Rafter Pro Training

Rafter Pro Training truly believes in dreaming big.

The most important part of dreaming big is taking the time to list each step towards achieving your goal and taking that first step of many. I know as a child and still today as an adult, I dream big, each and every day. A huge part of these dreams comes from inspirational performances, speeches, books and of course, movies. I have begun a listing of some of the most memorable movie quotes which probably touched all of us in different ways. If you have a movie quote that has been particularly memorable and inspirational to you, please email me your favorite movie quote with the actor and movie receiving appropriate credit.

Movie Quotes

Remember The Titans…Coach Herman Boone: Denzel Washington

“Alright everybody on your feet on your feet on your feet let’s go let’s go. Listen up. I’m not gonna talk to ya tonight about winning and losing. You’re already winners, because you didn’t kill each other up at camp. Tonight, we got Hayfield. Like all the other schools in this conference, their all white. They don’t have to worry about race. We do. But we’re better for it, men. Let me tell you something, you don’t let anything…NOTHING…come between us, nothing tears us apart. Greek Mythology, the Titans were, greater even than the Gods. They ruled their universe with absolute power, well that football Field out there tonight, that’s our universe…Let’s Rule it like Titans.”

Remember The Titans…Julius Campbell: Wood Harris

Coach Boone: “Win or Lose, we’re gonna walk out of this stadium tonight with our heads held high. Do your best. That’s all anybody can ask for.”
Julius Campbell: “No it ain’t, coach, in all due respect, uh, you demanded more of us. You demanded perfection. Now, I’m not 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 this field that way tonight, and uh. If it’s all the same to you Coach Boone, that’s how we want to leave it.”

Rudy…Daniel E. “Rudy” Ruettiger: Sean Astin

“I’ve gotta go, Rock, it’s all right, I’m not afraid. Sometime Rock, when the team’s up against it, when things are wrong and the breaks are
Beating the boys… Tell them to go in there with all they’ve got and win just one for the Gipper. I don’t know where I’ll be then, Rock. But I’ll know about it, and I’ll be happy.”

Rudy…Daniel E. “Rudy” Ruettiger: Sean Astin

“We’re gonna go inside, outside, inside, and outside. We’re gonna get’em on the run boys, and once we get’em on the run, were gonna keep’em on the run. And then were gonna go, go, go, go ,go ,go,and we’re not gonna stop until we get across that goal line! This is a team they say’s… good. Well, I think were better then them. They can’t lick us. What do you say men?”

Rudy…Daniel E. “Rudy” Ruettiger: Sean Astin & Fortune: Charles S. Dutton

Fortune:	“Hey, hey, hey, hey…whatchew doin here, don’t you have practice?”
Rudy:	“Not Anymore, I quit.”
Fortune:	“Oh. Well, since when are you the quitting kind?”
Rudy:	“I don’t know, I just don’t see the point anymore.”
Fortune:	“So you didn’t make the dress list. There are greater tragedies in the world.”
Rudy:	“I wanted to run out of that tunnel, for my dad. To prove to everyone”
Fortune:	“PROVE WHAT?
Rudy:	“That I was somebody.”
Fortune:	“Oh you are so full of crap. You’re five feet nothing. A hundred and nothing. And you got hardly a spec of athletic ability. And you hung in with the best college football team in the country, for two years. And you’re also gonna walk outa here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this lifetime, you don’t have to prove nothing to nobody, except yourself. And after what you’ve gone through, if you have’nt done that by now, it ain’t gonna never happen……..Now go on back.”

All The Right Moves…Coach: Craig T. Nelson
“Gentlemen, alright here’s the situation. We haven’t beaten Walnut Heights in the five years I’ve been coach here. And there are ten thousand people out there who don’t think you’re gonna do it tonight. But there’s thirty seven people in this room who know we can. Am I right? YES SIR. AM I RIGHT? YES SIR! That’s you, and that’s me. So why are we so sure? What do we know that they don’t know? See, I don’t think they know about the human beings inside these uniforms, I don’t think they know the pain you’re willing to endure, do they Tank? No Sir, they don’t. They don’t know how hard you’re gonna hit, do they Djordjevic? No Sir, they don’t. And they don’t know what you’re gonna do to Alexander, do they Reilly? NO SIR. And they sure as heck don’t know about the magic in Rifleman’s arm, do they? No Sir. Well in the next 48 minutes, their gonna find out who you are and what you’re made of. And you’re gonna make me proud. See, you guys are gonna go on in your lives and achieve some great successes and I hope and pray you do. But no matter what the future’s gonna bring, there’s seldom gonna be a moment like tonight when you hold it all in your hands. When you can achieve something together they can never take away from you. Your friends, your family, your parents, your school…this town…a win tonight is gonna give them something to be proud of, something they can believe in. Now you know what they call us! You know why they only gave us 500 tickets to this game! Alright, that’s what you are, and that’s what I am, and that’s how were Gonna win this game! We’re gonna win it, TOGETHER! HOW WE GONNA DO IT? TOGETHER! HOW WE GONNA DO IT? TOGETHER! HOW WE GONNA DO IT? TOGETHER! We are gonna win, TOGETHER! Now, come on down!”

Vision Quest…Louden Swain: Matthew Modine
“I think a lot about those six minutes with Shute, and the time I spent with Carla that season. Kuch had it right, it was a Vision quest. But all I ever settled for was that we were born to live And then to die; we’ve gotta do it alone, Each in his own way. And I guess that’s why we gotta love those people Who deserve it like there’s no tomorrow. Cause when you get right down to it…there isn’t.”

Vision Quest…Elmo: J.C. Quinn & Louden Swain: Matthew Modine

Louden:	“I was at the hotel, they told me you took the night off, what are you sick or something?”
Elmo:	“Course I took the night off, dummy, isn’t this the night you wrestle shute?”
Louden:	“You took the night off for that?”
Elmo:	“Yah. Shaved, gotta hair cut and everything.”
Louden:	“You never took a night off to see me wrestle before. They’ll doc you for that.”
Elmo:	“Hey kid, money ain’t everything.”
Louden:	“You know it’s not that big a deal, Elmo, it’s six lousy minutes on the mat, if that.”
Elmo:	“Ever hear of Pele?”
Louden:	“Yah, he was a, uh, soccer player.”
Elmo:	“A Very famous soccer player. I was in a room here one day, watching a Mexican channel on TV. I don’t know, nothin about Pele. I’m watchin what this guy can do with a ball and his feet. Next thing I know, he jumps up in the air, flips into a summersault, kicks the ball in, upside down and backwards! The gosh darn goalie never what the heck hit him. Pele gets excited and rips off his jersey, starts running around the stadium waving it over his head. Everybody’s screaming in Spanish. I’m here sittin all alone in my room. I start crying. Yah, that’s right, I started crying. Because another human being, a species of which I happen to belong to, can kick a ball… lift himself…and the rest of us sad human beings up to a better place to be, if for only a minute. Let me tell ya kid, it was pretty gosh darn glorious. It ain’t the six minutes. It’s what happens in that six minutes.”

Hoosiers…Coach Norman Dale: Gene Hackman
“There’s a, um, tradition in tournament play, not talk about the next step, until you’ve climbed the one in front of you. I’m sure going to the state finals is beyond your wildest dreams so let’s just keep it right there. Forget about the crowds. The size of the school. Their fancy uniforms. And remember what got you here. Focus on the fundamentals, that we’ve gone over time and time again. And most important, don’t get caught up thinking about winning or losing this game. If you put your effort and concentration into playing to your potential, to be the best that you can be, I don’t care what the scoreboard says at the end of the game, In my book, we’re gonna be winners! OK?”

Any Given Sunday...Coach Tony D’Amato: Al Pacino
“I don’t know what to say really, 3 minutes until the biggest battle of our Professional lives, all comes down to today. And, either, we heal, as a team, or we will crumble, Inch by inch, play by play, Until we’re finished. We’re in Hell right now, believe me, AND, we can stay here, Get the spit kicked out of us, OR, we can fight, our way back, into the light, We can climb out of hell, one inch at a time. Now I can’t do it for ya, I’m too old, I look around, I see these young Faces, and I think, I mean, I made every wrong choice a middle aged man can make, I uh, I threw away all my money, believe it or not, I chased off Anyone who’s ever loved me, and lately, I can’t even stand, the face, I see, in the mirror. You know, when you get old in life, things get taken from you, I mean that’s , that’s, that’s part of life, BUT! You only learn that when you start losing stuff, you find out, life’s this game of inches…so is football. Because in either game, life or football, the margin for error is so small, I mean, one half a step too late or too early, and you don’t quite make it, One half second too slow or too fast, you don’t quite catch it, the inches we Need are EVERYWHERE, Around us, there in every break of the game, Every minute, every second. On this team, we fight for that inch. On this team, we tear ourselves and everyone around us to pieces, for that inch, Because we know, when we add up all those inches, that’s gonna make The freakin dfference between winning and losing, between livin and dying. I tell you this, in any fight, it’s the guy who’s willing to die who’s gonna win that inch, and I know, If I’m gonna have any life any more, It’s because I’m still willing to fight and die for that inch. Because, that’s what livin is, THE SIX INCHES, IN FRONT OF YOUR FACE, Now I can’t make you do it, you gotta look at the guy next to you, Look into his eyes, now I think you’re gonna see a guy, Who will go that inch with ya. You’re gonna see a guy, Who will sacrifice himself, for the good of this team, because He knows, when it comes down to it, you’re gonna do the same for him. That’s a team gentleman, And either we heal now, as a team, or we will die, as individuals, That’s football guys, that’s all it is. Now, what’er you gonna do?”

The Rookie…Jimmy Morris’s Father: Brian Cox
“Someone once told me: It’s okay to think about what you want to do, Until it’s time to start doing what you were meant to do.”

The Rookie...Scout: Blue Deckert & Jimmy Morris: Dennis Quaid

Scout:	“Jimmy…How fast were you throwin sixteen years ago?”
Jimmy:	“Slow enough the scouts stopped using the word fast."
Scout:	“Jimmy, how fast were you throwin?”
Jimmy:	“I don’t know, eighty-five, eighty-six. Why?”
Scout:	“You just threw ninety eight miles per hour.”
Jimmy:	“Naw.”
Scout:	“Dozen straight pitches, three radar guns, same thing on all of them.”
Jimmy:	“Look, Dave, there’s no way…”
Scout:	“Look, I been a scout a long time, and rule number one is, arms slow down when they get old. Listen Jim, I call the office and tell them I got a guy here almost twice these kids age, I’m gonna get laughed at. But if I don’t call in a 98 mile per hour fast ball, I’m gonna get fired!”
