:00:15.048
Who's c.D.?
01:00:19.553 --> 01:00:20.553
I am.
01:00:21.921 --> 01:00:23.022
Oh.
01:00:24.090 --> 01:00:25.158
Oh, c.D.
01:00:26.459 --> 01:00:29.195
Oh, my boy, I've... oh!
01:00:29.329 --> 01:00:31.331
Oh, I've missed you.
01:00:34.968 --> 01:00:37.605
Now, let me get a look at you.
01:00:37.737 --> 01:00:41.174
Oh, you're...
You're so tall and thin.
01:00:44.077 --> 01:00:45.078
You...
01:00:46.146 --> 01:00:47.847
You look like your daddy.
01:00:50.817 --> 01:00:53.186
How old are you now?
01:00:53.319 --> 01:00:55.054
I'm 17.
01:00:56.322 --> 01:00:57.857
Been here almost ten years now,
01:00:57.991 --> 01:01:00.693
since the day
you dropped me off.
01:01:00.827 --> 01:01:02.295
Oh...
01:01:02.428 --> 01:01:05.599
I'm... I'm so sorry.
01:01:05.732 --> 01:01:09.936
I never should've given you up.
It was a mistake.
01:01:10.069 --> 01:01:11.137
I...
01:01:11.271 --> 01:01:12.839
After your father left,
01:01:12.972 --> 01:01:16.142
I just...
I didn't know what to do.
01:01:16.276 --> 01:01:18.011
What are you doing here, mom?
01:01:19.179 --> 01:01:20.514
Oh.
01:01:20.648 --> 01:01:23.917
I want you
to come with me and Earl
01:01:24.050 --> 01:01:26.986
and spend this coming
Thanksgiving with us,
01:01:27.120 --> 01:01:29.590
so we can be a family again.
01:01:29.722 --> 01:01:32.560
He's very nice,
once you get to know him.
01:01:34.194 --> 01:01:35.895
So come on. Come on, baby,
01:01:36.029 --> 01:01:37.897
you get your things
and let's go.
01:01:39.766 --> 01:01:41.234
C.d.?
01:01:41.367 --> 01:01:43.903
That's not my name anymore.
It's wheatie.
01:01:44.037 --> 01:01:45.905
Oh, okay.
01:01:46.039 --> 01:01:49.943
Well, wheatie, come on.
Hurry up and grab your things.
01:01:50.076 --> 01:01:53.947
Wanda, get the damn kid
and let's go.
01:01:54.080 --> 01:01:56.115
Now!
01:01:56.249 --> 01:01:57.884
Know what?
I'm gonna be in the car.
01:01:58.017 --> 01:02:01.221
Just come to the car.
We're gonna go home.
01:02:08.962 --> 01:02:10.096
No.
01:02:12.566 --> 01:02:13.566
I am home.
01:02:17.337 --> 01:02:20.740
Don't you talk back to me!
01:02:20.873 --> 01:02:23.611
I am your mother!
01:02:25.411 --> 01:02:27.413
- Now, hold on.
- Get in the car.
01:02:27.548 --> 01:02:29.583
- Calm down.
- Come on, baby. Come to the car.
01:02:29.717 --> 01:02:31.050
Please come to the car.
01:02:31.184 --> 01:02:32.452
- Come to the car!
- I said...
01:02:32.586 --> 01:02:34.220
- This is not your home!
- Ms. Sealey!
01:02:34.354 --> 01:02:36.489
You let go of me!
01:02:36.624 --> 01:02:38.458
You all right?
01:02:38.592 --> 01:02:40.360
Well...
01:02:40.493 --> 01:02:42.462
If you...
01:02:42.596 --> 01:02:44.264
If you change your mind...
01:02:51.404 --> 01:02:52.772
You all right?
01:03:01.881 --> 01:03:04.652
What are we gonna do without
a quarterback now, coach?
01:03:40.754 --> 01:03:42.455
Goddamn it!
01:04:04.043 --> 01:04:06.979
You're an orphan now,
c.D. Sealey.
01:04:07.113 --> 01:04:08.414
Come here.
01:04:11.984 --> 01:04:14.688
Hey, you'll be all right.
01:04:31.137 --> 01:04:33.172
Mommy!
01:04:33.306 --> 01:04:35.542
George, look after rusty.
01:04:35.676 --> 01:04:37.009
Rusty, it's time.
01:04:39.078 --> 01:04:41.481
When you run out of here,
01:04:41.615 --> 01:04:44.250
you're gonna break right.
We got to spread out.
01:04:44.384 --> 01:04:46.720
Attack! Spread out!
01:04:52.191 --> 01:04:53.259
George!
01:04:54.728 --> 01:04:56.496
Spread out!
01:05:09.510 --> 01:05:12.311
He spread them out on
the field and let them run.
01:05:12.445 --> 01:05:14.380
Totally innovative.
01:05:14.515 --> 01:05:17.283
- Widen out, snoggs.
- They can't do this.
01:05:17.417 --> 01:05:19.720
They can't spread out
all over the field.
01:05:19.853 --> 01:05:21.622
As long as they have
seven on the line,
01:05:21.755 --> 01:05:23.235
they can spread out
however they want.
01:05:23.356 --> 01:05:24.357
This ain't football.
01:05:24.490 --> 01:05:26.292
You don't just spread out.
01:05:26.426 --> 01:05:27.960
He did it because his players
01:05:28.094 --> 01:05:30.430
were too small
to fight toe-to-toe
01:05:30.564 --> 01:05:33.399
with the bigger boys
from the bigger schools.
01:05:44.043 --> 01:05:46.245
The spread offense was simple.
01:05:46.379 --> 01:05:50.049
The ends break wide
to get open and catch the ball.
01:05:50.183 --> 01:05:52.719
Until that time, passing
and catching the football
01:05:52.853 --> 01:05:56.289
was something as rare
as rusty Russell himself.
01:05:56.422 --> 01:05:59.292
The spread offense
would go on to become
01:05:59.425 --> 01:06:01.762
one of the greatest innovations
of the passing game
01:06:01.895 --> 01:06:03.764
in modern football.
01:06:03.897 --> 01:06:05.298
And pop was right.
01:06:05.431 --> 01:06:07.868
Everyone from El Paso
to brownsville
01:06:08.000 --> 01:06:10.771
had taken a fancy
to the perennial underdogs
01:06:10.904 --> 01:06:12.940
in their tattered uniforms.
01:06:13.072 --> 01:06:14.508
And winning did exactly
01:06:14.641 --> 01:06:17.310
what rusty thought
it would for the boys.
01:06:17.443 --> 01:06:20.146
Being an orphan,
and one from the masonic home,
01:06:20.279 --> 01:06:22.816
was something
you could now say with pride.
01:06:25.051 --> 01:06:27.320
Naturally, the rough-hewn boys
playing football
01:06:27.453 --> 01:06:32.158
would soon be idealized
like the cowboys of old.
01:06:32.291 --> 01:06:34.327
That's not your money.
That's the orphans'.
01:06:34.460 --> 01:06:36.797
Are you accusing me
of stealing? Ha!
01:06:44.270 --> 01:06:46.105
"Why so much grief for me?"
01:06:46.239 --> 01:06:48.007
Brown just might be
01:06:48.140 --> 01:06:50.176
the toughest kid
I've seen in years.
01:06:50.309 --> 01:06:52.513
"No man will hurl me down
to death, against my fate."
01:06:52.646 --> 01:06:54.715
Like a ton of bricks,
brown lays into him.
01:06:54.848 --> 01:06:55.883
"And fate?"
01:06:57.518 --> 01:06:59.352
"No one alive
has ever escaped it..."
01:07:01.120 --> 01:07:02.923
The mighty orphans win again.
01:07:03.055 --> 01:07:05.024
"Neither brave man
nor coward..."
01:07:05.157 --> 01:07:07.360
Coach Russell does it again.
01:07:07.493 --> 01:07:09.830
The orphans just might
win the district.
01:07:09.963 --> 01:07:12.164
"...i tell you...
It is born with us
01:07:12.298 --> 01:07:13.767
the day that we are born."
01:07:15.201 --> 01:07:16.201
Very nice.
01:07:22.441 --> 01:07:25.478
All right, boys,
give me eight wins! Get it!
01:07:25.612 --> 01:07:26.747
And just like that,
01:07:26.880 --> 01:07:28.247
the mites were now headed
01:07:28.381 --> 01:07:29.850
to the regional championship
01:07:29.983 --> 01:07:33.520
to face their old friends
at poly high.
01:07:33.654 --> 01:07:36.723
Oh, doc,
did you forget something?
01:07:40.994 --> 01:07:43.030
Thank you, juanita.
01:07:43.162 --> 01:07:44.898
For everything.
01:07:45.032 --> 01:07:48.200
It's the best Thanksgiving
I've had in 20 years.
01:07:48.334 --> 01:07:49.870
Felt like family again.
01:07:50.003 --> 01:07:51.738
We are family, doc.
01:07:51.872 --> 01:07:53.674
If you ask me,
y'all are the best thing
01:07:53.807 --> 01:07:55.609
to ever happen to this place.
01:07:57.176 --> 01:07:58.512
Good night.
01:07:58.645 --> 01:07:59.880
Night.
01:08:06.352 --> 01:08:08.220
Sorry.
01:08:09.923 --> 01:08:11.490
Snoggs?
01:08:36.783 --> 01:08:38.484
I got that for you, ma'am.
01:08:38.619 --> 01:08:41.153
I didn't know they were showing
Oliver twist tonight.
01:08:41.287 --> 01:08:42.689
Think you're cute?
01:08:42.823 --> 01:08:45.191
Leave them, Hardy.
They're just bullies.
01:08:45.324 --> 01:08:47.761
Two-time state champion amarillo
01:08:47.894 --> 01:08:49.596
is home to halfback
myrle greathouse.
01:08:49.730 --> 01:08:52.331
Standing over 6 feet tall
and weighing 240 pounds,
01:08:52.465 --> 01:08:54.367
no wonder scouts are calling him
01:08:54.500 --> 01:08:55.945
the best high-school player
in america.
01:08:55.969 --> 01:08:57.004
He's not. Hardy brown is.
01:08:57.136 --> 01:08:59.940
He's a monster.
01:09:00.073 --> 01:09:02.141
Well, hell,
they ain't faced us yet.
01:09:02.274 --> 01:09:03.274
Damn right.
01:09:04.678 --> 01:09:06.580
- Hey!
- Come on, back up!
01:09:06.713 --> 01:09:08.247
- Let's go!
- Back it up!
01:09:08.381 --> 01:09:10.984
- I'll see you on Friday!
- I'll see you there!
01:09:30.169 --> 01:09:31.303
Son of a bitch!
01:09:35.509 --> 01:09:38.145
Every decision in life
has consequences, boys.
01:09:38.277 --> 01:09:40.413
Hit the tower. Hustle!
01:09:40.547 --> 01:09:42.516
I didn't even do anything.
01:09:42.649 --> 01:09:45.018
If I live through this...
01:09:45.152 --> 01:09:47.721
- I'll kill you.
- Oh, do it now.
01:09:47.854 --> 01:09:50.057
- Okay.
- Mr. Remmert.
01:09:50.189 --> 01:09:51.892
Highland park coaches
pooled together
01:09:52.025 --> 01:09:54.528
and bought y'all
brand-new game jerseys.
01:09:54.661 --> 01:09:56.697
Although I got half a mind
to send them back
01:09:56.830 --> 01:09:58.590
after that damn stunt
they pulled last night.
01:09:58.699 --> 01:10:01.768
- You hear about it?
- Oh, yeah, I heard. Sorry.
01:10:01.902 --> 01:10:04.037
Hey, thanks for these.
Sorry to hear about your leg.
01:10:04.171 --> 01:10:06.873
Yeah, well.
01:10:07.007 --> 01:10:09.042
Oh, man, they burned his leg.
01:10:09.176 --> 01:10:11.545
- Yeah, I know. I heard about it.
- Yeah.
01:10:17.784 --> 01:10:19.653
So, doc...
01:10:19.786 --> 01:10:23.557
You know we're the closest thing
to a father these boys have.
01:10:23.690 --> 01:10:25.224
We gotta set an example.
01:10:27.426 --> 01:10:30.429
You gotta have some dignity
and stop with this.
01:10:30.564 --> 01:10:32.364
What we do, they'll do.
01:10:33.900 --> 01:10:35.669
No more.
01:10:35.802 --> 01:10:37.503
What the hell
are you doing that...
01:10:37.637 --> 01:10:39.973
No, it's all right.
01:10:40.107 --> 01:10:41.208
I mean it.
01:10:43.442 --> 01:10:45.145
There you go.
01:10:45.277 --> 01:10:46.646
You'll be okay.
01:10:56.355 --> 01:10:59.559
You can tell a lot about a man
by the kind of shoes he wears.
01:11:01.260 --> 01:11:02.996
What kind of man am I, Luther?
01:11:04.430 --> 01:11:05.966
Oh...
01:11:08.300 --> 01:11:12.438
You're the kind that wants
to be in charge, but ain't.
01:11:12.572 --> 01:11:15.108
That's why you obsess
over your shiny shoes.
01:11:15.242 --> 01:11:17.644
They make you feel important...
01:11:17.778 --> 01:11:18.779
But you're not.
01:11:18.912 --> 01:11:21.948
That's where
you're wrong, coach.
01:11:22.082 --> 01:11:24.951
You see, 'cause what I have
in this folder
01:11:25.085 --> 01:11:27.254
could affect your season.
01:11:27.386 --> 01:11:30.891
If that's not important to you,
well, I don't know.
01:11:33.392 --> 01:11:36.263
Don't you want it?
Yeah, I guess he does.
01:11:36.395 --> 01:11:40.567
Uh, I think that your
brother-in-law, Rodney kidd,
01:11:40.700 --> 01:11:42.869
will find that
intriguing as well.
01:11:43.003 --> 01:11:45.205
- Is this legit, frank?
- I don't think it's gonna
01:11:45.337 --> 01:11:47.641
keep you from playing them
on Friday...
01:11:47.774 --> 01:11:50.309
But it should be enough
to end their season.
01:11:53.412 --> 01:11:54.781
What do you get out of this?
01:11:54.915 --> 01:11:57.449
There's a new principal position
over at poly.
01:11:57.584 --> 01:12:00.486
Maybe I should finally
put these shoes to work.
01:12:03.023 --> 01:12:04.456
Shiny.
01:12:04.591 --> 01:12:07.794
That's real cute, frank.
01:12:19.172 --> 01:12:20.974
Ah!
01:12:21.107 --> 01:12:22.175
Ow, ow, ow!
01:12:22.309 --> 01:12:23.777
- Get out!
- I'm sorry!
01:12:32.285 --> 01:12:34.386
Hardy brown did not
invent the face mask.
01:12:34.521 --> 01:12:35.856
Hike!
01:12:37.123 --> 01:12:38.892
But he inspired
01:12:39.025 --> 01:12:40.327
a great need for it.
01:12:41.695 --> 01:12:43.362
I told you
I'll lay you out, boy.
01:12:43.495 --> 01:12:45.665
Brown isn't just tackling
01:12:45.799 --> 01:12:48.034
these poly players, he's
knocking them out of the game.
01:12:48.168 --> 01:12:51.571
There's more than bragging
rights at stake here today,
01:12:51.705 --> 01:12:54.774
as the winner will go on
to the state championship.
01:12:54.908 --> 01:12:55.908
Hike!
01:12:58.345 --> 01:13:01.581
- Come on, Hardy! Downfield block!
- He's going!
01:13:01.715 --> 01:13:03.283
Hardy brown on the touchdown!
01:13:05.652 --> 01:13:07.721
Knocked him out so hard.
01:13:11.390 --> 01:13:13.793
Time-out. Time-out.
01:13:13.927 --> 01:13:16.096
I want you
to check 43's shoulder pads.
01:13:16.229 --> 01:13:18.265
He's got steel
in his shoulder pads.
01:13:18.397 --> 01:13:20.100
Coach, you can't be serious.
01:13:20.233 --> 01:13:21.768
I'm dead serious.
01:13:21.902 --> 01:13:23.370
Check his damn pads.
01:13:23.502 --> 01:13:25.572
I need to check
43's shoulder pads, coach.
01:13:25.705 --> 01:13:27.741
For what?
01:13:27.874 --> 01:13:31.111
Well, coach thinks he's got
steel plates under there.
01:13:31.244 --> 01:13:33.580
Are you kidding me?
01:13:33.713 --> 01:13:35.782
- Afraid I'm not.
- Let's do it.
01:13:35.916 --> 01:13:38.285
Hey, Hardy! Come on in here.
01:13:38.417 --> 01:13:40.220
- Yeah, coach?
- All right.
01:13:40.353 --> 01:13:43.290
Uh, poly thinks you got steel
plates in your shoulder pads.
01:13:43.422 --> 01:13:44.858
You gotta take your shirt off.
01:13:44.991 --> 01:13:47.227
Ain't no damn way
those are legal shoulder pads.
01:13:47.360 --> 01:13:49.629
Take it easy, Luther.
01:13:49.763 --> 01:13:51.731
There ain't nothing under there.
01:13:51.865 --> 01:13:54.466
- How old are you, boy?
- Seventeen.
01:13:54.601 --> 01:13:57.469
Uh-huh. We'll see about that.
01:13:57.604 --> 01:13:59.606
You mind
if we play football now?
01:13:59.739 --> 01:14:02.642
Oh, you call what you're doing
playing? I call it cheating.
01:14:02.776 --> 01:14:04.978
You're on the wrong side
of the field, Luther.
01:14:05.111 --> 01:14:07.314
Get your damn hand off me,
you zebra.
01:14:07.446 --> 01:14:10.650
Get back out there, son.
Playing great, playing great.
01:14:10.784 --> 01:14:13.452
I want you to take that halfback
out of the game permanently.
01:14:13.586 --> 01:14:14.788
- You hear me?
- Which one?
01:14:14.921 --> 01:14:17.123
The one that's
been getting the ball.
01:14:17.257 --> 01:14:18.625
- That one.
- I'll be kicked out.
01:14:18.758 --> 01:14:21.895
Do I look like
I give a damn? Go.
01:14:22.028 --> 01:14:23.495
Flat pass to Hardy on one.
01:14:23.630 --> 01:14:25.565
No, give it to Fairbanks.
Show off for opal.
01:14:25.699 --> 01:14:28.401
- He needs a little sugar tonight.
- Annie wants you to kiss her.
01:14:28.535 --> 01:14:30.971
Okay, you lovebirds.
01:14:31.104 --> 01:14:33.073
- To Fairbanks on one and...
- Break!
01:14:33.206 --> 01:14:34.473
As the clock winds down,
01:14:34.607 --> 01:14:36.076
the mighty mites have dominated
01:14:36.209 --> 01:14:37.677
every level of the game today,
01:14:37.811 --> 01:14:39.579
as they look to add
injury to insult
01:14:39.713 --> 01:14:41.448
by running another play
on offense.
01:14:41.581 --> 01:14:44.483
All right, create a wedge
and make a hole now.
01:14:46.319 --> 01:14:48.655
Six-two, six-two!
01:14:48.788 --> 01:14:49.789
Hike!
01:15:04.037 --> 01:15:05.238
Get your bag, doc.
01:15:05.372 --> 01:15:06.873
Why isn't he getting up?
01:15:10.377 --> 01:15:12.812
I'm sorry. I didn't mean it.
01:15:12.946 --> 01:15:14.681
- My god.
- Folks, this doesn't look good,
01:15:14.814 --> 01:15:17.350
as coach Russell and doc hall
rush to his side.
01:15:17.484 --> 01:15:19.019
- Doc, over here!
- Hold on, son.
01:15:19.152 --> 01:15:20.954
Hold on. Breathe, breathe.
01:15:21.087 --> 01:15:23.823
- It's okay.
- We got a compound fracture.
01:15:23.957 --> 01:15:26.292
Carlos, stretcher,
on the double!
01:15:26.426 --> 01:15:29.029
Listen, son, we gotta get you
off the field in a hurry.
01:15:29.162 --> 01:15:32.032
Here we go, gentlemen. Quickly.
01:15:32.165 --> 01:15:33.566
On three.
01:15:33.700 --> 01:15:35.969
One, two, three.
01:15:36.102 --> 01:15:39.873
Okay. All right.
01:15:40.006 --> 01:15:41.841
Chicken, bring my bag,
bring my bag.
01:15:41.975 --> 01:15:43.209
One, two, three.
01:15:43.343 --> 01:15:44.544
Mighty orphans!
01:15:47.814 --> 01:15:51.384
As national attention
bolstered the boys' morale,
01:15:51.519 --> 01:15:55.021
it was a bittersweet moment
for the mites.
01:15:55.155 --> 01:15:59.527
Goliath may have fallen,
but not without its cost.
01:15:59.659 --> 01:16:01.594
They were headed
to the state championship
01:16:01.728 --> 01:16:03.630
with only 11 players.
01:16:05.065 --> 01:16:07.600
"There's a new s-sheriff
in fort worth.
01:16:07.734 --> 01:16:09.969
His name is r-r-rusty Russell,
01:16:10.103 --> 01:16:13.440
surrounded
by his 12 orphaned..."
01:16:13.573 --> 01:16:16.042
- "Deputies."
- thank you, heh.
01:16:16.176 --> 01:16:18.912
"The mites and their creative
new coach have orchestrated..."
01:16:19.045 --> 01:16:20.580
"Orchestrated"?
What's that mean?
01:16:20.713 --> 01:16:22.715
Means we whipped their ass.
01:16:22.849 --> 01:16:26.252
"Orchestrated a new
and exciting brand of football
01:16:26.386 --> 01:16:28.221
- "not seen before."
- All right, lads,
01:16:28.354 --> 01:16:29.956
let's break the huddle.
01:16:30.090 --> 01:16:32.592
Douglass needs his beauty rest.
Y'all got work to do.
01:16:32.725 --> 01:16:34.060
- See you, buddy.
- Bye.
01:16:34.194 --> 01:16:36.129
Take it easy.
01:16:36.262 --> 01:16:40.300
You know, I should be
the one laying there.
01:16:40.433 --> 01:16:41.901
Oh, hell, Hardy.
01:16:42.035 --> 01:16:44.070
Then we wouldn't have a shot
at beating amarillo.
01:16:44.204 --> 01:16:46.806
Besides, opal thinks
I'm a regular old war hero now.
01:16:46.940 --> 01:16:49.375
Heh, you know I always have.
01:16:52.879 --> 01:16:54.614
All right, you two.
01:17:12.632 --> 01:17:13.967
Fat-ass is coming.
01:17:34.220 --> 01:17:36.956
You think you can fool me,
you little pervert?! Come here!
01:17:37.090 --> 01:17:39.627
Come on, come on! Get up here!
Get up here!
01:17:39.759 --> 01:17:43.296
Get in this room!
Get up against that wall!
01:17:43.429 --> 01:17:45.633
I'm sorry, Mr... unh!
01:17:45.765 --> 01:17:48.334
- What do you got to say?
- I'm sorry, Mr. Wynn!
01:17:48.468 --> 01:17:50.538
I'm sorry, Mr...
01:17:53.806 --> 01:17:55.775
There, that should do you.
01:17:59.379 --> 01:18:02.182
Oh, I'm tired,
but a good kind of tired.
01:18:04.150 --> 01:18:05.653
Gentlemen...
01:18:05.785 --> 01:18:11.559
Spying on the girls
will not be tolerated!
01:18:13.793 --> 01:18:17.030
If I so much as hear a snivel
01:18:17.163 --> 01:18:20.200
from one of you
motherless bastards,
01:18:20.333 --> 01:18:24.237
you will all receive
a kiss from Bertha.
01:18:27.040 --> 01:18:29.042
Music to my ears.
01:18:37.717 --> 01:18:39.553
Is... is he dead?
01:18:39.687 --> 01:18:41.821
- Hey, snoggs.
- Hey, snoggs.
01:18:41.955 --> 01:18:44.891
Hey.
01:18:45.024 --> 01:18:46.392
Hardy, help.
01:18:46.527 --> 01:18:48.662
Hey, wheatie, go get doc.
01:18:48.795 --> 01:18:50.396
DeWitt, come here.
Pick up snoggs,
01:18:50.531 --> 01:18:53.399
carry him back to his bunk.
Take care of him.
01:18:53.534 --> 01:18:54.602
Where you going?
01:19:05.411 --> 01:19:07.146
Oh! What the...?
01:19:14.053 --> 01:19:15.788
- You're gonna see how it feels!
- Wait!
01:19:22.295 --> 01:19:23.896
You sorry sack of shit.
01:19:39.713 --> 01:19:40.713
Come in.
01:19:41.715 --> 01:19:43.082
Hey, dot.
01:20:00.567 --> 01:20:02.368
- You seen this?
- What?
01:20:02.502 --> 01:20:03.836
"Orphan team is accused
01:20:03.970 --> 01:20:06.674
of breaking numerous
state uil regulations,
01:20:06.806 --> 01:20:10.376
including age violations
and excessive practicing.
01:20:10.511 --> 01:20:12.312
Therefore, the polytechnic team
01:20:12.445 --> 01:20:14.981
"will advance to the class a
state championship."
01:20:15.114 --> 01:20:16.784
They can't do this.
01:20:16.916 --> 01:20:19.819
- Sounds like they just did.
- Coach, they're kicking us out?
01:20:22.690 --> 01:20:25.325
- What happened to you, snoggs?
- Well, Mr. Wynn decided
01:20:25.458 --> 01:20:27.226
to teach Leonard here a lesson.
01:20:27.360 --> 01:20:29.462
He's just damn lucky
this boy's so tough.
01:20:31.030 --> 01:20:33.166
He's a son of a bitch.
01:20:33.299 --> 01:20:35.536
- Go on, son. You'll be fine.
- Yes, sir.
01:20:37.904 --> 01:20:40.340
I want him found,
and I want him arrested!
01:20:40.473 --> 01:20:41.941
Calm down, frank.
01:20:44.511 --> 01:20:47.113
I expect you'll
finally be firing this man.
01:20:47.246 --> 01:20:50.116
Now, why would bill
be doing something like that?
01:20:50.249 --> 01:20:52.118
Where do I begin?
01:20:52.251 --> 01:20:54.287
How about
stealing gate receipts?
01:20:54.420 --> 01:20:58.024
How about running
a child labor camp for profit?
01:20:58.157 --> 01:21:00.293
How about sending snoggs
to the infirmary?
01:21:00.426 --> 01:21:01.894
Think it's fair
to these children
01:21:02.028 --> 01:21:04.364
that you fill them with hope
of unrealistic dreams?
01:21:04.497 --> 01:21:05.998
I'm preparing them
for the real world.
01:21:06.132 --> 01:21:09.902
And how many of your mites
are gonna use football
01:21:10.036 --> 01:21:13.507
while they're working on
a factory floor in six months?
01:21:13.640 --> 01:21:17.443
You beat a boy so badly
he couldn't walk.
01:21:17.578 --> 01:21:20.714
Now, hold on. Snoggs was caught
spying on the girls' dorm,
01:21:20.848 --> 01:21:21.848
- coach Russell.
- Right.
01:21:21.881 --> 01:21:23.449
Yeah, he's a 16-year-old boy.
01:21:23.584 --> 01:21:24.785
What do you expect?
01:21:24.917 --> 01:21:26.452
I expect everyone to follow
01:21:26.587 --> 01:21:27.855
the damn rules of the home,
01:21:27.987 --> 01:21:30.223
including Hardy brown!
01:21:30.356 --> 01:21:33.192
He retaliated
with violence against frank.
01:21:33.326 --> 01:21:35.729
Damn it, now he's missing.
01:21:35.863 --> 01:21:37.865
The little bastard attacked me.
01:21:37.997 --> 01:21:39.600
Now, if he sets foot
on this property,
01:21:39.733 --> 01:21:41.869
I will see to it
that he's arrested.
01:21:42.001 --> 01:21:43.537
That he's arrested?
01:21:43.670 --> 01:21:45.539
Assault...
01:21:45.672 --> 01:21:48.675
On one of my staff members is
ground for immediate expulsion.
01:21:48.809 --> 01:21:51.043
This is supposed to be a place
01:21:51.177 --> 01:21:53.946
to nurture
the broken and the weak,
01:21:54.080 --> 01:21:56.115
the ones with nothing left.
01:21:56.249 --> 01:21:59.787
You throw this boy away,
you break the foundation
01:21:59.919 --> 01:22:02.188
of why we're even here
to begin with.
01:22:04.157 --> 01:22:06.459
When are you gonna stand up
for these children
01:22:06.593 --> 01:22:08.261
and do what's right?
01:22:08.394 --> 01:22:12.165
Well, judging
by this morning's paper, coach,
01:22:12.298 --> 01:22:15.101
you're the last person
who should be pointing fingers.
01:22:15.234 --> 01:22:17.003
- Is that right?
- Yeah.
01:22:17.136 --> 01:22:19.972
I think you're just smart enough
to know what I think of you.
01:22:20.106 --> 01:22:22.308
Yeah. Bye-bye.
01:22:23.976 --> 01:22:26.747
They're jeopardizing
everything we built up!
01:22:28.147 --> 01:22:29.982
It's time for this to end.
01:22:32.553 --> 01:22:34.855
Everything we've worked for...
01:22:36.255 --> 01:22:38.458
And sacrificed...
01:22:38.592 --> 01:22:40.460
It's been reduced to nothing.
01:22:45.632 --> 01:22:47.266
Nothing?
01:22:48.468 --> 01:22:50.102
I think this is something.
01:22:51.738 --> 01:22:53.239
What is that?
01:22:53.372 --> 01:22:55.742
Oh, this?
This is just your fan mail.
01:22:55.876 --> 01:22:57.243
Been over there for two weeks,
01:22:57.376 --> 01:22:59.847
but you've been too busy
to notice anything.
01:22:59.979 --> 01:23:03.517
Dayton, fort worth, Austin,
01:23:03.650 --> 01:23:06.285
Chicago, Los Angeles.
01:23:06.419 --> 01:23:10.122
Courage, hope,
inspiration, dedication.
01:23:10.256 --> 01:23:12.191
All the things that you
and your boys have given
01:23:12.325 --> 01:23:14.862
to thousands of people
who now believe in something.
01:23:17.497 --> 01:23:19.465
You think all this is nothing?
01:23:23.336 --> 01:23:25.471
I think it's quite something.
01:24:03.476 --> 01:24:05.579
You weren't gonna tell
us, coach?
01:24:07.146 --> 01:24:08.549
Them lying sumbitches think
01:24:08.682 --> 01:24:10.684
we're gonna lie down
without a fight?
01:24:11.852 --> 01:24:13.119
Where's Hardy?
01:24:14.420 --> 01:24:15.722
We gotta find him.
01:24:17.256 --> 01:24:19.960
Think I might know
where he's at. Yeah.
01:24:25.431 --> 01:24:27.601
When I woke up in the hospital,
01:24:27.734 --> 01:24:30.069
after the battle
of Saint-mihiel,
01:24:30.202 --> 01:24:32.104
they told me
I'd never see again.
01:24:34.841 --> 01:24:37.711
And all I could think about...
01:24:37.844 --> 01:24:40.781
Was how my brother looked
when he died,
01:24:40.914 --> 01:24:44.051
and seeing the light
fade from his eyes.
01:24:44.183 --> 01:24:47.020
So I'd try and think back
on all the good times we had,
01:24:47.153 --> 01:24:50.256
when we were kids, with mother.
01:24:50.389 --> 01:24:54.027
But then I'd think
about how she'd react
01:24:54.160 --> 01:24:59.700
when I finally found her
and told her how he died.
01:24:59.833 --> 01:25:03.604
And I had to fight
to keep the good thoughts in...
01:25:05.371 --> 01:25:07.074
And the bad thoughts out.
01:25:08.742 --> 01:25:10.409
What's your point, coach?
01:25:11.444 --> 01:25:12.846
My point, son...
01:25:17.551 --> 01:25:18.952
Is that you can't give up.
01:25:19.086 --> 01:25:21.320
You gotta believe.
01:25:21.454 --> 01:25:23.289
Without hope...
01:25:23.422 --> 01:25:26.793
Fear and anger...
01:25:26.927 --> 01:25:29.630
They'll continue to dominate you
through violence.
01:25:29.763 --> 01:25:32.032
Sure gets cheers at games.
01:25:32.164 --> 01:25:35.969
At games, sure, but not in life.
01:25:36.103 --> 01:25:38.772
It won't let you see what's
out there in front of you:
01:25:38.905 --> 01:25:42.441
Your talent, your intelligence.
01:25:42.576 --> 01:25:44.343
Now, don't throw all that away
01:25:44.477 --> 01:25:46.345
because you're blinded
by the past.
01:25:48.048 --> 01:25:51.018
I saw my daddy...
01:25:51.150 --> 01:25:54.286
Shot and killed before my eyes,
standing right there.
01:25:56.288 --> 01:25:57.824
Blew him in half.
01:26:00.393 --> 01:26:02.495
Dead before he hit the ground.
01:26:04.296 --> 01:26:07.299
You can't just forget that
because you want to.
01:26:07.433 --> 01:26:10.169
Terrible things happen in life.
01:26:10.302 --> 01:26:12.471
You and I know that firsthand.
01:26:14.741 --> 01:26:16.208
But you gotta learn
to accept it.
01:26:16.342 --> 01:26:17.511
Like your war?
01:26:18.712 --> 01:26:19.913
Huh?
01:26:22.516 --> 01:26:25.886
I've seen you cower
like a trembling baby.
01:26:26.019 --> 01:26:28.487
It's got its hooks in you still.
01:26:28.622 --> 01:26:30.090
It ain't a choice.
01:26:31.858 --> 01:26:33.560
It's like a sickness.
01:26:35.162 --> 01:26:38.165
I told mom
that dad had been shot...
01:26:39.700 --> 01:26:43.036
And all she did
was pack her bags...
01:26:43.170 --> 01:26:45.939
And say
she don't want me no more.
01:26:46.073 --> 01:26:49.475
Why would any mama
say that to her boy?
01:26:49.609 --> 01:26:52.478
It wasn't my fault.
I didn't kill him. I...
01:26:52.612 --> 01:26:53.914
I was trying...
01:26:56.516 --> 01:26:58.752
It wasn't my fault, coach.
01:27:09.663 --> 01:27:11.397
No, it's not your fault,
01:27:11.531 --> 01:27:14.735
and maybe running was all
that she knew how to do.
01:27:18.538 --> 01:27:20.707
And you got a family now.
01:27:20.841 --> 01:27:22.542
These boys...
01:27:22.676 --> 01:27:26.580
They're your brothers,
and they're counting on you.
01:27:29.049 --> 01:27:31.383
I'm counting on you.
01:27:31.518 --> 01:27:33.787
We need you, Hardy.
01:27:33.920 --> 01:27:35.387
Soon as y'all done hugging,
01:27:35.522 --> 01:27:37.033
we got some
administrative butt to whup
01:27:37.057 --> 01:27:38.658
before we head to amarillo.
01:27:40.894 --> 01:27:41.895
Let's go.
01:27:52.072 --> 01:27:54.306
They've proven
theirselves against all odds,
01:27:54.440 --> 01:27:57.744
and to get booted like they did,
chickenshit.
01:27:57.878 --> 01:27:59.579
What you think is going on?
01:27:59.713 --> 01:28:02.481
What's a hell of a coincidence
is that Luther scarborough...
01:28:02.616 --> 01:28:04.283
His brother-in-law
is Rodney kidd,
01:28:04.416 --> 01:28:06.987
who is president of the uil.
01:28:07.120 --> 01:28:10.824
- Something don't smell right.
- That couldn't be more obvious.
01:28:10.957 --> 01:28:12.826
Make a hell of a headline
for one of us.
01:28:12.959 --> 01:28:15.128
What do you think
about being more discreet?
01:28:16.730 --> 01:28:18.732
When's the last time
you been fishing?
01:28:24.104 --> 01:28:26.472
Been a while.
01:28:26.606 --> 01:28:29.109
In a ruling
that shocked football fans,
01:28:29.242 --> 01:28:32.212
the mighty mites were suspended
from the championship.
01:28:32.344 --> 01:28:35.115
I feel confident that we will be
cleared of any wrongdoing.
01:28:35.248 --> 01:28:39.152
The only thing mighty
about coach Russell's mites
01:28:39.286 --> 01:28:42.889
is they got 12-month football
going on at that orphanage.
01:28:43.023 --> 01:28:45.959
Plenty of rule-bending
going on to disqualify.
01:28:46.092 --> 01:28:47.894
The star-telegram
are urging readers
01:28:48.028 --> 01:28:51.198
to display the number 12 in
support of the orphan players.
01:28:51.330 --> 01:28:53.834
Letters of support
are pouring in.
01:28:53.967 --> 01:28:57.336
Gentlemen,
I thank you for your time.
01:28:57.469 --> 01:28:59.272
Great...
01:28:59.405 --> 01:29:00.774
Gotta get back to my team.
01:29:00.907 --> 01:29:02.876
Get the hell out.
I got practice.
01:29:05.846 --> 01:29:10.283
Harden Henry brown,
born September 4th, 1920,
01:29:10.416 --> 01:29:13.119
is deemed ineligible to compete
at the high school level,
01:29:13.253 --> 01:29:15.188
thus forfeiting
the entire year of wins
01:29:15.322 --> 01:29:17.489
for the masonic home
football team,
01:29:17.624 --> 01:29:19.659
rendering the team
suspended from the league
01:29:19.793 --> 01:29:21.360
and out of the championship.
01:29:21.493 --> 01:29:24.998
Mr. Kidd, Hardy brown's
not over age, sir.
01:29:25.131 --> 01:29:28.268
According to his official birth
certificate, I beg to differ.
01:29:28.400 --> 01:29:30.170
Coach, that is not mine.
01:29:30.303 --> 01:29:31.771
May I take a look at that?
01:29:31.905 --> 01:29:33.773
- Be my guest.
- Thank you.
01:29:36.343 --> 01:29:38.845
Hardy, would you
come up here, son?
01:29:44.217 --> 01:29:46.186
Is this your birth certificate?
01:29:49.556 --> 01:29:50.757
That's not mine, sir.
01:29:50.891 --> 01:29:53.425
Well, son, whose is it,
01:29:53.560 --> 01:29:55.427
if your name's
harden Henry brown?
01:29:57.731 --> 01:29:59.498
That was my older brother.
01:29:59.633 --> 01:30:01.768
He died
a week after he was born.
01:30:01.902 --> 01:30:05.504
They named him harden
Henry brown ii, after my dad.
01:30:05.639 --> 01:30:11.044
I'm harden Henry brown III,
born December 4th, 1921.
01:30:11.177 --> 01:30:12.779
Mr. Kidd,
may I have a word please?
01:30:12.913 --> 01:30:14.114
What the hell you doing?
01:30:14.247 --> 01:30:15.782
This young man's
telling the truth,
01:30:15.916 --> 01:30:18.218
and I have the appropriate
certificate to prove that.
01:30:18.351 --> 01:30:21.788
County clerk sent me
the wrong one by mistake,
01:30:21.922 --> 01:30:24.658
and I realized it
when I found this...
01:30:24.791 --> 01:30:26.927
The brother's death certificate.
01:30:27.060 --> 01:30:28.962
Whoever snuck you
this other document,
01:30:29.095 --> 01:30:30.330
they made the same mistake.
01:30:30.462 --> 01:30:32.431
I think we've heard
just about enough,
01:30:32.565 --> 01:30:34.100
and especially from you.
01:30:34.234 --> 01:30:37.103
We should've shut this down
a long time ago, but we are now.
01:30:37.237 --> 01:30:39.072
My decision is final!
01:30:39.205 --> 01:30:41.408
The mighty mites
are out of class a football!
01:30:41.541 --> 01:30:43.677
- What?
- Bullshit! We have proof!
01:30:43.810 --> 01:30:47.747
Mr. Kidd, my players come
from broken families, sir,
01:30:47.881 --> 01:30:49.950
or no family at all.
01:30:50.083 --> 01:30:52.152
They haven't had
much opportunity.
01:30:52.285 --> 01:30:54.020
They haven't been
as lucky as you.
01:30:54.154 --> 01:30:58.291
So if you need to suspend
somebody, suspend me.
01:30:58.425 --> 01:31:00.327
Kick me out of coaching.
01:31:04.798 --> 01:31:08.668
But don't take away
the hope of these boys here.
01:31:08.802 --> 01:31:10.469
It's all they've got.
01:31:12.939 --> 01:31:16.109
- That's a heartfelt statement.
- It really is.
01:31:16.242 --> 01:31:19.012
However, we have to draw the
line somewhere. Now, I don't...
01:31:19.145 --> 01:31:21.414
Can you not see
that I'm in a hearing now?
01:31:21.548 --> 01:31:22.816
It sounds important.
01:31:22.949 --> 01:31:24.509
I don't care
if it's the damn president.
01:31:24.584 --> 01:31:25.819
Sir, it is the president.
01:31:25.952 --> 01:31:28.722
- What do you mean?
- The president.
01:31:28.855 --> 01:31:30.890
Okay, I'll be out in a minute.
01:31:33.526 --> 01:31:35.161
Just a moment, gentlemen.
01:31:40.300 --> 01:31:43.470
Ahem. Sir, this is...
This is Rodney kidd.
01:31:43.603 --> 01:31:47.474
Mr. Kidd,
you have probably heard me say:
01:31:47.607 --> 01:31:49.309
"The only thing to fear...
01:31:49.442 --> 01:31:52.545
Is fear itself."
01:31:53.980 --> 01:31:56.149
Mr. President, yes, sir, I have.
01:31:56.282 --> 01:31:59.853
The allegations against
the mites seem to benefit,
01:31:59.986 --> 01:32:02.722
shall we say, other teams.
01:32:02.856 --> 01:32:05.792
I am certain that you
and your brother-in-law
01:32:05.925 --> 01:32:11.631
over at polytechnic high
favor the mites ejection.
01:32:11.765 --> 01:32:13.366
Wouldn't you agree?
01:32:34.187 --> 01:32:36.189
After careful consideration...
01:32:39.025 --> 01:32:44.864
The decision to remove the
masonic... home from class a...
01:32:46.232 --> 01:32:48.868
Has been overturned.
01:32:49.002 --> 01:32:51.905
The mighty mites will be
in the championship after all.
01:33:00.548 --> 01:33:02.550
There's no way I could've known.
01:33:05.185 --> 01:33:06.219
Aah!
01:33:10.924 --> 01:33:12.692
The mites are going to state!
01:33:24.838 --> 01:33:26.473
I'm so proud of you.
01:33:26.606 --> 01:33:28.942
- Well, we haven't won yet.
- You have in my book.
01:33:29.075 --> 01:33:31.845
- Where is he, bill?
- He's inside.
01:33:45.792 --> 01:33:47.861
Hardy brown.
01:33:47.994 --> 01:33:49.662
Uh, yes, sir?
01:33:50.797 --> 01:33:52.699
Well, goddang, son!
01:33:52.832 --> 01:33:54.134
Good luck in amarillo.
01:33:54.267 --> 01:33:56.336
- We're counting on you boys.
- Thank you.
01:33:56.469 --> 01:33:58.047
These boys are going
to state, counselor.
01:33:58.071 --> 01:34:01.708
- Yes, sir.
- They gonna kick sandie butt.
01:34:08.715 --> 01:34:11.151
Franklin Harry wynn,
you're under arrest...
01:34:11.284 --> 01:34:12.752
- Red?
- For the violation
01:34:12.886 --> 01:34:15.989
of child labor laws 232 and 241,
01:34:16.122 --> 01:34:18.858
embezzlement
and abuse of a minor.
01:34:18.992 --> 01:34:20.927
Red, I've known you
for 30 years.
01:34:21.060 --> 01:34:22.695
What are you doing?
01:34:22.829 --> 01:34:25.599
There's no evidence of me
doing anything wrong.
01:34:27.400 --> 01:34:30.136
- That's it.
- Red, now, come on.
01:34:30.270 --> 01:34:32.005
Give me a break. I mean...
01:34:50.823 --> 01:34:52.692
You filthy weasel!
01:34:52.825 --> 01:34:56.362
I told you there was gonna be
some changes around here, frank.
01:34:56.496 --> 01:34:59.999
You know,
that's music to m-m-my ears.
01:35:00.133 --> 01:35:01.501
Have a good game, doc.
01:35:01.635 --> 01:35:03.604
- Thank you.
- See you when we get back.
01:35:06.773 --> 01:35:08.875
As the black
cloud of the depression
01:35:09.008 --> 01:35:10.476
loomed over the nation,
01:35:10.611 --> 01:35:13.046
it certainly didn't stop
the true believers
01:35:13.179 --> 01:35:16.584
from following the mites
all the way to amarillo.
01:35:31.998 --> 01:35:35.368
The mites were a symbol
of inspiration for everyone.
01:35:35.501 --> 01:35:38.037
They were devotion.
They were hope.
01:35:38.171 --> 01:35:41.874
They were the belief that
winning lives within the heart.
01:35:45.912 --> 01:35:47.780
Halftime at amarillo.
01:35:47.914 --> 01:35:52.586
That's right, halftime, because
the first half wasn't pretty.
01:35:52.720 --> 01:35:55.656
But somehow my defense
was able to hold the sandies
01:35:55.788 --> 01:35:57.625
to just one touchdown.
01:36:03.429 --> 01:36:06.266
I swear to god,
I'm gonna knock his teeth in.
01:36:06.399 --> 01:36:09.570
- Hurts like hell, doc.
- All right. Sit down there.
01:36:09.703 --> 01:36:12.872
Close your eyes.
Here we go. Okay.
01:36:15.775 --> 01:36:18.778
- Hey, you want to block?
- You'll tell me a block?
01:36:18.911 --> 01:36:20.880
- We're losing because of you!
- Hey! Hey! Hey!
01:36:21.014 --> 01:36:22.494
I don't know why
you can't block more!
01:36:22.549 --> 01:36:24.189
- Don't touch me!
- You haven't done shit!
01:36:24.217 --> 01:36:25.653
Neither have you, wheatie!
01:36:25.785 --> 01:36:27.185
I can't attack
unless y'all protect!
01:36:27.287 --> 01:36:30.223
Get your ass out there
so I can hand it to you!
01:36:30.356 --> 01:36:32.392
Coach, Miller's leg.
01:36:32.526 --> 01:36:35.461
- Put that on.
- Maybe we ought to think
01:36:35.596 --> 01:36:37.997
about calling this game
right now.
01:36:38.131 --> 01:36:41.134
There's no dishonor
in making sure that these lads
01:36:41.267 --> 01:36:43.537
don't get hurt anymore.
Think about Fairbanks.
01:36:43.671 --> 01:36:46.873
Don't matter how hard we try,
we don't stand a chance.
01:36:47.006 --> 01:36:49.842
- They ain't playing fair.
- Hardy, you haven't said a word.
01:36:49.976 --> 01:36:52.378
They're killing us.
They're too damn big.
01:36:54.113 --> 01:36:55.114
Hike!
01:37:03.089 --> 01:37:05.391
You ain't so mighty. Hmph.
01:37:09.195 --> 01:37:11.632
What now, coach?
01:37:11.765 --> 01:37:13.199
He's crying like a baby.
01:37:13.333 --> 01:37:15.001
Leave chicken alone!
Such a baby!
01:37:15.134 --> 01:37:17.503
Scrap of coal
would've done better than you!
01:37:17.638 --> 01:37:18.938
Getting our butt handed to us.
01:37:19.072 --> 01:37:21.274
- Shut up, a.P.!
- Shut up and hike the ball.
01:37:21.407 --> 01:37:23.309
I'm a mighty warrior!
01:37:37.423 --> 01:37:39.660
I am a mighty warrior.
01:37:43.463 --> 01:37:44.997
I never said it.
01:37:49.068 --> 01:37:50.537
I didn't believe it.
01:37:52.038 --> 01:37:53.507
Didn't believe in y'all.
01:37:54.675 --> 01:37:56.109
In this team.
01:38:00.980 --> 01:38:03.015
I never believed in myself.
01:38:04.183 --> 01:38:05.385
But now I do.
01:38:06.587 --> 01:38:08.888
Now I know what that means...
01:38:10.022 --> 01:38:11.759
Because of all of you,
01:38:11.891 --> 01:38:15.027
because of everything
each one of you has taught me.
01:38:15.161 --> 01:38:17.731
I look around this room
and I don't see a bunch of...
01:38:19.700 --> 01:38:22.669
A bunch of throwaway orphans
like everyone else does.
01:38:23.871 --> 01:38:24.871
I see fighters.
01:38:26.507 --> 01:38:28.575
I see guys that never give up!
01:38:28.709 --> 01:38:31.944
And it makes me so damn proud
to be an orphan.
01:38:33.547 --> 01:38:35.014
Y'all think you're in pain now?
01:38:35.148 --> 01:38:36.349
Think about Fairbanks.
01:38:36.482 --> 01:38:38.552
He'll never play ball again.
01:38:38.685 --> 01:38:40.253
That's real pain.
01:38:42.155 --> 01:38:43.956
Ours is temporary.
01:38:47.628 --> 01:38:51.330
"No man will hurl me down
to death, against my fate."
01:38:52.900 --> 01:38:56.603
And fate? No one alive
has ever escaped it,
01:38:56.737 --> 01:38:59.640
neither brave man, nor coward...
01:39:02.208 --> 01:39:06.145
"I tell you... it is born with us
the day that we are born!"
01:39:07.781 --> 01:39:09.148
We got another half
01:39:09.282 --> 01:39:11.150
to kick those sandie asses!
01:39:11.284 --> 01:39:13.654
Now get in here!
Everyone, come on!
01:39:16.088 --> 01:39:17.256
Mites on three.
01:39:18.892 --> 01:39:21.394
- One, two, three!
- Mites!
01:40:08.341 --> 01:40:09.676
Mighty mites!
01:40:11.143 --> 01:40:13.547
- What do you think?
- I think we need a miracle.
01:40:13.680 --> 01:40:15.314
The mites start the second half,
01:40:15.448 --> 01:40:17.851
trailing the amarillo sandies,
7 to nothing.
01:40:17.985 --> 01:40:20.453
And they've also
changed uniforms, folks.
01:40:20.587 --> 01:40:24.156
I've been told these jerseys
were sewn together
01:40:24.290 --> 01:40:26.392
and the numbers were painted on
01:40:26.527 --> 01:40:28.529
by the young ladies
at the orphanage.
01:40:28.662 --> 01:40:31.163
Turn that damn thing off!
01:40:31.297 --> 01:40:32.566
Pipe down in there, frank!
01:40:35.034 --> 01:40:36.737
Six-two, split! Hike!
01:40:42.174 --> 01:40:44.176
Snoggs has gotta
shuffle that guy off.
01:40:44.310 --> 01:40:45.546
Hike!
01:40:50.551 --> 01:40:51.852
Hike!
01:40:56.255 --> 01:40:58.692
- Come on, boys!
- For the first time,
01:40:58.825 --> 01:41:00.961
the mites' innovative
passing offense
01:41:01.093 --> 01:41:03.362
is having minimal effect
against the sandies.
01:41:03.496 --> 01:41:06.365
Coach Russell will need to go
into his bag of tricks
01:41:06.499 --> 01:41:07.634
- to pull this off.
- Hike!
01:41:13.607 --> 01:41:14.875
- Come on! Come on!
- Go!
01:41:15.008 --> 01:41:16.442
Go, go, go.
01:41:21.748 --> 01:41:24.083
Touchdown for the mites.
01:41:28.922 --> 01:41:30.624
What is going on?
01:41:34.061 --> 01:41:35.696
- Yeah!
- And there you have it,
01:41:35.829 --> 01:41:37.931
the mites are finally
on the scoreboard
01:41:38.065 --> 01:41:41.034
as number 23,
douglass lord Fairbanks,
01:41:41.167 --> 01:41:42.869
takes it in for the touchdown.
01:41:46.573 --> 01:41:48.107
I thought Fairbanks was injured.
01:41:48.240 --> 01:41:50.176
That's Hardy brown
in Fairbanks' uniform.
01:41:50.309 --> 01:41:52.512
How about we double that bet?
Fifty more on the mites.
01:41:52.646 --> 01:41:54.514
- You're on.
- Damn right, I am.
01:41:58.384 --> 01:41:59.418
Extra point no good.
01:41:59.553 --> 01:42:02.288
Mites 6, sandies 7.
01:42:02.421 --> 01:42:03.657
Good try, boys!
01:42:03.790 --> 01:42:06.359
Yeah. We're proud
of you anyways, guys.
01:42:06.492 --> 01:42:07.961
- Pound for pound?
- Yeah.
01:42:08.095 --> 01:42:10.697
- I'll take brown over greathouse.
- Well, I'll take him too.
01:42:10.831 --> 01:42:12.331
But you know
how he's gotta do it?
01:42:12.465 --> 01:42:14.266
He's gotta hit him as low
as he can, that guy.
01:42:14.400 --> 01:42:17.169
He's gotta bite off each of his
kneecaps first time he hits him,
01:42:17.303 --> 01:42:19.338
because that guy's
three times taller than Hardy.
01:42:19.472 --> 01:42:20.707
Hike!
01:42:25.444 --> 01:42:29.116
Another bone-jarring collision
between brown and greathouse.
01:42:29.248 --> 01:42:33.252
I'm not sure how those young
men can get up after that.
01:42:33.386 --> 01:42:34.855
Get up, boys. Come on.
01:42:37.423 --> 01:42:39.826
Son of a bitch is harder
to take down than a steer.
01:42:39.960 --> 01:42:41.962
As the fourth quarter
winds down,
01:42:42.095 --> 01:42:44.330
the mites are against the ropes.
01:42:44.463 --> 01:42:48.200
Perhaps there's a miraculous
ending for the mites.
01:42:48.334 --> 01:42:49.502
Break!
01:42:54.141 --> 01:42:55.809
Set. Hike!
01:42:58.145 --> 01:43:00.246
Fumble!
01:43:06.019 --> 01:43:09.255
Moseley recovers on the mites
20 with 50 seconds left.
01:43:13.060 --> 01:43:14.594
All right, all right, all right.
01:43:16.295 --> 01:43:19.599
Come here, chicken.
We still got one more time-out.
01:43:19.733 --> 01:43:22.234
Short pass to Hardy out
of the backfield. You got it?
01:43:22.368 --> 01:43:24.705
- Yes, sir.
- All right. Take it in, son.
01:43:24.838 --> 01:43:26.740
That's what
they'll be expecting.
01:43:26.873 --> 01:43:28.307
I'm counting on it, doc.
01:43:28.441 --> 01:43:30.077
You're better than that.
01:43:30.209 --> 01:43:32.344
Cover Hardy brown out
of the backfield. You hear me?
01:43:32.478 --> 01:43:33.580
- Yes, sir.
- Go!
01:43:33.714 --> 01:43:35.182
Break!
01:43:35.314 --> 01:43:36.382
Six-two, wide!
01:43:37.551 --> 01:43:38.551
Hike!
01:43:45.826 --> 01:43:47.761
Time please. Time.
01:43:50.764 --> 01:43:51.932
Get in there.
01:43:52.065 --> 01:43:53.700
Snoggs, you and chicken
split right.
01:43:53.834 --> 01:43:55.602
We're gonna run
the same play again,
01:43:55.736 --> 01:43:57.738
only this time,
you fake it to Hardy,
01:43:57.871 --> 01:44:01.273
you tuck the ball, you take it
yourself. You got it?
01:44:01.407 --> 01:44:03.242
- Yes, sir. Yeah.
- Let's do it.
01:44:03.375 --> 01:44:06.213
- They'll never expect you to run.
- Leon, break it down. Come on.
01:44:06.345 --> 01:44:08.447
One, two, three!
01:44:08.582 --> 01:44:10.617
Mighty mites!
01:44:10.751 --> 01:44:11.752
What do you think?
01:44:13.553 --> 01:44:14.755
- Huh?
- This is it.
01:44:14.888 --> 01:44:17.124
Cover Hardy brown
out of the backfield!
01:44:26.066 --> 01:44:27.433
Six-two-one!
01:44:28.702 --> 01:44:29.803
Hike!
01:44:33.073 --> 01:44:34.608
Sealey's gonna
run it in himself.
01:44:34.741 --> 01:44:36.408
He's got open field
in front of him.
01:44:39.079 --> 01:44:40.647
- See this?! Come on!
- Yes!
01:44:40.781 --> 01:44:42.481
Greathouse drives sealey out
01:44:42.616 --> 01:44:43.884
to the sandies 49-yard line
01:44:44.017 --> 01:44:45.986
with seven ticks
left on the clock.
01:44:46.119 --> 01:44:48.320
- Come here, son, come here.
- The mites need a miracle
01:44:48.454 --> 01:44:49.923
to pull this one off.
01:44:53.727 --> 01:44:55.228
What's coach want to run?
01:44:55.361 --> 01:44:56.930
He said it was up to us.
01:45:01.333 --> 01:45:02.368
Snoggs special.
01:45:10.277 --> 01:45:12.712
You heard crazy.
Snoggs special on one.
01:45:12.846 --> 01:45:14.981
Let's drive these sandies
back to fort worth.
01:45:15.115 --> 01:45:16.315
- Yeah!
- Yeah!
01:45:16.448 --> 01:45:17.951
You can do this, snoggs.
01:45:18.084 --> 01:45:19.152
Mighty mites on three.
01:45:19.286 --> 01:45:21.121
One, two, three!
01:45:21.254 --> 01:45:22.889
Mighty mites!
01:45:23.023 --> 01:45:24.858
It's do-or-die for the mites,
01:45:24.991 --> 01:45:26.793
as they're down
to their final play.
01:45:32.799 --> 01:45:33.867
Come on, boys!
01:45:40.472 --> 01:45:41.975
Six-two, wide!
01:45:43.475 --> 01:45:44.711
Hike!
01:45:51.450 --> 01:45:53.019
Snoggs!
01:46:09.468 --> 01:46:10.837
Come on, Hardy!
01:46:10.971 --> 01:46:12.539
- Go!
- Come on.
01:46:18.678 --> 01:46:20.680
Get him!
01:46:20.814 --> 01:46:22.716
- Come on! Come on!
- Go! Go!
01:46:34.628 --> 01:46:35.996
Go, Hardy!
01:46:37.664 --> 01:46:38.664
Come on!
01:46:39.666 --> 01:46:41.067
Push him!
01:46:50.543 --> 01:46:52.679
- They get that, doc?
- They don't know yet. They...
01:46:52.812 --> 01:46:54.714
- Can't see, doc.
- No, they're not unpiled yet.
01:46:54.848 --> 01:46:56.349
Hardy brown is down,
01:46:56.482 --> 01:46:58.518
and he's taken
six golden sandies with him.
01:46:58.652 --> 01:47:02.956
- Referees are clearing the pile.
- Quiet down, everybody. Quiet!
01:47:06.626 --> 01:47:08.161
- Is he short?
- I think he's in.
01:47:08.295 --> 01:47:09.162
Did he get it?
01:47:09.296 --> 01:47:10.330
Come on.
01:47:18.038 --> 01:47:20.472
Hardy brown has been
stopped inches from the goal.
01:47:20.607 --> 01:47:22.474
The golden sandies have won!
01:47:24.411 --> 01:47:26.478
That's the ball game! Yes!
01:47:39.793 --> 01:47:41.594
Inch.
01:47:45.532 --> 01:47:46.599
Sorry, coach.
01:47:48.702 --> 01:47:50.570
- Good job.
- You too.
01:47:50.704 --> 01:47:51.905
Good job.
01:48:02.382 --> 01:48:04.884
Toughest hoss I ever played.
01:48:05.018 --> 01:48:08.021
Thank you, myrle.
Pretty damn tough yourself.
01:48:12.592 --> 01:48:13.893
Come on, boys.
01:48:16.963 --> 01:48:18.999
Great game, coach.
Congratulations.
01:48:19.132 --> 01:48:20.700
Thank you.
One hell of a ball game.
01:48:20.834 --> 01:48:22.569
- Yes, sir.
- Congratulations.
01:48:26.172 --> 01:48:28.541
A team that started with nothing
01:48:28.675 --> 01:48:32.145
left with more than they
could have ever dreamed of.
01:48:32.278 --> 01:48:35.615
What the mites won couldn't
be printed in the papers.
01:48:35.749 --> 01:48:37.851
It was a belief in themselves
01:48:37.984 --> 01:48:40.153
that would go on
to last their entire lives.
01:48:40.286 --> 01:48:43.390
Mighty mites!
Mighty mites! Mighty mites!
01:48:43.523 --> 01:48:46.659
Mighty mites! Mighty mites!
Mighty mites!
01:48:46.793 --> 01:48:49.863
Mighty mites!
Mighty mites! Mighty mites!
01:48:49.996 --> 01:48:52.966
Mighty mites! Mighty mites!
Mighty mites!
01:48:53.099 --> 01:48:55.902
Mighty mites!
Mighty mites! Mighty mites!
01:48:56.036 --> 01:48:59.339
Mighty mites! Mighty mites!
Mighty mites!
01:48:59.472 --> 01:49:03.476
Mighty mites!
Mighty mites! Mighty mites!
01:49:28.401 --> 01:49:29.903
My feet, they...
01:49:31.905 --> 01:49:33.306
They just stopped.
01:49:36.076 --> 01:49:37.545
I came up short.
01:49:40.413 --> 01:49:42.782
You didn't come up short, son.
01:49:45.085 --> 01:49:47.020
You came further
than I ever dreamed.
01:49:48.688 --> 01:49:50.223
You did great.
01:49:57.964 --> 01:50:00.600
I look around this bus
and I think:
01:50:02.602 --> 01:50:04.237
"How lucky are we?"
01:50:06.606 --> 01:50:08.141
Pretty lucky, coach.
01:50:51.651 --> 01:50:53.419
- Buddy.
- Looking good, brother.
01:50:53.554 --> 01:50:56.089
Do they know we lost?
01:50:57.891 --> 01:51:00.160
What rusty brought
to the masonic home
01:51:00.293 --> 01:51:03.796
wasn't just football
or academics.
01:51:03.930 --> 01:51:07.535
It was the feeling
of finally being a family.
01:51:17.477 --> 01:51:19.513
Opal, are you gonna
stand up there with Fairbanks?
01:51:19.647 --> 01:51:23.216
- Okay, we'll let that slide.
- Doc, come in this photo. Hey!
01:51:23.349 --> 01:51:25.229
- Doc, we need you for the photo.
- Bring Betty.
01:51:25.351 --> 01:51:27.655
- I'll be there. Last play.
- Okay.
01:51:27.787 --> 01:51:30.256

01:51:30.390 --> 01:51:33.693

01:51:33.826 --> 01:51:36.062
might not seem possible,
01:51:36.196 --> 01:52:38.566
