  [Kelvin sees Willie's tattoo] 

  Kelvin Owens : I know you. You a God damn 88.

  Willie Weathers : Yeah, that's right.

  Kelvin Owens : You lucky we up in here. 'Cause on the outs you'd be dead.

  Willie Weathers : I'll kill you right here, right now.

• Sean Porter : You see this line, Willie? You knock me past this line, you'll have my respect.

  Willie Weathers : What if I don't wanna?

  Sean Porter : Then everybody will think you're a chicken shit.

• Willie Weathers : They ain't that good, man. We're better. And it means much more to us. You know? When this all started, man. Coach, he said we'd be winners. I thought he was full of shit, man. I hated y'all. Didn't want no part of it. But then, we made a team. We showed people somethin'. Coach is right. We changed. We're not losers no more. All we gotta do is go out there and show it one more time. You know what I'm sayin'?

• Anthony : Don't do this, please! I got two little boys at home!

  Willie Weathers : For my dead homie!

  Anthony : No, don't do this!

  [Willie shoots and misses him] 

  Willie Weathers : Oh, shit! Damn!

• [the Mustang players are writing letters home] 

  Kenny Bates : I'm glad to hear that things are getting better, Mom. Maybe when I get out we can live together again. Football is great. And I'm good at it now.

  Donald Madlock : I love sackin' the quarterback! Sometimes I can't even believe it's legal.

  Leon Hayes : Throwing TDs don't pay as much as slingin' rocks. But damn, it feel good.

  Kelvin Owens : Grandma, you'd be proud of me. I'm stayin' outta trouble. I don't have enemies here anymore.

  Bug Wendal : We done won seven in a row now. I can't remember the exact number of touchdowns I scored. I think about 60.

  Willie Weathers : Dear Danyelle, I wish you would write back to me. I'm different than I was. I think you would like me again if you saw me play football.

• Willie Weathers : I don't know what's happening to me, man.

  Sean Porter : I do. You're not the loser you were when you first go here, Willie. You're just not use to being a winner.

  Willie Weathers : My father said I was a waste of his time and his money.

  Sean Porter : Your father was a loser, Willie. My old man was the same way. He spent so much time telling me I was no good, telling me I was nothing. I believed him.

  Willie Weathers : That why yo so pissed off all the time?

  [Coach Porter laughs] 

  Sean Porter : Yeah, that's probably got something to do with it.

  Sean Porter : I know how you feel, Willie. You get to the point where you expect to screw up. You expect to fail. If we wanna win, we gotta let 'em go. Forgive 'em and move on.

  Willie Weathers : Forgive 'em?

  Sean Porter : Otherwise we give 'em too much power over us. And they don't deserve it.

  Willie Weathers : Well, how long it take you to forgive your dad?

  [Coach Porter thinks about it for some time] 

  Sean Porter : Until just now.
