Most of our starters have been in this program for three years. You have four weeks to prepare your team. Do you really wanna go up against those kinda odds? I'll bet ya $100 we win. We're a Christian school, we don't gamble. I... Look, I have to be honest with ya. I don't think it's in the best interest of my kids to play you. Well, what about our players? Don't they deserve a chance to play? Well, frankly, no. They lost that chance when they broke the law. Well, maybe we shouldn't let 'em eat, either. How 'bout that? Sean.

Mr. Torrance, let me ask you. You a Christian, right? Yeah. Now, I'm not that familiar with the exact words, but didn't Jesus say somethin' like, "Be merciful, just as your Father's merciful, "don't pass judgment and you won't be judged"? It's the book of Luke. "Give and it'll be given in good measure. "For whatever measure you deal out to others, "it'll be dealt to you in return." You're not too familiar with it, huh? No, look, Bob and Mel said it's fine with them if it's fine with you. I didn't know you were religious. I ain't religious, but we need all the help we can get for this program. Wouldn't hurt for you to pray some yourself.
