All right. I'll play. - I can't use you, Junior. - Why not? 'Cause you got no discipline. You'll be tryin' to start fights every time I turn my back. You ain't even gonna give me a chance? You've had plenty of chances. Who else?

How 'bout you, Owens? You played defensive back, didn't you? For Washington? You wanna check your calendar and get back to me? Or maybe you got another liquor store to rob. Yeah, I'll play. How 'bout you, Evans? I mean, I played Pop Warner when I was younger but that's about it, though. You're on the team. I got experience. I played for, like, three years. - What position'd you play? - Out to the side. Was that out to the side on offense or defense? If the ball's thrown from... Man, I don't know what I'm talkin'. All right, Bug. How 'bout you be water boy? - Cool. - All right. Yo, Mr. Porter. Can I play? You're getting out in a week, Madlock. I wanna stay in. You wanna stay in jail? Yeah, man.

Sorry, I can't. Thanks for the vote of confidence, Coach. Our players will be closely supervised, no problems. Sounds fine, as long as there's no gang members.

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.
