Any Given Sunday Page #5

Synopsis: When a devastating hit knocks a professional football legend and quarterback Cap Rooney out of the game, a young, unknown third-stringer is called in to replace him. Having ridden the bench for years because of a string of bad luck stories and perhaps insufficient character, Willie Beaman seizes what may be his last chance, and lights up the field with a raw display of athletic prowess. His stunning performance over several games is so outstanding and fresh it seems to augur a new era in the history of this Miami franchise, and forces aging coach Tony D'Amato to reevaluate his time-tested values and strategies and begin to confront the fact that the game, as well as post-modern life may be passing him by. Adding to the pressure on D'Amato to win at any cost is the aggressive young President/Co-owner of the team, Christina Pagniacci, now coming into her own after her father's death. Christina's driving desire to prove herself in a male dominated world is intensified by her focus on the

Forget about the offensive line.

And forget about Cap Rooney.

Forget about the money-grubbing

Christina Pagniacci.

Hello, genius!

This guy started coaching

in the late '60s, for God's sake!

I'm glad he's not talking about me.

This is a team with more than 200

variations on the pass!

Napoleon D'Amato's playbook's

got less than 75 plays, total!

What's wrong with this picture?

You're that coach, right?

I'm Mandy. Mandy Murphy.

You look better in real life.

You're always yelling at people on TV.

At least I look better

than that old fart up there, no?

I think.

You do.

-How old are you?

-I don't think age matters.

I think older guys have a certain thing.

I've wanted to meet you since I was 1 6.

You were on the sidelines.

You were winning this big game.

The Pantheon Cup, yeah.

That was it.

God, that's so wild!

So you promise to keep a secret?

I don't know. How do you mean?

On a date?

I got a place.

It's close by. It's quiet.

It's a thousand.

Five thousand for the night.

You won't regret it.

I'm flattered, thank you, but....

I got friends.

I could do your friends too.

-Some other time maybe.

-Fair enough.

Good luck.

I'll be rooting for you.

-Thank you.

-Coach.

I know you're not gonna

pass on that, D'Amato.

I must be drunk.

--Christina Pagniacci,

who's so smart. ..

...she sold three of last year's

starters in the off-season.

You think you can lose

your coaching instincts?

You never had them.

How you gonna lose them?

All I got are my instincts.

I lose those...

...I got nothing.

Please leave your name and message

and we'll get right back to you.

Have a nice day. Bye-bye.

So, Jeanette....

I was hoping you'd be awake.

What time is it out there, anyway?

Never mind.

Could you tell Tommy that I'll be

in L.A. in a couple of weeks?

We got a game.

I'd like to get together with him...

...but I don't have his new number.

I really miss the sh*t out of

little Timmy and Melinda.

And you.

Grandkids.

We got grandkids.

Why did we get divorced anyway?

F***!

If you'd like to make a call,

please hang up and try again.

Sh*t!

We're gonna make a difference

this week!

Just the tip of the ball. Catch it!

This ain't no bullshit West Virginia.

You in the big leagues!

What the f*** is that? What are you,

a p*ssy? That ain't no damn hit.

-14 years, I know how to hit.

-14 years, you're captain.

Show me!

Break that sh*t up!

Goddamn it, baby! You did it!

That's my boy, my brotherfucker!

That's the way to hit it, Shark.

That is the way to hit it.

Now, come on in here.

Let me get this straight.

The California governor says there's

nothing for the public to vote on?

She's got the finances to build
