Paul Crewe

• [after being pulled over by cops] Hey, you can finish that one. I got five more. Take care, guys.
• [on TV after he crashes his girlfriend's car] Hey, Lena! I think we should start seeing other people!
• [After crashing into several cop cars] Good news, boys. I didn't spill my beer.

Caretaker

• Me? No, I was so bad I was picked after the white kids. Guys would look at me and say, "Damn, we picked the only nigger can't play."

Cheeseburger Eddy

• I knew you couldn't resist my shit. I got the shakes that will make you quake, I got the fries that will cross your eyes, I got the burgers that will... I just got burgers.
• You always have to protect the McNuggets.

Nate Scarborough

• Well, we may not have the most talented team, but we definitely have the meanest.

Captain Knauer

• You got a lot of balls, Crewe. You played a hell of a game. And don't worry, I know you had nothing to do with Caretaker's murder- and I'll back that up.

Dialogue

Paul: Huddle up! Look, I'm sure you already know this, but I've never said it out loud. I *did* throw that game. I did it. I was in a bad way with some worse people. After I did it, I felt so shitty, I wish I would have just let them kill me instead. Now the warden wants to pin Caretaker's murder on me if I don't throw *this* game. So it looks like I'm going to get to know you guys a lot better because I ain't doing that twice in a lifetime. We got a little time left. We can still do this. I'm begging you. Put your hands in here. Okay, thank you. Who are we?

[Team shouts, "Mean Machine!", and takes the field]

Turley: I'm glad you are back. Now I don't have to stab you.
