Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 5, Episode 2 - On the Outside Looking In - full transcript

Julie starts her college classes and meets an interesting teaching assistant. Tammy Taylor has trouble fitting in with the East Dillon teaching staff. Luke Cafferty's tackle from the last game is questioned. Coach Taylor finds that he's now on the outside and set a new goal. Jess and Vince hit a bump in their relationship.

Our new guidance counselor,
Tami Taylor.

TAMI: Forty-six absences
last year.

These kids are just
being forgotten.

I want this job
real bad.

I think it would be
really good for me

to be around somebody
like you right now.

ANNOUNCER: Oh, my!

Luke Cafferty just laid him
out with a tremendous hit.

TAMI: You are going to college.
That's a big deal.

Bye, guys.

My mom's out of town.



I've been staying with
my dad and my stepmom,

and I just...
I can't do it anymore.

I need a place to stay.

ANNOUNCER:
Cafferty going in!

Oh, Lions win!
Lions win!

Oh, the humanity!

SAMMY ON RADIO:
No one can deny

that the Whataburger Classic
was an eye-opener,

and taking down
a number eight team,

the Lions showed something
that the world better

sit up and pay
attention to.

Now with the rankings
coming out this week,

it looks like a lot of
things are about to change

for a little school
called East Dillon.



Dallas Star.
Dallas Star, man.

Dallas Star. All right, it
says, "The East Dillon Lions

"shocked the world."

I mean, that's awesome.
"Shocked the world."

You think
we're gonna get ranked?

Oh, we got to get ranked.
Are you kidding me?

BILLY: We beat one of
the top teams in the state.

STAN: Coach. Coach.

We're totally
gonna get ranked, right?

Oh, oh, Crowley,
look, man.

There's a picture of you
in here, too.

And I got a quote.

"East Dillon Lions are
hungry to feed on you.

"You can run,
but you cannot hide."

You chalk the field yet?

(ALL CHEERING)

DALLAS: Are y'all ready?
Let's get this party started!

Who's going to be
the first 2010 rally girl?

Come on!

All right,
step into the Lions' den.

Come on, let's see who it's going to be.
Who's it going to be?

Come on!

All right, all right,
let's see.

Let's see
who it's going to be!

Number 35! All right,
come on, right in the front.

All right,
who's going to be the next up.

Come on! Come on, carrot top!
Reach in there!

Let's see who it's gonna be!

Oh! Vince Howard!

Quarterback! Quarterback!
Come on! Come on!

(LAUGHS)

I hope it's all right, but my
girlfriend is right over there.

And I can't give you the jersey.
I'm sorry, all right?

Oh! Come on, Vince!

I think this is
the way it goes.

All right, let's go! Let's go!
Come on! (CHATTERING EXCITEDLY)

Who's next?
Come on!

Oh, yeah!

Come on.

Let's see who's
going to get her.

Wide receiver? Tight end?

Special teams?

Oh, yeah! Oh, yeah!
She's mine!

Far out, she's mine!

Come on! She's mine! All right!

Step into the Lions' den.
Who's next? Who's next?

Hey.

Are you Epyck?

Yeah.

You know there's no smoking
on school property, right?

Everybody in Texas smokes.

Babies smoke in this state.

Well, even babies can't
smoke on school property.

You need to be in class
right now.

I didn't eat yet.
Oh.

Can't think
without eating.

Well, you need to eat
before you come to class.

You also need to come

to your scheduled
guidance counselor meetings.

Mom said
I didn't have to.

Well, you do.

My name's Tami Taylor.

I'm the new guidance
counselor this year.

And we're gonna be
working on your grades,

and making sure
you go to class,

and making sure you're not
smoking on school property.

Okay.

Class is this way, Epyck.

Hey, number five, come here!

What's up?

Sit down.
What day is it today?

Tuesday?

September 1st.

It's the first day of the NCAA
contact period for junior athletes.

Cool.

Georgia,
University of Texas,

Alabama, SC.
Those are yours.

Those are for me?

Well, they're not for me.

They're letters of intent.

Letters from universities
that have interest in you.

Don't open them now.

No?

Take them home
and open them up.

Oh, okay.
Go on. Take all this stuff.

Get it off my desk.
You're cluttering it up.

All right.

Hey.

That's pretty cool, huh?

Yeah, it's pretty cool.

Damn cool.

(CHUCKLES)

Thanks, Coach.

(COACHES SHOUTING)

Let's go.
Off the ball.

CROWLEY: Wrap him up.
Wrap him up!

CROWLEY:
Here we go now!

Here we go.
COACH: What you gonna do? Oh!

That's it.

What's that?

Run through it now.
Run through it. Let's go!

TAYLOR: Get off the ball,
Sutherton! Let's go!

STAN: Come on now, 98!
CROWLEY: Go, go, go! Get him!

Don't wait on it.

DALLAS: Attack the hole, baby.

I know this year...
I know this year we'll be ranked.

Hey, Luke, man.

I heard one of those guys say
we're gonna be ranked top 20.

After our last game, I think we're
gonna be ranked top 10 after this.

Hell, yeah.

I don't wanna hear that crap talked about
out here anymore. Do you understand me?

Yes, sir.
Yes, sir.

Keep your mind focused
on what's going on.

You got it?
BOTH: Yes, sir.

Let's go, Tinker.
Fire off the ball.

Hastings, you got to stop
dancing on your route, son.

You got to break on it.
You hear me?

You break on the ball,
all right?

What the hell
are you doing?

What the hell
are you doing?

I'm just taking a break.

What?
STAN: Come on, Tinker!

Relax, Billy. Do you have
any protein on you?

You call me Coach Riggins,
or you call me sir.

Do you hear me?
Put that damn helmet on.

Put the helmet on!
All right.

Now!
All right, all right.

Do it again!
Let's go!

(LAUGHS)

Hey, Coach.

Sir, this kid's
a piece of work.

Be easy on him.

Yes, sir.

Don't take your helmet off
on my field again.

Let's go!

Rankings, that's all they're
damn talking about out here.

Oh, don't worry
about it, Coach.

We'll get
their mind right.

Are you worried about it?

Do I look worried
about anything?

I didn't think so.

Aw, cookies.
Oh, yeah.

Rice Krispie treats, baby.

DALLAS: It's like
the best.

LUKE: It's like two cookies stuck
together with peanut butter.

DALLAS: Oh.

Oh, my God, are you serious?
Are you serious?

Oh, man, cookies.

I got porn.

Lots of porn.

(CHUCKLES)

HASTINGS: Want it?

LUKE: Um...

All right.

HASTINGS: Okay, I'll see you out there.
All right, cool.

Hey, baby girl.
Hey, baby.

How you doing?

Good.
Good?

Did you, um, forget the
combination to my locker?

Mmm-mmm.
I still remember it. Why?

Mmm, okay, well, just that
all the other players

got something
from the rally girls,

cookies, brownies,
porn, and stuff,

and I just didn't see nothing
in my locker, so, you know,

my baby must have forgot.

Oh, yeah.

About that, though...

You know what?

I don't really think this
rally girl thing is for me.

Okay.

I mean, if that's
the way you feel, cool.

And I'm just saying that's
how I think, you know.

I know some other people
don't think that way,

and that's cool, too.

And... And I'm not saying you
shouldn't have a rally girl.

Jess, you would have a fit
if you seen another girl

walking around the school
wearing my jersey.

Boy, it's just a jersey.

Why would I actually
have a fit?

You telling me
I can go get a rally girl?

Boy, go get yourself
a rally girl.

All right, all right.

Thank you.
Go on, now.

Okay, all right.
Thank you.

TAMI: So what I'm suggesting is
an after-school tutorial program.

Maybe one day a week,

and a few teachers
a week pitch in.

The idea would be to give
some of these at-risk kids

an opportunity
to improve, you know.

They're not getting
the help at home.

Let's give them a place
where they can come

and do better
in their studies.

Tami, the thing is,
is that we are already,

all of us,
giving so much,

and we basically get paid
nothing to do it.

And we already know which kids
want help and which ones don't.

TAMI: Well, I hear
what you're saying.

You know, I don't know,
for me, as an educator,

the challenge is getting to those
kids who are harder to reach.

That's what
I really love.

You're right.

But I just don't want it to
take away from my other kids.

I think we're saying
the same thing,

and I'll put up a sign-up,
and, you know,

people who are willing to
volunteer, it would be great.

Let's just see
what happens.

Good.
Well, thank you, Tami.

Thank you so much.
Um...

You know, we have some
other things to cover.

We need to talk
about supervising

the parking lot for lunch.

Most historians believe that

there were around
250 defenders of the Alamo.

Not a soul who fought
at the Battle of the Alamo

was left to tell the story.

In section this week,

be ready to discuss
Davy Crockett and the Alamo

as an example of myth versus
history in the American South.

Hey, guys.
I'm Derek Bishop, head TA.

Look, the deets
are on the syllabi.

Professor Nevins is holding his annual
history department mixer tomorrow.

Even if you're not considering
history as your major,

I recommend showing up,

unless you know a better
place to eat free food

and dodge old men
with halitosis.

(STUDENTS LAUGHING)
I'm just kidding.

Professor Nevins
isn't that old.

(STUDENTS LAUGHING) Anyway,
rally your study groups, okay?

Let's come out.

Thank you.
You're done.

Hey, excuse me.

Um, I was wondering,
do you have a study group?

Oh, hey, uh...
Actually, I'm just pledging Sigma Chi.

The brothers are making me
take notes for them.

I'm not even
in this class, but...

Oh, okay, thanks.

Ladies, I'm home.

Hey.
Sorry about the mess.

Um, I'm trying to double
this oatmeal cookie recipe

for Tinker, and I don't
think I did it right,

'cause that looks
like a brick.

Did you put all the flour
in there and everything?

Yeah, I did that, and
then, um, I added four...

BILLY: You got to
double the eggs.

You got to double, like, all
the liquid that's in it, too.

So, like, more milk?

Yeah, more milk, more eggs,
'cause if you double the flour,

then you have to double
all the liquids.

(CHUCKLES) You can't
just double up the flour.

Well, if it's, like,
1 and 3l4...

Hey, baby, can I see you
outside for a minute?

Um, yeah, all right.

Hey, Min, want some cookies?
I really don't.

We'll figure this out.
We'll get it figured out.

What's up?

So, I'm just gonna go
and say this now.

I don't like it.

Oh, no, she'll clean it up.

It's not that big a deal.
I'm not worried about the kitchen.

I'm worried about her
being all cute

and you being all, "Did you put
enough milk in the recipe?"

I read Us Magazine.
That nanny with Jon and Kate.

Look what
happened to them.

Babe, she's not a nanny.
She's just...

It's not about
being a nanny!

It's about her
wearing her short shorts

and being all cute
in my house all the time.

It's bigger than you,
and it's nature,

and there's a fox in my
henhouse, and I don't like it.

Baby, my brother, who is
in prison because of me,

asked me to look after her, all right?
(SIGHS)

(DOOR OPENING)

(SIGHING)

Hey, baby.
Hey, Mama.

What are you
doing awake?

Waiting for you to come in.
I got some stuff I got to show you.

Oh, baby, not tonight.
I am so tired.

It'll just take a second.
My boss was on me.

He was talking about the department
not being zoned properly.

Then the next thing you know, he sends
me over there to relieve some people.

I go and relieve them,
then later on tonight,

he tells me I'm not doing
my job properly.

Can you believe that?

It's too much.
It just wore me out.

But we'll be all right.
Mmm-hmm.

Really?
Yeah.

(EXHALES TIREDLY)

What's this?

These are letters

from colleges.

Miami, Michigan,
LSU,

Texas, Ohio State,
Alabama.

Mama, they want me.

Where do you want to live?
You want the city, the beach?

Florida? California?

Huh? Where do you
want to live?

'Cause I'm gonna
take care of you, Mama.

(SOBBING) I'm so proud
of you, baby.

We don't have to worry about
nothing anymore. I promise.

I'm so proud of you.

(BOTH LAUGHING)

They want me!
They want me!

Good morning. How are
my two favorite people?

Morning, honey.

What's the matter?
What's going on?

I was just looking
at the rankings.

And?

Well, we didn't get ranked.

That doesn't seem right.

We went 2-8 last year.
What do you expect?

What do you want
for breakfast?

Mac and cheese.

Mac and cheese, please.
All right.

Mac and cheese
for breakfast.

That is one
healthy diet, girl.

BURNWELL: You can't
ask for blood, Tami,

for something called
the homework club.

Well, it's not called
the homework club.

Well, that's what
they call it around here.

Who's calling it
the homework club?

This is tutoring.
It's mentoring.

This is what we're supposed
to be doing as educators.

Well, you are a great counselor
and you're a great educator,

but the teachers feel
like you're lecturing them.

I am not lecturing.

I don't think it's wrong
about what you're doing.

I just think you're going
about it the wrong way.

Tami, build up
some allegiances,

and then hit them up
for help, okay?

Boy, stop looking.

Strong right, power pass, they
switch to cover 2. What's your read?

Uh, wait for X to pass...
Hey, Vince.

Throw it to Z
in the post.

Hey, Maura, how you doing?
I'm good.

I just needed to get
your address

so I can deliver
your pre-game package.

2609 Chavez, apartment 23.

Yeah, the cross street
is Grant, too.

It's near
the Chicken Shack.

Mmm, yeah,
I know where it is.

Cool.
Thanks.

You want to go to defense?

Yeah, let's do that.
Let's go to defense.

BILLY: Let's go! On the hoof!
Let's go! Come on!

You seeing anything
out here at all?

Coach, we got no energy.
We got no zip.

We're just flat.

Maybe we should just have them run
suicides for the rest of practice.

CROWLEY:
I'm good with that.

I think they're all
just so depressed.

What?

The Lions have
been ignored.

COACH: Let's go! Come on!

Hey, Mo,
what's Croft ranked now?

Uh, they're ranked nine.
LUKE: Nine.

Last week, before you all beat
'em, they were ranked eight.

How we gonna beat
a top-10 team

and they don't even
put us in the top 20?

We went through
the same thing.

We walked all over Croft.
We beat 'em up.

Man, I told y'all this was
some kind of damn conspiracy!

DALLAS: They don't want
to give us no respect!

LUKE: They're
looking at rushing yards.

DALLAS: It ain't right!
Hi, Mo, thanks, man.

Hey, listen up. Tink, pick up
your helmet and shut your mouth.

You know what, I told you
about this already, didn't I?

I want you to run until I
tell you not to run anymore.

Do you understand me?
Yes, sir.

Let's see you
hit the road right now.

Keep running.
You keep running.

Start now and keep.
You can go join him.

You can't keep
your mouth shut either?

I talked to you
about this already.

Hey, listen up.

I don't want to hear
any more crap out here

about these rankings,
do you understand?

No more!
That's it!

Get back out there.
Let's go.

We're starting practice
all over again.

Come on, man.
I got enough to worry about out here,

you're riling
these kids up.

Don't bring that out here,
all right?

Thank you.

Let's go!

Oh!

Uh, sorry.

Thank you.
(BOTH LAUGHING)

(CELL PHONE RINGING)

Great.

Hello?

Hello. Hey, sweetheart!

Wait. Wait. Wait. Hold on one second.
Hold on one second.

I only get, like,
one bar in my office,

so I have to come...
Can you hear me?

Yeah, hey.

Hi. How are you, babe?

I'm good.

How's your roommate?
You like her?

Yeah, she's just
busy a lot.

Well, how are
your classes?

Um, they're pretty
interesting, I guess.

I'm trying to decide between Great
Myths of the American South

and Econ.

I don't know. I think,
with Econ, you know,

it's always something
you can use in real life.

Yeah, I... Mom, I wasn't
really asking your opinion.

I know, honey,
and I wasn't pressuring you.

I want you to do whatever
it is that excites you.

Okay, Mom. I got to go.
I'll talk to you later. Bye-bye.

All right, love you.
Bye.

You can come back in now.

(SIGHS)

Let me get
the chicken and ribs.

Man, listen,
they're just letters.

Yeah, recruitment letters,
a lot of recruitment letters.

I'm not even thinking
about that right now.

Let's just get these Ws.

It's a marathon,
thank you, not a sprint.

Sausage, please,
and the ribs.

Is Hastings pissing you off, too?
He's bugging me.

You've been
very angry lately, Luke.

You need a hug?
You need some love, don't you?

Yes, I need a hug.
Thank you. Appreciate it.

He's a fruitcake,
that's all.

He's a very fast fruitcake
with amazing hands.

Vince Howard.
Howdy.

Let me shake
them cannons there, son.

Bob Short.
I own Short Garden Supplies.

"Whatever you want,
get it in Short Supply."

Well, it's nice
to meet you, sir.

Bob, please.

I should be calling you "sir"
after that game last week.

Yeah, well,
it was a tough win.

I got his dinner.

No...

All right, thanks.

Have you met Luke Cafferty,
Lions star running back?

Oh, okay. Pleasure, sir.
Very nice to meet you.

All-State last year.
Yeah, okay.

I got, uh...
Luke.

Luke's, too. (CHUCKLES)

You ever need anything,
call me.

All right.

Keep those guns up.

Good meeting you, son.
You too, kid.

Yeah, thanks.
Appreciate it.

Thanks, Bob.

You got enough
bulbs up there?

There's another box
in the back.

What are you doing here?

Hey, Eric.

I just wanted to give you
a heads-up.

You're gonna get
a phone call

from the athletic
administration.

About what?

They're having a hearing

on that awesome hit
that Luke made last week.

Where'd you hear that?

I play golf
with Hank's brother.

Who's Hank?

Hank Simmons.

Athletic Administration
Hank Simmons.

What the hell do they want?
It was a clean hit.

I was standing right there.
I know. I know.

They're saying, you know, it's
some kind of safety issue.

And there's a chance that
Luke might get suspended.

You got to be kidding me.
I know. I know.

It's just a bunch of bureaucrats
trying to cover their asses!

(PEOPLE CHATTERING)

DEREK: Come on. Come on!

Oh, come on, Jones!
What are you, blind?

(DEREK APPLAUDING)

Nice. Nice!

Oh! Yeah!

Oh!

Nice catch.

It's a classic game.
36 throwback.

Classic, yeah,
but no throwback.

No, I'm pretty sure
this is a throwback.

It's my dad's
favorite game.

It's a great ending.

I think you're wrong.

You're pretty cocky
for somebody who's wrong.

Yeah, I'm cocky.

Hey. Derek Bishop.

Julie Taylor.

You're the TA
in my history class.

That's right.
Nice to meet you, Julie Taylor.

So you're a football fan?

(SIGHS) My dad's a high-school
football coach, so not really.

Yeah, there's no
36 throwback in this.

There's a 36 throwback.

I'd bet my life on it.

So have a nice night.

You're wrong.

We'll see.

Maura, I have a question.

What's that?

Isn't it a little demeaning
when a girl puts her panties

in the locker
of a boy she barely knows?

Ooh.

Is someone getting
a little jealous?

(LAUGHING) No, look,
you don't get me.

Hear me out.

When you put your panties
in his locker,

what does that say about
your self-respect, you know?

What does that say about
how you feel about yourself?

(SCOFFS) I think
what that says about me

is that I'm gonna have
your man in two weeks,

and there's nothing
you can do about it.

Okay.

You know what?

I was trying to enlighten
your heifer ass.

But it's just not working.

Well, you know what?
Enlighten this, you dumbass.

Oh, bitch!

MAURA: Let go!
Let go of me!

(BOTH SHOUTING)

You're an honor student.

What are you doing
fighting in the bathroom?

Okay, she pushed me first.

Uh-uh.
I don't want to hear that.

What's going on
in your head?

I didn't go in there trying
to fight her or anything.

I mean, I was just going
in there to talk to her

about this whole stupid
rally girl stuff.

'Cause it's, like...
I think it's demeaning

for her to put her panties
in my boyfriend's locker.

(SIGHS)

It's part of
Texas football.

Well, the thing is, like,

I'm someone
who loves Texas football.

You know, like, my father
played most of his life,

and my little brothers
now play,

and I had so much fun
this summer

helping Vince get better
at his game and stuff.

I don't know.
I love the game.

I... I understand it.

But, I don't know...

I'm sorry for that.

So I'm gonna find
some extracurricular things

for you to do after school
so you can work this off,

and you are not
gonna fight again.

Yes, ma'am.

You get Burnwell to sing
at happy hour,

I will buy your drinks
for the entire semester.

So same time,
same place, all that?

Hey, y'all.

ALL: Hey.

What's going on?

You just caught us
talking about happy hour.

Oh, y'all do a happy hour?

Rivera's,
every Thursday night.

Yeah, you should come.

Oh, thank you.

Well, if I can get away from
the family, maybe I will.

TAMI: See y'all later.

Okay. Bye, Tami.

(CHATTERING)

Okay, now, if she came
to happy hour...

Somebody's buying me drinks if
she comes to happy hour, right?

I mean, come on.

LUKE: Hey, listen up.

"Lion trouble: Inquiry
to focus on illegal hit."

They're already saying
it's an illegal hit.

So, first they screw us over
with the rankings, right?

DALLAS: And now they're
going after Cafferty.

Not even fair, dude.

Why are they messing
with me, man?

This is my life. They're gonna
get me suspended from a game.

I know, it's messed up.
It's not right.

DALLAS: It's a conspiracy.
They're trying to screw us.

Hey, guys.
Listen to me.

Coach, I speak
for everybody by saying,

we feel like
everybody's out to get us.

They're going after Luke,
saying his hit was illegal.

He might get suspended.

Doesn't it bother you
that nobody's respecting us?

With all due respect, Vince, I
don't give a piss what you feel.

Listen to me.

There is no "they."

It's an interleague
safety issue. That's it.

It's a standard deal.
You've all seen it before.

It's nothing more
than that.

If there was a problem,
I'd know about it.

The staff would
know about it.

You would know about it.

One day at a time,
one game at a time, right?

ALL: Yep.
Yes, sir.

One day at a time,
one game at a time, yeah?

Yep. Yes, sir.
ALL: Yes, sir.

DALLAS:
They give us no respect.

I hope he's right.

Look what the cat
dragged in here.

Mac, how you doing?

McGILL: (CHUCKLING) How you doin', bud?
What are you doing here?

I came over to say hello.
You never come over to see me.

How are you?
I got stuff to do here.

Yeah? You got a minute of time?
I need to talk to you.

Sure.

Of course
you're not ranked, Eric.

What the hell's that mean?

You're an outsider now.

They're not gonna
let you back in.

This inquiry
wasn't the league.

It was Jim Leland
over at Croft.

Jim?
Yep.

You know that for a fact?

I know it for a fact.

You ought to know it.

I tell you what.

We're still gonna kick y'all's
ass this year, no matter what.

20 bucks in shots
says you're wrong.

(LAUGHS) You're on.

Uh, I'm not ready to turn
this into an office yet.

She's only
been gone a week.

Yeah, well, it's not like we're
renting out her room or anything.

I just don't want to get rid
of all her little things,

little mementos and whatnot.

So I just got asked out
to happy hour

from the teachers at school.

Really?
Mmm-hmm.

Can't get any support
from any of these teachers,

can't get them to sign up
for my mentoring workshop,

none of that, but,
"Oh, come on to happy hour."

Where's the happy hour?

Rivera's.

Hey, Rivera's is
a great place.

You know what?
I'm gonna go to happy hour.

You should. And I'm gonna
create some allegiances,

so maybe I can get
some help over there.

You should do that.

Rivera's is a happy place.

You start having cocktails, everyone
will talk about everything.

It's easier to get flies with
honey than it is vinegar.

Come here.

Oh, no,
that is our daughter's bed.

Are you crazy?

That is disgusting.

Hi, sweetie.

Who's smoking in here?

Hey, Epyck.

Aren't you supposed to be
in Social Sciences right now?

I'll get there.

Excuse me.
What in the hell are you doing?

Putting out your cigarette
and taking you to class.

Come on.

You want to hold my hand?

How the hell do you know
my schedule, anyway?

It's none of your business.
It is my business.

I'm the guidance counselor.

Well, the last one
didn't care.

Well, I care.

And I expect to have you
and at least one parent

in a meeting with me
within the next 48 hours.

(SCOFFS) Yeah,
my foster parents

are really gonna give
a crap what you want.

Hey.

If you don't have somebody
at home that cares about you

and cares about your grades,

I am sorry about that.

You don't deserve that,
and it's not fair.

Are you done?

Yeah.

You can watch it
five more times.

Doesn't matter. That's a good, clean,
honest hit between the whistles.

I stand by my player.

I disagree.
Your player led with his helmet.

His eyes were up.
His shoulders were squared.

There was no flag thrown.

So what you're saying,
I think,

is that referees were wrong
in not throwing the flag.

In this case, yes,
the refs made a mistake.

They should have
thrown the flag.

It's our right and our
duty to correct this,

and what you think
is irrelevant, Coach.

I don't think
we'd be here,

if we hadn't beat a team
we weren't supposed to beat.

Two days,
two days after the game,

this complaint
comes about.

As we said,
it's a safety issue.

We have to send a message.

Boy, I got your message
loud and clear.

(ROCK MUSIC BLARING)

GIRL: Go!

ALL: Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

(ALL CHEERING)

Becky!
Get up here, girl!

I don't do beer.
Sorry.

Yeah, you go.

Yeah!

(ALL WHOOPING)

Where's Tinker?

He's, uh...
He's over there by the truck.

But, hey, hey, dude, none
of us are drinking tonight.

We got that big game
against Larabee tomorrow.

I talked to Coach.

I got suspended for a game.

Are you serious?

Hey, hey, dude.

All right.
Where's my quarterback?

Bring it on!

Vince.
Hmm?

How about a kiss
for the winner?

I can't. I can't.
Come on, now.

What, Jess,
you got something to say?

I would binge a little more
of that. Come on.

You wanna do this?
Let's do this.

Let's do this.
Come on.

ALL: Go! Go! Go! Go! Go! Go!

(CHEERING)

TAMI: Cheers!
Cheers, y'all!

Burnwell, what are you
doing drinking a beer?

(STUTTERS) Okay...
I'm just having a drink.

(ALL CHATTERING)

Are you all talking
about Marilyn Monroe again?

Cassius Clay.

What do you teach?

Special Government.

Uh-huh? Good.
That's always interesting.

Uh-huh.

Doesn't have to be
anything fancy, but, you know.

And, you know, we talked
about this last time.

I'll drink on that one.
Tony Dorsett.

Come on.

Oh, no!
(ALL EXCLAIM)

Oh, goodness gracious.
Oh, heavens.

LAUREL: Oh, my gosh.
Oh, no, it's fine.

Don't worry about it.

That doesn't happen
every time, I promise.

We actually make it through
several of these without...

You know, actually, I'm
gonna head on home anyway.

I got a baby
and all that, so...

All right,
I'll see y'all later.

Thank you.
Bye-bye.

Y'all have a good one.

Good Lord.
I swear.

Tami, wait.

Oh, hey.
I'm so sorry about that.

Oh, no, it's fine.
It's fine.

It'll get easier.

It's always hard to be new and
at a table of cynical people.

No, everybody's fine.

I know you must have
thought we were cynical.

I'm sorry.

No, you know what?

Honestly, I am just trying
to help these kids,

and I'm looking for
a little support, frankly.

Yeah.

Well, you know that
after-school mentor program?

I can...
I'll volunteer for that.

Oh, really?

(CHUCKLES)
Sure, sign me up.

Oh, good!

Thank you.

We'll talk about it.

Great!
Okay. Good night.

Thanks, Laurel.
Okay, sure.

All right.
I'll see you tomorrow.

All right.
See you tomorrow.

Bye.

Oh, good.

Look at that.

ALL: Chug! Chug! Chug!
Chug! Chug! Chug! Chug!

(CHEERING)

(RETCHING)

Ooh. All right, get it out.

Get it out.
Come on.

(MOANING)

Ugh!

Come on, go ahead.

Go ahead, just...
Go ahead, yeah, mmm-hmm.

(WHINING)

Ugh. Oh, gosh.

Are you okay?

Come on.

I don't want you to think

this has got anything
to do with Maura.

Baby, I think it has
a lot to do with Maura.

I... I miss you.

Miss... Miss what?

I'm not going anywhere.
I'm right here.

I don't miss you.
I miss the football of you.

Like, the way we were practicing
over the summer, you know?

Like, going over strategies
and stuff, and...

And you got Coach now.

And I'm supposed
to be a rally girl.

I know.
I'm just terrible.

I'm a girl,
and I like football.

I think
you're beautiful.

You wanna go home?

Come on.

Come on, champ.

I'll get you home.

At least you won.

(PEOPLE CHEERING)

Ah, wait! Wait!

What's he doing to her?

No, no, no! No, no!

Y'all leave
that girl alone!

Take her home.

Take her home!
Take her home!

Oh, no, no, we're just
waking her up a bit.

They need to leave
her alone, babe.

I'm gonna get you home
right now.

Hey, hey.
Douche bag!

Why are you even
on our team?

You don't give
a rat's ass.

I asked you a question.
I'm talking to you.

Is there something going on
in there or not?

You hearing me?

Why don't you go dip your head
in some water, Opie, all right?

Look at me
when I'm talking to you!

Get your hands off me.

Hey.
Becky.

Come on. Hey,
I need to talk to you.

Give me your keys.

Why?

Because I'm gonna
find you a ride home.

I'm fine.

Yeah, but, um...
Hastings!

Hey, no,
I know you are.

I just... I really want to get out
of here, and you're a good excuse.

Okay.

Okay, so...
Come on.

All right. Come on. Let's go.

Okay.

All right.

Thanks, Becky.

You're welcome.
(CHUCKLES)

I traded my pig for you.

What?

Maribelle.

Like, Tinker's in love with her,
and I said he could have her

if I could have you
for my rally girl.

Well, how does the pig
feel about that?

(SNORTS)

(LAUGHS)

You want to come in
for a second?

Not tonight.

I'll see you at school.

Good night.

(LAUGHS) Have a good night.

Bye.
Bye.

Thanks.
See you at school.

Yup.

Hey.

If you are going to
live in this house,

there are rules, because we
have been up half the night

worried sick about you.

I'm sorry.
I didn't think I had a curfew.

You didn't think, did you?
That's the problem.

Because you cannot
be out all night

when we are responsible
for you.

I'm sorry.

I'm just not really used
to people noticing.

Well, get used to it.

Go to bed.

Okay. Good night.

Morning.

Morning.

I'm here
for our stupid meeting.

Come on in.

Hey, football!

Hey.

You were right
the other day.

I googled the game.

It was 36 throwback.

Nice. So you trust
Google more than me.

(LAUGHS)

You know, I feel like we
should have bet something,

and since you clearly
would have won,

how about I buy you
a coffee?

Sure.

And by the way, my name's
Julie, not football.

Okay.

You know where
my office is.

See you after class.

Okay.

Bye, Julie.

REGINA: About two years.

Um...

Alamo Freeze,
Dillon, Texas.

That was a fast-food job.

Okay, where
were you in 2008?

'Cause there's
nothing down here.

Um...
I just had some...

Some problems come up
during that time.

Bye, now.

I got it.
Got it, yes!

(BOTH LAUGHING)

SAMMY ON RADIO:
With Luke Cafferty suspended,

Coach Taylor is gonna
have to take pause

and think about what
his next move's gonna be.

The Athletic Administration has sent a
loud and clear message to the Lions,

"Y'all better watch
yourselves."

(CHATTERING)

(CHATTERING STOPS)

(ALL APPROVING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Let's go!
