Heels
Fridays 10:00 PM on StarzJack Spade Quotes
Staci: They wanted us to acknowledge that punching was wrong. How could you not read that?
Jack: ‘Cause punchin’ is not always wrong. Listen, are we supposed to live according to principle, or are we just supposed to suck it up?
Staci: We’re supposed to live according to principle and common sense.
Jack: Well, let me know when to use which.
Staci: Thomas is a sensitive boy who responded in a way we don’t prefer.
Jack: Thomas got told to go fuck himself. That’s bullying. Thomas taught that bully a life lesson about usin’ threats and fightin’ words.
Principal: There’s no such thing as fighting words, Mr. Spade. Fighting words escalate into a school shooting, and you don’t want that, do you?
Jack: Did you just ask me if I wanted this to escalate to a school shootin’?
Jack: I don’t know how you picked all that up in a week. There are wrestlers who work that their entire careers don’t tap into what you just did. You got it.
Ace: Thanks for sayin’ that, Jack.
Jack: It’s not stupid.
Ace: Say again?
Jack: This is not a stupid thing, this thing. This is an amazing thing. The fraternity and the camaraderie; it’s so far from a stupid thing.
Ace: I agree.
Jack: We should keep doin’ it.
Ace: You serious?
Jack: We should make this into what it could have been, what we just proved it can be if we work together. We can pull this off. We just have to, we’re gonna have to work hard, trust, grant, have each other’s backs.
Ace: Remember when we’d fight as kids, and Dad would make us shake hands and say that?
Jack: Yeah, maybe we should have said it before we fought. Stop the fightin’ upfront.
Jack & Ace: I got your back, brother. [they laugh]
He bought a house, fed his family. Didn’t do much other than wrestle for most of his adult life. That not being enough of a life for him? That’s his declaration. He’s a pussy. He’s a coward, and he took the coward’s way out.
I’m the guy that named his own son after his dead dad that he don’t miss. And I’m sorry if that scares you. It scares me.
Jack: Thank you for givin' up your bed. Thomas should be down here.
Ace: Basement's scary. Even now.
Ace: Do you have to be an asshole to be a heel?
Jack: Are you askin' or are you calling me an asshole?
Ace: Do you think Dad's in hell?
Jack: You didn't listen to mom you're entire life. You're gonna start now?
[to Thomas] Pajama pants and cowboy boots are a good look on you.
Ace: Of course you're OK with people hatin' you, Jack. It fuckin' comes naturally.
Jack: Listen to me, you shit. You're fuckin' amateur hour out there cuz you don't understand the difference between cheerin' and booin' and generatin' heat! Generatin' heat is your fuckin' job! You'd make a really good heel, Ace.
Ace: Get your fuckin' hands off me!
Jack: What is wrong with bein' a heel?!
Ace: You're the fuckin' heel! I'm the fuckin' face! Dad was a face! Get that through your fuckin' head.
Jack: Dad was a face. Tom Spade was a face. Yeah, cuz he was a good guy. He was a real good guy. [pause] He knew that you were home.
Ace: [to Crystal] Get the fuck off me. I'm not your fuckin' boyfriend. How clear can I be? Jesus fuckin' christ.
Jack: Hey! Whoa, whoa, whoa!
Ace: What, Jack? What's the problem? Oh, you got somethin' to say, too, Willie? Go ahead, bitch!
Jack: Hey! What the FUCK are you doin'?! [walks a way] [whispering] Hey. At what point do you think it's going to be OK to call Willie a bitch? What's wrong with you?
Ace: That's what you wanted, right? [crying] I'm a heel now.
Ace: Hey. What's it mean when your boots are unscuffed again?
Jack: It means they're a bad partner in the ring. Don't be.
