Coach Taylor: Wind sprints, up and down the hill. Let's go. Let's go. (whistle blows) If you think you're champions because you wear the Panther uniform. You're wrong! If you think you're champions because they give you a piece of pie at the diner. You're wrong! Champions don't complain! Champions don't give up! Let's go Coach. Send 'em out. [whistle blows] Champions don't give up! Champions don't complain! Champions give 200%. You're not champions until you've earned it!

Coach Taylor: You got a girlfriend?
Matt: Uh, no, sir.
Coach Taylor: Do you have someone you're interested in?
Matt: Uh...sort, sort of
Coach Taylor: Sort of. Forget about sort of. You know what? Take her out. You understand me?
Matt: Sir?
Coach Taylor: Dinner, movies, get her in the backseat of your car. I don't care, whatever, but I'm telling you, you need to get loose out there. You're wound up tighter then a rubber band out there, son.
Matt: Yes, sir.
Coach Taylor: Good. So tomorrow, you come to practice loose and focused.
Matt: Loose and focused. Yes, sir
Coach Taylor: Get out of here.
Matt: Yes..yes, sir, sorry. Thanks coach.
Coach Taylor: You're welcome.

Coach Taylor: You know what I heard once? I heard that a daughter is supposed to be a comfort and a blessing to her father.
Julie: Texas isn't even a state. Technically it's a Republic. It'd be nice to live somewhere that's actually a part of this planet.

Corrina “Mama” Williams: Child, where you been, it's almost time for [Jay] Leno. Brian, you been running this whole time?
Smash: Mostly, I stopped once or twice
Corrina “Mama” Williams:Oh, I think you need to slow down.
Smash: Don't you worry about it.
Corrina “Mama” Williams:: Oh I do worry about it, that's my job
Smash: That's your job? Well I'm doing my job, too, Mama. Alright? I'm so tired, I can barely finish my sets without feeling like I'm gonna fall over and die.
Corrina “Mama” Williams: I know, it's that Po-ist, you just need some time to adjust.
Smash: Mama, I don't have any time! You know what's it's like over there? It's like blood in the water! I mean, I've got backs to try and steal my job, and Coach watching me like a hawk! So no, no I'm not gonna slow down... at least not right now.
Corrina “Mama” Williams: I just worry about you. I know...

Jason: [about playing quad rugby] I'm ready. I told you I'm ready.
Phil: Jason, you're not ready.
Jason: Phil come on. Everyday it's about how--how great my progress has been, how unusual I am. What's the worse that could happen, huh? I fall out of my chair and break my neck, oh wait that already happened didn't it.
Phil: You could tear your rotator cuff. You can get a concussion. Worst case scenario, your fusion's still healing. You don't seem to know what that means so let me spell it out for you. Those little bits of bone are all that's protecting your spinal cord at your injury site. You know how you can use your hands, screw up your fusion, no more grip, then what? I want you to think long and hard about this before you do it.

Jason: Hit the slants, you hit the posts, they'll respect you. You hit this pattern (18 yard deep-out), they will fear you.

Jason: I gotta ask you something.
Lyla: Okay.
Jason: Is there something happening between you and Riggins, Lyla?
Lyla: No! Why would you even say that Jason?
Jason: ‘Cause I saw you in the parking lot the other night.
Lyla: You saw us. Doing what?
Jason: I don't know. No--Nothing I guess.
Lyla: That's crazy. I love you. Jason, you know that don't you?
Jason: I do. I just had to ask. I'm sorry.

Jason: Stop! My legs are never gonna get better....ever.
Lyla: But there are cases, lots of cases--
Jason: And those cases aren't me. All right? I don't even have full use of my hands. I'll be lucky if I get that back. Alright, I can't even put my own shoes on and off. How can you not see that? What the hell is wrong with you?
Lyla: I'm just trying to help you.
Jason: Yeah, well, you're not helping. You wanna help then stop pretending that everything is OK.
Lyla: Why are you getting so mad?
Jason: Because every night when I go to sleep, I dream that I can walk again. And every morning, I wake up, and I have to accept it all over again. And then you walk in here, all smiles and acting like nothing's wrong and it's killing me! So get this through your head. My life as we knew it--over.
Lyla: Don't say that, Jason.
Jason: Football--over. Notre Dame, going pro, all that--gone. You and me? We're not getting married. So, I need you to do something for me, all right? Get out. Get out!! Don't just look at me, go!
Lyla: I'll be back tomorrow for when they transfer you to the rehab facility.

Jason: Take a knee. Alright y'all. Today we're champions. Feels good, right?
All: Yeah!
Jason: Enjoy it while it lasts, 'cause tomorrow we're targets. Next season, every other team in Texas is gonna be gunning for us 'cause we're Number One. And I don't know about y'all, but anything less than State Championship is completely unacceptable. Here's what we're gonna do. We're gonna think about the off-season. The off-season is about development. Development of strength; development of speed; development of character. Football is a 12-month, 52-week, 365-day commitment, Gentleman. Have a great day today. Enjoy it while it lasts, tomorrow, we're going to work.
Season 2

Jason: Took you long enough to get here, man.
Tim: My truck ain't running. We're putting in this four-barrel carb. I hitched a ride, man. Sorry.
Jason: I'm guessing you know what this is about.
Tim: I do?
Jason: Yeah, of course you do. You wanna call yourself my best friend and you haven't shown up but once since I've been in here. Six weeks, man. Six weeks. Let me go ahead and recap my life for you over the last couple of weeks, huh? My day starts out with me laying down on this bed, well pretty much the whole day takes place with me laying down in this bed on my sorry quadriplegic ass. Every day, people come in here poking and prodding me like I'm a piece of meat. Go ahead and stick a catheter in me in places you don't want to know about. My big adventure of the day is going to the commode ‘cause I gotta go at the same time everyday so I can teach my body how to crap on cue. Impressive, huh? And then Lyla comes running in-(laughing)--I wanna know if she's as chipper out there as she is in here. ‘Cause I tell you what �I love that girl. I do, I love her more than life itself but I tell you what if she tells me how great everything's gonna be when I finally get out of here one more time, I'm gonna lose it. Point is this Timmy, while I'm in here dealing with all this, by myself, and my best friend is out there putting a four barrel carb in his damn truck. Is that what's important right now? Answer me this Timmy, what happened to Texas forever? Huh? What happened to living large? What happened to that eternal bond that you used to love to throw around when I was still healthy and headed towards the NFL? Huh? I need you here Tim! I need you here. I expect---I expect you here. You are my best friend. Grace period's over.

Jason: You're beautiful, you're smart and you're talented and you've got your whole future ahead of you.
Lyla: Oh my God, are you breaking up with me?
Jason: My choices are much more limited then yours.
Lyla: Please don't tell me you're breaking up--
Jason: Shh, shh, shh, shh. I went out with Herc tonight and I basically spent the whole evening convincing myself that I was just a huge thorn in your side, and after I got done doing that I started to think about Herc and why I like him so much, and I started to realize that I think I like him so much because he took his hand-cap and he didn't settle for just becoming as good as he was before, he tried to become a better man, and he did. And I think that if I can be more like him, maybe I wouldn't be such a bad guy to be around. And what....what he would do if he was in my shoes.
Lyla: He would dump me and go after Tyra.
Jason: No, he wouldn't.
Lyla: Yeah, he would, he told me.
Jason: But if it were you that he loved. If it were you...Lyla I love you more then life itself and I have loved you like that since the first moment I laid eyes on you. Lyla Garrity...will you marry me? Baby?
[Jason and Lyla kiss]

Jason: You're funny when your drunk.
Lyla: It's not funny Jason when you drive all the way from Dillon, and you find your boyfriend with people that scare you, and getting tattoos from sexy girls.
[Jason laughs]
Lyla: It's not funny. It's not funny, Jason. It's not funny. You're changing, and it is so real. And I'm not changing with you. We're never gonna last because I'm not changing with you.
Jason: Oh, I'm sorry... Lyla.
Lyla: [crying] I don't know...
Jason: Look, I'm sorry...
Lyla: It's okay. No, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay, because you know what? It's bigger than us--
Jason: Nothing is bigger than us Lyla! Nothing is bigger than us. Nothing is bigger than the love I have for you in my heart. Nothing is bigger than that. And I'm not holding on to you anymore because you're all I have left, I'm holding on you because I love you and I need you in my life. And I'm not giving you up with out a fight. And I'm not letting you go. I love you.

Julie: [about being friends with Tyra] Ok, so, first you don't want me dating Matt Saracen, now you're picking my friends for me, so maybe you guys should just....home school me.
Tami: Honey, I don't like your tone, I don't like your sarcasm, and I really don't understand what you see in hanging out with this girl. She's been suspended from school three times. Do you realize that? One time for drinking on campus.

Julie: [about Coach Taylor] Don't worry. He's all bark and no bite. Most of the time. How about uh you come over tomorrow night?
Matt: I mean, is that gonna be OK with your Mom and your Dad? ‘Cause I don't know--if...
Julie: Matt, you gotta get out of that mindset, otherwise, he's just gonna squash this, whatever--whatever this is.

Julie: [tackles Matt Saracen and kisses him] I'll always love you no matter what happens.
