Varsity Blues Page #5

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.

- No problem.

- What the hell are you doing ?

- Changing.

I'm wearing underwear. It covers up

the same as a bathing suit.

- Does it really bother you ?

- Whatever...

I can handle it.

This has been the worst night

of my life.

You really aren't looking.

You're sweet.

- Lance is gonna be all right.

- His career's probably over.

You guys are gonna be all right.

You love each other.

Things change, Mox.

I don't wanna think about it right now.

- I'm sorry.

- It's okay.

I mean, what about you and Jules ?

- Is there a future ?

- Yeah... I mean, she's great.

I got another year

till she's graduating...

I love spending time with her.

Things change, Mox.

You're the starting quarterback now.

- Well, you're here.

- You're not coming in ?

Not tonight. It doesn't seem right

with Lance all f***ed-up.

You don't always have to do

the right thing, Mox.

We'll continue this any time you want.

Hey, girls.

- Hey, Tweeder, how you doing ?

- Good. How are you ?

- Well, if it ain't Charley Tweeder.

- Yes, it is.

- How are we doing tonight ?

- We are doing fine.

- Congratulations.

- Congratulations to you, too.

Congratulations for what ?

For getting to wear

such cute "mount me" hats.

- Mount me ?

- Not right away. After a few drinks...

We just wanna make sure

no one drinks and drives.

- You got a smart mouth.

- I know, and I'm gonna watch it.

I'm gonna go home. Take these drinks.

I don't wanna drink and drive.

There'll be no drinking and no driving.

- It's time for you to go home.

- You're right. I'm going home.

- All right ? I'm going home.

- Bye, Tweeder.

- You hurt my feelings. I'm going home.

- Where's Billy Bob ?

- And you can kiss my ass !

- He's taking the car !

I'm gonna go to jail.

Son of a b*tch !

- Great game tonight.

- Thanks.

- How much ?

- Your money's no good here.

Moxon, you are under arrest for not

being naked with a sophomore chick

who wants to bathe you

with her tongue. Get in the car !

- Tweeder ?

- Damn right.

We're all naked and we got handcuffs

and cool sh*t to play with.

- Now take off your clothes and get in.

- Mox, will you come keep me warm ?

Oh, sh*t...

I can't go with you,

but I'll give you my jacket.

- Here you go.

- Thank you.

Sorry, Mox, I got to bail.

Ladies...

Shut up and hold on to your nipples.

- You weren't asleep, were you ?

- No, I was naming my unborn children.

- How's Lance ?

- He's out of the first surgery.

They'll have to go back in there

in a few weeks.

- I'm gonna go see him tomorrow.

- I heard you played a great game.

- It was strange.

- Strange to be a god now ?

I don't know. I mean...

We did win, you know ?

I don't know. I've just been
