Al Pacino Speech

Please feel free to check out below the full transcript of Al Pacino's famous "Inch by Inch" speech in the movie "Any Given Sunday".


I don't know what to say really.
Three minutes
to the biggest battle of our professional lives
all comes down to today.
Either
we heal
as a team
or we are going to crumble.
Inch by inch
play by play
till we're finished.

We are in hell right now, gentlemen
believe me
and
we can stay here
and get the shit kicked out of us
or
we can fight our way
back into the light.
We can climb out of hell.
One inch, at a time.

Now I can't do it for you.
I'm too old.
I look around and I see these young faces
and I think
I mean
I made every wrong choice a middle age man could make.
I uh...
I pissed away all my money
believe it or not.
I chased off
anyone who has ever loved me.
And lately,
I can't even stand the face I see in the mirror.

You know when you get old in life
things get taken from you.
That's, that's part of life.
But,
you only learn that when you start losing stuff.
You find out that life is just a game of inches.
So is football.
Because in either game
life or football
the margin for error is so small.
I mean
one half step too late or to early
you don't quite make it.
One half second too slow or too fast
and you don't quite catch it.
The inches we need are everywhere around us.
They are in ever break of the game
every minute, every second.

On this team, we fight for that inch
On this team, we tear ourselves, and everyone around us
to pieces for that inch.
We CLAW with our finger nails for that inch.
Cause we know
when we add up all those inches
that's going to make the fucking difference
between WINNING and LOSING
between LIVING and DYING.

I'll tell you this
in any fight
it is the guy who is willing to die
who is going to win that inch.
And I know
if I am going to have any life anymore
it is because, I am still willing to fight, and die for that inch
because that is what LIVING is.
The six inches in front of your face.

Now I can't make you do it.
You gotta look at the guy next to you.
Look into his eyes.
Now I think you are going to see a guy who will go that inch with you.
You are going to see a guy
who will sacrifice himself for this team
because he knows when it comes down to it,
you are gonna do the same thing for him.

That's a team, gentlemen
and either we heal now, as a team,
or we will die as individuals.
That's football guys.
That's all it is.
Now, whattaya gonna do?

Matt Damon On Kissing Michael Douglas: "He Is A Wonderful Kisser!"

It appears Michael Douglas has a new admirer: Matt Damon!





Damon portrays Douglas' young lover in the upcoming HBO Liberace biopic: "Behind the Candelabra", but instead of being deterred by the many same sex lip locking scenes, Damon is excited about them.

"Michael was a wonderful kisser," Matt revealed to Playboy magazine's January/February issue. "My concerns ended up mattering a lot less once we were filming."



To be more exact, Damon claimed he was determined to make the sexy scenes as realistic as possible.

"We both have a lot of gay friends and we were not going to screw this up or bullsh*t it," Damon was quoted as saying. "It wasn't the most natural thing in the world to do though. Like for one scene I had to come out of the pool, go over to Michael, straddle him on a chaise lounge and start kissing him. We drew it up like a football plan."

The steamy scene isn't just the only one in the movie and Damon is very well aware the film won't be to everyone's taste.




"Well, normally I'd say no to nudity," Matt explained. "But I just did a lot of it playing the long term partner of Liberace, Scott Thorson, in Behind the Candelabra. I mean it's tastefully done.

"Steven Soderbergh directed it and Michael Douglas plays Liberace. But this movie's not going to be for everyone…There's stuff I think will make people uncomfortable. Great. It's HBO - they can change the channel," Damon continued.

As for his wife Luciana, Damon admits there's plenty of romance.

"This is the first relationship I've had that wasn't like work to be in. There's always stuff you can work on, of course, but being married and having kids for me, there's a lot of romance, but it's a much bigger endeavor with a lot of nuts and bolts problem solving you have to do together. It's like building a company. I wish I were better because my wife deserves someone who surprises her with a gift or flowers or some wonderful idea. I've never been good at that, and she's really good at it, which makes me feel even more like s**t," Damon stated.


Are you looking forward to watching Matt Damon and Michael Douglas in such a different kind of movie??
