Hadley's Rebellion Quotes

Griffin O'Neal as Hadley Hickman

• (Griffin O'Neal) "You're probably thinkin' "What a jerk this kid is," but I knew if I could just get people to come to these matches and come regularly, some awareness of the art of good wrestling would have to rub off on 'em, and that they would have to get some enjoyment out of the straight wrestling, too. Well, that was my plan. Course, I could never tell Sam."

• (Griffin O'Neal) "I shoulda packed everything back up again right there and left, and gone back to Georgia. Gone anywhere. That's what I shoulda done, but of course I didn't. And before the year was out, I was to do the most cowardly thing I had ever done in my whole life."

• (Griffin O'Neal) "There was hardly anybody in the stands, and it was Saturday night and what the hell else was everybody doin'? I couldn''t figure it out."

• (Griffin O'Neal) "For those of you who have not been to a private school, I personally can not recommend the experience for a number of reasons."
• (Unnamed) "Sorry, Hick."
• (Griffin O'Neal) "One of which is the amount of work they're constantly pilin' on top o' ya. I don't know how I was able to handle it all for as long as I did, and if I'd not been kicked out of Brahm for other reasons, I'm sure that eventually the school work would have pulled me down. Wrestlin' is different altogether."

• (Griffin O'Neal) "My name's Hadley Hickman, I'm from Georgia, I'm in the fifth form, and I intend to be the best wrestler this school's ever seen."

• (Griffin O'Neal) "I don't feel proud of what I did, and all I can say in my defense is that a man's gotta do what he's gotta do; the same way Frank Ball had to go off to some dumb girls' school and become head of an athletic department, and Sam Crawford had to be a drunk and live out the rest of his life in self-pity. Me? I went home to Georgia, and my daddy said I wasn't pompous no more; stupid, maybe; and I never wrestled again after that. Not ever. Not a lick. Well, except for my little girl, but that was years later and a different story altogether."

• (Griffin O'Neal) "You know, I never have seen a wrestling practice room that didn't feel like you were in a dungeon; even if it didn't look like one; and the smell -- well, you know, it never goes away. It made me feel right at home in there. It kind of -- made me start to get excited."

William Devane as Coach Ball

• (William Devane) "You know a lot, kid, but you don't know enough."

Charles Durning as Sam Crawford

• (Charles Durning) "The point is; ya can't pin your entire sense of self-esteem on the fact that you're a wrestler, no matter how good you are, because if you are a wrestler in this country, you can't win; even if you never lose."

• (Charles Durning) "You wanna know what it's like to really be a wrestler? Take a look."
• (Griffin O'Neal) "I'm sorry. I better go."
• (Charles Durning) "Sit down. Try and name the only official collegiate sport today that doesn't have a legitimate professional status. Go ahead."
• (Charles Durning) "Oh, you can turn pro all right. They paid me thirty-five bucks a week to get in there and bounce around like a god-damn Bozo."
