-And she wants a divorce?

-Look, it's nothing, all right?

Just forget about it, Tommy.

(DRIFT AWAY B Y DOBIE GRA Y

PLA YIN G ON JUKEBO x)

Gin and tonic, light on the tonic,

and a Red neat for you, yeah?

-That's right.

-Here you go.

Sweetheart, if you could cook Italian,

I'd marry you.

-lf she had no legs, you'd marry her.

-Get out of here.

(LAUGHING )

-Sorry I'm late, Max.

-Hey, Vince, we're covered.

-I know, I know, Max. I'm sorry.

-Hey, no problem.

Anything you need, all right?

Vince Papale,

meet my cousin, Janet Cantwell.

-Hey.

-Nice to meet you.

And just so everyone knows,

we have a minor character flaw

that we're all gonna

have to deal with here.

-I don't see many flaws, Max.

-Watch it, Tommy.

MAN:
Hubba-hubba.

My cousin, who is from New York,

who was born in New York,

is a New York Giants fan.

(BOOING )

-Go, Giants.

-You gotta be kidding me.

-A passionate New York Giants fan.

-MAN:
Come on.

Max, she's a Giant fan?

-Maxie, come on.

-I know, I know.

JANET:
62-10.

Giants humiliate the Eagles.

What was that? Three years ago?

And we actually get our players

from something called the NFL draft.

MAN 1:
Ooh!

MAN 2:
Yeah!

MAN 1:
What kind of talk is that?

See, Vince?

That's another reason

why you gotta try out this weekend.

-Nobody's trying out, Tommy, okay?

-Why not?

-You clean up at all our games.

-Oh.

-He's 30 years old, for one thing.

-Oh, shut your mouth.

Yeah, there's a little difference

between Mean Joe Greene

and Bobby from the Tanker, you think?

Hey, hey, screw Mean Joe.

We don't even play Pittsburgh

this year.

-Petey's right.

-Yeah, why not?

Your old lady ain't gonna stop you.

What? What'd you say, Johnny?

-What?

-What do you mean, "What"?

You playing stupid now?

You got a problem with me, Johnny?

What'd I do?

Why don't you get out of here, Johnny?

Come on, right now.

Hey, forget it. He's drunk.

He just needs to find some work,

that's all.

(HOW LONG B Y ACE PLA YIN G

ON JUKEBO x)

You know, you and your thing.

Johnny losing it

'cause he can't pay a bill.

Now, Pete...

Pete ain't been right since his brother

Andrew came back dead from the war.

What about you, Tommy?

You hanging in okay?

Yeah, same old.

Bunch of guys

talking about going on a strike.

I ain't worried.

You know I'm serious

about this tryout, right?

(SLURRING ) Hey. I have, like,

eight beers in me,

but I'm serious, okay?

Tommy, I mean,

I played one year of high school ball.

It ain't gonna happen.

There's no one I know that is

a bigger Eagle fan than you, okay?

Nobody.

All right, we're talking

about Veterans Stadium here.

Where Eagles dare.

I mean, that is sacred ground, pally.
