Coach Boone: You challenged my authority in front of the entire football team, Coach. Now, you think you're doing these boys a favor, taking them aside every time I come down on them. Protecting them from Big Bad Boone. You're cutting my legs from under me.
Sheryl Yoast: Some of the boys just don't respond well to public criticism. I tell them what they need to know, but I don't humiliate them in front of the team.
Coach Boone: Which boys are you talking about? Which ones you talking about? I come down on Bertier, I don't see you coddle him. Come down on Sunshine, don't see you grab his hand; take him off to the side. Which boys are you talking about? Now, I may be a mean cuss, but I'm the same mean cuss with everybody out there on that football field. The world doesn’t give a damn about how sensitive these kids are, especially the young black kids. You ain't doing these kids a favor by patronizing them. You're crippling them.
You're crippling them for life.

Coach Boone: We're in a fight. You boys are doing all that you can do. Anybody can see that. Win or lose... We gonna walk out of this stadium tonight with our heads held high. Do your best. That's all anybody can ask for.
Big Ju: No, it ain't Coach. With all due respect, you demanded more of us. You demanded perfection. Now, I ain't saying that I'm perfect, 'cause I'm not. And I ain't gonna never be. None of us are. But we have won every single game we have played till now. So this team is perfect. We stepped out on that field that way tonight. And, if it's all the same to you, Coach Boone, that's how we want to leave it.
Coach Yoast: Yeah. I hope you boys have learned as much from me this year as I've learned from you. You've taught this city how to trust the soul of a man rather than the look of him.

布恩教練：你在球隊面前挑戰我的威權。他們挨了我的罵，你就急著到他們身邊安撫他們，讓他們覺得我很壞，你這是在拆我的台嘛。
尤教練：有些球員不喜歡當眾挨駡，我都好好跟他們說，不會當著隊友的面羞辱他們。
布恩教練：你說的是哪些球員？我罵白蓋瑞你就不去安慰他；我罵陽光小子，你也到他身邊關心他；你說的是哪些球員？我的確很凶，但是我對每一個球員都很凶，沒人在乎他們內心有多脆弱，尤其是黑人球員，你這種態度對他們沒好處，你這是在害他們，讓他們一輩子都抬不起頭。

布恩教練：這場球很難打，你們盡了全力，大家都看得出來，不管輸贏，我們都能抬頭挺胸走出球場，你們只要盡力而為就夠了。
甘朱利：這可不行；教練，恕我冒昧，你要求我們達到完美，當然我並不完美，誰也無法達到完美，但是大家的努力讓我們贏了至今的每一場球賽，因此這個球隊是完美的！今晚我們將致力達成這份完美，而教練你也是這麼想的，因此我們想要贏球！
尤教練：沒錯！這一年來，我渴望讓你們了解我從你們身上所學習到的東西有多重要，你們讓大家相信看見一個人的靈魂比看見他們的膚色來得重要。
