Smash Williams quotes from Friday Night Lights

Smash

[to Coach Taylor while playing racquetball] You realize this is the whitest sport in history?

Smash

Hey look, y'all keep tryin', but you ain't gon' catch me.

'Roid' Williams [referring to him as taking steroids to run faster.]

Smash

Hey, don't hate, accelerate!

Smash

You move us to Dillon to get us out the ghetto, or to get us away from Dad?

You don't know what you're talking about.

Smash

No, I really want to bring it up. Like we--we should talk about this.

You need to shut your mouth.

Smash

Mama, I'm serious--

Take your smart mouth and your plate and get away from my table. You don't talk to me like that.

Smash

How about it, QB1? Think you can get the V-chip out of Julie before I can work my magic?

Matt

I think you should shut up.

Smash

Oh, come on, man. What, you afraid of a little bet or something?

Matt

I think it's a good time to stop talking.

Smash

There's something else I gotta say. Yeah, I like myself, and I love football. I love it. I love the game. I love the crowds. I love the attention. I love being a star. I can't help it. It's a beautiful thing it's just who I am, it's how God made me. I like you a lot, Waverly. I mean more than I've ever liked any other girl. But if you don't like me for me then I gotta live with it ‘cause I can't be nobody but the Smash. Yes, I like talking about myself in the third person. Something tells me deep down inside you like it too.

I'll see you around, Smash.

Where you going?

Smash

To my room! I'm going to my room!

You better lower your voice boy, your sisters are sleeping.

Smash

How could you be so stupid?

You better watch your mouth.

Smash

How could you go to Coach? Do you realize what you did? If he goes to the Athletic Commission I'm gone, I'm off the team forever. My scholarships, oh yeah, all them letters they've been sending me, they don't mean nothing now, they worthless--gone, all gone. You ruined my life Mama.

No, son, I'm trying to save it. You wanna know why I went to your Coach?

Smash

Please tell me.

‘Cause I didn't want to think that you were dumb enough to do something so stupid on your own.

What you need?

Smash

Look, I'm sorry for what I did. Am I off the team? Look, I know I'm not playing on Friday but am I off the team? Don't I deserve to know?

I should've reported this as soon as it happened. I'm risking my job. Inside this house, I've got a wife and a daughter. They depend on me to provide for them. Do you understand that?

Smash

Yes, sir.

I don't know what I'm gonna do. When I do know I'll let you know. Until then why don't you do me a favor and just try and keep your mouth shut?

Smash

Yes, sir. You got it.

Good night.

Smash

Good night.

Child, where you been, it's almost time for [Jay] Leno. Brian, you been running this whole time?

Smash

Mostly, I stopped once or twice

Oh, I think you need to slow down.

Smash

Don't you worry about it.

: Oh I do worry about it, that's my job

Smash

That's your job? Well I'm doing my job, too, Mama. Alright? I'm so tired, I can barely finish my sets without feeling like I'm gonna fall over and die.

I know, it's that Po-ist, you just need some time to adjust.

Smash

Mama, I don't have any time! You know what's it's like over there? It's like blood in the water! I mean, I've got backs to try and steal my job, and Coach watching me like a hawk! So no, no I'm not gonna slow down... at least not right now.

I just worry about you. I know...

Coach Mac

What I perceive other then football is none of your business.

Smash

Whoa, I'm just trying to have a dialogue.

Coach Mac

Well, you save your dialoguing for your mommy.

Smash

Now, wait a minute, you said--

Coach Mac

No, you wait a minute son. You wait just a minute. I've been here for 27 years, and I am not about to be interrogated by some too big for his britches teenager, you got me?

Smash

What the hell you mean too big for my britches, Mac? You the one saying--

Coach Mac

This is done. This is over. I am done with this. I am done. Look, if I hear you whining or anybody else whining about this anymore. You're gonna be warming your ass on the bench Friday night, you got me?

Smash

Oh, no, you can't do that.

Coach Mac

Oh I can, yeah and I will. I'm tired of this crap.

You quitting football to try and make a point about racism in a small Texas town, that ain't the "Million Man March" You are seventeen and you got a brilliant future ahead of you and I'm not gonna sit here and watch you throw it away trying to teach a lesson to a bunch of fools. You know how you get back at people that think like Mac McGill. You get back on that team. You play like the star that you are and you get recruited by an A-list University, go on and get your degree. Now you get up from here, get you something to eat, get your butt in the bed 'cause you're going to that game tomorrow.

Smash

What about everybody who said they weren't gonna play?

You a leader honey, they'll follow you.

Smash

You feeling OK?

I feel wonderful...why are you asking me, why?

Smash

You seem a little different lately.

It's cause, cause I'm alive, because I'm feeling the world. If that's different then sign me up, I'm different. I'm great. All right, it's like this. I was taking some medication for a while and now I'm off of it.

Smash

What kind of medication?

It was like this stuff for, uh, mood disorder. It's really no big deal. I'm better now; I've got it under control. I don't need drugs to keep me straight.

Matt

What do you mean she's bipolar?

Smash

It means she's crazy.

Jason

Look, Matt, it just means she's got issues, you know. Just like everybody else in this town.

Matt

[to Smash] Well, how are you handling it?

Smash

Takin' it like a man, Matty. You know....avoiding her calls, ducking out, hiding in the bushes.

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.

Let start tonight with... Smash. Now what is there to say about Smash? There's nothing to say about him, I don't think, that he hasn't already said about himself.

Smash

I'm in on it, now you got me on that, Coach. You got me on that.

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?
