Julie quotes from Friday Night Lights

Julie

Moby Dick is actually the perfect metaphor for this town. The cold black sea representing the season in all its uncertainties. The magical white whale is the Holy Grail.

Julie

[tackles Matt Saracen and kisses him] I'll always love you no matter what happens.

Julie

So, do you think you're gonna start?

Matt

Uh..I don't know. Well, that's the coach's decision. You know, whatever he decides, I'm there for. But I've been working hard so I'm ready, I feel good about it. I just---you know whatever he feels is best for the team, that's--that's what I'm ready to do, so...

Julie

Dude, you need to chill out. I'm not ESPN.

You know what I heard once? I heard that a daughter is supposed to be a comfort and a blessing to her father.

Julie

Texas isn't even a state. Technically it's a Republic. It'd be nice to live somewhere that's actually a part of this planet.

Julie

H-Hey.

Matt

Hey, wh-what's going on?

Julie

Not much, is this the safe zone?

Matt

Yeah, I know. These people are crazy.

Julie

So, it must feel pretty good winning the big homecoming game and all.

Matt

Will you go on a date with me?

Julie

Umm.

Matt

Maybe, or not, I mean--I just thought I'd throw that out there. But it's, it's probably a bad idea.

Matt

Have you, um, you haven't maybe thought about um, maybe, what I, what I asked you the other night about maybe going out.

Julie

Uh, yeah, yeah. I'm considering.

Matt

Considering.

Julie

I-I just--

Matt

No, no. That's great.

All right, listen up. I'm supposed to give you some fatherly and wise advice at this time in your life. Listen up, if you're wondering if a boy's thinking about you, he's not. He's thinking about sex or he's hungry, those are the only two options.

Julie

Are you trying to be funny?

No, I'm not finished, listen to me. Boys think about sex every single minute of the day. That's what they do, that's why they lie. They're gonna leave you waiting around for them to call and they won't call. They're gonna be cruel and they're gonna be misleading, and your mother wanted me to add this, that by in large football players are the worst offenders, however, I think that it pretty much crosses all lines.

Julie

Are you done?

You are beautiful, you are sensitive, you are sweet and I don't want to see you get hurt.

Julie

I love you too, dad.

You're a lousy ping-pong player, though.

Julie

[about Coach Taylor] Don't worry. He's all bark and no bite. Most of the time. How about uh you come over tomorrow night?

Matt

I mean, is that gonna be OK with your Mom and your Dad? ‘Cause I don't know--if...

Julie

Matt, you gotta get out of that mindset, otherwise, he's just gonna squash this, whatever--whatever this is.

Landry

You know what it is? He's probably all messed up from the war. That's exactly what it--he's gone war crazy with Operation Freedom flashbacks and stuff.

Julie

He's not war crazy. He's just--He should see you play, I mean, if you get him to one of the games he'll understand what all of the fuss is about.

Matt

Yeah, I guess, maybe.

Julie

Well is he gonna help you get some in-home care for your grandma?

Matt

Well, yeah, he's gonna straighten all of that out. I mean--I mean, really, this is a perfect time for him to come home because clearly I can't get it done.

Julie

Hey.

Matt

Hey.

Julie

So, what are you doing out here?

Matt

Honestly, I was just kinda wishing that Arnett Mead loses to Buckley and then we get to go the playoffs then I don't have to spend everyday of the rest of my life wondering what if as I punch into the feed store.

Matt

Um, did, uh, did you finish your book?

Julie

I did. What'd you do last night?

Matt

Uh, nothing, I, I just you know, I just went out to work and then I went home.

Julie

I saw the calendar.

Matt

Wh--What?

Julie

A bunch of the rally girls were passing around this morning.

Matt

No, see they totally kidnapped me like, like with Riggins the other night. But nothing happened, so it's--it's but nothing happened at all.

Julie

Why'd you lie about it?

[after Julie came home late] No, no, look at me. Please don't do this. Don't break our trust. Don't take our trust from us. Please.

Julie

I'm sorry; today's just been really...really kind of a crappy day. Matt's been yelling at me all day about...stupid quarterback stuff.

Matt Saracen's got you at quarterback? Wait honey. Hey, come here. What do you mean he's got you at quarterback?

Julie

[about being friends with Tyra] Ok, so, first you don't want me dating Matt Saracen, now you're picking my friends for me, so maybe you guys should just....home school me.

Tami

Honey, I don't like your tone, I don't like your sarcasm, and I really don't understand what you see in hanging out with this girl. She's been suspended from school three times. Do you realize that? One time for drinking on campus.

Matt

So, you wanna maybe try and study again in the...

Julie

I think we should have sex.

Matt

Morning.

Julie

Well, I think it's time, don't you think. [Matt nods] Yeah, me too, so um, let's get on that, good night.

Tami

[from the car] Hey, Matt.

Matt

Hi, Mrs...Mrs. Coach.

Tami

Are you and Matt Saracen having sex?

Julie

No.....we're thinking about it.

Tami

You're thinking about it. Are you thinking about pregnancy, are you thinking about sexually transmitted diseases?

Julie

Well, I mean obviously that's why he's buying condoms.

Tami

Oh, I see, so you're just buying condoms and then when you buy condoms that just makes you ready to make love to somebody.

Julie

[smiles] Making love?

Tami

Don't do that, don't you smirk at me right now, I am very upset. You are not allowed to have sex. You're fifteen years old.
