Shane Falco Quotes:

  • Shane Falco: I wish I could say something classy and inspirational, but that just wouldn't be our style.

    [pause while everybody is in the huddle]

    Shane Falco: Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory... lasts forever.

  • Shane Falco: You're playing and you think everything is going fine. Then one thing goes wrong. And then another. And another. You try to fight back, but the harder you fight, the deeper you sink. Until you can't move... you can't breathe... because you're in over your head. Like quicksand.

  • Jimmy McGinty: Falco! If I had wanted Cochran to have the ball I would've called it that way!

    Shane Falco: I read blitz.

    Jimmy McGinty: Bullshit! I put the game in your hands... you got scared.

    Shane Falco: I READ BLITZ.

    Jimmy McGinty: [walks over and looks at Falco with disgust] Winners always want the ball... when the game is on the line.

  • Shane Falco: [Shane parks his truck at the stadium and sees several of the former Sentinels approaching his truck] You gotta be kidding me. Come on Martel, I didn't park in your space.

    Eddie Martel: No, no. But unfortunately, you did park in La Mont's space. And he's not nearly as lenient as I am.

    Malcolm La Mont: On three fellas. One, two, three!

    [the former Sentinels tip over Shane's truck. Shane begins to walk away until Jamal and Andre step up]

    Andre Jackson: We got this, we got this.

    Jamal Jackson: Y'all wanna put the car back?

    Eddie Martel: Gentlemen, this is none of your business.

    Andre Jackson: Shane's our business. We're the guards.

    Jamal Jackson: And we protect our quarterback.

    [the former Sentinels all crack up laughing]

    Jamal Jackson: Oh, you got jokes. You got jokes. That's your ride right there, ain't it?

    [Jamal nods at a very expensive looking car]

    Eddie Martel: Yeah.

    [Jamal whips out a pistol and shoots at the car, leaving six bullet holes in the windshield]

    Eddie Martel: That's my windshield, you crazy mother...

    Jamal Jackson: Put the car back!

    Malcolm La Mont: Son of a bitch!

    Jamal Jackson: Son of a bitch? Oh, son of a bitch. Son of a bitch? Son of a bitch?

    [Jamal shoots the driver side window, shattering it]

    Eddie Martel: Stop, stop, stop! Come on goddamn it, help me!

    [Sentinels shove Shane's truck back over]

    Malcolm La Mont: You're gonna pay for that.

    Jamal Jackson: No I'm not. Stop messing with my man, and that includes his ride. Matter of fact, wax that muthafucka. Give it a tune up.

    [as if nothing has happened]

    Jamal Jackson: Ya ready to go to practice Shane?

    Shane Falco: Yeah. Let's do that.

    Andre Jackson: What's that smell?

    Shane Falco: Wild yam.

    Andre Jackson: That's nice. That's nice.

  • Jimmy McGinty: You know what seperates the winners from the losers?

    Shane Falco: The score.

    Jimmy McGinty: No, getting back on the horse after getting kicked in the teeth.

  • Shane Falco: Hey coach, can I ask you a question?

    Jimmy McGinty: Yeah, shoot.

    Shane Falco: Why me?

    Jimmy McGinty: I look at you and I see two men: the man you are, and the man you ought to be. Someday those two will meet. Should make for a hell of a football player.

  • Eddie Martel: Nobody can beat Dallas with these losers!

    Shane Falco: [walks in] I can.

  • Eddie Martel: This doesn't change anything Falco! I'm still an All-Pro quarterback with two Superbowl rings. You'll never be anything more than a replacement player.

    Shane Falco: Yeah. Yeah, I can live with that.

  • Shane Falco: Pain heals. Chicks dig scars. Glory lasts forever.

  • Shane Falco: I want the ball.

    Jimmy McGinty: Winners always do.

  • Nigel 'The Leg' Gruff: Hey Shane Falco. I lost a ton of money on that Sugar Bowl disaster of yours. What a bloody shambles that was. You could smell the stink all the way back in bloody Wales.

    Shane Falco: Nice meeting you.

  • Shane Falco: You, ah, wanna come on board for a beer?

    Annabelle Farrell: Nothing personal, Shane, but I don't date football players.

    Shane Falco: I don't blame you. Not even quaterbacks?

    Annabelle Farrell: Especially not quarterbacks. You guys are the biggest babies of all.

  • Shane Falco: I think I'm just going to lie here for a moment and collect my thoughts.

    Daniel Bateman: Work shit out, right?

  • Shane Falco: Red. Means Stop.

  • Jimmy McGinty: Hell of a game, that Sugar Bowl. What'd you lose that by, forty points?

    Shane Falco: That would be forty-five.

    Jimmy McGinty: Sometimes a game like that really sticks with you. You never shake it off.

    Shane Falco: Got three concussions to prove it.

    Jimmy McGinty: [chuckling] That's why girls don't play the game.

  • Annabelle Farrell: [while Annabelle's driving Falco home recklessly. Falco is slightly distracted by this] So why were you staying in the pocket in practice today? Normally, I wouldn't comment to a quarterback about his style, but you need to keep scrambling against Detroit, especially with Prescott back in the lineup.

    Shane Falco: Prescott hasn't crossed.

    Annabelle Farrell: He's going to on Sunday. They're keeping it quiet so you don't have time to prepare.

    Shane Falco: How do you know that?

    Annabelle Farrell: One of my friend's a cheerleader for Detroit, she tipped me off. Since Prescott's a left-sided linebacker; shotgun formation and roll right.

    Shane Falco: Van Gundy's on the right.

    Annabelle Farrell: I know, he's been All-Pro two years in a row. But, one of my cheerleaders is friends with a girl whose sister just broke up with Van Gundy, said he's been on a drinking binge ever since she left him.

    Shane Falco: Yeah?

    Annabelle Farrell: He's hung over! A good second slower off the snap than usual.

    Shane Falco: So I should stick to the right side.

    Annabelle Farrell: Unless what they say about Martinez is true.

  • Jimmy McGinty: Falco, it's nasty out there.

    Shane Falco: That's why girls don't play the game, coach.

  • [discussing fears]

    Shane Falco: Quicksand

    Clifford Franklin: Aw, shit yeah. Quicksand's a scary motha, man. I mean, first of all, it suck you right in, and even if you scream, you get all that muck in your mouth...

  • Shane Falco: Gentlemen. It's been an honor to share the field of battle with you.

  • Daniel Bateman: Hey!

    Shane Falco: Danny! Remember what I said about red shirts in practice?

    Daniel Bateman: Yeah.

    Shane Falco: Forget about it!

    Daniel Bateman: Ok.

    Shane Falco: Martel!

    [Falco punches Martel. Then Danny tackles Martel]

  • Jimmy McGinty: Falco! If I had wanted Cochran to have the ball I would've called it that way!

    Shane Falco: I read blitz.

    Jimmy McGinty: Bullshit! I put the game in your hands... you got scared.

    Shane Falco: I READ BLITZ.

    Jimmy McGinty: [walks over and looks at Falco with disgust] Winners always want the ball... when the game is on the line.
