## Dialogue

    Reggie Dunlop: How's it going, Nick?
    Nick Brophy: I'm drunk.
    Reggie Dunlop: Nah.
    Nick Brophy: I'm not bullshittin' ya. Got stinkin' shit-faced on the bus, Louise left me, and that son of a bitch over there keeps playin' me, when he knows I'm shit-faced.
    Reggie Dunlop: Geez, I'm really sorry.
    Nick Brophy: Anybody throws me against the boards, I'm gonna piss all over myself.
    Reggie Dunlop: What are you guys doing?
    Steve Hanson: Puttin' on the foil!
    Jeff Hanson: Every game!
    Jack Hanson: Yeah, you want some?
    [Following a pre-game brawl instigated by the Hanson brothers, during the National Anthem]
    Referee: I got my eye on the three of you. You pull one thing, you're out of this game. I run a clean game here. I have any trouble here, I'll suspend you–
    Steve Hanson: I'M LISTENING TO THE FUCKING SONG!
    [After the Chiefs win on a forfeit after Reggie baited the opposing goalie into a fight, when the opponent had no other goalies available]
    Mo Wanchuk: Hey, Reg! Reg! What did you say to him?
    Reggie Dunlop: I told him his wife was a dyke.
    Mo Wanchuk: NO!
    Reggie Dunlop: Yeah!
    Mo Wanchuk: Fuuuck!
    Jim Mahern: Jesus Christ, no wonder he flipped his lid.
    Johnny Upton: Anybody called my old lady a dyke, I'd go fucking bananas!
    Reggie Dunlop: His wife is a dyke!
    [Chiefs fashion show]
    Jim Ahern: I look like some cock-sucking faggot in this thing.
    Joe McGrath: Have you seen Reg or Braden?
    Jim Ahern: Joe, I don't care man. Enough is enough. Nowhere in my contract does it say I gotta make a fool out of myself. Am I right?
    [McGrath walks toward Upton]
    Joe McGrath: Have you seen Dunlop or Braden–
    Johnny Upton: I'm gonna flash 'em, Joe!
    Joe McGrath: Aw, now, son...
    Johnny Upton: I'm gonna walk down that stinkin' aisle, I'm gonna open up this faggot bathrobe and wiggle my dick at 'em!
    Joe McGrath: You will not.
    Johhny Upton: Yes I am, Joe, and you know why? Because I want you to have a heart attack and die so that we never have to do this shit again. You and your fucking fashion shows.
    Joe McGrath: It's good publicity! You boys just haven't been bringing in the crowds like you used to.
    Johnny Upton: I'm gonna wiggle it at 'em, you cheap bastard. I'm telling you, ya better be prepared, because when I yank it out, everybody in that audience with the exception of my wife is gonna be runnin' for the exits!
    [Upton storms out]
    Announcer: Ensemble #8, as we watch Chiefs defenseman, Johnny Upton, modelling #8...
    Joe McGrath: [on the phone] Joe McGrath, just checking on Dunlop–
    [The audience can be heard screaming at Upton, who apparently flashed the crowd; McGrath slowly hangs the phone up]
    Reggie Dunlop: You guys triplets or something?
    Jack Hanson: Nah, I am in the middle... Steve's 20 and Jeff's 18.
    Reggie Dunlop: Where ya from?
    Jack Hanson: Iron League.
    Reggie Dunlop: The Iron League, huh? Lotta fights?
    Jack Hanson: Nah... Hey I want a a soda.
    Reggie Dunlop: We paid for you here for a week then you gotta find a room of your own.
    Jack Hanson: Okay, coach. Gimme a grape or an orange and none of that stinkin' root beer.
    [after meeting the Hansons]
    Reggie Dunlop: You cheap son of a bitch. Are you crazy? Those guys are retards!
    McGrath: I got a good deal on those boys. Scout said they showed a lot of promise.
    Reggie Dunlop: They brought their fuckin' toys with 'em!
    McGrath: I'd rather have them playing with their toys than playing with themselves.
    Reggie Dunlop: They're too dumb to play with themselves! Boy, every piece of garbage that comes into the league, you gotta buy it.
    McGrath: Reg... Reg, that reminds me, I was coaching in Omaha in 1948 and Eddie Shore sends me this guy who's a terrible masturbator. Couldn't control himself. He would get deliberate penalities so he could get all by himself in the penalty box, and damned if he wouldn't, you know... [pantomimes masturbation]
    Reggie Dunlop: [disgusted] Aw, Jesus, Joe...
    McGrath: Now what was that again...? [continues masturbating gestures]
    Reggie Dunlop: She underlines the fuck scenes for ya? Jesus, if she underlines the fuck scenes for ya, she must worship the ground you walk on.
    Ned Braden: They teach you how to underline in college.
    Reggie Dunlop: Not the fuck scenes, they don't. Braden, you gotta learn to put out more, you know what I mean?
    Reggie Dunlop: You know, your son looks like a fag to me. You better get married again, 'cause he's gonna wind up with somebody's cock in his mouth before you can say "Jack Robinson".
    Anita McCambridge: How dare you. How DARE you!
    Johnny Upton: They're horrible looking.
    Reggie Dunlop: Don't look at me; it was McGrath's doing, not mine.
    Johnny Upton: What the old man trade for these assholes, a used puck bag? Watch Braden, he's gonna do something.
    Ned Braden: Hi. Are you guys brothers?
    Johnny Upton: Are you guys brothers... [laughs] What a life!
    Tim McCracken: Dunlop, you suck cock.
    Reggie Dunlop: All I can get.
    Joe McGrath: You can't put a bounty on a man's head.
    Reggie Dunlop: I just did.
    Reggie Dunlop: Let 'em know you're there! Get that stick in their side, let 'em know you're there! Put some lumber in their teeth, let 'em know you're there!
    Ned Braden: [sarcastically] Bleed all over 'em, let 'em know you're there.
    Reggie Dunlop: Lard ass Barkley Donaldson. You all saw what happened. Stick down, gloves off, he challenged the Chiefs. Called us names, CALLED US NAMES! But Dave was there.
    The Hansons: [in unison] Dave's a killer!
    Johnny Upton: Dave's a mess...
    Reggie Dunlop: But Dave's out. Who's gonna take his place?
    Ned Braden: Is the answer Jesus?
    Reggie Dunlop: [glares at Braden] Okay, guys. [looks directly to the Hansons] Show us what you got!
    [The Chiefs play normal, less raucous hockey in the championship game, only to get hammered in the first period ]
    Joe McGrath: They've come tonight.. to scout the Chiefs, the toughest team in the Federal League. Not this... bunch of... pussies. [stomps out of locker room]
    Reggie Dunlop: Scouts?
    [The Chiefs immediately return to their violent style of play]
