• Herb Brooks : This is unbelievable. You guys are playing like this is some throw away game up in Rochester. Who we playing, Rammer?

  Mike Ramsey : Sweden.

  Herb Brooks : Yeah. You're damn right Sweden! In the Olympics!

  [turn to McClanahan] 

  Herb Brooks : What the hell is wrong with you? Put your gear on!

  [pause] 

  Herb Brooks : I said put your gear on!

  Rob McClanahan : Doc told me I can't play.

  Herb Brooks : Yeah, yeah, yeah, I know. You got a bad bruise. You know what? Put your street clothes on because I got no time for quitters!

  Mike Eruzione : Come on, Herb! No body is quitting here!

  Herb Brooks : You worry about your own game. Plenty there to keep you busy.

  Herb Brooks : A bruise on the leg is a hell of a long way from the heart, candy ass.

  Rob McClanahan : What'd you call me?

  Herb Brooks : You heard me!

  Rob McClanahan : You want me to play, huh? Is that what you want?

  Herb Brooks : I want you to be a hockey player!

  Rob McClanahan : [yells]  I AM A HOCKEY PLAYER! YOU WANT ME TO PLAY ON ONE LEG? HUH? I'LL PLAY ON ONE LEG!

  Herb Brooks : [walking out of the locker room with McClanahan still screaming]  That'll get him going.

  Craig Patrick : Oh, yeah. I'll clean up!

• Herb Brooks : [showing the team a new play]  Boom he can hit him. Boom. Boom. Boom. We're opening up options. We've got four options off of one play. Allright. Any questions?

  [silence] 

  Herb Brooks : Good, let's go.

  Buzz Schneider : What the hell is he talking about?

  Rob McClanahan : No clue!

• Jack O'Callahan : This is crazy, Herb. Bringing him in this late.

  Rob McClanahan : We've got parents buying tickets, getting rooms. What are we supposed to tell them? And with one of us going home as it is...

  Herb Brooks : I guess I don't have to ask where you stand on this do I, Rizzo?

  Rob McClanahan : This wasn't Rizzo's idea.

  Mike Eruzione : You want me to say, "I'm scared of getting cut?" I'm scared of getting cut. Everyone is.

  Jack O'Callahan : We just want it to be fair, Herb.

  Herb Brooks : Don't try to tell me what's fair. He was right back there with us in Colorado.

  Mike Eruzione : That was six months ago!

  Herb Brooks : And you don't think he's been playing for the last six months?

  Mike Eruzione : Not with us he hasn't!

  Herb Brooks : So?

  Mike Eruzione : So there's a difference!

  Herb Brooks : Like hell there is! All I know is that that kid can flat out play!

  Jack O'Callahan : What and we can't?

  Herb Brooks : He's got great vision on the ice...

  Rob McClanahan : That's not the point!

  Herb Brooks : I'll tell ya what else he's got. He's got the attitude I want on and off the ice. So somebody here better tell me why I shouldn't be giving him a hell of a look!

  Mark Johnson : Because we're a family!

  Herb Brooks : What?

  Mark Johnson : We're a family.

• Rob McClanahan : [from across the room]  Hey, Rizzo! What's going on?

  Mike Eruzione : Mac!

  [turns to O.C] 

  Mike Eruzione : Easy, big guy.

  Jack O'Callahan : [referring to Eruzione and Silk]  I don't know how the two of you can sit in the same room with that clown.

  Mike Eruzione : Let it go. It's over. Let it go.

  Cox : What's going on here?

  Dave Silk : O.C's got a little unfinished business over there.

  Jack O'Callahan : Not for long I don't.

  Mike Eruzione : Hey, what did I tell you, man?

  Cox : McClanahan? You're not still going on about the 76 playoffs are you? Oh... come on, O.C., that was like three years ago!

  Jack O'Callahan : You know what, Coxy, let me ask you a question. Why'd you wanna play college hockey?

  Cox : Isn't it obvious? For the girls!

  Jack O'Callahan : I'm serious, Coxy. Why'd you wanna play college hockey?

  Cox : Cause I love to play hockey. I wanna go to the NHL just like everyone does.

  Jack O'Callahan : Well I wanted to win a national championship. That pansy over there cheap shots me. I get tossed out of the game. He steals the ring right off my finger! How would you feel?

  Mike Eruzione : Everyone was throwin cheap shots that night.

  Jack O'Callahan : You know, Rizzo. It's funny you say that 'cause I was just wondering what side you're on!

  Mike Eruzione : I'm on your side!

  Jack O'Callahan : You know it really seems that way.

• Rob McClanahan : How's your legs?

  Jack O'Callahan : I'll let you know when I can feel them!

• Herb Brooks : [after the fight between O' Callahan and McClanahan breaks up]  Well, how 'bout it, boys? Look like hockey to you? Looks more like a couple monkeys trying to hump a football to me, I don't know. What do you think, Craig?

  Craig Patrick : [pause]  Yeah.

  Herb Brooks : You wanna settle old scores, you're on the wrong team. We move forward starting right now. We start becoming a team right now! Skating, passing, flow and creativity. That is what this team is all about, gentlemen, not old rivalries. So, why don't we start with some introductions. You know, get to know each other a little bit. Where you from. Who you are. Go ahead.

  Herb Brooks : Who do you play for?

  Rob McClanahan : I play for you, here at the U.

  Rob McClanahan : Yeah.

  Mike Eruzione : Mike Eruzione. Boston University.

  [pause] 

  Mike Eruzione : You're trying to play for Brooks a little more, huh?

  Rob McClanahan : I played for him for four years. A few more months wouldn't hurt. What about you?

  Mike Eruzione : Just trying to play a little more hockey, that's all.

  Rob McClanahan : Rest of your boys all here?

  Mike Eruzione : Of course! Think they'd miss out on all this? Might want to wait a day or so before you go over and say hi!
