Tyra Collette quotes from Friday Night Lights

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

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.

Tyra

[about Dillon] It's kind of like this drug: when you get outside of it, you see it for what it really is. But when you're in it, seems like there's no other possible reality.

Julie

It's a hard place to shake.

Tyra

Yeah. I didn't see that coming.

Tyra

I have dreams.

Tim

I know you do. I have dreams too. I'm going to build a house exactly where we're sitting and I'll get a job. And I'm never going to do anything illegal for the rest of my life. Guarantee it. Maybe one day our dreams can merge together.
