Friday Night Lights (2006–2011): Season 5, Episode 6 - Swerve - full transcript

Rather than return to college where she's been humiliated, Julie wrecks her car. As the truth comes out, Coach Taylor is thrown, so much so that he leaves a practice early. Meanwhile Vince's past friend is pressuring him to repay the money that he borrowed. Luke reacts badly to the information that TMU recruiters were using him to get to Vince. Billy Riggins gets to step up for a locker-room speech when Coach is late. Vinces dad steps in to help out his son and Mindy tells Becky that she needs to get laid to get her mind off Tim Riggins and even suggests the farm-boy to do it with.

This is Karl Gage
from over at TMU.

Why don't we just bring you out
to TMU and talk about your plans?

I got six tickets from
the recruitment office

for anybody
that wants to go.

VINCE: And when I walked in they were all
just sitting there waiting to meet me.

I said, "I thought
you wanted Cafferty."

Does anyone else know about this?
No.

Keep it that way.

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

Derek's my husband!

Julie Taylor
is a slut!



I will walk on fire
for you guys.

DALLAS: Do it! Do it!

(SCREAMS)
(BOYS CHEER)

(INAUDIBLE)

Hey. I was just talking
with Doc Frankel.

He went to TMU.

Oh.
You should have seen his face

when I told him they
want you on the team.

Now, Dad, I don't want
you telling people

before they actually...
I really think...

I know we butted
heads about college.

I know,
but I'm proud of you.

Okay.

Put your noose
back on.



Mom wants to get some pictures of
the pastor and the football star.

Do up your top button.
Yeah, do the top one. Yes, ma'am.

There you go.
Thank you.

BUDDY: So, what do you
think about your husband?

Preeminent national high-school
football magazine,

on the cover,
picture.

What? It's an article.
It's just an article.

"Eric Taylor, Kingmaker."

Kingmaker? Good Lord.

It says "Kingmaker"?

Well, you'll
see it tomorrow.

But I'm gonna need a copy, 'cause I
need to autograph one for the bar.

Okay.

And here is Julie Taylor,
home from college.

What, are you
on break?

Um, no, I'm just, um,
kind of tidying up

a few odds and
ends and stuff.

You remember
Buddy, Jr?

Hey.

Yeah, I thought you
were in California.

Yeah, I was, then I got
shipped out to Taos.

TAMI: We're going to get it soon.
We're going to get it soon. Come here.

Nice. How are you?

I'm good.

GRACIE: I need
more drink!

TAMI: Uh-oh, I need to
take this one on home.

BUDDY: Wait a minute.
Wait a minute.

All right, sweetie.

Look at those two, all grown up.

(TAMI LAUGHS)

BUDDY: What a
good-Iooking couple.

(TAMI LAUGHS)
Look at that.

Uh-oh, we gotta go!
We gotta go!

Great to see y'all. Bye.
LITTLE BUDDY: Have a good one.

Bye,
y'all.

(ALL CLAMORING)

(GROWLING PLAYFULLY)

You can't run from me!
You can't run from me!

REGINA: Those boys, I tell you,

they are just
loving Vince.

BIRD: I'm going
to tell you, that boy

has been nothing
short of a godsend.

Been so hard on 'em, their
daddy being gone so long.

Yeah, well, you know,
boys need their daddy.

You know what? I think it's time
we had us a big old dinner.

How about Friday night?
Our house.

Right after Vince
whup them Rattlers.

(LAUGHS)

Oh, now, are we
talking about pie?

Man, he ask me
about my pie?

You know, I make the best
pie you ever tasted,

next to yours,
of course, girl.

Oh, okay.
Thank you.

You want to do that?

Mmm-hmm.
REGINA: Okay.

We gonna take you up on your offer, Bird.
We'll be there.

That's nice.
I'm gonna look forward to that.

All right, you little monsters.
Come on. It's time to go home.

What'd they eat? I don't know.
They tire me out.

(CHUCKLES) We still seeing
that movie later on?

Yeah, we can go.
Doesn't matter what we're gonna watch,

because you're gonna be all
over me in the back seat.

Oh, someone loves their
self so much, you know?

Yeah, we can go, though.
I gotta run.

Yeah, me, too.
Three miles.

Oh, well, try not to trip over
your ego when you're running.

REGINA: Oh? Oh!

Bye. Ooh, did you hear that?

You see what
I gotta deal with?

ANNOUNCER:
There's the snap.

Play action
going to the right.

Looking, looking,
still looking!

BILLY: Come on!
He is sacked!

(TELEPHONE RINGING)

Brought down at the
line of scrimmage.

What a hit
laid out by...

Hello?

Hey, Tim.
Tim, what's going on, man?

No, I'm having a little trouble
hearing you. You there?

I wanna talk to Tim.
No. Uh, one second.

Can you turn that down? Yeah.

Do you want me to turn it off?
No, don't turn it off.

The Cowboys'll lose
if you turn it off.

Don't turn it off.
What...

No, I'm having trouble hearing you, man.
You there?

Hey, Tim,
can you hear me?

I'm gonna grab the other phone.
You are gonna sit.

Well, I just want to say hi.
Hey. You are staying here.

BILLY: Yeah, just
watching the game, man.

Can you guys watch it there?
Yeah, no...

Hey, trust me, man.

I have made all the
payments on that place.

When you get out, that
land is gonna be there,

I promise you.

Hey, did you get the money
that I sent over there?

No, I sent it
on Tuesday.

I will go by there
tomorrow, okay?

How's everything
else going? Tim?

Tim! Hello?

Oh, hell,
look at you, man.

Hey, where
you going, son?

(LAUGHS) Look at you,
with your new kicks,

looking like
a new man.

Except you ain't.

Same punk wouldn't stand
up for his boy Calvin.

Gotta go
for a run...

You owe me
five Gs, man.

Well, I ain't
got your money.

You know how
I finished it?

I put two holes in that
son of a bitch's guts.

Watched him die.

You got two days to
come up with my money.

Who knows
what'll happen?

Let her go now. I think you got
all the little dirt specks

you're gonna get
with your hankie.

TAYLOR: Do you have cash? Yeah.

How much
you got?

Uh, I've got,
like, 50 bucks.

All right.
Careful, sweets.

Come here.

Bye, Dad.
Okay, bye.

Bye, guys.
TAMI: Be safe.

All right. Bye, sweetie.

JULIE: Bye.
TAMI: Be careful!

(CAR ALARM BEEPING)

JULIE: So, you don't have to drive
me back to school or anything.

I can just wait
until the car's done.

Oh, no, honey, I do
not mind one bit.

I don't want you
missing any classes.

I was just gonna do a
little bit of rescheduling.

Yeah, but I'm not gonna
miss anything, technically,

because we're just
studying for midterms,

and I can
do that here.

Well, what'd that
mechanic say?

Oh, he's gonna call later
on with the estimate.

Did you find the number
of the insurance guy?

TAMI: No, I'm trying.
TAYLOR: Well, I need that.

Oh, here it is.
Here it is. Look.

I'm really sorry
about the car.

TAYLOR: Honey, don't
worry about the car.

It was an accident. It's a good accident.
Everyone was safe.

Yeah, but the dog just ran out
in the middle of the road.

TAMI: It's awful.
Let me tell you something,

that dog's gonna
have his day.

But I wrecked the car.

It's okay.
It happens.

You're safe.
That's all that's important.

I'm taking you back.

Honey, the only thing I need to work out
is just Gracie Belle this afternoon.

That's the only issue.

I don't know, maybe first,
we should talk to your dad.

Like, they used to
run together, right?

Yeah, but my dad's
on parole.

He gets messed up with
Kennard, he goes back in.

Well, he don't have to do anything
that gets him in trouble.

No, my dad's trying too hard
to straighten up his life.

He's not going back
because of me.

Besides, I got money.

Okay, you ever
heard of a bank?

Hey, bank's not always open
when you need the cash.

How many hiding
places you got?

Obviously not enough.

Okay, you know what?
We'll talk to Coach.

Yeah, right.

What?

We talk to Coach, we gotta
tell him about everything.

What really happened with
Calvin, stealing cars.

It's way too much
explaining to do.

TAYLOR: Look, I know cheaper
parts (KNOCKING ON DOOR)

are available, but it's
my daughter's car.

All right, well, when
you get that number,

if you'd leave
a message.

All right,
thank you.

Hey, Coach.
Coach, um...

Vince told me what
happened down at TMU,

that they're
interested in him,

and then he told me that you said
not to say anything to me about it.

Is that true?

That is true.

Look, I'm sorry.
I meant to tell you this myself.

Tell me what?

Sit down.

No, Coach, I don't want
you to sugarcoat it.

I just want you to tell me straight.
What is it?

(SIGHS)

They don't want you.
They want Vince.

They knew
you were friends.

They went through
you to get to him.

I should have seen it, and
I didn't, and I apologize.

I'm pretty sure they
want both of us, Coach.

I talked to Karl Gage yesterday...

I'm pretty sure that I know
what I'm talking about.

I was blindsided,
and I apologize for it.

I should have been watching
out for you better.

All the tickets and the taking
me down there and everything?

Let me tell you something.
You're a hell of an athlete.

You're gonna have a hell of
a lot more opportunities.

Sit down a second,
would you?

No, I'm all right.

Okay.

Thank you.

CROWLEY: Coach, aren't you
gonna suspend somebody?

Coach, I'm not gonna suspend anyone
for doing something that stupid.

Hell, it's not like we
didn't do anything worse.

(SCOFFS) I took a dump
in a mailbox once.

Sorry, Coach. I didn't even know you.
It was your first season.

I got them in the
bleachers, Coach.

Good. STAN: You gonna
rip 'em a new one?

I would rip
'em a new one.

I'll take that under
consideration, thank you.

STAN: Sorry.
Here he comes!

You ready?
You ready, now?

Listen up.
It's come to my attention...

(PLAYERS CHUCKLING)

Put 'em down.

It's come to my attention
that several of you

have permanently
scarred yourselves

by branding your
bodies with a...

What the hell was it,
a salad fork?

Coat hanger,
Mr. Kingmaker, sir.

(PLAYERS CHUCKLING SOFTLY)

Let me tell you
something.

You know, it's every coach's
dream to experience

the highest level of idiocy
that his team can muster.

And, gentlemen, collectively, us
coaches, we are living a dream.

But we'd like for you
to live your dreams, too.

So we're gonna allow
you to live the dream

of realizing just how
far it is you can run

before you can
run no more,

led with the tutelage
of Coach Traub.

Begin living your dream.
Hop to it. Let's go.

STAN: Live the dream!
BILLY: Let's go. Helmets on.

Live the dream!
Let's live it!

TAYLOR: Vince!

Yes, sir.

Didn't I ask you to not
say anything to Luke?

Yes, you did, but it just
kind of slipped out.

I didn't want
to lie to him.

I didn't ask you
to lie to him.

I simply asked you to
keep your mouth shut.

I tried, but...

I'm sorry.

I'm gonna run.

I am dying to hear
about school,

and I am trying
not to be pushy,

but you haven't
said a word.

Can you tell me about it?
How's it going?

Classes?

Mom, they make you take all GEs
your first semester anyways,

so it's just whatever.

Boys?

Don't know.

What's going on?

If I tell you something, can
you promise not to freak out?

Mmm-hmm.

I kind of was messing around
with this TA who is married,

but was supposedly
separated,

but it turns out he's not as
separated as I thought he was,

and his wife is crazy
and came to my dorm room

and physically assaulted me
in front of everybody and...

Did she hurt you, hon?

No, I'm fine.
It's just...

She slapped me in front of everybody.
The whole dorm.

I can't go back there, and
I don't know what to do.

TAYLOR: With her teacher?

TAMI: Her TA.

With her married TA,
who's how old?

I don't know.

Did you ask her
how old this guy is?

No, honey, I didn't ask her.
I was in shock.

And, you know, just come here.
Just come sit down

so we can talk.
I don't want to sit down.

Then stop thinking
what you're thinking.

I'm gonna go up there, and I'm
gonna kick that kid's ass

is what I'm gonna do.
No, you're not.

What the hell
is someone doing,

running around with the
students up at the school?

Running around with my damn daughter?
Honey, shh!

One of the TAs?
Honey, honey.

A married TA?

She is humiliated!

Damn well hope so, honey.
And ashamed.

Honey, our daughter
is destroyed right now.

That's what we
need to focus on.

(SIGHS)

We need to be
compassionate.

(SIGHS)

Oh. You know she wrecked
that car on purpose.

No.

Think about it.

No, she did not.

Think about it.
No, she did not.

I knew something was wrong.
Think about it, honey.

Honey,
she wouldn't do that.

(SIGHS)

(KNOCKING ON DOOR)

(DOOR OPENS)

Hey.
How you doing?

Okay.

Dad's pretty
pissed, huh?

Well, I think he's
worried about you.

But he loves you.
We both do.

Always will, no
matter what happens.

I need to ask
you something.

Did you really swerve the car
to avoid hitting that dog?

No.

Why'd you do that, honey?

It was a stupid, stupid,
stupid decision. I just...

I didn't know
what else to do.

And I'm sorry,
and I will pay

for whatever it costs
to fix the car.

It's not
about the money.

I'm not talking
about the money.

I'm talking about what are these
choices that you are making?

I understand that the choices
that I have been making recently

have not been
the brightest,

but I feel like I just jumped
into this whole college thing.

It was way too premature, and
maybe I should go traveling.

Maybe I should
go to Europe.

Maybe this whole thing isn't me.
Honey, honey, honey.

No.

You're not running
away from anything.

You are an adult
right now.

You need to think
about your choices,

and you need to take
responsibility for them.

That is what you do.

That is the girl
that I raised.

I just don't
understand why Billy

wouldn't let me say hi to Tim
for, like, five minutes.

I just wanted
to say hi.

Oh, my God, Becky, 'cause
it's a prison and not a dorm.

I know that.

Okay, you know what?
I really feel like

you need to put your
focus somewhere else.

Release a little tension.

With someone.

Sex?

(LAUGHS) Oh.

I don't know.

Well, what about that cutie
farm boy, Luke? He's hot.

Yeah, I've kind of been there,
and that didn't go so well.

You dated him?

Well, we didn't
exactly date. It's...

It's a long story.

Okay.

Good, 'cause I think someone your
age should have a boyfriend.

Or 12.
(LAUGHS)

Mmm, winner.

Mmm-mmm, rhinestones
make me look trashy.

(LAUGHS)

SPIVEY: Roll back!
Roll back!

Come off the ball, now!
Let's go!

VINCE: Hut!
Down here! Down here!

(WHISTLE BLOWING)

Come on! You gotta get off
your block and make a tackle!

Hey, that kid didn't even
play football last year,

and he's taking
you out of the play.

What the hell's
the matter with you?

I don't know.
Why don't you ask the Kingmaker?

I'm asking you!

Coach, it's like
we're going half-speed.

You want to run 'em, maybe
get their mind right?

You do me a favor?

Sure.

Finish up this practice.

All right.

(INDISTINCT CHATTERING)

PLAYER: Where's he going?

CROWLEY: All right,
call it again.

Same set. Go again.
Same set.

PLAYERS: Go!

Did you know he was
married and had a wife?

(SIGHS)

Let's have
a look.

What the hell is this?

Yo, where the rest
of my money?

That's all I can get.
I'm working on it.

You working on it?
Man, where the rest of my money, man?

You gonna get your
money, all right?

Just get off my ass a little.
Yo, yo, hold that down.

I own your ass.
Remember that.

I ain't one of your fans
over there at the field.

You gonna come up
off my money, man.

Hey, man, you gonna
get your money, all right?

So just take that
and step off.

I got a lot of people
watching my back.

You gonna be sorry you
ever messed with me.

What are
you doing?

Just finishing up
with some things.

You're
hiding.

I'm not
hiding.

Well, I don't blame you.
It's a little strange in there right now.

What do we know
about this guy?

Nothing.

She's running
away from him.

Doesn't seem like
true love to me.

Our daughter slept with
another woman's husband.

She doesn't seem to understand
her actions at all.

She seems to be
in complete denial.

Maybe what she needs is
a good kick in the ass.

Well, that's
probably true.

I don't know
that girl in there.

Yeah, you do.

But she needs her
parents right now.

Morning.
Morning.

GRACIE: Good morning.

Good morning.

Here's what
we're gonna do.

I'm gonna call the
mechanic this morning.

I'm gonna have
him fix that car.

I'm gonna pay
for it myself,

and then you're
gonna pay me back,

because it was
your responsibility.

When that car shows up
here this afternoon,

you're gonna get in that car,
and you're gonna go to school.

GRACIE: Wanna go outside?

Okay.

(GRACIE MUTTERING)

I'll see you later this afternoon.
All right, honey.

See you.

TAMI: Bye.
Have a good one.

(DOOR CLOSES)

HASTINGS: Rip 61, X Choice.
What's my read?

Look, Hastings, just
get open, all right?

I'll throw you the ball.
Just catch it.

Touchdown.

I think what QB One
is trying to say

is that your read's the
free safety, all right?

If he stays deep,
you run a hook,

and if he comes back, then
you run the slant. Right?

All right, Luke, you
know your stuff. Yeah.

Keep working on that arm,
maybe you be QB One one day.

Yeah, maybe I should be. Then I'd have
TMU all over my ass instead of yours,

and I'd be on
magazine covers, huh?

Yo, dude,
you all right?

They came after me.
You asked me to go to that game.

I didn't have anything
to do with this.

I'm aware of
what happened.

You've told me about five million
times, that's how I know.

Well, I thought I was doing you a favor.
We're boys, right?

How are you doing me a favor by
taking my scholarship, Vince?

I took your scholarship?
Do you hear this guy?

Thanks, man.
Thank you.

If you need help,
come ask me.

If you was mine, you wouldn't
be taking out no trash.

All right, get...
Where you going?

Don't touch me!
Where you going?

Get off of me!
Where you going?

Now, your boy
owe me money.

He's trying to
get your money.

He ain't trying
to end up by no trying.

It needs to get done.

Otherwise, buildings might
start bursting into flames.

Yeah, it's a barbecue joint.
Lot of grease, baby.

All it takes
is one match.

(LAUGHS)

Best smelling
burn job ever.

TAYLOR: (ON TV) I have
never seen a kid

with more fortitude
than Tim Riggins.

No fear.

LUKE: Becky!

(CLEARS THROAT)

Becky.

One second, chief.
Hold on.

Is Becky here?

Uh, no, no.
She's with Mindy right now.

Well, I gotta...
I really gotta talk to her.

She's not here.
All right.

She's with Mindy.
They'll be back in a little while.

Where you going?
Tell her that...

Tell her that I need
to talk to her, okay?

Are you drunk?

Yeah.

We got a game
tomorrow, Cafferty!

You think that's
a good idea?

It doesn't matter.

Whoa, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa.

Where the hell you
think you're going?

I'm all right.
No, you're not all right

and you're not driving like...
Hey, come here!

You're not driving like this right now.
You hear me?

Get your ass inside,
all right?

I'm taking out the trash,
I turn around,

and that little twerp is right
here up against my face.

He grabs me and he throws me
up against the trash can.

I literally am
struggling to get away.

He put his hands on you? Yeah.

All right. I'm going
to handle him.

(STAMMERING) I'm about
to call the cops.

No. No, no, no, no.
Just give me a chance, okay?

Give me a chance
to make things right.

I'm gonna
take care of it.

Look, I know that
look in your eyes.

Look, we gotta
call the cops, okay?

We gotta just tell them what happened.
We can't go to the cops!

We gonna have
to go to somebody.

Somebody. I don't know.
Talk to somebody.

Maybe Coach.
Somebody.

I'm gonna
handle it.

Lock the door.
And I'm gonna handle it.

Period.

Lock the door.

(DOOR CLOSES)

MALE MANAGER: Lexxxie, to the stage.
Amber, you're on deck.

Hi, monster!

Hey, Mama.
Hi.

We were just talking
about how good you are.

How'd you do?

Um, good.
Not the best night, not the worst.

Looks like
you did good.

You're not gonna be one of those
boys that comes in here, are you?

Who are the guys
that come in here?

Everybody. Anybody.

(EXCLAIMS) Come here!

Wanna see Mama?

Hello.

You, by the way,
are super awesome

for coming in here
and doing this.

Yeah, I don't mind.

I mean, I don't mind making
extra money to help Billy,

but I don't like
being away from him.

(MINDY WHISPERING)

(STEVIE COOING)

(STEVIE CRYING)

Oh.
The hell with TMU.

So they came after you
to get to Vince.

So what?
Who cares?

So, bye-bye,
scholarship.

When's the last time you actually
enjoyed playing football?

Were you worried
about scholarships

when you were eight years old?
No.

You were playing because
you loved the game, right?

You gotta go back to that place
where this game used to be fun.

Where it used to be
a joy every single day

to strap on those pads
and put on that helmet.

All right.
Hey, listen to something.

Okay.

(SCREAMING)

What was that?

That's a war cry,
mofo, all right?

That's what
you gotta have.

Now, I may have been the
smallest guy on my team,

but I played with heart.
You gotta get your heart back into the game.

'Cause right now, you
don't have any heart.

(SPITS) Let me
hear your war cry.

Okay.

Ow.

Hold on.
Hold on a second.

What are you doing?

Hold on a second.

I'm gonna call
Coach Assface at TMU.

Okay, yeah. Good.
Ass.

Now we're talking.
That's playing with heart.

Hey, tell him,
"You know what, Coach?

"I want you to eat
the corn out of my turds."

That's what you
should tell him.

I don't think
I should say that.

Well, hey, it's your call, but, I
mean, you gotta say something.

Hey, Coach!
Hey, Mr. TMU!

This is Luke Cafferty, the guy
you think isn't good enough.

Well, I gotta tell
you something, Coach.

That I got heart.
Listen, listen!

(SCREAMING)

(SCREAMING)

Nice.
Whoo!

That's it! All right? (LAUGHING)

ORNETTE: Glad you came
to me with this, Son.

How much you
into him for?

Five grand.

He gave me till Friday.

(GROANS)
That ain't no time.

You did good, okay?

Getting that money to look
after your mama, you did good.

Yeah, but now what?

Used to be Kennard wasn't nothing
but a little corner boy.

Little punk.

Got himself a little gun,
uh-huh, a little rep.

Surprised he ain't
record a rap album yet.

Hey, you smoke, man?

Nah.

That's good.

It's a nasty habit.

I'm going to
take care of it.

Now on, you ain't nothing
but football, hear me?

Yes, sir.

All right, then.

Dad, I don't want you doing
nothing to mess up your parole.

Nah, man, you know, I'm
gonna call in a few favors,

pull the money together,
you know, and pay him off.

That's it.

I still got a few friends
up in this town.

Don't worry
about it.

Thanks.
I appreciate it.

You ain't gotta
appreciate nothing.

'Cause of me, your mama got
caught up in all this mess.

You got her out.

I'll always
owe you for that.

It's handled.

(GROANING)

(SIGHS)

JULIE: Mom, I told you,
I'm not going. No.

It's time for you to be responsible.
Let's go. Car's packed up.

I'm not going.
I know what I said, but I'm not going.

TAYLOR: The car's packed.
It's time to go.

I've got a game to go to.
I don't have time for this.

Well, then go to your game.
I need to figure out my plan.

I need to maybe go to a
different college or...

No, you need to
take responsibility.

JULIE: Maybe even a community
college, maybe Texas Tech, or...

TAMI: No, this is what
you gotta do.

I am not... Dad, I am not going back.
Come on.

I am not going to go!
Let go of me!

Come here. Come here.
Let go! No!

Eric! Eric!
Eric! Eric!

Come here!
TAMI: Stop it!

TAYLOR: Get in the car!

(THROWS KEYS)

(CHATTERING)

Maybe something horrible
happened to him.

No, it's Coach Taylor.

I never seen him
leave practice before,

much less
be late to a game.

He said he'll be here,
he'll be here.

(KEYS JANGLING)

You've got a game
to go to.

I know.

We got, like, 10
minutes to kickoff.

STAN: We gotta
do something.

Let's take
'em out.

You want me
to do it?

Yep. Spivey,
get 'em up.

CROWLEY: Come on, Coach,
you got this.

SPIVEY: Take a knee.
Let's go.

Everybody,
listen up.

Um...

So, Coach ain't here,
um, and I ain't Coach.

So this is
what you get.

Men, it's Friday night.

It's Friday night
in our house.

And these fellas in the
locker room next to us,

they want to come in here, and they
want to dance around on our field

and think they can
walk off with a win.

They want to have
a party in our house.

Well, I say we
give 'em a fistfight.

I say we go out there, and we
play 48 minutes of Lion football!

PLAYERS: Yeah!

Like we know
how to play!

PLAYERS: Yeah!

And we leave it all
on the field tonight!

PLAYERS: Yeah!

So, you cinch up your laces,

put more tape on your
hands if you need it,

and you make sure that
helmet's on good and tight,

and you hurt the first son
of a bitch you see tonight.

PLAYERS: All right! Yeah!

Let's go kick some ass.

(ALL CLAMORING)

It's a good job.

Gentlemen, I apologize
for being late.

Let's go play
some football.

(ALL EXCLAIMING)

(ALL CHEERING)

Hey, fellas, listen up!
Listen up!

You hear that?

This is it right here,
right now.

Who you are on
that field tonight

is who you're gonna be for the
rest of your life, fellas.

I know you know
that to be true.

Let's go show 'em
some pride.

(ALL EXCLAIM)

(CROWD CHEERING)

Hey, you're
missing the game.

This ain't
gonna take long.

That's what
I like to hear.

I ain't got
your money.

What the hell you call
me here for then?

Settle this business
with my boy.

I'm going to tell you
just like I told your boy.

And that high yella
bitch he knocking off.

Till I get all my money,
ain't a damn thing settled.

(GRUNTS)

(GRUNTING)

(KENNARD WHEEZES)

prison a long time, boy.

You think I'm
scared of you?

(GROANING)

You crumbs

the best player of the game,

Mr. Luke Cafferty!
Come on up, Luke!

(ALL CHEERING)

Way to go, Luke!
Let's hear that roar! Yeah!

(LIVELY BLUES MUSIC PLAYING)

Hey, Cafferty,
come here.

What's up,
Coach?

Hell of a game tonight.
Yes, sir.

I'm gonna take credit for
everything that you did tonight.

And I'm going to live off
that for a little while.

All right,

We're not over yet, all right?
All right.

We're gonna get this
thing worked out,

and by the time
we're done,

we're gonna get you

to any school you want to
go to in this country.

I'm taking you

Under this wing right here.
Come here. All right? (GROANS)

Coach, you smell, man.

Breathe it in, little bird.
Breathe it in.

All right.

MINDY: Your hottie farm boy
keeps looking over at you.

BECKY: Yeah?

Yeah, I kind of
think he wants you.

So, seriously, you're telling
me that could never happen.

I don't know. It's...

Luke's great and everything.
It's just he's not...

Tim Riggins?

No.

Oh, baby girl, you know, you are
not Tim Riggins' girlfriend.

(LAUGHS) I know that.

Do you know that
I am sure he said

a lot of really
pretty things to you,

and he also says a lot of really pretty
things to every pretty girl he sees?

When he gets out of prison, he's
not gonna be with any of them,

and he's not gonna
be with you, right?

Yeah.

Okay, screw this.

Mindy.
No, just wait.

BECKY: Oh, boy.

Hello, hi,
how are you?

BILLY: Hey, whoa,
whoa, whoa, whoa!

We're in the middle of
having a conversation here.

MINDY: I'm sure you...
Well, it's very important.

Hi. Kids, um, I don't know what's going
on between you, and I don't really care,

but you need
to get over it,

because you're both young,
and you're both hot,

and you both
need to get laid.

So I'm gonna go back over
there with my husband,

and you two can stay here
and screw like bunnies,

but, you know, be safe
and use protection

and all that mommy
talk, and, um, enjoy.

You're totally
welcome, by the way.

(STAMMERING) I didn't
tell her to say that.

I promise I didn't say
anything to her about that.

(LAUGHING)

(REGINA LAUGHING)
