Jason: What's been your favorite memory of your brother playing football?
Billy: Probably watching him get that ring back in '06. Yeah, after all we've been through together, um, to see him win state, that was, that was probably the happiest day of my life. I was just really proud of him.

Jason: When success is essential to keeping a family together there is nothing a man won't do. Nothing.

Julie: [after she gets her dad to consider moving Matt to wide receiver] So me being your girlfriend - does that entitle me to like ten percent of your endorsements?
Matt: No it doesn't.
Julie: We should set up a contract now.

Landry: [about learning his new "girlfriend"is actually gay] Okay, I'm gonna go let this sink in because I don't know how to react right now.

Landry: Can I say something?
Tyra: Mm-hum.
Landry: Most, most girls that look like you do, things are easy, they can just coast by on their good looks for the rest of their lives and not really have to, not really have to worry. I mean, I know it sounds stupid, but I'm, I'm proud of how hard you've been working for this it, I mean, it says something. I just, I think good things are gonna happen to you, you just have to keep going.
Tyra: Thank you. [pause] Still think I'm good looking though, right?
Landry: You've still, you've still, you've.. you know, yeah. I think you're still okay.
[Tyra starts to laugh]
Tyra: Okay? Thanks. Grr. [She fake threaten him with the knife she is holding]

Landry: Have you ever read the book The Giving Tree?
Tyra: Yeah, when I was like five.
Landry: It's about this tree who loves this boy more than anything, right? And the boy just takes and takes and takes until there's absolutely nothing left but a stump. And I'm like the tree and you're the boy - just take and take and take, and there's absolutely nothing left Tyra. That's exactly what I feel like. Just a stump. Because this is not a friendship. You're selfish. It's not a friendship.

Landry: I don't want to step on your fingers or anything but you might want to slice those a little thinner because cucumber sandwiches are pretty delicate.
Tyra: Really?
Landry: Did I just lose a lot of man points for that?
Tyra: Yeah you did.
Landry: Did I tell you I'm in a band though?
Tyra: See that's like 40,000 man points right there.

Landry: Mrs. Taylor, can I ask you like...can I talk to you a second?
Tami: Sure.
Landry: I'm starting to feel like I have some sort of repellent that repels females away and sends them running.
Tami: Mmhmm.
Landry: I was in love with Tyra for a long time and I chased her away and then there was another girl and I completely chased her away...it was a lot quicker.
Tami: Here's the thing, and I know it's probably not easy to see here in Dillon, but you are at the beginning of your life. A lot of these football heroes around here, they're not gonna get much farther than this. But you're gonna go to some great college and have a career that you love. And I'm telling you right now, women are gonna flock to you. I know it's hard to believe, but that's how it's gonna work. You're a good person and this is just the beginning. I'm right one hundred percent of the time. You can ask my husband.

Landry: Please tell me the lesson you've learned.
Matt: Always lock the door.
Landry: When having sex with the Coach's daughter.

Landry: Tyra, do you want to remind me again why Mindy thinks that it's a good idea to have a party outside in December?
Tyra: Yeah, remind me again why my sister thinks it's a good idea to marry Billy Riggins?
Landry: That is a good point.
Tyra: That's a really good point.

Landry: You obviously don't believe any of what you're saying.
Tyra: Fine Landry, why don't you tell me what to write?
Landry: I don't, this is your essay, I don't...
Tyra: What, should I write about? My trashy family, about the fact that my sister's a stripper, or my mom is a high school drop out who drinks boxes of wine like it's water? Or about the fact that I lost my virginity when I was thirteen, or the fact that my papa wasn't around? How about that? Oh, I know. I could write about how up until two years ago I had enough hate in my heart to start a freaking car.
Landry: What changed?
Tyra: What?
Landry: What changed? Why did you stop having enough hate in your heart to start a freaking car?
Tyra: Jason Street got paralyzed. I realized that he was this great guy - this hero, and it happened to him. It made me realize that life isn't fair for anybody. Not just me.

Lyla: [discussing college] Did you really get in?
Tim: Yeah, only Riggins to get in, probably the last.
Lyla: I knew you would.
'Tim: I'm in because of you. [Leans in to kiss Lyla] Oh wow. Mmm...are you on a bender right now? I almost got a buzz off your breath there just now. Like, I don't think it's safe for me to drive right now. And for me to say that - it's a lot.
Lyla: I'm sorry...
Tim: Don't be. It's fantastic. [kisses her] I'll get drunk with you. I'm on board.

Lyla: [walks in on Tim and Billy drinking] You're drunk right now? You have your meeting in like fifteen minutes.
Tim: I was just trying to help Billy mend his broken heart.

Lyla: What do you want?
Buddy: What I want is for you to come home. This is no excuse for you to play house with your boyfriend.
Lyla: You're gonna lecture me on morals?
Buddy: Honey, we can work this out.
Lyla: How are we gonna work it out? You're $20,000 in the hole for tearing up a strip club. What are you gonna do? Rob a bank?

Matt: I'm just trying to worry about beating Arnett Mead on Friday. That's all I wanna be thinking about, okay? And, and that's hard. I don't know if you're aware, but we never beat Arnett Mead. I mean, not even Jason Street ever beat Arnett Mead ever, okay? So, I'm trying to worry about that, meantime I got some freshman named Joe Doyle breathing down my neck and it's - look, if I hear anyone talk about this 70 yard pass he threw like ever again I'm gonna lose it because I don't even care. It was in practice, it wasn't defenders, it was no- I can throw a ball 70 yards if no one's like, running at me. It's harder to do - Sorry, you don't care about this.
Julie: No, I do care.
Matt: No, you shouldn't. I'm just, I'm just ranting. I apologize.
Julie: You're really adorable when you rant.
