Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 3, Episode 5 - Every Rose Has Its Thorn - full transcript

That is one fine ass cowboy.
Really?

from Dillon,
Texas, Cash Waller.

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

Yes, I'm choosing him!

There's this abandoned
power plant.

They've got copper wire
out there,

so we were gonna go
out there and steal it.

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

Well, what do you want?

I just really would love to
see if I can lend a hand.

J.D. McCoy,
he's got the best arm



any high school
quarterback I've ever seen.

I know what I've got
with Matt Saracen.

If I bench him halfway through his
senior year, it will kill him.

Let's go. Let's go.
Let's go.

Hey, we're running red eagle!
You're over on the strong side.

Now, Coach Taylor's
experiment alternating two quarterbacks

is backfiring in a big way.

His team is dazed and confused.

And that's the
third delay-of-game penalty.

What is that?

Here we go again
with the switcharoo.

McCoy's coming in for Saracen.
Buckle up, folks.

You stay right there.

Hey!



What are you doing?
Get over there.

J. D!
On the side!

Together, come on!

Now, J.D. McCoy
is not faring any better.

Coach Taylor's indecision
in picking a quarterback

is a certified disaster.

McNaulty over the ball.

There's the snap.
It's a fake hand-off.

Swing pass to the right.

Pick him up!

He cuts inside
and picks up a block.

And he is gonna score.
Touchdown.

Oh, hell. Oh, hell.

Panthers are
coming off a loss,

and if they lose this one, they
can kiss this season goodbye.

Let's keep our composure out there.
Do you understand me?

Stay calm. Stay steady.
They're getting confused out there.

We're gonna win this damn thing.
You understand?

Yeah.
Let's go. Come on.

Come on.

Here. Here. Here.

There we go. Get her!

Touchdown. He is in, folks.
Touchdown, Panthers.

Oh, my!
What a pass.

Matt Saracen
has been hanging tough.

But J. D McCoy is
on fuego tonight.

The freshman has really shown
his stuff in this new offense.

McNaulty back to the pass.
Bubble screen to the left.

Cuts inside, and he takes it
to the barn. Touchdown.

This has turned out to be
one wild shoot-out, folks.

Let's go. Bring it in.
Bring it in. Let's go.

Listen up. J.D.
You're in, you understand?

We're going straight up
the field.

We're gonna play pass.
We're gonna take what we can get.

Gentlemen, you understand me?

Clock management.
Let's take it to them. Let's go.

It looks like the torch
has been passed to the freshman.

It was Saracen's turn,
but J.D. McCoy is coming in

with under a minute to go.

McCoy in the shotgun.
There's the snap. He rolls right.

He's got Brooks on the edge.
It's on the 30-yard line.

Let's go. Let's go. Let's go.

Now there's no more
time-outs and the clock is rolling.

They're gonna have to hurry.

There's the snap.
He looks left.

He's got a man over the middle.

A nice touch pass
to Tim Riggins.

He's down inside the 15
to the 10.

Boom! And a big hit.
Tim Riggins goes down inside the five.

That's a first down, folks. And that will stop
the clock, while the refs reset the ball.

Nine, twenty-nine down,
so key that damn defense,

you understand me?
Get in there. Let's go.

Matt Saracen is
going back into the game.

The ball is set.
The clock is winding.

And Coach Taylor
has this McNaulty defense

trying to sub for the Saracen offense.
But there is no time.

We're under 10 seconds, folks.
They're gonna have to hurry.

Blue 8!

And it's too late.
There's the snap.

It's a hand-off to Riggins...

No! Saracen has the ball
on the keeper.

Oh, what a call!
Touchdown!

My grandmother could have
walked that one in.

Panthers win! Panthers win!

Good game, man. Good one.
Yeah, you too.

Let the coronation begin.
There's another king in the castle.

J.D. "Young Gun" McCoy
has arrived

and he is the real deal,
my friends.

Thank you for doing that, honey.
I appreciate that.

What is that mess on your leg?
Were you drawing on yourself with pens or something?

No, it's a tattoo.

Do you guys want tortilla
chips on your salad?

Yes. Like a little
lick-and-stick tattoo?

That seems a little young,
doesn't it, for you?

No, like a real tattoo, the ones the
lick-and-sticks are modeled after.

Where is the...

What are you... What?

You're kidding, aren't you?

It's a tattoo.
Where do you have a tattoo?

On my ankle.
You got a tattoo?

What were you thinking?
Why did you get a tattoo?

Honey?

What? I was walking home from
work and I had my paycheck.

And I've always wanted one,
so I got one.

You got to be kidding me.
That's what you do with your money?

I knew that job was
a terrible idea.

You have permanently
marred your body, honey.

Is that what you're
doing with your money?

Your beautiful body.
Your skin is now ruined.

Do you realize that?
Forever.

What were you thinking?

Tyra said you'd get
all upset about it.

Who... What does Tyra
have to do with anything?

Well, Tyra was there
when I got it.

Oh, well that's just
fascinating.

Really? That's fascinating?
Don't be a smart aleck.

Don't you dare talk to me like that.
It's a tattoo, Mom.

It's this big. You're acting as
though I have a giant, like,

dancing Popeye on my bicep.

Don't be a smart ass.

Hey, don't be a smart ass.
Don't you dare yell at me about this.

It's done. It's over.
It's on my leg. Too late.

Whoa, whoa, whoa!

Hey, you throwing away
my porn again? Yep.

I ain't even finished
with this one yet.

Well, I'm pretty sure I can tell
you how it comes out in the end.

Dude, you do not have to
hide porn from a baby.

Babies are not freaked out
by boobies.

Dude, there's more than boobs in
those magazines, first of all.

What, vaginae?
Babies love vaginae, man.

They just took a
great trip through one.

It's like looking
at a postcard.

How many times
do I have to tell you?

I want you to clean up all this crap
before the baby comes over. Okay?

Baby's here! Baby's here!

There's
the little monkey.

Hey, guys.
Hey.

How's it going?

Someone's wiped out.

Yeah.

Hey, little man. You wake up in a
little bit and we'll play, okay?

Okay. I'll be working an
extra three-hour shift tonight.

I'll be back by 10:00.

Okay.
To pick him up.

All right. Okay.
Okay. Bye, precious.

Look.

You know, Erin, 10:00 is awful
late to be moving Noah. You know.

Maybe you could sleep over.

Or you could just move in.

You know, our names are already next to
each other on the birth certificate.

I figured it'd be easy enough to put
them next to each other on a lease.

Or you could just
pick Noah up at 10:00.

God, I wish it was that easy.

I wish I could think about
long-term things, but...

Well, I'm still trying to get
more hours at the dealership

so you can go back
to part time.

You know, it's just...
I know.

Car sales suck right now.

I'll come up with a way to get
more money, though. I promise.

I know you're working hard.

Thank you.
Okay.

All right.
Don't work too hard.

Okay. Be good.

Bye, Mama.
Goodbye.

See you at 10:00.

Damn it, Missy. No.

I do not understand why you
have not sold this house yet.

It's a steal at 250.
No, don't tell me that.

That's just an excuse.
Listen, I'll even take 220.

Yes, I will. I'll take 220.
Just get the thing sold.

No, I don't want
to hear your excuses, Missy.

Listen. I have been a salesman my whole life.
Don't tell me how to sell.

All right, here's what you do.
You go out and you just tell everyone

that when all the scared rats
are leaving a sinking market,

that's when a real
entrepreneur steps in.

A true visionary.

You say it just like that.
No, I am hemorrhaging money here, Missy.

Hey, hey, hey,
wait a minute. Wait a minute.

Those guys are gonna
come out in a

black 8 pirate, Coach Crowley,

slide that sandbag over
and punch him in the mouth.

He's the number one receiver.
We go double wide,

motion away, he's got to drop and cover.
It's not going to work.

Matt and J.D. are
gonna need two more wide outs

if we stay with spread.
You understand that, don't you?

What about our
power game, Coach?

I mean, none of these guys
can lead block.

We sub in an
out-and-down distance,

install double flex,
it works for both of them.

You want to
install another set?

Another set? That's more
blockage schemes.

More routes, more zone reads
for Matt and J.D.

Good. It plays
to our strengths.

No, our strength
is J.D. McCoy, Coach.

Go on.

All right.
We've beaten McNaulty.

And it was a great strategy to platoon that game.
But we're done with that.

We're past that.

Look, Matt's a tough kid.
He'll be all right.

And he deserves
all of our respect.

And we all feel this, Coach.

Now, you've got to tell him
the truth, Eric.

It's got to be something big, that
people don't have but they need.

Think about it.
Like, Post-it notes.

Yeah. No, you're right.
Just got to focus, you know.

You're right, you're right.

I got nothing.
I got nothing.

You could always flip
Buddy Garrity's house.

What the hell are you talking about?
That's not an invention.

Well, his house is
on the market for 250.

I happen to know,
he'll take 220.

Maybe you throw 30
in there and sell for 350.

I mean, it's flipping houses.
I saw it on TV. It works.

Okay. Well, guess what, genius?
House market sucks right now.

So...
Yeah.

Yeah, well, it's when all the
scared rats are running away

from the sinking market that the
real entrepreneurs come in.

The true visionaries.

Well, I'm good with designing.
You know this.

Billy and I have
some copper wire money.

We could all go in on it,
but...

The only thing is you've gotta
convince that cat. That's all.

Hey, Coach.

J.D.' s gonna start Friday.

Now, you're gonna be QB 2.

Okay.

Listen, I want you
to know a lot...

A lot went into
making this decision.

Yeah, I know.

Oh, my Lord, have mercy!
Coach Eric Taylor, how are you?

Mercy.

What a pleasant surprise...
Hello, Mrs. Saracen.

To see you on my door step.

How are you?
Oh, I'm great.

Have you had supper?

Yes, ma'am. I have had...
Have you?

Yes, ma'am, I have.

I sure would like
to fix you something.

I appreciate that.

Yes, ma'am. I've already...
Thank you very much.

Hi.
Hello. How do you do?

Shelby.
That's my mother.

Oh, it's nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you too.
I heard a lot about you.

Oh, this man walks on water.

Walks on water.

And he's a hero in this house.
Oh, thank you very much.

I'm going to
get you just something little

that maybe you
could take it home.

Oh, well, don't.
All right. I don't mind a bit.

Well...
Don't mind a bit.

All right.

You tell your grandma
"thank you," would you?

I'll see you tomorrow.

It was very nice to meet you.
It's nice to meet you too.

You okay?

Yeah.

Fine.

I'll see you tomorrow, okay?

I'm sorry. I understand you're hurting.
But this... Power ballads?

Really?
How clich? can you be?

Well. Let's go.

What's going on, Tyra?

Nothing.

Nothing's going on?

Not really.

'Cause where I sit,
I see you in your senior year

kind of going off
the deep end a little bit.

And you've been
skipping school.

And Mr. Tracton said you just
completely screwed up a history test.

Well, you win some,
you lose some.

Who's the guy in the truck?

Excuse me?
That man

that's been dropping you off
at school every day?

I think I'm allowed to have
a boyfriend, Mrs. T.

He didn't look like
a boy to me.

And I'll tell you right now,
if that relationship

is anything like what I can imagine it
is, that is a one-way ticket to nowhere.

I don't see how it's any of your
business, to be honest with you.

Well, I feel like it is my business
because I've made an investment in you.

And because I care about you.
And I feel like we've made it this far, together.

And I don't like what I'm seeing.
I don't like it.

So, look. We think we can turn this
thing over in about 30 days time.

And get you a 200% profit
on your investment. Yeah.

Now you ain't gonna
get a return like that

anywhere else that doesn't
involve some crazy-ass risk.

How do I know this isn't
some crazy-ass risk?

That's an excellent question, Billy.
It's good.

And in this neck of the woods, there's a
serious lack of upgraded, upscale housing.

Now, I did some research.
The good houses, they go quick.

I don't know, Jason.

There's a lot at stake here,
you know.

This is my money to start
a new life with Mindy.

There's a lot at stake
here for all of us, Billy.

And that's how I know
that it's going to work.

Because we're all gonna get
together and make it work.

Team work. TIM: It's when all
the scared rats start running away

from the sinking market that the
true entrepreneurs come in, Billy.

True visionaries.

I'm a visionary.
Look at you.

Yes, you are.

I'm in.
You're in?

Really?
Yeah. Let's do this.

So, what's next?
We'll go to the bank tomorrow,

get the details on the loan.
All right.

And... Oh, we'll
probably need a check, though,

from you guys.
You know, for the down payment.

So?
Good.

Oh, this is gonna be great.

This is gonna be great.
All right.

Hey there, beautiful.
What you looking at?

Hey. I just got a C-minus
on my history test.

C-minus? Jeez, my mom would have
made me a cake for a C-minus.

Yeah, well, you were trying to be a cowboy.
I'm trying to get into college.

Yeah.
Little different.

So how did that meeting go
with the school lady, then?

All right, I guess.

She doesn't like you very much.

Yeah, they usually don't.

No. It's not like she thinks
you're bad or anything. She just,

I don't know, thinks you're some
cowboy who just wanders around

from town to town.

Have you met me?

I'd like to think there's
more to you than that.

Yeah.

Well, sometimes I guess it just takes the
right woman to make you more than you are.

Didn't you just take
that stuff this morning?

I did just take it
this morning.

Have you ever been
thrown off a horse?

It ain't like the aching
goes away real quick.

I only take it if I hurt.
And I hurt a lot.

So.

Why would she go
and get a tattoo like that?

I don't know.
Why did she do that?

You know, it's a rose, and a heart, and a...
What does that even mean?

You know, a lot of kids
are getting tattoos,

and it doesn't have to mean anything.
No, honey.

It means something, for sure.

And frankly, it doesn't make me feel
any better knowing Tyra was involved.

I mean, that girl is just off
the deep end this year.

I don't know
what is going on with her.

I think she's becoming a good
old-fashioned bad influence.

And that is a slippery slope.

What do you mean?

You know, parties, boys.

Drugs.

I see it at school every day.

Thank God,
you are here.

Little man giving you trouble?
Yeah.

He's just so fussy tonight.
I mean, I have no idea why.

And I have to get some sleep
or I'm going to pass out

and I... I don't know.
You have a way with him.

Of making him calm.
Take a break. Okay. But,

I got some exciting news
to tell you.

I got some hires in the fire.
Things are looking...

Things are looking up. So...

Don't go anywhere.

Yeah. Mile-long dirt road.
This feels legit, Billy.

We need the cash, okay?
We have to be at the bank in the morning.

Are you kidding me?
Guy Raston?

Just calm down.
Are you kidding me?

You want to deal with this cat?

Look, man, we didn't
have anyone else to go to.

He's hooked us up with a buyer.
Anyone would have been better.

Look at them.
If it ain't the Duke boys.

They always come back.

How you doing, Timmy?

How's football, man?

All right. I'll give you 10.

Yeah, that'll work.
Uh, you want all three?

That's what I just said.
I'll give you 10 for all three.

10 grand for all three spools?

That's all it's worth.
Make it eight.

Give me two for my hook-up.

What the hell's
going on here, Guy?

We talked about this, man.
You know what kind of leg work I had to do

to get these things?
Man, I feel sorry about that.

But do we got a deal or what?

Let's get the hell out of here.
No, hey.

Seriously, listen to me.

We're way in over our
heads right now.

He's robbing us right now.

We robbed these.
We got to be at the bank tomorrow.

I don't care, man.
No.

You guys gonna make a deal or sit around
arguing like a bunch of dumb asses?

What the hell did you call me?

I called you
a dumb ass, Billy.

A stupid, short, white trash,
redneck, dumb ass.

But it ain't all bad.

'Cause, boy, that Mindy gives one
hell of a VIP dance, doesn't she?

Billy?
It's good.

Let's go. Let's go.
It's good, man.

Billy, come on!
Get off him.

Go get in the truck!

Go. Go. Go.

Get down! Get down!

You like that one?

Hey, so I got
some news for you.

Your daddy bought
a house today. Yeah.

But don't get too excited, 'cause
it's not for us to live in.

I'm gonna fix it up.
And then I'm gonna sell it.

And then you and me and your
mommy can live together.

Yeah, I like it too.

I understand that your
friends are late.

I'm sure there's a
reasonable explanation,

but unfortunately we have
to have everyone present.

They will definitely be here. Yeah.
Always late but worth the wait,

as that license plate
always says.

Just a few minutes,
Barb. I promise.

You got a plan?
What are we gonna tell them?

Awesome.
The idiot brigade is here.

It's only 45 minutes late.
Guys, where's your suits?

No, we got a little mess
on our own end.

Well, no thanks to you two, the
bank has approved our loan.

No way.
Get out of here.

We played the whole "crippled
football star is not giving up.' '

Our guy was so emotional,
so believable.

'Cause I am the crippled football
star who's not giving up.

Now where the hell's the money?

'Cause we got to put this money in the
bank by tomorrow. This loan depends on it.

Uh...

We had a little hiccup.

What kind of hiccup?

Well, it's, uh...
Okay, remember when I said...

Remember when I said we have
a lot of copper-wire money?

Well, what I meant to say was we
just have a lot of copper wire.

Like a lot.
See, it's not exactly liquid.

Liquid?
I guess it's the term they use...

All right, you know what?
I'm pretty sure

I don't have to explain to you
exactly what's at stake here, Billy.

And I'm also pretty sure I don't
have to explain to you that

telling somebody something's
liquid when it's not quite liquid

is a pretty dumb-ass
thing to do.

Hey, let's not start
with the name calling.

Otherwise, I'll walk right out of here.
It's not fair.

I mean, I can't punch you.
You're in a wheelchair.

I'll swing back.
Just ask your brother.

You want to take this outside, shorty?
No. Hey.

Ladies, ladies.
What's with everybody

calling me shorty?
Remember where you are, guys.

Okay, you're in public.

Ladies. Let me take a gander at that wire.
I might know a guy.

Hey, Matt.

Everything okay?

Oh, yeah. She just needs a lot of water.
If I don't remember, she gets angry.

We got like a codependent
thing going on.

Well, as long as you're okay.

Actually. I wanted to run
something by you.

I stopped at this
little hair salon in town.

That little place, you know,
on seventh street? And...

Well, anyway they had
a chair open.

And that means I could rent it.

And I guess, you know, if I did rent
it, I'd be living here for a while.

I could help out
till you graduate.

You do whatever you want.

It's premium stuff, man.

That's an understatement.

This is all you got?

All I got?

Yeah, that's all we got.
That's all we got.

How's 20 sound?

Mmm-hmm.
Grand?

Yeah. 20 grand.

Well, I got to confer
with my people first.

Why?

Uh, let's do it.

Yeah, that'll work.
That will work.

Never seen anything
like that, before.

I figured you hadn't.

Yep. Yep.

Can we come and
talk to you for a sec?

Yeah. Sure.

Your mother and I would like to have a
conversation about the tattoo, all right?

Now that everybody's calm.

Mmm-hmm.

We wanna, you know...
What the hell were you thinking?

Well, hon, what we mean is, you know, we just
would like to have a better understanding

of what your
thought process was?

Just what I was saying.
What were you thinking?

It's not a big deal,
everyone has one.

Well, yes, honey,
it is a big deal.

It is a big deal, and the biggest
deal is you never discussed it

with your father
or with me, at all.

Because you guys
would have said no.

You're damn right
we would have said no.

Hon? Hon?

Well, you wonder
why I don't ask you?

Whether we would have said no
or not is not the point.

What's the point?
The point is that this is not like you.

And if there is something
going on in your life

that you feel like you need
to talk about with us,

we want you to be able
to share that with us.

We want to understand
what this is about.

It doesn't mean anything.
It's a tattoo. Well, you know what?

If it doesn't mean anything then let's
just go on and have it removed.

I've looked into a place in San Antonio.
It's very reputable.

And we are gonna go
and get it removed.

Well, you two have fun,
because I'm not going.

It's not your decision to make.

Last I checked...
I'm sorry.

It's on my ankle.

You know what?
Until you're 18 years old,

it's not your ankle.
It's my ankle, okay? It's my ankle.

So we're going to San Antonio on Friday.
And we're getting it removed.

End of conversation.

I sold your house, Buddy.

Oh, yes!

I knew you could do it, Missy.
It's my job.

Just need you to...

You're making me one happy guy.

Perfect.
Mmm-hmm.

Piece of cake.
Yep.

What are these names?
Billy... Mmm-hmm.

And Tim Riggins, and Jason Street...
What's this?

They're the buyers.

Here's to the American dream.

American dream.

That didn't go down well.

You know, I just noticed that
you've got a pink shirt on.

Shut up.

Hello? Hey, Missy.
Hey, is Buddy happy?

Not exactly.
Well, what does he want? More money?

No, he's not going to
sell you the house.

Mr. Garrity was very happy with the
offer till he saw all your names on it.

What did he say?
Guys!

Something in the vein of,

"That house can rot into the ground before I
sell it to those clown car of idiots.' '"

Think it was a pass.

All right, thanks.

Don't shush me!

Hey, Mrs. T.
Hi.

I just wanted to, um...

You've done a lot for me.

You've been there for me and
you've always come through.

Which, I mean, there are very few people
in my life who I can say that about.

It means a lot.
It really does.

Thank you.

But, um, you're wrong
about Cash.

Oh. Mmm-hmm.
I know you think he's a bad guy.

I don't think he's a bad guy...

Well, bad for me, whatever,
but you're wrong.

He's such a good guy.

He really is.

I don't care about Cash.
I just care about you.

So, I have my
priorities straight.

Well, that's what I
want to see.

Thank you.

Hey! What the hell
are you doing?

I do whatever you ask me to.

I helped you win the
State championship.

I got you to three-and-one,
this season.

I work my ass off at practice.

I do everything that you say.

If it's 'cause J.D.
' s better than me, tell me that.

I'm gonna be honest. My job is to field
a team out there that wins games.

Right now, that means
J.D. McCoy, yes.

Okay.

Then I quit.
You're not quitting this team.

Yes, I am.
No, you're not quitting this team.

I'm not gonna let you quit.

I know you. You quit this team,
you're gonna hate yourself.

You wanna be pissed? Fine. You go ahead.
You be pissed. I don't give a damn.

But you are not
quitting this team.

Fine.

Fine, I'll sit on your bench.

I'll come to practice and I'll
do whatever you tell me to do.

But I'm gonna hate it.

And you're gonna hate it.

Good talk, Coach.

It's not you, Jason. It's not about you.
It's about Riggins.

Riggins has got my daughter,
as you well know.

And just between you and me, I'm
not real fired up about it.

I mean, Tim's great
on the football field,

but I really don't relish the idea of him
being the father of my grandchildren.

You know what I mean?

And I can't talk to
Lyla about this.

I love that little girl.
She's all I've got left.

But if I talk to her about
him, she's gonna hate me.

I'm not gonna let those
Riggins buy the house.

It's ridiculous!
Well, think about it this way.

You're not selling
Riggins the house...

I'm not.
You're selling me the house. Me.

And you'd do that, wouldn't you?
You'd sell that house to me.

I can buy your house.

But I can't buy it
without those guys, okay?

But I've got a baby now,
all right?

And I've got a woman
that I love to death

that is keeping me at
arms length

until I can show her that I know how
to make some real money in this world.

And buying your house
is the first step.

I'm not gonna take no
for an answer.

If you ever cared about me
as a person, Mr. Garrity,

if you ever cared about me
as a player,

as the quarterback of the
Dillon Panthers,

then you will sell me
that house.

Look, Mr. Garrity,
do you remember...

Remember when
I was a sophomore?

We had that last regular season
game against Midland that year.

Mmm-hmm. Yeah.

We needed to win that game to
go to the playoffs, remember?

Fourth quarter, we were down by six.
Mmm-hmm.

Two minutes left to go, we
drive right down that field,

we end up at the fourth
and goal.

I stepped back and threw that dart in there.
I was on that quick slant.

Yeah. Hit that receiver,
right square in the numbers.

Yeah. Touchdown, State playoffs.
You remember that?

Yeah.

It was good.

That guy...

That guy is who you're
gonna sell that house to.

You wanna think big, man,
vaulted ceilings.

What are you talking about?
Vaulted ceilings?

You know how much
that's gonna cost?

That's ridiculous.
You wanna get top dollar for this place?

Raise the ceiling.

You gotta get rid of
all this textured wood crap

and raise the ceiling. BILLY: Whoa!
Whoa! You wanna get rid of the wood?

I don't know, man.
I kind of think it looks good.

You would like the wood,
you idiot.

Why you gotta go with the name calling, man?
I'm not calling you an idiot.

We talked about all the wood.
It's crappy wood, Billy. What're you talking about?

Whatever. What do you want,
cottage cheese on the ceiling?

No, I don't want a
cottage cheese ceiling.

Burt Bacharach playing
while we show 'em the house?

I don't know what you're talking about.
Who the hell is Burt Bacharach?

Guys! Guys!
He don't know who Burt...

Why am I here with him?
Jason.

Hey. All right, guys.
Hey.

We gotta keep some of the wood.
And vaulted ceilings, no way in 30 days.

Great ideas, guys.
Let's keep them coming.

Come here.

Do you wanna raise them
in the kitchen?

Well, I'm used to raising roofs.
I'm gonna raise me a ceiling.

That's just stupid.

I bought this house.

What?
I bought this house.

I mean, not for us to live in.

We're gonna fix it up, and we're
gonna turn it over in about 30 days,

make a lot of money, and it's gonna give
us a great nest egg to start our life.

Finally, you know,
some good money.

It's not quite the reaction
I was hoping for.

I'm moving back east,
with my parents.

I have to.

This isn't working.
None of this is working. It's too hard.

I mean, I need to go and
make a different plan...

No, no, this is a
different plan.

This is a new plan.
This is a good plan.

This is gonna make money.
Jason, this is crazy.

This is crazy.

I don't know what else to do.

I have to go home.
I can't... I'm sorry.

You can come visit.
He's your son, too. Anytime.

Erin, you can't just
take Noah and go.

This plan is gonna work.

Hey.

What did she say?
She's excited.

She's really excited.
She's thrilled.

She can't wait to see what
we do with the place. So...

We've got a lot of work to do,
so come on.

Come here.

What are we doing?

Did I ever tell you that I almost
dropped out of high school?

You almost
dropped out of high school?

Yeah.

I know, it's hard to
believe, huh?

Your mama was a little bit of a
wild child, back in the day.

So what happened?

Well, what happened was, your dad happened.
I mean, your dad, you know...

And he had struggles
of his own, too, but,

you know, we were lucky.
We just had each other.

Always managed to pull each
other up by our bootstraps.

But I know how easy
that road is to go down.

So, I guess, when I see, you know, you
getting a tattoo, it starts making me worry.

And you know,
you are just independent

and smart and beautiful.

And you're not going to need any
guy to pull you out of some hole.

But I feel like...

I feel like I need you to
promise me that that's true.

I promise.

I'm not going down that road.

All right, let's go home.

So I can keep the tattoo?

Honey, I guarantee you,
by the time you're 30,

you're gonna be taking that
thing off yourself.

And I'm not gonna
pay for it, then.

2%. We don't drink that.
That's wrong.

Well next time I'll take you...
We don't use grape jelly.

We like strawberry jelly.

I thought
everybody liked grape...

No. We don't like
grape jelly.

All right.
And, did you buy

any of those cookies I like?
Those vanilla creams?

Oh, I forgot.
Huh?

I meant...

I meant to get those.
Well, listen!

Young lady, if you ever do go buy
something that I might wanna eat,

right there, is where
I like to keep them.

She's pretty serious
about her cookies.

Do you like grape jelly?

Nobody likes grape jelly.

Hey, you know, I was wondering
if maybe this Friday,

it would be all right if I
went to one of your games?

But I don't... I don't have to go.
If you'd rather I didn't...

This just might not be
the best week. Okay?

Why?

You know how I play
quarterback, right? Yeah.

I've been starting
since sophomore year.

You know, I thought I was
doing okay. We won State.

Yeah.

But there's this new freshman this
year, and everyone thinks he's

the next Peyton Manning
or something, so...

I got replaced.

Oh, Matt, I'm sorry.

Yeah.

You don't deserve that.

I didn't really deserve
the job in the first place.

The only reason I was
starting was 'cause,

the quarterback, Jason Street,

he got paralyzed in the
middle of a game.

Oh, my God!

Yeah, that was pretty horrible.

You know, they needed me
and I stepped up.

I worked my ass off.
I did everything I could, you know, but...

I guess, it just wasn't
really enough.

Well, it sounds like
you did a great job.

Thanks.

Did you ever think about
maybe just taking a break?

You can't quit the team.

What would they do?
Shoot you?

Probably.

We do live in Texas.

You want a cookie?

Nice grab!

Nice job, J.D.
