[to the football team] Maybe we're forgetting that we're a lot stronger together than we're ever gonna be alone. I realize that I am not anywhere close to one of the most talented players in this room and I know I've never played one real down of football but, but I know we can - we can either win together or we can lose alone. And I know it sounds stupid but it is an honor just to stand in here with ya'll.
S2 E5Let's Get It On
Hey, what are you doing?
I'm, leaving, Tim.
What do you mean "You're leaving?"
I'm just... I'm going.
Why?
Because: You guys just think it is a big joke.
I don't think think it's a big joke, Lyla.
Really? All you've done is going to whorehouses and karaoke bars.
Yeah, what else do you do in Mexico, Garrity?
You're an idiot. You think this is easy for me? You call me down here to help, and Jason didn't even know I was coming, you have no plan whatsoever...
Actually yes, as the matter of fact, I do have a plan. Guess what? It's right here.
Oh really, what's your plan, Tim?
Yeah.
A BOOZE CRUISE? THIS is your plan?
Yeah, a booze cruise. All inclusive meal, snorkeling, dolphins. Yeah. A booze cruise. I thought it'll be good time to chat to him on the boat. What?
You think that: Way to talk to have a conversation with someone who's about to make the biggest mistake is his life is by taking him on a booze cruise?
Yeah, kind of, sort of.
[scoffs and shakes her head]
What?
I don't even know what it'd begin to tell you how distorted your view of the world is.
I'm distorted, my view's distorted? Really?
Yeah, really, Tim.
Alright, that's great. Oh, that's great. I'm not the one...
Really?
Yeah, yeah. I may as screwed up as you're saying, and that's fine, go with that. But at least I'm by Jay's side. At least I'm going through WHATEVER it is we're gonna go through together. I'll take him back in a BOX to Texas if I have to, Lyla. You? The second you're suss, you're ready to get on the next plane to Texas. That kind of sucks, for Jay AND for me. You know what? You know I'm right. You just won't admit it. I sin daily and I'm a better Christian than you, Garrity.
Fine, I'll go on your stupid 'booze cruise'. You'd better man up and have a conversation with him. This is an intervention, Tim, and I can't do it by myself.
S2 E6How Did I Get Here
You can have it all, but you can't have it all at once, so you take your memories where you can get'em. Right, Riggs?
Absolutely. Here's to many more memories. Happy birthday, Six.
What did I get you last year, Six?
Nothing. And I expect nothing from you this year either. The last time you actually gave me something, it was your brother's pool cue, you didn't tell him about it and he threatened to beat me up unless I gave it back to him. [chuckles at the memory] So, I'm gonna try not to get anything from you this year.
[amused to see Smash in his house] What's up?
Hey look, I want you to come over for dinner tonight. My momma'll cook.
[feigns horror] Are you asking me out on a date, Williams?
You ever notice that no one ever changes in this town? Nothing ever changes. Everybody goes to the same church or...same job, same restaurants. Everybody goes to the football game on Friday night. It's like this huge fish tank we're all stuck in and you can't find a way out. I'm kinda...I'm stuck. I'm stuck. [...] I'm not here to talk to God, I'm here to talk to you. 'Cause out of everyone I know, you're just about the only one that's changed their life and I admire it and I just wondered how you did it.
You just do it.
Tell you something, coaches and players, they learn from each other. It goes both ways. You lift up everyone around you. A powerful gift earned. I hope I didn't let you down.
[grins] No, you didn't let me down, Coach.
S2 E7Pantherama!
[Reading Julie's article] Quote: "Athletic director and Panther football coach Eric Taylor had no comment". She asked me through the bathroom door. What am I supposed to do? I was busy!
S2 E9The Confession
[as he and Santiago drive around] So you're ready for the game tonight? You may see some playing time tonight, son.
What the hell's the point of all this?
What'd you say, Santiago?
I can't do it.
What?
What do you care if I play, huh? You don't know me. You're not my pops! You don't know nothing about me. You're just some fat white guy who wants to make himself feel good, that's what you are. And I don't need nothing from you, all right? I don't need to work at your car dealership and I sure as hell don't need football!
[Buddy pulls over the car]
Shut that door. Shut the door! I'll tell you what, you want to go back to that cafeteria eating off of plastic with 200 guys going nowhere, you be my guest, son. Now listen to me. Tonight is your night. You have an opportunity to go out there and accept the challenge. You have the opportunity to become part of a team. If you don't do it tonight, then you're never gonna do it in your entire life. Now, I'm goin' to the field. So you get out, be my guest.
I hate you. I hate you.
[Buddy starts driving again]
[(Matt and Carlotta are making out on his bed when his grandmother walks in and Matt covers Carlotta with his sheets]
Matthew. Did you eat my Snackwells? My Snackwells!
Grandma, it's probably late for you to be eating snacks.
Well, I want you to ask Carlotta if she ate the Snackwells.
You want me to ask her now?
Well, no. In the morning! Getting kinda tired of this.
[Matt uncovers Carlotta's head]
You stole my grandma's Snackwells. You probably ate 'em too. First you take the tapioca...
[Carlotta laughs]
And I went inside to get the food, and she stayed outside. As soon as I heard what was happening I ran out, I dropped the bag and I ran out. And then I just started hitting him.
Stepped in to help your friend, is that it?
I wanted to kill him, sir.
Yeah but he was actually hurting the girl, right?
I picked up a pipe that was on the ground and I ran over and I hit him, I hit him twice on the head as hard as I could.
S2 E10There Goes the Neighborhood
You just gotta let it go sometimes, you just...gotta let people be who they wanna be and just let 'em go make out with whoever they wanna make out in front of whoever they feel like.
You don't just give up though. If you really care about something you don't just give up. You do whatever it takes.
[Taylor has Coach Dickies against the wall after locker room fight] Listen to me... if you ever, I mean EVER, touch one of my players again, you will never coach another football game as long as you live, you understand me? And after that, I will kick your old, tired ass six ways from Sunday, Donald. [to Santiago, laughing] Shut up.
S2 E11Jumping the Gun
[Seracen has thrown a wide pass to Riggins, who runs it towards the goal line] Tim Riggins could go all the way!
[Dickies runs onto the field and side-checks Riggins, sending him to the ground]
HOLY COW!
[screaming in disbelief] HEY... WHOA!
You see that? YOU SEE THAT! All you gotta do is take him down!
[his assistant tries to restrain him, he shoves him away]
Get offa me! Get offa me! That's all it takes to take somebody down! Ya stick 'em!
[the stadium has fallen silent by this point]
You can say goodbye to playoffs!
[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!
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!
[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!
My wife's got three months to live... and I don't have a game plan for that.
[Taylor is speechless]
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.
Thanks.
