- Coach Bill McGregor: Come on, Riggins! You have this half-ass, candy-ass, lame-ass, whiskey-breath, dirty-hair attitude! You're gonna wake up in the morning; you're gonna find your career gone! Gone, like a memory, like a postcard, like a bad dream, like a level fair, like a night train! Get those knees up in the air and get that tire up and wear it like a crown! Praise the game of football! That's what I want to see! Show me something! Show me something! That's it! Yeah! You're in it now!
- [Riggins drops the tire and passes out]
- Coach Bill McGregor: Get up, Riggins!
