Remember the Titans
Before they could win, they had to become one.
"Petey how many feet are in a mile? How many?"
"I dunno."
"5,280! And you will take this ball and run every single one of them! Your
killing me Petey! Your killing me!"
-- Coach Boone and
Petey Jones
"Does the term 'cruel and unusual punishment' mean anything to you?"
-- Blue Stanton
"Why the clouds, Sunshine?"
-- Petey Jones
"What do you want man?"
"You know what I want."
-- Bertier and Sunshine
"We will be perfect in every aspect. You drop a pass, you run a mile. You miss a blocking assignment, you run a mile. You make a fumble, i will take you and break my John Brown's foot up your ass and then you will run a mile. Perfection."
-- Coach Boone
"This is no democracy. It is a dictatorship. I am the law."
-- Coach Boone
"This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. Listen to their souls, men. I killed my brother with malice in my heart. Hatred destroyed my family. You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. I don't care if you like each other of not, but you will respect each other. And maybe... I don't know, maybe we'll learn to play this game like men."
-- Coach Boone
"Only
kin's allowed in here."
"Alice, are you blind? Don't you see the family resemblance? That's my brother."
-- Nurse and Bertier
"I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. I will not be intimidated. That's just the way it is."
-- Coach Boone
"People say that it can't work, black and white; well here we make it work, everyday. We have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans."
