I gotta get up there in front of everybody and say good stuff about this man. And all I really want to say is 'Here lies Henry Saracen, his mother annoyed him, his wife couldn't stand him and he didn't want to be a dad so he took off to be in the army because that's the only way he could come up with to get out of here and ditch all your responsibilities and no one could call you out on it and that worked out great so you just decided to enlist four more times and that ended up getting you killed and now here you are. And all you left behind is a mother with dementia, a divorced wife and a son that delivers pizza. Thank you for coming 100 people I do not know.' You know what the worst part is? Even if I did get up and say all that I don't even know if I'm saying it to him because I don't know what's in that damn box. It's a closed casket-- might be someone else, someone funnier or a bunch of rocks.
S4 E5The Son
You don't have to eat if you don't want to.
I'm hungry.
Well do you want something else, hun?
No, I'm sorry... I don't like carrots and I don't like when they touch the meat.
I'll just take it away.
I'm sorry, I'm sorry. I'm being rude, I'm sorry. I don't like being rude. I don't like being rude. I'm just having a moment here. I'm just having a moment, I don't think I'm OK.
Matt.
I hate him. I don't like hating people, but I just put all my hate on him so I don't have to hate anyone else so I can be a good person, you know to my Grandma, to my friends, to your daughter. That's all I want to say. I want to tell him to his face that I hate him but he doesn't even have a face. I'm sorry, Mrs. Taylor. I'll see y'all tomorrow.
S4 E6Stay
I'm sorry man.
You should be man, you suck. We've been working on this for a while and you still suck.
Not at all I was talking about...
They're giving us a death gratuity.
A death gratuity?
Yeah it's like 100 thousand dollars.
Does it come in a tip jar?
Someone gave me this grieving handbook and it said: when you're dad dies you should most likely, probably go to a music festival in Austin.
You're such a liar.
S4 E7In the Bag
Why do you care about what I do so much? Aren't I just another player who can throw the ball good and run fast? What happens if I break my ankle and I can't play no more? You gonna come around here then? I've lived here ten years. I've seen three of my best friends get killed walking home from school. This is my life. When I leave football practice, I'm the one looking over my should on my way home.
You get in trouble with the law again, you're going to juvie. And then who pays the bills and puts food on the table? This isn't just about football, this is a about life. I'm giving you everything I've got. You think about what I said.
I just wanted to say: thank you for making my son quarterback. Things like that don't happen to us. People like us don't get a lot of breaks. You should've seen his face when he told me. He looked like a kid again.
I didn't give it to him, he earned it.
We gotta sell something.
What are we gonna sell? We got nothing except Kit Kat.
We're not selling Kit Kat, she's the face of Riggins' Riggs.
You're right, you're right. I love that cow.
It's the police, there's not a lot that could be done.
Well if they had come in and asked to open up Landry's locker, what would you have done?
I don't know what I would've done.
Well I think what really matters is, do you think he had a gun?
I sure as hell hope not.
Do you think it's possible?
I don't know.
Well, if you want this kid to trust you, you have to trust him.
S4 E12Laboring
Four days from Thanksgiving and five days from Armageddon. I'm talking blue vs. red, West vs. East, Panthers in the playoffs or Taylor's revenge.
And remember you gotta win on Friday night to make the playoffs.
What was that? Did I just hear the voice of a dead Panther?
There's a hole over here on the field that if you drove your car over the hubcap would pop right off.
Yeah, when we drive on the football field...we usually don't drive on our football field.
Hey I was sorry to hear about your friend Calvin.
What do you care? You don't even know his last name.
Calvin Brown. And I care about my teammates, and you're my teammate.
S4 E13Thanksgiving
Because Friday night... Friday night, there will be a bond formed between and among you, that will never be broken. I will not be proven wrong on that. Do I think we can beat the Dillon Panthers? I don't think we can beat the Dillon Panthers. I know damn well we can beat the Dillon Panthers. The question is, do you think that we can beat the Dillon Panthers? Then show me!
S5 E1Expectations
[radio voiceover] Are the Lions lambs headed for a slaughter or Cinderella at the dance?
I'm thinking about coaching. You know, I figure, since I coached you...
Coach was my coach.
Right. Well, I just want to change my life a little bit.
