"CALLER:" "Now we got to run the table just to make the playoffs!" "SAMMY:" "You may be right there, as well, my friend." "CALLER:" "Let me tell you something, if you ask me," "Tami Taylor should send her resignation and a written apology." "SAMMY:" "Well, I can't disagree with you on any of those points, caller..."

"And now, she's applying to colleges and stuff, right?" "Mmm-hmm." "And I knew that was going to happen." "Obviously, I knew that she was going to go to college, but I guess I just never realized the fact that all the colleges she was going to be applying to were, like, on the other side of the country." "And now, you know, I started just getting mad at her for no reason." "It's like I resent it, but she never asked me to stay here, you know?" "Mmm." "That was my decision." "I decided to do that." "I decided that." "Well, Texas forever, right?" "Yes." "Absolutely." "Texas forever, Saracen." "(GRACIE COOING) Oh!" "I don't know why he changed his mind."

"Hey, where's your brisket?" "Oh, I don't eat meat." "Oh, come on." "Let me go get you a plate." "Um, it's okay." "I actually kind of wanted to talk to you about the other night." "Um, I just want to let you know that I'm not going to tell anybody or anything." "Tell anybody what?" "TAYLOR:" "I want to thank everybody for coming out today to East Dillon's first pep rally of the year. (STAMMERING) Uh, it's okay." "I'm going to...
