Why'd you do it? Why didn't you think about it Dad?
Lyla, your dad's a sinner, I'm a weak man, but it was one mistake. I swear Lyla, I will never, ever do anything to hurt this family again honey. I swear.

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

I think if you ignore the bully the bully will go away
Know what, man? No offense, but if you ignore the bully, he's gonna kick your ass even more.
JMJackie Miller
How do you know? Were you bullied in the fourth grade?
No, I was the bully.
[On the Dillon High football field]
What do you mean she's bipolar?
It means she's crazy.
Look, Matt, it just means she's got issues, you know. Just like everybody else in this town.
[to Smash] Well, how are you handling it?
Takin' it like a man, Matty. You know....avoiding her calls, ducking out, hiding in the bushes.
[protests] I got a lot of crap going on right now. I don't need another problem, ok?
[jokingly] You got troubles, Matty? What you got, QB1?
[teases] Saracen's got a little something on his mind, fellas.
Aww, you got troubles, Matty? Come on, talk to the Smash. I'll help you out.
Just sayin'....
Look, you wanna see troubles, look at me. [mutters] Crazy Waverly.
We comparing girl problems now? I just tried to make out with my next-door neighbor who is at least in her mid-thirties. [Smash and Matt all stare at him] Pretty much got put through the wall for that one. So I think I win.
[deadpan] No. Chair says I win. Every time. [chuckles]
He got that.
Six wins.

Tyra is that you, what are you doing here?
Nothing just wishing I could build a time machine and go back and shoot who ever it is that invented Algebra, that's for sure.
Well, see that's kind of a Catch-22, though because in order to invent that time machine you may need to use Algebra.
Why haven't you called? It doesn't look like you're busy, it looks like you're watching TV. Listen I know it may be a lot to ask of you to call me so that I know if we are engaged or boyfriend and girlfriend or really good pals.
Get off my back, Lyla. What do I have right now, huh? I got a girlfriend who cheated on me. I got parents that are breaking up because of some stupid lawsuit. I lost the Coach, lost the team, lost my friends, lost Quad Rugby. So I got nothing, so I'm sorry if I'm not being the perfect boyfriend right now but I got a lot more on my mind then powder puff and prom, and this cup is way too full; I'll spill it you know that.
[throws cup of water on Jason] No it's not too full.
What the hell was that for?!
You think it's been easy for me helping you in and out of that chair.
Well no one is holding a gun to your head.
I do it because I love you stupid, but now you're sitting here feeling sorry for yourself and acting like a jackass all the time. You wanna play Rugby find another team; you hate this lawsuit so much find a way to make it go away. Next time you want a glass of water, say please.
That kid calling you Daddy, yet?
Uh uh, doesn't know anything about it.
I might not have a PhD in stupid like you do, but I'm a tell you right now this is gonna turn out badly, hell is probably gonna end badly right around State.
[tackles Matt Saracen and kisses him] I'll always love you no matter what happens.
S1 E21Best Laid Plans
[to Tyra] But for some reason I really just think that there's a guy out there that'll show up sober, that'll listen to you when you talk, that'll actually, you know, respect your opinions and actually take care of you and recognize you for the smart and beautiful and caring woman that you are, Tyra...
CTCoach Taylor
We done fighting?
Uh huh.
CTCoach Taylor
I love you. I respect you. I am proud of you. I am in love with you completely. I'm sorry for the way all this happened. [pause] I'll tell you what, though. Austin is going to be good to this family.
I know it is. But, baby, I'm not going to Austin. I can't leave here now.
Sunday. Big championship game. How you feeling?
Good, I'm feelin' good.
Yeah, you think you're ready?
Yeah!
You think he's ready?
I don't think he's ready.
I'm not thinking you're ready either.
I'm thinking that if he plays up in Dallas like he played last Friday night, they're gonna eat him for breakfast.
That's pretty much what I'm thinking.
I think they're gonna squash him.
Pretty much like a bug.
Like a flea, Saracen.
So I don't want you restin' on your laurels, you understand me?
You don't have any laurels, Saracen.
Not a damn laurel. Here's what's gonna happen: You're gonna be workin' with Jason here.
Okay.
You're gonna do everything Jason tells you to. And you're gonna do it 'cause Jason has my blessing. So if he tells you to jump off a cliff, I want you to jump off that cliff. Now you tell me: Saracen, why are you gonna jump off that cliff?
'Cause, 'cause he has your blessing?
That's exactly right! [To Jason] You have any problems, you let me know.
Thank you, coach.
Have a good day, son. [Leaves the office]
All right, coach.
What are you still standing there for, Saracen? Go finish your weights, finish your program. Get your plays. Meet me in the film room for lunch. And get used to that because we're gonna be havin' an awful lot of meals together.
Well, actually I usually have lunch with Julie.
I'll take care of Julie for you, don't worry about it. I'll give her a nice call and tell her there's a new girl in town. And that girl is me! Thank you, Saracen. Hit the weights.
Okay. Great.
Let start tonight with... Smash. Now what is there to say about Smash? There's nothing to say about him, I don't think, that he hasn't already said about himself.
I'm in on it, now you got me on that, Coach. You got me on that.
Smash Now, for as long as I know Tim Riggins, there's only two phrases that can put a smile on his face. Number 1: We're going to State. And Number 2: The results are in: You are NOT the father.
