To my room! I'm going to my room!
You better lower your voice boy, your sisters are sleeping.
How could you be so stupid?
You better watch your mouth.
How could you go to Coach? Do you realize what you did? If he goes to the Athletic Commission I'm gone, I'm off the team forever. My scholarships, oh yeah, all them letters they've been sending me, they don't mean nothing now, they worthless--gone, all gone. You ruined my life Mama.
No, son, I'm trying to save it. You wanna know why I went to your Coach?
‘Cause I didn't want to think that you were dumb enough to do something so stupid on your own.
Look, I'm sorry for what I did. Am I off the team? Look, I know I'm not playing on Friday but am I off the team? Don't I deserve to know?
I should've reported this as soon as it happened. I'm risking my job. Inside this house, I've got a wife and a daughter. They depend on me to provide for them. Do you understand that?
I don't know what I'm gonna do. When I do know I'll let you know. Until then why don't you do me a favor and just try and keep your mouth shut?
Hey, Eric. What the hell's going on, you know I can not stand you dodging me and to tell you the truth, I'm hurt.
As I said it's an internal matter.
Yeah, well I am internal. If anybody's internal, I'm internal. I'm probably the most internal son of a bitch you've ever met in your life---is that not right?
I'm not gonna talk about it.
Until ever, Buddy. I can't talk about it until ever.
Ever is a long damn time.
You want me to be honest with ya son? Do ya?
I love that little girl in there. That's my daughter and I want her to have a great life, and I'm real uncertain about the future here. I mean how is she gonna get money? How you gonna get money? You goin' go to college? Is she gonna go to college? Are you gonna have babies? Can you have babies? Can you? Can you have children, Jason?
We haven't quite answered that yet.
What if you can't and what if you can, Jason? When that little baby's crying upstairs in the night who's gonna go up and take care of him? I don't want Lyla to be a care giver her whole life, son. I know that's a bitter pill to swallow, and I'm sorry I have to say it to you, and Lyla Garrity, she loves you, she'd follow you into hell. Are you sure you want to lead her there?
You're beautiful, you're smart and you're talented and you've got your whole future ahead of you.
Oh my God, are you breaking up with me?
My choices are much more limited then yours.
Please don't tell me you're breaking up--
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.
He would dump me and go after Tyra.
Yeah, he would, he told me.
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]
No, sometimes I don't think you care about that anymore, or you think it's lame and it scares me.
No, that's not it at all.
I just think that we're too young, right now and we're rushing into this and I don't want to make a mistake.
Message received, Lyla. Loud and clear.
There we go again. I'm actually getting kinda tired of hitting the green every time.
WWalt
Not bad, a little quick on your release, though.
Thanks, Mr. Nicklaus. I actually would take a swing tip from you if I wasn't kicking your ass right now.
WWalt
You're only two up. There's plenty of golf left to play.
Yeah, yeah. Let me ask you something. You feeling the pressure right now?
WWalt
Uh, not really. I've seen you putt.
Um, did, uh, did you finish your book?
I did. What'd you do last night?
Uh, nothing, I, I just you know, I just went out to work and then I went home.
A bunch of the rally girls were passing around this morning.
No, see they totally kidnapped me like, like with Riggins the other night. But nothing happened, so it's--it's but nothing happened at all.
CWCorrina “Mama” Williams
Child, where you been, it's almost time for [Jay] Leno. Brian, you been running this whole time?
Mostly, I stopped once or twice
CWCorrina “Mama” Williams
Oh, I think you need to slow down.
Don't you worry about it.
CWCorrina “Mama” Williams
: Oh I do worry about it, that's my job
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.
CWCorrina “Mama” Williams
I know, it's that Po-ist, you just need some time to adjust.
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.
CWCorrina “Mama” Williams
I just worry about you. I know...
I believe Smash is better suited for the position he's in.
FRFemale Reporter
How do you mean?
Well, guys like Smash and Baxter and even Voodoo they got a natural gift for running the ball
FRFemale Reporter
All three are Black, are you saying this gift has something to do with their skin color?
What I'm saying Karen is and I'm saying in a good way, is that guys like Smash are--are fearless, they‘re dangerous. They're like a junkyard dogs. I mean, you want them carrying the ball. You want them tearing up turf out there.
FRFemale Reporter
So let me get this straight, Whites like Saracen make better quarterbacks because they are inherently smarter.
You wanna put it that way, you could. Now, I'm not saying that all Black guys are dumb, just saying they got diff...
Mac, I need to talk to you.
Well, all right. You're telling me that you think Matt Saracen has as much natural ability as a Smash?
You know what I'm telling you, what I'm telling you is that it's not too damn smart to be making generalizations about people's abilities based on their color. Think about that. That's what I'm saying.
All right. What's done is done. No apology's gonna change that.
I'm not making a request.
[after Julie came home late] No, no, look at me. Please don't do this. Don't break our trust. Don't take our trust from us. Please.
I'm sorry; today's just been really...really kind of a crappy day. Matt's been yelling at me all day about...stupid quarterback stuff.
Matt Saracen's got you at quarterback? Wait honey. Hey, come here. What do you mean he's got you at quarterback?
What I perceive other then football is none of your business.
Whoa, I'm just trying to have a dialogue.
Well, you save your dialoguing for your mommy.
Now, wait a minute, you said--
No, you wait a minute son. You wait just a minute. I've been here for 27 years, and I am not about to be interrogated by some too big for his britches teenager, you got me?
What the hell you mean too big for my britches, Mac? You the one saying--
This is done. This is over. I am done with this. I am done. Look, if I hear you whining or anybody else whining about this anymore. You're gonna be warming your ass on the bench Friday night, you got me?
Oh, no, you can't do that.
Oh I can, yeah and I will. I'm tired of this crap.
CTCoach Taylor
Listen to me. Everything hangs in the balance right here. I have a question and I need some advice from you.
CTCoach Taylor
I need to talk to the guidance counselor, not my wife. I need some unbiased, clear, honest advice. Everything hangs in the balance.
Alright, sit down. Come on, sit down.
CTCoach Taylor
The Boosters and Buddy want me to fire Mac McGill. I don't wanna fire Mac McGill. Mac McGill is a damn good coach and Mac McGill is important for me in the playoffs. I thought this was going to end a while ago, I didn't think it would go on as far as it did, I was wrong.
CTCoach Taylor
The question is what do I do about firing Mac McGill?
CTCoach Taylor
Honey, you heard what he said. Everyone heard what he said.
I know, I know what he said. I want to review, let's review. Let's review the events.
CTCoach Taylor
About Smash Williams he said the black players have a gift for running the ball. That they're fearless.
Right. Fearless, they've got a gift. Wasn't there something else in that little phrase?
CTCoach Taylor
He said the thing about the junkyard dog thing, as far as the players like Matt Saracen.
You mean the white players?
CTCoach Taylor
Yes, the white players. He said they don't have the physicality. But he said they have more creative thinking which makes them more suited to lead. That's what he said. It was a stupid thing to say. I understand.
Well, I mean, as the guidance counselor I gotta say that that, to me, is a fireable offense. What he said.
CTCoach Taylor
Alright let me talk to my wife. Let me talk to the person who cares about me and cares about the team, and also has to understand the relevance and the importance to our future of us winning the regional.
There is nothing more clear to me that your team is way more important to you then Mac McGill.
CTCoach Taylor
Is there anyone else I can talk to?
You can talk to your friend.
CTCoach Taylor
What does she have to say?
This is not about Mac McGill, it's not about the team. This is about you. You've been put in this position now where you've got to make the decision. If you don't fire him at this point you are condoning what he said.
CTCoach Taylor
Honey he said something stupid, he's not a racist. He's a friend.
I know, but that is not something for a kids' assistant coach to say. No less for a government employee, which is what he is.
CTCoach Taylor
The three of you scare me.
