Coach Richard Penning:
I give you the keys to the car and this is what I get.

Rick Penning:
After what I've been through the last year, you really believe that I'd be messing with drugs and booze the day I get home?

Coach Richard Penning:
Okay, there where drugs and beer all over you and the car.

Rick Penning:
It was Lars and Marty. Test me. I haven't had a drink in a year.

Coach Richard Penning:
Rick, do you have any idea how much potential you had.

Rick Penning:
Lars set me up.

Coach Richard Penning:
See, my future was stolen.

Rick Penning:
[under his breath] You're not even listening.

Coach Richard Penning:
An-an-an... you know, an-an-an-and, what are you doing? You just throwing it all away for, what - drugs, booze, some girls?

Rick Penning:
So I guess what I said really doesn't make a difference.

Coach Richard Penning:
Rick, it kills me to sit back and watch you throw everything away. I mean, when are you gonna dig deep and first-string the real Rick Penning

Rick Penning:
You wanna talk about first-stringing a Penning? You won nationals in 1986! You were on the original Highland Rugby Team! You were a Highland Rugby Player.

Coach Richard Penning:
I didn't win anything.

Rick Penning:
You were on the team. You know what they taught.

Coach Richard Penning:
I was on nothing.

Rick Penning:
I saw your picture, Dad. You were on the team.

Coach Richard Penning:
No, Gelwix made sure that I wasn't on that team by putting me somewhere that I shouldn't have been. I told him, but he insisted that I play a forward.

Rick Penning:
He was doing what was best for you and the team.

Coach Richard Penning:
No, no, Gelwix stole my life.

Rick Penning:
Well, he's given me mine back. I play for Highland. I am benched for drugs and alcohol, suspended for lying. I don't do anything to embarrass myself, my team, or my family - not anymore. Highland Rugby. Kia Kaha. I'm done.

    This is a very inspirational movie The philosophy of this movie/story can be applied to every part of life. I was so sad to learn of the demise of the Highland rugby team. But like the Phoenix it has been reborn. I would like to learn what happened to the real-life players that the Characters were based on. Anyone who is not viewed this movie Is at a real loss.
