UPTOWN GIRL [2003]

They're About To Teach Each Other 

How To Act Their Age

Some fairy tales are true, most of there stories we make up to help us deal with real life; 

it all depends on your point of view, 

but here are the facts... 

there was once a princess, who lived in a castle, 

high above the streets of an enchanted kingdom. 

The king and queen were long gone but they left her with a treasure, 

that she would stay a princess forever.

[Ray] 

Act your age, not your shoe size.

[Ray]

As my best friend, it is your duty not to lie to me. 

[Molly Gunn]

[Ray]: You can have your job back, you know. 

[Molly Gunn]: I don't think so. You and I, we're gonna be friends. Okay? 

[Ray]: Grown-ups never stay friends with kids.

[Molly Gunn]: I don't see any grownups around here. 

[Ray]: I do.  

[Ray]: Are you still moping over that disgusting guy? 

Other people always let you down. 

Why don't you forget them and do something for yourself? 

[Molly Gunn]: Like what?

[Ray]: I don't know. Something you're good at. And I don't mean shopping. 

[Molly Gunn]: Maybe some of us aren't good at anything.

[Ray]: Every grown-up is good at something. 

Oh, my bad. I don't see any grown-ups around here.

[Molly Gunn]: What's so great about being a grown-up anyway? 

So I can turn out like you? 

[Ray]: You're scared. 

[Neal]: Molly, I came here to see you. 

[Molly Gunn]: For what?

[Neal]: I haven't been able to write a single decent song since we last saw each other. 

Molly, I'm sorry. 

I was trying to take a step forward, but I took two steps backward instead.

[Molly]: Why don't you take one step sideways? 

Then we can stop doing this silly little dance. 

[Neal]: When I'm not ready, you hunt me down. 

When I try and make it work, you're not interested. 

[Molly Gunn]: Ever since we met, it's about what I'm doing wrong... 

but I'm not the one with the problem. 

You are, you and your selfishness. 

All you do is take. 

I've got nothing for you right now, 

so... maybe it's time to start thinking about someone other than yourself.

REMEMBER THE TITANS [2000]

History Is Written By The Winners

I don't scratch my head unless it itches and I don't dance unless I hear some music. 

I will not be intimidated. 

That's just the way it is. 

[Coach Boones]

We will be perfect in every aspect of the game. 

You drop a pass, you run a mile. 

You miss a blocking assignment, you run a mile. 

You fumble the football, and I will break my foot off in your John Brown hind parts and then you will run a mile. 

Perfection. 

Let's go to work. 

[Coach Boone]

This is where they fought the battle of Gettysburg. 

Fifty thousand men died right here on this field, fighting the same fight that we are still fighting among ourselves today. 

This green field right here, painted red, bubblin' with the blood of young boys. 

Smoke and hot lead pouring right through their bodies. 

Listen to their souls, men. 

I killed my brother with malice in my heart. 

Hatred destroyed my family. 

You listen, and you take a lesson from the dead. 

If we don't come together right now on this hallowed ground, we too will be destroyed, just like they were. 

I don't care if you like each other or not, but you will respect each other. 

And maybe... I don't know, maybe we'll learn to play this game like men. 

[Coach Boone] 

Tonight we've got Hayfield. 

Like all the other schools in this conference, they're all white. 

They don't have to worry about race. We do. 

Let me tell you something: you don't let anyone come between us. 

Nothing tears us apart. 

In Greek mythology, the Titans were greater even than the gods. 

They ruled their universe with absolute power. 

Well that football field out there, that's our universe. 

Let's rule it like titans. 

[Coach Boone]

You look like a bunch of fifth grade sissies after a cat fight! 

You got anger, that's good you're gonna need it, 

you got aggression that's even better you're gonna need that, too. 

But any little two year old child can throw a fit! 

Football is about controlling that anger, harnessing that aggression into a team effort to achieve perfection!

[Coach Boone]

I'm a winner. I'm going to win. 

[Coach Boone]

Sometimes life is hard for no reason at all. 

[Carol Boone]

People say that it can't work, black and white. 

Here, we make it work every day. 

We still have our disagreements, of course, but before we reach for hate, always, always, we remember the Titans. 

[Older Sheryl]
