Dialogue Coach: How to Pump Up Your Team

It's Super Bowl Sunday and you're in a room full of slugs waiting for commercials and guacamole.  How do you rouse their spirits?  Inspire them with movie quotes!

March 6, 2010

The Superbowl is quickly approaching, which means it's time to get pumped!  This Sunday, millions of Americans will tune to see the Saints and the Colts battle it out - or, if you're the UGO editorial team, to see the new trailer for The Last Airbender.  Either way, here are a few quotes from the Dialogue Coach to get your team, athletic or otherwise, inspired for the big day:

Compare Anything to "Hell"

Any Given Sunday, Tony D'Amato (Al Pacino) employs method acting techniques for his pep talk:

"We're in hell right now gentlemen. Believe me. And we can stay here, get the sh*t kicked out of us, or we can fight our way back into the light. We can climb outta hell... one inch at a time."

Promise Everyone Overtime Pay

Police Academy 2, Capt. Peter 'Pete' Lassard (George Gaynes) after being personally vandalized by Bobcat Goldthwait:

"I don't care if we have to work time and a half.  I don't care if we have to work double time, but mark my words - we are going to nail these punks starting NOW!"

Promise Ass Kicking (and Goose Poop)

Patton, George S. Patton (George C. Scott) before sending his troops into the heat of WWII:

"We're going to kick the hell out of [the enemy] all the time and we're going to go through him like crap through a goose!"
