(all) [ If you need affection [ [ Look in my direction [ [ What's the use of staying apart? [[ l'm Danny Diamond of Diamond Management.
l am The Bells' new personal manager.
lf l catch even a glimpse of you two guys again you'll be taking your meals through a tube.
Shake them down.
Drop your guns and drop your pants.
[gun firing] (Hannibal) Zeke Westerland, billionaire.
An eccentric madman.
These girls will never perform again.
You and your brother are coming with us.
They kidnapped me.
Billy! Billy, are you all right? Kill those suckers! We did this for you, baby! (male narrator) In 1972, a crack commando unit was sent to prison by a military court for a crime they didn't commit.
These men promptly escaped from a maximum-security stockade to the Los Angeles underground.
Today, still wanted by the government they survive as soldiers of fortune.
If you have a problem, if no one else can help and if you can find them maybe you can hire the A-Team.
[gun firing] [birds chirping] (man) Set.
Hut! [whistle blowing] (Face) All right, offense, over here.
All right, Miller now look, that's a brush block.
Now, don't nail the defensive end.
You got it? Just drift out to the left flat, okay? Now, the pulling guard and the right halfback are gonna sweep right.
Billy Rey'll pump once to the right and then fire right back at you.
Got that? See, this play, it depends on deception.
Faceman like deception plays.
Only deception plays don't work on my defense.
A man can't deceive you if he's sitting on his butt.
All right? Break! All right.
(all) Hey! These boys are never gonna beat a triple-A school like Banning High.
Yes, yes, l think Face has gotten in over his head.
(Murdock) He really has.
Still there is always the power of prayer.
Always.
[exclaiming] [whistle blowing] Get off of him! (Face) All right, that does it.
This is a scrimmage, Baracus.
A scrimmage! A scrimmage is a time to try and work out timing.
lt is considered advisable, if in a scrimmage you don't kill your own quarterback! Your men should be wearing dresses, Faceman.
You don't destroy your only offensive weapon two days before the game! My guys eat offenses, Face.
We came to play, man.
All right all right, he wants power football we'll give him power football.
You know, Hannibal well, if you just look down there at the Baracan One firing up those little buggers he is turning boys into men.
He is molding futures.
And l, for one, am beginning to see him in another light.
Because what l am seeing down there on that field l have never seen before.
l am seeing real human courage.
l am seeing a molder of men.
Knute Rockne.
Knute Rockne, Vince Lombardi.
These were true leaders.
Unlike the leaders that l've been exposed to.
[whistle blowing] Well, leaders do come in many colors many shades, and many lights.
But, B.
A.
-- No, no.
Ba.
Ba? Ba is a true leader.
He is a man who can inspire other men.
He can infuse into these boys a noble purpose.
Kill those suckers! l mean, the man is simply taking care of business.
You see? l mean, do you see what l'm saying? He's become a hero to you.
ls that it, Murdock? No, not a hero, Colonel the hero.
That's terrific, B.
A.
, terrific.
l'm not gonna have anybody left over here.
[laughing] Practice is over.
Put the transmitter on Billy Rey's car.
l remember when you were playing here, Templeton.
You were so graceful, so heroic.
[sighs] Yes.
l was, wasn't l? We know you won't let us down, Temp.
Don't you worry about Banning, Sister Catherine.
The bigger they are, the harder they fall.
The bigger they are, the harder they hit.
Coach.
Excuse me, can l see you for a moment? Yeah, sure, Billy.
Excuse me, Sister.
Did you know that you inspire men? You are a natural leader.
And l.
l stand in awe of the Baracan One.
l got no time for the jibber-jabber.
''Got no time for the jibber-jabber.
'' ''Got no time for the jibber-jabber.
'' ''Got no time for the jibber-jabber.
'' Murdock.
''Got no time for jibber-jabber.
'' lt's got poetic meter.
lt's iambic pentameter.
My gosh, the man speaks in verse! What's this fool talking about now? Now, Pablo is a very important agent.
He's gonna get me a job in Dino's new horror film.
Now, you guys get in the van and l'm gonna get Face.
l will follow you, Ba.
Anyway, Coach, l'm sorry but l just can't.
And l can't tell you why.
lt's personal.
l'm sorry.
No, wait, wait, wait.
Wait, Billy.
Face.
l got a real important dinner at the Polo Lounge.
What's the matter? My star quarterback.
He just said he can't play on Saturday.
What do you mean, he can't play on Saturday? l don't know.
He wouldn't tell me.
But if he doesn't play, we'll get buried.
[birds chirping] [car engine starting] (Hannibal) Face, take a little firepower and cover us.
l don't know why, but l got a bad feeling about this.
Murdock, B.
A.
, you got the street.
Right.
Four guys in a van.
Yeah, send a couple more guys over.
We're at B.
A.
, Murdock, black sedan, half a block up.
Got them.
Billy.
Thank God you're okay.
Charlotte, you can't stay here.
You gotta go somewhere where they can't get to you.
All of us have agreed we're not gonna work for Dave.
lt's over.
l gotta get you out of here.
Where's the others? They're coming tonight, by car, from Las Vegas.
Let's go.
Thanks, Mrs.
Fuller.
Thanks for letting us meet here.
Okay, Hannibal, what do you want to do? lf we're gonna find out what's going on, we gotta hang back.
Face have you got a good cover fire position? Yeah, l can see most of the street from here.
Good.
Hold that spot.
Everybody else, close in and stay out of sight.
Stay sharp.
Safeties off.
Hey, man, that's like Charlotte King.
The lead singer with The Bells? (Ryack) Miss King.
You and your brother are coming with us.
You work for Dave, don't you? Get in the car, sister.
All right, they're armed.
Now's the time.
Billy, you and your sister, get in the van.
[tires screeching] [panting] l hate this, Hannibal.
Who are they? They're my football coaches.
l think you may need more than a coach, Miss King.
Allow me to introduce myself.
l'm Hannibal Smith.
This is the A-Team.
The A-Team? ls that right, Coach? Yeah, that's right, Billy.
That's hot, man.
Now, perhaps you'd be kind enough to let us know what's going on, Miss King.
[car horn honks] Where's Charlotte, and why did she say to come here? You're in trouble, lady, and we're here to help.
Allow me to introduce myself.
l'm Templeton Peck.
l've seen you girls in concert.
You're the other singers with The Bells.
Hannibal, open up! [garage door opening] B.
A.
, sweep it.
(Jennifer) What are you doing? (Hannibal) Oh, we're just taking a little precaution.
Charlotte said you were having some trouble with a record company and trouble provides our main source of employment.
Hey, Hannibal, we found another one.
All right, everybody out of the car.
Right away.
Okay, Murdock, you and B.
A.
take this thing dump it somewhere and get back here fast.
Wait a minute.
You mean, somebody was trying to follow us all the way down from Las Vegas? Face, you have the watch.
Let's go.
lnside, please.
(all) Charlotte.
(Charlotte) Hi! You okay? Are you all right? Yeah.
l'm fine.
You sure? My name is Hannibal Smith.
l'm the leader of the A-Team.
You ladies may want our help, you may not.
lt's up to you.
Luna's guys followed me to Charlotte.
They tried to kidnap her.
(Billy) They had one of those tailing devices on my car.
How much did you tell him? She told me that you signed with a company called Lunar Records and when your contract expired and you refused to resign they began making threats.
Lunar Records takes 90% of everything we make.
lt's like a slave contract.
[thudding] We dumped it four blocks away.
lt's all clear.
(Hannibal) Well, you ladies have an interesting problem.
lf you want a little help, we'll give it the weekend but you'd have to lay low and stay out of sight.
We promised to sing at a benefit for a children's hospital here in L.
A.
lt's a charity we've supported for years.
Dave Luna's mad because he doesn't get any money from it.
Yeah, he told us not to go.
We got into a big fight about it last night.
He said if we tried to show up, we'd regret it.
Well, now, that's intriguing.
Where is it? At the Greek Theater.
Sunday night.
Forget it.
We can't cover them there.
They're gonna have to cancel.
lt's for the kids.
You heard what he said.
Why don't you get some guts and learn to take a stand? l mean, what are you, a man or a mousette? Terrific.
l really love this, Murdock.
Do you ladies want us to take a run at those guys for you? Yeah.
l guess we don't have much choice.
We'll make the dollar arrangements later.
So what's your name? Templeton Peck.
Yeah.
And that's B.
A.
Hi.
Hi, l'm Jennifer Kim.
(Murdock) Hi.
As soon as l find out who l am, you'll be the first to know, Jenny.
Does Dave Luna have a place he hangs out around here in L.
A.
? Only his record company over on Sunset.
He has an apartment on the roof.
We'll start there.
(Charlotte) What are you gonna do? Well, l think you girls need a personal manager.
Someone with vision.
Someone who can see into the future and guide your careers with style and wisdom.
Namely me, Danny Diamond.
Personal manager to the stars.
[chuckling] (Luna) So you got run off by a bunch of meat patties.
l don't believe what l'm hearing here.
Look, Mr.
Luna, they jumped us.
They had automatic weapons.
We weren't ready for that.
What about the rest of the group? You followed them down from Vegas, right, with the tracking meters? So where are they? John was about five miles behind them, and then they ditched the car.
And then we sat on it all night and they didn't come back.
So we lost the whole damn group.
l got a band downstairs in Studio 6.
They happen to be laying down tracks for a new album.
l got a pressing company climbing up my neck [intercom buzzing] and we got release schedules, and you lose the whole group? Yes, Grace, what is it? (Grace) It's Mel in Studio 6.
There's some guy down there who says he's the new personal manager for The Bells.
He is, huh? Thank you, Grace.
Maybe you want to collect a few of yesterday's losses.
Why don't you get your friends out of the coffee room and check this guy out? l don't like this one.
Or this one.
Or this one.
''Doo-aahs?'' Lonnie, would you believe they're going to have The Bells sing: ''Do-aah-doo-ditty-ditty-do.
'' Preposterous.
This is a private studio.
Get lost.
All right, who do you guys think you are? l'm Danny Diamond of Diamond Management.
l am The Bells' new personal manager.
Lonnie, show this carnivorous *** our contract.
Well, we have been commissioned by The Bells to act on their behalf.
You will see that these documents have been notarized and executed consistent with the legal procedures of the State of California.
l've taken the liberty of making copies for you assuming you are Dave Luna.
Note that this gives us full power of attorney over all decisions concerning The Bells.
lncluding, but not restricted to, the selection of songs wardrobe, publicity, ad infinitum and et cetera, and so forth.
And not a moment too soon, l might add.
Obviously you guys have something to do with what happened yesterday so l'm gonna tell you this only once.
Get out and stay out.
And if l catch even a glimpse of you two guys again you'll be taking your meals through a tube.
You're going to have to have better help than you had yesterday.
Let me give you the rest of the bad news.
All of the profits from The Bells' golden records from the years 1980 to 1984 will be deposited into a Diamond Management account for redistribution.
And when is all this supposed to happen? Oh, l don't know.
Lonnie, what time is it now? Well, l don't want to be pushy about this so let's say that this agreement goes into full effect at 9:27.
That will give you about 40 seconds to get the spit off your chin and stop breathing through your mouth.
You got a real case of the cutes, Jack.
Well, in the immortal words of Ricky Nelson: ''You can't please everyone, so you've got to please yourself.
'' We can be reached at this number, if there are any questions.
This is a high pressure business, Mr.
Diamond and my associates are about to show you what happens to the losers.
[guns cocking] Shake them down.
[gun fires] (Hannibal) Drop 'em, boys or Luna's dead.
A high pressure industry.
No doubt about it.
But, as we say at Diamond Management: ''Pressure makes diamonds.
'' You're 0-for-2, Luna.
Next time, we'll put you in the obituary column.
l thought that went very well, don't you, Face? ''Pressure makes diamonds.
'' Where did that come from? Creative impulse.
Well, just don't be on the jazz.
[chuckles] We're not out of this place yet.
(man) Stop those guys! Thanks, Face.
l didn't know you cared.
Yeah well, it must be the cologne you're wearing.
(Hannibal) Put it on the air, Face.
(Face) B.
A.
, Murdock we caused a little trouble in here.
You better come and get us in a hurry.
What do you say, Murdock? l say a lot of things l don't mean.
[tires screeching] Nice, huh, Face? l don't believe what l'm seeing here.
Who are those guys? Well, the only things l like about this case, so far, are the clients.
You're right, Faceman.
They look great.
They sing great, but they look great.
Yeah, man.
Oh, now, come on, guys.
You all know the rule about clients.
Yeah, it seems to me there was some kind of silly rule about clients.
What was that? Oh, yeah.
Be sure to save all expense vouchers.
Wasn't that it, Hannibal? We never mess around with our clients.
lt muddies the atmosphere.
lt distorts our thinking.
lt is dangerous.
That rule.
Hannibal's right.
We can't mess with these ladies.
Come on, guys, rules are made to be broken.
Noses are also made to be broken, right, Face? Right.
Yeah, well, you can count on me, Hannibal.
lt's us.
(Charlotte) Just a second.
l don't have anything on.
Steady, Face.
l'm trying, Hannibal, l'm trying.
[birds chirping] l was just in the shower.
l knew there was a good reason for it.
Where are the others? Out by the pool.
Ladies.
Let me just go throw something on.
Oh, yeah, right.
Sure, okay, right.
Throw something on.
See, a trick l've found in sexually stressful situations is to focus your mind on something of a completely different nature.
Take that Road and Track magazine and look at those cars.
Take the eggs out of the refrigerator and practice juggling.
Now, well, that's easy for you to say, Murdock.
Your mind doesn't focus.
Me, l'm in agony.
(Hannibal) Okay, B.
A.
, you better hook up the strap line to the other apartment.
l'll be out in the.
l'm gonna check out the patio.
Right.
Where are you off to? Got some business to take care of.
Anything l can help you with? Well, l could use some.
Don't need no help.
l'll come.
Can l? Can l? l like to watch the big guy work.
(Marcia) Did you talk to Dave Luna? (Hannibal) We got the ball rolling.
But we've got to find out who the big money player is in this deal.
l've got a feeling Dave Luna is only a front.
What makes you think that? A hunch.
Those guys yesterday were walking on their knuckles.
They weren't top flight muscle.
Either way, we'll find out soon.
The phone number l gave them is traceable and it leads to this apartment.
l've taken another apartment down the hall with a good view of the parking lot.
And we're gonna put some stuff around here, just for the fun of it.
Listen, if you girls have any questions at all about anything that we're doing here please, feel free to ask.
l'm the A-Team information officer.
l guess you know how grateful we all are.
lt's been awful having to work for Dave.
Would you happen to have any eggs in your refrigerator? You hungry? He wants to practice his juggling.
Baracus is moving to the center of the carpet and he's putting his satchel down.
Chris, can he pull this one off? Well, Baracus has been magnificent up to here.
He's never cracked under pressure.
He's steady, he's smooth and that's what the fans have come to expect from B.
A.
Baracus.
Why are you doing this, man? Why you gotta jibber-jabber all the time filling my ears with this nonsense? Well, l just want you to know that l think that you are one stupendous, mud-sucking wonder.
You are a man that somebody can admire and l look up to your goodness.
l do the best l can.
And l try real hard to do what's right.
l'm on your wavelength and l'm picking up your signal.
l try to make sense.
You are the greatest.
You're okay, too, Murdock.
[laughing] You and me, l'm telling you, we can change history.
You have but to command.
No job is too difficult.
Why don't you close that curtain? You got it.
l'll close the curtain.
You got those curtains closed, brother.
[mumbling] [sighing] George and Howard, take the back of the apartment come in through the patio doors.
Right.
Larry, you cover the street.
l'm going in hard and fast.
Let's roll.
[gun firing] (Hannibal) Now this is more like it.
These guys got some style.
Of course the guy on the right's a little too close in, but not bad.
They hit all the closets.
Nice efficient little raiding party.
(Twill) See if you can find anything written down that'll tell us where they are.
These guys are gonna be a lot more fun.
He's on the jazz.
Better start tracking them.
Face, you better move out.
You, too, B.
A.
Right.
Right.
Whoever you are congratulations.
You guys look combat-trained.
Why don't you take your unit and fall back? You guys are tangling with somebody much bigger than you suspect.
Life is full of risks.
Even good pizza can give you indigestion.
I found a TV camera behind the vent.
(Twill) Nice talking to you.
Keep a helmet on.
[gun firing] Okay, stay inside.
Keep the door locked.
Come on, Murdock.
(Twill) Larry, hang back and stay on this apartment.
Okay, l'm turning off.
Face, you pick him up at Olympic.
Roger.
All right, l'll make a right up here on Fifth.
Murdock, you get on him two blocks up.
That's an A-Okay and a Roger-Dodger.
Stay back, Murdock.
He's no pushover.
Hannibal, this guy is getting a little hinky.
l think l'm gonna need a little help-ola here.
Okay.
Take a right.
l'm on him.
[knocking on door] What are you doing? Hannibal said not to come over here.
You're supposed to stay with the others.
l was worried about you.
l had to see you.
You all take care of the problem, Harry? No, sir, it was *** trapped.
Well, l didn't come all the way from Las Vegas in the middle of the night just to shuck peanuts in the back of this car, boy.
l got things to do tomorrow.
l got an airline board meeting l got my oil people coming in from Texarkana.
These guys are good.
We're just gonna need some more time.
l don't have no time.
[gun cocking] Then why don't we settle things? [gun cocking] [gun cocking] (Hannibal) Right now.
All right, drop your guns and drop your pants.
(Murdock) Down! Allow me to introduce myself, sir.
lt's not necessary.
l read Fortune magazine.
Zeke Westerland, peanut-eating billionaire.
A recluse, an eccentric madman the baron of the business world.
What's a big shot like you doing terrorizing these four little orphan girls? Might l invite you to join me in the car, sir? Being l got a proposition for you and l hate like blazes to shout it out through a half-open window.
All right.
Seems to me l seen your picture a time or two, only it weren't in Fortune.
No, seems to me l seen it on the wall somewhere.
ln my post office, l do believe.
Yeah.
lt's such a good picture the Governor seems to want to hang it everywhere.
So you are the A-Team? Yes, sir.
No wonder my friends was having trouble corralling you.
Well, well, well.
That do change this a mite.
Yes, it do.
Might be we gotta sing a little different tune now.
You don't by any chance happen to know Chicken in a Breadbox, do you? You know, you'd do better, son if you didn't take such an offhand approach with me.
l do have my limits.
Then why don't we cut the down-home wisdom and get to business? Well, l just want to make sure that The Bells remain the exclusive property of Lunar Records in that, l am 100% silent owner of that company.
By the way, l understand that you've acquired power of attorney for The Bells.
l just happened to be in the right place at the right time.
Let's say l was to be willing to take you off the table for a goodly sum, that is.
l'm not for sale.
Well, son, everybody is for sale.
lt's just the price that's in question.
Forget it.
l was thinking in the neighborhood of $1 million.
Cash.
Oh! You see, we all carry a price in our heads don't we, Mr.
Smith? You're worth billions.
What do you care about this little singing group? What possible difference can it make to you? Well, sir, the way l got to be worth all this money is l never let anybody take nothing away from me.
l am a collector, sir.
And l always win, no matter the obstacle.
Do we have a bargain? One of the really interesting aspects of being a fugitive is that there are so few things you can spend money on.
Now, if l were a crook like you and l wanted a million of your dollars, Mr.
Westerland l'd sit down and figure out how to rip off one of your banks and l'd have the money by nightfall.
Then let me make you a promise, sir.
These girls will never perform again.
l believe they're scheduled for the Greek Theater tomorrow night.
That engagement will not take place.
Sure, it will.
We have challenged each other, sir.
lt only remains now to see who wins.
Now, l do have other appointments.
lf you'll excuse me.
Am l missing something here, Zeke? Seems to me l'm the one holding the gun.
Oh? Well, what're you gonna do, Mr.
Smith? Kill me? Kidnap me? Oh, l don't think so.
Get out of the car, Zeke.
Really, sir.
Face.
What you doing? l suspect most of your life you've had your own way, Mr.
Westerland.
So l've arranged for you to experience a lesson in humility.
What is this? Have you ever had the blues, Mr.
Westerland? No, l thought not.
[spray can hissing] See you around.
Why blue? 'Cause they were out of green paint.
You know what l'm saying.
Guys like Westerland never do their own dirty work.
l wanted him to get so mad he'd get involved in this one personally so when the net drops, he'll be in it with the others.
That man severely underestimates me.
We'll take care of him, sir.
No, sir.
l'll take care of him.
Personally.
[[[band playing pop music] [ No one you see gonna please you like me [ [ No love you find gonna thrill you like mine [ [ Guess you can tell I could love you so well [ [ Still you try to be cool [ [ Baby, don't be a fool [ [[[vocalizing] [ If you need someone for more than a friend [ [ Call me up and come in [ (all) [ It's time to start [ [ If you need affection [ [ Look in my direction [ [ What's the use of staying apart? [ [ You know how much I need you [ [ Let your body lead you [ [ Right straight into my heart [ [ The harder you try it seems the less you get by [ [ Your peace of mind it's so easy to find [ [ I know that you've got to be lonely, too [ [ Still you're trying to run [ [ Boy, you're missing some fun [ [[[vocalizing] [ If you need someone to bring you around [ Hannibal, let me see them.
You got something? Yeah, l definitely have something worth looking at here.
You know, Face, l thought they were gonna keep us from getting the girls to the theater.
Now that they're here, they can stay backstage till the performance tonight.
There's almost nothing Westerland can do to keep them from going on.
We can get cops for snipers.
You think we've been had? l think something's going on.
l wish l knew what it was.
(all) [ You know how much I need you [ [ Let your body lead you [ [ Right straight into my heart [[ [ Staying apart [ Miss King, there's a telephone call for you over there.
Okay.
[ You know how much l need you [[ Yeah? Miss King, l have your brother here with me.
Would you care to talk with him? You have my brother? Charlotte, they kidnapped me.
Billy! Billy, are you all right? Charlotte-- l know you're in rehearsal, but maybe we could squeeze in a few minutes to work over our new five-year contract.
Oh, don't worry about Billy.
He'll be all right.
All you have to do is just cooperate.
Zeke, you stooped lower than l thought.
Son, l'm so low l can walk under a swamp alligator with my hat on.
Now, lest you get me wrong, l sacrifice this boy if things don't go my way.
The Bells re-sign with Lunar Records and you nullify your contract with them.
Just when is all this supposed to happen? Griffith Park, 6:30 tonight.
We'll bring Billy, you bring The Bells.
Just come alone with them.
Like l said, l sacrifice this boy if you mess up.
I'm disappointed in you, Smith.
l thought sure you'd make a more entertaining opponent.
[crying] l went to see Billy.
l'm sorry.
l was worried.
They must've followed me.
l'm sorry.
l ruined everything.
We have to do what he wants.
What about tonight? Should we call and try and cancel? No.
You girls get into makeup.
l'll have Billy back before the curtain goes up.
How? How are you gonna do it? l'll think of a way.
You girls go on.
(Hannibal) Now, the first problem is to find out where they are.
Then we change their timetable.
That's no problem, man.
While you was in the car last night talking to Westerland l stuck the old bug, the one we took off Billy's car and put it in the glove compartment and set it at 256 megahertz.
All right, B.
A.
Let me get this straight.
Are you telling me that the big guy looked into the future as it were, saw that Hannibal was gonna fumble the pass, and said to himself: ''Self, you better know where this country bumpkin is going'' and then planted the bug? l'm telling you, the man can see into the future.
He is my hero, Ba, the Baracan God.
Come on, Murdock, will you knock it off? l don't know why you guys are always picking on Murdock.
He ain't so bad.
Huh? The man is a little weird, okay.
But he got some good ideas.
So leave him be.
Say, are we a groovy, happening bunch of guys or what? [buzzing] Well, this is it, huh, B.
A.
? Right, Hannibal.
Okay, these guys don't know we're coming.
Murdock, go with B.
A.
Scout around.
See what you can find.
Let me know.
Ba.
Right.
They'll be leaving for Griffith Park any minute.
Face, see if you can find a good fire spot over there, on the east side.
Got you.
Got to deliver a letter here for you.
Oh, thanks.
You got to sign for it.
Look, Pops, l'm in a hurry.
Yeah, well, that's the trouble with people nowadays.
They're rushing here, rushing there.
Now, you just sign this and l won't have to come trudging back here.
All right.
B.
A.
, he's headed your way.
All right, handsome, come on, squeeze out of there.
Well am l entertaining enough for you now? l could make it worth your while, Smith.
You already have.
(Billy) Red 61 .
Set.
Hut! [people cheering] (Face) lt's all right, Billy.
lt's all right.
Hang in there.
Be tough! All right.
Tell your guys to block, man.
Your guys ain't hitting nothing.
This l get from a man whose defense allowed 46 points in the last three quarters? With all the flakes we meet, it's really nice to finally meet some real (both) men.
l like Faceman.
l think he is so cute.
B.
A.
He's so strong and silent.
And Hannibal.
He holds them all together, girls.
And Murdock.
He's hot.
l mean really hot.
l get the feeling all of these guys look really interested.
(Charlotte) But Hannibal won't let them come on to us.
l mean, what are we, chopped liver? l don't know, Hannibal.
l mean, Vince Lombardi, Knute Rockne would've had some words of inspiration for his players at halftime.
But Ba didn't say anything.
Ba just glared at them.
lt was 1928.
Notre Dame was down and almost out and Knute Rockne gathered everybody together in that locker room and told them the story of Frank Gipp.
Do you know the story of Frank Gipp? Murdock, everybody knows that story.
Now, the case is over and l want to go date those girls.
What do you say, Captain? Yeah, yeah.
But the Rock gathered everybody together and he told them how the Gipper played the entire game with pneumonia and how the Gipp died on the field.
And then he said: ''Whenever Notre Dame's down, and you really need a win'' Please, Murdock.
''you just gather the boys together and you tell them: ''Win one for the Gipper.
'' Well, l've seen enough of this game and l am going to win one for the Gipper.
l got it.
[whistle blowing] l got it, l got it.
l'm gonna win one for the Gipper.
Hut! l'm gonna win one for you, Gipp! [people shouting] [whistle blowing] We did this for you, baby! [people booing] What you doing, fool? You.
l thought you was a coach.
l thought you had something.
l thought you could mold men.
But you didn't even tell them the story of the Gipper.
You didn't even call them a bunch of girls.
You just stood there like a played-out goldmine, reflecting light and looking stupid.
Get off the field! Sure, sure.
You're gonna throw the only guy who scored a touchdown off the field, right? What'd l tell you, sucker? Get off the field! You ain't no hero.
You're just one big, mean, angry mud-sucker! Shut up, fool.
