=="Win just one for the Gipper"==
{{blockquote|The last thing George said to me, 'Rock,' he said, 'sometime when the team is up against it and the breaks are beating the boys, ask them to go out there with all they've got and win just one for the Gipper.'}}

This quote ranked No. 89 on the [[American Film Institute]]'s ''[[AFI's 100 Years...100 Movie Quotes|100 Years...100 Movie Quotes]]'' list. However, for many years during which [[United Artists]] held the rights, the Gipper sequence was cut for television showings. For the film's initial release to home video, [[MGM]]/UA restored the sequence as part of the original uncut version, and this is the version that has been used for all home video, television and theatrical reissues since.

The phrase "win one for the Gipper" was later used as a political slogan by [[Ronald Reagan]], who was often referred to as the Gipper because he had played the role of George Gipp in ''Knute Rockne, All American''. At the [[1988 Republican National Convention]], Reagan told his vice president [[George H. W. Bush]], "George, go out there and win one for the Gipper." [[Bob Dole]] used the phrase at the [[1996 Republican National Convention]], as did President [[George W. Bush]] at the [[2004 Republican National Convention]] in his acceptance speech when he stated "We can now truly win one for the Gipper" shortly after [[Death and state funeral of Ronald Reagan|Reagan's death]].

The line is spoken by the dying pilot Al Ross in the 1964 film ''[[Flight to Fury]]''.

The speech is parodied in the film ''[[Airplane!]]'', which was released when Reagan was [[Ronald Reagan 1980 presidential campaign|running for the presidency]] in [[1980 United States presidential election|1980]].
