Buddy Garrity quotes from Friday Night Lights

Buddy

Oh.. It's alive! I thought I was gonna have to send in Search and Rescue.

Buddy Garrity

You can't fake boosterism Eric, it comes from the heart. That's the beauty of it.

Buddy

[speaking at Tim's parole hearing] I've known this young man since before he hit puberty, and this young man has done a lot of things wrong. I've seen him do a dozen things wrong, but let me tell you something right now, he is not a bad young man, and he's certainty not a criminal. He doesn't need to be in this system. He dated my daughter for years, and we took him in like family. So he's like family to me, and I can tell you this kid right here has got more heart than almost any person I know. And I can promise you that when you let him out, he will have a full time job working for me, and I can guarantee you that nothing like this will ever happen again. You have my word on that. It's time for you to let Tim Riggins come home.

Buddy Garrity

Best case scenario, Jason's probably out for a month. You know, it's probably a lot longer then that. But, uh, we need a plan for Friday night. Heck we--Heck, we need a plan for the rest of the season is what we need, Eric. So tell me, you think little Matt Saracen can get it done?

I guess we're fixin' to find out.

Lyla

I lost Jason.

Buddy

What?

Lyla

I was unfaithful, Daddy.

Buddy

Well...We all make mistakes, and we--we grow up, but you're my little girl. You're my daughter and I want you to always remember that.

Lyla

You've never left a game before.

Buddy

It's only a game. You're my daughter.

Hey, Buddy

Buddy

Hey, Eric. What the hell's going on, you know I can not stand you dodging me and to tell you the truth, I'm hurt.

As I said it's an internal matter.

Buddy

Yeah, well I am internal. If anybody's internal, I'm internal. I'm probably the most internal son of a bitch you've ever met in your life---is that not right?

I'm not gonna talk about it.

Buddy

Until when?

Until ever, Buddy. I can't talk about it until ever.

Buddy

Ever is a long damn time.

Yes it is.

Buddy

You want me to be honest with ya son? Do ya?

Jason

Please.

Buddy

I love that little girl in there. That's my daughter and I want her to have a great life, and I'm real uncertain about the future here. I mean how is she gonna get money? How you gonna get money? You goin' go to college? Is she gonna go to college? Are you gonna have babies? Can you have babies? Can you? Can you have children, Jason?

Jason

We haven't quite answered that yet.

Buddy

What if you can't and what if you can, Jason? When that little baby's crying upstairs in the night who's gonna go up and take care of him? I don't want Lyla to be a care giver her whole life, son. I know that's a bitter pill to swallow, and I'm sorry I have to say it to you, and Lyla Garrity, she loves you, she'd follow you into hell. Are you sure you want to lead her there?

Buddy

You're suing my team. You're suing my coach. How do you expect me to feel?

Jason

It's your team? It's your team? How about a little compassion, Mr. Garrity? I mean I am paralyzed now.

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.

Buddy

[as he and Santiago drive around] So you're ready for the game tonight? You may see some playing time tonight, son.

What the hell's the point of all this?

Buddy

What'd you say, Santiago?

I can't do it.

Buddy

What?

What do you care if I play, huh? You don't know me. You're not my pops! You don't know nothing about me. You're just some fat white guy who wants to make himself feel good, that's what you are. And I don't need nothing from you, all right? I don't need to work at your car dealership and I sure as hell don't need football!

Buddy

Shut that door. Shut the door! I'll tell you what, you want to go back to that cafeteria eating off of plastic with 200 guys going nowhere, you be my guest, son. Now listen to me. Tonight is your night. You have an opportunity to go out there and accept the challenge. You have the opportunity to become part of a team. If you don't do it tonight, then you're never gonna do it in your entire life. Now, I'm goin' to the field. So you get out, be my guest.

I hate you. I hate you.

Lyla

What do you want?

Buddy

What I want is for you to come home. This is no excuse for you to play house with your boyfriend.

Lyla

You're gonna lecture me on morals?

Buddy

Honey, we can work this out.

Lyla

How are we gonna work it out? You're $20,000 in the hole for tearing up a strip club. What are you gonna do? Rob a bank?

Buddy Garrity

And remember you gotta win on Friday night to make the playoffs.

What was that? Did I just hear the voice of a dead Panther?

There's a hole over here on the field that if you drove your car over the hubcap would pop right off.

Buddy Garrity

Yeah, when we drive on the football field...we usually don't drive on our football field.

What'd you say his name was?

Buddy

Hastings Ruckle

What the hell kinda name is Ruckle?

Buddy

Welsh.
