In this episode: Coach Taylor (3), Tim Riggins (1)

SSSlammin' Sammy

[Seracen has thrown a wide pass to Riggins, who runs it towards the goal line] Tim Riggins could go all the way!

[Dickies runs onto the field and side-checks Riggins, sending him to the ground]

SSSlammin' Sammy

HOLY COW!

[screaming in disbelief] HEY... WHOA!

CDCoach Dickies

You see that? YOU SEE THAT! All you gotta do is take him down!

[his assistant tries to restrain him, he shoves him away]

CDCoach Dickies

Get offa me! Get offa me! That's all it takes to take somebody down! Ya stick 'em!

[the stadium has fallen silent by this point]

CDCoach Dickies

You can say goodbye to playoffs!

[Taylor walks into Dickies' makeshift office in the film room]

Hey can I have a word alone in here, please?

[the assistants leave]

Thank you much. So what the hell was that? Don, what the hell was that?! You know what I think? I think you owe this school an apology, is what I think. And not only that, you owe the players over there an apology, that's what I think!

CDCoach Dickies

I got it.

You got what?! What is it you got, Don? What's it all about? I've done everything I can! This school has reached out... it has opened its arms to you!

CDCoach Dickies

[quietly] You don't know what I'm going through.

No, I don't know what you're going through. But you know what? For two weeks now, we have done everything we can to help you out over here. I've been puttin' up with two weeks... why don't you share with me!

CDCoach Dickies

My wife's got three months to live... and I don't have a game plan for that.

[Taylor is speechless]

CDCoach Dickies

I'm not using that as an excuse... please know that. [near tears] I do owe you an apology. You tell Riggins... he's a fine player... and I am deeply sorry for what I've done to him. I don't know what I'm gonna do... not gonna be coaching anytime soon.

I'm very sorry.

CDCoach Dickies

Thanks.

I jumped to conclusions. I'm well aware of what happened the other night. I apologize. I was wrong.

It's fine, coach.

No, it's not fine.I couldn't have mishandled it any worse, and I apologize. The last couple weeks have been giving you hell. And not once, have you come to me and complained. And then... Then you got it where you protected my daughter, and you're not letting me think bad of her. And again, you don't say a word. Not a word. And I'll tell you something, not as a coach, but as a father... You realize what an honorable thing that is? That is very honorable.

Thank you, sir.

All right. Rest this weekend.

Will do, coach.
