Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 1, Episode 22 - State - full transcript

You ever think
about coaching?

Lyla,
it's not what you think.

It really isn't.

You know what?
I'm done.

I know you're upset,
but I really need...

I'm not upset.
Please don't come back.

I just woke up
with the worst feeling

that we shouldn't move
to Austin.

(Tami)
When you go into TMU today,

please just don't commit
to them.

(Boyd)
We've gotta know something



and we've gotta know it now.

Gentlemen, I accept.

I'm moving.
What do you mean?

My dad took this job
at TMU.

I'm not going
to Austin.

(announcer #1)
Dillon is going to State!

State, baby!

We're going to State!

Let's go, Panthers!

(crowd)
Let's go, Panthers!

(Smash)
I said, let's go, Panthers!

(crowd)
Let's go, Panthers!

All right,
give it up for yourselves.

Give it up for yourselves.



(Smash)
Look, hey talk to 'em, Matt.

I mean, I just...

I got nothing but respect
for Voodoo and that whole team.

No, no, no, no.

We gonna shut Ray Tatom down.

You want destiny,
Voodoo?

We gonna give you destiny.
Saturday, Dallas.

Lyla, honey,
I need to talk to you.

Lyla.

Lyla, please.
I need to talk to you, honey.

(Street)
It's just good to be a part of
the team again and...

it feels like
I've come full circle.

Hey, Landry.

Hey.

So it's good to see
that you're out of the house

and everything.

Look, it goes
against my basic principle

to go to this game.

But, um...

Tim gave me
his players' tickets

and it seemed pretty important
to him that I go.

So...

you wanna drive with me
to State?

I mean, the seats are
on the 50-yard line.

So I mean,
it might be fun.

Okay, so just go
with you...

to Dallas?

Yeah.

Yeah, sure.

Sounds good.
Cool.

All right.
See ya later then.

Okay.

And then I'm working
on my mom.

Maybe she'll let me stay
in August

at either Tyra's
or Lois' or...

I'd-I'd try for Lois.

And then we have Christmas.

And we have Thanksgiving.

(Saracen)
We'll make it work,
okay?

Hey!

You all right?

Yeah.

Have you seen your mother?
She's supposed to be here.

Honey, I'm sorry.

I'm sorry
I couldn't be there.

I had to get
that press release out.

The stupid computer
broke down again.

Well, that's 'cause you push
the wrong button

on the thing
every time.

I know.
You know what?

I'm on my way there.
I'm so sorry.

All right.

Okay.
Honey, I gotta go.

I'll see ya soon.
Bye.

Hi.

Could I have
a pregnancy test?

Honey, we are just
extremely busy today.

I see that.
I know.

How...how's next Tuesday?

It's just,
I'm six days late already.

And I...I'm never late.

I'm like kind of
a Rolex watch like that.

And I ate fish tacos
on Monday night

that kind of disagreed
with me.

It could just be the tacos
kinda rumbling around in there.

But I just wanna make sure

if it's that
and not something else.

They do have
home pregnancy tests.

I know,
but I haven't been home.

I'm going to Dallas.
I can't...I can't wait.

I just feel like
I need to know now

if...if that's possible.

Hey!
How are you?

I'm good.
I can take care of you.

Oh, that'd be great.
Come on.

Thanks.

Thanks.
I appreciate that.

How pregnant
do you wanna be?

'Cause you extremely
pregnant.

Hmm. Okay.

Well, do you wanna be
pregnant, honey?

Do I wanna be...
I don't know.

Do I wanna be pregnant?
I don't...

I'm sorry.
I didn't mean that.

I mean...

did you plan this?

I mean, we planned it
like 13 years ago, you know.

And then 12 years ago,
and 11 years ago,

and then ten years ago.

And we have
our beautiful girl.

We figured, well,
that's what we have.

And maybe having another one
just wasn't in God's plan,

you know?

Looks like
God changed his mind.

Sync: Djarlaks2009 (OlegVers)

just put
Grandma

in the back of your car.

Hey, can, uh,

can you come ovehere
and try this?

That's all you need.

Okay.
Well?

Well what?

The cocoa bean
and the chocolate,

among many other things,

is a known aphrodisi.

The point is Tyra
and yours truly

are going to be driving
in a car alone

for four straight hours.

I'm gonna be playing
some sexy Crucifictorious

and we're gonna be eating
on these very fine,

delicate,
erotic chocolates.

And this is...this may be

the single most
defining moment of my life.

So you may need
to tell your grandma

to take the damn bus.

Hey.

Tim, I thought
we weren't gonna...

No, I know.

It's not what you think.

Look...

these are my State tickets.

And I want Bo
to have these.

You're at 50-yard line.

And they're good seats.

And I think
he'd enjoy it.

They're for Bo?

They're for Bo.

So here.

Wow.
Take 'em.

No pressure.

If...if you don't go,
that's...that's fine too.

I mean, you can sell 'em
on eBay or something for...

get him a PSP
or whatever he's playing now.

All right.
That's it.

Say hi to him for me,
okay?

Enjoy it.

Who is that?

It's me.
What's up?

Listen,
I wanna ask you a question

before I go.

Shoot.

Did you tell Matt Saracen
I took that job at TMU?

No.

You're sure.
Yeah.

You're sure
you're sure?

Okay, well, I had to.

Dammit, Julie.
What did I tell you?

What's going on?

I'll telyou
what's happening right now.

Your daughter,
in all her infinite wisdom,

has informed Matt Saracen
that I took the job at TMU.

That's what's going on
right now.

It's not my problem.
Jules!

What?!

Hey, it's nice to see you.
How are you doing today?

Well, honey, no.
I mean, I'm sorry.

I had...I had a number of things
that I had to do.
Oh, yeah?

I had a number of things
to do too.

I wanted to talk to you
this morning.

I tried to talk to you
this afternoon.

I'm trying to talk
to you now.

But, oh, gosh!
You know what?

It's time for me
to catch a bus.

So I really can't do
any talking right now

'cause I gotta get
outta here.

Honey, I need to talk to you
just for a brief moment

before you leave
for Dallas, please.

Go ahead.

What is it?
I'm all ears.

I gotta catch a bus.
I know.

You know what?
It can wait.
I got a bus to catch.

I'll talk to you
in Dallas.

I love you.
I hope you have
a great trip.

Bye.
All right.

Hey.

What's up?

What do you mean, what's up?
Where's my tickets?

What do you mean,
where's your tickets?

I gave 'em away.

I can't believe
you'd do that.

You don't even like football
anyways.

Well, I know that.

But it was nice to,
you know,

have somebody offer me
the good seats for once.

You know what?
Forget it, Tim!

No, wait.
Hey, hey, hey!

Come here!
Gimme one second.

Hey, look.
Four.

Four where?
Four tickets.

Where?

Those are nosebleeds.

I'll see ya there?

(Taylor)
Matt.

Come here.

I know
Julie talked to you.

I-I don't wanna talk
about it, sir.

You don't wanna talk
about it.

No, I'd rather just think
about football.

Sir.

All right.

Hey, Mindy.
How's the stripping going?

Momma, let's go!
Our ride's here.

Oh, hey.

Um, I'm probably gonna be riding
up front with you

'cause I get
a little carsick, okay?

Grab this one.
There's another one over there.

It turns out
that I got four tickets

instead of two.

So I hope you don't mind
that my mom and sis tag along.

There's more...
more bags inside.

Okay, that's no problem.

Hurry up!

(Angela)
Oh, God!

These are incredible! Mm!

Have you tried these?

I have. I'm really glad that
you're enjoying 'em though.

I don't know
what's in these, but...

I just feel sort of tingly
all over.

[giggling]

I'm a little
premenstrual too, so...

I know I'm hogging them,
everybody,

but that's all right.

I'll pass it around
in a minute.
Is that Mrs....

Is that Mrs. Saracen?

(Tyra)
What are you doing?

(Landry)
Hold on.

Mrs. Saracen,
you need a ride?

That's mighty nice of you.

Do y'all got room
for me?

Hey, Lorraine.

Oh, my Lord!
Is that Tyra?

It sure is.

Did you bring the booze?

Tomorrow,

every seat in this stadium's
gonna be filled up.

It's what
we've been waiting for.

I've what
we've worked so hard for.

Does it get better
than this?

No, sir.

Ah, hell.
I don't think it does.

Soak it in.

[cheering and applauding]

(Taylor)
Listen up.

Stay inside yourselves.
We can beat these guys.

(Smash)
I take Matt Saracen
over Ray "Voodoo" Tatom

any day of the week.

Matt Saracen?
Yeah, I know him.

I know everything there is
about him.

Honestly,
there's not much to him.

Well, I didn't really know
Voodoo that well.

He only played one game
for us.

So I didn't have that much time
to get to know him.

My defensive line is gonna
squash him like a moth...

like a flea.

Voodoo's flashy,
but anybody could be flashy.

You know, Matt Saracen,
he's got a lotta heart,

and he's...he's creative.

And when he's done
getting squashed,

maybe he can sit
on the sidelines

and watch me do my thing.

Maybe he can learn
something.

It's football.
It's nothing personal.

But if you ask me
if it's gonna feel good

to put Ray "Voodoo" Tatom
in his place,

you're damn right
it will.

Well, it's a big
football game.

Big stadium,
a lotta pageantry.

Everything goes
as we hope,

we're gonna be taking
that trophy back to Dillon

to the fans.

It's been a tough year on them.
They deserve it.

(reporter)
So then how does it feel
to be leaving?

Excuse me?

(reporter)
Isn't it true
you accepted the position

at, uh, TMU next season?

Well, no, right now,

we're just focusing
on this game.

I'm sorry.
You didn't answer my question.

Isn't it true you took
the position next season at TMU?

Yes.
Yes, that is true.

Thank you very much.

(reporter)
Thank you.

You drive one of these
to Dallas to the game.

Just pick the color.

And if y'all do it today,

I'll give you a couple
of 40-yard line tickets

to the State game.

Hold on just a second.

Y'all just think
about a color.

I'll be right back with you.
I gotta take care of something.

Excuse me.
Hey, baby.

I am so glad you came here.
I cannot believe how glad...

What's this?

The keys.
I don't want it.

What?
Here's the title.

What are you talking about?
I don't want it.

What do you mean
you don't want it?

You need a car!

I got a car.
I got a used car from Crespo's.

You bought a car
from that rabid crook?

I liked him.

Lyla,
where are you going?

Where...honey,
you can't walk home.

At least let me give you
a ride home. Lyla!

my day-ee-ay-ee-ay ♪

♪ Gitchi, gitchi

Ya, ya, ya.

♪ Mocca chocolata ya, ya ♪

(Mrs. Saracen)
Ya, ya.

♪ Creole Lady Marmalade ♪

Okay, okay, okay.

I think it's safer

if we just keep the radio off
for about ten minutes...

I think we just took
a little detour

into the "no-fun" zone.
Shoot.

We're gonna have to stop.
I forgot Tampaxes.

Anyone have one?

(Mrs. Saracen)
Don't look at me.

I had my last hot flash

in 1990.

Here you go.

(Mrs. Saracen)
Oh, wait a minute.

Did anybody fart?

I know I smelled something.

Who is that?
Is that Lyla Garrity?

(Tyra)
Wait, Lyla Garrity,
daughter of the car king,

you know, stranded.

(Angela)
I like it.

(Tyra)
Wait, why...

why are we backing up
right now?

What's going on?

(Landry)
I mean, I gotta stop.

It's the Christian thing
to do.

You've gotta be kidding me
right now.

No.
You know
who that is?

(Landry)
You okay?
Yeah.

Hey, cheating cheerleader bitch.
You want a ride?

Oh, she doesn't want a ride.

That...that didn't sound
very Christian either.

Let's just keep going.
Let's just drive.

Tyra, I'm not gonna
just drive away

and leave her here.

Why not?
I don't...
I can't.

Oh, because
of the Christian thing.

Yeah. Would you please
just get out and talk to her?

Why don't you check
on her?

(Mrs. Saracen)
Well, she needs help,
sweetheart.

You go on.

I hate all of you.

Please don't slam my door...

Garrity,
get in the damn car!

(Lyla)
No, thank you.

Garrity!

You know what?
Can I ask you something, Tyra?

Fire away.
Why do you hate me
so much?

Oh, I don't know.
That's easy.

Maybe the fact
that your dad slept with my mom

and then tried to pay her off
with $700

or the fact that you slept
with my boyfriend.

How about that?
You know what?

My parents are getting
a divorce.

So you weren't the only one
that was hurt by that, okay?

And you've been flirting
with Jason

ever since freshman year.

That's what I do!
That is who I am!

Everyone knows that.
I wasn't gonna do him.

And the thing
that happened with Riggins.

You guys were all ready
broken up.

Are you kidding me?

You know, I heard that
you and Jason Street

were having problems.

Maybe I should go sleep
with him.

I'm sorry.

Not accepted.

You know what?
You're a bitch!

Yeah, you know what?
I am.

But I don't accept it
'cause you didn't mean it.

You have no idea
how that felt.

Actually, you'll be glad to know
I know exactly how that felt.

And I'm sorry.

Wait. Jason got
with someone else?

Well...we have food.

It's French fries,
but it's something.

They're chocolates there.
Be careful you don't squish 'em.

(Mindy)
Now can we go to Dallas?

Can you shut up?

I want the commitment
that I can spend

at least four weeks
during the summer

in Dillon.

Sweetie,
I've said to you already

I can't talk to you
about this right now.

Why can't we talk about it
right now?

No, no, no.

My whole relationship
with Matt...

Honey, stop it!

You are talking to me
about something

that is six months away.

We have no idea
what will be happening

or where we'll be
in six months.

Right now, I'm just trying
to get us to Dallas

and through
this damn football game.

So just stop badgering me!
[scoffs]

You don't have to yell.

Sorry.

Go get 'em.
Coach.

Go get 'em tomorrow.

Let's go, guys.

Let's go.
Good to see y'all.

Coaches.

I heard y'all had some kinda
little game out here tomorrow.

(McGill)
Yes, we do!

(Buddy)
Y'all ready?

(McGill)
Yeah.
Let's go get 'em.

Y'all mind
if I have just a moment alone

with the coach?

Eric, you mind?

Let me tell you something
before you even start in.

When I first took
this job,

I took it with an idea
of a five-year commitment.

But when I sat down
with you and the boosters,

I never heard
any similar commitment come

from the other side.

Matter of fact,
all I heard was,

after we lost the second game
of the year,

is that my ass was about
to be fired.

I just wanna make that
real clear right now.

So yes, I did put my career
ahead of Panther football.

Eric, I just came by

to tell you how much
I'm gonna miss you.

You're a fine
football coach.

That's what I came
to tell you.

(Buddy)
And now, everybody...

it's my pleasure
to introduce the man

who has taken this team
to State this year...

his first year

as the head coach
of the Dillon Panthers:

my friend...

Eric Taylor!

[applause]

I'm gonna
cut through the crap.

I believe I know what you all
are thinking right now.

Y'all are thinking,

"Coach is a bastard
for taking this job."

I would say to that,

that y'all have dreams.

A lot of you have dreams

to play college ball,

pro ball.

There is nothing
more important to me

than to help you
achieve those dreams.

I promise you that.

I have dreams too.

This has long been
a dream of mine

to coach
a Division One school,

like TMU.

Whatever it is
you're feeling,

I don't blame you.

It is all pretty raw.

You may not
accept it now.

But I pray
one day you will.

I don't like the press.

I never have.

Shoulda been
done different.

I apologize it wasn't.

[applause]

Let's go get State!

Come on,
let's go get State!

Panthers!
Panthers!

Panthers!
Panthers!

[cheering and clapping]

(male reporter)
The timing
of the shocking news

of Coach Taylor's exit
from Dillon football

couldn't be worse.

(Riggins)
Pretty pathetic,
if you ask me, gentlemen.

(Bradley)
That's right, man.

How many "all for one" speeches
has he given us?

I mean, one year
and he's out?

Look, everyone
settle down.

Stop being babies, okay?

He got an offer to TMU.

If any of you
got an offer to TMU,

you'd be gone
in a heartbeat.

(Smash)
Street's right.

Look, forget about Coach.

He earned it.

It's up to us now.

(Riggins)
Who do we have here gentlemen?

Long time, boys.

Look who it is.

Yo, Smash,
can we talk a sec?

Hey look, trash talk
before the game

is a sign of weakness.

Look, I ain't here
to trash talk.

I been watching
your game tapes, Smash.

Now you the best damn back
in the state of Texas,

probably the country.

Next year, come play with me
at West Cam.

A'ight, me and you
together,

that would be
like nothing

this state has ever seen.

Every college in the country
will want you.

At West Cambria, look,
they'll set you up real good.

I got a nice place.

Got a swimming pool.

I got a diwasher.

It's nice.

They don't treat us

like second class
citizens, a'ight?

They take care of us.

I'm a Panther.

It's just
a uniform, Smash.

Look at your coach,

I don't see him
sticking around.

(Saracen)
I mean, he's basically leaving

just to wear
some stupid...

red and gold shirt

and be
a quarterback coach.

And we're just, like,

another stop along the way
for him.

I understand
how you feel,

but all my dad ever does
is think about the team.

He's always
watching game tapes

and having
endless conversations

with my mom about you
and Smash and Riggins.

He's always
analyzing

and strategizing
and planning.

It's his
whole life, Matt.

Yeah, then why
is he leaving?

I don't know.

Sir?

What are you doing up?
It's past bed check.

I was with your daughter.

I understand
if you're pissed at me.

'Cause I took the job.

That I won't be here
next season.

That I'm taking
Julie away.

All I can say
is I'm sorry.

But let me
tell you this.

And don't forget
what I say.

If you're ever...

lucky to have a family

like I do,

I promise you,
you will understand.

I'll see you
at the game.

[door opens]

Hey, hon.

Hey.

Honey, I'm sorry
I couldn't make it

to that booster dinner,
I just couldn't do it tonight.

The Buddy Garrity
of it all.

I just couldn't...
It's okay.

You all right?

Yeah.
Hey.

Chocolate?

No, thank you.

I'm just gonna...

talk to your dad
for a sec.

You all right, babe?

Mm-hmm.

I'm all right.

I saw that news came out.

Hell, I tried talking
to those kids.

The kids
don't understand.

You're a good man, babe.

Honey?

I gotta tell you something

that I've been meaning
to tell you all day

and I just haven't...
haven't been able to

and it's the worst...
worst timing

and I'm sorry
about that.

And we haven't talked
about this in a long time

and just don't know
how you're gonna take it.

I'm pregnant.

What'd you say?

I said
I'm pregnant.

You're pregnant?

Yeah.

You're pregnant, like,

you're gonna have
a baby, pregnant?

Look me in the eye
and tell me that.

I'm looking.

We're gonna
have a baby, honey.

You look a little peaked.

[laughs]

Come here.

Come here.

[laughs]
Oh.

Oh.

[laughs]
I love you.

I love you.

Babe.

[cheering]

(announcer)
Ladies and gentlemen,
please welcome

to the Texas State
Football Championship,

the Dillon Panthers.

Welcome,
ladies and gentlemen.

The wait is over.

We are finally her

Our Panthers have clawed
and scratched all season

and today's game
will not be any different

as rumors of Coach Taylor's
departure

have not been exaggerated.

Now let's see

how his leaving will affect

these young players
and his ability to lead

here in the biggest
football game of their lives.

I think the entire town
of Dillon is here.

The great state of Texas
is watching.

The two best teams
are in the house.

But like the man said,
"there can only be one."

Good seats.

Yeahell,
I've got connections.

Thank you.

All right, listen up.

Let's own this game from
the opening gun, gtlemen.

Understood?

Let's go!

[hard rock music]

(announcer)
Saracen opens right.

He throws. Oh!

And the ball comes up short.

Down he goes.

Saracen gets sacked

for an 11-yard loss.
Look for the slant!

Damn it, Matt!

(announcer)
Matt Saracen

and this Panther offense

are off to
a horrendous start.

Taylor has to be concerned.

His team has come out flat

against this ferocious
Mustang attack.

Voodoo opens right.

No, no, no!

He breaks the tackle!
He's gonna go in.

And touchdown.

Just like that
it is seven, zip.

Voodoo's back to pass.

He's got a man open!

Touchdown, West Cam.

Up by 14.

We're being punished,
I know it.

It's the curse of Voodoo.

(announcer)
And Ray "Voodoo" Tatom

is really starting
to light it up now, folks.

Don't look at him,
don't even think about him.

You understand me?

You stay inside yourself and
think about your next series.

(announcer)
This is it.

Coach Taylor's offense
is gonna have one more shot

to get some points on
the board before the half.

Saracen drops back to pass.

Oh no!

No!

(announcer)
Picked up inside the 25.

He is gonna go.

Touchdown Mustangs.

Holy smokes,

the Mustangs
have jumped out

to a 26, nothing lead

at the half.

This is truly heartbreaking,
folks,

for these Dillon players,
these loyal fans.

These folks
would follow this coach

to the ends of the Earth
and I'm afraid

that's exactly
where he's led them.

It's unfortunate,
but I'm afraid

the controversy
of Coach leaving

has just been too much
for these players.

You can see it
in their eyes,

the look of defeat,

the loss of heart.

And it would seem
that the hopes

of this once great season
may just end right here.

When Jason Street
went down

first game of the season,

everybody wrote us off.

Everybody.

And yet here we are
at the championship game.

40,000 people out there
have also written us off.

And there are a few out there
who do still believe in you,

few will never give up
on you.

You go back out on the field,

those are the people
I want in your minds.

Those are the people
I want in your hearts.

Every man at some point
in his life

is gonna lose a battle.

He's gonna fight
and he's gonna lose.

But what makes him a man...

is that in the midst
of that battle,

he does not lose himself.

This game is not over.

This battle is not over.

So let's hear it
one more time.

Together.

Clear eyes.
Full hearts.

(all)
Can't lose!

Let's go!

[chanting]

[cheers]

(announcer)
Riggins off the right side.

Big hit, Mustangs.
First down, Panthers.

Saracen's got Williams
on a short screen.

He's got some room.

One man to beat.

Touchdown.

Dillon Panthers
are on the board.

Oh my,
the Panthers have scored.

Voodoo back to pass.

He gets buried
by two Panthers.

[cheering]

Come on, sack Voodoo!

(announcer)
Voodoo drops back.

It's a quarterback keeper.
It's a draw to the inside.

There he goes.

Fumble! Loose ball!

Oh my, it's a hot potato,

greased pig.

Somebody get a hold
of that thing.

Oh and the Panthers have it.

The Panthers have it!

He picks up the loose ball.

[cheers]

Touchdown Panthers!

The Panthers are back
in this thing.

You gotta take control
of this game

and you gotta do it
right now.

Get in there.
Come on, baby.

(announcer)
Saracen back to pass.

Oh, it's up!

(announcer)
Smash Williams
and double coverage.

Saracen threads the needle.
And he's got it!

Touchdown.

Oh, touchdown Panthers.

Oh mama,
Dillon is one score

from tying this thing up.

[cheering]

Hold everything.

Hold on.
Smash Williams is down.

He's getting up
very slowly.

He went down hard on that play
and he is hurt.

Let's go, make room!
Make room!

Come on!

Where is it, is it your arm
or your shoulder?

It's mshoulder.
Get it checked.

Hey, I ain't
going nowhere.

Then go get it checked,
damn it.

You have a slightly
dislocated shoulder.

We can pop it
back into place.

But I just wouldn't advise
that you play.

No, no, this is State.
Come on, come on, do it.

Take a deep breath.

That's it.

[shoulder pops]

(announcer)
Oh, mac daddy,

somebody stole my Caddie.

Smash Williams
is playing through the pain.

And he has inspired
Panther nation.

And they are
one minute away

from one of
the greatest comebacks

in Texas football.

Oh, mercy!

All right, 57 yards, y'all.
Let's go to work.

They're keying
on the run,

so we're gonna
take 'em deep.

Blitz 27 Razor on one.
Ready?

(announcer)
Saracen back.

The blocking breaks down,
he scrambles.

Oh, Saracen is sacked,
down he goes.

Time!

[cheering]

(crowd)
Let's go Panthers!

(announcer)
Timeout Panthers
with six seconds left.

(crowd)
Let's go Panthers!

What are you thinking,
Coach?

Wanna go long and we'll
put it in the end zone?

What are you thinking?

Can't do that.

They're gonna have
everyone back.

Coach, we can.
We can run an out.

And then we can
take a shot.

Let's take our shot
right now.

We got it,
we gotta...

Coach, I got the play.
What?

Riggins runs
an 18-yard cross.

Smash mirrors him
on the other side.

I'm gonna hit Riggins

and he's gonna come
underneath the defense.

And they're gonna
collapse on him,

but he's gonna
pitch it to Smash.

That's an 18-yard
hook and lateral,

that'll never work.

(Street)
You better be sure, Matt,
if you run this play...

(Smash)
We can do this.
Come on, Coach.

Coach, it'll work.

Run it.

You run it.

All right.

Let's go!

Let's go!
Let's go!

[dramatic music]

[cheering]

(announcer)
Saracen back to pass.

He's got Riggins
cutting inside.

He fires a beautiful pass.

Tim Riggins
catches it short.

Oh, it's a pitch
to Smash Williams

on the lateral!

Go, go!

He's breaks a tackle!

Touchdown!

Panthers!
Panthers win State!

[cheers and applause]

Let's go, buddy.
That's yours too.

You deserve it, Coach.
You deserve it.

Yeah!

Come here.
Come here.

Good job.
Good job.

Wha-ha-hoo!

Well, that's
pretty intense, Garrity.

Yeah, well, it's been
a really crappy year.

Well...

Panthers won State.

I think it's time
for a change.

Apparently.

Hey, Tyra.

You want to ride home
with me?

Sure.

Why not?

[door closes]

[giggles]

Nice hat.

[laughs joyfully]

Mm.

You feel different?

I do.

I do.

So now I want to talk
to you about something.

Here, hold that.

This little one
has got me thinking

about all kinds of different
things here, all right?

Mm-hmm.

There's more important things
than football.

There are more important things
than TMU.

But there's nothing

more important to me
than you

and this family.

So here's what
we're gonna do.

I'm gonna stay in Dillon.

I'm gonna be a father
to this baby

and to this family.

I am gonna coach
high school football.

And you and I
are gonna stay together.

And that's
the way it is.

Yes?

No.
What do you mean no?

You've got to go
to Austin.

This is...
this is your dream.

That's what
I'm telling you.

That's what
I'm telling you though.

You are my dream.
This baby is my dream.

Julie is our dream.

I'm living my dream
right now.

I'm not gonna separate
what we have.

Honey, listen.
You know what?
All right, what?

Can you just listen to me
for a second?

I am listening,
that's why...

I don't wanna
be responsible

nor do I want to have
this baby be responsible

for you not living out
your dream.

And that's
what I'm saying,

you are my dream.

I have walked with you
all these years

to get to this place,

you and I together.

And you know what else
we've been doing together?

We've been
allowing the space

to create our dreams,
you know.

And...and you've got it.

You...you've got it
in Austin

and I've got it
here in Dillon.

I've finally...
I've finally got this job.

And Julie has a big life
here in Dillon.

And it's gonna be hard.

I don't know how
we're gonna do it,

but I know
that our relationship

means that we can do it.

(Julie)

(man on radio)
He took a team
that was battered,

a town
that was ailing,

and he did more than
put a Band-Aid on things.

I'll tell ya that.

He healed this team
and he healed this town.

Now, how a man
like that

can abandon his team
after one season

is another question.

Is he a great coach
turned into

an even greater
opportunist maybe?

Hell, I don't know.
Let's take some calls.

Tug from Barstow,
what do you got?

(Tug)
I shook that man's
hand once, Sammy.

I thought
he had a heart.

I guess I was wrong.

(Street)
Take a knee.

All right, y'all.
Today we're champions.

Feels good, right?

(Panthers)
Yeah!

Enjoy it while it lasts

'cause tomorrow
we're targets.

Next season,
every other team in Texas

is gonna be gunning for us
'cause we're number one.

And I don't know
about y'all,

but, uh, anything less than
another state championship

is completely unacceptable.

So here's what
we're gonna do.

Everyone think about
the off-season.

The off-season's
about development.

Development of strength.
Development of speed.

Development of character.

Football is a 12-month,
52-week,

365-day commitment,
gentlemen.

Have a great day today.

Enjoy it while it lasts.
Tomorrow we go to work.

Got it?

(Panthers)
Yes, sir.

(Street)
Clear eyes, full hearts.

(Panthers)
Can't lose!
