Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 2, Episode 2 - Bad Ideas - full transcript
Tammy grows increasingly stressed by raising an infant alone, and becomes closer to a science teacher who took over her guidance counselor duties. Eric impresses his bosses with the way he handles a suspension meeting for an errant college player. Landry professes his love for Tyra, which is not really a surprise to her; their shared secret brings them closer together. Julie and Matt drift further apart as she tries to avoid feeling trapped. Matt copes with a new live-in assisted care giver as his grandmother's grip on reality slips further away.
Where in the hell
is your father?
In and out. Come on,
Tami. Take a deep breath.
Hey. Hey.
You look good.
Thanks.
You're welcome. It's probably
because yesterday I was baptized
and accepted Jesus
as my Lord and Savior.
Enjoy Jesus.
Yeah, enjoy your
depraved hedonism.
Say hi to
the Swede.
Who's
"the Swede"?
Some boy she's flirting with at the pool.
If you leave Matt,
no one is going
to love you any less.
You realize that?
I really miss
having you around.
No.
Maybe it's colic.
Oh, honey.
It's not colic.
Well, Julie,
she was colic.
I love you so much,
sweetheart,
but you don't know
what you're talking about.
Julie was
not colicky.
The only time Julie ever cried was the time
you slammed her hand in the
car door going to the store.
First of all,
that was 15 years ago,
and you're the one that
let her get her hand stuck.
All right, I'm sorry. You know
what? Were you asleep when I called?
No. Yes, you were. Go back to sleep.
Well, no. There's no sense in me
going back to sleep now that I'm awake.
Go ahead and
talk to me.
All right, darling.
How's work going?
It's good.
Well, that doesn't
sound very convincing.
It is good. It's good. It's like
being, you know, it's like...
It's, like, this bed's
uncomfortable, for one thing.
And the other
thing is that,
you know, it's like being
the new kid in school.
There's this inner circle that, you know,
you're never part
of the inner circle.
All you have to do
is be indispensable.
And you and I both know that's
just what you do so perfectly.
Well, that's a very wifely
thing for you to say.
Hmm. Oh, now
you got her crying.
I miss you
and I love you.
I love you, baby. I love you. Bye-bye. Bye.
Landry,
what time is it?
Why are you
calling me?
Look, I can't
find my watch.
What?
I can't...
I can't find
my watch.
The last time
I had it was...
You know what? Even if
somebody found that watch,
they're not gonna know it's yours. Okay?
Yeah. Well,
that's fine, Tyra.
Except for the fact
that it's engraved,
"To Landry.
From Grandpa. "
Okay, you need to take a deep
breath here and calm down.
It's probably
with the body.
That's all I'm saying. "Take a deep... "
I can take all the breaths that I want,
but that's not gonna matter
whenever I'm in the electric chair.
Okay. Landry. This is not normal,
what we're doing right here.
Walking around at
3:00 in the morning.
Well, I'm sorry if I'm embarrassing
you right now. Is that all...
No, you're not embarrassing me
but we're not supposed to return
to the scene
of the crime.
Oh, really? I didn't realize you
were so knowledgeable about this.
Maybe you should just write
a "How To" book on how to...
Oh, that's
helping right now.
Those nasty comments.
That's great.
I'm trying to
hold it together.
Think anyone's
looking for him?
You know,
friends or family
or someone?
This...
Let's go home.
Okay?
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Watch your footwork.
Eyes up.
Hut!
Hey, Eric.
Yeah?
Coach wants
to see you.
All right.
Keep it up.
Hut!
Coach, I know it's...
I do wind sprints,
balance.
Antwone.
Coaches.
Hey, Eric.
Antwone.
Antwone here is in a little trouble
with the infractions committee
for accepting gifts
from a booster.
Isn't that right,
Antwone?
Taylor, I need for you to
escort this knuckle-head
to his hearing tomorrow because I don't trust
that he can make it
there on his own.
We fully expect him to be
suspended for the season
because he was stupid enough to get caught
at the Justin Timberlake
show with an agent.
Justin Timberlake.
Hope he was
worth it, Antwone.
Hey, hey, hey.
Step off.
That little white boy's got soul.
I don't want to hear
another word out of you.
What about...
How about practice?
Don't worry about it.
We'll cover it.
All right. Since
we got that covered,
we taking my car.
Hello. Hey, Glenn. Come on in.
Hi. Gosh. Thank you so
much... You're welcome.
...for seeing me
at home like this.
Let's... Why don't we... Let's
just go on in the kitchen there.
Okay?
Okay.
You can probably find
a spot on the table.
Really, again, I mean, thank
you for seeing me at your home.
I know that's probably
an inconvenience to you.
It's fine.
It's just, I mean,
these kids.
There's so many
of them, you know.
They're coming at
me like ninjas.
I know.
They do that.
Go down for a little bit
while we talk.
Wow. I hope you didn't go to
all this trouble just for me.
I just had
a baby, Glenn.
Um, I was kidding.
I'm sorry.
What's the problem?
Let's just go over it, okay?
Okay, um,
Barry Harby.
Barry Harby. Junior. Linebacker. Right.
What? He's trying to tell you he can't read?
Yeah, he said that
he can't read.
Well, the football players are
going to mess with you, you know?
He's just trying to get into an
easier English class, all right?
You can't let these kids ride
roughshod all over you like that.
Okay.
Who's next?
Right, uh... Tiffany Barnes. Tiffany Barnes.
She wants you to write her
a recommendation, right?
Yes, she does.
To Vassar.
To Vassar.
She can't get into
Vassar any more than
I can get into my old jeans, all right?
You see what I'm saying? Okay. Absolutely.
How's she doing with the
divorce of her parents?
I... You know,
I have no idea.
Look, I'm a
science teacher.
I teach science.
And I'm a little out
of my element, you know?
Mmm-hmm.
And I don't know
if there's any
just general words of wisdom
that you can give me
or, like, if you
have a book
or anything
that I can read
or you could refer me to. It's simple.
I just have no experience.
You need to just
connect with these children.
That's all there is to it.
Hey, hon.
You know what? Listen.
I was thinking tonight,
if you wanted to,
you and Matt
could rent a movie
and order in some food
and you could
bring it over here.
Have a little date night here. You know?
What is it
with you?
"Matt this.
Matt that. "
You know Matt has his own life, right?
Who's next?
Matt, would you please
hurry up. We're already late.
Yeah. I know... Can we please just go? Put...
I don't know if we're supposed
to pick Julie up or not.
All right?
I left her, like,
four messages and she never called me back,
so I don't know.
Look. Maybe if we
just go by her house
and see if she's there.
And if she's there,
then we were
supposed to get her,
and if she's not,
then we'll just...
Maybe we could do that.
Or maybe
your testicles are just in
her panty drawer, Matt.
Have you ever
thought about that?
Even I know that she's not... What is that?
Who's at the door?
Yep?
Package for Lorraine.
How you doing?
Need me to
sign for it?
No, it's
all right. Thanks.
Grandma, what'd
you order?
Is that my tiara?
Tiara?
Is it?
Look how pretty.
That'll be beautiful
for whenever you
just zip over
to the Rite Aid.
Twenty-four hundred?
Grandma, no, no, no.
It's $2,400.
We gotta
send this back.
Look how pretty.
Beautiful.
It's really pretty, but
it's really gotta go back.
Oh, boys.
Look at her.
You can't put
a price tag
on happiness.
Hmm.
And again, we're glad to
have Coach MacGregor here.
Came out of those
hills of Tennessee
to the great
state of Texas.
Thank you, Buddy. Oh, yeah.
Season-opener pep rally
is coming up.
And I'm proud to say
that Garrity Motors
will sponsor and
host as we have
so many years
in the past.
Buddy.
We've all
been talking.
We thought it'd be nice if
we had a new venue this year.
Well, what do you mean,
"We've all been talking"?
Well, Lester's
got his ranch.
There's a lot of
space indoors and out.
We can barbecue.
Make it a family affair.
You know,
make it, uh,
I don't know,
more wholesome.
Garrity Motors
is wholesome.
Buddy, you've got a lot going on right now.
What does that
mean, Lester?
Buddy, it's just a party. It'll be fun.
And I sure hope
you can make it.
Look, I need that in-home
care that you promised me.
All right? I call y'all people once...
Door? Are you
gonna get the door?
I call y'all people
once a week
checking in on her.
And I'm taking care of
my grandmother who's...
You want me to talk to them for one second?
I'm on hold. You can't really
talk... You're obviously
getting nothing accomplished
because it's been 30 minutes.
Oh, no.
Hey.
Julie.
Hey.
Um.
Oh, no.
I didn't know
if you needed a ride.
So I called you
a couple times.
Oh, I'm sorry.
My phone was dead.
All right.
I got a ride with Lois.
Okay. Well, do you wanna maybe...
What are you... You wanna do something?
Yeah. Um, give me a call later, okay?
Okay. I'll see you later.
All right.
Hello?
Christ, shield me
today from wounding.
Christ with me.
Christ before me.
Christ behind me.
Christ in me.
Christ on my right.
Christ on my left.
Christ above me.
Hey.
How's it going?
Christ beneath me.
Christ when I lay
down and in our hearts.
Christ in our families.
Christ in
the hearts of everyone
who thinks of us
and Christ in the mouths of
everyone who speaks of us.
Blue 20!
Blue 20! Hut!
McGILL: There he is.
Got him!
Yeah. There he is.
All right.
Good catch, Smash.
See that boy?
Thing of beauty!
Way to go, Smash!
Good catch.
Saracen. Saracen.
It was a good toss.
All right?
Good read, Saracen.
Coach.
Am I a thing
of beauty, too?
Let me ask you something, Riggins.
Can you count to 50?
Yeah.
Good.
I got 50 for you
right over there.
Hit it!
Let's go!
Fifty good ones!
Let's go!
Come on! Come on!
Let's get it on!
Let's go!
Blue 20!
Blue 20! Hut!
Come on, Landry.
Let's run this thing again.
Blue 20!
Blue 20! Hut!
Come on, Landry.
Get your feet
on the ground, son!
Get your feet
on the ground!
Come on. Come at me. Come on!
Come on! Hey! Try to do that stuff out there!
Yeah!
Come on, son! Dig a little deeper, all right?
More fight. Come here,
come here, come here.
You're on offense. All
right. Shake it off, Matt.
All right,
water break!
Take a break, boys!
Hey, Dad.
You're looking good
out there.
You sure you're
talking about...
I was just getting
my ass handed to me
by Riggins, like,
five times in a row.
I can't really feel my
right ear for some reason.
Give it time.
You're on the team.
That's all
that matters.
I'm real proud of you.
I mean it.
All right.
Pretty good.
I know, right?
Yeah, definite progress. So
what do you think it means?
Well, you're still
recovering from your injury.
You've been great about
your physical therapy,
and that's some of the reason
your muscles are coming back.
This improvement in your
hands? It's wonderful.
But it's not necessarily
indicative of anything else,
if that's what
you're thinking.
Yeah, but
who's to say that...
Jason, I am.
You're not gonna
walk again, Jason.
At least not without
a major medical breakthrough
and it's something we
are still years away from.
Hey, dude.
What's up?
Same old crap.
Just told me
I'll never walk again.
Again.
Depressing as
usual, right?
I just thought...
I know this guy.
He does some experimental stem
cell surgeries down in Mexico.
Heard they're doing
really good with it.
This is my house!
I need you
out of here!
This is my
exercise time!
Did you hear me?
I said, "Get out!"
Help!
Get out of my house! Hey.
Get out!
Grandma, what's...
What's going on? Oh, Matt! Thank goodness.
She tried to
turn off my TV!
Who tried to turn off... She did!
Okay. See, Grandma,
there's nobody here...
See? No. There!
Okay.
Who are you?
Carlotta.
Carlotta Alonso.
Don't let her
throw away my tapioca.
The in-home nurse
you demanded.
No! Whoa, hey, that's her tapioca.
This is junk.
That's what I
have every night.
You need to get
rid of this TV.
Oh, no, no,
no. See...
Oh, get out of my house! Hey, it's all right.
I can't!
It's my job!
It's okay to keep
the TV on 'cause it
seems to be the only thing
that calms her down, so...
It's destroying
her mind.
I'm sorry, but a lot of things
are going to have to change.
Like?
Where am
I supposed to sleep?
What do you
mean, "sleep"?
I mean sleep. I'm going to live here.
Oh, um...
My Lord.
What you doing, Coach?
Why don't you tell me what you're
going to say to the committee?
I got it down, no worries.
Good. Let's hear it.
No, Coach. I want it to sound
spontaneous. You know?
From the heart.
That's great. So let's hear
it then. Be spontaneous.
All right.
I'm sorry that I took those
tickets to Justin Timberlake.
Especially when they ain't
have no Cristal in the box.
Can you
believe that?
I don't drink no cheap stuff, Coach.
That's real funny.
You know what's not
in that little speech
of yours, though?
What's that,
Coach?
How about you put a
little contrition into it?
Just a little bit.
You know
what that is?
I got an idea. But that's
probably because I'm not sorry.
You're not sorry?
No, sir,
I am not.
You hear that, America?
I'm not sorry!
How about that? Let me
ask you something, hotshot.
You pay for this car all yourself? Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
All by myself.
You pay for all that nice jewelry
you got on there all by yourself?
That's nice, yeah. Yes,
sir. I got a paper route.
Yeah? Oh, come on, Coach!
Everybody knows
we take stuff.
Everybody knows you take
stuff. Look, I play football.
Hell, they should
be paying me anyway.
I bring a million dollars
to this school every year.
This stuff started for
me when I was in Pee Wee.
I got ice cream.
Quiet.
Hey, babe.
How you doing?
We're fine.
Everything's fine.
Me and Gracie are out for a
walk. We're walking to school.
And, in fact, Gracie has
a couple words for you.
She'd like to talk to you. Hold one second.
Hold on.
No. Don't do that.
Now's not the time.
Don't do that.
Talk to your daddy. Tami.
She's crying...
Hello?
It's Dad.
It's Daddy.
I love you, Gracie.
I love you.
Dad loves you.
Hey. I love you.
Now let me talk to Mom. Tami? Hello?
Hey. Mom! Hey, listen.
Honey, I gotta go. I'll call you back. Bye.
I... What?
I just wanna ask
you one thing.
What you doing
in the car with me
when you have
a new baby?
Hello?
You don't just open the door, Buddy.
This is not your
house anymore.
Hey, what are all my trophies
doing out in the front?
I don't want
them anymore.
You can get them out of here by Sunday
or they're going in the garbage. All right.
I will.
And you're early.
Yeah, five minutes.
Yeah, five minutes.
Can I come in my house, please? No.
You know what?
Frankly, Buddy,
I don't think
I feel safe.
I'm sorry, Pam, about
the other night. You know,
I admit I lost it.
I just...
You know, a man can
only be pushed so far.
Oh, don't you even dare talk
to me about being pushed, Buddy.
I am the victim here.
You know, I think it's
about time for us to lose
the "innocent
victim" stuff.
Oh, you know what? You are
too much. Especially since
you got somebody in
my... I can't believe you.
Huh?
Mom.
Come on, Dad. Let's get this over with.
Okay.
Hey, Bud.
Have fun, okay, sweetie? Hey, Tabs.
Let's go.
Hey, what's that?
A soccer ball?
Yeah.
All right.
Let's do it.
Gonna have
some fun.
She's always, like,
the middle man,
of the band.
Okay.
You gotta get something
really important.
I always have problems
with lights like that.
I always want
a smoke machine.
So, yeah, we need
a smoke machine...
Hey, Jules.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Hey!
Julie!
Hey, what're
you doing?
Hey.
Just picking up
my paycheck.
Okay.
So where did you
go the other night?
Oh, um, I actually had
another party to go to.
Oh, cool. Yeah, no.
I mean, someone had
said they saw you get
picked up by your
dad or something.
Oh, oh, that was
my older friend.
Yeah?
Yeah.
But I got a lot of studying to do, so I'II...
I'll see you around.
Oh.
That's right. School's started, huh?
Yeah.
Okay.
So...
So I guess
this is goodbye?
Guess it is.
Wow.
All right. Well, hey, don't
go growing up too fast 'cause
you're gonna be
a heartbreaker.
Guys are just gonna be busting
down your door, so watch out.
So I'll see
you around, kid.
TAMl: Hey, Glenn.
Hey.
Hope you don't mind. We just dropped by.
I'm gonna plop down on your
couch right now. I'm exhausted.
I just walked all
the way from my house.
You walked all the way from your house?
Yeah, we did. It is boiling hot out.
Yeah, it's
105 degrees out there.
That's completely
insane.
Well, it's not insane
when you have a baby
who won't stay quiet unless
you're moving her all the time,
and I figured I'd kill
two birds with one stone.
Right.
What's your problem
with that, Glenn?
Uh, it's no problem.
It's just that you're
profusely sweating,
you got a newborn baby,
you're walking in
105 degree temperature.
I mean, you're perspiring.
It's your glands.
I'm sorry. I don't need you
talking about my perspiration.
I don't need you talking about my glands.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
I came here to talk about the job which,
it seems to me, you might
need a little bit of help with.
I might need a little bit of help with it.
I'm really not qualified to be doing it,
to be completely
honest with you.
But I think what's more
important is your behavior.
Your bringing
this baby here.
I'm concerned about
the baby's health.
It could get
sick, you know?
Excuse me, Glenn. Let me
tell you something right now.
Right here and
right now. Okay?
This isn't my first
barbeque, Glenn. All right?
So I don't appreciate you
going on and on and on
about what a bad
mother I am.
I'm not saying...
Okay?
I'm not trying to say
that you're a bad mother.
Oh, really? Really? No,
I'm not trying to say...
Well, that's what it
sounds like to me.
I'm not trying to say
that you're a bad mother.
Well... What I am saying, although...
Now look
what you did.
I'm a little afraid to
say it to you right now
because frankly you frighten
me a little bit, Tami. Okay?
You've got a lot
of nerve.
I'm just trying to help.
I'm not your doctor.
Well, no.
I was trying to help.
I was trying to help
by coming over here,
which I think you need
a little bit of help.
So don't you go and
you judge me on how...
What kind of mother
I'm being.
How dare you!
That's not what I was trying to do, Tami.
Well, how dare you!
'Cause that's what it sounded like to me.
I'm sorry.
Uh, look.
I'm not trying to upset you or anything.
Well, too late. This was just a bad idea.
You know what?
You just do your own...
Go on.
Do your job.
Want something
to drink?
You want some
water or something?
Why don't... You know what? I'm
gonna get you a glass of water, okay?
Hey. Uh...
Julie, it's Matt.
Um...
You told me
to call later
and it's later,
so I'm calling.
Anyways, just
call me back
and then I'll talk
to you later.
Bye.
TAMl:
Sorry, Gracie.
Just bunk.
Hey, Mrs. Taylor.
Oh, hey,
Jason Street.
How you doing? I'm good. How are you?
Great.
Awesome.
Never better. I was
wondering if I could have...
You meet Gracie?
Oh, hi, Gracie.
I was wondering if I could
have a second of your time?
Sure. I don't want to interrupt.
We can keep walking. Okay. No problem.
We're just
walking home.
I, uh...
I've been having
this dream lately.
Mmm-hmm.
A lot.
And you're in it.
Oh, Lord.
So in the dream, uh,
you, uh, you tell me
to get up and walk.
And I do.
I walk.
Uh-huh.
'Cause you told me to.
You make me walk.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah. And one day
after having
the dream,
I, uh...
I found out I could do this again.
I could make a fist
with my right hand,
which I could
not do before
and I still can't do
with my left, but...
That's great.
That's great,
Jason.
Well, I just wanted to
talk to you 'cause I feel
like it really
means something.
I think it means
I'm gonna walk again.
Soon.
How about that?
So, uh,
anyway, I guess I just
wanted to say, "Thank you. "
Uh...
And you have a great day.
Bye, Gracie. All right?
You're welcome.
Yeah.
I'm so glad I got to see you today, Jason.
Me, too. You have a great day, Mrs. Taylor.
Thank you.
Hurry up. Let's go.
Let me ask you something, Coach.
You got that baby
on a schedule?
Oh, wait.
You wouldn't know that, would you?
No, but seriously,
how's your wife feel about
being alone with the baby?
That was
a question, Coach.
Hurry up.
Let's go.
Look at that scowl.
I gotta get a picture
of this, Coach. Hold on.
I'm gonna send
this to your baby.
You think this is a damn joke, don't you?
It's all a big
damn joke to you.
All the talent you got,
what do you use it for? Huh?
Getting free stuff and
letting your team down.
You know what
my opinion is?
You don't deserve
to play the game.
What do you
think about that?
Who do you think
you're talking to?
You let your team down.
You let yourself down.
Then again, you don't care, do you?
Huh? You don't care if
you finish out the season.
'Cause I'm sure
big old Antwone,
he's got it
all figured out.
He's got a backup plan, doesn't he?
Who am
I talking to?
Who am I?
Who the hell are you?
All right. We're going double time, now!
Oh, hey, Landry.
Um...
I just wanted to say congratulations
on making the football team.
I'm actually... I'm sort of your rally girl.
You're sort of my rally... Yeah.
So you're my rally girl? Mmm-hmm.
Wow. Landry,
your own personal rally
girl. I guess you've arrived.
Anyway, we can work
out the details later.
So. I just wanted to say hi.
Do you think that all human
beings are capable of evil?
I'm gonna borrow him
for a second.
I mean, obviously
some are.
Yeah, I don't...
I was asking her a question.
You don't have to rip me away.
You know what?
I'm not a little kid.
You don't have to hold my arm. Bye.
Bye. Thank you. Bye.
What the hell
are you doing?
What am I doing? Yeah.
Are you insane?
You have got
to hold it together.
I've got...
Yes!
Do you have no empathy about anything, Tyra?
Do you just
have ice water running through your veins?
Okay. That's not fair. You
don't need to tell me that.
I mean, a human being
is dead because of me.
And what
are you doing?
You're out trying to have a great time and...
Hey, you know what?
He was a rapist! Okay?
You're right, but
so that makes it okay?
Stop acting like he was some kind of saint.
I'm not acting like he was
a saint. Act like a man then!
You want me
to act like a man?
Yeah.
See, that's real
easy for you to say
because you're not the one
who killed him, are you?
You don't have to
think about that.
You don't have to close
your eyes and hear the sound
of his skull cracking every
time you go to sleep, do you?
Don't tell me
to act like a man.
'Cause, you know what,
the thing about this is,
I would do that again
for you in a second
because he hurt you
and because I'm in love with you, all right?
Don't look at me
like that.
All right? Don't.
Because you know.
You've known.
You've known forever.
It's not some
big secret, all right?
All right, let's just
not pretend like this was
some great thing that
we did and let's just...
Don't tell me to become a man, all right?
Because if that's your definition of a man,
that's extremely sad.
All right?
Look, gentlemen. I'm
not here to make excuses.
I mean, everybody
makes mistakes.
I made one.
A big one.
And I'm sorry
for that.
I should know better. My mom
raised me better than that.
And I swear to you,
on the Bible,
I promise you it
won't happen again.
I wasn't raised
that way.
I know better.
But it was a mistake.
All I want to
do is play ball.
That's been
my dream.
To make it
to the NFL.
Gentlemen, whether he plays at TMU or not,
Antwone Beltraine is gonna go to the NFL.
That's my opinion.
Now, he's either
gonna go as
a selfish,
undisciplined punk,
or you can allow
us to shape him
into what I believe
he could be.
All right. This problem is systemic.
It's a culture
in football.
It's been allowed to have a life of its own.
We all know that.
It's no great secret.
I mean, he's not
the only prima donna.
Fact of the matter is,
we're asking for one year
to drill some
sense into the kid.
Take away his iPhone,
take away his cars,
ridiculous jewelry
and all the other crap,
and we make his life miserable for a season.
He's gonna be representing us and, uh,
I propose our responsibility
lies in doing better
by Antwone Beltraine.
Okay. You see,
like, with this,
my grandma likes to have
newspapers and magazines
and stuff around 'cause
then she can read it and...
One time, I had a client who
never threw anything away.
She was crushed to death
under a pile of newspapers.
Is that what
you want, Matt?
No. But... I can't live
here unless it's clean.
Okay.
We, that means you,
should install a guardrail
on the steps. Okay.
The thing we have to be careful
of at her age is falling down.
And we're all going to have
dinner together from now on.
Okay. Look.
That's great,
but what about
her mind?
Like, how are we gonna help,
you know, help her think?
Yeah, she's a little
cuckoo. She needs structure.
She needs
the TV off.
She needs crossword puzzles
and walks and conversation.
Okay. But, whoa.
Hey. Where are you going?
I think you people may have a mildew problem.
Okay. Look.
This is my room. So...
Did you draw this?
Yeah. Can I have it back, please?
What's the matter?
It's good.
Thanks. But
this is my room,
so I think we... It's kind of depressing.
You need some
new curtains.
Curtains? How old are these sheets?
I don't know. I had them for...
Okay. Help me move the bed.
No, we're not
moving the bed. No!
Really, Matt?
Yeah. Haven't you heard of the Internet?
Yeah, that's funny.
That's funny. Thanks.
I mean...
Hmm.
Oh, baby.
You are hot.
Hey, Jules.
Come here and feel her. Tell
me if you think she's hot.
Um, I really don't know
anything about babies.
I'm sorry.
But Lois is outside waiting,
so I really gotta go.
Well, be home
by 10:00, please.
All right.
I love you.
Love you.
Oh, Gracie Belle,
don't do this to me.
Yeah?
Coach, you wanted
to see me?
Yeah. Come in here,
Taylor.
Three games.
Sir?
Antwone Beltraine's only
going to be out three games.
Oh.
Well, that's good.
You're damn
right it is.
He said you put on
quite a show up there.
He also said that you
hollered at him pretty good.
He kind of has
that effect on people.
I bet you were one hell of
a high school coach, Taylor.
Appreciate that, Coach.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hey. How are you doing?
I'm doing good.
So have you made it a point
of stalking me or something?
No.
It's a lucky
coincidence, though.
What are you doing?
I am de-bugging
my friend's windshield.
No, I mean tonight.
What are you
all dressed up for?
Oh. Um,
it's the big
Panther pep rally.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
That sounds
like fun.
Yeah. You have no idea.
I'm sure I don't.
Well, you
know what?
Why don't you hop in?
I'll take you
in the most majestic
vehicle on Earth.
Um...
Come on.
Really.
I'll give you a ride.
Okay. Um, I just gotta go tell Lois though.
Yeah.
Hey, we are so happy to
have you all come out here.
And we especially
want to thank you
for coming out to my ranch here tonight.
We really, really
appreciate it.
And now the minute you've all
been waiting for, you guys!
It's time to meet
the 2006
Dillon High School
State Champions!
Give them
a hand, y'all!
Are y'all ready
for some Smash-ball?
Hut!
Hut!
Hut!
Get your, get your
Get your hands up
On the south side
in my low ride, boy
I'm so fly
Ain't no chump, boy
Don't get all high
All the girls crushing,
say, "Smash is my guy"
You feeling the flow?
Put your hands in the sky
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I used to have a
place like this once, too,
but I sold it
for this van.
So this is how you guys throw a party.
Let's just say, football
isn't lost on Dillon.
Well, hey. It was nice
seeing you again, you know?
Yeah. Thanks
for the ride.
It's always good stuff. I don't know.
Next time
you wanna...
You can call me sometime.
Hey.
I'm sorry. Did I miss your thing?
Yeah.
It doesn't matter.
It's the Smash
show anyway.
Look, I think we really need to talk.
Okay.
Talk.
I just think that
maybe we've changed
or something.
The point is it's me. It's not you.
You didn't
do anything.
I know I didn't
do anything.
I know it's not me.
I know it's...
I know
it's the Swede.
No. It's
not the Swede.
Look.
How about
just be honest
with me?
Just tell
me the truth.
It's just...
It's the Swede.
It's my parents.
It's me
feeling trapped.
It's me turning
into my mom.
It's just...
I don't know. Nothing seems right anymore.
And I just really
need some space.
Where did you go?
Where did you stay?
Oh, Lester.
Yeah, no,
Garrity...
Garrity Motors is
not good enough.
It's not "wholesome. "
This is wholesome.
This is Lester's
wholesome trophy room.
Didn't even shoot one of
these damn animals probably.
And here is
Mr. Lester out there
working that hillbilly.
Mmm-hmm.
Work that old
ridge-running
hillbilly, mouth-breather.
So, there's
14 seconds left.
Rain's coming down hard.
Jimmy Carter's
the president.
The country
is depressed.
Dillon is depressed.
By God, it's time to win
the state championship.
It's time for Buddy Garrity
to get this thing done.
You know
what I'm saying?
So, it's like...
Great party, Lester.
Lester! Lester, come over
here. You gotta hear this.
This is the state championship
game. 14 seconds left.
It's gotta be a run-pass option. Okay.
I got Speez
on that side,
I got Nippy on the outside. I got...
Hey, why don't
I get that for you?
No! I'm telling
the story!
So I'm under the center.
I got Billy right here
and I go back so, wait, I
remember this. "Tomahawk. "
Hut, hut, hut!
Run-pass...
Hey!
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
That's enough now. Now...
Get your hands off me!
You want some of me, boy?
I will go pop you right
now! You want me? Come on!
Let's go, Lester.
Let's go. You and me.
You need to just take it easy. Let's go!
Let's go, boy!
Lester!
You want some
of me now, boy?
I got it.
Riggo.
It's Riggins. Tim Riggins.
Right here, baby. State champion.
State champion!
State champ!
Lester never played.
I think I lost, Riggo.
I never lost
in my life.
I have lost
my family,
and now I lost
football and my...
What's going on?
What is he, drunk?
I don't know, Lyla. Maybe
he's had "one too many. "
What do you think?
Go. I got it.
I can do this.
God, you must
be loving this.
I got it. Why would I love this?
I don't know. Just go, please. I've got it.
You want me to seriously leave? Just go.
I got it.
Get up, please.
Oh, it's spinning.
It's spinning.
It's spinning.
It's spinning.
I love you. I love you.
Okay, Dad, I need you
to get up, okay?
I love you.
Oh, my head
is spinning.
It's spinning, it's spinning, it's spinning.
Will you help me, please?
Sorry, Lyla.
I love you, baby.
Please?
Here we go.
This is it?
This is mine.
This is mine.
This is
your barn, huh?
I love you.
Here we go.
I love you. Where's your room, Dad?
I'm sorry. Are we going what way?
It's up here.
Oh...
Gotta roll you over, Dad.
Been here before.
All right.
I got it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, guys.
Thanks.
Good night,
champ.
I just wanted
to play
the game.
I love you
both so much.
I love you.
I love you.
Why's everything
always falling apart?
Listen.
I think he'll
be just fine.
Believe me,
I've seen, uh...
I've seen a few drunks
in my day and
he's not
one of them.
He's not.
He's just sad,
that's all.
He made his bed.
How you doing?
I'm okay.
You?
I'm great.
You better go.
You probably have a three-way
to get to or something.
Good night, Lyla.
All right, Tami. Make sure
she's getting enough fluids.
Offer her formula
after you breast feed.
And she needs to eat once
every hour, okay? Okay.
Maybe you and your husband can take shifts.
Yeah.
That's not
gonna happen.
She's gonna
be fine.
Okay.
Do you have anybody you can call?
Maybe you shouldn't
drive yourself home.
Um...
Babe, she's fine. I swear.
The doctor brought
her fever right down
and she's starting
to sleep now.
She's nice and quiet.
No, I don't want
you running home.
You just stay. Sit tight where you are.
I don't want you
coming back here, honey.
Honey, I'm fine. I swear.
And she's good. It's a
trip to the emergency room.
You know how
many times
Julie got dragged
over here.
I love you, baby.
I promise.
Okay. All right.
I love you so much.
Bye.
Hey.
Hey, Glenn.
Thank you for coming.
Are...
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
It looks like she's waking up on you.
Sorry.
How are y'all?
You're so sweet.
I'm sorry.
I know it's late.
No, no, you know,
it's fine.
I wasn't
doing anything.
You're so sweet and I didn't
have anybody else to call and...
No, it's... Thank you very much.
I really
appreciate it.
You're real nice. I'm sorry
I was kind of a bitch to you.
I'm just a little emotional at the moment.
You weren't
a bitch to me at all.
It's fine. Okay?
It's really no big deal.
You're so sweet.
Thank you.
Do you have everything? I think so.
Yeah, I think we got it. Okay. Let's go.
Oh, hi,
sweetheart.
It's a beautiful baby.
Thank you.
Hey,
you know, this might not
be any of my business, but
I'm not trying to step over the line,
but you know
this whole ordeal,
this living apart
from your husband thing?
What was the point
of that exactly?
I don't know.
That was just
my idea.
It was just
a stupid idea.
How did you
get in here?
I'm glad
he's dead.
God, I...
You know, he...
Landry, he wasn't going to stop.
He was just gonna keep on doing that to me.
You know, maybe something's
wrong with me, but
I am...
I am so glad
he's dead.
I just, um...
I wish I was the one
who killed him.
Don't.
Don't say that. Don't.
You are the best guy
I have ever known.
No, and if anything
happens to you
because of me,
I will never...
I would never
forgive myself.
I'm so sorry.
Don't. No.
Don't be sorry.
There's nothing
to be sorry about.
We're okay.
We're gonna be fine.
Stop. We're
gonna be okay.
Okay?
We're gonna
be okay.
is your father?
In and out. Come on,
Tami. Take a deep breath.
Hey. Hey.
You look good.
Thanks.
You're welcome. It's probably
because yesterday I was baptized
and accepted Jesus
as my Lord and Savior.
Enjoy Jesus.
Yeah, enjoy your
depraved hedonism.
Say hi to
the Swede.
Who's
"the Swede"?
Some boy she's flirting with at the pool.
If you leave Matt,
no one is going
to love you any less.
You realize that?
I really miss
having you around.
No.
Maybe it's colic.
Oh, honey.
It's not colic.
Well, Julie,
she was colic.
I love you so much,
sweetheart,
but you don't know
what you're talking about.
Julie was
not colicky.
The only time Julie ever cried was the time
you slammed her hand in the
car door going to the store.
First of all,
that was 15 years ago,
and you're the one that
let her get her hand stuck.
All right, I'm sorry. You know
what? Were you asleep when I called?
No. Yes, you were. Go back to sleep.
Well, no. There's no sense in me
going back to sleep now that I'm awake.
Go ahead and
talk to me.
All right, darling.
How's work going?
It's good.
Well, that doesn't
sound very convincing.
It is good. It's good. It's like
being, you know, it's like...
It's, like, this bed's
uncomfortable, for one thing.
And the other
thing is that,
you know, it's like being
the new kid in school.
There's this inner circle that, you know,
you're never part
of the inner circle.
All you have to do
is be indispensable.
And you and I both know that's
just what you do so perfectly.
Well, that's a very wifely
thing for you to say.
Hmm. Oh, now
you got her crying.
I miss you
and I love you.
I love you, baby. I love you. Bye-bye. Bye.
Landry,
what time is it?
Why are you
calling me?
Look, I can't
find my watch.
What?
I can't...
I can't find
my watch.
The last time
I had it was...
You know what? Even if
somebody found that watch,
they're not gonna know it's yours. Okay?
Yeah. Well,
that's fine, Tyra.
Except for the fact
that it's engraved,
"To Landry.
From Grandpa. "
Okay, you need to take a deep
breath here and calm down.
It's probably
with the body.
That's all I'm saying. "Take a deep... "
I can take all the breaths that I want,
but that's not gonna matter
whenever I'm in the electric chair.
Okay. Landry. This is not normal,
what we're doing right here.
Walking around at
3:00 in the morning.
Well, I'm sorry if I'm embarrassing
you right now. Is that all...
No, you're not embarrassing me
but we're not supposed to return
to the scene
of the crime.
Oh, really? I didn't realize you
were so knowledgeable about this.
Maybe you should just write
a "How To" book on how to...
Oh, that's
helping right now.
Those nasty comments.
That's great.
I'm trying to
hold it together.
Think anyone's
looking for him?
You know,
friends or family
or someone?
This...
Let's go home.
Okay?
Come on.
Let's go.
Let's go.
Watch your footwork.
Eyes up.
Hut!
Hey, Eric.
Yeah?
Coach wants
to see you.
All right.
Keep it up.
Hut!
Coach, I know it's...
I do wind sprints,
balance.
Antwone.
Coaches.
Hey, Eric.
Antwone.
Antwone here is in a little trouble
with the infractions committee
for accepting gifts
from a booster.
Isn't that right,
Antwone?
Taylor, I need for you to
escort this knuckle-head
to his hearing tomorrow because I don't trust
that he can make it
there on his own.
We fully expect him to be
suspended for the season
because he was stupid enough to get caught
at the Justin Timberlake
show with an agent.
Justin Timberlake.
Hope he was
worth it, Antwone.
Hey, hey, hey.
Step off.
That little white boy's got soul.
I don't want to hear
another word out of you.
What about...
How about practice?
Don't worry about it.
We'll cover it.
All right. Since
we got that covered,
we taking my car.
Hello. Hey, Glenn. Come on in.
Hi. Gosh. Thank you so
much... You're welcome.
...for seeing me
at home like this.
Let's... Why don't we... Let's
just go on in the kitchen there.
Okay?
Okay.
You can probably find
a spot on the table.
Really, again, I mean, thank
you for seeing me at your home.
I know that's probably
an inconvenience to you.
It's fine.
It's just, I mean,
these kids.
There's so many
of them, you know.
They're coming at
me like ninjas.
I know.
They do that.
Go down for a little bit
while we talk.
Wow. I hope you didn't go to
all this trouble just for me.
I just had
a baby, Glenn.
Um, I was kidding.
I'm sorry.
What's the problem?
Let's just go over it, okay?
Okay, um,
Barry Harby.
Barry Harby. Junior. Linebacker. Right.
What? He's trying to tell you he can't read?
Yeah, he said that
he can't read.
Well, the football players are
going to mess with you, you know?
He's just trying to get into an
easier English class, all right?
You can't let these kids ride
roughshod all over you like that.
Okay.
Who's next?
Right, uh... Tiffany Barnes. Tiffany Barnes.
She wants you to write her
a recommendation, right?
Yes, she does.
To Vassar.
To Vassar.
She can't get into
Vassar any more than
I can get into my old jeans, all right?
You see what I'm saying? Okay. Absolutely.
How's she doing with the
divorce of her parents?
I... You know,
I have no idea.
Look, I'm a
science teacher.
I teach science.
And I'm a little out
of my element, you know?
Mmm-hmm.
And I don't know
if there's any
just general words of wisdom
that you can give me
or, like, if you
have a book
or anything
that I can read
or you could refer me to. It's simple.
I just have no experience.
You need to just
connect with these children.
That's all there is to it.
Hey, hon.
You know what? Listen.
I was thinking tonight,
if you wanted to,
you and Matt
could rent a movie
and order in some food
and you could
bring it over here.
Have a little date night here. You know?
What is it
with you?
"Matt this.
Matt that. "
You know Matt has his own life, right?
Who's next?
Matt, would you please
hurry up. We're already late.
Yeah. I know... Can we please just go? Put...
I don't know if we're supposed
to pick Julie up or not.
All right?
I left her, like,
four messages and she never called me back,
so I don't know.
Look. Maybe if we
just go by her house
and see if she's there.
And if she's there,
then we were
supposed to get her,
and if she's not,
then we'll just...
Maybe we could do that.
Or maybe
your testicles are just in
her panty drawer, Matt.
Have you ever
thought about that?
Even I know that she's not... What is that?
Who's at the door?
Yep?
Package for Lorraine.
How you doing?
Need me to
sign for it?
No, it's
all right. Thanks.
Grandma, what'd
you order?
Is that my tiara?
Tiara?
Is it?
Look how pretty.
That'll be beautiful
for whenever you
just zip over
to the Rite Aid.
Twenty-four hundred?
Grandma, no, no, no.
It's $2,400.
We gotta
send this back.
Look how pretty.
Beautiful.
It's really pretty, but
it's really gotta go back.
Oh, boys.
Look at her.
You can't put
a price tag
on happiness.
Hmm.
And again, we're glad to
have Coach MacGregor here.
Came out of those
hills of Tennessee
to the great
state of Texas.
Thank you, Buddy. Oh, yeah.
Season-opener pep rally
is coming up.
And I'm proud to say
that Garrity Motors
will sponsor and
host as we have
so many years
in the past.
Buddy.
We've all
been talking.
We thought it'd be nice if
we had a new venue this year.
Well, what do you mean,
"We've all been talking"?
Well, Lester's
got his ranch.
There's a lot of
space indoors and out.
We can barbecue.
Make it a family affair.
You know,
make it, uh,
I don't know,
more wholesome.
Garrity Motors
is wholesome.
Buddy, you've got a lot going on right now.
What does that
mean, Lester?
Buddy, it's just a party. It'll be fun.
And I sure hope
you can make it.
Look, I need that in-home
care that you promised me.
All right? I call y'all people once...
Door? Are you
gonna get the door?
I call y'all people
once a week
checking in on her.
And I'm taking care of
my grandmother who's...
You want me to talk to them for one second?
I'm on hold. You can't really
talk... You're obviously
getting nothing accomplished
because it's been 30 minutes.
Oh, no.
Hey.
Julie.
Hey.
Um.
Oh, no.
I didn't know
if you needed a ride.
So I called you
a couple times.
Oh, I'm sorry.
My phone was dead.
All right.
I got a ride with Lois.
Okay. Well, do you wanna maybe...
What are you... You wanna do something?
Yeah. Um, give me a call later, okay?
Okay. I'll see you later.
All right.
Hello?
Christ, shield me
today from wounding.
Christ with me.
Christ before me.
Christ behind me.
Christ in me.
Christ on my right.
Christ on my left.
Christ above me.
Hey.
How's it going?
Christ beneath me.
Christ when I lay
down and in our hearts.
Christ in our families.
Christ in
the hearts of everyone
who thinks of us
and Christ in the mouths of
everyone who speaks of us.
Blue 20!
Blue 20! Hut!
McGILL: There he is.
Got him!
Yeah. There he is.
All right.
Good catch, Smash.
See that boy?
Thing of beauty!
Way to go, Smash!
Good catch.
Saracen. Saracen.
It was a good toss.
All right?
Good read, Saracen.
Coach.
Am I a thing
of beauty, too?
Let me ask you something, Riggins.
Can you count to 50?
Yeah.
Good.
I got 50 for you
right over there.
Hit it!
Let's go!
Fifty good ones!
Let's go!
Come on! Come on!
Let's get it on!
Let's go!
Blue 20!
Blue 20! Hut!
Come on, Landry.
Let's run this thing again.
Blue 20!
Blue 20! Hut!
Come on, Landry.
Get your feet
on the ground, son!
Get your feet
on the ground!
Come on. Come at me. Come on!
Come on! Hey! Try to do that stuff out there!
Yeah!
Come on, son! Dig a little deeper, all right?
More fight. Come here,
come here, come here.
You're on offense. All
right. Shake it off, Matt.
All right,
water break!
Take a break, boys!
Hey, Dad.
You're looking good
out there.
You sure you're
talking about...
I was just getting
my ass handed to me
by Riggins, like,
five times in a row.
I can't really feel my
right ear for some reason.
Give it time.
You're on the team.
That's all
that matters.
I'm real proud of you.
I mean it.
All right.
Pretty good.
I know, right?
Yeah, definite progress. So
what do you think it means?
Well, you're still
recovering from your injury.
You've been great about
your physical therapy,
and that's some of the reason
your muscles are coming back.
This improvement in your
hands? It's wonderful.
But it's not necessarily
indicative of anything else,
if that's what
you're thinking.
Yeah, but
who's to say that...
Jason, I am.
You're not gonna
walk again, Jason.
At least not without
a major medical breakthrough
and it's something we
are still years away from.
Hey, dude.
What's up?
Same old crap.
Just told me
I'll never walk again.
Again.
Depressing as
usual, right?
I just thought...
I know this guy.
He does some experimental stem
cell surgeries down in Mexico.
Heard they're doing
really good with it.
This is my house!
I need you
out of here!
This is my
exercise time!
Did you hear me?
I said, "Get out!"
Help!
Get out of my house! Hey.
Get out!
Grandma, what's...
What's going on? Oh, Matt! Thank goodness.
She tried to
turn off my TV!
Who tried to turn off... She did!
Okay. See, Grandma,
there's nobody here...
See? No. There!
Okay.
Who are you?
Carlotta.
Carlotta Alonso.
Don't let her
throw away my tapioca.
The in-home nurse
you demanded.
No! Whoa, hey, that's her tapioca.
This is junk.
That's what I
have every night.
You need to get
rid of this TV.
Oh, no, no,
no. See...
Oh, get out of my house! Hey, it's all right.
I can't!
It's my job!
It's okay to keep
the TV on 'cause it
seems to be the only thing
that calms her down, so...
It's destroying
her mind.
I'm sorry, but a lot of things
are going to have to change.
Like?
Where am
I supposed to sleep?
What do you
mean, "sleep"?
I mean sleep. I'm going to live here.
Oh, um...
My Lord.
What you doing, Coach?
Why don't you tell me what you're
going to say to the committee?
I got it down, no worries.
Good. Let's hear it.
No, Coach. I want it to sound
spontaneous. You know?
From the heart.
That's great. So let's hear
it then. Be spontaneous.
All right.
I'm sorry that I took those
tickets to Justin Timberlake.
Especially when they ain't
have no Cristal in the box.
Can you
believe that?
I don't drink no cheap stuff, Coach.
That's real funny.
You know what's not
in that little speech
of yours, though?
What's that,
Coach?
How about you put a
little contrition into it?
Just a little bit.
You know
what that is?
I got an idea. But that's
probably because I'm not sorry.
You're not sorry?
No, sir,
I am not.
You hear that, America?
I'm not sorry!
How about that? Let me
ask you something, hotshot.
You pay for this car all yourself? Oh, yeah.
Yeah?
All by myself.
You pay for all that nice jewelry
you got on there all by yourself?
That's nice, yeah. Yes,
sir. I got a paper route.
Yeah? Oh, come on, Coach!
Everybody knows
we take stuff.
Everybody knows you take
stuff. Look, I play football.
Hell, they should
be paying me anyway.
I bring a million dollars
to this school every year.
This stuff started for
me when I was in Pee Wee.
I got ice cream.
Quiet.
Hey, babe.
How you doing?
We're fine.
Everything's fine.
Me and Gracie are out for a
walk. We're walking to school.
And, in fact, Gracie has
a couple words for you.
She'd like to talk to you. Hold one second.
Hold on.
No. Don't do that.
Now's not the time.
Don't do that.
Talk to your daddy. Tami.
She's crying...
Hello?
It's Dad.
It's Daddy.
I love you, Gracie.
I love you.
Dad loves you.
Hey. I love you.
Now let me talk to Mom. Tami? Hello?
Hey. Mom! Hey, listen.
Honey, I gotta go. I'll call you back. Bye.
I... What?
I just wanna ask
you one thing.
What you doing
in the car with me
when you have
a new baby?
Hello?
You don't just open the door, Buddy.
This is not your
house anymore.
Hey, what are all my trophies
doing out in the front?
I don't want
them anymore.
You can get them out of here by Sunday
or they're going in the garbage. All right.
I will.
And you're early.
Yeah, five minutes.
Yeah, five minutes.
Can I come in my house, please? No.
You know what?
Frankly, Buddy,
I don't think
I feel safe.
I'm sorry, Pam, about
the other night. You know,
I admit I lost it.
I just...
You know, a man can
only be pushed so far.
Oh, don't you even dare talk
to me about being pushed, Buddy.
I am the victim here.
You know, I think it's
about time for us to lose
the "innocent
victim" stuff.
Oh, you know what? You are
too much. Especially since
you got somebody in
my... I can't believe you.
Huh?
Mom.
Come on, Dad. Let's get this over with.
Okay.
Hey, Bud.
Have fun, okay, sweetie? Hey, Tabs.
Let's go.
Hey, what's that?
A soccer ball?
Yeah.
All right.
Let's do it.
Gonna have
some fun.
She's always, like,
the middle man,
of the band.
Okay.
You gotta get something
really important.
I always have problems
with lights like that.
I always want
a smoke machine.
So, yeah, we need
a smoke machine...
Hey, Jules.
Here you go.
Thank you.
Hey!
Julie!
Hey, what're
you doing?
Hey.
Just picking up
my paycheck.
Okay.
So where did you
go the other night?
Oh, um, I actually had
another party to go to.
Oh, cool. Yeah, no.
I mean, someone had
said they saw you get
picked up by your
dad or something.
Oh, oh, that was
my older friend.
Yeah?
Yeah.
But I got a lot of studying to do, so I'II...
I'll see you around.
Oh.
That's right. School's started, huh?
Yeah.
Okay.
So...
So I guess
this is goodbye?
Guess it is.
Wow.
All right. Well, hey, don't
go growing up too fast 'cause
you're gonna be
a heartbreaker.
Guys are just gonna be busting
down your door, so watch out.
So I'll see
you around, kid.
TAMl: Hey, Glenn.
Hey.
Hope you don't mind. We just dropped by.
I'm gonna plop down on your
couch right now. I'm exhausted.
I just walked all
the way from my house.
You walked all the way from your house?
Yeah, we did. It is boiling hot out.
Yeah, it's
105 degrees out there.
That's completely
insane.
Well, it's not insane
when you have a baby
who won't stay quiet unless
you're moving her all the time,
and I figured I'd kill
two birds with one stone.
Right.
What's your problem
with that, Glenn?
Uh, it's no problem.
It's just that you're
profusely sweating,
you got a newborn baby,
you're walking in
105 degree temperature.
I mean, you're perspiring.
It's your glands.
I'm sorry. I don't need you
talking about my perspiration.
I don't need you talking about my glands.
I'm sorry.
Thank you.
I came here to talk about the job which,
it seems to me, you might
need a little bit of help with.
I might need a little bit of help with it.
I'm really not qualified to be doing it,
to be completely
honest with you.
But I think what's more
important is your behavior.
Your bringing
this baby here.
I'm concerned about
the baby's health.
It could get
sick, you know?
Excuse me, Glenn. Let me
tell you something right now.
Right here and
right now. Okay?
This isn't my first
barbeque, Glenn. All right?
So I don't appreciate you
going on and on and on
about what a bad
mother I am.
I'm not saying...
Okay?
I'm not trying to say
that you're a bad mother.
Oh, really? Really? No,
I'm not trying to say...
Well, that's what it
sounds like to me.
I'm not trying to say
that you're a bad mother.
Well... What I am saying, although...
Now look
what you did.
I'm a little afraid to
say it to you right now
because frankly you frighten
me a little bit, Tami. Okay?
You've got a lot
of nerve.
I'm just trying to help.
I'm not your doctor.
Well, no.
I was trying to help.
I was trying to help
by coming over here,
which I think you need
a little bit of help.
So don't you go and
you judge me on how...
What kind of mother
I'm being.
How dare you!
That's not what I was trying to do, Tami.
Well, how dare you!
'Cause that's what it sounded like to me.
I'm sorry.
Uh, look.
I'm not trying to upset you or anything.
Well, too late. This was just a bad idea.
You know what?
You just do your own...
Go on.
Do your job.
Want something
to drink?
You want some
water or something?
Why don't... You know what? I'm
gonna get you a glass of water, okay?
Hey. Uh...
Julie, it's Matt.
Um...
You told me
to call later
and it's later,
so I'm calling.
Anyways, just
call me back
and then I'll talk
to you later.
Bye.
TAMl:
Sorry, Gracie.
Just bunk.
Hey, Mrs. Taylor.
Oh, hey,
Jason Street.
How you doing? I'm good. How are you?
Great.
Awesome.
Never better. I was
wondering if I could have...
You meet Gracie?
Oh, hi, Gracie.
I was wondering if I could
have a second of your time?
Sure. I don't want to interrupt.
We can keep walking. Okay. No problem.
We're just
walking home.
I, uh...
I've been having
this dream lately.
Mmm-hmm.
A lot.
And you're in it.
Oh, Lord.
So in the dream, uh,
you, uh, you tell me
to get up and walk.
And I do.
I walk.
Uh-huh.
'Cause you told me to.
You make me walk.
Really?
Yeah.
Yeah. And one day
after having
the dream,
I, uh...
I found out I could do this again.
I could make a fist
with my right hand,
which I could
not do before
and I still can't do
with my left, but...
That's great.
That's great,
Jason.
Well, I just wanted to
talk to you 'cause I feel
like it really
means something.
I think it means
I'm gonna walk again.
Soon.
How about that?
So, uh,
anyway, I guess I just
wanted to say, "Thank you. "
Uh...
And you have a great day.
Bye, Gracie. All right?
You're welcome.
Yeah.
I'm so glad I got to see you today, Jason.
Me, too. You have a great day, Mrs. Taylor.
Thank you.
Hurry up. Let's go.
Let me ask you something, Coach.
You got that baby
on a schedule?
Oh, wait.
You wouldn't know that, would you?
No, but seriously,
how's your wife feel about
being alone with the baby?
That was
a question, Coach.
Hurry up.
Let's go.
Look at that scowl.
I gotta get a picture
of this, Coach. Hold on.
I'm gonna send
this to your baby.
You think this is a damn joke, don't you?
It's all a big
damn joke to you.
All the talent you got,
what do you use it for? Huh?
Getting free stuff and
letting your team down.
You know what
my opinion is?
You don't deserve
to play the game.
What do you
think about that?
Who do you think
you're talking to?
You let your team down.
You let yourself down.
Then again, you don't care, do you?
Huh? You don't care if
you finish out the season.
'Cause I'm sure
big old Antwone,
he's got it
all figured out.
He's got a backup plan, doesn't he?
Who am
I talking to?
Who am I?
Who the hell are you?
All right. We're going double time, now!
Oh, hey, Landry.
Um...
I just wanted to say congratulations
on making the football team.
I'm actually... I'm sort of your rally girl.
You're sort of my rally... Yeah.
So you're my rally girl? Mmm-hmm.
Wow. Landry,
your own personal rally
girl. I guess you've arrived.
Anyway, we can work
out the details later.
So. I just wanted to say hi.
Do you think that all human
beings are capable of evil?
I'm gonna borrow him
for a second.
I mean, obviously
some are.
Yeah, I don't...
I was asking her a question.
You don't have to rip me away.
You know what?
I'm not a little kid.
You don't have to hold my arm. Bye.
Bye. Thank you. Bye.
What the hell
are you doing?
What am I doing? Yeah.
Are you insane?
You have got
to hold it together.
I've got...
Yes!
Do you have no empathy about anything, Tyra?
Do you just
have ice water running through your veins?
Okay. That's not fair. You
don't need to tell me that.
I mean, a human being
is dead because of me.
And what
are you doing?
You're out trying to have a great time and...
Hey, you know what?
He was a rapist! Okay?
You're right, but
so that makes it okay?
Stop acting like he was some kind of saint.
I'm not acting like he was
a saint. Act like a man then!
You want me
to act like a man?
Yeah.
See, that's real
easy for you to say
because you're not the one
who killed him, are you?
You don't have to
think about that.
You don't have to close
your eyes and hear the sound
of his skull cracking every
time you go to sleep, do you?
Don't tell me
to act like a man.
'Cause, you know what,
the thing about this is,
I would do that again
for you in a second
because he hurt you
and because I'm in love with you, all right?
Don't look at me
like that.
All right? Don't.
Because you know.
You've known.
You've known forever.
It's not some
big secret, all right?
All right, let's just
not pretend like this was
some great thing that
we did and let's just...
Don't tell me to become a man, all right?
Because if that's your definition of a man,
that's extremely sad.
All right?
Look, gentlemen. I'm
not here to make excuses.
I mean, everybody
makes mistakes.
I made one.
A big one.
And I'm sorry
for that.
I should know better. My mom
raised me better than that.
And I swear to you,
on the Bible,
I promise you it
won't happen again.
I wasn't raised
that way.
I know better.
But it was a mistake.
All I want to
do is play ball.
That's been
my dream.
To make it
to the NFL.
Gentlemen, whether he plays at TMU or not,
Antwone Beltraine is gonna go to the NFL.
That's my opinion.
Now, he's either
gonna go as
a selfish,
undisciplined punk,
or you can allow
us to shape him
into what I believe
he could be.
All right. This problem is systemic.
It's a culture
in football.
It's been allowed to have a life of its own.
We all know that.
It's no great secret.
I mean, he's not
the only prima donna.
Fact of the matter is,
we're asking for one year
to drill some
sense into the kid.
Take away his iPhone,
take away his cars,
ridiculous jewelry
and all the other crap,
and we make his life miserable for a season.
He's gonna be representing us and, uh,
I propose our responsibility
lies in doing better
by Antwone Beltraine.
Okay. You see,
like, with this,
my grandma likes to have
newspapers and magazines
and stuff around 'cause
then she can read it and...
One time, I had a client who
never threw anything away.
She was crushed to death
under a pile of newspapers.
Is that what
you want, Matt?
No. But... I can't live
here unless it's clean.
Okay.
We, that means you,
should install a guardrail
on the steps. Okay.
The thing we have to be careful
of at her age is falling down.
And we're all going to have
dinner together from now on.
Okay. Look.
That's great,
but what about
her mind?
Like, how are we gonna help,
you know, help her think?
Yeah, she's a little
cuckoo. She needs structure.
She needs
the TV off.
She needs crossword puzzles
and walks and conversation.
Okay. But, whoa.
Hey. Where are you going?
I think you people may have a mildew problem.
Okay. Look.
This is my room. So...
Did you draw this?
Yeah. Can I have it back, please?
What's the matter?
It's good.
Thanks. But
this is my room,
so I think we... It's kind of depressing.
You need some
new curtains.
Curtains? How old are these sheets?
I don't know. I had them for...
Okay. Help me move the bed.
No, we're not
moving the bed. No!
Really, Matt?
Yeah. Haven't you heard of the Internet?
Yeah, that's funny.
That's funny. Thanks.
I mean...
Hmm.
Oh, baby.
You are hot.
Hey, Jules.
Come here and feel her. Tell
me if you think she's hot.
Um, I really don't know
anything about babies.
I'm sorry.
But Lois is outside waiting,
so I really gotta go.
Well, be home
by 10:00, please.
All right.
I love you.
Love you.
Oh, Gracie Belle,
don't do this to me.
Yeah?
Coach, you wanted
to see me?
Yeah. Come in here,
Taylor.
Three games.
Sir?
Antwone Beltraine's only
going to be out three games.
Oh.
Well, that's good.
You're damn
right it is.
He said you put on
quite a show up there.
He also said that you
hollered at him pretty good.
He kind of has
that effect on people.
I bet you were one hell of
a high school coach, Taylor.
Appreciate that, Coach.
Thank you.
Hey.
Hey. How are you doing?
I'm doing good.
So have you made it a point
of stalking me or something?
No.
It's a lucky
coincidence, though.
What are you doing?
I am de-bugging
my friend's windshield.
No, I mean tonight.
What are you
all dressed up for?
Oh. Um,
it's the big
Panther pep rally.
Oh, yeah.
Oh, man.
That sounds
like fun.
Yeah. You have no idea.
I'm sure I don't.
Well, you
know what?
Why don't you hop in?
I'll take you
in the most majestic
vehicle on Earth.
Um...
Come on.
Really.
I'll give you a ride.
Okay. Um, I just gotta go tell Lois though.
Yeah.
Hey, we are so happy to
have you all come out here.
And we especially
want to thank you
for coming out to my ranch here tonight.
We really, really
appreciate it.
And now the minute you've all
been waiting for, you guys!
It's time to meet
the 2006
Dillon High School
State Champions!
Give them
a hand, y'all!
Are y'all ready
for some Smash-ball?
Hut!
Hut!
Hut!
Get your, get your
Get your hands up
On the south side
in my low ride, boy
I'm so fly
Ain't no chump, boy
Don't get all high
All the girls crushing,
say, "Smash is my guy"
You feeling the flow?
Put your hands in the sky
Oh, my God.
Yeah, I used to have a
place like this once, too,
but I sold it
for this van.
So this is how you guys throw a party.
Let's just say, football
isn't lost on Dillon.
Well, hey. It was nice
seeing you again, you know?
Yeah. Thanks
for the ride.
It's always good stuff. I don't know.
Next time
you wanna...
You can call me sometime.
Hey.
I'm sorry. Did I miss your thing?
Yeah.
It doesn't matter.
It's the Smash
show anyway.
Look, I think we really need to talk.
Okay.
Talk.
I just think that
maybe we've changed
or something.
The point is it's me. It's not you.
You didn't
do anything.
I know I didn't
do anything.
I know it's not me.
I know it's...
I know
it's the Swede.
No. It's
not the Swede.
Look.
How about
just be honest
with me?
Just tell
me the truth.
It's just...
It's the Swede.
It's my parents.
It's me
feeling trapped.
It's me turning
into my mom.
It's just...
I don't know. Nothing seems right anymore.
And I just really
need some space.
Where did you go?
Where did you stay?
Oh, Lester.
Yeah, no,
Garrity...
Garrity Motors is
not good enough.
It's not "wholesome. "
This is wholesome.
This is Lester's
wholesome trophy room.
Didn't even shoot one of
these damn animals probably.
And here is
Mr. Lester out there
working that hillbilly.
Mmm-hmm.
Work that old
ridge-running
hillbilly, mouth-breather.
So, there's
14 seconds left.
Rain's coming down hard.
Jimmy Carter's
the president.
The country
is depressed.
Dillon is depressed.
By God, it's time to win
the state championship.
It's time for Buddy Garrity
to get this thing done.
You know
what I'm saying?
So, it's like...
Great party, Lester.
Lester! Lester, come over
here. You gotta hear this.
This is the state championship
game. 14 seconds left.
It's gotta be a run-pass option. Okay.
I got Speez
on that side,
I got Nippy on the outside. I got...
Hey, why don't
I get that for you?
No! I'm telling
the story!
So I'm under the center.
I got Billy right here
and I go back so, wait, I
remember this. "Tomahawk. "
Hut, hut, hut!
Run-pass...
Hey!
Excuse me.
I'm sorry.
That's enough now. Now...
Get your hands off me!
You want some of me, boy?
I will go pop you right
now! You want me? Come on!
Let's go, Lester.
Let's go. You and me.
You need to just take it easy. Let's go!
Let's go, boy!
Lester!
You want some
of me now, boy?
I got it.
Riggo.
It's Riggins. Tim Riggins.
Right here, baby. State champion.
State champion!
State champ!
Lester never played.
I think I lost, Riggo.
I never lost
in my life.
I have lost
my family,
and now I lost
football and my...
What's going on?
What is he, drunk?
I don't know, Lyla. Maybe
he's had "one too many. "
What do you think?
Go. I got it.
I can do this.
God, you must
be loving this.
I got it. Why would I love this?
I don't know. Just go, please. I've got it.
You want me to seriously leave? Just go.
I got it.
Get up, please.
Oh, it's spinning.
It's spinning.
It's spinning.
It's spinning.
I love you. I love you.
Okay, Dad, I need you
to get up, okay?
I love you.
Oh, my head
is spinning.
It's spinning, it's spinning, it's spinning.
Will you help me, please?
Sorry, Lyla.
I love you, baby.
Please?
Here we go.
This is it?
This is mine.
This is mine.
This is
your barn, huh?
I love you.
Here we go.
I love you. Where's your room, Dad?
I'm sorry. Are we going what way?
It's up here.
Oh...
Gotta roll you over, Dad.
Been here before.
All right.
I got it.
I'm sorry.
I'm sorry, guys.
Thanks.
Good night,
champ.
I just wanted
to play
the game.
I love you
both so much.
I love you.
I love you.
Why's everything
always falling apart?
Listen.
I think he'll
be just fine.
Believe me,
I've seen, uh...
I've seen a few drunks
in my day and
he's not
one of them.
He's not.
He's just sad,
that's all.
He made his bed.
How you doing?
I'm okay.
You?
I'm great.
You better go.
You probably have a three-way
to get to or something.
Good night, Lyla.
All right, Tami. Make sure
she's getting enough fluids.
Offer her formula
after you breast feed.
And she needs to eat once
every hour, okay? Okay.
Maybe you and your husband can take shifts.
Yeah.
That's not
gonna happen.
She's gonna
be fine.
Okay.
Do you have anybody you can call?
Maybe you shouldn't
drive yourself home.
Um...
Babe, she's fine. I swear.
The doctor brought
her fever right down
and she's starting
to sleep now.
She's nice and quiet.
No, I don't want
you running home.
You just stay. Sit tight where you are.
I don't want you
coming back here, honey.
Honey, I'm fine. I swear.
And she's good. It's a
trip to the emergency room.
You know how
many times
Julie got dragged
over here.
I love you, baby.
I promise.
Okay. All right.
I love you so much.
Bye.
Hey.
Hey, Glenn.
Thank you for coming.
Are...
Are you okay?
Yeah, I'm good.
It looks like she's waking up on you.
Sorry.
How are y'all?
You're so sweet.
I'm sorry.
I know it's late.
No, no, you know,
it's fine.
I wasn't
doing anything.
You're so sweet and I didn't
have anybody else to call and...
No, it's... Thank you very much.
I really
appreciate it.
You're real nice. I'm sorry
I was kind of a bitch to you.
I'm just a little emotional at the moment.
You weren't
a bitch to me at all.
It's fine. Okay?
It's really no big deal.
You're so sweet.
Thank you.
Do you have everything? I think so.
Yeah, I think we got it. Okay. Let's go.
Oh, hi,
sweetheart.
It's a beautiful baby.
Thank you.
Hey,
you know, this might not
be any of my business, but
I'm not trying to step over the line,
but you know
this whole ordeal,
this living apart
from your husband thing?
What was the point
of that exactly?
I don't know.
That was just
my idea.
It was just
a stupid idea.
How did you
get in here?
I'm glad
he's dead.
God, I...
You know, he...
Landry, he wasn't going to stop.
He was just gonna keep on doing that to me.
You know, maybe something's
wrong with me, but
I am...
I am so glad
he's dead.
I just, um...
I wish I was the one
who killed him.
Don't.
Don't say that. Don't.
You are the best guy
I have ever known.
No, and if anything
happens to you
because of me,
I will never...
I would never
forgive myself.
I'm so sorry.
Don't. No.
Don't be sorry.
There's nothing
to be sorry about.
We're okay.
We're gonna be fine.
Stop. We're
gonna be okay.
Okay?
We're gonna
be okay.
