Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 2, Episode 6 - How Did I Get Here - full transcript

Santiago, if Lyla vouches for you, I do.

I can give you a job.

I'll do anything that
you ask me to do

and I'll try not
to mess it up too bad.

Landry has never lied to me.
You stay away from my boy.

I get you want
to walk again,

but guess what?
Never gonna happen.

Best case scenario,
you lose ten grand.

Worst case
scenario, dead.

Do you think I want to
go back to Dillon...

Jay!



I had an epiphany out there.
It would suck to die.

I'm not having the surgery.
Let's go back to Texas.

I'm turning
19 on Tuesday.

What did I get you
last year, Six?

Nothing.

And I don't expect nothing
from you this year either

'cause last time you
actually gave me something,

it was your brother's
pool cue.

You didn't tell him about it and
then he threatened to beat me up

unless I gave it back to him. So I'd much
rather not get anything from you this year.

I remember that.

Going back
to Dillon.

Nineteen.

What the hell am
I doing with my life?



Do it so your mother doesn't
have to do it. I get it, Dad.

And when you leave this morning,
make sure your mom doesn't have to

pick any of it up, 'cause I'm
tired of that. It's just rude.

It's rude and it's selfish and
it's so typical of my sister.

You should make her. Don't
let her get away with that.

Tell her to pick it up. You
shouldn't have to do that.

It's my first day of work, it's my
first day of having to leave Gracie.

Maybe she got
stuck in traffic.

She could've come in a day or two
earlier to make me feel more comfortable.

But no. She's in her own head.

Always. She's always in her own
headspace. Always a... She's your sister.

Hey, babe, I think you got your
first check. She's your sister.

You got your first check. And you know
there's not gonna be any kind of apology.

I mean, that's...
That's for damn sure.

I mean, she'll just waltz in
here like it's nothing and...

Babe, something's wrong with
your check. Come here. Come here.

What? Come here. Come here.

That's not right.
That is not right.

That's half what
it's supposed to be.

I know.

That's less than half
what it's supposed to be.

What did you talk about with Buddy? Huh?

What, what did you
decide with Buddy?

We just, you know...

Well, no.
I don't know.

Did... Well, no. I... No,

I just assumed that there
was... Well, sweetheart,

you can't assume things
I'm sure it's a mistake.

Like salary. It'll get taken care of.

She's here!
She's here!

Don't wake up the baby.
She's here, Gracie.

Hi!
Hi!

Oh, my God!

God, I missed you. I'm so happy to see you.

Oh, my God.

Oh, my God, look at you. You look amazing.

Oh, stop it.
I look like a cow.

Stop. Do think my ass got
bigger, like, with this baby?

Let me see.
Oh, give me a break.

You could bounce
a quarter off that.

Where is she?
She's right here.

Hey, Shelly.

Oh. Hey, Eric.
How you doing?

Honey, she said that I could
bounce a quarter off my ass.

You could bounce
all kinds of things.

Oh, my gosh,
she's so beautiful.

That's my
little Gracie girl.

Oh, my gosh. She looks just like her mama.

There's your Aunt Shelly.
Aunt Shelly! Aunt Shelly!

Hey! How are you doing?

How are you doing?

Oh, wow. Boys must be going crazy.

Yeah, right.

Oh, she's gorgeous.

She's hot.
Oh, she sure is.

You want some coffee or...
Oh, I'd love some coffee.

Okay. Okay.

Oh, honey, Tami, you can't use these diapers.

You gotta use cloth diapers. Those are bad.

Oh, well, I don't think
we really...

We don't have time for laundry and all that.

Eric, I can't believe I spent all
this time being jealous of you.

This is what I make
teaching pre-school.

Oh, really? Is that it? Yeah.

That's just a... That's... Well,
we're gonna get this taken care of.

That's just a mistake. Oh.
Okay. Fine. That's fine.

Hey, honey, it's good to
see you. It's not a big deal.

Good to see you. Okay.
You, too, baby.

You need to get
that taken care of.

Okay. I know. Babe, you need
to get that taken care of.

So what do you think of her? She's...

Welcome again everybody

to Buddy Garrity's "Hog Wild"
sale! All you people come on in!

You won't believe
your eyes.

Hey!
Y'all showed up!

I told you it was gonna be here, didn't I?

How you like it?

What the hell
are you doing?

"Hog Wild Sale. "
A what?

A "Hog Wild Sale. "

I do 150 cars on a day
like this. It's fantastic.

You know what? I want you to see
this. You're not gonna believe this.

I think I've got
our problem solved.

Everybody check this out.

A big round of applause
for Mr. Santiago Herrera!

All right.
And release!

Get him, Santiago!
Get him, baby!

Get him, baby!

Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!

Oh, yeah!
Oh, yeah!

Is that boy
fast or what?

I think we found
our new tight end.

You want to tell me about this? Uh, yeah.

Let's... Let's go to the office. Yeah.

Let's go in the office.
Excuse us.

State Championship and my
salary gets reduced 40?/??

No, it's 37. And I have every
intention of doing something about that.

I got a baby.
I got a mortgage.

Tami wants to put a new room on the house.

Oh, that's not very good
timing there. Oh, you think?

Listen, Eric. I know you're
upset and I understand.

But let me tell you
something right now.

We had to pay MacGregor off
and we had to get you back here.

That depleted
the Booster Club funds

and to tell you
the truth right now,

that fund is not solvent.
Just between you and me.

But I'm trying to do everything
I can to make this go away.

I'm gonna make
this okay for you.

Believe me.

Fix it.

What?

Fix it.

All right, gentlemen.
Hit the field!

Let's go! Let's get a move on!

Let's have a good practice
today. What do you say?

Look who it is.
What's going on, 85?

It's good to finally to have
you back. Tanned and crispy!

What's going on, man?
Game on, huh?

Yes, sir. Big W on the weekend, Two-Zero.

Hi, Rigg. It's good to see you, bro.

Getting after it.
See you out there.

Let's go now.
Get a move on.

Stretch it out deep.

1,000.

Three.
Coach?

1,000.
Four.

1,000.
Five.

Missed a week
of practice.

Is that it?

You done with me?

Let me tell you something.
We've been down this road before.

Too many times.
You understand me?

Lean to the right!

1,000.

Coach, I deserve at least one more chance.

1,000. I want you to step
off my field right now.

1,000.
Four.

All right.
That's good! That's good!

Let's break 'em
down into teams.

Defense down here
in the end zone.

Let's go!
Right now!

McGILL:
Defense, let's fire it!

This is quite a list that
you've left me here, Glenn.

Now Suzie Miller
is a straight-A student.

What is she
doing on this list?

Complaints about
her hygiene.

Oh. That's awful.

I've passed her in the hallway a few times,

and the complaints
are definitely valid.

But I figured that since you were coming back

and returning to us that I
would leave that one to you.

Oh, so sweet of you.

Thank you
so much, Glenn.

Well.
That's just adorable.

Thank you so much.

Hi.
Hi, hon.

Speak to you a second?

Hey, you must be Eric.

TAMl: Eric, Glenn.
Glenn, Eric.

Oh, hey, Glenn.
It's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you, too.

Can I speak to my
wife for a minute?

Yeah. Oh, of course. Sure thing.

I'll get out of your way. Well, I
happily pass the baton back to you.

Oh, thank you.
And...

Thanks for everything you did.
Yeah. I will see you later.

I'll see you in
the lounge, okay?

Absolutely.

Absolutely. Thanks for...
You did a great job. Okay.

Oh, thanks.
See you.

Take care.

"Meet in the lounge?"

What are you meeting
him in the lounge for?

I thought you eat
in the cafeteria.

Honey,
are you jealous?

No, I'm not jealous. I'm
just asking a question.

That is adorable.
You're jealous.

You like that?

Listen. I just came by to
tell you I talked to Buddy.

He's working on it.

And for your information, you better
start doing something out here.

Oh, you know what?
Would you call Glenn

and maybe he can come help
me do some co-counseling?

Hey, man.
This is some old bull.

Taking Rigg away is like
hanging me out to dry.

No, look. I know we need him out there,

but, like, Coach do have
a point. Oh, come on.

What if he decided... Don't
tell me you're on his side.

...to bounce right before
a playoff game?

Don't you remember he benched you
last week? He's out of control.

Matt. Hi. I'm Lauren. Hi. I'm Matt.

I just wanted to
introduce myself.

I just started
going here, so...

Right. No, I know. I noticed you.

Cheerleading.
I seen you cheerleading.

You're a good cheerleader.
Why are you hitting me?

Yeah. Well, I'm so glad that

I'm cheering for your team
now. It's such an honor

and you're so
incredibly talented.

So I'll see you
around, okay?

Yeah. I'll be, you know... Okay.

...around. Uh-huh.
Around.

Okay. Bye.

Bye.

Look like all your Julie
problems are about to be over.

But watch, Coach. He takes the inside gap.

We're coming outside. We gotta
get downside block right...

What set they in? A four three? Yeah.

They're walking
that guy up late, though.

They gotta come up from the
weak side and cut that guy off.

McGILL: Buddy.
You get it fixed?

I'm working on it.

Coach, we owe it to the
team to check this kid out.

I'm not kidding you.

Give me 15 minutes.

Thank you, Coach.

They're in an
11 personnel.

Watch this next set-up.

All right.

We start on your move!

4:17, Coach.

I won't say, "I told you so,"
but the kid's gonna be a star.

Let's see what
he can do with his hands.

Hut!

All right. It's all right,
babe. All right.

Get the next one.

How long you been
going to school here?

He just enrolled
about a week ago, Coach.

Where'd you go
before this?

I...
He was...

He was doing that little juvenile
retainer thing for a minute.

But he's done
with that.

I assume he can talk.

Oh, absolutely.

You tell him,
Santiago.

Played
football before?

No, sir.
No.

You ever play any
organized sports at all?

No.
No.

You want to come out here and
you want to play football for us?

Sure. That wasn't exactly an offer.

Well, I'll tell you what. Let's see
what you can do going long. All right?

Just run as
fast as you can.

Hut!

Yeah. Well.

I didn't tell him to catch it. I just
told him to go long. I didn't tell him...

You best stop him before
he climbs that fence.

Well, the kid's got a
lot to learn. You know...

Oh, you think?
Yeah.

He'll be all right.

Landry?

Yeah?

Come in.

You gonna be
joining us for supper?

I'm not... I'm not too
hungry. Y'all go ahead.

Mom made
chicken-fried steak.

Seems like you haven't been hungry in a week.

Something going on?

No.

Well, she
dumped me.

Well, girls can be
squirrelly that way.

Especially the cute ones.

She doesn't have you feeling
badly about yourself, does she?

No.

Well, good.

Surely you know
there'll be other girls.

Not like her.

Come on, Julie!
We want to see it.

TAMl: Let me see.
Oh, my God.

Let me see.

My God!

Uh-uh.
Yuh-huh.

She looks amazing.
No. No.

And you best take that off
before your father gets home.

But It's a present, Mom.
You look incredible, honey.

Take my word for it.
Hey. How you doing?

TAMl: Hi, baby.
Hey.

Oh, my God. Look!

Why are you dressed like that? What?

This is what everybody
in Brazil's wearing.

Yeah. It's what everybody
in Brazil's wearing.

We're not in Brazil.

You need to sit down. You
need to write a thank-you note

to your Grandma
for those boobs because

they are... They are unbelievable. Go change.

My God. You? Excuse me, summer of '86,

little string bikini and your butt
hanging out of your dolphin shorts.

You are not one to talk. If I give
you a $100, would you please stop?

Yes, but you don't
have a $100, Eric.

Okay. All right, y'all.

It was a joke. My God.

I'm taking off.

Are you taking Spanish? Yeah.

Really? Well, perfect.

Because you're gonna need it when
we take our trip to Costa Rica.

Costa Rica? Yes. Well, your mom and I,

we were supposed to go

but then she went and got herself
knocked up, so I want to go with you.

Thank you, Shelly.
I would love to go.

What? I'm just
teasing. That baby...

She's worth a thousand trips to Costa Rica.

Yeah. She is.

I know.
And besides, listen.

I have a little
consolation prize for you.

The Dixie Chicks are coming
to Midland Wednesday night.

I love the Dixie Chicks.

I know you do.

You wanna go? We got a Booster
meeting on Wednesday, Tam!

I know, hon.

There's no way I could
go to a Dixie Chicks...

Are you kidding right now?
I just started back at work,

and, you know...
Uh-uh.

A concert on a Wednesday.
What's the big deal?

I just don't see how I
can do it. Thanks, though.

It was just an idea.
It's a good idea.

Okay. You're welcome.

Mmm-hmm.

I'll go to
the Dixie Chicks.

Can I take your daughter
to the Dixie Chicks?

Can you get changed?

You need to get changed. Shelly's
gonna show me some pictures.

Oh, yeah.
Come, come, come.

So this... Oh, my God.
This was the beach.

It was unbelievable.
It's beautiful.

You can see... You can see for miles, okay?

You cannot
see any people.

That's so cool.

Coach.

Welcome home.

Thank you.
How you doing?

Welcome home
to you, too.

Is it good to get
back to the family?

Yes, it is. I saw Gracie. She's cute.

She's a cute little girl, huh? Yes, she is.

You doing good?
Yes, sir.

Good to be back?

Yeah. Yes, sir.

You still coaching?

I don't know,

Coach.

I'm just figuring out
my life right now.

Truth be told,
I could use the help.

I got a lot going on.

I need someone who knows
me and knows the team.

Hell, I need
someone I can trust.

When do you
want me back?

I'm working out 24l7.

Just eat right. You know,
trying to lose weight...

No. Looks
can deceive you.

Back then
I was just sticks.

They use to actually
call me Sticks. It was...

It was a fun time,
you know?

I think... Think it would
be a good life, you know?

Tim.

Rise and shine.
It's 3:00 p. m.

Yeah, it is.

Oh. I'm glad you stopped
by, actually. I'm just...

Do you know anything about
organic and biological compounds?

I'm not doing
your homework, Tim.

I'm... I'm here
about Santiago.

Right.

Santiago. Isn't that
a hog catcher?

He's not a hog catcher.

He's a student trying
to learn football.

No, thank you.

Yeah, I heard
he's crap.

Right. Okay.

So, which is why
I was wondering if maybe

you could help him out.
You know,

maybe teach him a few things
about football. How to play.

See, I don't know
if you've heard or not

but I kind of got kicked
off the football team.

So I don't really see why
I'd help someone get on it.

Well, gee,
I don't know, Tim.

Why would any human being help another?

Why...

Why would someone drop everything
and go all the way to Mexico

just because someone
called and asked for help?

Uh, yeah. See, this is a bit different
because that was life or death.

This is... Doesn't really
sound like life or death to me.

It's a favor, Tim.

Unbelievable.

Thanks a lot.

So, Eric. We think we found the
solution to this little salary snafu.

A little creative approach. Yeah.

Here's the deal. I cannot free up any
more coaching funds for the time being.

But there's a small pool of money set
aside for an Athletic Director. So?

What do you mean, "Athletic Director?" Yeah.

Like you would be the head of
the entire Athletic Department.

Well, that's great but I think
I've got enough responsibilities.

Eric, it's not a big deal. The
department pretty much runs itself.

Just think about this.
"Athletic Director" title?

I mean if you needed it
on a resume...

If you're ever applying for
another job, it looks really good.

The paycheck's pretty much
just a gravy train paycheck.

What do you say?

How much does
this job pay?

Well, it's not budgeted at a full
time position. It's part time.

But you combine it with what
you're already bringing home,

you're gonna be within spitting distance
of what you were making last year.

"Spitting distance?"

Eric, it's only temporary.
I swear to you.

Temporary.

What is that?
It's a...

It's a pump for
her breasts.

What?

You serious?

Yeah, it
like squeezes...

Squeezes milk out
of a lady's udders.

You know. You just hook it up here

and put something in there
and just pump it. You know...

Is there a motor
or something?

It's got some kind
of motor to it.

Oh! Hey, y'all need to... Hey, Tami. Sorry.

That's really
not a toy.

Welcome back, Tim. Glad you
made it home safe... Safely.

So sorry about that.
Disappearing and all. Mmm-hmm.

You know, I've been trying
to get him to be more

responsible to himself.
To... To others. Mmm-hmm.

That's good advice, Billy, considering
you're banging my ex-girlfriend.

She's not your ex-girlfriend.

All right. We all...
Can we focus, please?

And that kid likes me twice
as much as you, by the way.

I'm just throwing it out there. No,
he doesn't! That's just not true!

Hey! Hey!
Can we focus?

Sorry.
Thank you.

'Cause it looks to me like
on your little sojourn, Tim,

you missed yourself,
oh, two biology exams.

Yeah.

And what looks like a pretty important
term paper in your English Lit class.

So let's start there.

I don't know what
a sojourn is, ma'am.

A sojourn is
what's gonna keep you

back a year if you don't get it together.

That's right. That's
right. Change your attitude.

That's what a sojourn is. The
rest of it you can look up.

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

I am gonna be
squeezing his testicles

till he's bleeding
term papers.

But that aside...

Hmm.

I just need to get him
back on the team.

I mean, his future's
riding on this,

so I was just thinking, like,
maybe you could, you know,

exert a little influence
on Coach.

Is that right? Is that
what you were thinking?

What? What did you want her to do?

You know. Maybe

swing him a little bit.
Hey! Hey! Hey.

I'm here as
his educational advisor.

All right? That's what I'm here for.

That's what my role is.

You want to talk
to Coach Taylor?

You know where he is. You
can go talk to him yourself.

Yes, ma'am.
Come on, jackass.

Well, now, wait a minute.
I'm not finished.

Like father,
like son, huh, Chad?

Your boy played well
on Friday night.

Yeah, I don't want him
getting a fat head though.

He's still got
a ways to go.

Chad, Ronnie Blair.

Pleased to meet you.

Pleasure.

They brought me in from Midland
to help out with your homicide.

Yeah? That right?
How's the case going?

All but dead till we came across these.

The coroner found some car seat
fibers in the dead guy's jacket zipper.

We're thinking it came from the
vehicle that took him to the river.

Killer probably pulled the
body out and didn't realize

he was taking some of his
own car upholstery with it.

You know what
kind of car?

Well, it matches three
different models of GM

manufactured between
'74 and '78.

DMV's probably gonna pull up
about 20 of these in Dillon alone.

All right. Well, good luck with your digging.

Thanks. And tell your son
to keep up the good work.

Will do. Thanks for helping us out.

Hey, no problem.

Set! Hut!

Shrader!

You stand up like that, you're
gonna get your running back killed.

You stand up like that on a blitz,
you're gonna get your quarterback killed.

You understand me? Left eye
underneath his left ear hole.

Get low and drive.
What do you do?

Get low and drive.

Thank you.

Let's try it again.
Set! Hut!

Set! Hut!

Oh!

Jesus.

Set! Hut!

What was that
all about?

You wanna get your head out of
your ass and block for me, fool?

I am, but you're
not following me!

Hey, Coach! What the hell? Settle down!

Want us to run it again? What's
wrong, Smash? You hear me?

Your hearing all right? You
hear me? Yeah, I hear all right.

All right then.
Get it back.

Yes, I've got
the invoice here.

What I don't have is the equipment. I'm not.

I'm just trying
to tell you

I'm not gonna send you a check
until I get the equipment.

Why would I...

All right. And that's when
you'll get the check, then.

Yeah, you, too.

What?
All right, Coach. Look.

I don't mean
no disrespect

but I got my ass handed to me
out there on the field today.

And look, I know Riggins
shouldn't have gone to Mexico

and he's disrespectful to
you and the coaching staff.

He drinks too much and
misses too many practices.

But I need him.

I need him, Coach. I'm gonna
get killed out there without him.

Is it really worth throwing away
the season just to prove a point?

Hey, stop right there. I'm
not throwing away my season.

Are you throwing
away your season?

I'm not throwing
away my season. I'm...

Seems to me like Tim Riggins is
the one throwing his season away.

As far as your blocking is
concerned, it will be taken care of.

I'm just saying...
Now go to class.

Go to class!

Yeah?

And to what do I owe
the presence

of the captain of
the Dillon Panthers?

Nice crib, Riggs.

What's up?
The maid's on vacation?

What's up?

Hey, look, I want you
to come to dinner tonight.

My mama cooked.

Are you asking me
on a date, Williams?

Just save it.
Save it.

I need to talk to you about
how you're messing up this team.

Oh, I'm screwing up
the team now on my own?

All right, Riggs. I got no fullback
'cause of your drunk selfish ass.

And you're coming to dinner tonight
so I can talk some sense into you.

7:00. Be on time for once.

Hi, Julie.

Umm... What...

Hey.

What can I... What can I get you?

Um...

I don't... I don't really
want anything. I just...

I just... I wanted to say
something to you.

I just...

I wanted to tell you that I thought
about what you said the other night and...

And that you were right.
And that I was wrong

and I don't really know
what I was thinking.

I just... I wanted to
apologize for, like, everything.

And to tell you that I'm sorry
and I'm really sorry I hurt you.

Thanks.

And I just hope you can
forgive me and, you know,

maybe we can be
friends or something.

Yeah, me, too.

I guess I'll just
see you around, okay?

Okay.

Hello, Reverend.

I'm proud of you, Lyla.

Thank you.

And I'm praying
for you every day.

Thank you.

Hi.

Hello.

You got a second?

Yeah. Of course.

Looking forward to
the party tonight.

No, please.
Don't mention it.

Anybody I've ever said "Hello" to in my life,

my mom has invited to my
birthday party tonight.

Yeah, well.
What's up?

Ever notice how no one
ever changes in this town?

Nothing ever changes.

Everyone goes to the same church or same job

and same restaurants
and everybody goes

to the football game
on Friday night

and it's like this huge fish tank
that we're all stuck in and...

And you can't
find a way out.

Well, I'm kind of... I'm stuck.

I'm stuck.

Well, there's a way to be
unstuck. No, no, no. No.

No, I know what
you're thinking.

And, no.
I don't need saving.

I'm not here to
talk to God, okay?

I'm here to
talk to you.

'Cause out of
everyone I know,

you're just about the only
one that's changed their life.

And I admire it and I was
just wondering how you did it.

You just do it.

What I'm saying is

Coach Taylor needs to see
you take it up a notch.

I've said what
I could to the coach.

He said, "No. "
It's out of my hands.

So what? That's it?
You're just gonna give up?

I don't know what
else to tell you.

I said it all.

Oh, my God, my
sister can talk.

Okay, Tim. You ready for
a piece of pie for dessert?

Yes, ma'am.
Pie sounds great.

Oh, now you want pie?

How can I say no?

I don't like the way you're
flirting with my mama, to be honest.

Brian! What is wrong with you?

He's being polite.
Exactly.

Look, we're a lot different, you and me.

Me? I'm the Smash.

I'm throwed.
I'm Prime Time, 24l7.

Right.
And you...

You know, you're
that brooding, rough...

Whatever.
Look. The point is

neither of us can be who
we are without football.

It's the keys
to the ignition.

And if you don't
fight for that

you're just wasting a whole
lot of potential, that's all.

Oh, mama. Come on.
I wanted apple pie.

Gee, Dad.
What are you doing?

We're not going inside.

They found blood residue
outside the convenience store.

Matches up with
the dead guy.

Based on the head wound,
they figure that

he was probably struck there
with some sort of hard object

and then put in a car,

either unconscious or dead,
and taken to the bridge

and dumped in the river.

I don't know why you're
telling me this, but...

The water and the fish pretty
much did away with any foreign DNA

or prints that could've led to suspects.

And with no witnesses, the
detectives don't have much.

Except for one thing. The
coroner found upholstery fibers

in the zipper of
the deceased's jacket.

And guess where
they come from?

From GMC wagons.

Just like this one.

Okay, well, that...

I don't know
what you think,

but I mean how...
How many different...

How many different GMC wagons are there in...

Landry, if you had
something to do with this,

you have got
to tell me right now.

Better you tell me then
wait for them to drag you in,

'cause so help me God, son,
that's what's gonna happen.

Talk to me.

Time to trust me.

I didn't mean
to do it, Dad.

I didn't mean to.

It just happened.

Oh, God.

I didn't mean
to do it.

Oh, God, Land.

Okay, listen to me.

We're gonna need to take a drive. Right now.

All right.
Where?

Get in the car.
Follow me.

Right now.
Yes, sir.

Let's go.

This is good protection,
good blocking from everybody.

Nice little pump fake.
Look at that.

Our favorite.

Speaking of good blocking,
Williams, what just happened there?

Smash Williams. He's our
number one wide out, actually.

He's always catching
the long bombs.

And Bradley, that... Oh, there
we go. Bradley hiked it on two

and that snap was
supposed to be on three.

Bradley can't
count that high, so...

Don't worry about it. We
still won that game though.

We still won that game by
12, I think. Here it is.

Watch him.
Here he comes now.

Watch him. Watch him.
Watch his wheels here.

Here he goes.
Here he goes.

He takes off.
Watch his wheels.

Watch his wheels. Watch
him go! Here comes the hand!

There it is, right there!
600 total yards that day.

Broke the record.

We could've been
a dynasty, kid.

And then Lyla
would've been rich.

Dad!
What?

No, he's right.
He's right, you know?

Yeah, you can have it all, but you
can't have it all at once, so, you know.

You take your memories where
you can get them, right, Riggs?

Absolutely. Here's to
many more memories, man.

Happy birthday, Six.

Happy birthday.

Cheers.

I know what
it's like, you know.

At my old school,

my boyfriend and I broke
up for inexplicable reasons.

But every single
time I would see him,

I would get these
pains in my heart,

like someone was stabbing it with, like, a...

With a knife?

No. Worse.
Like, like a shiv.

A what?

Actually, I don't even know what a shiv is.

I think you mean, like...
Like a shank?

Like what they
use in prison?

Yeah!
Yes, yes, yes.

Like, um,
like a shank.

Like a rusty
old shank.

I'm sorry. I didn't mean to be so forward.

I thought that maybe...

Bye, you guys.
Hey, Collette?

Could I get
a ride home?

Yeah. Of course.

How you holding up?

Matt coming with
that Stepford girl?

You know, it's not like
we're together or anything.

It's not really
my business.

Very mature.
Very mature.

Okay. Hey.
Hey. Julie.

What do you say you and I
go get a big vat of ice cream

and rent Thelma and Louise and
cry our eyes out? What do you say?

Sure.

Hey, Coach.
Hey, Coach Taylor.

You got
a couple minutes?

Yeah.

Hey, before you go,
I just wanted to...

Just wanted to give these or donate
them to the athletic department.

It's my... It's all my tapes and everything.

My glory years.
From freshman year on.

See you, Coach.
So I figured

it would be
something good for

maybe the freshman or the J.V.
Quarterbacks to take a look at.

You're saying you're
quitting the team?

Yeah. It does.

I just... I keep on trying to go back and be

the Jason from before and I need
to figure out a way to be a new guy.

And I thought the team was gonna
do that for me, but it hasn't.

And I'm so sorry, Coach,
if I let you down.

It's just something
I have to do.

Let me tell
you something.

Coaches and players, they
learn from each other.

Goes both ways.

You lift up
everyone around you.

That is a powerful
gift to earn.

I hope I didn't
let you down.

No. No.

No, you didn't
let me down, Coach.

This I'll hold on to.

Till you come
and pick it up.

Dad, what are
we doing here?

Dear God, forgive us for this. Forgive us.

All right.
Let's back up.

These young cats
do not believe in protection.

You know they're
crying to me, saying,

"Coach, don't
tell my mother.

"I need to go to the clinic.
" What are you talking about?

You must be
the new Athletic Director.

Funny, you look a lot like
the football coach Eric Taylor.

How you doing? Do you even know my name?

No, I don't.
Do you know what this is?

Rhymes with occer ball.

It's a soccer ball. Okay?

Actually...
But this isn't one.

This here's a rubber carcass. You see that?

A soccer ball is something
with air in it, okay?

How many footballs does
the football team have?

36. Okay?

And not one of them is dead,
man. Not one of them is dead.

What are you gonna
do about this?

What are you gonna... What are
you gonna do about that, man?

You gonna give
me some more?

Oh, my gosh.
Is this new? This is new?

Yeah, we all got them.

Wow. God. It's so beautiful. Look
at this. This is a fine computer.

You know, I would have called
you to have this conversation,

but I don't even have
a freakin' phone. Okay?

You see the disparity here, big guy?

Save it. My name is Bobbie Roberts

and I'm gonna be in here every
freakin' day until my girls

get exactly what the hell they need. Okay?

Thank you.
Thank you.

I hope they're paying
you a ton of money.

I'm gonna kill Buddy.

I am gonna kill him.

Hey!

Hey.

Where is everybody?

Well, let's see.

Gracie is asleep.
Julie's with Lois.

Eric has not gotten home
from work yet. What's that?

What? This?

It's an environmentally
responsible bag.

No, not that. That.

Oh, this?
This is a bottle of vino.

Well, I'm not gonna be able to
drink any 'cause I'm nursing.

Oh, you can.
No, you can...

You can have a little bit just as long as

you drink a lot of water, and you
have to eat foods that are rich in B9,

like asparagus,

and you just gotta wait a
couple of hours before you nurse.

Well, aren't you
clever,

Dr. "I've-Never-Had-A-Baby-
Before-But-I-Seem-To-Know- All-The-Answers"?

Just a little something
called reading. You do it much?

Well, when
I have time. Yeah.

What? Like, Dillon Gazette
and those baby books?

What's your point?

I'm... All I'm saying is just
because you live in Dillon

that doesn't mean
you have to stop thinking.

Huh. Hmm, interesting.

Didn't realize I
had stopped thinking.

Well, I'm not...
I'm just saying, like...

Okay.
You know what?

I don't really need a lecture
by my sister right now.

Oh no...
Thank you.

I'm not... I'm not lecturing you. Oh, really?

Because that's what it sounds
like. You are lecturing me.

And you know what?

Sorry I don't have time
to read 24 hours a day

or to jet off to Brazil

or to go to the damn
Dixie Chicks concert!

'Cause you know what?
I'm cooking and I'm working

and I'm breast-feeding!
That's what I'm doing.

Okay.

And it may have
just occurred to me

that as much as I love my little Gracie girl,

that, you know,
now I've...

I've got another whole 16 years
plus ahead of me of child rearing.

And then she's just gonna turn
into Julie and just be mean to me

and I'm gonna
be in a walker.

Sorry.

No, I'm sorry.

Thanks.

I'm sorry
I said anything.

I'm sure I'm just,
you know,

I'm compensating
for my lonely, pathetic life.

Your life is kind of
lonely and pathetic.

You are such an ass.

I swear.
I should hate you.

You're an ass, too.

Hey, wait. Hey.

Stop before you just
hurt yourself, all right?

Hey...

You know you're
not on the team, right?

I know.

You trying to break your neck by
keeping your head down like that or...

Hey, everybody's got to
start somewhere, homey, right?

Let me ask you
something.

Are you in any way, shape or
form trying to screw Lyla Garrity?

She's my friend, dawg.
All right? Just my friend.

You want a couple pointers or are
you gonna try and break your neck?

Move.

Okay.
You hit with purpose.

You lift him up
and you snap him.

Keep your head up.
You ready? Watch.

Pick him up!
Hit to hurt.

Keep your head up.

That was crap.
That was crap.

Only way out
from here. Let's go.

Push yourself. With purpose. Let's go.

Come on.

That was way better. Love it.

Hey, Rigg! What's up, man? Let's go.

You starting your own team or something?

Now, come on, Williams. He can
hit twice as hard as your ass.

Oh. Okay.
Stick it.

All right.
Let's see about that.

How about running
through some plays?

Hey. You up for that?

Yeah. All right.

Cool. Get a ball.

Why I gotta
get a ball?

'Cause you the QB, fool. You're
the one who wanted to run the play.

Just get a ball.
Set! Wide eight!

Wide eight! Hit!

Oh, yeah!

What just happened,
Williams?

Hey, look.
You got the right hole.

But you gotta
stay low

and push Riggins inside so
I can break free. You got it?

Yeah.

Bottom line, there's no time
to second guess yourself.

Just go.

Set!
Blue eight! Hut!

Sorry, man.
You all right, Riggs?

That's funny.
My bad, man.

Don't apologize, dude.
You all right?

Yeah.

Hey. If you're gonna
knock him on his ass,

don't stop driving. Keep
driving your legs. Keep moving.

Yes, sir.

You wanna come by tomorrow?
Come out and practice with us?

Yes, sir.

All right. You be
at my office at 7:00.

Not 7:01.
7:00 sharp.

We'll fit you up.

All right.

All right then.

Thank you, sir.

Am I showing you
something yet, sir?

Oh, yeah.

Does that mean I'm back on the squad, Coach?

Not even close.

Not even close.

Y'all gentlemen
have a good night.

Let's go again.

Set.
Give me a minute.

Blue eight! You better get into something.

Blue eight! Hut!
