“Every Rose Has Its Thorn” · Season 3, Episode 5

In this episode: Matt Saracen (2), Jason Street (2), Billy (2), Coach Taylor (1), Tim Riggins (1)

There's this new freshmen this year and everyone think he's the next Peyton Manning or something, so I got replaced.

SShelby

Oh Matt, I'm sorry. You don't deserve that.

I didn't really deserve the job in the first place. The only reason I was starting is 'cause our quarterback, Jason Street, he got paralyzed in the middle of a game.

SShelby

Oh my god.

Yeah, it was pretty horrible. You know, they needed me and I stepped up, and I worked my ass off and I did everything I could, you know? But I guess it just wasn't really enough.

SShelby

It sounds like you did a great job...ever think about just taking a break?

You can't quit the team.

SShelby

Why, what would they do? Shoot you?

Probably. We do live in Texas.

It's when all the scared rats start running away from the sinking market that the true entrepreneurs come in, Billy. True visionaries.

I'm a visionary.

HHerc

Psh, look at ya!

[at the bank] I'm pretty sure that I don't have to explain to you what's at stake, Billy. And I'm also pretty sure I don't have to explain to you that tellin' somebody something's liquid when it's not quite liquid is a pretty dumbass thing to do!

Hey! Let's not start with the name callin'. Otherwise, I'll walk right outta here. It's not fair. And I can't punch you. You're in a wheelchair.

Oh, I'll swing back! Just ask your brother. You wanna take this outside, shorty?

[Coach Taylor walks into Matt blowing off steam in the locker room]

Hey! What the hell are you doing?

I did whatever you asked me to. I helped you win a state championship, I got you to 3-1 this season, I worked my ass off in practice. I do everything that you say! If it's 'cause J.D. is better than me, tell me that!

My job is to field a team out there that wins games. Right now, that means J.D: McCoy. Yes.

Okay. Then I quit.

You're not quitting this team.

Yes, I am.

No, you're not quitting this team and I'm not gonna let you quit. I know you. You quit this team you're gonna hate yourself. You wanna be pissed? Fine, you go ahead, you be pissed. I don't give a damn. But you are not quitting this team.

Fine. Fine, I'll sit on your bench. I'll come to practice and I'll do whatever you tell me to do. But I'm gonna hate it. And you're gonna hate it. Good talk, coach.

[Billy and Tim arrive at the bank late]

HHerc

No thanks to you two, the bank has approved our loan.

Got to play the whole crippled town football star thing.

HHerc

[grins, feigns emotion] So emotional, so believable!

'Cause I know the crippled town football star is not giving up.
