Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 1, Episode 11 - Nevermind - full transcript

The Panthers are preparing yet again for another game they can't afford to lose. Jason (Scott Porter) still finds it difficult to adjust to life at home, and the feelings he still has for Lyla (Minka Kelly) don't make it any easier. Meanwhile, at what couldn't seem like a better time, Matt's (Zach Gilford) dad comes home from Iraq, but the homecoming is not what Matt expected. To make situations ...

Here's to God.
and ten years from now, Street,

good friends living large in Texas.

- Is it true, Mr. Street?
- That I love Lyla Garrity?

Street's the only one able to get to him.
Looks like a gigantic hit on Street.

- ...Quarterback. no one's seen this guy...
- Throw the ball.

- Hey, boy, how you doing?
- Doing good. How you doing?

Well, I'm hanging in here, man.

Your dad in Iraq...
that must be hard.

- Did You forget to take your pills yesterday?
- No.

Looks like she wandered into a
neighbor's house around the block.

- Is she all right?
- Found her taking a bath.



They said it's dementia.

- She's okay now?
- She's fine. She's grandma, you know?

Jason's paralyzed.

My legs are never gonna get better.
You and me, we're not getting married.

- Don't say that, Jason.
- Lyla

What happened with us came from
all these feelings about Jason.

- Is something happening between you and Riggins?
- No!

You don't steal a cripple's girl.
You're a coward, Riggins!

Welcome home.

You are all that I have in the whole world.
It's all I have.

Come on.

Where's my Nevermind CD?

I don't know.
Did you leave it in your room?

No, I didn't leave it
in my room!



It should be right here
with the rest of Nirvana.

Can you get it off of the computer?

No!
I can't get it on my computer! I just...

I just... I wanna listen to it,
and I want the CD,

and I want it right now.

I don't understand why this
is something to get so upset over.

Because I'm crippled,
and I wanna listen to Nirvana!

Is that so hard to understand?
Huh?

I'll just have to get myself
another one.

Sweetheart, the record store's
like 4 miles away.

Well,

I better get goin'.

You can find Clay Aiken under A.

- Like he's not your boyfriend.
- Hey,

what Clay and I have is special, okay?

America loves him, and so do I.
You just need to start respecting that.

Why don't you send me
an invitation to the wedding?

I would, but it's just gonna be
the two of us and, uh

a harpist.
And, uh,

Ryan Seacrest is gonna perform
the ceremony.

Nice.

- Hi.
- Hi.

- How are you?
- Great. And you?

I'm okay.

Jason, hi. Lyla, we gotta go.
We're gonna be late for class.

- You gotta go.
- Unless I don't.

I know we have
a lot to talk about.

- Maybe...
- Yeah, yeah. We should go somewhere.

How do we do this?

I'm not really sure.

- What if I put my leg on your shoulder?
- Higher up.

Come on, here!

Okay, okay.
I got an idea. Hop off.

- You okay?
- I'm fine.

I'm fine.

I'm good, I'm good.

Stop gawking at me
and come here.

It's okay.
It's okay.

I...I can't. Lyla, stop.
I can't feel anything.

Friday Night Lights 1x11
Nevermind

Sync: Tauri41

Man, look, it's just...

Yeah, I know, Medicare...

Medicare says that
they'll pay for all that,

but for some reason,
I have this bill

saying that I owe $348.

Matthew?

Matthew, have you got
that leaky faucet fixed yet?

- Um, yeah, I know...
- Get your dad to help you.

Grandma, Dad's in Iraq,
remember?

So, look, what I'm really
trying to figure out here

- is if you can maybe arrange some kind of...
- He's out front

- in-home visits or something...
- Go help him.

if, you know, Medicare
will pay for that as well.

Can...can you hold on one sec?

Go help him with his bags.

- All right. I'm gonna go look, okay?
- Yeah.

Dad?

Matt.

You're home!

You're home!
You're home!

P-A-N-T-H-E-R-S.

Bring it in, guys.

Bring 'em in, guys!
Let's go, let's go!

Listen up...perfection
is the order of the day.

Anything else
is unacceptable, understood?

Yes, sir.

We leave the mistakes
up to the Westcott Warriors.

Also, First Baptist is having
their annual Panther dinner

on Thursday night,
so you'll be there.

Uh-uh, uh-uh.
I don't wanna hear it.

You'll have your jackets.
You'll have your ties.

There's gonna be
no foul language.

You're not gonna make
jackasses out of yourself.

Don't embarrass me.

Don't embarrass the school.

- Understood?
- Yes, sir.

All right, coach,
break it down.

Come on, let's hit it!

One, two, three!
Can't lose!

Miss Levine told me

that you're in real trouble
in her English class.

Yeah, well, why don't we just
put me into an easier class?

That's not really
the problem, is it?

I hear you got an oral report
due this week.

You started reading
that book yet?

Uh, no, I haven't,

but I am
lookin' forward to it.

You get help
on your homework, Tim?

Maybe from
the Rally Girls sometimes?

No.

Never.

Not once.

All right, you know,

that Scarlet Letter paper
that y'all wrote...

I mean, Julie was up all night
long writing that one.

Did...did you write that one?
Oh, yeah.

You did?
Yep.

Oh!
Could I see it?

Wow, "Modern Themes
in The Scarlet Letter."

A-.
Look at that.

What's The Scarlet Letter
about, Tim?

You know
what it's about.

- I do know.
- Yeah.

What's The Scarlet Letter
about?

It's about, uh,
a gal that, uh,

named Scarlet, obviously...

Tim,

you did not write
this paper.

What's the big deal?

Well, the big deal is
that it's part of my job

to make sure that
you don't grow up stupid.

It's bad for the world.

That's not funny, Tim.

That is not funny.

So you know what...I'm making it
my personal responsibility

to make sure that you don't
get any more free passes

from your teachers.

From here on in, you're gonna
sink or you're gonna swim,

based on you,
based on your work.

You get me?

We're two wins away
from playoffs, Mrs. Taylor.

I appreciate that.

The timing of this
couldn't be worse.

Well, I'm sorry.

I don't pass,
I don't play.

Well, then, I think
we'd better get you to pass.

Yep!
Yeah!

Oh, yeah!
Yeah, baby!

Mike Jones

for the ladies,
baby, yeah!

Good Lord,
that boy's good.

Herc.

Hmm?

How do I have sex?

Oh, my goodness.
My boy's growin' up.

No, seriously.

I just need
a little information.

I kinda had a...

a little...
a little mishap, if you will.

Mishap?

- Yeah.
- By yourself or with a girl?

With a girl.

I just...
I was having trouble, uh...

I was having trouble...

staying at attention.

You know what I mean?

I do know
what you mean,

but I'm proud of you
anyway.

Where'd you find her?
It's not important.

I didn't catch
that name.

Who was this again?

It was Lyla.

Come on.

No!

Boo!
Uh-uh!

What...
what are you sayin' to me?

Well, of course
your ding dong went soft.

- It was tryin' to protect you.
- I know, I know.

All right, it wasn't,
like, my proudest moment,

but if you'd hold back
on the judgment

just a little bit right now,
that'd be great.

'Cause this is really
helping me right now.

I know what you want.
I know what you want.

You wanna grab her
and do her, huh?

- Make her forget about that other guy, right?
- Yes.

Just bang
the bejesus out of her.

Exactly.
That's exactly what I wanna do.

Yeah.
Not gonna happen.

Least not for a while, anyway.

Why not?

Dude, you're like
a newborn baby.

You don't know how
to do anything.

Look, man, whatever
worked for you before

may not work now,
you know?

You just gotta figure out
what turns you on, you know?

Like, will I ever
be able to...

What, shoot fireworks?

- Yeah.
- Have a super happy fun time?

- Yeah.
- Yes.

Probably.
Just maybe not every time.

Look,

nothing's like it was,
you know?

But don't look so glum, man.

There's more to life
than hit it and quit it, QB,

trust me.

Landry.

Landry.
Hi.

How you doing?

Good.

Do you know
Tim Riggins?

He's lookin' for
an English tutor,

and I think you would
be just perfect.

Do you?

Yeah, I do, and I just
want you to know

that he wants to really
improve his grades.

He's looking
to expand his mind.

Don't go easy on him.

Spend as much time
as you need.

Do whatever you need to do,
and y'all get in there

and get it goin'.

And I think you'll be great.
Thanks, Landry.

Okay, um...

Good luck.

Okay.

Go!

Set!

Hut!

There it is.

That's nice, Matt.

That's nice.

Set.

Coach Taylor, you seen this?

Huh?

Texas Football magazine.

Top ten high school coaches
in the state of Texas.

- You're on this list?
- Right there, Coach.

Oh, there's no livin'
with him now.

Better watch what you say.
Says "up and coming."

How 'bout that?

Coach, we're getting T-shirts
with that on it.

- It'll be on the radio.
- Sweaters.

That's a three-minute break.
Three minutes.

Let's go!

Hey, Dad.

- Lookin' good, Matt.
- Thanks.

I think I'm gonna take off.
I got some sleep to catch up on.

Wait, can you hold on
a minute?

I want you to meet the coach.
Hey, come here, come here.

This is my dad.

Coach!

Yeah.

Uh, this is my dad,
Henry Saracen.

This is Coach Taylor.
This is my dad.

- How do you do?
- Pleasure to meet you.

Pleasure to meet you.

You're, uh,
you're on leave?

Yeah, he's home
for two weeks.

That's good...you gonna get to
see your son play a little bit?

I hope so.

He's done a hell of a job
leadading this team, I tell you.

Not much trouble
from him, huh?

He's a little bit of trouble.
He's not too much trouble.

He's been a pleasure to teach,
I can tell you that.

I didn't know
he had it in him.

He's got plenty in him.

He's been a good team leader
out here.

I'll tell you what.
You can be proud of your son.

Just hope he keeps doin'
okay under pressure.

You betcha.

Well, I gotta run, Coach.
I'll talk to you later.

- It was a pleasure to meet you.
- Very nice meeting you.

I'll see you
at home, Son.

Yeah, I'll see you
at home, Dad.

Thanks...thanks, Coach.

OK, go get some drink now

he's probably just
having a hard time

trying to express himself.

Yeah, maybe.

You know what it is?

He's probably all messed up
from the war.

That's exactly what it is...
he's gone war crazy

from the, you know, Operation
Freedom flashbacks and stuff.

He's not war crazy.

He's just...

He...he should see you play.

I mean, if you get him
to one of the games,

he'll understand
what all of the fuss is about.

Yeah. I guess.

Is he gonna help you get some
in-home care for your grandma?

Well, yeah, he's gonna
straighten all that out.

I mean, really, this
is, like, a perfect time

for him to come home

because, clearly,
I can't get it done.

You know what, Matty?

I think what he needs

is to come and see...

my new band,
Crucifictorious!

Anyone?
Broken Spoke.

This Friday
after the game.

Doors open at 11:00...you gotta
get there early, though.

It's gonna be pretty packed.

We have to go
to that, don't we?

Well, if we don't go,

I don't really think anyone else
is gonna be there, so...

Yep.

Hi.

Hey.

Guess what I have.

What?

Dirty, dirty,

dirty

quad porn.

What?

Before you engage

in any sexual activity
with a partner,

it will be helpful to know
how your new body works.

This can most effectively
be done by masturbation.

Listen, Lyla, can we just shut
this off and talk for a few...

No

I know it's not exactly
the porn you were expecting,

but there's some
useful stuff in here.

Keepin' it open mind
and using your imagination

in your wheelchair
can allow for spotting

and pleasure

in sexual activity.
Enjoy yourself

I wasn't expecting
any porn.

No, Jason, wait!

Listen,
I know this is weird,

but we can
get through this.

That's not what I'm...

I think we were
really close before.

It's not about sex.

And a lot of couples
have very good luck

in the shower.

You wanna get laid
that bad, call Riggins.

You know what?

I don't know
about you, Tim,

but I am excited
about your new journey

into the wonderful world
of American literature.

I really, really am.

What do you think of the name
Crucifictorious?

I wanted to go with
Stigmatalingus,

- but I, uh, got outvoted.
- They're both crap, Landry.

I mean, that's great.

You are entitled
to your opinion.

That's just what makes
America so great.

Just being honest.

Okay, Of Mice and Men.

The good news is it's a short
book...it's a hundred pages,

so you can pretty much
rock it out in one night.

Right on that.

Oh, my God,
you can't read, can you?

Is that it?

You're one of those kids who
just slipped through the cracks?

I can read, you joke.

I just choose not to.

That's cute.
That's real cute.

I got a show
you might wanna come to.

Still like it
almost burnt?

Yes, sir.
There you go.

Look at that.

It's good, Matthew.
Thanks.

Beats the hell out of
them MREs.

Is that one done?

Oh, yeah, it's done.

Relax.

What is she so nervous for?

She's always like this...that's
what I was trying to tell you.

That's why I wanna try
and get a nurse in here

or something like that.

I'm not nervous.

I...I know.

So, what's it, um,

wh-what's it like
over there in Iraq?

Good.
Building schools.

Doing a lot of good.

Yeah, so when do you think
it's gonna be over?

When do you think you can
come home for...for good?

I tell you this...
we're not gonna leave

until those people
have a stable government.

You know, uh,

there's some people
that think that we should just,

you know, get everybody
out of there and come home.

Do you know what would
happen if we left?

How many innocent
people would die?

We're gonna stay until we finish
what we started, Matt.

Well, I'm not really saying...
I wasn't saying anything.

I just, you know, I just
like it when you're home.

Hey, I got you.

No, I got it.
Come on, now.

I already dragged
the other one out here.

I can drag
this one out too.

You're gonna do the last 3 feet
and take all the credit for it?

I'm not gonna give you
the credit now.

I got the other one out...
Hey...

I can't believe
you just did that.

- I didn't do anything.
- Look at that!

- Come on, just...
- That's a disaster.

I'll get it.
I'll get it.

Let me ask you something.

Did you, by chance,
make it your personal mission

to take over the education
of Tim Riggins?

I am, actually, yes.

You know, I found out

that he's been having
the Rally Girls do his homework

for I don't know how long.

That's very nice of you,
but we're both aware of

the no pass, no play policy.

Yeah, I'm very aware
of that, mm-hmm.

And if you would
just think about this...

I know that
you're not about to say...

- It's just for the next couple games.
- What I think you're gonna say.

We got a chance
at the playoffs.

'Cause you know what
the answer is gonna be,

because you know what...
he's been cheatin', honey.

And I don't even want
to ask you

if you knew that
he's been cheating.

But he's been cheating,

and I know you don't want me
to turn my back on that.

No, I didn't know
he was cheating,

and I know how important
the kid's schooling is.

What I'm saying is
that the next couple of games...

Do you, though...you think
it's as important as winning?

I mean, really, do you?

You're really asking me
that question?

- You're asking me that question?
- Can you answer the question?

No, I can't answer
the question,

because you won't
let me finish talking.

Well, you know what,

it does not do Tim Riggins
a bit of good

to grow up ignorant
and mean and dumb.

What are you talking about?

That's what you are encouraging
with these boys.

- I'm not encouraging that.
- Yes, you are!

I know how important
his education is.

No, you're making 'em
feel like

what this town
makes 'em feel like,

which is that football
is the most important thing.

If we send that message to him,
that's what he's gonna believe.

- You've gotta be kidding me.
- No, I'm not.

- You gotta be kidding me.
- I'm not kidding you.

You know I'm not
kidding you.

I can't believe that we're
even disagreeing about this.

I can't believe you're even
asking me to do that.

Hello.

It's Coach Taylor.

Yeah.

I'll get the rest
of the garbage.

Hey, Coach.
Yes, sir.

Well, I mean, I can't make
any commitments, obviously...

Well, sure.

All right, well, I'll look
forward to your call.

You can consider the
conversation open, of course.

All right, you too.

Thanks, Coach.

What?
Who was that?

That was an assistant coach
from over at UT.

They want to know
if I had any interest

in quarterback coach
next season.

Uh-uh.

That's what the man said.

Nuh-uh.
Really?

Get outta here!

You're fooling me.
Really?

Hey, Riggins.

Hey, Riggins,

when do you
want to get together

and work on that
book report?

Oh, man,
I haven't read that.

Why have you not
read it?

I don't know.
I didn't get around to it.

Okay, just checking.
That's great.

Um, you know if you don't pass,
you don't play, right?

What do you want me to do?

You want me to read it
to you myself?

A few miles south of Soledad,
the Salinas River

drops in close
to the hillside bank

and runs deep and green.

The water is warm, too,
for it has slipped twinkling

over the yellow sands
in the sunlight

before reaching
the narrow pool.

What did I just say
just now?

I don't know...some stuff
about a river.

Okay, well, what did this
river look like?

It's real pretty, Landry.

Okay.

On one side of the river...

What the hell is Riggins
doin' in there?

Studying.

Hey, Dad.

What, uh...

what are you doing?

Your grandma's
driving me crazy.

I had to get out
of the house.

She can be a little much
sometimes.

Why didn't you tell me
how bad it was?

Well, it's not that bad...

Grandma!

Grandma!

Grandma!
Huh?

Grandma, you all right?

You gotta be
kidding me.

What did I tell you
about using the stove?

What is wrong with you?
You're acting like a damn child!

Dad, calm down.
It was an accident.

I told you three times
to lay away from the stove!

Dad, don't yell at her.
You're just gonna scare her.

You okay?
No, no, no.

Don't cry, it's okay.

I don't even know
what happened, honey.

Why is he mad at me?

He's not.
He's just scared.

All right?

We were all just scared,
all right?

What happened?

It's all right.
It's all over, okay?

You all right?

It's not your fault,
okay?

The Medicare is not gonna
pay for at-home care

unless she has a definitive
diagnosis of Alzheimer's.

Well, let's get her
a diagnosis, then.

What about a home?
What?

My veterans' benefits
should cover that.

Yeah, there's some
homes in the area.

But she's Matt's
legal guardian.

If she's in a home,
that's not gonna work.

There's another option.

Mr. Saracen, you might be able
to get out of your service

if there's no one else
to look...

No, I can't do that.

What?
Why not?

That...
that would be perfect.

It's out of the question, Matt.
We're not done over there yet.

But, Dad, it's grandma...

I'm not gonna argue
about it with you.

We all have to make
sacrifices.

I know, I underst...

Stop, Matt.

Thank you.

I think
we've heard enough here.

Slim said, 'You hadda, George.
I swear you hadda.

Come on with me.

He led George to the
entrance of the trail

and up toward the highway.

Curley and Carlson
looked after them,

and Carlson said,

What the hell you suppose
is eatin' them two guys?'

Damn.

The guy shot
his best friend.

Intense.

Now he's become the kind of man
he said he never wanted to be.

Exactly.

- I gotcha.
- Exactly.

Without Lennie, George
lost all his humanity.

Yeah, that's messed up.

Okay, so oral report.

All right, first, you give
a brief plot summary,

and then you list the themes
and how they relate to you.

So, how do they
relate to you?

Go.

I don't know.

You don't...

Okay, we just got done
discussing this whole thing.

That was talking.
This is different.

How is this different?
This is the same exact thing.

Just tell me what you...

Seriously, what do you
want me to say?

You know, why don't you
just do it for me?

- Just do it for you?
- Yeah.

No, I'm not gonna
just do it for you.

I mean...

My God, you really
are ridiculous.

Do you just have the Rally
Girls do everything for you?

I mean, do they
just chew your food

and wipe your butt for you...
how does this work?

I just sat here
and read the entire...

the entire book to you,

and you have nothing to say.

There's gotta be something
in this head of yours

that you can relate to.

I don't know.

- There's gotta be something!
- I don't know.

What don't you know?
Okay, listen...listen.

Okay, this...this is a book

about two best friends

who have a dream
that gets crushed.

They have a dream
that gets crushed.

You can't tell me that
there's not something

in this head of yours
that you can relate this to.

There's gotta be something!

My Go...

You know, here's an example
how I can relate to this.

I would really, really
like to shoot you right now.

Okay, so you know what?

Just take the book,
and I'm done.

You can figure it out
on your own from here.

God.

- Jason.
- Hey, Mrs. Taylor.

- How are you, honey?
- I'm good, I'm good.

- Um, how are you?
- I'm good.

Did you wheel yourself
all the way over here?

Yeah, I did.

It's no big deal.
I do it all the time.

Oh, my...well,
did you want to see Coach?

He's not here.
He's at a meeting.

And then we got
this church dinner.

Um, well, you know what?
Come on inside.

You know what?
I was just thinking about you.

I was just thinking about
when you might

feel like you're ready
to go back to school.

I, uh,

I haven't really
thought about it yet.

Just keep in mind that you can
come back any time you want.

I mean, you don't have to,
you know,

wait for the new semester
or anything like that.

I know.

You've practically
got all your courses

taken care of anyway.

You've only got
a few credits left.

Yeah, just, I'm...

I don't know if I'm ready
to be part of the, uh,

Dillon High rumor mill
right now.

I got enough to handle.

Are you talking about
that thing with Lyla?

I'm just so confused,
you know.

It's just...

I saw Lyla the other day,

and we just...

Don't tell Coach, please.

Oh, no.
I won't.

And I kinda, sorta

tried to get back
together, and...

I want to.
I just want to, you know?

But I'm just having
such a hard time with it.

It's just...

It's just...it's Lyla.

I wish it was someone else.

I wish it was someone
different.

I wish I could just hate her
and walk away from it

and be done with it, 'cause
it would be so much easier.

Be a lot easier.

But I love her, you know?
And...

We were gonna get married.

Mm.

That's a hard thing.

It's a hard, hard thing.

But I will say

there's no weakness
in forgiveness.

If that's what you decide.

Look what I found.

Your mom gave it to me
about a hundred years ago.

You want it?

Sure.

Thanks.

Talked to your Aunt Peg
in Oklahoma,

and she said she's willing
to have you live with her.

You don't have to do that.
I can stay here.

I can take care of grandma
just like I...

just like I been doing.

Something's
gotta be done, all right?

And I found a home
for her.

Grandma's not even...she's...

She won't even know
anyone there.

Matt, look,

I know this ain't easy.

All right?
Let me help you with that.

It's fine.

Let me help you.

I'm gonna be late.
I just gotta go, okay?

Let us pray.

Dear Lord,
our heavenly Father,

we ask that you give
these boys

the strength
to be guided by you

and to be vessels
for your saving message.

And to play with the passion

that you yourself
have blessed them with.

Amen.

Amen.

Let's have some barbecue.

Hey.

Coach.

I don't give you the impression

that I think of you only
as a football player, do I?

I bring this up because,
as usual,

my wife is always right.

You got your midterms
comin' up.

I'm gonna be in contact
with your teachers.

I'm gonna know
what's goin' on.

There are gonna be
no more free rides.

You're gonna start paying.

And hear me when I say this.

No pass...

no play.

So, uh,
where's your dad?

He's not coming.

But I thought you said
he was gonna come.

Yeah, but he's just
not coming, okay?

He has something to do.

That kinda sucks.

What does he have
that's so impor...

I don't know.

He just has something
that's going on, okay?

- Are you okay?
- No, I'm not.

And you picking at me's
not helping,

so could we just
not talk about it?

Yeah...yeah, Matt.
Whatever.

Midway through the third quarter
Westward 24 Dillon 14

Red 40!

Red 40!

Red 40!
Hike!

He drops back.

He's got Dolia!

He's wide open in the flats.

Come on, son.
You gotta get rid of that!

Get up, Son, and go!
Get up.

Matt Saracen is just not
on his game tonight, folks.

Hut!

It's a bad pitch.

Williams picks it up.

Oh nice stiff arm.
He gets to the end zone!

He's got one man to beat.

Smash Williams, touchdown.
Dillon Panthers.

Saracen! Come here.

Let me tell you
something.

Let me tell you something...
Smash is out there.

He is covering
for your ass right now.

You better screw your head on
real tight, you understand me?

Yes, Coach.

Come on, you heard him.
Get your head in the game, boy.

Start of the fourth quarter.

Westward with the ball.

Hey!

Hey!
That's nice!

That's gonna bring a fourth down.

Dolia, Smash,
come here, come here.

We're going for the block.
We're going for the block.

I want Kripa right.
Kripa right, you understand?

Hey, get there.

And Dillon gets it back.

All right, let's get up
and now let's go.

Capitalize right here.

Time to capitalize, baby.
Come on.

Hey, get on your feet
and make some noise!

Get up and make some noise!

Hey, listen, they press their
cornerback tight on first down.

I wanna go deep.

One big play wipes away
all the little mistakes.

We walk outta here winners.
Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.
What's the call?

Pro gun right,
X, Y cross.

Got it? Then let it fly.

Go long, Matt.

Make something happen, baby,
come on!

And here comes Matt Saracen
back onto the field.

With Plenty of time
in the fourth quarter

to get his team back into this.

Green, 12!

Hut!

Oh, and the safety's
out of position.

Williams streaks up
the sideline.

Matt Saracen let it fly

Oh no, and Matt Saracen
just overthrew Smash Williams

by a mile.

That could have been
an easy touchdown for Dillon.

Start warming up Weston.

Weston, let's go!
Warm it up.

Time!
Time!

Step out.

It's not your night, son.

Coach Taylor's
benched Matt Saracen

and is sending in second string
quarterback Brett Weston.

This might be a risky move,

but the way Saracen's
played tonight,

what does Coach Taylor
have to lose?

There you go, baby!
There you go!

There you go!

Good game, Coach.

Very good. Yes, sir!

You'll get 'em
next time, Matt.

You're sending me
to Oklahoma.

You can play football
anywhere.

Go to hell, Dad.

What'd you say?
I said go to hell.

Matt, just get in the truck
right now, and we'll talk...

I'm not getting
in the truck with you,

and I'm not gonna
go home with you.

You know, I thought you were
gonna come home from Iraq

and actually be able to help,

but you've
only made things worse.

Do you know what?

Actually, why don't you
just go back to Iraq?

'Cause things worked out a lot
better when you were there.

Really, you calling me
all the time..."Help me.

"Grandma
can't do anything right.

I don't know what to do.
I don't know what to do."

I'm sorry...it's hard to pay the
rent and go to school and take...

Try being me
for five minutes!

- Try being you?
- What have you done?

You think I wanna
come home to this?

- Now get in the truck.
- I'm not going anywhere with you.

Get in the truck.
You get in the truck.

Where you gonna go?

I don't know.

Let me know
when you go back to Iraq.

Come on.

It's okay,
it's okay, it's okay.

Lookee here.

Wow.

What do you think?

That's some
intense stuff, man.

Very intense.

- Showed up.
- Didn't think you would.

You wanna know why?

Why?

'Cause you're looking at a B-.

You got a B-?

- Not too shabby, huh?
- There you go.

Look at you, turning into
a scholar on me.

I appreciate your help, man.
I really do.

And,

I'm sorry I just caught
the last bit of your, uh,

set there, so...

No, no, no, don't worry.

We got a whole 'nother set
coming up, so...

No worries, my friend,
we'll put you...

you know, you're with me,

so we'll put you right
up here at the front, okay?

That's great.

You can't just
stand there, though.

You gotta...
You gotta do that a lot.

You're incredibly stealthy.

- You could be like a glamorous jewel thief.
- Shut up.

You can go into breaking
and entering for a living.

What are you doing here, Lyla?

Can't seem to kick the habit.

If it's gonna end between us,

I guess I can't help that.

But...

it can't end the way
it did the other night.

I just wanted to be close
to you again, Jason.

I'm trying, Lyla.

I really am.

I love you.

I know.

Hey.

What are you doing?

I just don't
want him to go.

Come on.
Let's get ready for bed.

That's it.

Grandma's going into a home,
and I'm going to Oklahoma.

Want me to talk to him?

I'll talk to him, see if
we can work something out.

Nothing to work out.

Listen to me.
We're all family here.

I'll do anything I can for you.
You know that.

Hell, Buddy Garrity,

he ain't gonna let you
cross the state line

without finishing this season.

He'll call out the damn
national guard if he has to.

I hate him.

I hate my dad.

Hey, don't do that.

Don't make that mistake.

You think about
what you just said.

You get ready to go,
come inside.

I'll take you home.
