TV show quotes
You just gotta let it go sometimes, you just...gotta let people be who they wanna be and just let 'em go make out with whoever they wanna make out in front of whoever they feel like.
You don't just give up though. If you really care about something you don't just give up. You do whatever it takes.
[Taylor has Coach Dickies against the wall after locker room fight] Listen to me... if you ever, I mean EVER, touch one of my players again, you will never coach another football game as long as you live, you understand me? And after that, I will kick your old, tired ass six ways from Sunday, Donald. [to Santiago, laughing] Shut up.
[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]
HOLY COW!
[screaming in disbelief] HEY... WHOA!
You see that? YOU SEE THAT! All you gotta do is take him down!
[his assistant tries to restrain him, he shoves him away]
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]
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!
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!
[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!
My wife's got three months to live... and I don't have a game plan for that.
[Taylor is speechless]
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.
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.
[yelling] You know how many people depend on you to make good decisions? Huh? Do you have any idea? Your grandmother, your friends, your teammates. You better start making them, you better stop being so damn selfish, you hear me?
Shut up! Just shut up! You don't care about me, you left me for a better job, your daughter left me for a better guy, Carlotta left me for Guatemala, my dad left me for a damn war. Everybody leaves me. What's wrong with me?
There is nothing wrong with you. There is nothing wrong with you at all.
So, you're saying Matt Saracen is your man.
That is very much what I'm saying. Matt Saracen, whether he is on the field or off the field, whatever you throw at that young man, he can handle.
Hey.
Hey.
How are you?
Good.
Uh, two things. Thank you, for kind of kicking my ass in gear, cause I know I needed it. And I kind of owe tonight to you. And two, I'm okay if you don't tell anyone about us. As long as this works with you.
Wow.
Alright. [walks away]
Tim.
Yeah [turns around]
[Lyla walks over to Tim and starts kissing him]
[about Lyla] You're a rebound from Jesus.
No, I'm not a rebound.
You're a summer fling.
I don't believe that.
You know what, you know what the problem really is? Is that you don't take me seriously. I'm some fling to you.
You're not a fling.
Okay, then what's the problem? [pause]: Shoot.
Okay. You want to know what the problem is Tim? You scare me.
I scare you.
Yeah, you scare me. You're Tim Riggins. You show up drunk to school. You don't do your own homework. You have rally girls do your homework for you. You don't go to class. Your relationships last about 20 minutes. How am I suppose to take you seriously if you don't take yourself seriously?
[to Coach Taylor while playing racquetball] You realize this is the whitest sport in history?
[Tim is trying on a jacket]
Ok, take it off, take it off, come on.
Lyla, I know how to dress myself.
No, you only know how to put on a plaid shirt and button one button.
You know what would be great? We just leave, cause I don't wanna go to this dinner in the first place.
Yeah well, if you only did what you wanted to do, your life would be all about football, beer, and sex, wouldn't it?
And what's the problem with that?
I saw that game tonight. You played great, you just played great.
[heavy-heartedly] Thanks.
You've always loved football, Matty. I remember when you were two years old, you were trying to throw a football and it was bigger than you were. And you were such a sweet baby, such a sweet, sweet baby. But here you are all grown up taking care of everything. I don't know what I'd do without you. I don't know. Matthew? I love you.
I know. I, I love you, too, grandma. [She starts crying] Grandma, hey. [Matt hugs her]
You are such a good boy.
That's because I was raised by you.
I didn’t know you googled.
I’m not retarded. I google.
Yeah I know but sometimes you pretend you are.
You are coming over tomorrow night, correct?
Mindy and Angela are gonna be there.
[confused] OK, no Mindy, what.. No.
I don't know if you notice or not, but Mindy and Angela hate me.
What? They don't hate you. They don't even know you. If they did, they'd love you. And you know what? Somebody wants his girlfriend to be there. Okay? And you know what? If they even look at you wrong, and you don't see it, and I do? I'm gonna blindside them with the worst block they'll have ever seen. So what I want from you right now is for you to say, "Yes, Tim, I can't wait to see you and hang out with you tomorrow night".
