Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 2, Episode 1 - Last Days of Summer - full transcript

Heading into the second season of the series, an entire 8 months has passed since the previous football season ended, summer is coming to a close, and a new football season has begun. While the characters seem to have stayed the same, feelings and relationships have changed. There is a new football coach of the Panthers, and as always, new issues to be dealt with.

Why is she staring
at him like that?

You really want
me to tell you

why she's staring
at him like that?

'Cause I could. You're not gonna
want to hear what I have to say.

All right. Well...
All I'm saying is

she's my girlfriend,
all right?

So she probably shouldn't be staring off

at Swedish people
like that.

Why don't you go over
and punch him in the face?

Oh, is that what
you would do?

In some situations you need
to ask yourself, "W.W.R. D?



"What Would Riggins Do?"
In this situation?

He would walk
over to him...

Riggins would not...

Riggins would not
be in this situation,

'cause Riggins is captain of
the S.S. Ta-Tas over there.

He's probably slept
with literally,

like, half of the girls at Dillon High,

not to mention some of
their moms and sisters and...

Hey, Matt!
Hey, Matt!

See, look. That's the guy
that's gonna give me the ball.

Smile, man. It's gonna be
a good year. Come on, smile.

What's up, Smash?

All you gotta do
is hang onto my coattails.

Okay.



When did he turn
into such a tool?

This is ridiculous.

Oh, my God.

Landry, it's never
gonna happen.

Don't be negative. You
don't know what could happen.

What if I
make the team

and she starts
to see me

in a completely
new light...

I've been meaning to
ask you about that.

...sparks something inside
of her... Why are you

trying out
for the team?

'Cause all that's gonna happen
is you're gonna get hurt.

Don't be cynical.

Cynical?

Yeah.

Hi, honey!

How many times have we
talked about this, Mom?

You don't come
to the pool.

We've already
been through this.

This is the only
place where...

Excuse me!

You can't just show up
all the time, Mom!

Sweetie, I don't
show up all the time.

Can't you go to a
different pool or something?

There is no
different pool.

I miss your father. You
never talk to me anymore,

and there ain't
a room in the house

that feels like it's
big enough to contain me.

I'm getting in the water. You're
just here checking up on me.

I'm not
checking up on you.

That is ridiculous.

You're just trying
to spy on me.

Honey, I'm not spying on you at all.

I am curious
about your life.

I enjoy being in this pool,
which feels wonderful.

Am I gonna have to help
you out of the pool again?

But you know, I am curious.
I'm curious about the Swede.

I'm curious about what Matt
Saracen thinks about the Swede.

I'm curious about...
You don't tell me...

You're embarrassing me.

Oh, honey.

I think my water
just broke.

Your water can't break, Mom.
You have another three weeks.

No, either
I just peed in the pool,

or my water just broke.

Tami, Tami,
take a deep breath...

I can't. I can't do it.

No, I can't do it anymore.
I'm too tired.

Just hang in there,
okay?

Where in the hell
is your father?

Tami Taylor?
Yeah, 206.

A deep breath.
Slow deep breath.

Hey, there. Hey, baby. Hey, baby.

Hey, babe.
Hey, babe.

How's she doing?

Hi. Hi.

Oh, honey.

Oh, I'm so happy to see
you. Am I all right here?

I'm all right to stay?

I'm really happy
you're here.

Okay, Tami.

I can't.

Just a little
bit more, darling.

I'm gonna get you
this baby,

but I can't do it alone,
honey. Come on.

I think it's coming!

Yeah, that's it.

Yeah. That's right.

Go, go, go...

Welcome to the family.

This is Slammin'
Sammy Meade, folks,

and welcome back
to another glorious year

of Panther football!

It's summer. It's 120 damn
degrees on the gridiron,

and the Panthers
are entering

the fiery gates
of hell week,

and I for one
could not be happier.

Will our new coach,
Bill MacGregor,

the "Tennessee Tyrant,"

known for winning
state titles,

be able to fill the shoes
of the great Eric Taylor?

The heart of last year's
championship offense is back.

QB Matt Saracen,

highly-ranked running back
Smash Williams

and hard-hitting fullback
Tim Riggins.

That leaves
the most exciting part

of the pre-season,
new talent.

Who knows
which fresh face

might impress the new coach

and win a job
on this great

Dillon Panther team
come opening day?

You'll be
dancing it up.

Come on. Let's go,
little dancer.

Welcome home,
baby Grace.

Here's your new home.

This is where it's all gonna
happen. It's good to be home.

It's all gonna happen
right here. Jules?

Wow.

I had asked Jules
to clean this up. Jules?

Hey.

Hey. Look who's home!

Say, "Hey. " Oh, she's opening up her eyes

just so she can say,
"Hey, big sis. What's up?"

Why is her head
so pointy?

That's normal,
sweetheart.

How come you didn't clean this place up?

Because, Mom,
I didn't have time.

I really gotta go
to work. I'm sorry.

I thought you were
taking today off.

Yeah, I tried to,
Mom...

It's your baby sister's
first day home.

I have to go to work,
okay? I love you guys.

I'll be home tonight.

Say hi to the Swede.

Who's "the Swede"?

Some boy she's flirting with at the pool.

I can't believe
this mess.

What about
"the Saracen"?

She's dating
the Saracen

and she's flirting
with the Swede.

Welcome home,
sweetheart.

Just for the record, I think this
whole football thing is a terrible idea.

You've mentioned
that a few times.

Does my shoulder
look swollen to you?

Do you really think your dad
is gonna love you any more

if you make that team?

Yes, I do, actually.

I'm burning up.

Me, too.

You mind doing
my back for me?

Doing what?
My back.

Yeah. Of course.

Thanks.

Just...
You gotta be sure to

put on several coats
throughout the day.

You got a little bit too much. You ready?

Yeah.

Okay.

Actually, we got a...

We got a show on Thursday at the Bend.

Oh, the Bend.

Yeah.

Yeah, that's
a cool place.

Oh, you've been
to the Bend?

Yeah, a few times.

Well, you should
come by.

Really? Yeah. Yeah. What do you mean?

Okay.

Yeah, it starts
at 11:00.

Yeah. I guess...

I guess I'll see you
there then.

I guess I'll see you there. All right.

Okay. Don't be late.
All right.

As you were born the first
time from broken waters,

you will be born
again today

from the broken waters
of baptism

and baptism is going...

Upon the profession of your
faith, and by the Word of God,

I baptize you in the name
of the Lord Jesus Christ.

Amen.
Amen.

Yes, yes.

Ladies.
Hey, Riggins.

Hey, you guys wanna make
some memories tonight?

Yeah. Okay.
Sounds good.

I'm thinking
like 7:30.

All right.
See you there, Tim.

Whoa, where's
my flyer, Garrity?

No one would be happier to
save your soul than me, Tim.

What is that? Like a cult or something?

Actually, it's young
Christians coming together

to worship and spread
the word of Jesus.

You look good.
Like real good.

Thanks.
You're welcome.

It's probably because
yesterday I was baptized

and accepted Jesus
as my Lord and Savior.

What'd you do
recently, Tim?

I had a three-way
with the Stratton sisters.

I wouldn't go around town
bragging about the fact

that you've spent your entire
summer in a drunken stupor.

So what you're saying
is you're jealous.

Yeah, Tim.
I'm jealous.

Hey...
Just so you know,

you're still
number one.

Still the best
I've ever had.

It's true.

Don't talk to me like that.

Goodbye.

Enjoy Jesus.

Yeah, enjoy your
depraved hedonism.

Oh, I will.
So will I.

I mean Jesus,
not hedonism.

Of course.

Jerk.

I don't care
what the man said.

I'm not gonna take that "C" off your uniform.

Okay, it's really not that
big of a deal, Grandma. So...

We don't need any
of that meat stuff.

Hey.
Hey.

Oh, my Lord!

How are you doing?
How are you?

Coach Eric Taylor!
How you doing?

How you doing, bud?
How's it going?

How are you, son?
I'm good.

Miss you.

Oh, my Lord.

How you doing?
Good.

How come you haven't come over to see Gracie?

'Cause I had two...
Two a day, so...

Julie's been telling me
about her so...

How are you
and Julie doing?

Good.
Yeah?

Why? I mean,
did she say that...

Did she say anything
to you that...

No, she didn't
say anything.

She supposed
to say something?

There something
I'm supposed to know?

No, I just didn't know...

Why don't you come over
and see the kid?

I was gonna come see...

It was just, you know,
a lot of football

and she's been life-guarding so, you know...

I didn't want
to just stop by.

All right.
All right.

Hey.

Don't just stand by

and watch it happen.

You know
what I'm saying?

Yeah. I do.

All right.
Thanks, Coach.

Hey. Take care.

All right.

Hey, Carl.

Yeah.

Whoa, whoa, whoa...
This... This Friday?

Well, I got
football practice

and I may go
work out after that.

I'm serious.

Well, call me if you wanna
see a movie or something.

Okay?
Okay.

Bye.
Bye.

Tyra?
What happened?

What was that?

I think that was him.

Was who?

The guy who attacked me.

Hey.

Come here.

I'm going to bed.
Where've you been?

I've been at Lois'.

Come here. Come here.
I want to talk to you.

I'm really tired. I just
want to go to bed, okay?

I have work
in the morning.

How you doing?

Good.

How are you
and Matt doing?

Fine.

Good.

Who's this
Swedish guy?

And what does this
have to do with you?

What does this
have to do with me?

I'm your father, that's
what it has to do with me.

So you decide
to come back

after eight months
in Austin

and have these deep,
long conversations?

You are
so hypocritical.

I'm done. I'm tired.
I'm going to bed.

Come here.
Come here.

Come here!

Set!
Blue 80! Hut!

Outside, full force!

You gotta cut it!

Come on, Riggins!
Come on!

What's Buddy
doing here?

Watching practice.

I run closed practices.
Send him home.

Buddy.

Hey, Mac.
Hey, man.

Hey, Mac. How are you? I'm good.

Hot enough for you?

I have sweat running off my sweat, Buddy.

This is awkward, but

I'm gonna have to
ask you to leave.

Come on!
This is not Pop Warner!

Keep your head up like
a man and stick to him!

Mac, if he wants
me to leave

then he needs to come over
here and tell me himself.

Yeah. Yeah. Shut him down. Do it again.

Come on, Riggins!
Black nine! Black nine!

Who's he think... Who's he think
pays his bloody damn salary?

That's what I wanna know.
Would you tell him later?

Bring me some water.
Come on. Let's go.

You know what?
You are disgusting!

You are miserable!
Miserable! Miserable!

That's it!
Leave me alone!

A miserable God-dang football player!

You have no potential!

You're just walking through
this thing! Leave it.

What did you say to me?
Guys like you, okay?

With no heart...
Oh, I got no heart?

Here. This helmet?
Riggins.

It's for your new fullback. Good luck.

Opening day, MacGregor. Are you walking away?

Riggins!

You do not walk away from me, Number 33!

The point is,

is that she told me
to lotion her up.

Okay, look, maybe she just
didn't want to get sunburned.

All I'm saying
is I was literally

inches away from,
you know...

There he is again.
... copping a feel.

It's a good picture
of him, though.

It's a great picture
of the Smash.

He really looks like a
captain, you know? I mean...

Hey.

I'm gonna...

I'm gonna go get
some Cheetos.

Hey. What's going on?
What you doing?

Nothing.
Just hanging.

All right.

Hey...

There's this party
at Lake Orion Thursday.

I was kind of hoping
maybe you'd come.

Please.

Well, I was just
gonna stay at home

and, you know, kind of take
it easy, maybe read a book.

It's just
the whole team

is gonna be there and everyone
that's got a girlfriend,

their girlfriend's
gonna be there.

And since you're
kind of my girlfriend,

I was kind of hoping
you'd be there.

Look. It's just...
You mean a lot to me

and I don't want
to just lose you.

Yeah, it...
It sounds great.

I'II... I'll try
to make it.

Yeah?
Yeah.

Thursday.
Okay.

Oh, you're
gonna love this.

That's it. It's tofu.
No, no. Come on. One more.

It's tofu...
I'm...

...and porcini mushrooms. Got some
onions in there. Some brown rice.

I'm good. I'm good.
Got some beans there.

We all set?
There you go.

Oh! Looks delish!

Enjoy.

Aren't we forgetting
something?

No. No.

Of course.

Thank you, Lord, for this food
that we are about to receive

and for your wisdom, Lord.

I pray that you will guide me
and everyone at this table

to help respect you
and make good choices.

For example, to not take
advantage of the vulnerability

of a recently-separated,
but not-yet-divorced woman.

And in turn, to give others at the table

the strength to remember
that a mother of three

should not be wearing
skinny jeans.

Amen.

Bon app?tit.

Enjoy.
Looks good.

Hey.
Hey.

Please sleep, little girl.

She down good?

Look at you, you
made some cookies?

Thank you.

You're nice to me.

Carl called.

Mmm-hmm?

They need me
to come back Friday.

Which Friday?
This Friday?

You're supposed
to have two weeks.

"Bottom line.
We need you back.

"It's not my decision,
but Bonnie

"passed the buck up
onto the top, and... "

You know? We've been
through this before.

We just have to
deal with it.

You know the drill,
what happens.

Yeah.

You know,
I don't have a choice.

The fact of the matter
is, I don't have a choice.

I mean, it's...

You know, it's what I do.
I can't go and I can't...

I can't do
this thing half-ass.

I do it half-ass,
it doesn't help anyone.

And I can't.
I mean, I can't.

You know?
Mmm-hmm.

I really need
you to talk.

That's it?

All right.

I'll be back
in a little while. Okay?

All right.

The dog thinks
he is the boss.

He is not the boss.
You are the boss.

You must dominate him.
You must talk...

I'll be jiggered.

Look what
the cat drug in.

Yeah, Eric.

That Tennessee hillbilly
stonewalled me.

He won't even talk to me.
Locked me out of practice.

Told Mac McGill
that I was

an "annoying nuisance. "

Can you imagine that?

That is hard to...

There's nothing I love more
than the Dillon Panthers.

I always have and you know
that I'm trying to help.

That's all
I'm trying to do.

That's all
I've ever cared about.

How long have you
been sleeping here?

Oh, I don't
sleep here much.

I work late sometimes. It's
comfortable. You know, the neon lights...

Hey, Pam.

Hey.

Congratulations
on the baby.

Oh, thank you.

Could I speak to you
for a minute?

Out here.
Yep.

I'll be right back.

What were you doing at the
soccer practice tonight?

I don't know what
you're talking about, Pam.

I wasn't...
I saw you there, Buddy.

Pam,
I do not understand

why a smart, beautiful,
intelligent woman

could fall

for a little tree-hugger
who makes seven dollars...

Okay. Okay,
you know what?

...an hour at
a health food store!

Okay. He owns that store,
first of all,

and were you at my meditation
group the other night, too?

You know,
I have a right

to protect my children if I think...

Oh, please.

...their mother is becoming a part
of some kind of cult or something.

Hey! You know what?
Hey! Do whatever...

Don't come to soccer practice again, Buddy.

Do whatever you want,

but he is not gonna turn
my children into communists.

All his hippie ideas!

Is that... He here?
That's him...

You here?
You brought him here?

He's in my... You get out of my truck!

Buddy! Leave him alone! Watch this!

Open the damn door!
Don't even... Buddy!

Get out! Open up that
door! Hey, Buddy. You...

Come out of there!

You've got to calm down!

No, I'm not
gonna calm down!

Unlock that door, you
tree-hugging son of a bitch.

Stop! Stop!

Hey! Watch it.

Get back!

You come here!
No...

Come... Come on! She doesn't
want you, you son of a bitch.

Oh, my God!

Get in the car.
Just get in the car.

Don't make me...
Stop. Stop. Stop.

It's all right.
It's okay.

Come on, Riggins.

What are you having
for dinner?

McGILL: Think I'm gonna have a salad.

Have some chicken.

I gotta get in shape.

I'm gonna learn
how to surf.

Might be good.
If not now, when?

Come on.

Pick it up, Riggins!
Come on!

I think he's had
enough, Coach.

He owes me five more.

Come on, Riggins!
Five more, son.

All right, Riggins.
You're done.

First off,
I would like to say

that this is your team, and
100?/? I am in support of you

and the decisions you make
in the leadership of the team.

Go on.

I know Tim Riggins
really well.

All right?
Both on and off the field.

He's one of
my closest friends.

And leaning
on him like that

isn't gonna get you
any results, sir.

Well, you got a decision to make, Jason.

You can come to the games Friday nights

and be some kind of town
symbol, some kind of mascot,

or you can come
to Friday night games

and you can be
a football coach.

But you can't be both.

They can't be
your friends.

Hey, hon.
Hey.

I want you home
by 11:00, all right?

Mom said I could be
home by 11:30.

I don't care
what your mother said.

I want you home
by 11:00.

Your absentee father
says 11:00,

but, of course, if you'd
like to make it 10:30,

we could make that happen, too. Whatever.

And if Lois should even look at any alcohol

this evening, I want you to give me a call.

You understand me?
See you at 11:30.

Where are your shoes?

I'm not wearing shoes, Dad.

You checked this out?

You all gotta come check this out right here.

Hey, what's up, fool?
Enjoying yourself?

What's up, man?
What's up?

Tyra? Are you okay?
What took you so long?

I came just as soon as you called. Come on.

Where'd you hear
the noises from?

Out here.

Be careful.
I'm gonna be careful.

You stay here, okay? I'm
gonna check the perimeter.

It's in that tree. Big tree.
Make sure everything's okay.

I mean, I'm sure
it's nothing.

Be careful
All right.

Your knight in shining armor has arrived.

Oh, my! Tyra,
it's a skunk!

Tyra, that's a skunk.

It's a skunk.
Let me in in the front!

A skunk?

I just don't wanna
get sprayed.

No, it's fine. There's no one
back here except for the...

I have to go home. My mom's
gonna beat the hell out of me.

We should've
gone to the party.

It's okay. You can go.

What? No. It's okay.
I'll find a ride. I swear.

Okay. Yeah, right. I'm not
gonna just leave you here.

I swear.
It's fine, Lois.

Okay. Okay.

Call me later, okay?
Okay.

I will never
leave your side

Many try and fail

Oh, two nerds, two nerds

Two nerds to take away

And I will love you

Once or twice through

I'll be there until the end

Matt, I'm in Tyra Collette's
bathroom right now.

Okay, why are you calling
me from the bathroom?

All right, you've gotta
try to keep up with me here.

Because I've got,
like, 45 seconds,

and I really need to get
your advice on something.

I'm on
Tyra Collette's couch.

We're watching Fried Green
Tomatoes. Everything's going great,

and I need to figure out
how to get my arm around her.

How to get it...
No. No.

Look. Does she want you
to touch her? I'm not...

I'm not calling for relationship
advice right now, Matt.

I'm calling you to find just some technique.

Look, just sit down closer to
her and try and... I don't know.

Rub your arm against hers,
and if she doesn't hit you

or it doesn't seem weird, then
try and put your arm around her.

All right, yeah. Once
I get my arm around her,

I think things will kind of fall into place,

because this has been
like a long time coming.

I mean, that's...
Anyways. I gotta go.

How you doing at the party?

It kind of sucks.
Julie never showed up.

That sounds great, man.
That sounds great.

I'll call you later and
let you know how this goes.

All right?
Thanks. Bye.

I'm sorry.
I'm sorry. That's...

Are you hungry?

Are you hungry?

Yeah. I'm hungry.

Let's go get some food.

Well, hey,
come again.

It's good to see you.
Yeah, you, too.

What's up?
Hey.

You came.
Yeah.

Did you like it? Yeah.
It was totally amazing.

I was pretty nervous.
I don't know.

No, you guys looked awesome up there.

Well, come...
Just come again.

Just don't...
Don't say anything else.

No. I mean, it was emotional
and heartbreaking and...

I'm adamant. You gotta come again, 'cause...

Hey, babe.
Hey.

I gotta go.
Oh.

Julie, this is Meg.

Meg, Julie.

Julie. Oh,

your friend from the pool.
Your high-school bud.

It's nice to meet you.

Anton loves you.

Well, we have this party
and if I don't show up,

my sister's gonna
kill me so...

It was nice
to meet you.

Yeah, you, too.

I'm really happy
you came.

You've gotta be
kidding me.

Can we just go?

Can we go?

Yeah. Yeah...
Look, I know...

No, no. We can go. We can
go as soon as you tell me

what the hell you're doing at a
place like this at 12:30 at night,

and then
we can go, yeah!

I know I'm grounded
and everything.

Can you just... Just really
not yell at me right now?

Can I tell you
something?

I'm leaving early.

I have to leave tomorrow night. All right?

I'm not gonna be back
maybe for a few weeks,

so you being
my daughter,

I'd sort of like to know
what the hell is going on!

I came here
just chasing some boy

and got completely
humiliated, because guess what?

He has a girlfriend.

I misread
every stupid signal.

What's going on
with you and Matt?

What's wrong
with that?

There's nothing wrong.

That's the point, okay?

Matt's perfect, right?
And we're the "it" couple.

But I just... I see
him turning into you

and me turning
into my mom,

and that just terrifies the
crap out of me and I'm 16.

There just...

There has to be
more than this.

And I just...

I feel so guilty
for feeling like this.

Listen to me.

If you leave Matt,

no one is going
to love you any less.

You realize that,
don't you?

You got that?

The other guy sounds to me like, you know,

he's some other guy.

He's just
some other guy.

Hell with him.

Hey. You're all right.
It's all good.

I really miss
having you around.

Okay, so we've
got Kit Kats, nachos...

Okay.

Don't forget
the Pringles. Yeah.

Kit Kats, nachos, Pringles.
Is that it?

Yes, and you are
on your own

because I forgot that the Collette
account's a little overdue so...

Okay. Pringles, nachos...

Oh, and don't forget
the Ding Dongs.

Don't forget... Are you gonna eat all that?

I'm not gonna
help you out.

'Cause I'm trying
to cut down.
