| Quotes |
JJ Pryor:
Kennedy says it's time for new dreams, and new frontiers, not just the ones of our fathers. Jack Pryor: President Kennedy who both went to college... JJ Pryor: I know! Jack Pryor: ...and loves football. JJ Pryor: I know! Jack Pryor: And you are going to... JJ Pryor: No I'm not! Jack Pryor: Will you let me finish a damn sentence? JJ, you have a chance to be something great. A tailback, an astronaut, or whatever the hell, but great! Now I know going to Notre Dame won't guarantee you anything, but it'll give you the best chance anyone could ask for. And I'm not going to stand by and let you piss away that chance. I just won't. JJ Pryor: Maybe it's not up to you. See more » |
