Lyla Garrity quotes from Friday Night Lights

Lyla

I have a life, too.

Jason

I know.

Lyla

No, sometimes I don't think you care about that anymore, or you think it's lame and it scares me.

Jason

No, that's not it at all.

Lyla

I just think that we're too young, right now and we're rushing into this and I don't want to make a mistake.

Jason

Message received, Lyla. Loud and clear.

Jason

You're funny when your drunk.

Lyla

It's not funny Jason when you drive all the way from Dillon, and you find your boyfriend with people that scare you, and getting tattoos from sexy girls.

Lyla

It's not funny. It's not funny, Jason. It's not funny. You're changing, and it is so real. And I'm not changing with you. We're never gonna last because I'm not changing with you.

Jason

Oh, I'm sorry... Lyla.

Lyla

[crying] I don't know...

Jason

Look, I'm sorry...

Lyla

It's okay. No, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay, because you know what? It's bigger than us--

Jason

Nothing is bigger than us Lyla! Nothing is bigger than us. Nothing is bigger than the love I have for you in my heart. Nothing is bigger than that. And I'm not holding on to you anymore because you're all I have left, I'm holding on you because I love you and I need you in my life. And I'm not giving you up with out a fight. And I'm not letting you go. I love you.

Lyla

Why'd you do it? Why didn't you think about it Dad?

Buddy

Lyla, your dad's a sinner, I'm a weak man, but it was one mistake. I swear Lyla, I will never, ever do anything to hurt this family again honey. I swear.

Lyla

Why haven't you called? It doesn't look like you're busy, it looks like you're watching TV. Listen I know it may be a lot to ask of you to call me so that I know if we are engaged or boyfriend and girlfriend or really good pals.

Jason

Get off my back, Lyla. What do I have right now, huh? I got a girlfriend who cheated on me. I got parents that are breaking up because of some stupid lawsuit. I lost the Coach, lost the team, lost my friends, lost Quad Rugby. So I got nothing, so I'm sorry if I'm not being the perfect boyfriend right now but I got a lot more on my mind then powder puff and prom, and this cup is way too full; I'll spill it you know that.

Lyla

[throws cup of water on Jason] No it's not too full.

Jason

What the hell was that for?!

Lyla

You think it's been easy for me helping you in and out of that chair.

Jason

Well no one is holding a gun to your head.

Lyla

I do it because I love you stupid, but now you're sitting here feeling sorry for yourself and acting like a jackass all the time. You wanna play Rugby find another team; you hate this lawsuit so much find a way to make it go away. Next time you want a glass of water, say please.

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...

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.

Lyla

[seeing Santiago walking out of the reform school] Hey, if this is your escape plan, it needs work. [drives up next to him] I was just kidding. I heard you got out. Congratulations.

Yeah, I'm on probation now. Congratulations!

Lyla

[to herself] Okay. [drives to Santiago and opens door to offer him a ride]

What are you tryin' to do?

Lyla

I-I'm puttin' my money where my mouth is. Come on.

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 ever notice that no one ever changes in this town? Nothing ever changes. Everybody goes to the same church or...same job, same restaurants. Everybody goes to the football game on Friday night. It's like this huge fish tank we're all stuck in and you can't find a way out. I'm kinda...I'm stuck. I'm stuck. [...] I'm not here to talk to God, I'm here to talk to you. 'Cause out of everyone I know, you're just about the only one that's changed their life and I admire it and I just wondered how you did it.

Lyla

You just do it.

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]

Tim

You know what, you know what the problem really is? Is that you don't take me seriously. I'm some fling to you.

Lyla

You're not a fling.

Tim

Okay, then what's the problem? [pause]: Shoot.

Lyla

Okay. You want to know what the problem is Tim? You scare me.

Tim

I scare you.

Lyla

Yeah, you scare me. You're Tim Riggins. You show up drunk to school. You don't do your own homework. You have rally girls do your homework for you. You don't go to class. Your relationships last about 20 minutes. How am I suppose to take you seriously if you don't take yourself seriously?

Lyla

Ok, take it off, take it off, come on.

Tim

Lyla, I know how to dress myself.

Lyla

No, you only know how to put on a plaid shirt and button one button.

Tim

You know what would be great? We just leave, cause I don't wanna go to this dinner in the first place.

Lyla

Yeah well, if you only did what you wanted to do, your life would be all about football, beer, and sex, wouldn't it?

Tim

And what's the problem with that?

Lyla

I didn’t know you googled.

Tim

I’m not retarded. I google.

Lyla

Yeah I know but sometimes you pretend you are.

Tim

You are coming over tomorrow night, correct?

Lyla

Mindy and Angela are gonna be there.

Tim

[confused] OK, no Mindy, what.. No.

Lyla

I don't know if you notice or not, but Mindy and Angela hate me.

Tim

What? They don't hate you. They don't even know you. If they did, they'd love you. And you know what? Somebody wants his girlfriend to be there. Okay? And you know what? If they even look at you wrong, and you don't see it, and I do? I'm gonna blindside them with the worst block they'll have ever seen. So what I want from you right now is for you to say, "Yes, Tim, I can't wait to see you and hang out with you tomorrow night".

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.
