“Wind Sprints” quotes from Friday Night Lights

Jason

Stop! My legs are never gonna get better....ever.

Lyla

But there are cases, lots of cases--

Jason

And those cases aren't me. All right? I don't even have full use of my hands. I'll be lucky if I get that back. Alright, I can't even put my own shoes on and off. How can you not see that? What the hell is wrong with you?

Lyla

I'm just trying to help you.

Jason

Yeah, well, you're not helping. You wanna help then stop pretending that everything is OK.

Lyla

Why are you getting so mad?

Jason

Because every night when I go to sleep, I dream that I can walk again. And every morning, I wake up, and I have to accept it all over again. And then you walk in here, all smiles and acting like nothing's wrong and it's killing me! So get this through your head. My life as we knew it--over.

Lyla

Don't say that, Jason.

Jason

Football--over. Notre Dame, going pro, all that--gone. You and me? We're not getting married. So, I need you to do something for me, all right? Get out. Get out!! Don't just look at me, go!

Lyla

I'll be back tomorrow for when they transfer you to the rehab facility.

Wind sprints, up and down the hill. Let's go. Let's go. (whistle blows) If you think you're champions because you wear the Panther uniform. You're wrong! If you think you're champions because they give you a piece of pie at the diner. You're wrong! Champions don't complain! Champions don't give up! Let's go Coach. Send 'em out. [whistle blows] Champions don't give up! Champions don't complain! Champions give 200%. You're not champions until you've earned it!

Execution! Where the hell's the execution out there?! Huh? My God, we ought to be beating these bums by 40 points! Riggins, you're supposed to be one of the toughest guys in the district. They are handing your ass to you, son! You better get your head in the game. Smash...north, south, north, south. You want to dance with these boys out there; you invite them to the prom!

Lyla

Tim? Hey. Uh, we're having a prayer meeting for Jason this afternoon. You wanna come?

Tim

What are we going to pray for, Lyla? A new spine for Jay?

Lyla

Tim, I know you don't do anything you don't want to do, and I guess that's fine, but don't insult me.

Tyra

You know, you're such a big tough guy. You can't even go see Jason in the hospital. I mean, damn it, Tim, grow a set, why don't you. ‘Cause we both know that's what this is all about.

Tim

Hey, Tyra. How's Smash? Was he good? Did you have a nice time?

Tyra

Nothing happened. Not really. Besides, don't pretend like you haven't slept with half the Rally Girls.

Tim

We sure do have something special here, Tyra.

Tyra

Yeah, you know maybe you're right. Maybe I am wasting my time. ‘Cause you are just another mediocre football player who's gonna grow up to drink himself to death. Maybe we should just end this right now.

Tim

See you around then.

Tyra

I am serious, Tim. Are you listening to me? If I get in that car right now I'm never coming back. Do you understand?

Tim

I get it.

Tyra

That's it? We're breaking up for real and that's all you have to say. That was great.

What happened to Jason Street was nobody's fault. This is football, things happen. It was an accident. You understand me?

Tim

[breaking down] I didn't even try, coach. I didn't even try.

You were on the other side of the field, it wouldn't have mattered. It was an accident. It was not your fault. Look at me. I want you to let yourself off the hook, son. I want you to let yourself off the hook.

Tim

Yes, sir.

Be smart.

Tim

Yes, sir.

[Sternly, angrily] Now if you EVER walk out of one of my practices again, I will kick your ass off the team, and that's a promise. Understood?

Tim

Yes, sir.

You owe me a practice. [Riggins tries to get on the bus, but Eric stops him as he gets on.] You walk home. We'll call it even.
