Fortune: Hey kid! You're not supposed to be here! Rudy: Hey this place is really something else huh? Someday I'm gonna come out of that tunnel and I'm gonna run onto this field. Fortune: Well it ain't gonna be this day... Rudy: I'm here to play football for the Irish! Fortune: Coach Parseghian know about it? Rudy: No... not yet.

Coach Parseghian: What's your problem, O'Hare, what's your problem? Jaime O'Hare: It's the last practice of the season and this asshole thinks it's the Super Bowl! Coach Parseghian: You just summed up your entire sorry career here in one sentence! If you had a tenth of the heart of Ruettiger, you'd have made All-American by now! As it is, you just went from third team to the prep team! Go on get out of here!

Rudy: I don't know I just don't see the point anymore. Fortune: So you didn't make the dress list, there are greater tragedies in the world. Rudy: I wanted to run out of that tunnel for my dad to prove to everyone that I worked... Fortune: PROVE WHAT? Rudy: That I was somebody. Fortune: Oh you are so full of crap. You're 5 feet nothin', a 100 and nothin', and you got hardly a speck of athletic ability. And you hung in with the best college football team in the land for two years. And you're also gonna walk outta here with a degree from the University of Notre Dame. In this lifetime, you don't have to prove nothin' to nobody - except yourself. And after what you've gone through, if you haven't done that by now, it ain't gonna never happen. Now go on back. Rudy: I'm sorry I never got you to see your first game in here. Fortune: Hell I'
