- Bye, Pop.
- Morning, Stefen.

Greg.

Stef, we gonna beat
Walnut Heights?

- You know it.
- All right. Get in.

- Hurry up.
- Hey, wait up.

There you go.

- The Stinger.
- You take good care of Charlotte?

- She's my freak of the week.
- Shadow, damn you.

You know when people die
and they donate stuff?

Well, I'm gonna donate
my dick to Charlotte.

Here comes my nervous breakdown.

I'll see you guys
later. Take care.

Why is what's-her-name crying?

Her and her boyfriend
are breaking up.

I bet I know why. I mean most guys

aren't as understanding
as I am, Lisa.

I know that, Stef.

What did you do? Swim to school?

Yeah, my chauffeur
was a little late.

- Stefo.
- Hey, Tracy.

- You got my English?
- I got your English right here.

You want your English?
You want his English?

- No?
- Come on.

I'm not sure about 20 and 21.

How do you know football stuff...

and not know how to
conjugate a verb?

- What's a verb?
- What's a hand-on?

- What's a hand-on?
- I taught you Saturday night.

Stef.

- Come on.
- See you at lunch.

Yeah, you buy, right?

Tracy, come on.

Tracy, come on. Come on.

All right, brain pump.

- Harry.
- Hey, brothers.

Give me a break, man.

Vinnie.

She keeps looking
back here. Do it.

- No way.
- Come on.

No.

- Come on.
- No.

- Guinea.
- Okay.

Vucci. Vucci. Vinnie.

You got something to share
with us, Mr Salvucci?

- Can I leave the room?
- Yeah, I think you'd better.

- Don't tell me that hurt.
- Yes, it hurt.

You ruined my chances
for a scholarship.

Have you heard from
any recruiters?

You know the reason I'm playing
is because Prazowicz is hurt.

- You still got a shot.
- Right, for welfare.

Stef?

Stef? Are you in here?

Stef?

Stef?

I got the lunch.

You are my lunch.

- Scared you, Lietzke?
- No.

Next time, you go. I
almost got busted.

You want me to get busted?

No one's gonna put
you on report the

week of the Walnut Heights game.

Yeah, Walnut Heights, huh?

There's gonna be recruiters
from every college.

All to see Stefen Djordjevic.

Only it's no joke.

Walnut Heights have the best
half-back in the state.

I knock him on his ass, I'll
have my pick of colleges.

You pick one near home, huh.

Yeah, I'd like to.

This is my shot.

This is my way out Friday night.

And I gotta go to the best school,
with the best engineering program.

Djordjevices have been humping
steel out of this town for years.

You know, Grandpa, Pop, Greg.

I mean, you know, it's
about time one of us...

had something to say about the
stuff after it's been made.

And it's gonna be me.

You're making fun.
You're laughing.

No.

Yes, you are.

Those fries are terrible.

Is someone in here?

Is it you, Salvucci?

If it is, you're in bad trouble.

- The University of Southern Cal.
- Bullshit.

No, no bullshit. A full
fucking ride, man.

We're getting out of here, buddy.

I know. Shit.

Excuse me, ladies. Brian Riley
is going to SC, motherfuckers.

All right.

All I gotta do is
maintain my 2.0 average-

- You can do that if you cheat.
- Bonehead is going to Hollywood.

Maybe you better take us with you.

We make you look good.

I don't have to shovel
any more damn snow.

You might not shovel snow, but
you will shovel earthquakes.

I'll be playing in the Rose Bowl.
You guys will watch me on TV.

You going to Hollywood, you're
gonna have to learn to dress.

And dance.

That's right. You
gotta be cool, man.

One, two. Come on. Come
on, man, come on. One...

Shake it out, Bri.

Hey, Fox, show me how to do that.

Okay, now you've got to
be gliding. Come on.

Move your hands just
like you're a puppet.

- This shit comes in handy.
- You know it.

Mouse, wake up and check this
out. Not bad for a white boy?

You look horrible. No wonder
you get beat on defence.

Yeah? Who's wearing
the letter, pal?

Bri, you ain't never gonna be
one of them exotic dancers.

It's a good thing.

- Don't give her too much now.
- Yeah. Charlotte.

- Charlotte?
- Just tease it, Charlotte.

Ladies.

Five minutes.

Look, I've been up all night. I
want you to take a look at this.

If we play straight,
they're gonna blow us out.

But if we force them to pass, we
can take away the edge they got.

We'll put our linemen a yard
and a half off the ball.

- 62 stack?
- Yeah. Submarine every play.

Goal line defence the entire game?

Yeah.

When Alexander comes up, all
he's gonna find is people.

What if he tries to
break around end?

We got our linebackers.

- If they pass, we're too quick.
- Nobody's ever tried it.

If it works, we're geniuses. If it
doesn't, what've we got to lose?

Our lives.

Right. So let's
make it work, Jess.

I want you to attack the legs
of the man in front of you.

Get your ass up, Nicatancous.

- Get down. Ready.
- Go, Tank.

34. Blue. Great. That's
where we want you.

- All right.
- 23. 22. Hut.

Hut. Hut. Hut.

Get in there. Hit their knees.

All right, that was
good. That was good.

What the hell's coach got us
doing? Don't ask, just do it.

See who's over there watching us?

Not us. Nickerson.

Riley, come here.
Alexander, come here.

Riley, this is Alexander.
Follow him the entire game.

And it's your key, son.

He goes to take a crap,
show him the way.

- Understand?
- Yes.

- Can you handle it?
- Yes.

- I can't hear you.
- Yes.

All right, I trust you.

Safeties, I want you right up
here with the linebackers.

If they block down, I
want you shooting down.

Djordjevic, get in here, wuss.
What's your key in this formation?

I cover the tailback
or go with the flow.

Listen, they can't run
against a 6-2 stack, okay?

We're gonna force them to pass.

- Who are we?
- Ampipe.

- What are we?
- Bulldogs.

- What are we?
- Bulldogs.

Who are we gonna beat?

You keep them here all night
till they get it right, okay?

Will do, coach.

- How are we gonna beat them?
- 2-2. Blue.

Here we go now. Here
we go. 22. Blue.

Hi, baby.

- Well?
- Yeah, well. It was great.

Those guys from Cal Poly
stayed the whole time.

- And?
- Yeah, well...

we're gonna grab a few
beers, eight or nine.

Eight or nine?

- That's great.
- Yeah, it is.

I got a good shot at
defensive backfield coach.

It's down to me and a
guy from Aliquippa.

Yeah, he's good,
but you're better.

- We're gonna get out of here.
- Yeah.

Mr Djordjevic, we'd like
him to come to our school.

- Djordjevic.
- I'm sorry.

- To play football?
- And to get an education.

Would you tell us about that?

We'll do everything to
see he gets his diploma.

We have tutoring to help
him get his degree.

Our people graduate,
Mr Djordjevic.

We'd like you to visit the campus.
Take a look at the conditions.

Meet the coaches, the players.

We got two alumni in the pros now.
One of them is All-Conference.

Do you want to play pro ball?

Me?

How about it, Pop?

No, there's not much call for a 5'
10" white cornerback in the NFL.

I could do the job
in college, though.

Yes, you can. You
hit like a truck.

What are you looking for?

I'm looking to trade
football for an education.

- I'm gonna be an engineer.
- I checked your grades.

A "B" average is not going
to get you a scholarship.

I know that.

Well? We offer a
B.S. in engineering.

Yeah, well... You know, Mr
Smith, I like your school.

It's got a pretty
good football team.

But to tell you
honestly, there's other

schools I'd rather look at first.

Maybe you do belong at
another school, Stef.

Mr Smith, because my son
is good at football...

he has opportunities that
otherwise would not be his.

I'd like to thank you for
coming and offering them.

I know what you're thinking,
what you're looking for.

Maybe I don't blame you.

If things fall through,
you've got a place with me.

Okay, thank you.

I hope you know what you're doing.

- That's Lisa. Pop, can I go?
- Stefen.

Don't worry. I'm gonna get a good
scholarship to a good school.

They haven't been
beating down the door.

Yeah, you just wait till they see
me in the Walnut Heights game.

Stef, stop. Stef.

Stef, stop.

Stef.

Stop.

I want to go home.

You don't have to
be mad. Look at me.

I'm looking at you. I'm not mad.

Listen, I'm sorry. I guess I
shouldn't have let it go that far.

See you tomorrow?

We have history and lunch, right?

Right, Stef. Look, I'm scared,
and you're going away.

I don't understand it. It's
not like I don't love you.

We've been going out
a long time and...

Brian and those guys see me
here. Nothing is going on.

- Brian? Brian?
- I didn't mean that.

- Brian, right.
- Lisa, I didn't mean that.

I don't want it to be for
Brian or anybody else.

I want it to be special
and not in a car.

Okay.

I understand. Let's go home.

Go.

Halt.

Nicatancous, what are you doing?
You spin all the way from here.

You really piss me off.
What's wrong with you?

- Nothing.
- That wasn't a block.

- I can't hear you.
- Nothing, sir.

What was that? That was
a third-base slide.

You block about as good
as a jelly doughnut.

That was nothing.
Are you listening?

Yes.

You want to play against
Walnut Heights?

Yes, sir.

- Convince us you're a dog.
- Yes, sir.

I want you pissing on every
fire hydrant in Walnut Heights.

Yes, sir.

Get down on your knees. Now growl.

You bite. You dig.

- You want to go to college?
- Yes, sir.

Then play the way
you've been taught.

Break.

Ready? Break.

Dig in there, dig in
there. Formation right.

Set. Ready. Go.

No. Mouse, give me that ball.

Djordjevic, what are
you doing here?

I've told you 1000 times, go
for the ball not the man.

This is a football, see? That's a
man. There is a man over there.

Do that in a game,
we got a penalty.

I had the coverage.

What?

I had the coverage,
sir. I made the play.

You do it my way, or
it's the highway.

Hustle on in. Hey,
hustle up. Hustle up.

- A good practise, gentlemen.
- All right.

Today you're not ladies,
you're gentlemen.

- We got any quitters?
- No.

- I didn't hear you.
- No, sir.

You quit on this field, you're
gonna quit high school...

you're gonna quit
your job, your lady.

You know what you're gonna end
up being? Quitters and losers.

None of you guys are
quitters and losers.

- Any quitters here?
- No.

- Didn't hear you.
- No.

- Can't hear you.
- No, sir.

All right, everybody,
five laps. Five laps.

You do 10.

Why are you so hard on Djordjevic?

Shit.

He's good, he's got
talent. You know what?

He's using me, Jess.
He's using me.

Hey...

relax.

- They're gonna give you the job.
- Yeah? Christ, I hope so.

Ready. Okay.

When I say, "Ampipe,"
you say, "Bulldogs."

- Ampipe.
- Bulldogs.

- Ampipe.
- Bulldogs.

When I say, "let's,"
you say, "go. "Let's.

Go.

- Let's.
- Go.

All right, team, get it
together. Go, Bulldogs.

This rally, this game is
not just for the students.

It's for the whole town.

It's for the mothers, for the
fathers and the steelworkers.

And now, here's the man who's
gonna bring us a victory...

and who's gonna make Ampipe what
it used to be. Coach Nickerson.

Walnut Heights is undefeated.

And Walnut Heights is
ranked third in the state.

They have a swim
team, a tennis team.

They got golf for boys and girls.

But they don't have a
football team like we've got.

And they don't have a
student body like we have.

- I've gotta talk to you.
- What?

I've gotta talk to you.

Tracy's pregnant.

What?

Tracy's pregnant. I
took her to the doctor.

We are gonna beat Walnut
Heights because we're Ampipe.

And this Ampipe football team
can't lose. They're gonna win.

Well, how does she feel
about an abortion?

You know Tracy, not real good.

You dumb bastard.

What are you gonna do? You
gonna have the kid? Huh?

What am I supposed to do, Stef?

Captain, quarterback, team leader,
Clarence Oliver, Rifleman.

What you do is you talk to
your recruiter at SC, okay?

I've heard about stuff like this.
They can work things out for you-

I'm having a kid.

Look, we're getting
out of here, Brian.

Right?

I proudly introduce defensive
captain and linebacker...

Right, Bri? Bri?

Brian Riley.

This is the biggest game of
our lives. We've worked hard.

We no longer want to
win. We have to win.

And we're gonna. We're gonna win.

Not just for us, but for
you too. Thanks a lot.

Jeez, look at the place.

Now this is what a real
locker room looks like.

- Tank, you take my tape roll?
- Fuck it.

Did you take my tape roll, huh?

Did you take it?

Cut it out, man. Save it
for the field, Vucci.

Let's go, fellas.

That's everybody.

Let me have it over here.
Right here, let's have it.

Settle down.

Gentlemen.

Here's the situation.

We haven't beaten Walnut Heights
in my five years as coach.

There are people out there who
don't think you're gonna do it.

But there's 37 people
in this room who can.

- Yes, sir.
- Right?

Yes, sir.

That's you, and that's me.

Why are we so sure?
What do we know?

I don't think they know about the
pain you're willing to endure.

- Do they, Tank?
- No.

- Or how hard you hit.
- No, sir.

- Or what you'll do to Alexander.
- No, sir.

They don't know about
Rifleman's arm.

No, sir.

In 48 minutes they're
gonna find out who

you are. You're gonna
make me proud.

You guys are gonna
achieve some great

successes. And I hope
and pray you do.

There's seldom gonna
be a moment like

tonight when you hold
it all in your hands.

You can achieve something together
they can never take away.

Your friends, your family, your
parents, your school, this town.

A win tonight is gonna give
them something to be proud of.

You know what they
call us? You know

why they only gave us 500 tickets?

We're the dagos, we're the
Polacks, we're the niggers.

That's what you are. That's
what I am. That's what we are.

That's how we're gonna
win this game, together.

- How?
- Together.

- How?
- Together.

- We'll do it.
- Together.

- How?
- Together.

We're gonna win
together. Come on down.

Now taking the field
the Ampipe Bulldogs.

And here come your Knights.

Ampipe kicks off.

And the game is under way.

Come on. Get tough.

- Six-two stack monster. Ready.
- Break.

- All right, fellows, this is it.
- Break.

Full house. Full house.

I'm coming after your ass, Riley.

Do it. Make me happy.

- Way to go, way to go, all right.
- Way to go, LaRue.

Bellow, come here. Why can't
we block those little turkeys?

- They're cutting my knees.
- I don't want to hear that.

Block them anyway.
Now let's do it.

That's the end of the
first quarter. No score.

Break.

Break.

Ready, set.

Hut. Hut.

Alexander's in the clear.

Touchdown.

And the Knights take the lead.

Ampipe's ball 2:48
left in the half.

Ampipe touchdown by number
19 Austin Williams.

Yeah. All right.

Walnut Heights leads 10-7
with 3:47 left in the game.

- We did it. We did it.
- Yeah.

Stefen.

In your face Walnut
High. In your face.

Ampipe touchdown by number
33 Stefen Djordjevic.

Ampipe leads 14-10 with
3:12 left in the game.

Alexander for 17 and a first
down on the Ampipe 42.

Hold that line.

Great catch by Alexander
down to the 29.

Out of bounds on the 10.

- First and goal for the Knights.
- That's my man.

Ready. Set.

Pass interference.
The Knights have the

ball on the Ampipe five-yard line.

You got a boy playing
for Walnut Heights?

You hit too soon. It's your
penalty. Interference.

It's the same play from practise.

- Shit.
- It's the same play.

- Blind bastard.
- Good hit. It was a good hit.

It was a good hit. You're
damn right. Come on.

Okay, we're holding
them. Now keep up

goal line D, goal
line D. Ready. Break.

Third and goal for the
Knights on the three.

Ready. Set. Hut-hut.

- Hold them. Come on.
- Yeah. Yeah. All right.

Fight, damn it, fight.

Fourth and goal for the Knights
on the one-yard line. This is it.

- Ready. Set.
- Hold them. You fucking bastards.

Alexander is stopped
short of the goal line.

Ampipe takes over
on their own one-

yard line with 12 seconds left.

- We did it, Riley.
- Did we do it?

You did it.

Rifleman.

- Coach.
- I strong right, 42 condition.

All right.

Salvucci fumbles in the end
zone and the Knights recover.

It's a touchdown. No
time left. Knights

win. Touchdown. The Knights win.

Come on, Salvucci. Let's
hear a good cry, all right.

All I'm hearing is
a whimper. Let's

hear a cry. I want
to hear a good one.

You choked. You cost us the game.
You quit on me and on this team.

He didn't quit.

What did you say?

Well, Salvucci, he didn't
quit. None of us quit.

I don't know. We beat those guys'

asses up and down
that field tonight.

We got nothing to be ashamed
of, right? Isn't that right?

You know, maybe the
scoreboard doesn't

say it, but we won that game.

We held them.

It was just a fluke. That's
all, it's just a fluke.

A fluke?

That pass interference
penalty, that was no fluke.

If you had done it the
way I taught you...

they never would've
been down there

and scored and we would've won.

You're just as
responsible as he is.

If you'd have had Rifleman hold on
to the ball, then we would've won.

We didn't quit, you quit.

Get your stuff and you get the
hell out of here right now.

What?

You heard me. You get out of here.

You're through.
You're off the team.

I'll see you, I gotta get
on the bus. All right.

- Yeah, that's him. Right there.
- Wait up.

Wait a minute, wait a
minute. Where you going?

- On the bus.
- No, this is the wrong bus.

This is for players. You
ride with the cheerleaders.

- Stef? Stef? Okay.
- Hey, Lisa, don't talk to me now.

- I want to be left alone.
- You were good.

Just leave me alone.

Why didn't Nickerson
take the safety

and then punt it out of there?

Because he's an
asshole. We're never

gonna beat those rich pricks.

Not as long as he's
coach we won't.

Maybe that won't be for too long.

Goddamn it, it's true.

He's kicked off for disciplinary
reasons. What does that mean?

His big mouth got him in trouble.

What'd he say?

He knew this would
ruin his chances.

Word gets around he
has a bad attitude,

he'll be lucky if
he gets any offers.

I can't believe he
meant it. Everybody's-

Your kid cost us the game.

Oh. Hot damn.

I'm gonna go home and
wait for your brother.

Because whatever he said,
he'll have to apologise.

Sure, Pop. Sure.

Goddamn.

Hey. Hey.

Hey, Stefie, come
on in. All right.

- Suzie?
- Huh?

I should've had Rifleman
fall on the ball.

Please, Vern, you're
driving yourself crazy.

Daddy, there's a man playing on
the lawn, and he waked me up.

Honey, you get in bed
with Mummy, okay?

Hey.

Bosko. What the hell
are you guys doing?

- What do you think?
- Isn't this a little crazy?

You gonna do something about it?

Bastards.

Hey, Stef.

- Hey.
- How you doing?

- You going to talk to the coach?
- Yeah. Wish me luck.

- Want me to go with you?
- No.

You sure?

- Okay, good luck, pal.
- All right.

Hey.

- How you doing, man?
- How you doing?

Coach Nickerson.

I'd just like to say
I'm sorry about

what I said. I didn't
mean anything.

And, well, Friday,
it's our last game,

it's at home, and I'm a senior.

I'd really like to play,
and it means a lot to me.

And I feel really bad
about what happened.

I was hoping maybe you'd
take me back on the team.

I'm sorry.

So what?

Real forgiving, aren't you?

You were at the
house, and I saw you.

The best thing you can
do is get out of here.

I can explain. They
picked me up. I

just dumped garbage on your lawn.

- I tried to stop them.
- No.

You dumped garbage on me,
my wife, my little girl.

- I'm sorry.
- Now leave me alone.

What about the game?

I mean, this is the last game.

Please.

You've played your last game.

Coach, you are really fucked, man.

No, son. You are.

Lisa.

How about it, Lis? I was at band
practise today watching you.

- You're real good.
- Yeah, I saw you there, Stef.

Maybe I'll join the band to spend

more time with you.
How's that sound?

It sounds like Nickerson
didn't take you back.

Screw Nickerson.
I've got the grades,

the talent. I'll get
my scholarship.

You'll get your football
scholarship, I'll get nothing.

What are you talking about?

Asshole jocks who
can't spell their

names get scholarships
and I can't.

Asshole jocks?

An asshole who'd scream at his
girlfriend who he says he loves...

in front of a bus load of people.

I don't need to be
treated like that.

Wait, Lisa.

I apologise. A lot was going
on. You don't understand.

I don't understand?
You don't understand.

I want to go to college and study
music. But we can't afford it.

Nobody in Ampipe gets a music

scholarship, just
football scholarships.

So I'll be a grocery clerk.

I'm stuck here, Stef.
I haven't even

got a chance. I'm 17 years old.

It's not fucking fair.

And, you, you're so selfish,
you don't even see it.

God, I've been such
an asshole, huh?

Yes.

Yeah.

I can spell my own name, though.

No, Lis, I mean, I
don't know what-

I'm really sorry. What can
I do to make it up to you?

Just be my friend.

I can do that.

I need you, Lis.

I need you too sometimes, you
know? You gotta be there for me.

Okay, I will. I promise.

I promise. I'm sorry.

I'm sorry. I promise
I won't pressure

you about what happened last week.

You know, sex and all that stuff.
It's stupid, and, I'm sorry.

Yeah, you will.

How do you know that?

You're so gorgeous, I just
can't help it. That's why.

I love you so much, Lisa.
I'm sorry. I just mess up.

Now I get to carry this, huh?

Come on.

I don't need to
graduate, I need a job.

My uncle and brother
are out of work.

You quit school, you'll be on the
streets. How will that help?

Let me make some calls.
Before you make a decision.

Hey, Nick, how's it going?

- Sherm, how are you?
- Nice to see you.

Vinnie, Sherm Williams,
Boston College.

I've heard good things.
Everything okay?

- That time of year again?
- Playing Pitt.

- I understand, you...
- Hold it.

Vinnie. I know you're no quitter.

What?

- Don't quit on me, man.
- Right, coach.

Hey, nice to meet you.

I understand you had a hell of a
defence against Walnut Heights.

I want to see film on Riley,
Djordjevic and Oliver.

Riley and Oliver, they're good.
Djordjevic, I got to pass on.

- Why? That kid's tough.
- He's got an attitude problem.

I cut him from the team.

That must have been
a tough decision.

Yeah, it was tough.

How about it, Greg?
How about what, Stef?

I don't know. How you doing?

- You want to use the car tonight?
- What?

Just drop me off at the Carpatho.

You're not going
to go to the game?

No, I'm going to go get drunk.

I got laid off today.
Me and 700 others.

What are you going to do?

I told you. I'm gonna
get shit-faced.

I mean, after that.

I don't know.

I'm real sorry.

Aren't you supposed
to be at the game?

I hate football.

I just like to watch number 33
run around in those tight pants.

It's pretty cold out here.
You want to go upstairs?

I'll beat you.

- What were you doing up here?
- Just drawing.

Then show me.

You want to see?
Step into my office.

Did you do all these?

Yeah. This is what
I've been playing

football for, for
the past 10 years.

What's that one?

That's my undersea dome. It's just

one of the first
things I ever did.

It's good.

- Where's your dad?
- He's at work.

- And Greg?
- Carpatho.

- Are we alone?
- Yeah. I could call someone.

No.

Why don't you take your
coat off and stay a while?

That would be nice, wouldn't it?

You got that right over your bed.

Yeah. Remember that night?

I've got a funny
outfit to show you.

It's cute.

I love you.

I love you too, Lis.

You hear from Syracuse
or any other school?

No.

Pretty soon it'll be
letter-of-intent day.

The last school I saw
was Walnut Heights.

- How about it, Vin?
- Fuck school, man.

Fuck Christmas.

- Hi, Miss Malevik.
- How are you?

- All right. Do I get a kiss?
- Where are you going?

- Don't ask.
- Pittsburgh.

- See the Penguins and Flyers.
- Aren't we lucky?

- Can I come?
- I'm surprised you're not.

No. You don't go.

- He's only kidding.
- Honeymoon, they go alone.

- That settles that.
- Will you carry this?

- Bye, Miss Malevik.
- Goodbye.

- How you doing?
- All right. How are you doing?

Big day.

I heard Nickerson got
that coaching job.

Yeah. Apparently the guy in
Aliquippa got a better offer.

A toast. To the
bride, the groom...

and the baby. May it
be a boy. Nazdrowie.

Thanks.

- What do you think of this?
- I know.

Tracy always wanted a big
wedding with a long gown.

Every girl does, I guess.

Like we wanted to play
for the Steelers, huh?

I'll give you a hand
with this stuff.

Yeah.

Should we be spending US
tax dollars in Guatemala?

- Excuse me, Miss Dudukovich.
- Yes, sir.

- Yes, I do.
- She doesn't.

Police officer.
You're under arrest.

All right. Come on.

Hold it. Where are you taking him?

To jail.

- What for?
- Armed robbery.

Help me, coach.

Hey. Help me, coach.

Come on, what are you, chicken?

Hold it.

Babe, I want you to
wait here, okay?

No way, Stef. Come on.

Hey, Henry, can I
have another Iron?

- How about it, Mr Bosko?
- Mr Bosko.

Hey, Stef. Lisa Lietzke.

- What can I do for you?
- Mr Bosko, I have a real problem.

Nickerson is blackballing me
because of the stuff at his house.

I was hoping you'd tell
him what really happened.

What really happened?

No college will even touch me now.

Come on, Bosko, the
whole town knows.

Knows what? That I was there?

Hey. Was I at Nickerson's house?
Did I trash it? Were you there?

Were any of you there?

- Please. You gotta help me.
- I don't gotta do anything.

I don't plan on spending
the rest of my life here.

Now, you can't even get a
job in that goddamn mill.

That goddamn mill. Is
that your problem, Stef?

Hey, fellas. Stef's got a
problem with the goddamn mill.

Where your father works?
Where your brother works?

My brother was laid off.

Where my father worked and all
who made this town what it is?

You mean, what it was.

You too good for us or something?

No, sir. I just want
to go to college.

Stef. Is that what's
the matter, Stef?

You getting tired of Polack pussy?

You son of a bitch.

All right. Enough. Enough.
Enough. I said enough.

Bosko.

Hey, Djordjevic, we'll
see you around, okay?

Yes?

Mrs Nickerson, my
name is Lisa Lietzke.

Can I talk to you for a moment?

Please believe me.
I know Stef, and

he'd never try to hurt anyone.

He's a kid. He wants to go
to college and be something.

And your husband's stopping him.

You know, someone happens to
bow out, or a spot opens up...

I would appreciate it if
you could keep me in mind.

Yes, sir.

Okay. Thank you for your time.

What would you do? Would you go?

I'm a junior. I have a year left.

What about after you graduate?

You know, if he leaves here
you'll probably lose him.

I have to let him go. I love him.

I was in love in
high school. We were

gonna get married
after graduation.

The Army took him. I went to North
Carolina State and met Vern.

What do you want to do, Lisa?

I want to study music.

Then do it.

What happened to that
high school boy?

Tommy?

I guess he's in
Parkersburg. I haven't

thought about him in 100 years.

- God, I loved him.
- No more than I love Stef.

Well, yes, sir, I realise it's a

little late, but
I've been very busy.

You know, I was meaning
to call you sooner.

Mr Smith, you said I
could count on you.

I understand. Okay.

Thanks anyway.

Drink some of this.

Are you ashamed of me, Papa?

What are you talking
about? That's crazy.

You're my son. I love you. Why
would I be ashamed of you?

I don't know. I must have done

something wrong for
this to happen.

You've done nothing wrong,
Stefen. You're a good boy.

I love you. We love you.

Your mother was
always proud of you.

I know you're hurt.

It's okay. I understand.

- I love you and I'm proud of you.
- I'm sorry.

I was never prouder of
you than right now.

- You got it.
- You got it, bro.

Drink.

- How's it going, man?
- That's for luck.

Hey, can I have your
attention? Everybody.

I'd like to toast a
friend who couldn't

be with us. To Vinnie Salvucci.

- To the Vucc.
- To Vucc.

What's it going to be?

- Girl.
- A boy.

I'm going to West Virginia.
To West Virginia.

Good for him. He wanted
to go to West Virginia.

- Shadow. Here's to West Virginia.
- Here's to it.

And SC, right, Brian?

Stef, man. I'm going
to have a kid.

That's more important
than college.

I got what I want. I
really got what I wanted.

How you doing, Trace?

You're the 18th person
that's touched my stomach.

Job? What job?

Greg got on with a
demolition company.

He pulled a few strings
and got me weekend work.

- Doing what?
- You know that blast furnace...

down at Franklin and Seven?
Tearing that piece of shit apart.

My father worked
there 14, 15 years.

Then on the fifth day, thank you,
God, he created cheerleaders.

Amen.

And commanded that
they wear skirts...

and do cartwheels, and
that was very good.

- Great.
- I mean, that was pretty good.

And on the sixth day, he
created the football player.

And fans paid money
to watch them hurt.

And that was good. On
the seventh day...

they all played football.

Six-two stack monster. Six-two
stack monster. Ready, hut.

- He's over there on the counter.
- I know.

Mrs Nickerson, excuse me.

I want to tell you I
know it's late and

I have to say this
for my own sake.

I was there the night
your house got messed up.

And I'm sorry it happened.

Hey, Djordjevic.

Djordjevic, I'd like
to talk to you.

We got nothing to talk about.

Where are you going?

- Where am I going?
- Yeah.

No place, man.

Shadow, he's going
to West Virginia.

He just found out tonight.

Tank's going to Furman, you knew
that. You're going to Cal Poly.

Mouse...

Mouse is going to college.
He's gonna play ball.

Me, I'm just gonna hang out
here. I don't know. You know.

Hey, Nickerson. You lied about
me. You blackballed me.

Together, remember that?
Together, together, together.

That was always just bullshit.

- What?
- You're full of shit, man.

You sit in your
office, scholarship,

no scholarship. He goes, he stays.

Who in the hell gave
you that power?

You're just a coach. A high
school football coach.

I mean...

I don't know.

You know...

Nickerson, you are not God.

You are just a typing teacher.

- Mr Djordjevic.
- Hello, Lisa.

- Hi, Greg.
- Hey, Lisa.

It's so good to see you.

- You've been working hard.
- What have you been up to?

- What's he doing here?
- He's been looking for you.

I brought him here. Listen, why
don't you just talk to him?

Just talk to him, huh?

- Hi, Joe.
- Hello. How are you?

- Hi, Greg.
- Coach.

- How are you feeling?
- Okay.

Djordjevic.

I've come here to apologise.
I wanted to tell you...

that I'm sorry about what I
did. You know, and I was wrong.

I'm sorry.

I'd like you to come
play football for

me at Cal Poly on
this scholarship.

You wanna run that by me again?

I want you to play
football for me.

You're just doing
this to feel better.

I am.

You're damn right. I feel a
hell of a lot better right now.

Full scholarship, huh?

Yeah. At one of the
finest engineering

schools in the
country. So sign it.

Come on, Stef. Just
sign it. I love

you. I want you to. Just sign it.

What about you, Lis? Huh?

Sign it.

Pop? Yeah?

Hey, Kurowski.

You tell Bosko, I'll
be seeing him around.

Thanks.

Thanks.

- Coach.
- No, thank you, Stef.

But next time go for
the ball, will you?

Okay?

Yes, sir.

Thanks.

- Yes, sir. Oh, babe.
- All right.
