Invincible

(I GOT A NAME B Y JIM CROCE PLA YIN G)

Go, Green! -Boo!

Come on, Eagles! You're killing me. Show some pride out there.

Some pride? What are you talking about?

These guys lost their pride two months ago.

What're you doing? Over!

-They're still our boys, Tommy. -Not this year, pally.

Not in this town. Not in this town!

Stupid... You stink!

Come on! Come on! Come on!

Ball down.

Hey, way to pack it in, Eagles! You're quitters!

31-0 to a team should've been worse than us!

What a bunch of losers!

Hey! Hey! Where do you think you's going, huh?

Game's not over yet.

Get back down to your seats, there.

Believe this?

McCormack.

You know what NFL stands for? "Not for long," pal. "Not for long."

See you on the unemployment line.

Hey, coach! Thanks for the three wins! You're a bum!

A reminder, Eagles fans,

to place your orders for next year's season tickets.

Come on!

Maybe next year, yeah?

Yeah.

Maybe we'll all be millionaires.

Way to finish, guys. Waited a whole season for this.

The worst team in the league! Losers!

Go! Go!

Watch it. Watch out. Go! Go! Go!

Watch out!

-Jeez, Pete. -Hey, ref, you better make that call.

You all right?

Hey!

That's enough!

-I said, come on! -Come on.

Pete! -Yeah!

-Come on. -You!

I'm gonna kill that guy.

Why don't you try getting by him first, Pete?

Why don't you shut your mouth?

-Huddle up! -Come on!

Hey, get in the huddle.

Look who decided to show.

Let's go. Huddle up! Huddle up!

-Vincent! Yo, wait a minute.

No way! Not him. You don't show on time, you don't play!

What's the matter, cuz?

Afraid he's gonna run all over you again?

Would you shut up? Let's play some football.

What's up?

-About time you got here. -Sorry, guys.

All right, let's do the one where Vince kind of runs by everybody on one.

-Ready? Here we go.

Break!

Ready? Break!

-Wanna tell me why you're late? -My car's in a bad mood.

-Watch the middle. -Set!

-Hut! -Go! Go!

Here we go! Here we go!

Here we go. Get him! Get him!

Good hit. Yeah! Good hit.

-You okay? -Yeah, I'm good.

(LET IT RIDE B Y BACHMAN-TURNER O VERDRIVE PLA YIN G)

Set! Hut!

Fumble, fumble, fumble!

(LAUGHING ) I got it! I got it! Yeah!

Break! Break!

-I got one! I got one! I got one! -You ain't got nothing.

Set! Hut!

Look out, Matt! Come on, look out!

Hut!

Go, go!

Move it! Move! Move!

Ball! Ball! Ball!

I got it! I got it!

-You all right? -I'm all right.

-Nice save, Vince. -Thanks, man.

Game over!

Oh, man, my car!

Oh, yeah, huh?

Pete!

Right there, huh? Remember that? Come on!

-Pete, come on, cut it out. -Did you see that?

-We won. -Come on, let's go.

-You got money? -Yeah.

You better have money.

Yeah!

You look cold. Come a little closer.

Hey.

Come on, it was only for a few plays.

That's great, Vince.

We're out of work and you're playing games.

It's not like you couldn't use the time for anything else, right?

-Look, we're not out of work. -Please.

The school's giving you, what, two days a week substitute teaching?

You tend bar at night.

What do you call that? Gainfully employed?

What do you want me to do?

Look, things are gonna get better, all right? I promise.

When, Vince? When are things gonna get better?

-Hi, Mr. Papale. -Hi.

So, the assignment was first act, Romeo and Juliet.

Oh, Mr. Papale. May I help you?

I'm sorry. Must be a mistake. I thought this was my class.

Hey, Mr. Papale.

Hey, guys.

Mr. Papale. Can I have a word with you, please?

We were trying to call you.

Well, there was a mix-up with the bill and they shut my phone off,

but it should be back on today.

We were calling you to let you know that you won't be needed this summer.

The district is forcing us to make more cutbacks.

And we have a lot of teachers with more seniority than you.

I'm sorry.

I know it's a hell of a deal.

Well, it's no secret to anybody here

that it's been a rough stretch for the Eagles organization.

The last few seasons haven't lived up to my expectations

or to the expectations of the many fans of this great team.

But, gentlemen, today, that is going to change.

The man who's gonna bring us back recently led UCLA

to a Rose Bowl win over Ohio State.

Please welcome Mr. Dick Vermeil.

Thank you, Mr. Tose. Thank you.

Well, I'd like to start by saying what a tremendous honor it is

to coach this particular football team...

-Think he brought his surfboard? - ...and to coach in this city.

-Surfboard, Beach Boy records. - The Philadelphia Eagles

have a very long and proud tradition of winning and excellence.

It's a tradition that's been lost in recent years.

It's a tradition that I'm committed to restoring.

Man should be committed for taking this job.

(ROCK MUSIC PLA YIN G ON JUKEBO x)

Hey, Mick, you mean to tell me

you didn't see that guy clothesline Pete?

I didn't see nothing.

I saw it from the car.

Hey, that team had you guys beat by a mile on that play.

Oh, yeah? Then why aren't you drinking over there?

-Go to their bar, traitor. -You want that on your tab?

Hey, put a leash on that monkey.

Vince, why does he get to run a tab, I don't?

Because he's got a job, that's why.

That's great, Max. Yeah, that's a great way to treat a friend.

Hey, Max. Any chance I could pick up a few more hours?

-Sure. Why? First up, let's bring in

Wade Chambers of Channel 11 Sports.

Well, the Eagles took their time on this one.

But for the first time...

I'm giving my cousin from New York a few hours starting Thursday.

-You can have the rest if you want. -Thanks. Appreciate it.

Owner Leonard Tose announced the hiring of UCLA 's Dick Vermeil

- as the Eagles' head coach. -Hey, Grumpy.

You wanna turn up the tube?

...wasted no time before making this surprising announcement.

Before I take your questions, I'd like to make a quick announcement.

This coming Saturday, at Veterans Stadium at 9:00 a.m.,

the Philadelphia Eagles will hold open tryouts.

- We're open to all comers. -It's open.

-This guy's out of his mind. - So we can go ahead

- and start with the questions now. - There you have it, Eagle fans.

So strap on your helmets. Throw on those shoulder pads.

Here's your chance to play in the NFL.

I guess four wins wasn't so bad after all.

-Yo, Vince. What do you say? -What?

You're faster than half those guys anyway.

Hey, come on. Give it a shot.

Yeah, Vince.

Papale at the 40.

At the 30. The 20.

He's at the 10.

Sharon!

Sharon!
