The Express (2008) Soundboard Edit

A little.

After the play was whistled dead.

Ain't but one thing to do here.

All of us, we might not get back on that bus in one piece.

All right, all right.

All right, defense. What do you do when you see this?

All right, so you've got everybody and their dog

All right! Let's go!

All right.

And all Jim hears is, Don't be like Avatus Stone.

And compared to some, that doesn't seem like a whole lot of life to talk about.

And could you bring us some of those deviled eggs?

And his grace which was bestowed upon me was not in vain.

And say, I know him. I went to school with him.

And Syracuse takes over

And that's why winning this one

And the ball is loose, recovered by the Orangemen

And the Cotton Bowl.

And they've been licking their chops waiting for us ever since.

And you will do what I tell you, when I tell you to do it.

And you? What are you studying?

ANNOUNCER 1: And in college football, the Syracuse Orangemen

ANNOUNCER 1: Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome to the field

ANNOUNCER 2: Fans, I wish all of you could be here

ANNOUNCER: An incredibly enthusiastic crowd on hand

ANNOUNCER: First down, 10 yards to go from the 13.

ANNOUNCER: My, that's a cheap shot.

Anybody else? Maybe someone who isn't hurt or lazy?

Anything else?

Appears to be either exhausted or hurt.

Back to the huddle, Lundy.

Back! Everybody, back! Back! Back! Back!

Baking lasagna, and writing songs for his church choir.

Because there won't be another Ernie Davis.

Ben Schwartzwalder and his mighty Orangemen of Syracuse,

BEN: All right, everyone, listen up.

BEN: Get him out there!

BEN: Get out there. Let's go!

BEN: Good run! Good run!

BEN: Hey, Ernie.

BEN: What kind of pig slop is that?

Blue 3 21!

Brokaw, get in there!

BROWN: I want you to go out. Keep going. Back. Back. All right.

BROWN: It's all chrome inside there. Feel that.

But football Is just a game.

But I labored more abundantly than they all,

But that's away from our strength.

But you know what, so are they.

By All American tackier Jack Buckley

Bye, Ernie.

Can we get off these tracks?

CBS ANNOUNCER: There's an electricity in the air today in Dallas.

Coach Ben Schwartzwalder and his top ranked team find themselves

Coach, Davis.

Come on, boys! Let's go!

Come on, son. Let's go. For me?

Come on! Get up! Move! Move! Move! Move!

Come on! Like a big, old elephant walrus!

Congratulations.

Coon lover!

CROWD: Two, four, six, eight!

Davis, Buckley, Baker, you stay in the middle of the pack.

Daw's to the Kansas secondary.

Do you know why I'm here?

Don't ever make me look bad again.

Don't give this one away.

Don't know. Never count.

Ernie, Ernie!

Ernie, I was in town and I wanted to get a chance to meet you.

Ernie, if you get the ball, go all the way.

ERNIE: Coach wanted to see me?

Ernie!

Ernie! Ernie!

Ernie?

Excuse me, Hound Dog.

For a 69 yard Texas touchdown!

From Syracuse University, who can run a football field's length

Go left, go left!

Go, boy. PLAYER 1: Get them.

Goal line, goal line. Ready?

Good evening.

Good game.

Good people,

GRANDMA: You gonna love it, baby.

Ha! Jim loves to sign autographs, don't you?

Has been selected as one of the three finalists for the...

He have any offers yet?

He leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake.

He runs left,

He'll be fine.

He's as good as me?

He's drilled out of bounds at the 3 yard line

Hey, Ernie.

Hey, fellas, how you doing?

Hey, guys!

Hey, Jim, you think you're ready?

Hey, Logan, Taylor, 44 is embarrassing you.

Hut! Hut!

I asked him to come.

I can only control what happens on 100 yards of gridiron.

I didn't know.

I do not intend to let them waste their money.

I got a scholarship.

I hate to disturb you, but would you sign an autograph for my son?

I know my place, gentlemen.

I think he'd look better in a Cleveland uniform.

I told them I had to think about it.

I will take one on one out here all day long.

I'll be right back. Thank you.

I'm all right.

I'm sure Ernie Davis is a fine boy,

I've seen him.

Is she?

Is that Bill Clark from Notre Dame?

It's complete to his tight end

It's that degree that's going to count for something

It's to Davis.

Jackie Robinson with a home run, his 12th of the year,

Just turn left there.

KING: We still have the attitude of love,

Knock.

Let me carry that. Give me your bag.

Let's get after it! Come on, let's get after it!

Let's go. Good work.

Look at that young man go!

Look, he doesn't know what it is, but they know something's not right, Ernie.

Look, now I'm...

Looks a little different than they do.

Looks good, Ben.

LUNDY: Would you look at that, boys?

Made him prove himself.

MAN 1: Stop. MAN 2: Change your block, change your block.

MAN: Break!

May I go now?

Maybe not even Art or Jack but especially Ernie.

McKinley on a sweep to the right.

Mr. Brown? I hope you like caramel cake.

My doctors are confident.

My knee was down, sir.

Next! Wally Purdue,

No one from here has ever won, if that's what you're looking for.

No!

No.

No. Get back. I'm staying in. I'm staying in.

Not as good as me, Lundy.

Not Syracuse. You.

Now the defense, they have to shift.

Now, in Miami, we would play Georgia, ranked ninth in the polls.

Now, leave Pops out of this, Will.

Now, my plan A is the Cleveland Browns

Now, wouldn't that be something?

Now, you do whatever it takes to make that happen.

Now, you give my best to Reggie.

Oh!

Oh!

On top of the Texas Longhorns, 7 0.

Once I get used to it...

Or any other team.

Or maybe one day, out of the corner of my eye,

Pepsi Cola is the drink for you Pepsi Cola is the drink for you

PLAYER 2: Let's go! Let's go! PLAYER 1: Let's go, four four.

PLAYER: Sir! Ready?

PLAYER: Thirty five, thirty five!

PLAYER: Three. SARETTE: Hut, hut!

Pops!

QUARTERBACK: Hut!

Ready? For what?

REGGIE: Ready? ALL: Ready!

Relax.

SARETTE: Okie. Okie.

SARETTE: Six regular! Six regular! Tight.

SARETTE: State seven! State seven!

SARETTE: Strong load right, 42 shovel pass. On one. On one

SARETTE: Whiskey, whiskey, 33!

Schwartzwalder wouldn't even give Jim a scholarship until sophomore year.

She's a big fan of yours, too.

Shit.

So, Sarah, what are you studying?

So, we're going to run to the weak side?

So, what are you guys studying?

Stay in the game.

Stay in the game. It's not over.

Strong left, strong left!

Strong left. Why don't you watch the sweep, right there?

Syracuse 15, Texas 14.

Take it.

Texas. Texas.

Thank you.

That Syracuse won a national championship?

That way, nobody steps on anybody's toes.

That we have been offered two different bowl games,

That's funny. I don't remember seeing that in the campus brochure, JB.

That's good.

That's great.

The 1960 Cotton Bowl MVP. Congratulations to Mr. Ernie Davis.

The Elmira Express virtually walks into the end zone!

The give is to the right halfback, Gerhard Schwedes.

The receiver is leveled by veteran linebacker Bobby Lundy.

The Redskins just traded their number one pick to Cleveland.

The voting for this year's award was the closest in history

The weak side of the field.

They gonna be looking up to you.

They gonna be looking up to you.

They offered it to me

They tell me I'm responding well to my treatment

Three, why?

Thy rod and thy staff...

Told you this would get out of hand. This is bullshit.

Touchdown, Kansas.

Uniontown is 100 miles away from his Gettysburg.

Wait a minute. Hold on. Watch how you talk to me.

Watch. Strong left. Strong left!

We are going to run it...

We don't concern ourselves with politics.

We don't want to integrate!

We will get no justice from the refs tonight.

We're on the football team.

Welcome.

Well, he's funnier than Jimmy.

Well, Syracuse...

Were you the first in your family to go to college?

What are you boys doing north of Union Street?

What?

What's to think about?

Who believe that's right, are watching.

Who punches the ball home,

Why not?

Why? Is it making you nervous?

With a dazzling spin move, and sheds the tackier.

WOMAN: Yes! No, we cannot.

Yeah, I'm sorry. I'm just used to it.

Yeah, it's her little sister.

Yeah, well, he's definitely real white.

Yeah.

Yes, sir. Mama, Daddy,

Yes, we go to Syracuse, but if you'd like,

You all right?

You all right? Yeah.

You are offside.

You been waiting for these, I know it. Here you go, Peewee. Put it on.

You don't have any more.

You don't stop this quick, it's gonna get out of hand.

You don't think I'm reminded every minute of who I am at school?

You run hard, he'll show you how to run harder.

You see, I never set out to be the best n**** running back.

You see, lacrosse isn't just a sport.

You're about this close, Davis.

You're just his educated ******.

You've got plenty, Rex. Boys, thank you very much.

You've got something to say, 44?

40, 30, 20, 10.

84, ref.

...one hundred years away from here...
