Hey... euh.

It's throwing out there, it's
been well over two weeks...

... do you I get paid?

I'm waiting for some
money to come in, alright.

When?

Seriously, would you back
off for two seconds.

Do you have any clue what I
got on my plate right now Tim?

Seriously man.

I'm trying to... run a garage,
I got a pregnant wife...

... and I haven't slept
for two weeks because...

... because Mindy is reading some
stupid book about what is...

... supposed to happened every two
seconds of your pregnant life...

... and now every time she farts she is
thinking that her water break in...

... she is going onto
contraction so back off.

Hey Billy, would pass
me that violine please?

- Would you shut up?
- You're hanging it.

Shut up.

Not, no.

No that wasn't direct
toward you Ma'am.

Yeah. Where are you? We'll
send a truck as soon as we can.

Yeah.

When you're done with it,
I need the violine.

Get dress up, OK.

Dress up, we got a tow...

- Principal Taylor
- Hey y'all.

What is it going to take?

I'm not sure what kind
of conversation ...

we're having here,
what are you talking about?

Oh I think you know.

Are we talking about Luke?

Yeah, we are talking about Luke,
Tami. Yeah.

Huhu.

So what is going to take like
new books for library...

... new instruments for
the orchestra, or what?

Are y'all coming to me in
the school parking lot...

... and offering me a bride?

You need to be reasonable, you need
to be reasonable about that Tami.

It's not going to do
anything but hurt this kid.

We can' let that happened to him, we
can't let that happened to our team.

We can't let
that happened to the school.

... can't let that happened
to you Tami.

What's going to happened to
you if he's gone down?

I think you're gonna get lynched.

That's so sweet, you're so
sweet. To think about me, ...

... I appreciate that so much. I can
take care of myself, thank you.

OK but think of this, that first window
have to be forfeited because of this.

If that happens we might
not make it back from that.

That means we might not make to
state this year, do you want that?

That boy was unrolletery illegally.

Yes and ironicly he just happens
to be going to a school...

... where your husband
is the football coach.

Just do me a favor,
would you go home...

... and ask your husband
one thing, ask him...

... who put up that mail box?

Because the Dillon Panthers...

... has been using that mailbox
long before I got here...

... and if I want to do
little digging around...

... you know what I think
things could come up.

I think games could be forfeited,

I think rings could be lost.

You got to be kidding me.

Hey Tim Riggins
who used to be a Panther.

Good morning.

Tell me you need a tow.

Yeah, no...

... but I do need a ride to school which
would be awesome because my mom's...

... not here, I don't know what she is
doing, she's MIA for some reason...

... and I had to find my
dog this morning cause a...

... little squirrel got get in
again and I miss the bus...

... and my hair was doing this weird flip
thing that I wasn't really too sure about...

... and that just really rough
morning all together so...

... let get the showing up, come on,
let's get going we're going to be late.

Don't never do this again.

I mean all I did all day
was carring big, heavy,

rusty, dirty peaces of
metal out of the junkyard

estuff

I just can't believe you were naked.

No, I wasn't naked, he was naked.

Whatever, and he never
even asked about my art.

I mean why is he thinking I'm there, is
he thinking I like doing manual labor.

Or maybe he think, you
know, you're not a great artist ...

... cause you go
to community college.

And no offense, I've been...
I mean...

It's fine.

I'm just saying you
need to get him excited.

You need to show him who
you are and your art and...

... just take the bull by the horns.

Hey you know I've been
told that I have pluck.

- Really?
- Yeah.

You know what that means?

Euh Ma'am.

I'm Coach Taylor from high school.

Are you Vince's mother by chance?

Yeah why?

I just want to...
I just want to talk...

I just came by to talk to you he
ain't in a practice in few days...

No, that's his business.

It... it ain't no laws
about missing no practice.

Mah'am.

I'm just trying to help your son.

You got 20 box?

Please.

Lincoln and Victory...

... almost every night.

Hey do you know how
to get to Lobic.

You got to take 6 to one up to 23.

Hey, Dillon East, right?

You're the coach at Dillon East.

You've lost your inner paria.

You know sword, have you
ever heard swing your sword?

You're supposed to swing
your sword like this.

You're swinging your's like this.

I mean you got to
find your inner paria.

A lot of time, thing is
happened for a reason.

We don't know why God
wants it that way...

... but you can't make the best out of
it... until you get back your inner paria.

You might be the luckiest man
alive and not even know it.

Hey babe.

Hey.

It smells good...

- Babe
- Yep...

- Babe
- Yeah.

What?

Did you know that that mail box...

... was out there in front of
the field, that empty field.

Did you know that?

What are you talking about?

I'm talking about Joe McCoy told
me today that that mailbox...

... has been out there since you
were head coach at the Panthers.

Did you know?

Listen, I don't follow...

... what the boosters and the parents
in town do, that's not my job.

You know there are a lot
of different ways that...

... people try to get
kids on the team.

- Hum hum
- What does that mean?

That means you sure were
paying a lot of attention...

... last couple of days when you were
trying to get Luke Cafreti on the team.

And you know now I am on
a really bad position...

... because Joe McCoy is
about to go out and do...

... all kind of researching
and all kind of digging...

- ... and the things like state title...
- which they don't have.

Well Honey, I'm talking
about your state title.

And not just you but the team.

Well you know what honey I
may not even have a team

- Of course you have a team
- No I might not have a team.

I'm surprised your friend Joe
didn't inform you that ...

... my team hasn't showing up for
practice since the forfeit.

I didn't know that,
I'm sorry to hear that.

I'm glad you're sorry,
I'm sorry too.

Why don't you tell me?

Well I tried to get
Landry to get together...

... bring the team up, but
you know what Landry did.

In the middle of the
cafetaria, Landry looks at me...

... and basically says:'Hey Coach,
go to hell'.

Babe I'm sorry to hear
that but I still...

... don't think you
should have lie to me.

- I didn't lie to you
- Well I wish you had told me that you...

Well you should have told
me that you knew that.

Knew what?

I don't know who put
the mailbox there.

You're saying I put the mailbox there
cause everyone else say I did...

... cause I didn't I don't
know who put it there.

Dont raise you voice.

I'm not raising my voice
I don't want to come in...

... my own house to be accused
first thing I sit down.

- Then don't lie to me next time
- I didn' lie to you

- Where are you going?
- I'm going to get some milk.

What the hell man.
