to get you down here.

I appreciate that.

Look.

What I want is a national title.

If, perchance, you should help us

achieve that goal,

I expect your stay here

with us will be very agreeable.

Well?

I just want to do my time,

then get out of here.

Very well.

All right, I'll turn you over

to the good hands of Captain Knauer.

Swamp reclamation.

Get him out of here.

Captain.

- Yes, sir.

I'd like a word with you.

For the past five years,

you've promised me the national title,

and every year,

you've come up short.

I try, sir.

- When I want an answer, I'll indicate.

Yes, sir.

You've asked for bonus money.

Certainly take their football seriously,

don't they?

This year you've asked for new

game uniforms. I've OK'ed them.

Everything you've asked for,

I've given you.

Yes, sir. And I appreciate it, sir.

I want that title.

You'll give me that title,

or you'll be out of a job.

You and all that

over-priced beef you call a team.

We should be in the Superbowl by now.

I've lost patience. The gravy train is over.

This year you're going to win.

You've lovely hair.

...your last chance. Prison is no

different from any other community.

Ever find any spiders in it?

...then I haven't done my job.

I'm not being unreasonable, am I?

No, sir.

- Then you'll give me the title?

Yes, sir.

- Good.

I want that man out there.

And I want you to make

that son of a b*tch enthusiastic.

Ever do it standing up?

- Let's move it.

I say forget football, you do it.

- Why are you so mad?

You better start taking life seriously.

- I did exactly what you told me to do.

Hey, Superstar.

Get a good night's sleep?

Too bad you missed breakfast.

It was yummy.

Gotta get it done.

This is make-work day.

- What's make-work day?

You shovel it in and shovel back out again.

Hustle in there now.

Cover that bank.

Get that wheelbarrow, Woody.

Let's go. Single file.

Hang it up, hang it up.

Let's get covered.

All right, let's go. Come on.

Get a shovel.

Hey, Superstar.

I got an idea. Granny.

You ever work with a n*gger before?

Get another shovel there, boy.

All right. Let's go.

Heave it up.

Sitting down, boss?

- Not today, boy.

Wiping off, boss?

- Not today, boy.

Rolling one, boss?

- Not yet, boy.

Now you know how black man's work feels.

How do you like it?

Oh, it sort of grows on you.

No talking there, Granny.

Yes, boss.

- You'll find yourselves in bad time.

Yes, boss. Sorry about that, boss.

What's he think this is, good time?

Looky, looky, looky,

here comes cooky.

Big deal. Look at him now.

How do you like them apples,

Superstar?

Move the line.

Real friendly types you got around here.

Might be your own fault.
