We must carry this in our heartsthat what we have is special. That it can be taken from us and that when it is taken from us we will be testedwe will be tested to our very souls.

— Friday Night Lights TV series children

— Friday Night Lights TV series hell

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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series life

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Coach Taylor: Execution! Where the hell’s the execution out there?! Huh? My God, we ought to be beating these bums by 40 points! Riggins, you’re supposed to be one of the toughest guys in the district. They are handing your ass to you, son! You better get your head in the game. Smashnorth, south, north, south.

Lyla: Tim, I know you don’t do anything you don’t want to do, and I guess that’s fine, but don’t insult me.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Tyra: You know, you’re such a big tough guy. You can’t even go see Jason in the hospital. I mean, damn it, Tim, grow a set, why don’t you. ‘Cause we both know that’s what this is all about.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Tyra: Nothing happened. Not really. Besides, don’t pretend like you haven’t slept with half the Rally Girls.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Tyra: Yeah, you know maybe you’re right. Maybe I am wasting my time. ‘Cause you are just another mediocre football player who’s gonna grow up to drink himself to death. Maybe we should just end this right now.

— Friday Night Lights TV series death

Tyra: I am serious, Tim. Are you listening to me? If I get in that car right now I’m never coming back. Do you understand?

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Tyra: UmLook. I know we were never close buddies and I can only image the load of fake crap that you’ve had to put up with from people you hardly even know, and I am so not doing that. I just um--I came by to tell you how sorry I am that Tim hasn’t been in to see you. He wants to. Although, he won’t admit it, but he just can’t do it.

— Friday Night Lights TV series people

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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series hate

Lyla: For Jason, Tim. What, what happened with us came from all these feelings about Jason and what he’s going through. I know it doesn’t make a lot of sense. Do you understand?

— Friday Night Lights TV series feelings

Lyla: What I’m saying is, I don’t feel anything for you, okay. That wasn’t even me that night. That was--I don’t even know who that was but it will never happen again. No one can ever know about it and it meant nothing. Do you understand me, Tim?

— Friday Night Lights TV series night

Coach Taylor: I gotta tell yall something. Im pissed at these boys from Arnett Mead. I know youre pissed, too. Lets get one thing straight, right now. This ends here. Theres not gonna be any retaliation. Theres gonna be no getting back. Rivalry week ends now. Tell you what we are gonna do, were going to take this energy that we have and were gonna take this anger that we have and were gonna use it to kick their ass where it counts, on the field. Is that understood?

— Friday Night Lights TV series anger

Lyla: Pretend that you’re interested in my school work. It’s obvious that you’re not, that you’re just trying to--

— Friday Night Lights TV series work

Lyla: Okay. What do you want to talk about Tim? The fact that you’re sleeping with your paralyzed best friend’s girlfriend. Is that what you want to talk about, Tim? No, I don’t think we’re going to be doing a lot of talking.

— Friday Night Lights TV series sleep

Matt: Uh..I don’t know. Well, that’s the coach’s decision. You know, whatever he decides, I’m there for. But I’ve been working hard so I’m ready, I feel good about it. I just---you know whatever he feels is best for the team, that’s—that’s what I’m ready to do, so

Ray Voodoo Tatum: I’m not here to make friends. This ain’t my home. This ain’t my school. It never will be.

— Friday Night Lights TV series friends

Ray Voodoo Tatum: I don’t like the food here, the music, the weather. I can definitely do without everybody going on and on about the great state of Texas. I’m here to get noticed, get recruited and get my ass to LSU. And you? You just trying to scrape by. Trying to win some games, keep your job. You and me are an arranged marriage. Nothing more. Now you seen what I can do. You wanna start Saracen you go right ahead.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series sin

Julie: Texas isn’t even a state. Technically it’s a Republic. Itd be nice to live somewhere that’s actually a part of this planet.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

Coach Taylor: I think sometimes that for anyone to do what I do, it is damn near impossible to not sell your soul just a little bit down the river.

— Friday Night Lights TV series time

Tim: My truck ain’t running. We’re putting in this four-barrel carb. I hitched a ride, man. Sorry.

— Friday Night Lights TV series man

Lyla: Tim, we have to stop this. Look at me, Tim. Please. Jason is getting out of there soon. He’s changing; he’s getting back to his old self.

— Friday Night Lights TV series self

Lyla: Don’t react like that. You knew this had to end. Look, I take full responsibility for everything that’s happened. It’s all my fault.

— Friday Night Lights TV series responsibility

Lyla: I feel like I have to make a choice here Tim before things get more messed up then they already are. I care about you Tim, I do. I just, I can’t live with myself anymore.

— Friday Night Lights TV series self

Tami: Listen, I know. I was just like you. I was the pretty girl in school. I was terrible at math. I got myself through it.

— Friday Night Lights TV series self

Tami: Tyra, it’s your choice. If you wanna go off and take the GED, fine, but you better bring me proof that you did it, otherwise, you are taking Algebra with Mr. Wendell next semester.

— Friday Night Lights TV series choice

Lyla: I don’t know how to talk to you when you’re like this. I mean, God it’s not even 7 o’clock and you can barely stand. You can blame me if you want, Tim. You can blame the whole world for all I care, but if you think being drunk all the time is gonna make this any easier, you’re wrong. It’s not cool or charming. It’s just pathetic and gross and I feel sorry for you. I really do.

— Friday Night Lights TV series god

Jason: I don’t know. I still don’t know if I’m ready to face everybody yet. You know, it’s embarrassing being the center of attention and all.

— Friday Night Lights TV series sin

Jason: Well, for football maybe, but not for being hurt. I mean, come on, it’s like “Hey everybody come check out the freak show, don’t feed the animals”.

— Friday Night Lights TV series hurt

Matt: Maybe, or not, I mean—I just thought I’d throw that out there. But it’s, it’s probably a bad idea.

— Friday Night Lights TV series thought

Landry: Matt, that’s the thing. You’re not listening to me. If you look at a girl like a geometry proof the answer is just right in front of you. It’s your job to find the missing variable. You gotta solve for x.

— Friday Night Lights TV series sin

Matt: Have you, um, you haven’t maybe thought about um, maybe, what I, what I asked you the other night about maybe going out.

— Friday Night Lights TV series thought

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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series progress

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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series healing

Coach Taylor: All right, listen up. I’m supposed to give you some fatherly and wise advice at this time in your life. Listen up, if you’re wondering if a boy’s thinking about you, he’s not. He’s thinking about sex or hes hungry, those are the only two options.

— Friday Night Lights TV series life

Coach Taylor: No, I’m not finished, listen to me. Boys think about sex every single minute of the day. That’s what they do, that’s why they lie. They’re gonna leave you waiting around for them to call and they won’t call. They’re gonna be cruel and they’re gonna be misleading, and your mother wanted me to add this, that by in large football players are the worst offenders, however, I think that it pretty much crosses all lines.

— Friday Night Lights TV series sex

Coach Taylor: You are beautiful, you are sensitive, you are sweet and I don’t want to see you get hurt.

— Friday Night Lights TV series beautiful

Tami: It’s becoming a thing. I mean, it’s a thing. And you know what thing it is, it’s that thing that we always knew was going to happen to our little girl. It’s that thing—that thing’s happening now.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Mama Williams: Take your smart mouth and your plate and get away from my table. You don’t talk to me like that.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

Buddy: WellWe all make mistakes, and we—we grow up, but you’re my little girl. You’re my daughter and I want you to always remember that.

— Friday Night Lights TV series mistakes

Julie: Matt, you gotta get out of that mindset, otherwise, he’s just gonna squash this, whatever—whatever this is.

— Friday Night Lights TV series mind

Lyla: It’s different for girls. You can sleep around all you want and people think you’re cool. I make one mistake—and it was a mistake. Tim you’re making it worse. You can’t be here.

— Friday Night Lights TV series people

Tim: I guess—I guess what I came here to tell you is that Lyla is completely in love with you and always has been and always will be. She’s going through hell right now, Street. Hell.

— Friday Night Lights TV series love

Tim: People at school are just ripping on her. I mean, she quit cheer. She’s losing it. And I know it means probably nothing coming from me, but I thought you should know.

— Friday Night Lights TV series people

Tami: The big deal is, that its part of my job to make sure that you dont grow up stupidits bad for the world.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

Landry: You know what it is? He’s probably all messed up from the war. That’s exactly what it--he’s gone war crazy with Operation Freedom flashbacks and stuff.

— Friday Night Lights TV series war

Julie: He’s not war crazy. He’s just—He should see you play, I mean, if you get him to one of the games he’ll understand what all of the fuss is about.

— Friday Night Lights TV series war

Matt: Well, yeah, he’s gonna straighten all of that out. I mean--I mean, really, this is a perfect time for him to come home because clearly I can’t get it done.

— Friday Night Lights TV series time

Jason: The town cripple? How long do you think that charity would’ve lasted, huh? It’s killing me to have to do this to Coach, it’s killing me to have to do this to the team but maybe they’re all right. The lawyers, my parents maybe they’re right. Maybe someone teaches me to tackle somebody I’m not in a chair. We’re not in this mess.

— Friday Night Lights TV series law

Matt: Honestly, I was just kinda wishing that Arnett Mead loses to Buckley and then we get to go the playoffs then I don’t have to spend everyday of the rest of my life wondering what if as I punch into the feed store.

— Friday Night Lights TV series life

Buddy: Thank you Lord for letting Buckley win. I know it was nothing short of a miracle and I thank you for that miracle. I know you truly are an all powerful God to let such a crap team win.

— Friday Night Lights TV series god

Tyra: There’s a trait in the women in my family that just drives men crazy. Treat us like crap and always come back for more.

— Friday Night Lights TV series women

Tim: That’s, uh. That’s actually what I was here to talk to you about. I am truly sorry for everything that has happened, for what I’ve put you through, everything that happened with Lyla. I was a complete jerk and I am so sorry. If you would even consider giving me a second chance, Tyra, believe me it’ll be so different. Sorry.

— Friday Night Lights TV series believe

Tyra: You know, so many times, I would have loved to hear those words come out of your mouth. God, I’d love to say yes, but I’d hate myself for it. I’d be a hypocrite you know? I guess timing is everything.

— Friday Night Lights TV series love

Smash: There’s something else I gotta say. Yeah, I like myself, and I love football. I love it. I love the game. I love the crowds. I love the attention. I love being a star. I can’t help it. It’s a beautiful thing it’s just who I am, it’s how God made me. I like you a lot, Waverly. I mean more than I’ve ever liked any other girl. But if you don’t like me for me then I gotta live with it ‘cause I can’t be nobody but the Smash. Yes, I like talking about myself in the third person. Something tells me deep down inside you like it too.

— Friday Night Lights TV series love

Smash: 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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series life

Mama Williams: ‘Cause I didn’t want to think that you were dumb enough to do something so stupid on your own.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Smash: 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?

— Friday Night Lights TV series day

Coach Taylor: 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?

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Coach Taylor: 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?

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Buddy: 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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series truth

Buddy: 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?

— Friday Night Lights TV series life

Buddy: 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?

— Friday Night Lights TV series love

Buddy: 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?

— Friday Night Lights TV series love

Jason: You’re beautiful, you’re smart and you’re talented and you’ve got your whole future ahead of you.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

Jason: But if it were you that he loved. If it were youLyla I love you more then life itself and I have loved you like that since the first moment I laid eyes on you. Lyla Garritywill you marry me? Baby?

— Friday Night Lights TV series love

Jason: It’s your team? It’s your team?! How about a little compassion, Mr. Garrity? I mean I am paralyzed now.

— Friday Night Lights TV series passion

Lyla: No, sometimes I don’t think you care about that anymore, or you think it’s lame and it scares me.

— Friday Night Lights TV series time

Lyla: 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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Tim: Thanks, Mr. Nicklaus. I actually would take a swing tip from you if I wasn’t kicking your ass right now.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Matt: 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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series night

Corrina “Mama” Williams: Child, where you been, its almost time for Leno. Brian, you been running this whole time?

— Friday Night Lights TV series time

Smash: Thats your job? Well Im doing my job, too, Mama. Alright? Im so tired, I can barely finish my sets without feeling like Im gonna fall over and die.

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Smash: Mama, I dont have any time! You know whats its like over there? Its like blood in the water! I mean, Ive got backs to try and steal my job, and Coach watching me like a hawk! So no, no Im not gonna slow down at least not right now.

— Friday Night Lights TV series time

Coach Mac: Well, guys like Smash and Baxter and even Voodoo they got a natural gift for running the ball

— Friday Night Lights TV series running

Female Reporter: All three are Black, are you saying this gift has something to do with their skin color?

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Coach Mac: 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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series fear

Female Reporter: So let me get this straight, Whites like Saracen make better quarterbacks because they are inherently smarter.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

Coach Mac: You wanna put it that way, you could. Now, I’m not saying that all Black guys are dumb, just saying they got diff

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Coach Mac: Well, all right. You’re telling me that you think Matt Saracen has as much natural ability as a Smash?

— Friday Night Lights TV series you

Coach Taylor: 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.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

Julie: I’m sorry; today’s just been reallyreally kind of a crappy day. Matt’s been yelling at me all day aboutstupid quarterback stuff.

— Friday Night Lights TV series art

Coach Taylor: Matt Saracen’s got you at quarterback? Wait honey. Hey, come here. What do you mean he’s got you at quarterback?
