- Stanley Leroy McCoy: After a couple of flashing lights and a teddy bear, you're gonna tell me my grandson is deaf and dumb?
- Dr. Hoffman: No. After a couple of flashing lights and a teddy bear, I'm going to tell you you have a highly intelligent grandson... who's profoundly deaf.
- Kristi Jones: I can feel the ground rumbling from the falling water.
- Matt Hamill: Yeah. I love its strength.
- Kristi Jones: It's funny because it's so powerful, yet it has to follow the path that nature built for it.
- Matt Hamill: Or you could say that it ignores nature and builds the path for itself.
- Coach Cantrell: Hey, you know why he beat you, right?
- Matt Hamill: I ran out of time.
- Coach Cantrell: No. He had a strategy - scoring points.
- Matt Hamill: Yeah, but time ran out before I could...
- Coach Cantrell: Pin him? You don't have to pin everyone you wrestle. The goal is to win, right? Takedown, reversal - two points. Escape - one point. Near fall - two or three points.
- Matt Hamill: Coach, I know all this. Doesn't matter. I know I can pin him.
- Coach Cantrell: Even the best wrestlers, they can't pin quality opponents most of the time. You don't have to pin. Just have to win.
- Kristi Jones: You know, I was wrong. The problem isn't that you speak more than you sign. The problem is that you don't communicate at all.
- Ron Gross: So. Here we are. Seems certainly fitting this is how it's coming to a close. Jason Sloan, two-time national champ, against Matt Hamill. Whoever wins tonight will forever be called a champion. For Sloan, well, he's looking to be called a three-time national champion. That's what's at stake for him. That's how bad he wants it. And the only thing standing in the way of everything this guy has ever worked for is a sophomore walk-on.
