"What are all those chunks in there?" "What is that?" "Oh, some of it didn't blend, I don't think." "That's all right." "I used to make those for my brother, occasionally." "That's what got him a State Championship, if I do say so myself, and it also got him into college." "The difference between you and Tim is that Tim actually liked to hit people." "I don't get the vibe that you do." "I do, Coach." "Well, I never seen it." "You tell me you like to hit people?" "Hell, yeah." "Well, let me tell you about a guy named Tommy Larkins." "6'3", 215-pound receiver for the Dillon Panthers." "This is him right here." "You tell me you like to hit, then I want you to go out on the first play of that game, and you knock that kid on his ass." "You get a bead on him and you take him out." "You think you can do that?"

"I said get some water, not drink all of it." "Let's go!" "What school do they get the kids to the pros quick, man?" "Big school." "Like Oklahoma, Florida..."

"So make him the king." "That's all I'm saying." "All right." "All right." "I know you got the play." "I mean, you the mastermind, you know what I'm saying?" "I mean, I'm just talking about, "Bam!"" "And he going to hit it on the button." "You know what I mean, everybody going to cheer." "They going to do a pep rally for you." "Just for you, not the team, man."

"I can't get her to leave this house." "And I'll be damned if our daughter is going to miss out on her first semester of college." "What are you going to do?" "Go up there and take the classes for her, too?" "Don't argue with me." "I'm not arguing with you." "I'll go bring the books back." "But for God's sake, it's like the kid's in kindergarten." "She'll have a week to study, and then we got a week to get her up there and take her exams." "You're supposed to go to school so you can gain some independence." "That damn kid's climbing back in the womb again." "Well." "While you're up there, why don't you tell them they have an employee who happens to be sleeping around with students." "Well, it takes two to tango on that one." "I hate to tell you." "I don't want to hear about that." "Don't say that." "(MOANS)" "Come here." "Thanks for setting up the barbeque and everything." "Oh, you're welcome, babe." "(SOFTLY) Thanks for all you do." "Thanks for our two beautiful daughters." "Thanks for doing all the laundry." "(CHUCKLES)" "Hey." "Hmm?" "Do you want to fool around?" "Mmm-hmm." "Yeah?" "Sure." "DEREK:" "You're asking for the syllabus for next semester's course, right?" "STUDENT:" "Mmm-hmm." "DEREK:" "Let's see." "Here it is." "There's that." "Hi." "Hi." "Can I help you?" "I don't want to interrupt y'all." "Oh, no." "Not at all." "Yeah, this is..." "You're going to love this." "So check that out, make the changes on the paper," "I'll see you tomorrow, okay?" "Can I help you with something?" "Well, I'm looking for Professor Nevins." "Are you Professor Nevins?" "He's actually not in right now." "No, I'm his TA, Derek." "Is there anything I could help you with?" "Um..." "I'm here to pick up an independent study for Julie Taylor." "How is she?" "She's fine." "Julie, um..." "You know, I haven't seen anything around." "Give me one second." "Yeah, you know, sometimes he leaves things in here." "She will need that." "And I think if there is anything, it would be..." "Yeah." "Here we go." "American History 110," "Julie Taylor." "Great." "There you go." "It should be..." "That should be everything." "Thank you very much." "(PEOPLE CHEERING)" "(CHATTERING)" "Hey, Caff." "You going to break some heads tonight, right?" "Yes, sir." "Yeah, man, you show that Tommy Larkins what these Lions are really made of." "I'm going to rip Tommy Larkins' head off." "Rip it off the shoulders and then I'll spit down his throat, that's what I'm going to do!" "I'm going to bring the wood and mash up every bone in his body." "That's what I'm going to do." "Hey, that's what I'm talking about!" "All the way to State, baby!" "Hey, rally girl." "What did you just call me?" "Stadium's that way." "I'm not going to the game." "All right." "ANNOUNCER:" "It's game time, folks, and with so much bad blood between these Lions and Panthers, it's finally time to settle this thing on the football field." "We're the only team in Dillon!" "We're the only team in Dillon!" "All right, listen up, listen up!" "We're not playing this game in the stands, understand?" "Forget about that crap." "This game happens on the field." "Commitment." "We got that, we got this game." "Let's go." "Let's go." "VINCE:" "Bring it down on three." ""Lions" on three." "One, two, three." "ALL:" "Panthers!" "Get in!" "ANNOUNCER:" "Panthers over the ball." "Bragging rights and the Oil Rig trophy on the line." "Luke Cafferty sets the defense, drawing a bead on Panther Tommy Larkins." "LUKE:" "Good night, 8-5." "Yeah, I'm talking to you, baby." "These two teams just don't like each other." "Look out." "Panthers got it." "(GRUNTING) Oh!" "Cafferty lays him out." "That will wake you up in the morning." "Cafferty really brought the lumber on that hit." "And look at this, folks." "The Panthers' All-State wide receiver Tommy Larkins is down." "That's what I'm talking about." "Hey!" "Hey!" "Yeah!" "The Lions letting 'em hear about it on the sideline." "And fasten your seatbelts." "The tone has been set for a bare-knuckle brawl, y'all." "(INDISTINCT)" "Second and 15, Panthers dropping back." "Luke Cafferty coming off the edge." "Quarterback's scrambling." "Oh!" "Down he goes." "Another big hit by Luke Cafferty, who's just bringing the pain." "There's some smack-talking and jaw-jacking going on out there." "Looks like laundry day, folks." "The flags are flying." "Man, oh, man, these boys just do not like each other." "Lions penalty, but I guess that's the only way the Panthers are going to get a first down tonight." "Oh, no, no." "He a scrambler." "He a scrambler." "He got legs." "Ready, set!" "Vince Howard over center, bringing the Lions out." "Hut!" "There's the snap." "It's a fake draw." "He's looking deep." "Vince Howard tucks it away." "He's got a little room." "Big move to the outside." "Oh, Vince Howard, another cut!" "Vince Howard could take this in, folks." "Bruising faces for six." "Another touchdown for the Lions." "Oh, my!" "How do you do?" "Oh!" "You called him a scrambler." "There it is." "That's it!" "(ALL CHANTING)" "Panthers have to find a way to get back in this game, folks." "There's the pass across the middle." "Luke Cafferty's got it." "He's taking off!" "They're coming the other way." "His entire team in front of him." "Luke Cafferty putting on the burners." "Yes!" "Here we go!" "Oh, my!" "The rout is on!" "Touchdown, Lions." "Somebody hold the damn phone." "And there's the kick." "It's a long, high ball." "Panthers back to receive." "Got a little edge on the outside." "There he goes." "Picks him up." "Buddy Garrity, Jr!" "Monster hit on the Panthers' return man." "Oh, my." "These Lions are on fire." "Let the party begin." "(WHISTLE BLOWING)" "And look at this." "More flags are flying out there." "This game might be getting out of control." "Coach, are you not going to do anything about that, Eric?" "Come on!" "Hey, what's that?" "CROWLEY:" "You're not doing anything about that, Eric?" "Hey, Coach, calm down." "They're having fun." "I'm not talking to you!" "I am not talking to you!" "And it looks like that's all she wrote for the once-mighty Panthers." "Let's take a knee, let's run the clock out." "Let's go home." "Coach Taylor sending Vince Howard out for the last play of the game." "What a contest, folks." "Really no contest." "The Lions, victory formation." "They're going to take a knee here, folks, head into the locker room, and celebrate this great victory here tonight." "What the hell's he doing?" "What are you doing?" "Wait a second." "Howard's shifting the offense." "Hey, what are you doing?" "Looks like they're going to run a play here, folks." "Howard takes the snap, he's looking deep." "Oh, my!" "Did he launch that thing!" "And Panther Coach Mac McGill can't believe this." "Sixty-five yards in the air," "Ruckle's got it." "Oh!" "It's going to be another touchdown." "Put some sprinkles on the ice cream, folks." "That is dessert." "Another Lions touchdown." "Oh, my!" "A good old-fashioned Texas butt-whooping." "Nice throw." "If y'all were wondering if Coach Taylor walked into this game with a chip on his shoulder," "I'd say it was more like a block of cement." "Ouch." "There is no love lost here." "We in this!" "That's not who we are, Eric." "For you, there it is." "DALLAS:" "What are you going to say, huh?" "What are you going to say?" "Get off my field!" "Get off the field!" "Go home!" "Go home, you bunch of losers!" "Go home!" "Get off my field!" "(LOUD CHEERING)" "So you're saying you chose tonight to throw the longest pass of your life during the most meaningless play of the entire season?" "What the Panthers did to you, what they did to us, yeah, they deserved it." "Yeah, I did." "And you're saying your father didn't have anything to do with that?" "Yeah, he did." "So what?" "All right, yeah." "He did talk to me." "We won, didn't we?" "He's looking out for my future." "That's right." "I did it." "We're 7-0 right now." "We won, all right?" "You're supposed to be happy." "He's looking out for me." "ALL:" "East side!" "East side!" "East side!" "East side!" "Got us a keg from his dad's bar." "Hook it up, party night." "How you doing, Luke?" "I'm well." "How you doing, sir?" "Look here, I have a young man that would love to have your autograph on his hat." "Oh, absolutely." "And, man, you hit number 85, you made him look like a war casualty, man." "Yes, sir." "Congratulations." "Thank you." "Y'all have a good night." "Like, tried to cut it out." "Yeah." "That's kind of my..." "Hey, Fours." "I'll see you later." "So you stay for the whole game?" "Yeah." "Rally girls had to do concession." "Nice." "Cool." "Congrats on the win, football player." "Oh, thanks." "Glad you liked it." "What are you doing?" "Going to Buddy's bar." "We're going to snag a keg." "No, I mean, like, what are you doing?" "You're acting really weird towards me." "Am I?" "Just..." ""Hey, rally girl, stadium's that way."" "(CHUCKLING) I mean..." "I mean, what is that?" "I figured it was just like testosterone pumping for the game, but..." "I don't know." "Maybe." "I don't know." "Well, you're just usually friendly, and you call me by my name and..." "Well, no..." "I mean, you like it when I'm nice to you?" "Yeah, I like it when you're nice to me." "Okay." "I'm so sorry." "Just..." "Someone told me that if I..." "Someone told me if I wanted you to like me" "I had to, like, ignore you and blow you off and then..." "Then you'll like me." "Look, Becky, I hate acting this way towards you, all right?" "I really like you." "Well, I really like you, too." "You do?" "Yeah." "I really, really do." "(LAUGHING)" "Why are you laughing?" "It totally worked." "Shut up." "(CHATTERING ON TV)" "(DOOR OPENING)" "Laundry's done and I cleaned the kitchen." "How was the game?" "Thank you for cleaning the kitchen." "I didn't go to the game." "Where did you get these?" "I just drove to Burleson." "Did you talk to Derek?" "Mmm-hmm." "What did he say?" "You need to study." "WOMAN ON RADIO:" "Coach Taylor should be ashamed of himself." "You saw the game." "Am I crazy here?" "SAMMY:" "Well, caller, I can't disagree with you on that one." "All those penalties, all that trash-talking capped off with a completely unnecessary in-your-face 65-yard touchdown bomb to close the game." "Well, Coach Taylor, I only have one question..." "You going to go to Buddy's for a beer?" "What the hell were you thinking?" "Don't feel like celebrating tonight." "What on earth was the point of all that?" "Our phone lines are lit up." "Fine." "It seems like there's a lot of y'all out there who want to weigh in on this subject." "(DOOR CLOSING)" "(ORNETTE CHATTERING)" "Cool." "We can make some big changes with you there." "You saw that arm, didn't you?" "Oh, yeah." "Okay." "Pull out of our campus, you take a left, you're on the beach." "Take a right, you're in the mountains." "Great spot." "Beach and the mountains?" "RECRUITER:" "About an hour away from the mountains." "Great place." "It's a beautiful campus." "ORNETTE:" "All right." "RECRUITER:" "So you make sure that when you get a chance, you guys give me a call, okay?" "You'll really like it." "It's a great place to go to school." "Yes, sir." "Thank you again for coming out." "RECRUITER:" "Come out and take a visit." "ORNETTE:" "We'll knock." "We'll knock." "(ENGINE STARTING)" "I got you."
