Hank Murphy Quotes:

  • Maggie Nelson: [stands] Um, excuse me. I'd like to say something on behalf of George Knox.

    Hank Murphy: What's your name? What's your business here?

    Maggie Nelson: My name is Maggie Nelson. I take care of foster kids. One of these boys is the child who can see angels. He could stand up right now and tell you what's going on and I'd know you'd just laugh at him. But, when a professional football player drops to one knee to thank God for making a touchdown, nobody laughs at that. Or when a pitcher crosses himself before going to the mound, no one laughs at that either. It's like your saying it's okay to believe in God, but it's not okay to believe in angels. Now, I thought that they were on the same team.

    Hank Murphy: Is it your belief, ma'am, that angels play baseball?

    Maggie Nelson: Since the all-star break, yes. We all need someone to believe in. Every child I have ever looked after has someone: an angel. You've got to have faith. You've got to believe. You have to look inside yourself. The footprints of an angel are love, and where there is love, miraculous things can happen. I've seen it.

    [sits]

    Mel Clark: [stands] I'd also like to say something. I don't know if there are any angels here other than the twenty-five of us in uniform. But I know there is one thing I won't do: I won't play for anyone but George Knox. I believe in him.

    Triscuitt Messmer: [stands] That goes for me, too.

    Rest of Angels baseball team, Roger, & J.P.: [stands and nods in agreement]

    George Knox: Thank you. All of you.

  • Hank Murphy: You believe there's real angels?

    George Knox: I know it sounds crazy.

  • Hank Murphy: Ranch?

    [Ranch turns to face him, grinning as though he supported the play]

    Hank Murphy: You're fired.

    [exits]

    Ranch Wilder: You can't fire me! I have got a contract! I AM RANCH WILDER!

    Wally: [cheerfully] Easy, Ranch. Less is more.

  • Hank Murphy: Are you crackin' up, or is this a repeat of Cincinnati?

    George Knox: No, no, it's nothing like that.

  • Hank Murphy: You feeling any better today, George?

    George Knox: Why would I be feeling any better?

    Hank Murphy: Commissioner's fined you $5,000 for you jumping Gates. And word has it Ranch is pressing civil charges for you popping him.

    George Knox: [grins] Come to think of it, I have felt better since I slugged Wilder.

    Hank Murphy: Your pistol's smoking, pal.

    George Knox: I hadn't made the connection.

    Hank Murphy: I know you two have been at each other's throats for a long time.

    George Knox: Yeah, we've been at each others throats since he spiked my knee and ruined my career.

    Hank Murphy: Accidents happen, George.

    George Knox: It wasn't an accident. When you slide into a catcher with your nails up, it's on purpose.

    Hank Murphy: Now, don't go making more cow pies to step in, George. You've already got enough manure on your boots now. Control yourself today.
