Coach Taylor and Coach Dickies in “Jumping the Gun”

[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!

CDCoach Dickies

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!

CDCoach Dickies

[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!

CDCoach Dickies

My wife's got three months to live... and I don't have a game plan for that.

[Taylor is speechless]

CDCoach Dickies

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.

CDCoach Dickies

Thanks.
