Steve -- Jeremy -- the Boss says he'll come in a separate car. He says for you two to go on
ahead...

SPURRIER

Hell, he can't do that -- it screws up all my arrangements!

MULLEN

Well, that's what he said.

FOLEY (as Florida player steps up)

I can't go either, Steve.

SPURRIER (as he sees a third player steps up)

Tell Urban it was only business. I always liked him.

FOLEY

He understands that.

MULLEN (frisking Spurrier, taking his play book)

Excuse me, Steve...

SPURRIER

Huh?

(then)

Jeremy – can you get me off the hook? For Ol’ times sake?

FOLEY

Can’t do it, Stevie.

[Steve nods to players who take Steve to the woodshed. Foley walks inside and pauses to
look out the window]

Mergz, The Godfather Trilogy will always be one of my all-time favorite movies. You nailed down the football characterization to a "T" - huge props!
