Good morning, you ugly sumsb***hes. Have a seat, Ol' Blood and Guts is going to get you ready for the upcoming season. First, "I want you to remember that no b*****d ever won a war by dying for his country. He won it by making the other poor dumb b*****d die for his country." Likewise, no b*****d ever won a Super Bowl by doubting his team. He won that sumb***h by making the other poor f**ker doubt his team. Gentlemen, we are at war. Not real war. That is the place for brave men and women to lock horns with those that seek to do harm to the innocent. We only pray that we ourselves cause no further harm. No, no. We are at war with our greatest enemy, ourselves. That's right, I said our own goddamn selves! The mind, my friends, is a motherf**ker. It will tell you that you can't, when you can; it'll tell you, you won't, when you will. The mind, in moments of weakness, grasps at "doubt". It does so as a means of protection. A way to prevent the pain of failure. It is that cunning accomplice of "doubt" that I speak of: "assumption". That we "assume" something in a negative light creates doubt. Now "doubt" and "assumption", have a friend. A short, squatty-dick faced compadre named "the cynic." "The Cynic" is an especially pugnacious fellow. He maintains the trappings of "the realist", but does so from an entirely negative impression of the situation as it is. He does not see the potential for getting better, only the promise of ruin. He is, always shall be, a son of a b***h that would not have the internal fortitude that Almighty GOD would give to a lump of prepubescent crap. And that's fine. Just because his ball sack is tight against his taint with the cynical trappings of fear, doesn't mean ours has to be! Now men, I know that you know that: Men. Win or lose, I will not tolerate any longer this undercurrent of absolute petrification that runs through our beloved ninertalk. I am not saying you don't have the right, because you do, to have concerns; but when those concerns become justifications for realities that have yet to even occur, I think you are fooling yourself. Now enough of all this mushy s**t. I hate mushy s**t! It makes defecation, soldiers, more of a chore than it already is! By god, I want no more mushy s**t! I want a Ninertalk that is hard charging, ripping through the other fan bases like a poorly constructed prophylactic, punching through to the other side on our way, on our magnificent f**king journey on the Indeed, I have noticed that the old chippiness of the past has returned. I remember those days when Ninertalk was young and angry. GOOD. I LIKE IT WHEN YOU ARE CHIPPY! It means, men, that you give a f**k. Frankly, I'm glad. I would rather be a part of a board that gave a f**k then one that didn't. Do you know what that is called? When folks don't care? QUITTING! We do not quit here. Never have. And we do not plan on doing so now. Dismissed.

Ditto!

He won Best Actor for that role!

George C. Scott's role of a lifetime.

He also won another Oscar - can't recall the part or the flick.

Haha, Old School is a good movie too.

Patton (the movie, not Quinton

) is awesome. George C Scott was amazing, like Wally said. Also loved him in Dr. Strangelove, not sure if he got an award for that.

One of the best movies ever made.

And I say that as a bourgeois, uppity film school graduate.

Not nominated. (Supporting Actor for 1964 won by Peter Ustinov for Topkapi)

Context: He had refused the nomination from three years earlier for The Hustler, so that may have been on the Academy's mind still. By 1970 when he was nominated for Patton and won he refused the nomination (and subsequently the award) again, but the Academy apparently gave no f**ks by that point.

Indeed.

Peter Sellers was (deservedly) nominated for Best Actor for Dr. Strangelove, but nobody to this day knows for which one (or all?) of his three roles, exactly.

Also, lost opportunity at the end of the OP to quote my favorite line from the speech.

"Alright, now you sons-of-b***hes - you know how I feel."

Coppola could sure write some screenplays 45 years ago.
