[edit] Dialogue
- Caretaker: Most of these old boys don't have nothing. Never had nothing to start with. But you, You had it all. Then you let your teammates down, got yourself caught with your hand in the cookie jar.
- Paul: Oh I did, did I?
- Caretaker: Oh, I ain't saying you did or you didn't. All I'm saying is that you could have robbed banks, sold dope or stole your grandmother's pension checks and none of us would have minded. But shaving points off of a football game, man that's un-American.
- Paul: You take your football down here real serious, don't you?
- Caretaker: You mind if I ask you one question?
- Paul: Yes, I do mind!
- Caretaker: Why did you do it?
- Paul: It's a long story.
- Caretaker: Well, I got eight years.
