• Reno Hightower : I was never great. I was pretty good. I was great for around here. Every year I got better. The people remember me in my prime. The kids always ask me about the 6 touchdown passes against Porterville. Hell, I only threw 3 touchdowns.

  Reno Hightower : I'm not going to argue. I like the idea of 7 better. In a couple more years it'll be 8. I get better with age. My knees are killing me. I'm slow.

  Jack Dundee : That's why you didn't want to play the game.

  Reno Hightower : No. I just... I didn't want to destroy the only thing I've got left, those stories about how great I was.
