Herb Brooks: I got a telegram from a lady in Texas today, and you know what it said?
Patty Brooks: What?
Herb Brooks: Beat those Commie bastards. We're playing a hockey game against the greatest team in the world, and they're the best that's ever played this game. Why can't we just leave it at that?
Patty Brooks: Because this is more than a hockey game to a lot of people.
Herb Brooks: Yeah and I keep running through them all. Johnson on Mikhailov. Broten on Petrov. Pav against whoever OV. We just... We don't match up, Patti.
Patty Brooks: You might want to skip that when you talk to the boys tomorrow.
