TV show quotes
Have you ever read the book The Giving Tree?
Yeah, when I was like five.
It's about this tree who loves this boy more than anything, right? And the boy just takes and takes and takes until there's absolutely nothing left but a stump. And I'm like the tree and you're the boy - just take and take and take, and there's absolutely nothing left Tyra. That's exactly what I feel like. Just a stump. Because this is not a friendship. You're selfish. It's not a friendship.
Please tell me the lesson you've learned.
Always lock the door.
When having sex with the Coach's daughter.
Tyra, do you want to remind me again why Mindy thinks that it's a good idea to have a party outside in December?
Yeah, remind me again why my sister thinks it's a good idea to marry Billy Riggins?
That is a good point.
That's a really good point.
Can I say something?
Mm-hum.
Most, most girls that look like you do, things are easy, they can just coast by on their good looks for the rest of their lives and not really have to, not really have to worry. I mean, I know it sounds stupid, but I'm, I'm proud of how hard you've been working for this it, I mean, it says something. I just, I think good things are gonna happen to you, you just have to keep going.
Thank you. [pause] Still think I'm good looking though, right?
You've still, you've still, you've.. you know, yeah. I think you're still okay.
[Tyra starts to laugh]
Okay? Thanks. Grr. [She fake threaten him with the knife she is holding]
I don't want to step on your fingers or anything but you might want to slice those a little thinner because cucumber sandwiches are pretty delicate.
Really?
Did I just lose a lot of man points for that?
Yeah you did.
Did I tell you I'm in a band though?
See that's like 40,000 man points right there.
I'm hitting the sheets. Want to come?
I can't. I have a rematch [on MarioKart]. Aren't you gonna watch?
No.
Okay. Goodnight Grandpa
[about the game] I have no idea what's gonna happen tomorrow, babe.
Well, you're gonna win. Or you're gonna lose. Either way the sun's gonna come up the next morning.
Last game, Seven.
No regrets.
[after the game] I wanted everyone's friends and family to be in here to hear this, gentlemen. I have never been more proud of a team than I am right now. I am in awe of each and every one of you gentlemen. [Long pause] You played great football tonight. This is the game that people are gonna talk about for years to come. This is the game you are gonna talk about. There's not a single person in this room that's ever gonna be the same. You be proud of yourselves. Because gentlemen, you are champions.
You obviously don't believe any of what you're saying.
Fine Landry, why don't you tell me what to write?
I don't, this is your essay, I don't...
What, should I write about? My trashy family, about the fact that my sister's a stripper, or my mom is a high school drop out who drinks boxes of wine like it's water? Or about the fact that I lost my virginity when I was thirteen, or the fact that my papa wasn't around? How about that? Oh, I know. I could write about how up until two years ago I had enough hate in my heart to start a freaking car.
What changed?
What?
What changed? Why did you stop having enough hate in your heart to start a freaking car?
Jason Street got paralyzed. I realized that he was this great guy - this hero, and it happened to him. It made me realize that life isn't fair for anybody. Not just me.
[reading her college essay] Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying, and trying would lead to failure. But now I find I can't stop wanting. I wanna fly somewhere in first class. I wanna travel to Europe on a business trip. I wanna get invited to the White House. I wanna learn about the world. I wanna surprise myself. I wanna be important. I wanna be the best person I can be. I wanna define myself instead of having others define me. I wanna win and have people be happy for me. I wanna lose and get over it. I wanna not be afraid of the unknown. I wanna grow up to be generous and big hearted, the way that people have been with me. I want an interesting and surprising life. It's not that I think I'm gonna get all these things. I just want the possibility of getting them. College represents this possibility. The possibility that things are gonna change. I can't wait.
[Defending his coaching contract at the board meeting] I did not want to be here today. Here I am. I love my job. I'm good at it, and I'd like to keep it. I love this school, I love the kids, and I feel like I've just gotten started here. There's some people here who want to replace me, for a man with an awful lot of money and a boy with a good arm. To those people I would say: you're wrong. You are dead wrong. Y'all have a good Saturday.
[A Texas Longhorn Steer is announced as the next auction item] We still have some money left. This is an opportunity. I defy anyone to pass through Riggins' Rigs with that steer in front of it and not go inside. If you get that we'll make clients for life.
[After telling Billy that Lyla's going to Vanderbilt] I'm staying in Dillon is what it means, Billy. Riggins Rigs. We're in it together now. We're gonna be poppin' beer, makin' money, gettin' off early. I'm telling you. You're not getting it...
Tim!
What?
Come here. You listen to me, you little idiot. You are not gonna wuss out on this. You're gonna go to college and you're gonna get a degree. And I don't care if it takes you 7 years, all right? And when you start thinking it's too hard or that you can't handle it, I want you to remember one thing. I want you to think about the kids that you don't have yet. And I want you to think about my kids. Me and Mindy's kids that we don't have yet. And you're gonna get the job done so that one of these days I can tell them that they don't have to settle for second best. That they can be whoever the hell they want to be because their uncle Timmy went to college. And God bless our mom and dad, wherever the hell they are.
Yeah.
But we gotta do better by our kids. Do you hear me? Tim!!?
I thought...
Do you hear me?
Yeah.
All right.
I'm Vince.
I'm Coach Taylor...you play any football?
Yeah, all the time.
What do you play?
Madden.
