Coach Norman Dale: Welcome to Indiana basketball. Opal Fleener: Sun don't shine on the same dog's ass everyday, but, mister you ain't seen a ray of light since you got here. [about Jimmy Chitwood]Myra Fleener: You know, a basketball hero around here is treated like a god, er, uh, how can he ever find out what he can really do? I don't want this to be the high point of his life. I've seen them, the real sad ones. They sit around the rest of their lives talking about the glory days when they were seventeen years old.Coach Norman Dale: You know, most people would kill... to be treated like a god, just for a few moments. [Just before the big game]Preacher Purl: And David put his hand in the bag and took out a stone and slung it. And it struck the Philistine on the head and he fell to the ground. Amen. [to player who is praying]Coach Norman Dale: Strap, God wants you on the floor. Player: [to shorter player] Didn't know they grew 'em so small on the farm. Everett Flatch: [Shooter is coaching the team at a critical moment after Coach Dale was ejected] You think #22's gonna take their last shot, Dad?Wilbur 'Shooter' Flatch: Yeah, probably... they been pickin' low all night. Rade, let yourself get taken out! Uh, Buddy, drop down and take his place! Close that lane!Wilbur 'Shooter' Flatch: [after Buddy Walker steals the ball] Time! Time!Wilbur 'Shooter' Flatch: Alright, boys, this is the last shot we got! We're gonna run the picket fence at 'em! Merle, you're the swingman... Jimmy, you're solo right! Everett, Merle should be open on the other side of that fence! Now, boys, don't get caught watchin' the paint dry! Merle Webb: Let's win this game for all the small schools that never had a chance to get here. Jimmy Chitwood: I'll make it.
