Facing the Giants (2006)

Bailey Cave: David Childers

Quotes 

• J.T. Hawkins Jr. : You act like you gonna miss before you even kick the ball. See, we're gonna have to change your whole kicking philosophy. Now see, you kick it wide left, or wide right, but that ain't gonna get you home. The ball has got to go through the middle.

  David Childers : I know, coach.

  J.T. Hawkins Jr. : No, no, no. You don't. Now what does scripture say about this? Scripture says wide is the gate and broad is the way that leads to destruction. And many that be there find it. Now to us; that's wide left, and wide right. But narrow is the gate and straight is the way that leads to life, and few that be there find it. Anybody can kick it wide left and wide right. My momma can kick it wide left and wide right. But that ain't gonna get you home. It don't have to look great. It don't have to look smooth. It can look like a dying duck. But the ball has got to go through the middle. Now David, you gonna have to choose the narrow way. Cause that's the only path where you gonna get your reward.

• Grant Taylor : David, I need a 51-yard field goal.

  David Childers : Coach, I can't kick that far.

  Grant Taylor : David, they've been stopping the run and the pass all night. You're my best option.

  David Childers : Coach, the farthest I've ever kicked is a 39-yarder. There is no way I can kick a 51-yard field goal.

  Grant Taylor : I believe you can. Your job is to do the best you can, and leave the rest up to God. I need you on that field. All right, field goal unit!

  Announcer #2 : I don't understand this, but with two seconds left on the clock, but Coach Grant Taylor and the Shiloh Eagles are putting the game in the hands of a 145-pound backup kicker. This isn't a good move on Grant Taylor's part. He even has to kick into the wind.

  Brady Owens : Grant, we gotta throw it. He can't kick it from there. It's too far.

  Grant Taylor : No, it's not.

  Brady Owens : What are you doing?

  Grant Taylor : I'm preparing for rain.

• Larry Childers : Did you do your best, son?

  David Childers : I knew I was gonna miss it before it kicked it.

  Larry Childers : Your actions will always follow your beliefs, David.

  David Childers : Dad, I can't even kick it straight.

  Larry Childers : And I can't walk. Should I just stay home and pout about it? If you accept defeat, David, then that's what you'll get.
