Daniel "Rudy" Ruettiger
|
"You're 5 foot nothin', 100 and nothin', and you have nearly a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in there with the best college football team in the land for 2 years. And you're getting a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this life, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody but yourself."
--Fortune (as played by Charles S. Dutton) in "Rudy." |
