Billy: [about Lyla] You're a rebound from Jesus.
Tim: No, I'm not a rebound.
Billy: You're a summer fling.
Tim: I don't believe that.

Billy: [Looking at the to-do list that Jason has just made them for the Garrity house] Why do we have to do all the stuff upstairs?
Jason: [sitting in his wheelchair next to Herc] I'm gonna pretend you didn't just ask that.

Billy: [raising his glass] I love this life.
Tim: What? That's not a cheers, that's thinking out loud.
Jason: To money!
Billy: To being bad ass real estate guys.

Coach Taylor: [about the game] I have no idea what's gonna happen tomorrow, babe.
Tami: Well, you're gonna win. Or you're gonna lose. Either way the sun's gonna come up the next morning.

Coach Taylor: [after the game] I wanted everyone's friends and family to be in here to hear this, gentlemen. I have never been more proud of a team than I am right now. I am in awe of each and every one of you gentlemen. [Long pause] You played great football tonight. This is the game that people are gonna talk about for years to come. This is the game you are gonna talk about. There's not a single person in this room that's ever gonna be the same. You be proud of yourselves. Because gentlemen, you are champions.

Coach Taylor: [Defending his coaching contract at the board meeting] I did not want to be here today. Here I am. I love my job. I'm good at it, and I'd like to keep it. I love this school, I love the kids, and I feel like I've just gotten started here. There's some people here who want to replace me, for a man with an awful lot of money and a boy with a good arm. To those people I would say: you're wrong. You are dead wrong. Y'all have a good Saturday.

Coach Taylor: [giving a half-time pep talk] Y'all want to end this season? Pack your bags and go home...you know where the door is. Otherwise I suggest you wake up, get your heads in this game. This defense is not gonna carry this team all night long. This offense has got to execute, or else I'll guarantee you our season ends tonight. Understood? I can't hear you.

Coach Taylor: [trying to reassure a worried Matt who's been watching J.D. practice] You listen to me. That is not my quarterback, you are my quarterback. You understand that? I want you concentrating on Friday night. You go out there and you play with what we've taught you and what you know everything is gonna go just fine.
Matt: Yes, sir.

Coach Taylor: I need a drink.
Tami: We've got wine at the house.
Coach Taylor: I need a scotch flavored drink.
Tami: Let me call Jules.

Coach Taylor: There's no doubt that J.D. McCoy, he wins when it comes to physical skills. I understand that. Hell, he's got the best arm of any high school quarterback I've ever seen. And that includes Jason Street. And then you've got Matt. Hell, Matt's got the experience. He's got three seasons under his belt. The team knows how to play with Matt. I know what I've got with Matt Saracen.
Tami: That's a hard decision, babe.
Coach Taylor: After everything that kid's been through, I bench him half way through his senior year? It'll kill him.
Tami: I know. And he's like family.
Coach Taylor: I can't make a decision based on that.

Grandma Saracen: I saw that game tonight. You played great, you just played great.
Matt: [heavy-heartedly] Thanks.
Grandma Saracen: You've always loved football, Matty. I remember when you were two years old, you were trying to throw a football and it was bigger than you were. And you were such a sweet baby, such a sweet, sweet baby. But here you are all grown up taking care of everything. I don't know what I'd do without you. I don't know. Matthew? I love you.
Matt: I know. I, I love you, too, grandma. [She starts crying] Grandma, hey. [Matt hugs her]
Grandma Saracen: You are such a good boy.
Matt: That's because I was raised by you.

Jason: [at the bank] I'm pretty sure that I don't have to explain to you what's at stake, Billy. And I'm also pretty sure I don't have to explain to you that tellin' somebody something's liquid when it's not quite liquid is a pretty dumbass thing to do!
Billy: Hey! Let's not start with the name callin'. Otherwise, I'll walk right outta here. It's not fair. And I can't punch you. You're in a wheelchair.
Jason: Oh, I'll swing back! Just ask your brother. You wanna take this outside, shorty?

Jason: [to Tim] What are you doing out of school? [to Billy] What did you write him a note or something?
Tim: I told them I was pregnant. Need a few days to relax.

Jason: Do you think I could make it somewhere else? Like as a sports agent? Do you think I'd be good at it?
Lyla: You're leaving.
Jason: I didn't say that.
Lyla: You didn't have to. I think you'd be a great sports agent.

Jason: What single characteristic as a football player do you think defines Tim Riggins?
Coach Taylor: Toughness. I have never seen a kid with more fortitude than Tim Riggins. No fear.
