Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 3, Episode 4 - Hello, Goodbye - full transcript

Coach Taylor asks himself whether he should shake things up when it comes to his quarterback controversy, while his wife asks whether she is able to shake things up because Buddy is ...

It's me, Matt, your son.

That is not my quarterback, you're my quarterback.
You understand that?

We had a meeting, the funds are frozen.
Who had a meeting?

All the people that I've been out trying
to get money from for the JumboTron.

I'm sorry it happened
this way, Tami. Mmm-hmm.

People have warned me about
getting into this with you.

I tell them that
you're a good guy.

You are, right?
Yeah.

What's up, Coach?
Two weeks' time.

You got a walk-on
at Texas A&M.

I'll make you proud.



At this time we ask that you stand
and remove cover for our national anthem.

Ladies and gentlemen, the time
has come for the Clark County...

But before we get started,

before we introduce
our young kids to the arena...

That's an angry horse,
right there.

Who wanted the cotton candy?

I'll have some.
I'll have some.

You want it?
Aren't you gonna have any?

No, I'm not having any.

Why?
I was going to get y'all some.

I'm having my wisdom teeth
taken out tomorrow.

I'm not trying to gum up...
Something funny?

No. I'm having a major
surgery and you're laughing.

You're just gonna
laugh in my face.



They give you laughing gas.

I don't think laughing gas
is a laughing matter.

I'm sorry. It's...

How about I come over afterwards
and nurse you back to health?

We'll watch a movie
or something.

Can you guys focus for two seconds?
Cash is up next.

All he needs is an 80 to win.

Come on, Cash!
Let's go, man!

A score over 80
will be first place

for Dillon, Texas, man.

Holding on for a full
eight seconds. He's there!

Ooh!
That is one fine-ass cowboy.

Really?
I hadn't noticed.

82.82
for Cash Waller.

The winner of our rodeo, your
hometown cowboy from Dillon, Texas.

Cash Waller!

Come on. Drive the feet.
Drive the feet.

Damn it, drive your legs!
I'm driving them.

No, you're not driving your legs!
Hut!

Go! Drive! Drive!

There you go.
Get something to drink.

They change the walk-on date?

That's right.
You got an extra 24 hours.

Why'd they change it?
I guess they're busy.

Mitch thinks you got a better chance
with Helling on Sunday, anyway.

Whoa, whoa. Who's Mitch?

What's that?
Who's Mitch, anyway?

Mitch Stallman.
He's the one who set everything up.

Is he pretty tight
with Coach Helling?

Yeah, he is.

So, who's he? Offensive coordinator?
Running back coach?

I tell you what.
Why don't you worry a little bit less

about who Mitch Stallman is,

and a little bit more about
yourself on Sunday. How's that?

Yes, sir.
Thank you.

Hut! Drive,
damn it. Come on!

So $10,000 for riding
a horse, huh?

Yeah, well, he wasn't that into it,
but my landlord's gonna be happy.

Tyra Collette, man.

Billy never mentioned that Mindy's
little sister turned into a goddess.

That's, um...

So you gonna be in town for a
while or you just stopping by?

Yeah, actually, I am.

So what happened with that guy
who was with y'all?

Landry?

Oh, he's all nervous.
He's getting his wisdom teeth pulled tomorrow.

Oh, I hate that.

Yeah.

So is he your boyfriend?
'Cause, you know, I respect that if he is.

No, no. God, no.

We're just friends.

Oh, just friends, huh?
Yeah.

That's all.

You wanna dance?
You wanna dance? Okay.

Hey, honey.
I'm sure getting hungry.

Sorry, Grandma.
Your oatmeal is almost ready.

Ooh, it's Tuesday.
I want that milk toast on Tuesday.

No, it's Thursday,
and you get the oatmeal.

Well, I just don't
want oatmeal today.

Please, look, it's cinnamon and apple.
You like it. Come on.

Landry can't give me a ride,
so I gotta catch the bus.

Who is that J.D. McCoy
they're showing on the TV?

J.D. McCoy,
waiting in the wings.

He's nobody.

It's a bye week, so they're just trying
to find something to talk about.

Yeah, they don't
do that on you.

Be good.

I'm not gonna eat that.

So you got it, Bill?
Looking good, right here. That'll be good.

Hey, y'all.

Ah, this is the principal.

Hey, Buddy.

Hey. You mind me asking
what y'all are doing?

Nothing. Well, just a little preliminary
survey for the new scoreboard.

On whose authority?

Uh... Well, mine, I guess.

That's funny. You know you don't
have that kind of authority, Buddy.

I don't?
No. You sure don't.

We have a meeting this week with the
board to discuss this JumboTron.

Tami, I know
we have a board meeting,

but I have an obligation
to the boosters to be ready

just in case our side wins.
No, no, no, no.

No, no, I know what
you are trying to do.

You are trying to bully
this thing through.

And it's not gonna happen.

You know what?
I'm gonna go in front of that board

and I'm gonna make sure Superintendent
Dunley hears what I'm saying.

Well, Paul wants to hear what you have to say.
He's very interested.

He told me that this weekend
at the country club.

You played golf with
Paul Dunley this weekend?

I play with him all the time.
I've known him forever.

He buys all his cars from me.

Put it on your cheek.
Why is it so bright?

It's outside.
It's daytime.

Let me know if you
feel like you're gonna fall.

Step! You okay?

You just saved my life.

I'm so glad you came to pick me up in the
minivan, because I love this minivan.

Yeah.
It's a sign of comfort for me.

I'm so glad.

Hello?

Hello.

Are you done?
How did it go?

Oh, it went great.

They were playing Lionel Ritchie's Lady.
And I love that song.

And listen.
You listening? Mmm-hmm.

I think me, you and Repo Man and a
bunch of Cherry Garcia, at my house...

I think that sounds like a fantastic idea.
That's what that sounds like.

I just wanted to say that you're the
best girlfriend that a guy could want.

Landry?

I know that you're not my girlfriend
per se, but I love you anyway.

And my mom is
taking my phone away.

Hey, Tyra. Landry's gotta go.
We'll see you this evening, okay?

Bye-bye.

What? Why would you do that?

You will thank me later.

We got a bye week.
We're gonna start working on spread offense.

McNulty's got a hell
of a defense this year.

They're gonna be
sitting on the I

and they're gonna be pounding
Saracen all night long.

I can guaran-damn-tee you,
gentlemen.

We are not gonna repeat
the loss we had last week.

You wanna build it around McCoy.
Didn't say that.

Hey, Crowley, how about Coach asked
us to work on a spread offense,

we work on a spread offense and
we don't ask any questions?

McGILL: We done here,
Coach?

Yeah, Mac. We're done.

Meet between 2:00 and 3:00 in the bullpen,
start hammering out the details.

All right, y'all heard the man.
Y'all get back to work.

You need something?

So we going with McCoy, here, Eric?
Is that what we're doing?

I don't know, Mac.

All right.
I'll talk to you later.

He just disappeared out of
the middle of nowhere, man.

Is she waving at me?
No, she's waving at me. Shut up.

Who is that, man?

Hey. Hey, I was
hoping that was you.

What are you doing?

Oh, nothing. I was driving back
from San Antonio on a work thing.

Is it all right if I stop here?

I don't wanna block anybody.

You're actually
not supposed to.

Okay, well...

Hey, where are you going?
Can I give you a ride home or something?

All right. Yeah, fine.

I'm gonna get a ride.

You sure, man?

All right.
All right.

It's just over there.

Yeah, I remember.

Wow, you got your
own sign. That's kind of cool.

Everybody gets one,
so it's not really a big deal.

Thanks for the ride.

You're welcome.

So I guess I'll see you.

Yeah, okay.

Thank you.

You're welcome.

Hey, Matt! Wait a second.

You know, it seems like you got
a lot on your plate, and...

I guess I was
just wondering if...

I don't know, if there's anything
I could do to help out or...

No. We're good.

Okay. Good, good.

'Cause I was just thinking
that while I'm in town...

How long are you in town for?

Not long-term or anything.
I just...

I just would really love
to help out, that's all.

Okay, look, um...

I'm supposed to take Grandma to an orthopedist
appointment tomorrow afternoon, but...

Oh.

I mean, I got this
really big test the next day.

Yeah. That'd be perfect.

Yeah, I'll take her
to the doctor tomorrow.

At 4:00?

4:00. See you then.

Hey, how's it going?

Let's go. Let's go
have your snack. Grandma.

Come on. Just...

Here we go.

That's disgusting. I don't know.
Here's what you do.

You break it at the joint,
you slide your thumb under it,

and then you just...

Oh, God.

All right.
That's how you do it.

And if you're really cool, here's
what you do with the head.

Yeah, do it, do it.

See, that's just wrong.

Yeah, it's not that good.

See, he's got a lot
of useless skills like that.

You know he speaks French?

I mean, I'm telling you, there's nothing
weirder than seeing some drunk-ass

cowboy speaking French.
Drunk-ass? Come on.

Where did you learn
how to speak French?

Picked it up in Louisiana.

When did you live in Louisiana?

Grew up there and then my family moved
to Dillon when I was in high school,

where I met this
fine, upstanding citizen.

Oh, yeah.
The rest is history.

Seriously, you should've seen this
kid pitch in high school, though.

It was ridiculous.
He had a canon for an arm.

Could have gotten a scholarship to
any school you wanted to go to.

Baseball is too slow
and boring.

Right now, I like to ride
broncs in the rodeo.

Yee-haw.

Yeah, there he is,
Mitch Stallman.

He's in charge of group sales.

I'm gonna work at
Alamo Freeze till I die.

You just gotta trust Coach, Smash.
I mean, he knows what he's doing, so...

Hey, Smash? Matt?

I'm really glad I could provide
you with beverages and Wi-Fi

and all that you can possibly want, but
Tyra's gonna be over here pretty soon.

I thought she broke up
with you a long time ago.

Yeah, she did.

Your facts aren't
quite correct, Smash.

Is that right?

See, Tyra is a complicated woman and
it's a very complicated situation.

Let's get out of here, man.
I'd be worried if she wasn't doing this.

It's getting sad and weird in here,
and I need to keep my mood up.

I heard every bit
of what you just said, man.

Later, Lando.

Hey, if she doesn't show,
you give me a call, okay?

She'll show up, Matt.

We are not going to
San Antonio on our honeymoon.

Why not?
Because you're taking me to Hawaii.

How the hell am I
gonna afford Hawaii?

I don't know.

I mean, we have to
win the lottery.

What's that?

Uh, it's just a little bit
of cowboy candy.

I busted my shoulder
in Mineola last week.

Oh, my God, that's so weird.

Do you remember when I busted my
shoulder last week in Mineola?

No. Nice try, though.

Hey, you wanna get out of
here, leave these guys alone?

Sure.

Yeah? Let's go.
Yeah. Okay.

Well, Billy,
I'll see you later, buddy.

Bye, y'all.

Have a fun time.

What?

What's wrong?

Um...

I'm gonna have to
take a pass on tonight.

My friend Landry, he had his wisdom
teeth pulled today and I told him

I'd go over there and help.

So... Yeah, well, I got a
pretty good idea about that.

What's that?

Okay.

Let's go.
All right.

And then, he's just
going on about how,

"Oh, yeah, I talked all
about it with Paul Dunley,

"I just played golf with him
last weekend.' ' Yeah?"

I mean, how am I supposed to compete with that?
You know what I mean?

I don't play golf.
So they...

You should learn,
it's fun if you bring beer!

I hate golf.
Could we slow down just a little bit?

Yeah, sorry. You know this whole
thing is just a boys' club,

and you know...

Honey, you should've
known that!

Okay, can I tell you something?
Can I tell you something?

And don't be mad at me, 'cause
I didn't invent the world,

but nobody likes
an angry woman.

I am not angry, I am not angry.
That is the thing.

I have dealt with this with such
dignity and they've just been riding

roughshod all over me.

You're angry underneath,
you see?

And that, honey, is just
a waste of your time.

So, look, you gotta make a plan here.
Gotta plan your move.

Yeah. So you don't play golf.
You eat, don't you?

I do.
Okay, here's what you do.

You find out where this guy,
Dunley, has his coffee

and you go there
and you chat him up.

That's a good idea,
kind of stalk him.

And, honey,
wear your hair down.

Wear it down.
Okay.

Hey.

Hey.

I meant to call you.
I am so sorry.

Well, what happened?

I had to be with my mom last night.
She got some bad news.

I'm sorry, I didn't...
Is she okay?

Yeah, it wasn't actually her,
it was my aunt.

Some medical stuff.
It looks like she's gonna be okay, though.

Sorry,
I actually have to get going.

I have to read the entire book of
Julius Caesar in 45 minutes so...

Technically, it's a play.

I'm sorry, Lan.

I'll see you later?

All right, gentlemen,
let's go now, it's Friday.

We got a long weekend
ahead of us.

I'm gonna change it up a little
bit, here's what we're gonna do.

We're gonna rotate snaps
between Saracen and J.D.

Go seven on seven.
Coaches, get them together. Let's go.

I wanna hear some hustle out here today.
Let's hear it right now. Let's go!

Let's see it again, gentlemen.
Hut!

It's not that big
of a deal.

Well, I don't understand it.

You always take me
to my doctor's appointments.

I know, but today is a
little bit different, okay?

Well, I don't like different,

and I don't like her.
And I'm going back in the house.

No, you're not.
Now, let me go!

Please, I've had
a really rough day.

I've got a lot of studying to do and
it's gonna help me out so much if...

If you'd just go with her
to the doctor.

Please.

This is a bad idea...
Don't worry, we'll be fine.

So Katie McCoy thinks that I
should track down Paul Dunley,

like, find him where
he eats or something.

You know, like,
stalk him kind of thing.

But, I don't know, that's not my style.
It feels pushy to me.

But maybe that's
what I need to be doing,

because obviously that's what
everybody else is doing, you know?

It's just so frustrating.

Honey, where are we going?
Honey, what are we doing?

What is going on?

I need a drink.

We got a bottle of wine
in the fridge.

I need
a Scotch-flavored drink.

Let me call Julie.

There is no doubt
that J.D. McCoy,

he wins out when it comes to
physical skills, I understand that.

Hell, he's got the best arm of any high
school quarterback I've ever seen.

That includes Jason Street.

That's saying something,
right there.

But then again, Matt...

Well, Matt's got the experience, he's
got three seasons under his belt,

the team knows
how to play with Matt,

I know what I've got
with Matt Saracen.

That's a hard decision to have.

After everything that kid's
been through,

if I bench him

halfway through
his senior year,

it'd kill him.

But, honey, I mean, this is the stuff
that happens, this is football.

Yes, it is.
And...

It just seems to me you don't
have to have it set in stone.

You could take it one game
at a time, if you want to.

Honey, I don't think you understand.
If I start J.D. McCoy,

the significance of that...
I think I do.

The kid is good,
you gotta understand that.

But he's also a 15-year-old kid
with a freak show of a father.

If I put him out there
on the field,

I don't know if he's gonna
be able to handle it.

The fact of the matter is, it's my
responsibility to that kid to make sure

that he's not pushed too fast
and that he's prepared.

What the hell is so funny?
Honey, oh.

What are you laughing at?

This is what I love about you.

What? That I can't make a
decision to save my damn life?

No, that you're making
a decision with...

With such a conscience and...

What other coach would ever do that?
No less, agonize over it like that.

And, you know, I think it's
'cause you're a teacher first,

and I know
you're gonna say it's corny,

but you are a molder of men.

And I find that admirable.

And I find that sexy.

Let me tell you what, I'll have to
ruminate on that a little bit longer

since you find it so damn sexy.

Okay.

Just go
through the motion.

There you go.

There it is.
Nice and slow.

Watch your foot placement.
Give me another good one.

What do you know, gentlemen?
Hey, Coach.

Hey, Wade.
Good of you to stop by.

Texas quick-fire.
H is in motion, what does X do?

Watch my strong side.
Right.

Uh...

I'm looking corner post left.
What's the read?

Free safety.
What's the life color in the audibles?

Depends. Last week it was blue.
This week, it's red.

You been paying attention
or something?

Yes, sir.

Tell me something
about yourself.

I set goals
and I achieve them, sir.

This isn't a job interview.

I'm asking you, what do you do
when you're not playing football?

Tell me something
about yourself.

I play Madden on my Xbox

or go swimming. Usually, I'm
just practicing or working out.

You know you need to
bulk up some, don't you?

Eat some chicken fried steak
or something.

I'm not allowed to have fried food.
My dad says it's bad for me.

He does, huh?

I'm gonna watch you
throw a few.

Nice and slow.

There you go.

Good job.

Sit anywhere.
Thank you.

Can I get you
something to drink?

I'd love a coffee, thank you.
Okay, great.

Hi, Paul. How you doing?

Principal Taylor!
Nice to see you.

You as well.

Gosh, I don't think I've seen you
since our interview this summer, huh?

I guess it was.
Yeah, that's right.

That's right.
Good, good, good.

Actually, I was just finishing up here.
I have a meeting I need to get to.

I'm looking forward
to our meeting this week.

So am I.
Yeah.

You know, actually, now that I'm running
into you, there are a couple of things

I would just love to
go over with you

in a real casual context.

Like I said,
I have a meeting, Tami.

I'll make it real brief.
I just wanna make sure you had all the information

in terms of what this
JumboTron money could get us.

It could actually get us two,
maybe three of the teachers

that we've lost
since the lay-off.

Principal Taylor, this really isn't
the proper time. Right, right.

But I know that you've been talking
about it to Garrity on the golf course

and things like that.

And so I just wanna make sure that
it's gonna be a fair conversation.

There's no reason
to get angry about this, Tami.

No, I'm not angry. I'm just dealing
with a school that's understaffed.

When I think about it
that way, it makes me angry.

I mean, I'm not angry now,
but it's angering.

Look, Tami, you know,

I want more teachers, too.
And more supplies.

But those people gave their
money for a JumboTron.

Look, I'll see you next week.
I'm real interested to hear what you have to say.

Okay, bye-bye now.
Okay.

It's not a big deal.

You haven't seen your mom
since you were a little kid.

I think that qualifies
as a big deal.

How did you feel
when you saw her?

I don't know, man.
It was...

It was weird.

Are y'all gonna see
each other again?

Why are you so obsessed with my mother?
How's your mother? Is your mother doing fine?

Hi, it's nice to see you.

Hi.

So, are you ready
for Hadley's midterm?

No. Someone won't
let me study.

I know. My mom is kind
of really obsessed about it.

She's determined that
if I don't pass it,

then my entire future
is, like, corroded.

So do you maybe wanna...

Hi, Landry. Um...

Cash, this is Landry.

Yeah, Landry. I'm Cash.

Yeah, I know who you are.

Um...

We're gonna have a little
conversation, first, okay?

You all right?
She's fine.

Yeah, it'll be, like, two minutes.
Thank you.

I'm really starting
to think that by "aunt,"

you actually meant
Cash the rodeo guy.

Is that... I'm starting to kind
of piece all this together, Tyra.

Landry, I'm sorry I lied to you.
You did lie to me.

You lied right to my face.

I believed you about your aunt.
I felt bad for you.

I didn't wanna hurt you.

God, I have been really, really stupid
for a really, really long time.

We broke up, like,
two months ago.

Tell me what's changed
since we broke up?

You still...
You still hold my hand.

I held your hand at Cloverfield.
It was a scary movie.

You say that
I'm your best friend.

Maybe I should've been
clearer from the beginning.

We're not together.

If you want to choose
a guy that rides horses...

Yes, he rides horses!
...and he drives a truck...

And he drives a truck!

And wears a big,
stupid cowboy hat,

then you just tell it
to my face!

Really?
Yes, I'm choosing him!

All right.
Well, thank you very much.

What are you doing over there?

I'm doing problem number two.

I think.

Hey, surprise!

What are you doing?

Well, I was at H-E-B and I saw a few
things I thought you might like.

Vanilla creams, right?

I'll be in my bedroom.

Here. Thanks.

Grandma?

This... This is Julie.

Hi, Julie, I'm Shelby,
Matt's...

My mom.

Hi, I'm Julie.
It's really nice to meet you.

It's nice to meet you, Julie.

I found a few of Matt's
baby pictures and I...

I thought, maybe Lorraine
might like to see them.

That's really cool.
Can I see them?

Oh, yeah.
You can't do this.

Do what?
You can't come in here

with groceries and baby pictures
and act like everything is normal.

I know I can't just...
I don't need your help, okay?

I needed it 10 years ago, when you left.
And five years ago.

But I don't need it anymore.
I figured it out.

So...

Thank you for taking
my grandmother to the doctor.

You wanted to help
and you helped, now...

Please, go home.

Sweetheart, I didn't mean to...

Don't call me that.

I'm an idiot.
Honey, no.

I should never have
picked this fight.

Yes, babe.
You should have.

Oh, honey, you don't even
mean that, I don't think.

I think you thought it was
a bad idea the whole time.

That's not true.
I never said that.

That's not what I thought.

I think it's obvious that you're
right and they're wrong. Period.

Really? You're damn right.
You think we need a JumboTron?

We don't need a JumboTron.

Of course we don't
need a JumboTron.

We need more teachers.
Of course we do.

You're right.
They're wrong.

Mmm-hmm.

It doesn't matter, though,
'cause I'm gonna lose tomorrow.

Okay, yeah.

They're gonna get the JumboTron.
In that sense, you lose tomorrow.

But you stood up
for what you believed in.

In that sense,
you win tomorrow.

Hey.

You can at least make them
feel a little guilty

about that big old
stupid JumboTron.

Thank you, honey.

Look, Grandma...

I'm sorry that I had her drive
you to the doctor the other day.

Oh, honey. It seemed like a
good idea at the time, and...

It turned out not to be.

So I'm sorry.

Well, now...

This doesn't mean I forgive her for what
she did and I still don't like her,

but your daddy, he's...

He's very difficult.
We know that.

And, you know, maybe...

Shoot.

Maybe I could've helped her out

a little bit more than I did.

What do you mean?

Oh, I just mean what I said.
And that's it.

Let's not have a
big old soap opera about it.

Let's go watch some TV.

All right.

Got your mouthpiece and cleats?

Yeah.

You gotta remember there's
gonna be a different cadence.

Gotta listen to the snap count.
I got it, Coach!

Pay attention
to the snap count.

Just saying
you just gotta listen.

So Mitch Stallman,

he's a front-office guy?

Yes, he is.

Hi.
Hi.

I'm glad you called me.

How did you find me?

There's only two motels
in town, so...

Get you something?

Can I just get some water, please?
Thank you.

Thanks.

Look, I know my dad is a jerk.

I mean, I've lived with him,

I know how he yells
and throws stuff.

I guess that's why you left.

I'm not gonna say anything bad
about your dad, Matthew.

I mean, I was 17
when I got pregnant.

I had only known him
a couple months.

I was just a kid.

But I will never...

Never ever forgive myself
for leaving you.

And God knows I don't expect
you to forgive me, either.

Well, what do you want?

I mean...

Why are you here?

When you showed up at my door
with that paper from that lawyer,

and I found out
that your dad's in Iraq

and you're taking care of
Lorraine all by yourself, I...

I just thought...

You're all alone in this.

It's too much.

I just felt like a deep...

I just felt bad.

And I'm not looking for you
to forgive me,

I'm not looking for you
to call me Mom,

but I just really would love
to stick around for a while,

a few weeks or so,

just to see
if I can lend a hand.

All right.

Great.

Thank you.

That's really great.

Stand up.

We've been here an hour.
How much longer are we gonna have to wait?

Hey.

Mitch, how you doing?
Doing great, Coach. How are you?

Good, good.
Good to see you.

Okay. So everything's good.
Good.

I talked to Coach Helling,

but the deal is we're
gonna have to reschedule.

You gotta be kidding me.

I am sorry, fellows, but...

This whole Thursday night game's
got the schedule all screwed up.

But he said we can do it next
weekend, if you guys are available.

Next weekend?

Yes, sir.

Is that gonna work for you?

Follow me.

Hey, Vince!

What the hell are you doing?

Coach, I know you got practice,

and I respect that.
But I have got to tell you something.

This kid right here
can flat-out play.

He's fast, he's tough as hell,

and he can read the field better
than any player you got out here.

I guarantee you, and let me
tell you something else.

He's got more heart and guts
than any kid I've ever coached.

You know what
I'm talking about.

You just ask yourself whether you wanna
be the one who passed up on the chance.

Take a look at Brian Williams,
'cause I'm telling you what,

we drove a hell of a long way
to get down here,

and I don't know
when we're gonna get back.

Let me ask you something,
Coach.

If someone pulled a stunt like
this while you were over at TMU,

what do you think Coach
Boyd would have done, huh?

Well, he would have said,
"There's a guy with balls

"and the courage
of his convictions.' '"

Then he would have
looked me in the eye and said,

"Get the hell off my field.' '"

You won't be disappointed.

First unit, take a knee.

You listen to me.

You listen to me closer than
you've ever listened to me before.

You remember that Rutledge
game, fourth quarter?

You came into that game,
you took over that game.

Play by play,
you owned that game.

I watched you that day,
and I said to myself,

"That kid is gonna
go all the way.' '"

Right now, right here,

God has placed you to do
what you do best.

Go all the way.

Ten, nine, hut!

Which knee did he bust up?
I couldn't tell.

Exactly.

What do you think, Coach?

I wouldn't go busting
out the bubbly just yet.

We'll call you.

McGILL: You're good with this?

You ready to
install this thing?

McGILL: We're ready, Coach.

Send them in.

Hey.

Get in here.

All right,
let's go, fellows.

We're gonna shake things up
on Friday night.

Matt, you're gonna start.

You're also gonna play,
we're gonna rotate series.

You're getting equal time
out there. Understood?

Yeah.

This is my decision.

I'm making this decision, 'cause I
think it's gonna help us win the game.

Matt, when you're out there, we're
gonna run the I, J.D. the spread.

Is that understood?

Yeah.

It's unorthodox, the way we
like things around here.

But it's not gonna work
if McNulty knows about it.

So y'all are gonna have to ride herd
over the team. Is that understood?

Yes, sir.

It's gonna be a long, hard week of practice.
You bring your A games.

See you out there.

First, we want to thank the boosters,
the wives and all their supporters

for all their time and efforts.

And I would now like to bring
up Principal Tami Taylor

for our final introduction.

Mrs. Taylor.

Hi, y'all.
Thank you.

Well, Dillon Panthers fans,
I got two words for you.

JumboTron.

Of course, I know
that's really only one word,

but I wanted to quote our friend
Buddy Garrity, over there.

It's because of him that we
have all this excitement today.

I would also like to
thank Buddy Garrity

for his generous offer
to host the PTA's

winter silent auction
at Garrity Motors.

So y'all keep your
eyes out for that!

Hello?

Yes, sir, this is Brian.

Uh-huh.

Uh-huh. Yes, sir.

Tomorrow morning?
Yeah, I'll be there.

It's my new shoulder pads.
Gonna be ready in the morning.

Lord, you know
what I thought that was.

I've been holding my breath.

No, I'm just playing.

I got in.

What did you just say, Brian?

I'm going to college, Mom.

Brian, baby.

Oh, my God!

Oh, my God.

He got in!
Your brother's going to college!

Coach Helling called.

I'm in.

Is that right?

He wants me to practice
in the morning.

I'm leaving tonight,
the guys are driving me.

I just figured I'd stop by,
before I left.

Got your playbook?

It's in the car.

Remember what I told you about those
dorm rooms down there, right?

The lake dorm is nothing but trouble.
Yes, sir.

You better not be
skipping any classes.

Better keep your grades up.
I'm gonna be keeping an eye on it.

I'm gonna be keeping an eye on you.
Coach, just hold on.

I wanted to stop by
and say thank you.

You know, for everything.

I couldn't have done
any of this without you.

And that's for real.

Hit the bend, baby.
Hit the bend, huh? You got it.

I want some OU tickets, 50-yard
line and some parking passes.

You got it!
One more stop to make, Williams.

Oh, no beer runs, Rigg.
I'm way ahead of you.

What?

Hey, y'all,
first 5 yards.

Don't forget!

All right. Ready?

All right, shove.
Hey, shove, shotgun!

I don't want you cheating.

Set, hike.

One Mississippi, two Mississippi,
three Mississippi, game over!

All right!

Where you at, baby?

Where you at?
