Andy: Steve Austin, I've heard of that name. Hey ... you were an All-American quarterback. Right, yeah ... yeah in one game I remember against Tennessee, you recovered 5 fumbles and went for touchdowns 4 of the 5, right? Steve: Its nice of you to leave out the fact that 3 of the fumbles were my own. Andy: What's happening with you now? I haven't seen your name with the pros. Steve: I guess that's my problem, Andy. I just couldn't hang onto the football. Andy: Come on, you would have made it big. You were one heck of a runner. I remember in one game against Georgia Tech and you carried the ball for 250 yards in one game, a record for that year. Steve: What are you some kind of human sports encyclopedia? Andy: You just ran over a hundred yards in about 4 seconds. Steve: Ah, it just seemed like 4 seconds. Frank: There you are Andy. (autographs football) Would you like a couple more? Andy: A couple more? Frank: I figure 3 Giffords would be worth 1 O.J. Simpson. Frank: Hey Steve, uh, you still have those super powers you were telling me about? Steve: Now wait a minute, Frank. That's supposed to be between you and I. Frank: I gotta tell you, Howard was putting me on about a week ago, bragging about he knew everything about everything and I almost told him. Steve: That's what I need for Cosell to know about it. Vernon: Look Andy, its got nothing to do with you personally. Andy: Are you crazy or something? Do you know how long it took for Dr. Wells, Steve and hundreds of other people to work to the point where I could walk again? Vernon: Yeah, well that's fine but they're making you into a robot. Andy: You don't know what you're talking about. These are my legs. Vernon: It's news, Andy.
