[Coach Taylor walks into Matt blowing off steam in the locker room]
Hey! What the hell are you doing?
I did whatever you asked me to. I helped you win a state championship, I got you to 3-1 this season, I worked my ass off in practice. I do everything that you say! If it's 'cause J.D. is better than me, tell me that!
My job is to field a team out there that wins games. Right now, that means J.D: McCoy. Yes.
Okay. Then I quit.
You're not quitting this team.
Yes, I am.
No, you're not quitting this team and I'm not gonna let you quit. I know you. You quit this team you're gonna hate yourself. You wanna be pissed? Fine, you go ahead, you be pissed. I don't give a damn. But you are not quitting this team.
Fine. Fine, I'll sit on your bench. I'll come to practice and I'll do whatever you tell me to do. But I'm gonna hate it. And you're gonna hate it. Good talk, coach.
