Tim Riggins quotes from Friday Night Lights

Tim

What do you do?

Uh, okay, I know this.

Tim

Too late, play's over. You waited too long to make a decision and now we lost the game 'cause of you. We're not going to State and the whole town of Dillon hates you. You're never gonna get laid your entire life. Fact.

What are you doing Tim Riggins?

Tim

I'm fixing my truck.

Well, I'm Bo Miller; I'm your new next door neighbor.

Tim

Ok.

And you're Tim Riggins number 33 who single handedly led the Panthers to the semi's. What happened to your eye? Are you gonna be able to play in the semi's?

Tim

Can you shut up?

I don't know can I?

Tim

Stop please, I'm gonna need you to shut up. Cause I'm incredibly hung over right now.

What does that mean?

Tim

You're going to need to go home, okay, thank you.

I think if you ignore the bully the bully will go away

Tim

Know what, man? No offense, but if you ignore the bully, he's gonna kick your ass even more.

How do you know? Were you bullied in the fourth grade?

Tim

No, I was the bully.

Matt

[protests] I got a lot of crap going on right now. I don't need another problem, ok?

Smash

[jokingly] You got troubles, Matty? What you got, QB1?

Jason

[teases] Saracen's got a little something on his mind, fellas.

Smash

Aww, you got troubles, Matty? Come on, talk to the Smash. I'll help you out.

Matt

Just sayin'....

Smash

Look, you wanna see troubles, look at me. [mutters] Crazy Waverly.

Tim

We comparing girl problems now? I just tried to make out with my next-door neighbor who is at least in her mid-thirties. [Smash and Matt all stare at him] Pretty much got put through the wall for that one. So I think I win.

Jason

[deadpan] No. Chair says I win. Every time. [chuckles]

Smash

He got that.

Tim

Six wins.

Billy

That kid calling you Daddy, yet?

Tim

Uh uh, doesn't know anything about it.

Billy

I might not have a PhD in stupid like you do, but I'm a tell you right now this is gonna turn out badly, hell is probably gonna end badly right around State.

Tim

You look good, real good...

Lyla

Thanks, that's probably because yesterday I was baptized and accepted Jesus as my Lord and Savior. What did you do recently, Tim?

Tim

Uh, I had a threeway with the Stratton sisters...

Jason

Missed you at practice today, Riggs.

Tim

Well, yeah. Doc told me to rest, so I'm resting.

Jason

Yeah, did he prescribe a 12 pack, too?

Tim

No, that was me.

Lyla

You should try practice without a hangover. I hear it's a entirely different game.

Tim

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm afraid of.

Tim

[After Jason bails Tim out of jail in Mexico] Sweet, Six. Took you long enough. Now those gals are probably gone.

Jason

Shut your mouth, Riggins! I should have left you in there all damn night. Sad sorry ass! I'm not supposed to be spending my money on your bail.

Tim

Yeah, it's my fault we find the only honest cop in Mexico.

Jason

Shut your ass, Riggins! You know this money's for my surgery. It's not for your damn bail.

Tim

What's your problem, Six?

Jason

You know what? I came down here for a reason, all right? I know you think it's stupid, but guess what--it's not. You go ahead and get loaded tonight and catch syphilis from whatever skanky jailbait, random hooker or whore you can find on the street, but I'm going back to the hotel! [wheels himself away]

Tim

Can you at least buy me a couple of tacos?

Tim

Hey, what are you doing?

Lyla

I'm, leaving, Tim.

Tim

What do you mean "You're leaving?"

Lyla

I'm just... I'm going.

Tim

Why?

Lyla

Because: You guys just think it is a big joke.

Tim

I don't think think it's a big joke, Lyla.

Lyla

Really? All you've done is going to whorehouses and karaoke bars.

Tim

Yeah, what else do you do in Mexico, Garrity?

Lyla

You're an idiot. You think this is easy for me? You call me down here to help, and Jason didn't even know I was coming, you have no plan whatsoever...

Tim

Actually yes, as the matter of fact, I do have a plan. Guess what? It's right here.

Lyla

Oh really, what's your plan, Tim?

Tim

Yeah.

Lyla

A BOOZE CRUISE? THIS is your plan?

Tim

Yeah, a booze cruise. All inclusive meal, snorkeling, dolphins. Yeah. A booze cruise. I thought it'll be good time to chat to him on the boat. What?

Lyla

You think that: Way to talk to have a conversation with someone who's about to make the biggest mistake is his life is by taking him on a booze cruise?

Tim

Yeah, kind of, sort of.

Lyla

[scoffs and shakes her head]

Tim

What?

Lyla

I don't even know what it'd begin to tell you how distorted your view of the world is.

Tim

I'm distorted, my view's distorted? Really?

Lyla

Yeah, really, Tim.

Tim

Alright, that's great. Oh, that's great. I'm not the one...

Lyla

Really?

Tim

Yeah, yeah. I may as screwed up as you're saying, and that's fine, go with that. But at least I'm by Jay's side. At least I'm going through WHATEVER it is we're gonna go through together. I'll take him back in a BOX to Texas if I have to, Lyla. You? The second you're suss, you're ready to get on the next plane to Texas. That kind of sucks, for Jay AND for me. You know what? You know I'm right. You just won't admit it. I sin daily and I'm a better Christian than you, Garrity.

Lyla

Fine, I'll go on your stupid 'booze cruise'. You'd better man up and have a conversation with him. This is an intervention, Tim, and I can't do it by myself.

Jason

You can have it all, but you can't have it all at once, so you take your memories where you can get'em. Right, Riggs?

Tim

Absolutely. Here's to many more memories. Happy birthday, Six.

Tim

What did I get you last year, Six?

Jason

Nothing. And I expect nothing from you this year either. The last time you actually gave me something, it was your brother's pool cue, you didn't tell him about it and he threatened to beat me up unless I gave it back to him. [chuckles at the memory] So, I'm gonna try not to get anything from you this year.

Tim

[amused to see Smash in his house] What's up?

Smash

Hey look, I want you to come over for dinner tonight. My momma'll cook.

Tim

[feigns horror] Are you asking me out on a date, Williams?

I jumped to conclusions. I'm well aware of what happened the other night. I apologize. I was wrong.

Tim Riggins

It's fine, coach.

No, it's not fine.I couldn't have mishandled it any worse, and I apologize. The last couple weeks have been giving you hell. And not once, have you come to me and complained. And then... Then you got it where you protected my daughter, and you're not letting me think bad of her. And again, you don't say a word. Not a word. And I'll tell you something, not as a coach, but as a father... You realize what an honorable thing that is? That is very honorable.

Tim Riggins

Thank you, sir.

All right. Rest this weekend.

Tim Riggins

Will do, coach.

Tim

Hey.

Lyla

Hey.

Tim

How are you?

Lyla

Good.

Tim

Uh, two things. Thank you, for kind of kicking my ass in gear, cause I know I needed it. And I kind of owe tonight to you. And two, I'm okay if you don't tell anyone about us. As long as this works with you.

Lyla

Wow.

Tim

Alright. [walks away]

Lyla

Tim.

Tim

Yeah [turns around]
