Knute Rockne, All American1940

Glenn 'Pop' Warner:
But we've got to answer them somehow, Rock. You, Spaulding, Stagg, Jones and myself - we've given the best years of our life to this game. We can't stand by now and do nothing.

Howard Jones:
We've come here from all over the country, Rock - hoping you'd go to New York with us, and face this committee.

Alonzo Stagg:
It's for the boys - millions of boys throughout the country! It's their game we're fighting for.

Bill Spaulding:
Pop Warner is right - we can't ignore their charges. Have you read all they've said about us?

Knute Rockne:
Sure - I've read every word of it. Public educators, huh? Never read such a lot of lies in my life.

Alonzo Stagg:
Yes, Rock - we know that. But they don't know it. They're not really vicious men - they're simply misled.

Knute Rockne:
The public is never misled by this kind of stuff.

Father John Callahan:
The public believes anything it reads in the newspapers, Knute - unless it's denied in type just as large, and preferably larger.
