Coach McGinty visits Shane Falco at his boat yard to recruit him as a replacement quarterback during a professional football strike. Shane is hesitant and haunted by his past failures, but McGinty challenges him to reclaim his fire and take one last shot at glory.
MCGINTY: I’m talking about football, son. Professional football. The Washington Sentinels. We got a strike on our hands.
SHANE: And you think I’m that quarterback? I haven’t played pro ball in years. I was a college star, sure, but that was a long time ago.
MCGINTY: I saw you play. Back in the day.
