Varsity Blues Page #7

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.

and it's f***ing up my universe.

You're fat, slow,

all of a sudden you're lazy.

If it wasn't for you,

I'd still have Lance.

- Coach, my head...

- I don't want no excuses.

I want you to fix it.

Get out of here.

Get the hell out.

Mox, wait up.

- What time ?

- What time what ?

When are you coming over tonight ?

It's half-price night at the gun club.

My folks never get home before twelve.

- I visited Lance today in the...

- This is about you and me.

I've known you my whole life.

I'm not telling anyone

you're coming over.

Anytime after seven.

Why be good ? I'm always good.

Where's my upside to being good ?

I'm 18, it's not like I'm married to her.

She invited me. I'm just being polite.

Right, Kyle ?

Kyle... ?

I only answer to one name :

The great El Ali Akbar Shabazz Da.

- That's a bunch of names.

- There's only one God. Praise Allah.

Yeah, but would Allah nail Darcy

if he had the chance ?

- I think he would.

- As-Salaam Alaikum.

Okay...

- I gave up on you.

- Am I too late ?

Come in.

I'm glad you came. It's kind of weird

to have you in my house.

Yeah, I feel like

I'm doing something illegal.

Well, not yet.

Look at me, I'm a mess.

No one ever sees me like this.

I think this is the best

I've ever seen you look.

You're sweet, Mox,

but you know you are.

Nice house.

I was about to make

an ice cream sundae.

You want one ?

- Yeah, have one. I'll make it.

- All right.

- Do you want whipped cream ?

- Sure.

Come here.

Wait, wait, wait.

I can't.

We can't. This is not...

I'm really sorry.

- What ? You're sorry ?

- There's Lance, there's Jules...

I don't know if I love Jules,

but I might.

What I do know is, I don't love you,

but Lance might love you...

I don't love Lance.

It was never about love.

It was about me getting a better life.

Lance and I were gonna leave.

Now he'll stay in West Canaan, manage

a Wal-Mart and coach JV football.

Darcy...

I just wanted to go with you.

You're gonna get out of West Canaan

on your own.

You're smart.

- Unbelievable.

- What ?

I usually fall for

the whipped-cream bikini every time.

Wendell, meet me at the mini-mart

at 10:
00 tonight.

- For what ?

- I could tell you, but I'd have to kill you.

- Where's Billy Bob ? I can't find him.

- Kilmer.

He's been

riding the f*** out of Billy Bob.

Blaming him for Lance's knee.

Look man, I'm over this sh*t.

- I hear you.

- You don't hear me.

Kilmer's a f***ing racist.

You know how many yards

I average a game ? 133.

You know how many

touchdowns I have ?

Three. That's only because

I broke for over twenty yards each time.

If we're inside the 10, he gives the ball

to Lance or some white receiver.
