Friday Night Lights quotes

[speaking at Tim's parole hearing] I'm a high school football coach, and I don't think there's a better job to judge the content of a young man.

Buddy

[speaking at Tim's parole hearing] I've known this young man since before he hit puberty, and this young man has done a lot of things wrong. I've seen him do a dozen things wrong, but let me tell you something right now, he is not a bad young man, and he's certainty not a criminal. He doesn't need to be in this system. He dated my daughter for years, and we took him in like family. So he's like family to me, and I can tell you this kid right here has got more heart than almost any person I know. And I can promise you that when you let him out, he will have a full time job working for me, and I can guarantee you that nothing like this will ever happen again. You have my word on that. It's time for you to let Tim Riggins come home.

Tim

Your pregnant wife is stripping, your son is being bottle fed by another stripper and you're on your seventh beer.

Billy

You won't hear me complain!

You feel that? There are about 5,000 people out there and they wanna take your dream away from you. You gonna let them take this dream away from us?

NO, SIR.

Are you gonna let our dreams be taken away?!

NO, SIR.

As one, gentlemen. Dear Lord, please allow these young men to safely pursue the height of their excellence tonight, and as a family, allow them to achieve their goals with the gifts with which you have blessed us. Amen.

AMEN.

Now, let's go kick some ass!

Tyra

[to Tim] I can't imagine how much you love Billy to do what you did for him. So are you ready to lose him? Because he's your family. He's your only family. Not a lot of people believed in you Tim, but he did.

Tyra

[about Dillon] It's kind of like this drug: when you get outside of it, you see it for what it really is. But when you're in it, seems like there's no other possible reality.

Julie

It's a hard place to shake.

Tyra

Yeah. I didn't see that coming.

Tim

You're going to State, correct?

Luke

Yeah.

Tim

It's never gonna be bigger than that. Play it like that. Lace up like it's the last game you'll ever play. And then move on. That's the best advice I can give you.

Tami

They'd like to replace the current dean with me and I would like to do it.

Well that's in Philadelphia.

Tami

Yeah.

That's a long commute.

Tami

We'd have to move there.

We live in Texas.

Jess

I'm moving to Dallas after this semester so I won't be joining your super team after all. Being a part of the Lions has been the greatest experience of my life.

I think it's been mine too.

You may never know how proud I am of you.

Vince

You changed my life, Coach.

[to Matt and Julie] Marriage requires maturity. Marriage requires two people that will listen, really listen to each other. Marriage most of all requires compromise.

Tyra

I have dreams.

Tim

I know you do. I have dreams too. I'm going to build a house exactly where we're sitting and I'll get a job. And I'm never going to do anything illegal for the rest of my life. Guarantee it. Maybe one day our dreams can merge together.

[to Tami] I turned the contract down. I want to go to Philadelphia.

Tami

What? Are you sure babe?

Will you take me to Philadelphia with you, please?
