Blue Chips (1994) Sport Edit

A foul is not a foul unless the referee blows his whistle.

A hell of a game you played.

A lot of coaches have been by here.

A millionaire?

A white farm boy with a basketball?

Actually. l haven't given it much thought.

Actually. l thought the kids played their hearts out.

After the alleged point shaving incident?

Ain't no problem. either. His name ain't Abdul Ahmad X or nothing like that.

Algiers?

Alicia. good to meet you. Britney. it's good to meet you.

All right!

All right.

All right.

All right. all right.

All right. boys.

All right. Butch. the ball is yours.

All right. come on. now.

All right. does anybody know what this is?

All right. get loose. Let's go. All right. move the ball. Move the ball.

All right. guys. let's start thinking about the game.

All right. guys. The guards

All right. hold. hold. Butch. Butch. wait a minute.

All right. let's go.

All right. let's go.

All right. let's go. Let's go.

All right. now. son. let me see you. Let me see you fake left. go right.

All right. now. spin baseline. There it is. there it is. there it is.

All right. Ricky. l want you to fake out. go along the baseline

All right. Ricky. use the reverse.

All right. tell us about Cornelius Brown. foot 7 power forward.

All right. there's a thing called Proposition 48.

All right. there's Calbert Cheaney.

All right. Way to move. guys.

All right. Willy Hutchinson.

All right. Yeah?

All them big combines.

All these banners were worth. what. eight points anyway.

All these guys were freshmen. they were kids.

Allan. you used up your question. That was stupid.

Am l wrong? Was l wrong or what?

And curl around that screen.

And from New Orleans, at center,

And he can read and write. The boy can actually read and write.

And he's playing. He's dribbling between his legs.

And he's smart too. He's got his head screwed on straight.

And his sideline antics are becoming boorish and embarrassing.

And if Butch chooses to become a Dolphin.

And if you score 700 or more. you can get into college.

And in danger of their first losing season under Pete Bell.

And it sure as hell ain't much about basketball!

And l believed you.

And l bought into it.

And l called my shack Break my back

And l kept them in school for four years. but that was then. Neon.

And l kept them in school for four years. but that was then. Neon.

And l still have some influence over that.

And l'll tell him exactly what we're gonna do.

And let's stay here all night if we got to.

And look at this weather. l mean. look at this. No more cold weather.

And nobody knows what happened to his mother.

And officially comment on your behavior out there tonight.

And our bodies to thy service. These things we ask in Christ's name.

And our first option is to get the ball in to Neon.

And places it back upon his shoulders. where. magically.

And Ricky. Ricky Roe. We got him there.

And tell me they're homesick. Now. everything is gonna be fine

And that is all legal.

And that's good enough for me.

And that's the position we'd love you to come in and play.

And the alumni are all jerking off over this win.

And the damn thing of it is. Ed. is.

And the head of the Green Knight. thus lopped off cleanly.

And then Graham out here.

And then he went and got You ready for this?

And then he went and he got Ricky Roe.

And then just get some back picking going.

And then you get another six figures for that lousy TV show.

And there they dallied and drank and deemed it good sport

And they should get up front court help from Chris Mills and George Lynch.

And we gotta double team Cheaney. right?

And we'd never have to touch it again.

And we're gonna beat them at both ends of the court.

And we're not screaming at each other. Not yet. anyway.

And welcome to the Dolphin Dome for tonight's game

And what's the second reason?

And when they adjust and double down and triple down on Neon.

And when you go up And then release the ball and follow through.

And you can play for a while...l Spy. Good. Really. really good. Great.

And you lied to me...

And you're telling me nobody's ever heard of this guy?

And. Neon. goddamn it. you take it to the basket and you take it hard.

And. Ricky. you can put it up from where you're at all night long.

And. you know. it wasn't good enough. Wasn't good enough for me.

And. you know. just toss it in one of those gym bags you got.

Another kid we gave a house. Didn't we give him a house?

Are you a better basketball player because of me?

Are you a better man?

Are you implying that classes are rigged for athletes?

Arrangement? Arrangement. my ass. lf that son of a bitch is unhappy.

Arthur's best and brightest. reaches down. picks up his own head

As hard as l did tonight just to get them to play good.

Ask Freddie.

Asking me what l needed.

Assemblies of God.

At forward, from lndiana, foot 11 inches,

At guard, 6 foot 9, from Chicago, lllinois,

Attaboy.

Baseball team is in the College World Series this year.

Basket by number 34, Dan Godfried.

Basket by number 42, Ricky Roe.

Basket by number 50, Eric Riley.

Beat those cutters.

Beats the hell out of those cold. harsh winter nights in Chicago and lndiana.

Because he holds our future employment in his hands.

Because it's not what you do. goddamn it. it's how you do it.

Because l think you and the 50.000 alumni

Because l thought l knew you and l don't. so you can't come in.

Because they ain't my rules.

Because this ain't about education! lt ain't much about winning.

Because. goddamn it. that's what l demand of you.

Being tutored by your ex wife.

Better be at practice on Monday.

Blow your goddamn whistle.

Bobby starts across with it. Keith. you're over here.

Boys. lndiana is over there in the other locker room

Boys...

Business?

But a victory tonight would ensure a winning season for Coach Pete Bell.

But everything changes. huh?

But Gawain asked again to go on the morrow.

But goddamn it. l think what it is is we've been sitting on our butt.

But goddamn it. those kids. they gave me their heart!

But he doesn't have any relatives or a sister.

But if l set this foot in here and l rotate. l'm here.

But in that case. l'd like him to be with someone who's a...

But l believe in rules.

But l love basketball.

But l'll guarantee you boys one thing. Sure as hell. l'll guarantee you this:

But let's make them work to play defense now.

But not one of them can play basketball.

But some of the others did. didn't they. Happy?

But the land was sweet and good

But we got it for him anyway.

But we're not quick enough.

But you did authorize the friends of the program to do what had to be done.

But you gotta make a fake before you move.

But. you know. Ricky. let me tell you something.

Butch?

Butch. get that shirt off. get a yellow on.

Butch. is there anything you wanna ask Mr. Bell?

Butch. you cut around right there.

Butch. you know. l don't know anything about that.

Butch's mother has got a new job and a new house with a lawn.

By learning how to bend and break the rules?

By way of Pluto. he's a major headcase.

By yourself.

Byron. come here.

Calbert starts across. back cut. lob. dunk shot.

Call a timeout.

Can he play with the kids?

Can l use this lamp? ls this lamp ? Yeah.

Can you imagine what Neon would've done

Can't run. can't jump. bad back. pathetic.

Cheated myself.

Chop off the bottom eight names on your list. They are irrelevant.

Coach Bell is ejected from the arena.

Coach Bell. Neon Bodeaux.

Coach is still on his ass four years later.

Coach! Come on. baby. what's wrong? Coach.

Coach? Coach?

Coach. l think you're gonna have to know something about this.

Coach. man. it's me. Tony. l didn't do something like that.

Coach. man. l'm sorry.

Coach. relax. will you?

Coach. that's a tough class. You don't just watch the tube.

Coach. what's up?

Come here a second. Give me the ball. Give me the ball.

Come on. Right now. right now.

Come on. tell me something. Don't give me

Come on. we averaged 17 turnovers as a team that year.

Could you give them to him for me?

Cover him.

Culturally biased? What do you mean by that?

Cut the B.S.. Petey. What do you want?

Cut the bullshit. Did you take money?

D up. man. Play him up. Hands up. Hack.

Dear Lord. we thank you for the blessings you've given to us.

Deny those leads!

Descends a mighty blow on the neck of the Green Knight.

Did you know that?

Did you see that? He went:

Did you see the game?

Dig deep in your pockets. gentlemen.

Do you like it when l'm angry because it turns you on?

Do you think it's fair to say

Do you think my son could have your autograph?

Do you think the entire team understands what we're trying to do?

Doesn't make a whole lot of sense to me.

Doesn't make any mistakes.

Don't get lazy on us. Come on. Rick!

Don't put the game tapes in the VCR.

Don't stand there looking for somebody. get it moving.

Don't you boys understand?

Don't you ever miss?

Don't you know how bad l wanna see this team play?

Don't you think it's a bit much for a 50 year old man

Don't you think we ought to talk about this in private?

Drop that arm down. Now. look. get your legs into the shot.

Dwayne. pick up the ball!

Dwayne. you can get through college half assed.

Eat some hot wings. Would you join us?

Ed?

Even though this kid is still a project with a lot of rough edges.

Every time we get ready to play. l just wanna throw up.

Every year. a couple of guys come in here

Everybody down. Quiet down.

Everybody was throwing the ball away.

Everything changes. coach.

Except on the basketball court.

Except Tony. and he's flunking TV.

Extend that ball. Protect it with your body.

Fake there.

Fast break.

Father Dawkins. Coach Pete is here.

Fill my soul with the Holy Ghost

Finish it. big man.

First Baptist or Southern Baptist?

First Baptist. of course.

Football team's been in the top ten consistently for the last 20 years.

For an automobile to be purchased for Neon Bodeaux?

For chrissake. between you and Neon.

For chrissake. it wasn't an automobile. l mean. it was a fully loaded Lexus.

For this whole team understanding this philosophy.

For Tony. yes.

Freddie. take Tony.

Free throws!

From French Lick. lndiana. a 6'8'' forward.

Get a tutor for Tony for TV. all right?

Getting away from home. meeting new friends.

Getting the players you wanted without selling out.

Give it back. Phil.

Give me $50 for this strapping young boy.

Giving them cars and money under the table. God knows what.

Go in. go in. You got it. Take the shot.

Go slow. Stay in it. Stay in it!

Go strong. Rick. He got killed.

God. Jenny. l'm sorry.

God. tell me something l don't know.

Goddamn it!

Goddamn it. get the hell out of here. Ricky. Get out of here!

Gotta help him. gotta help him. Nice. nice. nice.

Great call. You're the best.

Great game. Coach Bell!

Great. that was so good. We'll do it again in a minute.

Guy just blew right by him. Standing there with his thumb up his ass.

Hands up. baby.

Hands. hands. hands. hands.

Happy said somebody shaved some points three years ago.

Happy. where the hell have you been?

Happy. you're a scumbag. you know that?

Hard work making it with a small farm anymore.

Has got a linebacker. a tailback. an offensive tackle.

Have you gentlemen ever heard 15.000 people cheering for you?

Have you given it any thought

He ain't just big. Pete. he's quick. he's got big hands.

He bought them. Charlie. l know he bought them.

He brought up the alleged incident again.

He can stick it from anywhere. but. l mean.

He didn't take anything. He didn't want anything.

He didn't want a He didn't ask for anything. but

He doesn't need tutoring. he needs a good kick in the butt.

He fouled! Foul!

He got 1250 on his SATs.

He got eaten by an alligator. l know that sounds funny.

He got that ball on the way up. What the hell call is that. for chrissake?

He is incredible. He can rebound. huh?

He paid for them. baby. l can smell it.

He pulled a hamstring at practice that week.

He showed up at a gym recently with some pros. kicked butt bigtime.

He'd like to take over the farm someday.

He's a beauty. huh?

He's already above the rim. he's stuffing it home.

He's going all night like that if you don't stop the ball.

He's going to his left.

He's gonna be surrounded by agents and corporate sponsors and coaches.

He's gonna give it back. relax.

He's gonna take shots. so we gotta shut him down.

He's gonna take that car. he's gonna blab all over town.

He's got all the room in the world. But if you lock here...

He's had a tragic life.

He's in danger of having his first losing season ever.

He's out there on that playground.

He's trying. lt's a struggle. though.

Headed by Neon Bodeaux. the 7 footer.

Hear they're looking for wimps like you! Whiners!

Hell. the kid never even played ball in high school. He went to Army.

Hello.

Here l take that you shall get to the Green Chapel

Here we go.

Here we go. Get that ball.

Here we go. Here we go.

Hey. baby. this place is gonna rock 'n' roll.

Hey. coach. you better get a new day job.

Hey. Freddie. can you go run Dennis?

Hey. Pete. step inside.

Hey. that's great. coach. but l'm not 6'9''.

Hey. why don't you go over to the table. l'll be right with you. okay?

Hi. everybody. l'm Dick Vitale.

Hi. So. what did you do.

His tenth dunk tonight. guys. let's go.

Hold it. hold it.

Hold up. hold up. You didn't hear what l said.

Homesick. huh? Well. let me tell you something. Butch.

Honest to Christ!

Honey. you okay?

How bad can it get?

How come we ain't talking about African folk tales or something?

How come we're not talking about African literature?

How did you like my spin move?

How long you gonna keep this bullshit up. Ed?

How many boards did Neon have tonight?

How many times do l have to tell you? l don't want any part of this.

How's it going with that little girl?

How's Tony?

If we had tried to give him a Ferrari?

If you catch my drift.

If you will tell me the country located immediately south of the United States.

In the same way that if l assert that you sleep with sheep.

Is about 30 grand.

Is an alumnus of Western U.

Is l only have to watch you guys play two more games.

Is strictly related to recruiting problems that started four years ago

It becomes part of his body once again.

It is time to tell Coach Petey Bell to take a hike.

It scared them to death.

It's gonna be a great two man game. okay? All right. let's do it.

It's your job to make him happy.

Jenny.

Jenny.

Jenny. come here. Come here. come here. Now. listen.

Jenny. Jenny.

Jenny. l gotta talk.

Jenny. l'm gonna

Jenny. this is special. This is unusual.

Jenny. this is special. This is unusual.

Jesus Christ.

Jesus. what a mismatch.

Just a couple of divorcees out on a date. right?

Just go for the front of the rim. now.

Just goddamn money!

Just how goddamn bad can it get?

Just once! Man. just one.

Just tell me how it works.

Kids are going east to play. They want the television exposure.

L am very sorry. Neon. but l haven't tutored college students in years.

L bought into it bigtime.

L bought one of your boys. coach.

L broke them.

L can get her to waive the grand.

L can't do this. l can't win like this.

L can't tell you how sick l am of basketball right now.

L cheated basketball.

L cheated my profession.

L did what l could

L did what l could

L didn't ask for this.

L didn't break any laws. You did.

L didn't call it.

L don't blame her. They have a better record lately.

L don't even wanna have this conversation.

L don't give a damn who does it. somebody called me on it.

L don't know if l can take another goddamn game.

L don't know. coach. l'll think about it.

L don't know. Mom. L.A.?

L don't know. you know. but if your mother...

L don't mean to ruffle feathers. Good luck in the second half.

L don't recommend under the table recruiting.

L figure a white. blue chip athlete like myself deserves something extra.

L got a hot one for you. baby. come here.

L got a little confession to make too.

L got him. l got him. Yo. man. why don't y'all help out?

L got it! l got it!

L got something. You guys are gonna have a lot of fun.

L gotta ask this question. or l wouldn't be doing my job.

L gotta take this up with my coach. You told me to take this.

L guarantee you didn't cover the spread that night.

L guess what l'm really trying to say is. if l left school.

L had 20 first graders making valentines.

L hate friends of the program.

L have references.

L hear his mother is a piece of work.

L hear she wants money. She wants money just to talk.

L joined the Army. and we invaded the Persian Gulf for a vacation.

L just l don't do well with losing. do l?

L just deliver them. l don't know nothing.

L just keep getting offered farm equipment by this school and that.

L just open my mouth. rumors start to fly. about you. for instance.

L just send them all to St. Joseph's

L just shudder at it. but...

L just wanna point out to this class that this course is culturally biased.

L just wanna thank you all again for a hell of a season.

L know the amount of money that it's gonna take to buy out your contract

L know they're a great bunch of guys.

L know what Ricky Roe is gonna want.

L know you got a kid named Neon Bodeaux

L know you're feeling abandoned. but l can't help you with anything anymore.

L know your program's so screwed up right now.

L love him. but if he flunks. he deserves it.

L love you all very much.

L make my own sense.

L mean. and l think. personally.

L mean. come on. guys. maybe it's time we should start anteing up.

L mean. Dr. George Howe. the head of our science department.

L mean. for chrissake. he might've scored 40 or 50 points.

L mean. his father was a gar fisherman. He had a boating accident.

L mean. it's really pathetic.

L mean. it's right there in front of you.

L mean. l'm blown away. l mean. these girls are amazing.

L mean. look at this.

L mean. now. don't get me wrong. we got a lot of girls at Western.

L mean. our whole offense is gonna be geared around the point guard.

L mean. people like me just drooling over this kid

L mean. screen him. Pin him hard. Pin him.

L mean. that car was fully loaded. wasn't it?

L mean. we won the damn game. right?

L mean. who knows. Who knows what he would've done for a Ferrari.

L mean. you gotta take Mitchell... Turn around. Mitch.

L mean. you haven't made a call all night.

L mean... l mean. what did Neon do tonight? Does anybody know?

L merely asked you if you thought that the allegations hurt recruiting.

L might not get caught.

L need players. l need horses.

L never even heard of Neon Bodreaux.

L never thought l'd see the day

L own you.

L own you. Pete. You're mine.

L plan on moving to a new and better job.

L promise you boys this. if you come to Western University

L promise you boys this. if you come to Western University

L quit.

L remember this game. l remember seeing this on TV

L screw a hell of a lot better when we're winning. don't you. huh?

L suppose you did read the course description before you took this course.

L swear to God...

L think l could go out to California and just.

L think the thing that l really wanted to ask you is. will l start next year?

L thought Tony was flunking TV.

L told them l need a new tractor. Look at that thing over there.

L wanna know nothing.

L wanna see this team play so fucking bad. l can taste it.

L wanna win this ball game! Let's go!

L want you to meet two big Dolphin fans.

L want you to remember one thing. goddamn it.

L was just driving around. l was in the neighborhood. l thought l'd stop by.

L was not a wealthy man

L won't know until l get in and find out how much bullshit it really is.

L'd just as soon keep it businesslike. if you don't mind.

L'd like to have it in cash.

L'll score 700 in my sleep. For $100. l'll score 800.

L'm a Dolphin and l just love it.

L'm goddamn sick of watching you guys play.

L'm kind of scared to take the college courses.

L'm looking at my first losing season. l just can't handle it.

L'm no 6'11 '' either.

L'm not going to. because l'll get angry.

L'm not gonna bullshit you. Pete. He ain't no brain surgeon. all right?

L'm not.

L'm so depressed l don't even wanna talk about it.

L'm so excited. l can't wait.

L'm so sorry.

L'm sorry. coach.

L'm through fighting. you sons of bitches!

L've become what l despise.

L've been doing some thinking about this. and...

L've been there before.

L've lived through accusations. l walked away from them.

L've thought about it a few times.

Ladies and gentlemen,

Ladies and gentlemen. your coach. my coach. our coach. Petey Bell.

Lavada McRae. You have any trouble finding us?

Let it fly.

Let me ask you something. Pete.

Let me tell you something. in case you don't know.

Let me tell you something. that was a great job you did on that sportswriter.

Let's go to the four man motion.

Let's go.

Let's go. baby. Heads up. now.

Let's go. let's go. Come on. Stay low. stay low. stay.

Let's go. set up the lanes. Let's go.

Let's just don't play this throw it up game.

Let's see what these guys have got.

Let's start thinking about what we're gonna do out there.

Letters of intent from Butch McRae and Ricky Roe

Lf he's over his back. that's a foul.

Lf l couldn't play basketball. would you be trying to get me in college?

Lf l never see another game in my life. that's just fine by me.

Lf they go to their one man.

Lf you can't take the heat. get out of my face.

Lf you feel his body going on this side of you. spin that way.

Lf you feel this side... Feel him. Feel him.

Lf you guys can match my offer. l'm yours. coach.

Lf you keep playing the way you're playing.

Lf your footwork is here and this is open. you're trying to rotate.

Like a soccer ball by Arthur's noble warriors.

Listen to me.

Listen. l didn't say that it happened.

Listen. l found this kid in the sticks in New Orleans. okay?

Listen. l'm gonna tell you something right now. Ricky is a farm kid.

Listen. we're going to the Belgrade after the show to have some drinks.

Listen. you can sell ice to the Eskimos.

Ln closing, it is time to tell Coach Petey Bell of the Western University Dolphins

Lock the door before you leave.

Look at coach on his ass.

Look at him. He owns the paint.

Look at him. He owns the paint.

Look at him. what do you think? l've never seen anything like this guy.

Look out.

Look. Butch. l don't know what kind of arrangements you've made. so

Look. Butch. l'll tell you something. You can even take a shot fake here.

Look. he was a freshman. Freddie. He was making freshman mistakes.

Look. you got Tony admitted. and look how wonderful he's doing.

Looking at the clock again.

Looks like you're back in business. coach.

Loser! You lost three years in a row! Gave you everything you wanted!

Ls there someone you can call to see if l left school.

Lt should be a great game. First half action coming up.

Lt was a pretty good year. we were 16 and...

Lt would've been a hell of a deal. Can you imagine?

Lt's a personal hell you're in for.

Lt's about money!

Lt's for the ball club.

Lt's your friendly athletic director.

Make sure that back man steps up.

Mark? Okay. you a basketball player. Mark?

Matter of fact. we were up by a lot. they came back on us.

Maybe if just once...

Maybe l'd like to see Tony have a little help on the boards his senior year.

Maybe.

Mel. come here.

Miss the goddamn ball once. will you?

Mitch. l want you to come right up on Neon's man.

My children have never had a lawn.

My congratulations to Texas Western and their wonderful coaching staff.

My mom would keep her house and job?

My players do graduate.

Neon. as soon as you see Butch going over.
