Even if you're down there

for one hour, man,

you're down there.

(BELL RINGING )

Old Maxie's ready

to call it a night, huh?

Last call, pally.

Saddest music I know.

(DOOR OPENING )

(DOOR SHUTTING )

(ONE FOR MY BAB Y

B Y JOHNN Y MERCER PLA YIN G)

-Hi, Pop.

-Vince.

Come on in.

(SIGHING )

I never did like her.

I never told you that, did I?

Guess maybe I should've

seen it coming, huh?

What does she think?

You're the only guy out there

trying to make ends meet?

All those years,

your mother being sick...

Well, that was nobody's fault.

But this...

Pop, I never had to ask you this before,

but I'm gonna have trouble

making rent.

Yeah.

-How much you need?

-Hundred bucks.

-I can pay you back as soon as I...

-No, no, forget it.

There've been times

I've needed help, too.

This is family.

We've had some rough times,

you and me,

but we stick on this one, okay?

Thanks.

So, what do you make

of this new coach?

Beat Woody Hayes in the Rose Bowl.

Saying something.

You know, I heard from Maxie

that the guys are riding you pretty hard

about going to this tryout.

Yeah, well...

You know, Vince,

it might not be the worst thing

to let this one go.

A man can only take so much failure.

(PEOPLE CHATTERING )

NEWS REPORTER:
Hello, Philly fans.

I'm here today with literally hundreds

of Eagle hopefuls waiting for their shot

at coach Dick Vermeil's

much-publicized open tryout.

Come on.

Now, what brings you

out here today, sir?

-Gonna be an Eagle, baby.

-ALL:
Yeah!

(MAN WHOOPING )

What makes you think

you have a chance out here?

Well, Wade,

two years' high school football, varsity.

ALL:
Yeah!

I'm 28 years old. Look at me.

I'm in the best shape of my life!

(CHEERING )

Now, is there anything else

you'd like to say?

Absolutely.

ALL:
( SIN GIN G) Fight, Eagles, fight

On the road to victory

Fight, Eagles, fight

What more can I say?

(LET'S WORK TOGETHER

B Y CANNED HEA T PLA YIN G)

Don't talk to him. Keep moving.

Go, go, go, go!

No, no, this is... This is too stupid.

This is more stupid than I'm used to.
