Varsity Blues Page #6

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.

walking around for a while.

- What's wrong ? Want me to come out ?

- No...

I'm just gonna go home.

It's been a really weird night.

I don't know... I'll see you tomorrow.

They stole a State Trooper car,

and then they exposed themselves

to the Ladies' Auxiliary.

These players nowadays are lawless.

They're all hopped up on beer

and painkillers, is what it is.

They exposed themselves ?

They pressed their wangers

against the glass at the Alano Club

while the girls were rehearsing

the Christmas pageant.

Wangers on the glass

at the Alano Club ? No. No good.

We never stole no cars. I can't let

these boys get away with this stuff.

Earl... Are my boys

too much trouble for you ?

No, Coach. They're just kids.

- Sam's boy looked good last Friday.

- They all get a sweet hand sometime.

Moxon sure ain't got what Lance had.

I want to know where Jon Moxon

came from. A 40-yard touchdown !

- Nice game, Jonathan.

- Thank you.

See you in class.

Bitching wheels. That's a nice car

on a teacher's salary.

- I'm going to see Lance. Wanna come ?

- This is Olin Buchanan of KPJT.

How is it to be out of Harbor's shadow

and showing everyone

you've been underrated ?

Gee... Lance Harbor

left some pretty big shoes to fill.

I don't know that I'll ever

get the job done like he did.

Are you planning to play

in the Ivy League ?

Ivy League... ?

Heck, I don't know.

I don't know.

I just want to thank God

and my team-mates for the win today.

I mean, Jonathan Moxon's

only one man... I'm just one man.

- Thanks.

- All right. Thank you.

"Gee" ? "Heck" ?

You even thanked God.

- You're a scary superstar.

- Come on, Jules.

You referred to yourself as one man.

You're really enjoying this.

Why not ? It's a trip.

I'm gonna go meet my dad.

All right.

Let's razzle-dazzle the dummy D

with the old hook and ladder.

- That play don't work.

- We'll have a little fun then !

Hook and ladder, left, on one.

Ready ? Break !

Is this the one where I trot downfield

and act like I'm lost ?

- Huddle back up again.

- Give me a huddle !

- Tweeder's gonna pitch you the ball.

- No !

Just catch the ball ! "Oh, a ball.

I'm gonna catch it." That's all.

- I'm not an eligible receiver.

- Just catch the damn ball.

- Fine.

- Ready ? Break !

When did the circus come to town ?

I didn't see no trucks.

- It would've been six if he caught it.

- For which team ?

You listen hard. Stick to the basics !

Stick to the basics ! Stick to the basics !

We're a running team. You only call

what I tell you to call. You hear me ?

You are the damn dumbest

smart kid I know.

Come in.

No, don't sit.

It won't take a minute.

You're dragging ass,
