Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 1, Episode 14 - Upping the Ante - full transcript

Can I just say that
you're choosing to date

a football player?

He doesn't buy
into the whole jock thing.

People change.

Especially when they're
on the team.

Look, it's just some
pick-me-ups I've been taking.

What are you doing
to my son?

I don't know
what's going on here.

This!

Smash is not gonna be
playing the game Friday night.

What?



Am I off the team?

I should have reported this.

You're gonna get yourself clean.

Dad's down
in Corpus Christi.

He's working on a driving range.

Couple of postcards
every year

and he gets off scot-free!

I'm the one paying the bills
around here,

going out there and watching
your damn football games.

What's this?

You've been served.

Served by who?

Jason Street's family.

It's killing me to have
to do this to coach.



The lawyers, my parents,
maybe they're right.

Maybe if somebody teaches me
how to tackle somebody,

I'm not in a chair.

Why'd you set Lyla up
on a date with Ty Johnston?

I don't want Lyla to be

a caregiver her whole life, son.

These Buddy Garritys of this world,

they're a cancer to you and me.

Lyla Garrity...

will you marry me?

So

there's two cones
on either side of the goal.

There's two goals, one
on either side of the court.

You play on a basketball court.

And the goal is
to get this ball...

Y'all, watch those windows.

And you wheel yourself through
the finish...

That's okay.

You wheel yourself through the goal line
and that's how you score.

The position I really wanted

- is called the "picker."
- It's like the quarterback, right?

Right, right.

He kinda controls the flow
of the game

and he leads the breaks
and everything.

You gotta be really fast.

It's a really, really
hard position but

I think... I think
I'm good enough for it.

So is this what I see them
playing at the YMCA sometimes?

Oh, no, ma'am,
that's wheelchair basketball.

Oh.There's a huge difference.

Oh, yeah. Huge.

Well, there is
a big difference, Mr. Garrity.

The guys who play quad rugby,
they're world-class athletes.

Three of them won medals last
year at the world championship.

- Did they?
- Yeah.

I know, it's great.
It's a great hobby.

Come on, Dad, it's not a hobby.

You can't make a living from it,
honey, so

it must be a hobby.

You guys, let's come on in
and eat, all right?

You know what, Mr. Garrity?

What exactly do you have
against quad rugby again?

Nothing.

Yes, you do 'cause
every time I come over here,

- you're always making fun of it.
-Sweetie.

All I'm saying is it's not
a way to make a living.

So what are you
gonna live off of, huh?

- Lawsuit?
- Buddy, enough, okay?

Oh, is that what this is about, Mr. Garrity?
You still pissed off about the lawsuits?

- Yes, I am.
- What, are you a little kid?

Get over it!

Hey, let me tell
you something, son.

You're suing my team.
You're suing my coach.

- How do you expect me to feel?
- It's your team?

How about a little compassion,
Mr. Garrity?

I mean, I am paralyzed now.

- Jason.
- All right, play the game.

- Ply the gasme.
- I don't care. Play the game.

I will play the game,
Mr. Garrity.

- I will, I will.
- Do it.

And when I make
the national team

and I start touring
all over the world,

I'll take your daughter
with me.

How 'bout that?

'Cause we're getting married.

Excuse me?

- That's right.
- Married?

Yeah, we picked out a ring
this morning, didn't we?

Okay.

Daddy, please.

What are you doing?

What am I doing?
He's pushing me.

- Jason.
- Hey.

I'm not doing
anything wrong here, Lyla!

Lyla!

Friday Night Lights 1x14
Upping the Ante

Transcript: Raceman

Sync: Djarlaks2009 (OlegVers)

Good evening, football fans!

I'm Ralph Jarrett,
broadcasting live

from Applebee's

in Reiner Junction

for a special playoff edition

of Talkin' Panther Football.

You know, the brackets
have been set

and we know Dillon has drawn
the McNulty Mavericks

in the first round.

I'm going all the way
with him, baby.

The big question all over town
is Smash Williams

who got benched last week
and didn't play.

Is he gonna be able
to play this Friday night?

Let's get to the phone lines!

So who had
the quesadilla burger?

I did.

Anyways, he got exactly
what he deserved.

Shut up, man.

I mean, do you even know
what happened?

Are you a big shot now?

Want to take us
to state by yourself?

The point is, we won last week
without him.

How did your meeting
with Mr. Connolly go?

Um, it actually went
really good.

- Yeah?
- Um, well, I mean,

what I really want is
I want my own column,

you know, where I could
do reviews on movies and books

and concerts.

- That'd be cool.
- Julie Taylor's column on life.

Ladies and gentlemen,
we have a big treat.

I understand starting quarterback
Matt Saracen is in the house.

Maybe he'll come up
and join us.

Come on, Matt!

Sar-a-cen!
Sar-a-cen!

You really didn't have
to do this.

- I could stay right here.
- No, go, go.

Sar-a-cen!
Sar-a-cen!

And then straight from the radio,

Matt Saracen here.
Matt's sitting down here

talking about football.

I, uh...

Look, I'm so sorry.
I didn't think...

I mean, that guy can talk.

Seriously.
He doesn't stop talking.

No, it's cool.
You're the big star now, right?

No, I'm not a big star.
I didn't know that...

I'm sorry.

I thought it would just be, like, hi,

and then I came back,
and you were...

Matt, they wouldn't even
let me pay for dinner.

Tonight is
your night, my friend!

Saracen.
You're coming with.

No, I'm not.

- Let's go!
- I'm with Julie right now.

- Uh, no no no no...
- Seriously. Get in.

- Wait, where are you taking him?
- Duty calls!

Keep him in there.

- Uh...
- I'm-I'm sorry, but...

You can't just leave me here.

Sorry, it's a football thing.

- Yeah, but I need a ride home.
- Let's go!

They're making me do this.
I don't wanna...

Let's go!

- Whoo!
- Football.

You know, he's not coming back,
if that's what you're thinking.

Want a ride?

Uh, no thank you.

Um,
I'll just call my mom.

Okay.

Wait!

Are you sure you don't mind?

Yeah.

It's no problem.

I just gotta
pick my sister up first.

Okay, well, where's she at?

Working.

Strip club.

Two ways to fold a towel:

my way and the wrong way.
Let's do it right.

Yes, sir.

Game plan for Friday.

I want ten of 'em.

Binders and notebooks
over by the copier.

Right now?

Well, gee, yeah, Smash,

if it wouldn't be too much
of an inconvenience,

I'd appreciate it.

Hey, let me tell you something.

You think I'd rather be
here right now

with you at the crack of dawn

than be home with my family
cooking breakfast?

- Coach, I'm sorry.
- Huh?

- I'm sorry.
- You thinkin' about that?

Did you bring those test
results from the clinic?

- Yes, sir.
- Lemme see 'em.

- Coach, I didn't mean...
- You didn't mean what?

You didn't mean to risk my
reputation and my career?

Is that what
you were gonna say?

I got the chairman of the
district executive committee.

You know what he's doing?

He's calling me at home.

So you're not the only one

with your ass
on the line, Smash.

Yes, sir.

That's good!
Congratulations.

Sir, I still don't see
what the big deal is.

Why can't I just pay
the ticket and go?

Well, the problem's not so much
the speeding ticket.

It's your failure to appear.

Yes, sir.

You see,
I had an away game that day,

so I completely forgot...

Look, how about this:

you pay the fine,
you promise me you're not gonna

speed out there,
and I'll drop the charges.

If it's okay
with your folks.

Is it okay
if my brother signs for me?

Is he your legal guardian?

- Billy!
- What?

Are you his legal guardian?

Uh, no, technically
I'm not, but...

Look, you're a minor.
It has to be a parent

or a legal guardian.

Otherwise, I have
to take your license.

This is no joke, son.

Just get that signed.

All right, Your Honor.

Um, I'll just get my father
to sign it.

Just get it signed
and bring it back.

So last night
was the first time

I've ever stepped foot
in a strip club.

You don't say.

I know we were there
for, like, five minutes, but

does your sister ever get,
like, freaked out?

I mean, some of those guys
were completely creepy.

Yeah, well,

she's a big girl.

Plus, those guys
are pretty harmless.

Sad and pathetic,

but harmless.

Guess who her
biggest customer is?

Who?

Buddy Garrity.

Gross!

Okay.

No, it's up there.

That color
looks good on you.

You should get it.

I don't know.

I don't really
have the money for it.

What are you doing?

Tim, just let me sign
the stupid paper, man.

No, Billy.

I can't risk it.
It's my license.

What is this?

Some sort of work out my stuff
with dad thing?

What are you talking about?

Hey, Tim.

We haven't even seen
the guy in two years, man.

We don't even know
if he still lives here.

I'm sure
it'll be fine, Billy.

All right, I'm good.

Hey.

Come here.

Do not believe a word that
that man says, okay?

Because he is a total liar.

And do not get drunk
with him

because he is a mean son
of a bitch when he's loaded.

Billy, it's a signature.

That's all I'm gettin'.

All right.All right.
You got money?

Yeah, I got money.

Here. Uh, take that.

Whatever you do, do not,

under any circumstances,

give that money to him.

I understand, Billy.

All right.

All right. Thank you.

Hey!

See ya soon!

Yeah.

No, you are not going
to a concert on a weeknight.

But it's not just any concert.

I mean, it's the Old 97s
and they're awesome.

Well, if they're so awesome,
why don't they get a gig on a weekend?

What do I have
to do to make this work?

I will get on the floor
and start groveling.

Honey,
what about your homework?

I'll get it done...

before I leave
and you can check it

and I'll stay in
on Saturday.

And you and me and dad,

we can have, like,
a family night.

Oh, honey, don't grovel.

It's not becoming.

Please?

All right.

You have to be in by 11:00,

not one second later.

Yes, ma'am.

And don't tell your father.
Let me break it to your father.

All you!

Hey, where's your coat?

Put your coat on!

Hurry up.

And make sure the door locks
when you close it!

Hurry up!

Throwed his sorry ass out
six months ago, Sugar.

Well, do you know
where I can find him, ma'am?

Well, he used to hustle golf
down at Jackson Crest.

It's a little piece of crap muni
somewhere out in the boonies.

All right.
I'll try him there.

- Thank you.
- You bet.

Hey, if you see him,
I want you to do something for me.

I want you to tell him

that I want my
Conway Twitty back.

They don't have him
at Target no more.

All right!

Knock her close, buddy.

No, knock her close.

Nice shot, that'll save you
a couple bucks.

Oh, well.
It's just money, right?

The bill is 60.

Thanks, gentlemen.
Enjoy your money.

Oh, I will.

Hit that driving range.

Good God in heaven.

Timmy?

Well come on!

Give your old man a hug!

Come here, boy.

I guess I'm in no position

to be offering up
any fatherly advice.

You know, given...

given the circumstances.

You just want me
to sign right here?

Yeah.

Thanks.

All right.

Thanks.

So how you doing?

- I'm fine.
- Yeah?

- Really?
- Yeah.

How about you?

Well, I'm good.

Real good.

Yeah, I'm on...I'm on
the wagon now.

You know, I've been sober, uh,

six weeks next Tuesday.

Nice.

Otherwise, I'd be buying
you a beer.

Well, that's all right.

I gotta drive anyways, so...

Oh. Well...

Yeah.

- Anyways, I sh...
- Can you hang out for a while?

Yeah.

Yeah, I could...

I could stay for a bit.

Well, I got $200 burning
a hole in my pocket

from Manny, Moe, and Jack out there.
Are you hungry at all?

I could eat.

Good.

Okay, okay.

I'm sorry.

I didn't want it
to happen like that.

- I really didn't.
- It's okay.

I swear.

I know.
It's kinda my fault too.

I don't know why I felt like
I had to hide it from them.

I know you're gonna think this is

a total girl thing, and I'm crazy, but...-

but I just...
I've always had this vision,

you know, of my wedding,

and I'd be 25.

There'd be this huge reception

and dancing and toasts.

You don't know if you can do
all that with me now.

No, Jason.

If you're gonna be honest,
just...

No, that has nothing to do with

it being you. It's just

I haven't even
applied to a college yet.

And you haven't even said
whether or not you're...

Oh, you think I'm not going
to college now?

I don't know.

I mean, I assume you are,

but all you talk about is...

Lyla, I lost my legs, not my brain.

Okay, I'm gonna go to school.

And I'm gonna get a job.

And we'll have friends.
We'll have a big house

and a picket fence
and a couple of puppies

and that whole thing
you dream about.

No, Jason!

Getting married's
not gonna change that.

I have a life too.

- I know.
- No,

sometimes I don't think
you care about that anymore.

Or you think it's lame.

And it scares me, Jason.

- No, that's not it at all.
- I just think that

we're too young right now
and we're rushing into this.

And I don't want to make a mistake.

Message received, Lyla.

Loud and clear.

Can you please
get my chair for me?

Yeah.

Blue, 20, hut!

You gotta get
up on him, Smash!

Get out of the sack!
Come on, Smash! Pick it up!

What the hell
are you walking for?

God.

Dang.

- Coach...
- Let's go.

Not as much fun when
you're blocking, is it, huh?

Just doing my job, man.

Just doing my job.

Smash, you better get
your head out front!

- You gotta drive his ass!
- Yes, sir.

Well, I can see teaching him
a lesson, coach, but...

Let's go!

It's not gonna do us much good
Friday night if he's hurt.

Who said he was gonna play
Friday night? Let's go!

Come on, Eric,
you gotta be kidding me.

Baxter can't hold
Smash's jock.

Let's go!

- Hey, you're the coach.
- Run the ball!

It's your team.

God, I'm tired of this!

But you know tomorrow night
will be good.

That's gonna be
a lot of fun.

You know what, Buddy,

I'm trying to win
a play-off game here.

I don't have time
to talk about a damn TV show.

It's tradition.

It's simple.
All you gotta do is go up there

and smile pretty, talk about
football for half an hour.

It'll be easy.
You'll love it.

It's all about football.

Let's go!
Hustle up now!

- Attaboy!
- How's he gonna get outside...

And besides, remember, you get a nice
little appearance fee for doing it.

Wait a sec!
Hold up, hold up!

Look, I'm really sorry.
I know you wanted to go to the concert

Yeah, that's kinda the point,
saying you invited me.

- Right...
- But, you know, no biggie.

I just pretty much sold my soul
to my mother for permission.

It's just, you know,

your dad asked me,

and well, I've never been
on TV before.

Okay, so if my dad
wasn't involved,

are you excited?

Yeah, a little bit.

Then you should go.

- You rea...
- But!

You have to remember
this moment

when I officially became
the coolest

and most understanding girl
in the world.

Okay, I will.
I'll keep that in mind.

Are you mad?

A little,
but I'll get over it.

Good...

because

I also need you to watch
my grandma while I do it?

Please?

Sure. Why not?

See, you are the coolest, most
understanding girlfriend in the world.

Girlfriend?

All right, girl.

'Cause I'm hoping...

- Please?
- No.

- Do not "no"...
- No!

Yeah, baby, that's
what I'm talking about!

- Fish in a barrel!
- Nice shot.

Not too shabby.

Hey, here she is.

Hanna Banana.

- Come here.
- Oh, hey, Walt.

This is my boy Tim.

Take care of him.
Whatever he wants.

All right,
I'll be back in a minute.

- Okay.
- Okay, thank you. Thank you.

Oh, my God,

so you're the son, huh?

Nice to meet you.

You know, he talks
about you all the time.

Really?

Oh, yeah.

Every Saturday when he comes
in here for league,

we get the whole update,

who you played

the score,

how many touchdowns you made.

Oh, he is so proud.

And congratulations

for making it
to the playoffs by the way.

- Check it out.
- Check it out.

- Oh, baby!
- My God.

A new ball.

He's only waited
on that for a month.

This is a weapon.

You're in serious trouble,
my friend.

Don't go hurting yourself.

No, I won't.
Thank you.

Okay, honey.

Bye, sweetie.

I'll see ya later.

I appreciate it.

Hey, uh,

if we're still gonna grab
that bite to eat later,

maybe it's best I stay
at your place tonight.

What do you think?

Yeah, man!

Bring it on.

I got a couch with your name
written all over it.

All right.

Hey!

All right, this should be
the screen pass to Riggins

when we finally score here.

- It's the play after this.
- Hang on a second.

No, Coach...
If you hit forward...

Hang on a second.
I know what I'm doing.

I smell Emmy.

Yeah, well, I'm gonna have

to renegotiate
that appearance fee.

- If you just hit it once...
- Stop!

Hey, there's something wrong
with the clicker.

There's something wrong
with the clicker!

- We'll...we'll work...
- Ow.

Okay...

Let's not do
the game film right now.

Obviously we have a problem
with the clicker.

Let's do the interview.

Uh, Coach, just relax,

and have a conversation.

What would you like us
to have a conversation about?

'Bout football.

Oh, that's great.

Okay, let's do that.

Anything specific?

Matt, why don't you ask him,
uh, some questions?

Good? Yeah.

That's a good idea.

Okay. When you're ready.

Well, okay, um...

I think what
everyone wants to know

is, um,

is Smash gonna play on Friday?

What the hell kind
of question is that?

You're supposed to be helping
me out here, Saracen.

- Well, I just thought...
- Don't be goofy.

Just ask a normal question.

Let's get this over with

That's what
everybody's been asking.

Ask him about the tight end.

You find everything
in there, honey?

Uh, yeah.

Everything's good.

Uh, here's your sandwich.

Mm. Thank you.

Good.

I got it.

Is it okay?

Um...
I invited a friend over.

I guess so.

I like company all right.

All right, that's
the end of it, huh?

That's all the other.

That's all
the other we got.

I mean, that's one
of the reasons I swore

I'd never date
a football player.

Oh, honey, Matt's
not really a football player.

No offense.

Oh, that's all right.

All right, but now that
he's acting like one

here's what
you gotta do.

Number one rule
in dating a Dillon Panther,

always let him know
you have options.

But I do have options.

I'm gonna join
the school paper.

I mean, like,
the basketball team.

They hate that.

But I don't know anybody
on the basketball team.

Isn't that just kinda stupid?

Okay, but see,
he doesn't have to know that.

I'm telling you, he's gonna
have these rally girls

fawning all over him
until Spring, okay?

You gotta elevate your game.

Look, Eric,

I have always loved Jason
like my son.

I still do.

But this is my daughter
we're talking about.

And the bottom line is

Jason's a quadriplegic.

Now, I know it's not PC
to say that,

but I have to think
about my daughter.

She's my responsibility.
I gotta think about her life.

I'll tell you something.
Jason Street's a good kid.

He's gonna succeed
no matter what he does.

Just give him some time.
The last thing you wanna do

is pressure them.

That's gonna come around
and bite you in the ass

- if you do that.
- Yeah.

- They're smart kids. They'll deal with it.
- Yeah.

I thought they were smart.

I thought that till they tell me
they're getting married.

They're just in high school.

I mean, maybe someday in the
future if things work out.

So please just talk to Jason.

- I'll do that.
- He respects you.

- Thanks.
- I'll do that.

If someone would talk
to his parents,

maybe I wouldn't be
getting sued right now.

Yeah, I wish I could talk
to them for you. Hey!

That was a great job in there.

- Thanks.
- Yeah.

Child, where you been?

It's almost time for Leno!

Boy!

You been runnin'
this whole time?

Mostly.

I stopped once or twice.

Oh, I think you need
to slow down.

- Don't even worry about it.
- Oh, I do worry about it.

That's my job.

That's your job?

Well, I'm doing
my job too, Mama.

All right, I'm so tired

I can barely finish my sets

without feeling
like I'ma fall over and die.

I know.
It's that poison.

Your body just needs time
to adjust.

Mama, I don't have any time!

You know what it's like
over there?

It's like blood in the water!

I mean, I got Baxter trying

to steal my job!

And Coach watching me
like a hawk!

So, no, no!
I'm not gonna slow down!

At least not right now!

I just worry about you.

I know...

All Jason wanted
to do was slalom.

I bet I was in that boat
with him for three hours

trying to get him up.

Going round and round.
You remember?

Yeah.

I remember.

He was pretty pissed that day.

I don't think J's gonna be doing

too much more skiing anymore
though.

It's a damn shame.

He's good people, that kid.

Yep.

How's Billy doing?

Good.
He actually says

to say hi.

Did he really?

No. Not at all really.

You know, Billy's all right.

I know he hates me.
I don't blame him.

You were

too young,

but he saw some things
that...

I'm not too proud of.

Dad, I was ten.
I wasn't blind.

Hey, did you
call your coach?

Yeah, I did,

and he's pretty rattled
for missing two practices.

Yeah. I reckon.

It's worth it though.

So what do you think of Parcells?

Stick around
for another year or what?

Maybe get a ring.
Friggin' Cowboys?

No, no friggin' Cowboys.
I'm gonna start rooting for the Saints.

No kidding.

Next on number one tee will be

the Riggins twosome.

Riggins.

$5 Nassau.

Automatic presses

when you're down two.

All right, well, that's not fair
'cause I got rentals.

Which is why I'm giving you
six strokes.

Now don't be a whiner.

Well, let's up the ante then.

I win,

you come to Dillon
on Friday to watch me play.

Deal?

Uh-huh.
What if I win?

If you win,

which you won't...

I won't tell that gal Lydia
where you live.

That's a good one.

It's pretty good.

You're on.

Let's see what you got.

Long and wrong.

Did you hit a car?

Maybe.

Nothing another swing can't
take care of, you know.

No, no, this ain't the LPGA,
you weenie.

There's no mulligans.

Come on.

All right.

All right.

Hut!

Get there.
Get there.

Man, these guys
are flat today.

Where's our energy?

All right, come on,
let's hurry back!

I'll tell you
what the problem is...

Come here!

Somebody took the smash
out of the Smash.

Get over here.

What the hell's wrong
with you today?

What?

What the hell's wrong
with you?

Pro left 24 pitch.

I hit the right gap.

Yeah, you did fine.

Congratulations.

You know what though?
Fine doesn't win playoff games.

You're out here to win
or you go home, understood?

I was just doing what I'm told.

You know what?
Don't talk back to me.

Talking back to me.

- Think you're special?
- I'm sorry.

You can talk back to me now?
Know what I what you to do?

I want you to go
down the end zone.

You give me 20 suicides.

Coach!

- 20...
- 20 suicides!

In the end zone right now,
Brian!

Let's go!

Dank, I want some fire out here!

Now let's do something!

Somebody in there.

We're gonna run the slants
and nail on one.

- Ready?
- Break.

- Set!
- Sweetheart,

not for nothing,

but you are tied up

in knots right now.

You're wound up
like a drum.

Wound up?

Yes, you are.

And you know what?

It's where Smash is gettin' it.
You know?

What the hell
is that supposed to mean?

Well, I think, you know,
style filters down, babe.

- "Style filters down"?
- Yeah.

What does that mean?

It means, I know
he made a mistake.

I know it really
pissed you off.

It really pissed me off too.

But you know what?
He's a boy...

He made a mistake.

And he is trying so desperately
to get back

in your good graces.

It seems to me
you're so hard on him

that he's losing his confidence.

He's losing his passion.

That's not gonna help you
one bit on Friday night.

Here, put those over there.

I think you need
to talk to him.

I think you need
to turn that around.

Can you put these
in the back pantry, please?

There we go again.

I'm actually getting kinda tired

of hitting the green every time.

Not bad.

A little quick
on your release though.

Thanks, Mr. Nicklaus.

I actually would take
a swing tip from you

if I wasn't kicking your ass
right now.

You're only two up.

There's plenty of golf
left to play.

Yeah, yeah.

Let me ask you something.

You feeling the pressure
right now?

Uh, not really.

I've seen you putt.

Ready, set, go!

Hey,

mind if I sit down?

Oh, no.
Go ahead.

Yeah!

Yeah!

We used
to have a kid like that

in the neighborhood
when I was growing up.

I was that kid.

Yeah, I see
the resemblance.

Yeah!

Yeah!

The reason I've been
so hard on you is...

'Cause I let you down.

Look, I appreciate you coming
down here, Coach.

But

I don't need
you to like me,

okay?
I've made peace with that.

So I'ma just do
what I need to do on my own.

No, that's not what
I want you to do.

That's not what football's
all about.

You wanna fly solo,
you go run track.

Sometimes we take this
so serious,

we lose track of exactly why
it is we love

this damn game so much,

why it is we play this game.

I'm guilty of that.

Hey.

Hey, are you
really Coach Taylor?

I am.

Well, you get ready for me.

I'll be there the first day
of practice in 2014.

Running back.

Remember the name, Coach,

Miles Shepard.

Miles Shepard.

- Shepard.
- Yup, that's my name.

All right,
I'll tell you what.

You give me a call when you get
out of pee-wee.

I'll do that, sir.

Nice.

Smash, you wanna play?

I need a challenge, dog.

- Y'all wanna play some football?
- Yeah!

Let's go!

- All right, let's do it.
- Yeah!

Old Smash wants to get his

head handed to him.

All right, who's on my team?
Who's on my team?

Come here, girls.

Hut-hut-hut!

Go, go, go, go!

Bring her out,
bring her out, bring her out.

Come on, Coach!

I'm gonna give you a flag.

Yes!

It's a ballgame
right there, boy!

Ah!

That was
a good effort, partner.

You had me worried there
for a minute.

What?

You thought I was gonna
let you win?

You know what, if you
didn't wanna come to the game,

you could have just said so.

It would have been
a lot easier.

Listen to me, all right?

This bit...

I mean...

Seeing you, you coming here,

it's great hanging out with you.
And you're welcome here

any time, but me going to Dillon

that's a whole
different thing.

Apparently.

It is, son.

It is.

Billy was right.

I shouldn't have come here
in the first place.

- It was a mistake.
- Hang on, now.

- You made the bet,
- It was a mistake.

and I beat you
fair and square!

Congratulations!

Is that what you need right now?

Hey, you be a man...

- Be a man.
- Is that you win?

- Come over here, and shake my hand.
- You win!

Hey!

Timmy!

You get back over here

and shake my hand!

Hey.

So how was it?

Got the signature.

Dad says hi.

I can't believe
you spent the night.

What the hell is that?

What's going on?

Did you order up
some rally girls?

I don't know, maybe.

Hi, Tim.

- How you doin', ladies?
- It's time to go.

I'll take some mental notes, Billy.

Hey, Matt.

Time to go!

Help these girls
with their fundraising.

Why are you touching me?

Bye!

Bye.

Oh, my God!

Perfect.

That's definitely
Mr. October.

Seriously, I don't know
if I can do this.

What don't you know?

If Julie finds out
about this...

Listen,

you're gonna take
a few pictures.

It's for charity.

Tell me straight up,

are you whipped?

Hey, y'all didn't tell me I need
to bring my own wardrobe.

Smash, hey!

- Hey, what's up?
- What's up, Smash?

- How you doin', Matty?
- Good.

Hey, I didn't expect
to see you here, man.

I didn't know you had it
in you, baby.

Come on, Matt!

You're gonna be my Mr. November.

Come on, Matty, give me
a little Hugh Hefner.

Smash, help me out.

Seriously, take it off!

Let me do it with my shirt on.

Wait, this is seriously...

Oh, oh!

That's for charity!

Come on, Matty, strike a pose!

It's infuriating.

- I'm furious.
- I know.

I mean, how could
the Streets

just listen to some lawyer

who tells them
that they need to sue us?

Baby, you know
what you're doing, don't you?

I know, I know. I'm making it worse

I know, I know I need
to just

calm down.

I need to just be supportive.

- I wanna go with you today.
- No

- Yes.
- No.

I can have my appointments

just changed to tomorrow.

You know what?
There's gonna be...I need that.

There are gonna be times
when I need you over

at the courthouse
and times when I don't need you.

Believe me,
today I do not need you.

It's only gonna be a hearing.

If I did need you,
I'd let you know.

But I love you very much
for suggesting it.

I'm all good.

But thank you.

I know.

How you doing?

I'm doing fine, Coach.
How you doing?

Good.

You know we're really not supposed
to be talking too much right now.

Screw the lawyers.
It's not about the case.

I heard about you and Lyla.

I know what I want.
I don't see why it's such a big deal.

I'll tell you what,
it's not a cure-all.

It's the biggest damn commitment
you're gonna be making in your life.

Y'all are young.
You better make sure.

You better make damn sure.

I am sure.

I am sure.

It's her that

maybe is not so sure.

It seems like she needs a little

time to work some stuff out.

No one's telling you
you shouldn't get married.

What they're saying
is just take some time,

feel it out.

Who knows, though? You make
your future father-in-law happy,

you might be able to squeeze
a damn big-ass party out of him.

I don't...

I do not know
about that, sir.

You should have se how pissed
off he was when I told him.

- Was he?
- You shoulda seen him,

]that big head of his.
It was all red and...

All right, Coach.

Hey, Coach.

I'm sorry they're making
you do this on game day.

It wasn't my choice.

See y'all in there.

Hey.

Hey.
I didn't see you in math.

Um,

did, uh...

Did you finish the book?

I did.

What'd you do last night?

Um, nothing, I just

went to work.

And then I went home.

I saw the calendar.

Wh-what?

A bunch of the rally girls were
passing it around this morning.

No, see, they totally
kidnapped me, like,

like, with Riggins
the other night.

But nothing happened.

So it's...

nothing happened at all.

Why'd you lie about it?

I don't know.
That was dumb.

My head's just all foggy

for some reason.

I can't imagine why.

Julie, I'm sorry.
Okay?

You know what?

I'm sorry too.

- No, don't say that.
- I'm sorry for trusting you.

But I don't appreciate
getting lied to.

So why don't you go

with your little rally girls

and your football friends
and just leave me alone.

Pure basic stuff.

I'm sorry.

I was on the other side
of campus.

You wanted to see me,
Coach?

You're starting to tailback
tonight.

What the hell? You want a hug
or something? Get out of here.

Go ahead.

Oh, Lord, God, we just ask

that you be with us
on the field tonight.

God, we just ask that you just
inspire us to greatness right now.

God, we ask

that you protect us, Oh, Lord.

We ask that you make us proud
in defeat

and humble in victory.

But either way, God, we just ask
that you be with us.

God, you know how much we been

through this season.

God, we know that this game
is the key to our destiny, God.

So we just ask that you give us
courage right now.

God, we just ask that you give
us strength right now.

We just ask that you bless

each hand that we hold.
Bless all the fans

and everybody out there
under those lights tonight,

Amen.

Amen!

No tellin', baby.

It's all you done, baby.

Put it up!
Put it up!

I said clear hearts!

Full hearts!

Can't lose!

Clear hearts!

Full hearts!

- Can't lose!
- Clear Hearts!

- Full hearts!
- Can't lose!

Come on, baby! Let's go!

Tim!

Hey, Tim!

What are you doing?

I need
an extra ticket.

Too bad, Billy.
The game's about to start.

- You know that.
- Tim!

What?

Dad's here.
