Robbie Steele, ambitious Vancouver attorney, wants to win at all costs. She needs a former pro hockey star to sign with her client's struggling team.
I SAID I GOT YOU!
♪ (Suspenseful) ♪
GERONIMO!!
(Boy) WHAT DO YOU
THINK YOU'RE DOING?
THAT'S NOT FAIR.
(Robbie) I DON'T WANT FAIR. I
WANT TO WIN.
(Boy) YOU'RE A GIRL, ROBBIE
STEELE. GIRLS ARE SUPPOSED TO BE
NURSES.
GO STAND ON THE PORCH AND BE A
NURSE.
OOFF!!

THERE ARE ANY NUMBER OF
FAIR ATTORNEYS.
YOU HIRED A WINNER.
GOOD.
MY ASSISTANT WILL MESSENGER OVER
THE RETAINER AGREEMENT.
CARL, TELL JULIE AND TOM TO MEET
ME DOWNSTAIRS.
(Carl) YES MA'AM... ASPIRIN?
NAH... IT'S MY BIRTHDAY. I WANT
TO FEEL ALL THE PAIN.
WHAT? THIS WAS A DONE DEAL.
YOU'RE HIS AGENT, YOU TELL ME!
HOW DOES A 5-YEAR ALL-STAR, CON
SMYTHE WINNER FALL OFF THE FACE
OF THE EARTH?
THAT'S THE TROUBLE WITH THESE
THINGS. YOU CAN'T SLAM 'EM.
NOBODY CAN FIND HIM.
HE'S DISAPPEARED.
IF I DON'T FIND CODY HARRIS IN
24 HOURS, I DON'T HAVE A DEAL.
NO DEAL, NO JOB.
NO JOB, NO MONEY.
NO MONEY, NO TRAINER.
NO TRAINER, FAT THIGHS.
THAT'S NOT HAPPENING.
ARENA LEASE RECORDS?
WHAT DO THEY SAY?
MERRIL WINANS HASN'T MADE A
PAYMENT IN OVER A YEAR...
OK, PLACE A CALL
TO AVERY ADVERTISING AT 11:00
AND JULIE, STAFF STAYS UNTIL I
HAVE AN ADDRESS FOR THIS GUY.
TOMORROW'S SATURDAY.
GOOD, YOU'VE GOT THE DAYS OF THE
WEEK.
TOMORROW WE START ON COLORS!
WE HAVE GOT TO GET HER A LIFE!
IS THE MAYOR HERE?
HE'S GOT TO LEAVE BY 4:00
- IT'S HIS SON'S BIRTHDAY.
WHAT'D I
GET HIM?
CD's.
WHAT'S THE
INTEREST RATE?
COMPACT DISCS.
I WAS KIDDING.
SO, WE'RE GOING WITH
PLAN "B"?
I LIE MY HEAD OFF.
I THOUGHT THAT WAS
PLAN "A".
WELL, BREAK A LEG.
(Robbie) WELL, NOW, THERE'S AN
IDEA...
GENTLEMEN! PLEASE... SIT. SORRY
TO KEEP YOU ALL WAITING.
GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT STEELE.
THANKS... MERRIL WINANS
WAS UNABLE TO JOIN US
THIS MORNING,
BUT WE DO HAVE HIM ON
SPEAKERPHONE.
MERRIL? CAN YOU HEAR US?
I'm listening.
ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND THE
CITY, WE'D LIKE TO THANK
YOU FOR GIVING US ANOTHER SHOT
AT KEEPING THE BLADES HERE IN
VANCOUVER.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED OUR OFFER?
I have considered your offer.
AND WE "CONSIDERED" IT
INSULTING.
NOW, SHALL WE CUT TO THE CHASE
AND DISCUSS A SERIOUS OFFER?
WE HAVE COMMITMENTS OF
$75,000,000, MERRIL.
IT'S MR. WINANS' PREFERENCE,
GENTLEMEN, TO KEEP THE CLUB IN
VANCOUVER,
BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT
WE HAVE TALKED TO THE
COMMISSIONER...
And I have license to shop my
team.
TELL US, WHY SHOULD THESE LOCAL
BUSINESSMEN
SINK MORE THAN $60,000,000 INTO
A LOSING TEAM?
(Robbie) #1: CIVIC PRIDE.
YOU'VE SAID IT YOURSELF MR.
MAYOR,
THE BLADES ARE A PIECE OF THIS
CITY.
A LITTLE PIECE OF
CANADA.
#2: PR. YOU'RE ALL IN
CUSTOMER-POWERED
BUSINESSES.
IT'S INSTANT PUBLICITY
FOR THE WHITE KNIGHTS WHO
SAVE THE BLADES.
WELL, THAT'S FINE, BUT PRIDE AND
PR DON'T PAY THE POWER BILL.
NICE ALLITERATION. WHICH
BRINGS US TO POINT #3.
AS OF NOON ON FRIDAY,
THE BLADES WILL NO LONGER BE
CELLAR DWELLERS IN THE DIVISION.
PENDING A FEW MINOR DETAILS,
CODY HARRIS WILL SIGN
TO FINISH THIS SEASON AND PLAY
THE NEXT 3 FOR THE BLADES.
CODY HARRIS? I THOUGHT THAT GOON
HAD RETIRED.
WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING HIM UP
BEFORE THIS?
I WAS SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST.
ROBERTA'S BEEN PURSUING
HIM FOR SOME TIME.
WHEN THE KINGS SIGNED GRETZKY,
THEY SAW AN IMMEDIATE 22%
INCREASE IN TICKET SALES
AND THEIR FIRST SHOT AT THE
STANLEY CUP IN YEARS.
WELL, CODY HARRIS CERTAINLY PUTS
A NEW SPIN ON THINGS.
WE'D LIKE AN HOUR TO DISCUSS
THIS.
TAKE YOUR TIME. THINK IT OVER.
BUT DON'T TAKE TOO
LONG.
WINANS INTENDS TO TAKE THE
FIRST BONAFIDE OFFER.
(Winans) Good day, gentlemen.
GREAT EXIT! DRAMA! GOOD!
ADDRESS?
FOUND HIS
GREAT! MOTHER.
NOT REALLY. SHE'S RESTING
PEACEFULLY AT HAPPY VALLEY
CEMETERY.
NOT TALKING, HUH?
NOT MUCH.
MS. STEELE? KNUTSON CALLED ABOUT
THAT OTHER...
OH, RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY -
OK,
GET ME EVERYTHING YOU CAN FIND
ON "EMINENT DOMAIN."
"EMINENT DOMAIN." DONE.
GIMME A SECOND.
(Winans) WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU
WERE DOING IN THERE?
YOU WEREN'T SERIOUSLY
CONSIDERING THAT OFFER?
I WASN'T? $60,000,000 IS MORE
THAN A FAIR PRICE FOR MY TEAM.
I DON'T WANT "FAIR," I WANT
TO WIN.
TALK TO ME ABOUT CODY HARRIS.
NO SIGNED DEAL YET.
WE'RE HOPING TO FIND HIM...
AMENABLE... TO OUR OFFER.
HE'S GOING TO DRIVE THE PRICE UP
BY MILLIONS. TRUST ME.
IF THIS DEAL GOES SOUTH, AND I
END UP THE LOSER,
I'M GOING TO HIT THIS FIRM SO
HARD,
IT'LL KNOCK YOUR NAME RIGHT OFF
THE FRONT DOOR.
AND YOU, CAN TRUST ME!
(Ding)
YOU LEAVING?
I CAN'T WAIT UPSTAIRS WHILE THE
BOYS CLUB IS MULLING.
MY GUT SAYS IT'S A GO.
WANNA HIT BARNEY'S FOR
A DRINK?
I CAN'T. I ANSWER TO A HIGHER
POWER.
EH?
MY WIFE.
COME ON, WHAT'S
AN HOUR?
IN AN HOUR I MISS BATH TIME,
A REALLY SCARY STORY, AND A BIG
KISS GOODNIGHT.
THEY GOT ALL THAT
AT BARNEY'S
YOU NEED TO GET A LIFE.
YA, WELL YOU NEED TO
GET THE ADDRESS.
♪ (Slow/rhythmic) ♪
(Message/Mr. Bloom)
Brilliant performance, young
lady. Congratulations!
The investors just contacted
Tobin and offered another
$10,000,000 if Cody Harris signs on.
Now... You gotta deliver the
goods.
Hope you're out enjoying
yourself. Happy Birthday!

WELL, I HATE TO USE THE
WORD "HAPLESS," RYAN,
BUT ONCE AGAIN, THESE
BLADES UNABLE
TO CAPITALIZE ON THE POWER
PLAY FOR THE 3RD TIME
TONIGHT.
(Ryan) PRETTY TOUGH TIMES RIGHT
NOW, COLIN.
I THINK THE RUMOR MILL'S FLYING.
THERE'S SOME SPECULATION THAT
NOT ONLY WILL THERE BE A NEW
COACH,
THERE COULD BE A NEW LOCATION
FOR THIS TEAM.
ABSOLUTELY! WELL, THERE
CERTAINLY HAS BEEN
A LOT OF ACTIVITY IN THE
OWNER'S BOX LATELY.
IT'D BE GREAT IF WE COULD
GET A MICROPHONE UP THERE
AND FIND OUT WHAT'S GOING
ON.
THAT MIGHT BE THE ONLY ACTION
TONIGHT, MIGHT BE!
PUNCH HIM IN THE FACE YOU WIMP.
THIS IS EVERYTHING ON CODY
HARRIS.
HE'S INTO FAST CARS...
AND WOMEN.
YOUR BASIC EGOMANIAC
WHO MAKES A LIVING HURTING
PEOPLE.
YOU HAD TO INVITE THEM TO
THIS GAME, DIDN'T YOU?
MERRIL! IF THESE GUYS
DRAW A CROWD WITH THIS
KIND OF PERFORMANCE,
WHAT ARE THEY GOING TO
DO WITH CODY HARRIS?
YOU CALL THIS A CROWD?
THEY ALL CAME IN THE SAME CAR!
PLEASE. STEP INTO MY
OFFICE.
WHEN WE JUMP START THIS CLUB,
THE FANS WILL SHOW.
MY IDEA...
OH, CODY HARRIS!
NOT JUST THAT.
PEOPLE DON'T APPRECIATE WHAT
THEY HAVE UNTIL YOU TAKE IT
AWAY.
WHAT ARE YOU
SUGGESTING?
FUEL THE RUMORS THAT THE TEAM IS
ON THE MOVE. DRIVE UP THE PRICE.
WE GET HARRIS BY
FRIDAY, RIGHT?
NOT A PROBLEM.
(Airplane engine)
(Pilot) GRAB THE STICK WILL YOU?
WHAT'RE YOU DOING?
THANK YOU.
I DROPPED MY CIGAR.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU FLEW
ALL THE TIME.
YA. JET ENGINES, SAFETY BELTS,
WINE AND CHEESE.
(Bloof!) WHAT WAS THAT?
WIND SHEAR. IT'S OK.
IT MIGHT MAKE YOU A LITTLE
AIRSICK.
AND YOU ONLY OCCASIONALLY
LOSE CONTROL OF THE
AIRCRAFT.
WELL, HOW DO YOU SEE THEM TO
AVOID THEM?
YOU DRIVE.
(Louder engine noise)
WATCH OUT GETTING OUT OF
THE PLANE.
(Pilot) ASPIRIN?
YES, PLEASE.
BAIT SHOP... 2 K.
RIGHT. HOW ABOUT A RENTAL CAR?
BAIT SHOP... 2 K.
BAIT SHOP... 2 K.
(Woman) UM, NICE ONE. C'MON.
AHH. NICE ONE. AHH. GOODNESS.
AH, GOOD MORNING.
(Robbie) I'M LOOKING FOR A MR.
CODY HARRIS.
I UNDERSTAND HE LIVES AROUND
HERE.
JUST OUTSIDE OF
TOWN.
THERE'S A TOWN?
YOU'RE LOOKING
AT IT.
I WAS TOLD I MIGHT BE ABLE TO
RENT A CAR HERE?
YOU'RE LOOKING AT 'EM.
TAKE CREDIT CARDS? (Woman
chuckles & laughs)
(Bloof!)
HEY! GET OFF! COME ON BOYS.
I'M SORRY. YOU LOST?
NOT IF ONE OF YOU IS
CODY HARRIS.
AGENT OR LAWYER?
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
NEVER MIND. I'M SORRY.
THIS IS JOSEPH, DOG OF MANY
COLORS.
AND THAT'S ABBY... ABEDNEGO.
SURVIVED A FOREST FIRE LAST
SUMMER.
AND YOU'RE...
ROBERTA... ROBBIE.
SURVIVED THE PLANE
TRIP HERE.
I'VE BEEN RETAINED BY THE
VANCOUVER BLADES TO SECURE
YOUR SERVICES.
LAWYER. YOU'RE TRESPASSING.
WAIT. DON'T YOU WANT TO HEAR
THE OFFER?
I'M NOT IN THAT LINE OF WORK
ANYMORE!
I THINK YOU OWE ME AT LEAST 10
MINUTES!
LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO BE
RUDE...
TOO LATE.
I MOVED UP HERE TO GET
AWAY FROM LAWYERS AND
AGENTS OK?
SO THANKS, BUT NO
THANKS...
LISTEN MISTER HARRIS... DROP
IT!!
I TRAVELED 400 MILES IN A TIN
CAN WITH WINGS
TO HAVE EVERYTHING I OWN EITHER
COVERED IN SALIVA OR...
I'M GOING ON A HIKE. I'LL GIVE
YOU 5 MINUTES WHEN I GET BACK.
I'D LOVE A HIKE!
WE'LL SEE.
(Splashing)
(Robbie) IT WOULD BE A 5-YEAR
CONTRACT!
(Splash)
NAH. I'M FINE. GO AHEAD.
(Robbie) SO, I'M GUARANTEEING
$4,000,000, A PERCENTAGE AND
MARKETING.
THE PRICE HAS GONE UP.
SO THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
IF THAT'S WHAT IT WAS
ABOUT,
I'D STILL BE ON THE ICE
RIGHT NOW.
WELL... WHAT DO YOU WANT?
TO BE LEFT ALONE.
YOU HATE ALL WOMEN OR IS IT JUST
ME?
JUST YOU.
I LIKE HIM SO MUCH!
YOU WANT TO HELP ME WITH SOME OF
THIS STUFF?
SURE!
WHAT'RE YOU DOING. YOU CAN'T DO
THAT. THIS IS MY LIFE!
WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS
THAT?
MINE!
TRUST ME.
THE SQUIRRELS ARE
PRETTY HONEST.
BUT YOU CAN'T TRUST
ABEDNEGO.
WOOF WOOF!
AHH!
YOU DO THIS A LOT?
GIVES ME PERSPECTIVE.
IS THAT WHY YOU WALKED AWAY?
NOSEY TOO, HUH?
SORRY.
I WAS MARRIED... AND DIVORCED.
SHE LEFT ME, AND A LARGE PART OF
ME WENT WITH HER.
I DON'T BLAME HER THOUGH. I'VE
DONE THINGS I WASN'T TOO PROUD
OF.
BUT AROUND THAT TIME ANOTHER
PLAYER STARTED TALKING TO ME
ABOUT GOD.
HOW I COULD HAVE A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP... WITH GOD.
SO I BECAME A CHRISTIAN.
OH. WELL THAT EXPLAINS THE
FRIENDLY WELCOME.
SORRY.
WHY WOULD GOD WANT YOU TO
GIVE UP WHAT YOU DO BEST?
IT WASN'T THE HOCKEY.
IT WAS THE MONEY, THE CARS...
THE MONEY.
THINGS WE ALL FACE EVERY
DAY.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, WE'RE
HIDING OUT ON A MOUNTAIN
SOMEPLACE.
I WALKED AWAY TO FIND OUT WHAT
GOD REALLY WANTED FOR ME.
MAYBE GOD WANTED HOCKEY
FOR YOU.
NOT THE WAY I PLAYED IT.
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO WIN,
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO LOSE.
YOU PLAY TO WIN.
TO WIN WHAT?
CHAMPIONSHIPS. THE STANLEY CUP.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
THE SAME. I WANT THE
"TROPHIES", THE MONEY, THE
CARS...
THE MONEY... AND STUFF.
THAT'LL MAKE YOU HAPPY?
YA... THAT AND YOUR
SIGNATURE ON A CONTRACT.

(Cody) THIS IS WHO WE'RE DEALING
WITH.
HE SPOKE, AND THIS CAME INTO
EXISTENCE.
LOOK, I GOT NOTHING AGAINST GOD.
I'M PRO-GOD, IN FACT.
WE HAVE A LOT IN COMMON.
HE MADE THE WORLD, AND I RUN IT.
ARE YOU ALWAYS "ON?"
DOESN'T THIS HAVE ANY EFFECT YOU
AT ALL?
MY LIFE IS MY WORK.
TREES AND CLOUDS AREN'T VERY
RELEVANT.
MUST BE LONELY.
(Ringing) A SIGNAL! FINALLY.
HELLO... I CAN BARELY HEAR

THANK YOU.
I'VE BEEN REAL TIRED LATELY.
TRY BEING 82. JUST THINKING
ABOUT IT TIRES YOU.
AND SHE'S JUST A PUP.
WE'RE STOPPED. WHY ARE WE
STOPPED?
HANK'S ROTATING THE TIRES.
WHAT?
WE'VE GOT A FLAT. BUT WE'LL BE
UP AND GOING SOON.
(Grunting... Whoa!!)
(Gurgling)
UH... THAT'S BETTER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE
OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENERY I
CAN TAKE.
HI!
HI!
Y'KNOW, I GREW UP ON A RIVER
JUST LIKE THIS.
LITTLE NORTH FROM HERE.
CALLED "JACK STONE CREEK."
JACK STONE CREEK.
IT WOULD FREEZE OVER IN THE
WINTERTIME.
AND, FOR 3 MONTHS MY FATHER AND
I HAD OUR OWN PRIVATE ICE RINK.
BUT IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS HOW
YOU REMEMBER IT, IS IT?
I WAS LUCKY TO SEE MY DAD ONCE
EVERY 3 MONTHS.
MILITARY.
SO, WHAT'D I SAY THAT FINALLY
WON YOU OVER?
YOU DIDN'T FAIL BY COMING UP
HERE.
WELL, THAT'S GOT "NO"
WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
ROBBIE, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR
BEING SO HARD ON YOU BEFORE.
HEY LOOK, I'M SPEAKING WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. I'D LIKE YOU TO BE THERE.
MAYBE THIS WAS ALL FOR A REASON.
THAT'S SWEET.
BUT I THINK I'LL PASS.
YOU KNOW, FOR A MOMENT UP THERE
ON THAT MOUNTAIN,
I ALMOST SAW IN YOU THAT LITTLE
GIRL.
LITTLE PERSON...
LITTLE PERSON.
GOD WANTS US TO COME TO HIM.
LIKE LITTLE PERSONS.
NO MONEY, CARS... ANY OF THAT
EXTRA STUFF.
JUST SIMPLE.
WE'RE A LONG WAY FROM JACK STONE
CREEK, CODY.
(Sighs)
COFFEE. BLACK. SET UP AN IV.
WHERE'VE YOU BEEN? HAROLD'S
BEEN...
I KNOW... WHO'S THAT?
KNUTSON. EMINENT
DOMAIN.
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?
HE'S BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE
YOUR OFFICE FOR 2 DAYS.
THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO PUT
A FREEWAY THROUGH HIS HOUSE.
NO NEW CLIENTS! GIVE HIM TO
TOBIN.
THIS IS MY DEAL. I'LL FIX IT.
THE INVESTORS BACKED
OUT. THERE IS NO DEAL.
LET ME TALK TO WINANS. I'LL
SMOOTH IT OVER.
DO YOU HAVE CODY
HARRIS?
YES...
WELL
AND NO. HE'S IN TOWN TONIGHT.
AND SPIVAK AND I ARE MEETING
WITH HIM.
(Operator) Steve Stark, line 4.
OK. LAST CHANCE,
ROBBIE.
THE ICE QUEEN!
(Spivak) HEY, HEY KIDS! COME ON.
C'MON ZACK. CARLY, OUT. DADDY'S
IN A HURRY.
(Carly) DON'T SPANK ME!
SORRY.
YOU KNOW ROBBS, YOU GOT A REP
FOR DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO
CLOSE A DEAL,
BUT GOING TO A BILLY GRAHAM
CRUSADE...
THIS WILL MAKE YOU A LEGEND.
(Cody) I NEVER HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO FORWARD AT A
CRUSADE LIKE THIS,
BUT I WISH I HAD.
MANY OF YOU HAVE COME FROM GREAT
DISTANCES TO BE WITH US TONIGHT.
I BELIEVE EVERY ONE OF USE IS
HERE BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS
LEAD US.
EVER BEEN TO ONE OF THESE?
I'M STRICTLY A "C AND E" GUY...
CHRISTMAS AND EASTER.
WHEN BILLY GIVES YOU THE
INVITATION
TO GIVE YOUR HEART TO CHRIST,
REALLY CONSIDER WHOSE TEAM
YOU'RE PLAYING FOR.
GOD'S LOVE IS THE GREATEST POWER
IN THE UNIVERSE.
IT CHANGED HISTORY.
IT CHANGED ME.
AND NOTHING... NOTHING CAN
OVERCOME IT.
(Applause)... THANK YOU.
(Billy Graham) IT WAS NOT HUMAN
WEAKNESS THAT KEPT HIM ON THE
CROSS.
JESUS SAID, "I LAY DOWN MY LIFE
THAT I MIGHT TAKE IT AGAIN.
NO MAN TAKES IT FROM ME, BUT I
LAY IT DOWN OF MYSELF.
I HAVE POWER TO LAY IT DOWN, AND
I HAVE POWER TO TAKE IT UP."
HE HAD NEVER COMMITTED A SIN.
HE'D NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
HE'D NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING
EVIL.
HE WAS JUST A LITTLE OVER 30
YEARS OF AGE.
AND THERE HE WAS, HANGING.
IN YOUR PLACE AND MINE.
AND HE COULD LOOK FORWARD
THROUGH THE CENTURIES AND SEE
YOU.
HE SEES YOU, HE SAW YOU THEN, AS
YOU SIT HERE TONIGHT.
HE KNOWS YOUR HEART, HE CAN READ
YOUR MIND.
HE KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
AND HE SAYS "I LOVE YOU. I LOVE
YOU."
FROM THE CROSS THERE'S ONE WORD
THAT COMES OVER AND OVER AGAIN -
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
HE LOVES YOU.
AND HE'S WILLING TO FORGIVE YOU
OF ALL YOUR SINS.
SIN IS A FAILURE TO LIVE UP TO
GOD'S ETHICAL AND MORAL
STANDARDS.
AND THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "ALL
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS SIN."
SO WE'RE SINNERS BY NATURE,
WE'RE BORN
WITH THAT SEED WITHIN US, AND
THEN WE'RE SINNERS BY CHOICE.
YOU CHOOSE TO SIN, ON YOUR OWN.
AND THEN YOU'RE SINNERS BY
PRACTICE.
WE SIN EVERY DAY.
EITHER SINS OF OMISSION OR SINS
OF COMMISSION.
YOU HAVE TO REPENT OF SIN.
THAT MEANS YOU SAY TO GOD, "I'M
SORRY I'VE SINNED.
I'M WILLING TO CHANGE MY WAY OF
LIFE.
I CAN'T DO IT MYSELF, I'VE TRIED
AND I'VE FAILED."
BUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL COME
AND HELP YOU TO CHANGE.
(Applause)
GOD WILL HELP YOU TO CHANGE AND
THAT'S REPENTANCE.
YES, THAT VOID IN YOUR LIFE CAN
BE FILLED TONIGHT BY CHRIST.
HE CAN FORGIVE THE PAST,
RECONCILE YOU WITH YOUR HUSBAND
OR YOUR WIFE
OR YOUR CHILDREN OR YOUR FRIENDS
OF BUSINESS.
GIVE YOU A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION
IF YOU WILL RECEIVE HIM.
AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO
THAT RIGHT NOW.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO GET UP
OUT OF YOUR SEAT,
COME AND STAND IN FRONT OF THE
PLATFORM AND ALL AROUND...
AND BY COMING, YOU'RE GOING TO
SAY,
"I DO TURN FROM MY SIN AS BEST I
CAN WITH GOD'S HELP.
I WANT TO COMMIT MYSELF TO HIM,
AFRESH AND ANEW.
I WANT TO REALLY KNOW CHRIST.
I WANT TO LEAVE HERE WITH
CERTAINTY IN MY HEART.
WE GOTTA FIND OUT WHEN
THEY'RE BRINGING THE
POPCORN HERE...
(Billy Graham) YOU GET UP AND
COME RIGHT NOW.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE COULD GET
A 3RD OF THESE PEOPLE
TO COME SEE HARRIS PLAY INSTEAD
OF PREACH?
WE COULD CLEAN UP... SPIVAK?
(Billy Graham) SO START NOW, IF
YOU COME FROM THE TOP,
BUT DON'T LET DISTANCE KEEP YOU
FROM CHRIST
BECAUSE YOU MAY NEVER HAVE
ANOTHER MOMENT LIKE THIS.
TO BE BORN AGAIN MEANS TO BE
BORN FROM ABOVE.
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD COMES IN
AND GIVES YOU A NEW HEART.
YOU SEE, YOUR OLD NATURE IS NO
GOOD.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A NEW NATURE.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A NEW HEART.
"A NEW HEART ALSO WILL I GIVE
YOU
AND A NEW SPIRIT WILL ACT QUICK
WITHIN YOU," SAYS EZEKIEL 36.
WHEN YOU COME TO HIM TO PRAY,
MAKE IT SIMPLE.
SAY, "LORD, I LOVE YOU." THAT'S
A PRAYER.
SAY, "OH GOD, I CONFESS MY
SINS." THAT'S A PRAYER.
AND THEN YOU CAN START TELLING
HIM ALL ABOUT YOUR NEEDS
AND YOUR PROBLEMS AND YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS,
AND HE KNOWS IT ALREADY - HE
WANTS TO HEAR YOU SAY IT
SO YOU'RE DEPENDING ON HIM TO
HELP YOU.
(Car engine)
WASN'T SURE YOU'D SHOW. LATE
NIGHT?
IT'S THE LAST THING I
THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN.
YA, WELL, THAT MAKES 2 OF US.
(Swak)
BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU
GET OLDER WHY YOU'D WANT TO GO
BACK TO THE CHURCH -
THE EMOTIONAL CRUTCH AND ALL...
SPARE THE PLATITUDES, ROBBIE. I
KNOW WHAT I DID LAST NIGHT.
IT SCARES ME TO DEATH TOO.
(Swak)
I THOUGHT THAT GRAHAM HAD
SOME INTERESTING THINGS
TO SAY.
NO, REALLY I DID.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SHOW
UP TO HEAR SOME GUY QUOTE
THE BIBLE,
HE'S OBVIOUSLY GOT
SOMETHING TO SAY.
YEAH, THAT... SOMETHING AMAZING
HAPPENED TO ME.
I MEAN THERE WAS LIKE... DR.
GRAHAM CALLED IT... PEACE.
I FELT THIS FORGIVENESS I NEVER
FELT...
FORGIVENESS? WHAT'VE YOU
EVER DONE WRONG?
CHEAT AT SCRABBLE?
(Spivak) IT GOES BEYOND WHAT
I'VE DONE WRONG.
IT'S SOMETHING I ALWAYS FELT WAS
MISSING IN MY LIFE.
LAST NIGHT, IT JUST FELT RIGHT.
TIME WILL TELL.
LOOK, I BUY THAT THERE'S SOME
GOD, OR WHATEVER,
WHO MADE THE UNIVERSE,
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MY OWN
LIFE... I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR ME.
I'VE MADE MYSELF WHAT I
AM.
SURE YOU WANT THAT
RESPONSIBILITY?
THE TRUTH IS... I WISH I COULD
GO GET WHAT YOU GOT
AND HAVE WHAT CODY HAS.
I WISH IT WAS AS SIMPLE, FOR ME.
BUT IT'S JUST NOT.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO COMPLICATE
IT?
IF I DIDN'T COMPLICATE IT,
I'D REALIZE I HAD NOTHING.
(Swak)
BUT THEN AGAIN, I'LL HIT A
BEAUTY SHOT LIKE THAT ONE,
AND I'LL FORGET ALL ABOUT THE
MEANING OF LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE
AND JUST FOCUS ON WINNING,
BEATING THE OTHER GUY,
CLOSING THE DEAL.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHAT DID OUR
DEAR CODY SAY?
SAID HE WAS
PRAYING ABOUT IT.
GREAT!
WE COULD TRY IT.
PRAY? YOU ARE NUTS,
AREN'T YOU?
PRAY THAT CODY WOULD DO THE
RIGHT THING.
YOU CAN DO THAT?
(Phone rings) COMPLETELY INSANE.
HELLO?... UM HUM. YES! GREAT
NEWS, JULIE!
CODY HARRIS IS IN.
AND WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO PRAY!
WINANS CALLED FOR THE FOURTH
TIME AT 9:15.
HE WANTS TO SPEAK WITH YOU
IMMEDIATELY.
AND THIS WAS JUST DELIVERED TO
MR. SPIVAK FROM A CODY HARRIS.
OPEN IT. SHOW ME
CONTRACTS.
THAT'S A CONTRACT.
MS. STEELE? MR. HARRIS IS
WAITING FOR YOU IN YOUR
OFFICE.
(Knocking)
(Robbie) EXCUSE ME, MISS STEELE?
JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS
LIKE IN THE HOT SEAT.
NICE JERSEY. DOES IT FIT?
YEAH, FITS JUST FINE.
GOTTA FIND A WAY TO GET MY NAME
AND NUMBER ON THE BACK THOUGH.
I'LL SEW IT ON MYSELF.
LISTEN, BEFORE WE SIGN
CONTRACTS, A COUPLE OF
THINGS...
OH BOY. HERE WE GO!
DON'T BELIEVE WHAT
YOU READ IN THE PAPERS.
THE TEAM IS STAYING IN TOWN.
GOOD. YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT KIND
OF PLAYER YOU'RE GETTING.
I'VE MADE A
COMMITMENT TO JESUS CHRIST.
I WON'T PLAY
MY OLD GAME ANYMORE.
I WON'T PLAY DIRTY.
YOU'RE SAYING?
YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH.
I TOOK A LOT OF GUYS OUT OF THE
GAME FOR AWHILE.
BROKEN NOSES... BROKEN TIBIAS,
THAT KIND OF THING.
SEE, I THOUGHT IT WAS OK THEN
BECAUSE IT WAS MY BUSINESS.
I GET THE ANALOGY. BUT I HAVEN'T
BROKEN ANY TIBIAS LATELY,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YEAH, MAYBE NOT.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU AND I ARE AN
AWFUL LOT ALIKE...
TO DO WHAT YOU DO, YOU HAVE TO
PUT YOUR BLINDERS ON.
SOONER OR LATER YOU'RE GONNA RUN
INTO SOMETHING PAINFUL.
WE'LL SIGN CONTRACTS LATER.
PRESS CONFERENCE AT NOON.
HEY, THEN YOU BETTER GET STARTED
WORKING ON THIS.
GET OUT OF MY CHAIR!
HA, HA, HA!
(Fans cheering)
HE HASN'T LOST MUCH?
A LITTLE SPEED MAYBE. BUT,
I CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF
GUYS ON ONE HAND THAT CAN
DO BETTER.
(Boom, splat)
(Loud cheering)
SO HOW'D YOU GET HIM BACK,
ROBBIE?
HE LOVES THE GAME. I JUST HAD TO
REMIND HIM.
WELL, HE'S A BIG DRAW. NEXT
COUPLE OF GAMES WILL TELL.
COUPLE OF GAMES? A FULL SEASON
WITH THIS GUY,
AND YOU'LL START THINKING ABOUT
BUILDING A BIGGER VENU
BUT THE CLOCK IS TICKING,
GENTLEMEN.
WE'RE GETTING SOME HEAT
FROM THE U.S.
I WOULDN'T TAKE A COUPLE
GAMES.

BIG COMEBACK TONIGHT.
CERTAINLY A SURPRISE TO
THE PHILADELPHIA TEAM.
I WONDER IF IT'S A
SURPRISE TO THE LOCAL
FANS?
WELL, THIS HAS BEEN A BIG CHANGE
FOR THIS TEAM.
I THINK CODY HARRIS IS CERTAINLY
PART OF IT, BUT, UH...
BUT, IT'S A TEAM SPORT,
ISN'T IT, RYAN?
YEAH, IT IS. YOU GOT TO WONDER
TOO, UP THERE IN THE OWNER'S
BOX.
I MEAN, THAT PLAYS A PART TOO,
AND
ROBERTA STEELE IS APPARENTLY THE
LADY WHO HAS DONE IT.
THEY CALL HER "THE
TERMINATOR" RYAN.
I'M NOT GOING TO TOUCH THAT
COLIN.
JUST TO KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT ONE
GUY ON THE TEAM
THAT CAN PUT THE PUCK IN THE
NET.
IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE NOT
ONLY TO THE TEAM
BUT TO THIS GREAT CROWD THAT'S
HERE TONIGHT.
(Colin) CODY HARRIS WITH THE
PUCK.
OH, A WICKED SLASH FROM MONROE
THERE!
THEY'VE GOT EACH OTHER IN A
STRANGLE HOLD.
A COUPLE OF PUNCHES...
WAIT A MINUTE, HARRIS, HARRIS IS
SKATING AWAY.
MUNRO IS... OH, A WICKED PUNCH
FROM BEHIND!
CLOCKED CODY HARRIS.
(Ryan) THAT SUCKER PUNCH HAS GOT
TO GET OUT OF THE GAME.
JUST CAN'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN IN
THE GAME OF HOCKEY.
(Colin) THAT'S NOT A NICE
INCIDENT AT ALL.
THE LINESMEN ARE SEPARATING THEM
NOW.
TAKING THEM AWAY TO THE PENALTY
BOXES.
THE PENALTIES SHOULD SHAKE DOWN
HERE IMMEDIATELY.
SEE WHO GETS THE EXTRA
MINUTES...
(Ryan) YOU KNOW COLIN, MUNRO'S
GOT TO GET SOME EXTRA MINUTES
FOR THAT.
YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT IN THE
GAME OF HOCKEY. THAT'S JUST NO
GOOD.
(Colin) YOU GOT TO WONDER
THOUGH.
CERTAINLY, THESE 2 HAVE SQUARED
OFF BEFORE
AND A VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH
HERE FOR CODY HARRIS.
I WONDER, IS THE LIFESTYLE
GETTING IN THE WAY?
(Colin) WELL. POSSIBLY. YOU
KNOW, DISCIPLINE'S A PART OF THE
GAME.
I MEAN THE COACH WANTS YOU TO BE
DISCIPLINED,
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND YOU NEED
TO RESPOND.
IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW
IT AFFECTS HIS GAME.
EXACTLY! CAN HE SCORE
WITH THIS NEW ATTITUDE?
HE'S CERTAINLY NOT THE
BAD BOY OF HOCKEY
THESE FANS HAVE COME TO
KNOW AND LOVE.
(Robbie) YOU SHOULDA' FINISHED
HIM OFF!
WE PAY YOU GOOD MONEY TO
HIT PEOPLE!
YEAH, WELL... DO UNTO
OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO
UNTO YOU!!
THE VENUE HOLDS 14,500.
TONIGHT WE CAME IN AT JUST OVER
14,000.
THAT'S A 28% INCREASE OVER 3
GAMES.
THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
ACTUALLY, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I
SAID WOULD HAPPEN.
FIRST BONAFIDE OFFER
GENTLEMEN.
I WANT A DEAL.
WE SIGNED CODY TO CLOSE, AND MY
CLIENT WANTS TO SELL.
IF A TOWN THIS FIRED UP FOR A
HOCKEY TEAM
CAN'T GET TOGETHER THE
$100,000,000,
THEN I GUESS SOMEBODY ELSE WILL.
$100,000,000?
THAT'D BE A MISTAKE. THE FANS
ARE LOOKING...
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FANS,
GENTLEMEN.
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE A HANDSHAKE
TO THE BANK.
SO GET BACK TO ME. FRIDAY BY 4.
(Swock)
(Swock)
(Swock)
(Swock, Swock)
(Swock, swock)
SO THIS IS THE MYSTERIOUS
POST-GAME RITUAL?
I GUESS I'M ALWAYS SORT OF
INTRUDING, HUH?
(Swock)
THIS IS NICE.
(Swock)
I REALLY LOVE THIS OLD
PLACE.
IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS
I CAME BACK.
ANY OTHERS?
SOMETHING YOU SAID
ABOUT... HIDING OUT.
SORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EARLIER.
NO, YOU WERE RIGHT.
YOU'RE PAYING MONEY FOR A
BRAWLER. AND I'M HIDING
OUT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I'M SORRY, ROBB'S. IT JUST
AIN'T WORKIN' OUT.
SO THE GOING GETS TOUGH, AND THE
TOUGH CLIMB BACK UP THEIR
MOUNTAIN?
I THOUGHT IT COULD
WORK...
YA - AS LONG AS THERE WEREN'T
ANY RISKS? RIGHT?
WELL, YOU CAN'T LEAVE.
YOU'RE UNDER CONTRACT.
CONTRACT? WOW.
THAT'S THE WAY YOU STILL
THINK ABOUT ME?
I GUESS I SHOULDN'T HAVE
EXPECTED ANY MORE OUT OF
YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
WHAT I MEAN IS THAT NO
MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRETEND
TO CARE,
YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKIN' OUT
FOR NUMBER ONE.
I CARE ABOUT THIS TEAM. AND I
DON'T THINK IT SETS A VERY GOOD
EXAMPLE RUNNING AWAY.
I DON'T THINK PUNCHING SOME
GUY'S TEETH OUT
ON NATIONAL TELEVISION IS ALL
THAT GREAT EITHER!
ALRIGHT SO YOU MADE A MISTAKE.
YOU TELL ME YOUR GOD IS
FORGIVING. WELL, IS HE?
OH, YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT GOD NOW?
ALL I KNOW ABOUT GOD IS WHAT
I'VE LEARNED FROM WATCHING YOU.
WHATEVER HE DID IN YOUR LIFE,
IT'S REAL.
EVEN I CAN SEE THAT.
SO CUT YOURSELF A BREAK.
IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE... LEAVE.
BUT JUST KNOW THIS. I DO CARE
ABOUT THIS TEAM.
AND I CARE ABOUT YOU.
WOW. THERE SHE IS AGAIN.
WHAT?
THAT LITTLE GIRL I SAW BACK UP
ON THE MOUNTAIN.
LITTLE PERSON!
I SEE HER EVERY NOW AND
THEN,
SHE'S HIDING BEHIND SOME
BUSINESSWOMAN AND HER BRIEFCASE,
CELLULAR PHONE. YOU KNOW
WHAT?
I THINK I EVEN CAUGHT HER
TONIGHT DOING THE BLADE
DANCE.
I GUESS YOU MUST HAVE HIT YOUR
HEAD HARDER THAN I THOUGHT.
NO, NO. COME ON. ADMIT IT!
YOU WERE OUT THERE DOIN'
THE BLADE DANCE.
NO, YOU'RE SADLY MISTAKEN.
I THINK YOU WERE.
NO... I THINK YOU'VE GOT ALL THE
STEPS RIGHT
OK, YOU LEAD NOW, ALL
RIGHT?
NO, I LEAVE.
WATCH YOUR STEP.
YEAH. TAKE CARE OF THAT CUT
FACE, BOY.
(Phone rings)
IT'S ME. Rob... Spivak. How
was the game?
WHICH ONE? What's that mean?
I GAVE THE LOCAL BOYS AN
ULTIMATUM.
Guess it worked. I can be back
in the office in 20...
NO MEETINGS UNTIL FRIDAY.
Nobody told Winans that.
He was at the office when I left
2 hours ago.
TOM. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CALL
YOU BACK LATER.
SORRY I'M SO LATE, I DIDN'T
REALIZE WE WERE HAVING A
MEETING.
HI. ROBERTA STEELE.
JOHN GARRISON,
ROBBIE, NEVILLE FLEMING, WESLEY
LANE, THIS IS TRAVIS NOE, YOU
KNOW MERRIL...
WE'VE MET.
AND WAYNE
WILSON. NICE TO MEET YOU.
SO, WHAT'S GOING ON? ARE WE
TAKING ON A NEW CLIENT?
PETE, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE MERRIL
AND OUR GUESTS ON AHEAD TO THE
RESTAURANT,
AND I'LL JOIN YOU SHORTLY.
SURE THING! THIS
WAY GENTLEMEN.
ROBBS, YOU'RE
WELCOME TO TAGALONG
IF YOU WANT.
WELL... THIS WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A
SURPRISE.
OH, BUT IT IS.
WHAT'S THIS?
OPEN IT.
JUST A LITTLE TOKEN OF MY
APPRECIATION.
YOU HAVE EXCEEDED ALL MY
EXPECTATIONS.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
A LITTLE THANK YOU. IT WAS YOUR
IDEA ACTUALLY.
WHAT WAS MY IDEA?
MOVING THE TEAM.
YOU JUST MET THE NEW OWNERS OF
THE MINNESOTA BLADES.
THIS WAS YOUR STRATEGY
FROM THE START.
IT WAS A NEGOTIATING TACTIC. A
PLOY.
LOOK, THIS DEAL BENEFITS ALL OF
US.
AND BELIEVE ME, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
LEFT OUT.
BUT, THIS IS WAY TOO SOON...
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THE
TEAM... OR THE TOWN...
FAIR? WE DIDN'T WANT FAIR - WE
WANTED TO WIN.
THIS DEAL MAKES YOU ONE OF THE
WINNERS,
NOT TO MENTION, ONE VERY WEALTHY
WOMAN.
HAROLD, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
TALK TO WINANS ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE
I'M NOT SURE I CAN GO ALONG WITH
IT.
GO ALONG WITH IT?
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.
WHEN THIS MOVE HAPPENS,
AND IT WILL HAPPEN,
YOU WILL TAKE THE CREDIT ALONG
WITH THE BLAME.
YOU THINK MERRIL WINANS THOUGHT
TWICE ABOUT THIS DEAL?
YOU THINK HE'S A BIG FAN OF
YOURS?
YOU NEARLY BLEW THIS FOR ALL OF
US.
HE TOLERATES YOU.
BUT HE DOES NOT RESPECT YOU.
HE WILL MOVE THIS TEAM,
AND WHEN HE DOES,
YOU'LL HAVE FINALLY MADE A NAME
FOR YOURSELF.
YOU'LL BE THE MOST HATED WOMAN
IN CANADA.

THEN AGAIN, I GUESS IT ISN'T
NEWS TO YOU, IS IT?
HEY, NICE WATCH...
WELL, YOU SURE HAD ME FOOLED.
I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT
COMING THOUGH.
MUST BE ONE SWEET DEAL.
WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME, CODY?
I'VE GOT TO GO ALONG WITH MY
CLIENT'S WISHES.
I'VE GOT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR
THE TEAM.
AND WHAT'S BEST FOR ROBERTA
STEELE TOO...
SAYS HERE YOU GET 4% OWNERSHIP
AND A BIG PROMOTION.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WALK OVER
A FEW DEAD BODIES ON THE WAY UP
TO THE TOP.
WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING ON
TELLING ME?
OR WAS THAT WHAT THE
OTHER NIGHT WAS ALL
ABOUT?
I JUST FOUND OUT MYSELF.
C'MON ROBBIE...
THERE'S NO REASON FOR ANYBODY TO
BELIEVE ME.
BUT BLOOM DID THE DEAL HIMSELF.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
BLOOM'S NOT EVEN
MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE.
BUT YOU'RE ALL OVER IT.
THEY MUST BE SINGING YOUR
PRAISES DOWN IN THE
STATES.
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH.
THEN PROVE IT.
PUT A STOP TO IT.
IT'S UN-STOPPABLE! I'VE MADE
CERTAIN OF THAT.
AND IF I FIGHT HIM AND LOSE, I
HAVE NOTHING!
EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED FOR IS
GONE!
WHO'S HIDING OUT NOW?
WHAT WAS IT YOU SAID TO ME
BEFORE? WHEN THE GOING GETS
ROUGH...
C'MON, CODY! MY JOB IS WHO I AM!
I'VE HAD TO FIGHT EVERY STEP OF
THE WAY UP.
AND NOW THAT I CAN FINALLY SEE
THE TOP,
YOU COME ALONG AND SAY
"OH SORRY, WRONG MOUNTAIN, COME
BACK DOWN AND TRY THIS ONE?"
YOU HAD TO FIND THAT OUT
FOR YOURSELF.
WHY NOT WHEN I WAS STARTING THE
CLIMB?
WHY NOW, WHEN I'M THIS CLOSE,
WHEN I THINK I'VE GOT IT ALL
FIGURED OUT,
GOD COMES ALONG AND CHANGES THE
RULES.
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR!
WHO TOLD YOU IT'D BE
FAIR?
GOD'S PLAYING A WHOLE
OTHER GAME.
HE WANTS YOU TO WIN.
HE WANTS TO WIN YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT
UP WITH HIM.
I'M SO SORRY.
I KNOW THAT I SHOULD. BUT I
CAN'T.

(Billy Graham) WHEN YOU COME TO
HIM TO PRAY, MAKE IT SIMPLE.
SAY, "LORD, I LOVE YOU." THAT'S
A PRAYER.
SAY, "OH GOD, I CONFESS MY

AND THEN YOU CAN START TELLING
HIM ALL ABOUT YOUR NEEDS
AND YOUR PROBLEMS AND YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS,
AND HE KNOWS IT ALREADY. HE
WANTS TO HEAR YOU SAY IT
SO YOU'RE DEPENDING ON HIM TO
HELP YOU.
PLEASE, GOD, PLEASE JESUS...
IF YOU'RE A SAVIOR...
I REALLY NEED A SAVIOR...
(Lawn mower engine)
UH OH.
HI MOM.
SHE'S HERE!
WHO'S HERE?
THE TERMINATOR!
ROBBS?
I'M SORRY, I KNOW IT'S SATURDAY.
BUT I NEED YOU TO GET THE
INVESTORS TOGETHER.
MEET US AT THIS ADDRESS?
(Robbie) I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU
ALL FOR COMING ON SUCH SHORT
NOTICE.
I'M SURE YOU'VE READ THE PAPER.
I OWN THE PAPER!
GENTLEMEN, LET'S GIVE MS. STEEL
A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN HERSELF.
I STAND TO LOSE A QUARTER OF A
MILLION DOLLARS
IN DEVELOPMENT FEES IF THIS
BLOWS UP.
I'M AFRAID I CAN'T OFFER YOU
MORE THAN AN APOLOGY.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
THE TRUTH IS... I DON'T THINK I
CAN STOP THIS.
IF MINNESOTA WANTS TO MOVE THE
TEAM, THE TEAM WILL MOVE.
I TRULY REGRET THE CULPABILITY I
BEAR IN THIS.
OH, THAT'S JUST GREAT!
I THOUGHT YOU TOLD US YOU DIDN'T
KNOW.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT BLOOM PLANNED
TO MOVE THE TEAM.
I DID KNOW HE WANTED TO UP THE
ANTE.
IT WAS MY JOB TO MAKE SURE THAT
HAPPENED.
YOU TREATED ME AS A FELLOW
WORKER, YOU TRUSTED ME,
AND I DECEIVED YOU...
FOR THAT, I AM PROFOUNDLY SORRY.
SO, THAT'S IT? IT'S OVER?
SO WE'RE JUST
GIVING UP?
OK. YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM MY
LAWYER.
WELL, THERE GOES A LITTLE PIECE
OF CANADA.
A LITTLE PIECE OF CANADA...
HE'S EXTREMELY BUSY.
MORNING, NANCY.
MS. STEELE, YOU CAN'T GO IN
THERE!
ROBERTA! WE'RE
HAVING A CONFERENCE.
I DIDN'T COME TO TALK TO YOU
HAROLD, I CAME TO TALK TO MR.
WINANS.
I SAID WE'RE HAVING
A CONFERENCE...
HERE HARRY. READ THIS.
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S A REQUEST FOR AN
INJUNCTION
PREVENTING A MOVE UNTIL THE
COURT CAN DETERMINE
THE ECONOMIC RAMIFICATIONS TO
THE COMMUNITY.
NOW, MR. WINANS...
I WANT YOU TO FORGET ALL ABOUT
THE OFFER FROM THE STATES.
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?
NO, ACTUALLY, I THINK I'VE
JUST REGAINED IT.
YOU'RE TOO LATE.
I'VE ALREADY GIVEN MY WORD TO
MINNESOTA.
AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT
THAT'S WORTH.
NOW, MR. WINANS, I'M GIVING YOU
AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE RIGHT
THING,
TO SAVE MONEY, AND TO SAVE FACE.
SAVE FACE?
THIS DEAL. IT'S NO GOOD.
I WANT YOU TO RECONSIDER FOR THE
FOLLOWING REASONS.
#1: THE BLADES BELONGS IN
VANCOUVER.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS
TOWN.
ALL I CARE ABOUT IS
MONEY.
2: YOU'LL LOSE MONEY.
CITIZENS HAVE ALREADY ORGANIZED
TO BOYCOTT YOUR BUSINESSES AND
PICKET YOUR OFFICES.
ROBERTA, THIS IS A DONE DEAL.
NOW GO STAND OUTSIDE THE DOOR
UNTIL I CALL FOR YOU. GO ON.
BOYS, WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN
TO THE COMMISSARY
AND HAVE A COFFEE FOR A
MOMENT.
GO AHEAD GUYS. GO ON.
EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED TO
KNOW ABOUT EMINENT DOMAIN.
EMINENT DOMAIN?
A LITTLE CASE I'VE BEEN WORKING
ON.
YOU TELL HIM ABOUT IT HARRY.
WELL... UNDER CANADIAN AND
INTERNATIONAL LAW, A SOVEREIGN
POWER...
IN THIS CASE, THE CITY OF
VANCOUVER...
IS ENTITLED TO POSSESSION OF
PROPERTY...
IN THIS INSTANCE, THE BLADES...
IF ITS LOSS IS DEEMED
DETRIMENTAL
TO... TO THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC.
WELL, THAT'S FINE, HARRY, BUT
JUST ONE THING -
THE BLADES AREN'T A PIECE OF
REAL ESTATE.
AND I QUOTE,
"BUYING THE BLADES IS LIKE
OWNING A LITTLE PIECE OF
CANADA."
CAN SHE DO THAT?
ROBBIE, YOU'RE NOT BEING FAIR.
I'D BE FORCED TO SELL THE TEAM
TO THE CITY?
AT "FAIR" MARKET PRICE,
LESS ANY BACK RENT YOU OWE ON
THAT LEASE AT THE COLISEUM.
WHY?
WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS TO ME?
BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING
ISN'T RIGHT.
IT MAY BE LEGAL, BUT IT'S
NOT ETHICAL.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!!
THERE HAS TO BE.
THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR INVITING A
WOMAN INTO THE FIRM.
HAVE A NICE DAY, GENTLEMEN.
I LOVE THIS.
NOW I SEE WHY YOU LOVE
THE MOUNTAINS.
EASIER TO FILTER OUT THE
NOISE AND HEAR GOD'S
VOICE.
(Car horn)
THEN AGAIN,
WHY RISK WIND SHEARS WHEN
YOU GOT A PERFECTLY GOOD
PARK
RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM
THE OFFICE?
HOW'S THE READING COMING?
I CAN'T GET THROUGH THE FIRST
CHAPTER.
EVERY VERSE IS...
SO... YOU'RE NOT OUT
JOB HUNTING?
NAH. I THINK I'M GOING TO TOUGH
IT OUT.
BESIDES, I THINK BLOOM MAY BE
LOOKING AT AN EARLY RETIREMENT
AFTER TONIGHT'S TOWN MEETING.
THOUGHT OF BECOMING A SPORTS
AGENT?
'CAUSE I KNOW AN OLD VET WHO CAN
STILL USE REPRESENTATION.
I'LL PRAY ABOUT IT.
REALLY?
YA, I'M TAKING SOME TIME TO
CLIMB THE RIGHT MOUNTAIN...
SEE WHAT GOD
REALLY WANTS FOR ME.
AND YOU SHOULD KNOW,
I TAKE 25%.
OH, FORGET IT.
THAT'S NOT FAIR!
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
CROSS CHECK!
(Boy) WELL, THERE'S NO CHECKING.
YOU'RE A GOALIE. NOW GO SIT IN
THE PENALTY BOX.
GET HER!

SCORES!!
WHERE DO YOU THINK A KID GETS
THAT?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT IF I
EVER SEE HER AGAIN, SHE'S
GOT A JOB.
YA, YOU'LL
REPRESENT HER, HUH?
YA, SHE'S YOUNG.
OH... HO, HO, HO.
FIND THE VERSE YET? YEAH, HERE
IT IS.

ABOUT REAL POWER.

GENTLEMEN! PLEASE... SIT. SORRY
TO KEEP YOU ALL WAITING.
GLAD YOU COULD MAKE IT STEELE.
THANKS... MERRIL WINANS
WAS UNABLE TO JOIN US
THIS MORNING,
BUT WE DO HAVE HIM ON
SPEAKERPHONE.
MERRIL? CAN YOU HEAR US?
I'm listening.
ON BEHALF OF MYSELF AND THE
CITY, WE'D LIKE TO THANK
YOU FOR GIVING US ANOTHER SHOT
AT KEEPING THE BLADES HERE IN
VANCOUVER.
HAVE YOU CONSIDERED OUR OFFER?
I have considered your offer.
AND WE "CONSIDERED" IT
INSULTING.
NOW, SHALL WE CUT TO THE CHASE
AND DISCUSS A SERIOUS OFFER?
WE HAVE COMMITMENTS OF
$75,000,000, MERRIL.
IT'S MR. WINANS' PREFERENCE,
GENTLEMEN, TO KEEP THE CLUB IN
VANCOUVER,
BUT I THINK YOU SHOULD KNOW THAT
WE HAVE TALKED TO THE
COMMISSIONER...
And I have license to shop my
team.
TELL US, WHY SHOULD THESE LOCAL
BUSINESSMEN
SINK MORE THAN $60,000,000 INTO
A LOSING TEAM?
(Robbie) #1: CIVIC PRIDE.
YOU'VE SAID IT YOURSELF MR.
MAYOR,
THE BLADES ARE A PIECE OF THIS
CITY.
A LITTLE PIECE OF
CANADA.
#2: PR. YOU'RE ALL IN
CUSTOMER-POWERED
BUSINESSES.
IT'S INSTANT PUBLICITY
FOR THE WHITE KNIGHTS WHO
SAVE THE BLADES.
WELL, THAT'S FINE, BUT PRIDE AND
PR DON'T PAY THE POWER BILL.
NICE ALLITERATION. WHICH
BRINGS US TO POINT #3.
AS OF NOON ON FRIDAY,
THE BLADES WILL NO LONGER BE
CELLAR DWELLERS IN THE DIVISION.
PENDING A FEW MINOR DETAILS,
CODY HARRIS WILL SIGN
TO FINISH THIS SEASON AND PLAY
THE NEXT 3 FOR THE BLADES.
CODY HARRIS? I THOUGHT THAT GOON
HAD RETIRED.
WHY DIDN'T YOU BRING HIM UP
BEFORE THIS?
I WAS SAVING THE BEST FOR LAST.
ROBERTA'S BEEN PURSUING
HIM FOR SOME TIME.
WHEN THE KINGS SIGNED GRETZKY,
THEY SAW AN IMMEDIATE 22%
INCREASE IN TICKET SALES
AND THEIR FIRST SHOT AT THE
STANLEY CUP IN YEARS.
WELL, CODY HARRIS CERTAINLY PUTS
A NEW SPIN ON THINGS.
WE'D LIKE AN HOUR TO DISCUSS
THIS.
TAKE YOUR TIME. THINK IT OVER.
BUT DON'T TAKE TOO
LONG.
WINANS INTENDS TO TAKE THE
FIRST BONAFIDE OFFER.
(Winans) Good day, gentlemen.
GREAT EXIT! DRAMA! GOOD!
ADDRESS?
FOUND HIS
GREAT! MOTHER.
NOT REALLY. SHE'S RESTING
PEACEFULLY AT HAPPY VALLEY

MS. STEELE? KNUTSON CALLED ABOUT
THAT OTHER...
OH, RAILROAD RIGHT OF WAY -
OK,
GET ME EVERYTHING YOU CAN FIND
ON "EMINENT DOMAIN."
"EMINENT DOMAIN." DONE.
GIMME A SECOND.
(Winans) WHAT DID YOU THINK YOU
WERE DOING IN THERE?
YOU WEREN'T SERIOUSLY
CONSIDERING THAT OFFER?
I WASN'T? $60,000,000 IS MORE
THAN A FAIR PRICE FOR MY TEAM.
I DON'T WANT "FAIR," I WANT
TO WIN.
TALK TO ME ABOUT CODY HARRIS.
NO SIGNED DEAL YET.
WE'RE HOPING TO FIND HIM...
AMENABLE... TO OUR OFFER.
HE'S GOING TO DRIVE THE PRICE UP
BY MILLIONS. TRUST ME.
IF THIS DEAL GOES SOUTH, AND I
END UP THE LOSER,
I'M GOING TO HIT THIS FIRM SO
HARD,
IT'LL KNOCK YOUR NAME RIGHT OFF
THE FRONT DOOR.
AND YOU, CAN TRUST ME!

THEY HAVE UNTIL YOU TAKE IT
AWAY.
WHAT ARE YOU
SUGGESTING?
FUEL THE RUMORS THAT THE TEAM IS
ON THE MOVE. DRIVE UP THE PRICE.
WE GET HARRIS BY
FRIDAY, RIGHT?
NOT A PROBLEM.
(Airplane engine)
(Pilot) GRAB THE STICK WILL YOU?
WHAT'RE YOU DOING?
THANK YOU.
I DROPPED MY CIGAR.
I THOUGHT YOU SAID YOU FLEW
ALL THE TIME.
YA. JET ENGINES, SAFETY BELTS,
WINE AND CHEESE.
(Bloof!) WHAT WAS THAT?
WIND SHEAR. IT'S OK.
IT MIGHT MAKE YOU A LITTLE
AIRSICK.
AND YOU ONLY OCCASIONALLY
LOSE CONTROL OF THE
AIRCRAFT.
WELL, HOW DO YOU SEE THEM TO
AVOID THEM?
YOU DRIVE.
(Louder engine noise)
WATCH OUT GETTING OUT OF
THE PLANE.
(Pilot) ASPIRIN?
YES, PLEASE.
BAIT SHOP... 2 K.
RIGHT. HOW ABOUT A RENTAL CAR?
BAIT SHOP... 2 K.
BAIT SHOP... 2 K.
(Woman) UM, NICE ONE. C'MON.
AHH. NICE ONE. AHH. GOODNESS.
AH, GOOD MORNING.
(Robbie) I'M LOOKING FOR A MR.
CODY HARRIS.
I UNDERSTAND HE LIVES AROUND
HERE.
JUST OUTSIDE OF
TOWN.
THERE'S A TOWN?
YOU'RE LOOKING
AT IT.
I WAS TOLD I MIGHT BE ABLE TO
RENT A CAR HERE?
YOU'RE LOOKING AT 'EM.
TAKE CREDIT CARDS? (Woman
chuckles & laughs)
(Bloof!)
HEY! GET OFF! COME ON BOYS.
I'M SORRY. YOU LOST?
NOT IF ONE OF YOU IS
CODY HARRIS.
AGENT OR LAWYER?
I BEG YOUR PARDON?
NEVER MIND. I'M SORRY.
THIS IS JOSEPH, DOG OF MANY
COLORS.
AND THAT'S ABBY... ABEDNEGO.
SURVIVED A FOREST FIRE LAST
SUMMER.
AND YOU'RE...
ROBERTA... ROBBIE.
SURVIVED THE PLANE
TRIP HERE.
I'VE BEEN RETAINED BY THE
VANCOUVER BLADES TO SECURE
YOUR SERVICES.
LAWYER. YOU'RE TRESPASSING.
WAIT. DON'T YOU WANT TO HEAR
THE OFFER?
I'M NOT IN THAT LINE OF WORK
ANYMORE!
I THINK YOU OWE ME AT LEAST 10
MINUTES!
LOOK, I DON'T WANT TO BE
RUDE...
TOO LATE.
I MOVED UP HERE TO GET
AWAY FROM LAWYERS AND
AGENTS OK?
SO THANKS, BUT NO
THANKS...
LISTEN MISTER HARRIS... DROP
IT!!
I TRAVELED 400 MILES IN A TIN
CAN WITH WINGS
TO HAVE EVERYTHING I OWN EITHER
COVERED IN SALIVA OR...
I'M GOING ON A HIKE. I'LL GIVE
YOU 5 MINUTES WHEN I GET BACK.
I'D LOVE A HIKE!
WE'LL SEE.
(Splashing)
(Robbie) IT WOULD BE A 5-YEAR
CONTRACT!
(Splash)
NAH. I'M FINE. GO AHEAD.
(Robbie) SO, I'M GUARANTEEING
$4,000,000, A PERCENTAGE AND
MARKETING.
THE PRICE HAS GONE UP.
SO THAT'S WHAT IT'S ABOUT.
IF THAT'S WHAT IT WAS
ABOUT,
I'D STILL BE ON THE ICE
RIGHT NOW.
WELL... WHAT DO YOU WANT?
TO BE LEFT ALONE.
YOU HATE ALL WOMEN OR IS IT JUST
ME?
JUST YOU.
I LIKE HIM SO MUCH!
YOU WANT TO HELP ME WITH SOME OF
THIS STUFF?
SURE!
WHAT'RE YOU DOING. YOU CAN'T DO
THAT. THIS IS MY LIFE!
WHAT KIND OF LIFE IS
THAT?
MINE!
TRUST ME.
THE SQUIRRELS ARE
PRETTY HONEST.
BUT YOU CAN'T TRUST
ABEDNEGO.
WOOF WOOF!
AHH!
YOU DO THIS A LOT?
GIVES ME PERSPECTIVE.
IS THAT WHY YOU WALKED AWAY?
NOSEY TOO, HUH?
SORRY.
I WAS MARRIED... AND DIVORCED.
SHE LEFT ME, AND A LARGE PART OF
ME WENT WITH HER.
I DON'T BLAME HER THOUGH. I'VE
DONE THINGS I WASN'T TOO PROUD
OF.
BUT AROUND THAT TIME ANOTHER
PLAYER STARTED TALKING TO ME
ABOUT GOD.
HOW I COULD HAVE A PERSONAL
RELATIONSHIP... WITH GOD.
SO I BECAME A CHRISTIAN.
OH. WELL THAT EXPLAINS THE
FRIENDLY WELCOME.
SORRY.
WHY WOULD GOD WANT YOU TO
GIVE UP WHAT YOU DO BEST?
IT WASN'T THE HOCKEY.
IT WAS THE MONEY, THE CARS...
THE MONEY.
THINGS WE ALL FACE EVERY
DAY.
UNLESS, OF COURSE, WE'RE
HIDING OUT ON A MOUNTAIN
SOMEPLACE.
I WALKED AWAY TO FIND OUT WHAT
GOD REALLY WANTED FOR ME.
MAYBE GOD WANTED HOCKEY
FOR YOU.
NOT THE WAY I PLAYED IT.
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO WIN,
SOMEBODY'S GOT TO LOSE.
YOU PLAY TO WIN.
TO WIN WHAT?
CHAMPIONSHIPS. THE STANLEY CUP.
WHAT ABOUT YOU?
THE SAME. I WANT THE
"TROPHIES", THE MONEY, THE
CARS...
THE MONEY... AND STUFF.
THAT'LL MAKE YOU HAPPY?
YA... THAT AND YOUR
SIGNATURE ON A CONTRACT.

WE'RE STOPPED. WHY ARE WE

(Grunting... Whoa!!)
(Gurgling)
UH... THAT'S BETTER.
I DON'T KNOW HOW MUCH MORE
OF THIS BEAUTIFUL SCENERY I
CAN TAKE.
HI!
HI!
Y'KNOW, I GREW UP ON A RIVER
JUST LIKE THIS.
LITTLE NORTH FROM HERE.
CALLED "JACK STONE CREEK."
JACK STONE CREEK.
IT WOULD FREEZE OVER IN THE
WINTERTIME.
AND, FOR 3 MONTHS MY FATHER AND
I HAD OUR OWN PRIVATE ICE RINK.
BUT IT'S NOT AS SIMPLE AS HOW
YOU REMEMBER IT, IS IT?
I WAS LUCKY TO SEE MY DAD ONCE
EVERY 3 MONTHS.
MILITARY.
SO, WHAT'D I SAY THAT FINALLY
WON YOU OVER?
YOU DIDN'T FAIL BY COMING UP
HERE.
WELL, THAT'S GOT "NO"
WRITTEN ALL OVER IT.
ROBBIE, I WANT TO APOLOGIZE FOR
BEING SO HARD ON YOU BEFORE.
HEY LOOK, I'M SPEAKING WEDNESDAY
NIGHT. I'D LIKE YOU TO BE THERE.
MAYBE THIS WAS ALL FOR A REASON.
THAT'S SWEET.
BUT I THINK I'LL PASS.
YOU KNOW, FOR A MOMENT UP THERE
ON THAT MOUNTAIN,
I ALMOST SAW IN YOU THAT LITTLE
GIRL.
LITTLE PERSON...
LITTLE PERSON.
GOD WANTS US TO COME TO HIM.
LIKE LITTLE PERSONS.
NO MONEY, CARS... ANY OF THAT
EXTRA STUFF.
JUST SIMPLE.
WE'RE A LONG WAY FROM JACK STONE
CREEK, CODY.
(Sighs)
COFFEE. BLACK. SET UP AN IV.
WHERE'VE YOU BEEN? HAROLD'S
BEEN...
I KNOW... WHO'S THAT?
KNUTSON. EMINENT
DOMAIN.
WHAT'S HE DOING HERE?
HE'S BEEN SITTING OUTSIDE
YOUR OFFICE FOR 2 DAYS.
THE GOVERNMENT WANTS TO PUT
A FREEWAY THROUGH HIS HOUSE.
NO NEW CLIENTS! GIVE HIM TO
TOBIN.
THIS IS MY DEAL. I'LL FIX IT.
THE INVESTORS BACKED
OUT. THERE IS NO DEAL.
LET ME TALK TO WINANS. I'LL
SMOOTH IT OVER.
DO YOU HAVE CODY
HARRIS?
YES...
WELL
AND NO. HE'S IN TOWN TONIGHT.
AND SPIVAK AND I ARE MEETING
WITH HIM.
(Operator) Steve Stark, line 4.
OK. LAST CHANCE,
ROBBIE.
THE ICE QUEEN!
(Spivak) HEY, HEY KIDS! COME ON.
C'MON ZACK. CARLY, OUT. DADDY'S
IN A HURRY.
(Carly) DON'T SPANK ME!
SORRY.
YOU KNOW ROBBS, YOU GOT A REP
FOR DOING WHATEVER IT TAKES TO
CLOSE A DEAL,
BUT GOING TO A BILLY GRAHAM
CRUSADE...
THIS WILL MAKE YOU A LEGEND.
(Cody) I NEVER HAD THE
OPPORTUNITY TO GO FORWARD AT A
CRUSADE LIKE THIS,
BUT I WISH I HAD.
MANY OF YOU HAVE COME FROM GREAT
DISTANCES TO BE WITH US TONIGHT.
I BELIEVE EVERY ONE OF USE IS
HERE BECAUSE THE HOLY SPIRIT HAS
LEAD US.
EVER BEEN TO ONE OF THESE?
I'M STRICTLY A "C AND E" GUY...
CHRISTMAS AND EASTER.
WHEN BILLY GIVES YOU THE
INVITATION
TO GIVE YOUR HEART TO CHRIST,
REALLY CONSIDER WHOSE TEAM
YOU'RE PLAYING FOR.
GOD'S LOVE IS THE GREATEST POWER
IN THE UNIVERSE.
IT CHANGED HISTORY.
IT CHANGED ME.
AND NOTHING... NOTHING CAN
OVERCOME IT.
(Applause)... THANK YOU.
(Billy Graham) IT WAS NOT HUMAN
WEAKNESS THAT KEPT HIM ON THE
CROSS.
JESUS SAID, "I LAY DOWN MY LIFE
THAT I MIGHT TAKE IT AGAIN.
NO MAN TAKES IT FROM ME, BUT I
LAY IT DOWN OF MYSELF.
I HAVE POWER TO LAY IT DOWN, AND
I HAVE POWER TO TAKE IT UP."
HE HAD NEVER COMMITTED A SIN.
HE'D NEVER DONE ANYTHING WRONG.
HE'D NEVER THOUGHT ANYTHING
EVIL.
HE WAS JUST A LITTLE OVER 30
YEARS OF AGE.
AND THERE HE WAS, HANGING.
IN YOUR PLACE AND MINE.
AND HE COULD LOOK FORWARD
THROUGH THE CENTURIES AND SEE
YOU.
HE SEES YOU, HE SAW YOU THEN, AS
YOU SIT HERE TONIGHT.
HE KNOWS YOUR HEART, HE CAN READ
YOUR MIND.
HE KNOWS WHAT YOU'RE THINKING.
AND HE SAYS "I LOVE YOU. I LOVE
YOU."
FROM THE CROSS THERE'S ONE WORD
THAT COMES OVER AND OVER AGAIN -
LOVE, LOVE, LOVE.
HE LOVES YOU.
AND HE'S WILLING TO FORGIVE YOU
OF ALL YOUR SINS.
SIN IS A FAILURE TO LIVE UP TO
GOD'S ETHICAL AND MORAL
STANDARDS.
AND THE SCRIPTURE SAYS, "ALL
UNRIGHTEOUSNESS IS SIN."
SO WE'RE SINNERS BY NATURE,
WE'RE BORN
WITH THAT SEED WITHIN US, AND
THEN WE'RE SINNERS BY CHOICE.
YOU CHOOSE TO SIN, ON YOUR OWN.
AND THEN YOU'RE SINNERS BY
PRACTICE.
WE SIN EVERY DAY.
EITHER SINS OF OMISSION OR SINS
OF COMMISSION.
YOU HAVE TO REPENT OF SIN.
THAT MEANS YOU SAY TO GOD, "I'M
SORRY I'VE SINNED.
I'M WILLING TO CHANGE MY WAY OF
LIFE.
I CAN'T DO IT MYSELF, I'VE TRIED
AND I'VE FAILED."
BUT THE SPIRIT OF GOD WILL COME
AND HELP YOU TO CHANGE.
(Applause)
GOD WILL HELP YOU TO CHANGE AND
THAT'S REPENTANCE.
YES, THAT VOID IN YOUR LIFE CAN
BE FILLED TONIGHT BY CHRIST.
HE CAN FORGIVE THE PAST,
RECONCILE YOU WITH YOUR HUSBAND
OR YOUR WIFE
OR YOUR CHILDREN OR YOUR FRIENDS
OF BUSINESS.
GIVE YOU A WHOLE NEW DIRECTION
IF YOU WILL RECEIVE HIM.
AND I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO DO
THAT RIGHT NOW.
I'M GOING TO ASK YOU TO GET UP
OUT OF YOUR SEAT,
COME AND STAND IN FRONT OF THE
PLATFORM AND ALL AROUND...
AND BY COMING, YOU'RE GOING TO
SAY,
"I DO TURN FROM MY SIN AS BEST I
CAN WITH GOD'S HELP.
I WANT TO COMMIT MYSELF TO HIM,
AFRESH AND ANEW.
I WANT TO REALLY KNOW CHRIST.
I WANT TO LEAVE HERE WITH
CERTAINTY IN MY HEART.
WE GOTTA FIND OUT WHEN
THEY'RE BRINGING THE
POPCORN HERE...
(Billy Graham) YOU GET UP AND
COME RIGHT NOW.
CAN YOU IMAGINE IF WE COULD GET
A 3RD OF THESE PEOPLE
TO COME SEE HARRIS PLAY INSTEAD
OF PREACH?
WE COULD CLEAN UP... SPIVAK?
(Billy Graham) SO START NOW, IF
YOU COME FROM THE TOP,
BUT DON'T LET DISTANCE KEEP YOU
FROM CHRIST
BECAUSE YOU MAY NEVER HAVE
ANOTHER MOMENT LIKE THIS.
TO BE BORN AGAIN MEANS TO BE
BORN FROM ABOVE.
THE HOLY SPIRIT OF GOD COMES IN
AND GIVES YOU A NEW HEART.
YOU SEE, YOUR OLD NATURE IS NO
GOOD.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A NEW NATURE.
YOU HAVE TO HAVE A NEW HEART.
"A NEW HEART ALSO WILL I GIVE
YOU
AND A NEW SPIRIT WILL ACT QUICK
WITHIN YOU," SAYS EZEKIEL 36.
WHEN YOU COME TO HIM TO PRAY,
MAKE IT SIMPLE.
SAY, "LORD, I LOVE YOU." THAT'S
A PRAYER.
SAY, "OH GOD, I CONFESS MY
SINS." THAT'S A PRAYER.
AND THEN YOU CAN START TELLING
HIM ALL ABOUT YOUR NEEDS
AND YOUR PROBLEMS AND YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS,
AND HE KNOWS IT ALREADY - HE
WANTS TO HEAR YOU SAY IT
SO YOU'RE DEPENDING ON HIM TO
HELP YOU.
(Car engine)
WASN'T SURE YOU'D SHOW. LATE
NIGHT?
IT'S THE LAST THING I
THOUGHT WOULD HAPPEN.
YA, WELL, THAT MAKES 2 OF US.
(Swak)
BUT I CAN UNDERSTAND WHEN YOU
GET OLDER WHY YOU'D WANT TO GO
BACK TO THE CHURCH -
THE EMOTIONAL CRUTCH AND ALL...
SPARE THE PLATITUDES, ROBBIE. I
KNOW WHAT I DID LAST NIGHT.
IT SCARES ME TO DEATH TOO.
(Swak)
I THOUGHT THAT GRAHAM HAD
SOME INTERESTING THINGS
TO SAY.
NO, REALLY I DID.
THOUSANDS OF PEOPLE SHOW
UP TO HEAR SOME GUY QUOTE
THE BIBLE,
HE'S OBVIOUSLY GOT
SOMETHING TO SAY.
YEAH, THAT... SOMETHING AMAZING
HAPPENED TO ME.
I MEAN THERE WAS LIKE... DR.
GRAHAM CALLED IT... PEACE.
I FELT THIS FORGIVENESS I NEVER
FELT...
FORGIVENESS? WHAT'VE YOU
EVER DONE WRONG?
CHEAT AT SCRABBLE?
(Spivak) IT GOES BEYOND WHAT
I'VE DONE WRONG.
IT'S SOMETHING I ALWAYS FELT WAS
MISSING IN MY LIFE.
LAST NIGHT, IT JUST FELT RIGHT.
TIME WILL TELL.
LOOK, I BUY THAT THERE'S SOME
GOD, OR WHATEVER,
WHO MADE THE UNIVERSE,
BUT WHEN IT COMES TO MY OWN
LIFE... I'M RESPONSIBLE FOR ME.
I'VE MADE MYSELF WHAT I
AM.
SURE YOU WANT THAT
RESPONSIBILITY?
THE TRUTH IS... I WISH I COULD
GO GET WHAT YOU GOT
AND HAVE WHAT CODY HAS.
I WISH IT WAS AS SIMPLE, FOR ME.
BUT IT'S JUST NOT.
WHY DO YOU HAVE TO COMPLICATE
IT?
IF I DIDN'T COMPLICATE IT,
I'D REALIZE I HAD NOTHING.
(Swak)
BUT THEN AGAIN, I'LL HIT A
BEAUTY SHOT LIKE THAT ONE,
AND I'LL FORGET ALL ABOUT THE
MEANING OF LIFE AND THE UNIVERSE
AND JUST FOCUS ON WINNING,
BEATING THE OTHER GUY,
CLOSING THE DEAL.
SPEAKING OF WHICH, WHAT DID OUR
DEAR CODY SAY?
SAID HE WAS
PRAYING ABOUT IT.
GREAT!
WE COULD TRY IT.
PRAY? YOU ARE NUTS,
AREN'T YOU?
PRAY THAT CODY WOULD DO THE
RIGHT THING.
YOU CAN DO THAT?
(Phone rings) COMPLETELY INSANE.
HELLO?... UM HUM. YES! GREAT
NEWS, JULIE!
CODY HARRIS IS IN.
AND WE DIDN'T EVEN HAVE TO PRAY!
WINANS CALLED FOR THE FOURTH
TIME AT 9:15.
HE WANTS TO SPEAK WITH YOU
IMMEDIATELY.
AND THIS WAS JUST DELIVERED TO
MR. SPIVAK FROM A CODY HARRIS.
OPEN IT. SHOW ME
CONTRACTS.
THAT'S A CONTRACT.
MS. STEELE? MR. HARRIS IS
WAITING FOR YOU IN YOUR
OFFICE.
(Knocking)
(Robbie) EXCUSE ME, MISS STEELE?
JUST WANTED TO SEE WHAT IT WAS
LIKE IN THE HOT SEAT.
NICE JERSEY. DOES IT FIT?
YEAH, FITS JUST FINE.
GOTTA FIND A WAY TO GET MY NAME
AND NUMBER ON THE BACK THOUGH.
I'LL SEW IT ON MYSELF.
LISTEN, BEFORE WE SIGN
CONTRACTS, A COUPLE OF
THINGS...
OH BOY. HERE WE GO!
DON'T BELIEVE WHAT
YOU READ IN THE PAPERS.
THE TEAM IS STAYING IN TOWN.
GOOD. YOU SHOULD KNOW WHAT KIND
OF PLAYER YOU'RE GETTING.
I'VE MADE A
COMMITMENT TO JESUS CHRIST.
I WON'T PLAY
MY OLD GAME ANYMORE.
I WON'T PLAY DIRTY.
YOU'RE SAYING?
YOU DID YOUR RESEARCH.
I TOOK A LOT OF GUYS OUT OF THE
GAME FOR AWHILE.
BROKEN NOSES... BROKEN TIBIAS,
THAT KIND OF THING.
SEE, I THOUGHT IT WAS OK THEN
BECAUSE IT WAS MY BUSINESS.
I GET THE ANALOGY. BUT I HAVEN'T
BROKEN ANY TIBIAS LATELY,
THANK YOU VERY MUCH.
YEAH, MAYBE NOT.
YOU KNOW WHAT? YOU AND I ARE AN
AWFUL LOT ALIKE...
TO DO WHAT YOU DO, YOU HAVE TO
PUT YOUR BLINDERS ON.
SOONER OR LATER YOU'RE GONNA RUN
INTO SOMETHING PAINFUL.
WE'LL SIGN CONTRACTS LATER.
PRESS CONFERENCE AT NOON.
HEY, THEN YOU BETTER GET STARTED
WORKING ON THIS.
GET OUT OF MY CHAIR!
HA, HA, HA!
(Fans cheering)
HE HASN'T LOST MUCH?
A LITTLE SPEED MAYBE. BUT,
I CAN COUNT THE NUMBER OF
GUYS ON ONE HAND THAT CAN
DO BETTER.
(Boom, splat)
(Loud cheering)
SO HOW'D YOU GET HIM BACK,
ROBBIE?
HE LOVES THE GAME. I JUST HAD TO
REMIND HIM.
WELL, HE'S A BIG DRAW. NEXT
COUPLE OF GAMES WILL TELL.
COUPLE OF GAMES? A FULL SEASON
WITH THIS GUY,
AND YOU'LL START THINKING ABOUT
BUILDING A BIGGER VENU
BUT THE CLOCK IS TICKING,
GENTLEMEN.
WE'RE GETTING SOME HEAT
FROM THE U.S.
I WOULDN'T TAKE A COUPLE
GAMES.

ISN'T IT, RYAN?
YEAH, IT IS. YOU GOT TO WONDER
TOO, UP THERE IN THE OWNER'S
BOX.
I MEAN, THAT PLAYS A PART TOO,
AND
ROBERTA STEELE IS APPARENTLY THE
LADY WHO HAS DONE IT.
THEY CALL HER "THE
TERMINATOR" RYAN.
I'M NOT GOING TO TOUCH THAT
COLIN.
JUST TO KNOW THAT YOU'VE GOT ONE

THAT CAN PUT THE PUCK IN THE

IT MAKES A HUGE DIFFERENCE NOT

BUT TO THIS GREAT CROWD THAT'S

(Colin) CODY HARRIS WITH THE

OH, A WICKED SLASH FROM MONROE
THERE!
THEY'VE GOT EACH OTHER IN A
STRANGLE HOLD.
A COUPLE OF PUNCHES...
WAIT A MINUTE, HARRIS, HARRIS IS
SKATING AWAY.
MUNRO IS... OH, A WICKED PUNCH
FROM BEHIND!
CLOCKED CODY HARRIS.
(Ryan) THAT SUCKER PUNCH HAS GOT
TO GET OUT OF THE GAME.
JUST CAN'T HAVE THAT HAPPEN IN
THE GAME OF HOCKEY.
(Colin) THAT'S NOT A NICE
INCIDENT AT ALL.
THE LINESMEN ARE SEPARATING THEM
NOW.
TAKING THEM AWAY TO THE PENALTY
BOXES.
THE PENALTIES SHOULD SHAKE DOWN
HERE IMMEDIATELY.
SEE WHO GETS THE EXTRA
MINUTES...
(Ryan) YOU KNOW COLIN, MUNRO'S
GOT TO GET SOME EXTRA MINUTES
FOR THAT.
YOU JUST CAN'T DO THAT IN THE
GAME OF HOCKEY. THAT'S JUST NO
GOOD.
(Colin) YOU GOT TO WONDER
THOUGH.
CERTAINLY, THESE 2 HAVE SQUARED
OFF BEFORE
AND A VERY DIFFERENT APPROACH
HERE FOR CODY HARRIS.
I WONDER, IS THE LIFESTYLE
GETTING IN THE WAY?
(Colin) WELL. POSSIBLY. YOU
KNOW, DISCIPLINE'S A PART OF THE
GAME.
I MEAN THE COACH WANTS YOU TO BE
DISCIPLINED,
BUT ON THE OTHER HAND YOU NEED
TO RESPOND.
IT'LL BE INTERESTING TO SEE HOW
IT AFFECTS HIS GAME.
EXACTLY! CAN HE SCORE
WITH THIS NEW ATTITUDE?
HE'S CERTAINLY NOT THE
BAD BOY OF HOCKEY
THESE FANS HAVE COME TO
KNOW AND LOVE.
(Robbie) YOU SHOULDA' FINISHED
HIM OFF!
WE PAY YOU GOOD MONEY TO
HIT PEOPLE!
YEAH, WELL... DO UNTO
OTHERS BEFORE THEY DO
UNTO YOU!!
THE VENUE HOLDS 14,500.
TONIGHT WE CAME IN AT JUST OVER
14,000.
THAT'S A 28% INCREASE OVER 3

THAT'S UNBELIEVABLE.
ACTUALLY, IT'S EXACTLY WHAT I
SAID WOULD HAPPEN.
FIRST BONAFIDE OFFER
GENTLEMEN.
I WANT A DEAL.
WE SIGNED CODY TO CLOSE, AND MY
CLIENT WANTS TO SELL.
IF A TOWN THIS FIRED UP FOR A
HOCKEY TEAM
CAN'T GET TOGETHER THE
$100,000,000,
THEN I GUESS SOMEBODY ELSE WILL.
$100,000,000?
THAT'D BE A MISTAKE. THE FANS
ARE LOOKING...
IT'S NOT ABOUT THE FANS,
GENTLEMEN.
AND YOU CAN'T TAKE A HANDSHAKE
TO THE BANK.
SO GET BACK TO ME. FRIDAY BY 4.

SO THIS IS THE MYSTERIOUS
POST-GAME RITUAL?
I GUESS I'M ALWAYS SORT OF

(Swock)
THIS IS NICE.

I REALLY LOVE THIS OLD
PLACE.
IT'S ONE OF THE REASONS
I CAME BACK.
ANY OTHERS?
SOMETHING YOU SAID
ABOUT... HIDING OUT.
SORRY ABOUT, YOU KNOW, EARLIER.
NO, YOU WERE RIGHT.
YOU'RE PAYING MONEY FOR A
BRAWLER. AND I'M HIDING
OUT.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN?
I'M SORRY, ROBB'S. IT JUST
AIN'T WORKIN' OUT.
SO THE GOING GETS TOUGH, AND THE
TOUGH CLIMB BACK UP THEIR
MOUNTAIN?
I THOUGHT IT COULD
WORK...
YA - AS LONG AS THERE WEREN'T
ANY RISKS? RIGHT?
WELL, YOU CAN'T LEAVE.
YOU'RE UNDER CONTRACT.
CONTRACT? WOW.
THAT'S THE WAY YOU STILL
THINK ABOUT ME?
I GUESS I SHOULDN'T HAVE
EXPECTED ANY MORE OUT OF
YOU.
WHAT DO YOU MEAN BY THAT?
WHAT I MEAN IS THAT NO
MATTER HOW MUCH YOU PRETEND
TO CARE,
YOU'RE ALWAYS LOOKIN' OUT
FOR NUMBER ONE.
I CARE ABOUT THIS TEAM. AND I
DON'T THINK IT SETS A VERY GOOD
EXAMPLE RUNNING AWAY.
I DON'T THINK PUNCHING SOME
GUY'S TEETH OUT
ON NATIONAL TELEVISION IS ALL
THAT GREAT EITHER!
ALRIGHT SO YOU MADE A MISTAKE.
YOU TELL ME YOUR GOD IS
FORGIVING. WELL, IS HE?
OH, YOU KNOW ALL ABOUT GOD NOW?
ALL I KNOW ABOUT GOD IS WHAT
I'VE LEARNED FROM WATCHING YOU.
WHATEVER HE DID IN YOUR LIFE,
IT'S REAL.
EVEN I CAN SEE THAT.
SO CUT YOURSELF A BREAK.
IF YOU WANT TO LEAVE... LEAVE.
BUT JUST KNOW THIS. I DO CARE
ABOUT THIS TEAM.
AND I CARE ABOUT YOU.
WOW. THERE SHE IS AGAIN.
WHAT?
THAT LITTLE GIRL I SAW BACK UP
ON THE MOUNTAIN.
LITTLE PERSON!
I SEE HER EVERY NOW AND
THEN,
SHE'S HIDING BEHIND SOME
BUSINESSWOMAN AND HER BRIEFCASE,
CELLULAR PHONE. YOU KNOW
WHAT?
I THINK I EVEN CAUGHT HER
TONIGHT DOING THE BLADE
DANCE.
I GUESS YOU MUST HAVE HIT YOUR
HEAD HARDER THAN I THOUGHT.
NO, NO. COME ON. ADMIT IT!
YOU WERE OUT THERE DOIN'
THE BLADE DANCE.
NO, YOU'RE SADLY MISTAKEN.
I THINK YOU WERE.
NO... I THINK YOU'VE GOT ALL THE
STEPS RIGHT
OK, YOU LEAD NOW, ALL
RIGHT?
NO, I LEAVE.
WATCH YOUR STEP.
YEAH. TAKE CARE OF THAT CUT
FACE, BOY.
(Phone rings)
IT'S ME. Rob... Spivak. How
was the game?
WHICH ONE? What's that mean?
I GAVE THE LOCAL BOYS AN
ULTIMATUM.
Guess it worked. I can be back
in the office in 20...
NO MEETINGS UNTIL FRIDAY.
Nobody told Winans that.
He was at the office when I left
2 hours ago.
TOM. I'M GOING TO HAVE TO CALL
YOU BACK LATER.
SORRY I'M SO LATE, I DIDN'T
REALIZE WE WERE HAVING A
MEETING.
HI. ROBERTA STEELE.
JOHN GARRISON,
ROBBIE, NEVILLE FLEMING, WESLEY

KNOW MERRIL...
WE'VE MET.

SO, WHAT'S GOING ON? ARE WE

PETE, WHY DON'T YOU TAKE MERRIL
AND OUR GUESTS ON AHEAD TO THE
RESTAURANT,

SURE THING! THIS
WAY GENTLEMEN.
ROBBS, YOU'RE
WELCOME TO TAGALONG
IF YOU WANT.
WELL... THIS WAS
SUPPOSED TO BE A
SURPRISE.
OH, BUT IT IS.
WHAT'S THIS?
OPEN IT.
JUST A LITTLE TOKEN OF MY
APPRECIATION.
YOU HAVE EXCEEDED ALL MY
EXPECTATIONS.
WHAT'S THIS FOR?
A LITTLE THANK YOU. IT WAS YOUR
IDEA ACTUALLY.
WHAT WAS MY IDEA?
MOVING THE TEAM.
YOU JUST MET THE NEW OWNERS OF
THE MINNESOTA BLADES.
THIS WAS YOUR STRATEGY
FROM THE START.
IT WAS A NEGOTIATING TACTIC. A
PLOY.
LOOK, THIS DEAL BENEFITS ALL OF
US.
AND BELIEVE ME, YOU HAVEN'T BEEN
LEFT OUT.
BUT, THIS IS WAY TOO SOON...
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR TO THE
TEAM... OR THE TOWN...
FAIR? WE DIDN'T WANT FAIR - WE
WANTED TO WIN.
THIS DEAL MAKES YOU ONE OF THE
WINNERS,
NOT TO MENTION, ONE VERY WEALTHY
WOMAN.
HAROLD, I'M GOING TO HAVE TO
TALK TO WINANS ABOUT THIS
BECAUSE
I'M NOT SURE I CAN GO ALONG WITH
IT.
GO ALONG WITH IT?
YOU HAVE NO CHOICE.
WHEN THIS MOVE HAPPENS,
AND IT WILL HAPPEN,
YOU WILL TAKE THE CREDIT ALONG
WITH THE BLAME.
YOU THINK MERRIL WINANS THOUGHT
TWICE ABOUT THIS DEAL?
YOU THINK HE'S A BIG FAN OF
YOURS?
YOU NEARLY BLEW THIS FOR ALL OF
US.
HE TOLERATES YOU.
BUT HE DOES NOT RESPECT YOU.
HE WILL MOVE THIS TEAM,
AND WHEN HE DOES,
YOU'LL HAVE FINALLY MADE A NAME
FOR YOURSELF.
YOU'LL BE THE MOST HATED WOMAN
IN CANADA.

(Cody) SEEN THE NEWS?
THEN AGAIN, I GUESS IT ISN'T
NEWS TO YOU, IS IT?
HEY, NICE WATCH...
WELL, YOU SURE HAD ME FOOLED.
I GUESS I SHOULD HAVE SEEN IT
COMING THOUGH.
MUST BE ONE SWEET DEAL.
WHAT DO YOU WANT
FROM ME, CODY?
I'VE GOT TO GO ALONG WITH MY
CLIENT'S WISHES.
I'VE GOT TO DO WHAT'S BEST FOR
THE TEAM.
AND WHAT'S BEST FOR ROBERTA
STEELE TOO...
SAYS HERE YOU GET 4% OWNERSHIP
AND A BIG PROMOTION.
ALL YOU HAVE TO DO IS WALK OVER
A FEW DEAD BODIES ON THE WAY UP
TO THE TOP.
WHEN WERE YOU PLANNING ON
TELLING ME?
OR WAS THAT WHAT THE
OTHER NIGHT WAS ALL
ABOUT?
I JUST FOUND OUT MYSELF.
C'MON ROBBIE...
THERE'S NO REASON FOR ANYBODY TO
BELIEVE ME.
BUT BLOOM DID THE DEAL HIMSELF.
I DIDN'T KNOW.
BLOOM'S NOT EVEN
MENTIONED IN THE ARTICLE.
BUT YOU'RE ALL OVER IT.
THEY MUST BE SINGING YOUR
PRAISES DOWN IN THE
STATES.
I'M TELLING THE TRUTH.
THEN PROVE IT.
PUT A STOP TO IT.
IT'S UN-STOPPABLE! I'VE MADE
CERTAIN OF THAT.
AND IF I FIGHT HIM AND LOSE, I
HAVE NOTHING!
EVERYTHING I'VE WORKED FOR IS
GONE!
WHO'S HIDING OUT NOW?
WHAT WAS IT YOU SAID TO ME
BEFORE? WHEN THE GOING GETS
ROUGH...
C'MON, CODY! MY JOB IS WHO I AM!
I'VE HAD TO FIGHT EVERY STEP OF
THE WAY UP.
AND NOW THAT I CAN FINALLY SEE
THE TOP,
YOU COME ALONG AND SAY
"OH SORRY, WRONG MOUNTAIN, COME
BACK DOWN AND TRY THIS ONE?"
YOU HAD TO FIND THAT OUT
FOR YOURSELF.
WHY NOT WHEN I WAS STARTING THE
CLIMB?
WHY NOW, WHEN I'M THIS CLOSE,
WHEN I THINK I'VE GOT IT ALL
FIGURED OUT,
GOD COMES ALONG AND CHANGES THE
RULES.
IT JUST DOESN'T SEEM FAIR!
WHO TOLD YOU IT'D BE
FAIR?
GOD'S PLAYING A WHOLE
OTHER GAME.
HE WANTS YOU TO WIN.
HE WANTS TO WIN YOU.
WHY DON'T YOU TAKE IT
UP WITH HIM.
I'M SO SORRY.
I KNOW THAT I SHOULD. BUT I
CAN'T.
♪ (Piano/Reflective) ♪
(Billy Graham) WHEN YOU COME TO
HIM TO PRAY, MAKE IT SIMPLE.
SAY, "LORD, I LOVE YOU." THAT'S
A PRAYER.
SAY, "OH GOD, I CONFESS MY
SINS." THAT'S A PRAYER.
AND THEN YOU CAN START TELLING
HIM ALL ABOUT YOUR NEEDS
AND YOUR PROBLEMS AND YOUR
RELATIONSHIPS,
AND HE KNOWS IT ALREADY. HE
WANTS TO HEAR YOU SAY IT
SO YOU'RE DEPENDING ON HIM TO
HELP YOU.
PLEASE, GOD, PLEASE JESUS...
IF YOU'RE A SAVIOR...
I REALLY NEED A SAVIOR...
(Lawn mower engine)
UH OH.
HI MOM.
SHE'S HERE!
WHO'S HERE?
THE TERMINATOR!
ROBBS?
I'M SORRY, I KNOW IT'S SATURDAY.
BUT I NEED YOU TO GET THE
INVESTORS TOGETHER.
MEET US AT THIS ADDRESS?
(Robbie) I'D LIKE TO THANK YOU
ALL FOR COMING ON SUCH SHORT
NOTICE.
I'M SURE YOU'VE READ THE PAPER.
I OWN THE PAPER!
GENTLEMEN, LET'S GIVE MS. STEEL
A CHANCE TO EXPLAIN HERSELF.
I STAND TO LOSE A QUARTER OF A
MILLION DOLLARS
IN DEVELOPMENT FEES IF THIS
BLOWS UP.
I'M AFRAID I CAN'T OFFER YOU
MORE THAN AN APOLOGY.
YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING.
THE TRUTH IS... I DON'T THINK I
CAN STOP THIS.
IF MINNESOTA WANTS TO MOVE THE
TEAM, THE TEAM WILL MOVE.
I TRULY REGRET THE CULPABILITY I
BEAR IN THIS.
OH, THAT'S JUST GREAT!
I THOUGHT YOU TOLD US YOU DIDN'T
KNOW.
I DIDN'T KNOW THAT BLOOM PLANNED
TO MOVE THE TEAM.
I DID KNOW HE WANTED TO UP THE
ANTE.
IT WAS MY JOB TO MAKE SURE THAT
HAPPENED.
YOU TREATED ME AS A FELLOW
WORKER, YOU TRUSTED ME,
AND I DECEIVED YOU...
FOR THAT, I AM PROFOUNDLY SORRY.
SO, THAT'S IT? IT'S OVER?
SO WE'RE JUST
GIVING UP?
OK. YOU'LL BE HEARING FROM MY
LAWYER.
WELL, THERE GOES A LITTLE PIECE
OF CANADA.
A LITTLE PIECE OF CANADA...
HE'S EXTREMELY BUSY.
MORNING, NANCY.
MS. STEELE, YOU CAN'T GO IN
THERE!
ROBERTA! WE'RE
HAVING A CONFERENCE.
I DIDN'T COME TO TALK TO YOU
HAROLD, I CAME TO TALK TO MR.
WINANS.
I SAID WE'RE HAVING
A CONFERENCE...
HERE HARRY. READ THIS.
WHAT IS THIS?
IT'S A REQUEST FOR AN
INJUNCTION
PREVENTING A MOVE UNTIL THE
COURT CAN DETERMINE
THE ECONOMIC RAMIFICATIONS TO
THE COMMUNITY.
NOW, MR. WINANS...
I WANT YOU TO FORGET ALL ABOUT
THE OFFER FROM THE STATES.
HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MIND?
NO, ACTUALLY, I THINK I'VE
JUST REGAINED IT.
YOU'RE TOO LATE.
I'VE ALREADY GIVEN MY WORD TO
MINNESOTA.
AND I THINK WE ALL KNOW WHAT
THAT'S WORTH.
NOW, MR. WINANS, I'M GIVING YOU
AN OPPORTUNITY TO DO THE RIGHT
THING,
TO SAVE MONEY, AND TO SAVE FACE.
SAVE FACE?
THIS DEAL. IT'S NO GOOD.
I WANT YOU TO RECONSIDER FOR THE
FOLLOWING REASONS.
#1: THE BLADES BELONGS IN
VANCOUVER.
I DON'T CARE ABOUT THIS
TOWN.
ALL I CARE ABOUT IS
MONEY.
2: YOU'LL LOSE MONEY.
CITIZENS HAVE ALREADY ORGANIZED
TO BOYCOTT YOUR BUSINESSES AND
PICKET YOUR OFFICES.
ROBERTA, THIS IS A DONE DEAL.
NOW GO STAND OUTSIDE THE DOOR
UNTIL I CALL FOR YOU. GO ON.
BOYS, WHY DON'T YOU GO DOWN
TO THE COMMISSARY
AND HAVE A COFFEE FOR A
MOMENT.
GO AHEAD GUYS. GO ON.
EVERYTHING YOU'VE EVER WANTED TO
KNOW ABOUT EMINENT DOMAIN.
EMINENT DOMAIN?
A LITTLE CASE I'VE BEEN WORKING
ON.
YOU TELL HIM ABOUT IT HARRY.
WELL... UNDER CANADIAN AND
INTERNATIONAL LAW, A SOVEREIGN
POWER...
IN THIS CASE, THE CITY OF
VANCOUVER...
IS ENTITLED TO POSSESSION OF
PROPERTY...
IN THIS INSTANCE, THE BLADES...
IF ITS LOSS IS DEEMED
DETRIMENTAL
TO... TO THE GOOD OF THE PUBLIC.
WELL, THAT'S FINE, HARRY, BUT
JUST ONE THING -
THE BLADES AREN'T A PIECE OF
REAL ESTATE.
AND I QUOTE,
"BUYING THE BLADES IS LIKE
OWNING A LITTLE PIECE OF
CANADA."
CAN SHE DO THAT?
ROBBIE, YOU'RE NOT BEING FAIR.
I'D BE FORCED TO SELL THE TEAM
TO THE CITY?
AT "FAIR" MARKET PRICE,
LESS ANY BACK RENT YOU OWE ON
THAT LEASE AT THE COLISEUM.
WHY?
WHY ARE YOU
DOING THIS TO ME?
BECAUSE WHAT YOU'RE DOING
ISN'T RIGHT.
IT MAY BE LEGAL, BUT IT'S
NOT ETHICAL.
THERE IS NO DIFFERENCE!!
THERE HAS TO BE.
THAT'S WHAT I GET FOR INVITING A
WOMAN INTO THE FIRM.
HAVE A NICE DAY, GENTLEMEN.
I LOVE THIS.
NOW I SEE WHY YOU LOVE
THE MOUNTAINS.
EASIER TO FILTER OUT THE
NOISE AND HEAR GOD'S
VOICE.
(Car horn)
THEN AGAIN,
WHY RISK WIND SHEARS WHEN
YOU GOT A PERFECTLY GOOD
PARK
RIGHT ACROSS THE STREET FROM
THE OFFICE?
HOW'S THE READING COMING?
I CAN'T GET THROUGH THE FIRST
CHAPTER.
EVERY VERSE IS...
SO... YOU'RE NOT OUT
JOB HUNTING?
NAH. I THINK I'M GOING TO TOUGH
IT OUT.
BESIDES, I THINK BLOOM MAY BE
LOOKING AT AN EARLY RETIREMENT
AFTER TONIGHT'S TOWN MEETING.
THOUGHT OF BECOMING A SPORTS
AGENT?
'CAUSE I KNOW AN OLD VET WHO CAN
STILL USE REPRESENTATION.
I'LL PRAY ABOUT IT.
REALLY?
YA, I'M TAKING SOME TIME TO
CLIMB THE RIGHT MOUNTAIN...
SEE WHAT GOD
REALLY WANTS FOR ME.
AND YOU SHOULD KNOW,
I TAKE 25%.
OH, FORGET IT.
THAT'S NOT FAIR!
WHAT DO YOU THINK YOU'RE DOING?
CROSS CHECK!
(Boy) WELL, THERE'S NO CHECKING.
YOU'RE A GOALIE. NOW GO SIT IN
THE PENALTY BOX.
GET HER!
(Girl) CODY HARRIS SHOOTS!
SCORES!!
WHERE DO YOU THINK A KID GETS
THAT?
I DON'T KNOW, BUT IF I
EVER SEE HER AGAIN, SHE'S
GOT A JOB.
YA, YOU'LL
REPRESENT HER, HUH?
YA, SHE'S YOUNG.
OH... HO, HO, HO.
FIND THE VERSE YET? YEAH, HERE
IT IS.
EVERYTHING YOU WANT TO KNOW
ABOUT REAL POWER.

TO THEM GAVE HE THE POWER TO
BECOME THE CHILDREN OF GOD,
