Varsity Blues Page #2

Synopsis: In small-town Texas, high school football is a religion. The head coach is deified, as long as the team is winning and 17-year-old schoolboys carry the hopes of an entire community onto the gridiron every Friday night. In his 35th year as head coach, Bud Kilmer (Jon Voight) is trying to lead his West Canaan Coyotes to their 23rd division title. When star quarterback Lance Harbor (Paul Walker) suffers an injury, the Coyotes are forced to regroup under the questionable leadership of John Moxon (James Van Der Beek), a second-string quarterback with a slightly irreverent approach to the game. "Varsity Blues" explores our obsession with sports and how teenage athletes respond to the extraordinary pressures places on them.

- Not here here.

But somewhere here.

- How come you never dress like that ?

- It costs a lot to look that cheap.

- She's pretty sharp. She pulls A's.

- That's not all she pulls.

- I'm just saying she's not stupid.

- You shut up.

She broke my heart

so I broke her jaw...

- When did you graduate ?

- I'm class of 1980.

- He's class of 1980.

- And you still come to these parties ?

- I never miss these.

- That's team spirit.

Are you ready to be on

"America's Hilarious Home Videos" ?

- Absolutely.

- All right. Put down that glass.

Pick up that there flower pot.

Bring it up over your head.

Now close your eyes.

Think real hard...

You getting this ?

Say, "I'm stupid and I'm about

to get hit in the nuts."

- That's funny.

- Ain't it ?

They need to change the name to

"America's Funniest Shots in the Nuts".

- I don't know if I can concentrate here.

- Relax...

Let the dryer do the work.

All right, fancy boy,

you ready to show us your dinner ?

Nothing but net.

You thinking about

calling some dinosaurs ?

I figured I'd give them...

...a holler.

Billy Bob's gonna puke.

Hey, if you're hungry,

I left a few hot dogs in here.

I'm back ! Puke and rally !

That's the way to ride them.

First-string offence, take water.

Dummios, follow your dummy QB

for a scrimmage.

Moxon, pick it up !

Your attitude's earning you laps, boy.

Keep smiling, shithead.

He used to hammer my ass

the same way 27 years ago.

- Hell, it's good for them.

- They're having the time of their lives.

- Oop-dee-oop left, on one.

- Let's go, big Mox !

Shift !

What the hell kind of offence is that ?

Kilmer's gonna eat his ass.

- Jesus, Moxon, what are you doing ?

- It's a secret.

Your dummies can't run a simple draw,

and you got secret formations ?

- This ain't no f***ing sandlot.

- It's called an Oop-dee-oop.

Overload the defense on one side,

burn them one-on-one on the other.

You got a bad attitude

and you don't listen !

We do things around here my way !

You think you're in some fancy school ?

I wonder if you know the difference

between a sneeze and a wet fart !

- You'll be second-string all your life !

- Kilmer loves to bang on your boy.

- Been on him all season.

- Oop-dee-oop, give me a break !

I stood up to it, so will he.

We're holding our Troy back a year,

so he'll be bigger for frosh tryouts.

- Eighth grade ain't so bad, is it ?

- Our Kyle's dying to be a Coyote.

Had that ankle injury, but he's ready

to go now. Ain't that right, son ?

Kyle ?

Kyle !

He's very spiritual.

It's a shame nobody had the mind

to hold us back when we was kids.

Hell, I didn't fare so bad.

Lance ! Toss me one, son.

Let's show them your old pop's still
