"I brought you your stuff." "Never pictured you as a snow globe kind of guy." "My mom gave me that one." "You Tim Riggins?" "We need to ask you a few questions about some missing cars." "You're a good dude." "And Jess, she deserves the best." "I'm glad you two are together." "What if I Don't want to have the baby?" "You provided this girl the information to get her child aborted." "I did not, ma'am." "We spent some time last night preparing a statement for the press." "We've lined up a reporter who's friendly for an interview." "Paul, this is an apology." "I'm being..." "And you'll get to keep your job." "RODELL:" "Let's remember this is a classic rivalry, but a friendly rivalry as well." "So that we can move forward to what I hope is a long tradition of our subway series, our Big Cat Clash." "Yeah." "Let's hear it." "(CROWD CHANTING)" "Let's bring our two coaches together to show us how we come together, instead of fall apart." "Good luck." "Good luck." "RODELL:" "And let's bring our team captains together, too." "These gentlemen have led their teams to victory and one of them is going to do it one more time." "We know how to get along in this town." "I think we can all come together and say," ""Go, Cats, go." "Go, Cats, go." "(CROWD CHANTING)" "How many cars were there?" "Uh, a few." "A few." "Five?" "More than five?" "It was..." "It was more than five." "More than five?" "Baby, we're trying to have a meeting here, okay?" "Seriously, look, we didn't steal the cars." "The charge Isn't theft, It's trafficking in stolen merchandise." "How much time?" "Well, neither of you have serious records." "You both have a drunk and disorderly." "Billy, you've got the two petty theft convictions." "You have two petty theft convictions?" "Baby, It's not like you're a saint either, you know." "Remember where we met." "Nice." "I'm sorry." "Look, I think I can make a deal." "Plead guilty to the trafficking charges, and get you off the hook on the tax evasion, the accessory to grand theft auto." "If I can get you that deal, you're looking at about one to five years." "(SIGHS)" "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Julie Taylor, you come on in here, girl." "Mrs. Saracen, how are you?" "It's so good to see you." "Oh, It's good to see you." "I can't stay long." "I just came over to see if you wanted a ride to Thanksgiving at our house since Shelby's out of town." "Well, no, 'cause Matthew's got that rental car and we'll just come over there in that, darling." "Matt's in Chicago." "Oh, well, but..." "You know what, honey, why Don't I make that leek and onion casserole." "Think I got the recipe." "It's actually better than it sounds." "TAYLOR:" "Friday night, you're going to be challenged like you have never been challenged before." "The question flying around town is," ""Can the Dillon Panthers be beat?"" "Do we have the resources they have?" "Do we have the Booster dollars they have, the experience they have?" "No, we don't." "Are we playing on their field?" "Yes, we are." "However, there is more than one way to skin a cat." "Preparation, preparation, preparation." "We are going to stack our strengths up against their weaknesses, 'cause I'm gonna tell you something, while the Dillon Panthers are over on the West Side, preparing for their Thanksgiving feast, getting their little fancy soirees together," "dreaming about their playoff win and their State Championship title, well, by God, we're going to be on this field right here, physically and mentally preparing for one thing and one thing only, and that is beating the Dillon Panthers." "(ALL AGREEING) Now listen to me." "Listen to me." "You look around at each other right now, you look at each other and you ask yourselves, gentlemen, because it is time, "What kind of a man am I?"" "Because Friday night," "Friday night, there will be a bond formed between and among you that will never be broken." "I will not be proven wrong on that." "Do I think that we can beat the Dillon Panthers?" "I Don't think we can beat the Dillon Panthers." "I know damn well we can beat the Dillon Panthers." "The question is, do you think that we can beat the Dillon Panthers?" "(ALL AGREEING)" "Then show me." "LION:" "One, two, three..." "ALL:" "All the way!" "TAMl: "I want to apologize..." ""I want to apologize for all those who were hurt." ""I want to apologize for all those who were hurt" ""and for all those who were offended." ""I sincerely regret any damage this has caused the community."" "Honey, no, Don't stand there." "It's bad enough having to read this gibberish without having to do it in front of you." "You're going to get through this." "Am I?" "Mmm-hmm." "Should I?" "I'll get through it." "You want a cup of coffee?" "Thank you." "LANDRY:" "Hey." "Hey, Landry." "I have in my right hand a brand-new Crucifictorius four-track demo, rough." "Contain yourself, please." "This is huge." "I want you to listen to it and I want you to try to figure out which one of these songs is for you." ""Song for Jess"?" "Yeah, all the other names I came up with sounded corny." "So, That's just like a temporary name." "What?" "You really hate Crucifictorius?" "No, Landry, um, the other night, we..." "What?" "Um..." "I have feelings for Vince." "I'm sorry." "Oh, so the area I live in is called, like, Greektown." "So, It's just a lot of Greek people around." "Oh, I live above a coffee shop, too." "So, it always smells like coffee a lot, and when I'm going up the stairs to go to my apartment," "I get like a caffeine high." "You can't get a caffeine high from smelling coffee." "It's physically impossible." "No, It's because I Don't drink coffee, so..." "That doesn't even make any sense." "Do I want yellow or white onions?" "(SIGHS) White." "Hey, hey." "I miss you." "A lot." "You know, most people say goodbye to their girlfriends or tell them where they're going or something." "Listen, I had to get out of here." "If I tried to say goodbye to you, I never would have left." "Well, your apartment sounds real nice." "Well, do you want to see it?" "'Cause I kind of already bought you a ticket." "let's get some work done, boy." "let's do this." "Hey, Vince..." "What's up, man?" "Hey, man, I just wanted to thank you for letting me know that you thought that Jess and I were so good together and I was such a good guy and everything." "Jess told me." "It wasn't..." "It wasn't supposed to happen like that." "It's good to know that your word means a lot, Vince." "PAUL:" "She should be here." "She should be here on time, so... (ALL CHATTERING)" "Okay, let's get this started." "All right, could I have everyone's attention?" "We appreciate you coming here today for this special meeting." "And I'll tell you what, let's just get this under way." "At this time, Principal Tami Taylor would like to make a statement." "Principal Taylor." "(TAMI CLEARS THROAT)" "Good afternoon." "Listen, y'all." "I've always put the welfare of the students ahead of everything else." "Every action that I made was with that intent, and it always will be." "And that's all I have to say." "Thank y'all." "(REPORTERS CLAMORING)" "PAUL:" "Uh, all right, everyone." "We would like to move on to our next item..." "Where's the apology?" "You told me she would apologize." "That is not an apology." "I want her fired." "LUKE:" "They're offering me full scholarship." "And That's a good program." "Saint Pat's is a good program." "And they might even make it to State this year." "So It's something I got to really think about." "Why are you telling me this?" "I just want you to know I might transfer, and that I didn't want you to hear it from someone else." "Okay." "Okay." "Is that really all you're going to say, Coach?" "What would you have me say?" "Anything, something about how you'd like me to stay here and not move on to another program, I Don't know." "How about something about how you get injured and you Don't tell a damn person around here." "'Cause you know what?" "Otherwise, you might be playing Friday." "Isn't that the case?" "Yeah." "But you didn't tell a damn soul, so you sort of took it out of our hands, didn't you?" "Yes, sir, and I apologize for that." "I'm..." "Well, then, why Don't we talk about Saint Pat's when the season's over?" "Coach, you got to let me play on Friday." "You know what, I'll tell you something, Luke." "You are going to suit up, but you are not going to be playing." "You're not going to be playing." "Hey." "What's up?" "Yep." "Can I help you?" "Uh, yeah, I was..." "I was in town, so I just wanted to stop by and say hey." "Well, hey. (CHUCKLES)" "(LAUGHS) Hey." "What's going on?" "That's nice of you to think about your old friend, Landry." "Uh, yeah." "You know what else might have been nice, Matt?" "What?" "Maybe if I would have just gotten one quick phone call from my best friend?" "Or maybe if I would have just gotten a quick text." "Right, uh..." "Since you left, I've been dumped by a beautiful girl," "I've got this big game against the Panthers coming up and I'm the kicker, so That's a lot of pressure to begin with, but I have it in my head that I'm going to choke," "which, if It's in my head that I'm going to choke, that probably means that I'm going to choke." "You don't..." "And if you really want to see, you know, you could stick around for the game, but I'm sure that would be asking way too much for you to do." "he's like a girl." "Hey, I forgot to mention to you," "Buddy's coming to dinner tomorrow." "Buddy Garrity?" "Yeah." "Well, he can't come to dinner." "Angela Collette's going to be here." "he's going to try to flirt with her." "Well, he's coming." "he's going to bring a turkey." "Well, honey, why is he bringing a turkey?" "I've got a turkey." "I'm making a turkey." "Well, because he asked about the turkey." "he's going to bring his fryer with him, too." "Buddy Garrity is bringing a deep fryer to my house for Thanksgiving and cooking a turkey?" "Well..." "When I'm making dinner?" "Does that make any sense?" "It makes just as much sense Buddy being here as Angela Collette." "Well, none of it makes any sense." "I mean, we've now got the Collettes coming, we've got the Riggins coming." "Now I've got a house full of people." "Well, Buddy's lonely, he wants somewhere to have Thanksgiving." "I know." "What's one more?" "It's fine." "It's Thanksgiving." "You know, all I want to do is just crawl into a corner." "What happens at this meeting?" "I Don't know." "They are not telling me one single thing." "They didn't say anything." "No one gave you any indication..." "No." "All I know is that we're having a meeting." "I'm having a meeting with the school board and the superintendent on Saturday." "nobody's telling me anything at this point." "Could be a firing meeting." "(SIGHS)" "All right." "Honey, I know I went there intending to apologize and I just..." "I just couldn't do it." "I'm sorry." "I just couldn't do it." "Honey, you Don't have to say you're sorry." "there's no reason to say you're sorry." "BILLY:" "This whole situation is screwed." "I mean, It's screwed, you know?" "there's a part of me that just wants to get in the car and just get the hell out of Dodge, you know?" "I mean, this is penny-ante stuff." "It's not like they're going to chase us across state lines for it." "But I got a baby, I can't just like pack up and go, you know?" "And I Don't blame you, Tim, I don't." "I mean, this Isn't on you." "I mean, even though that guy at the wrecking yard kind of identified you," "It's not your fault." "I'm the one who got you into this." "Granted, I wouldn't have taken the cars there like 15 times, but It's not your fault." "(KNOCKING ON DOOR)" "Who the hell is that?" "It's for you." "Who is it?" "Stevie, did you poop?" "Becky, It's a little late, Don't you think?" "Sorry, Billy." "BILLY:" "Did you poop yourself?" "Mindy, I think we got poop here." "Hey." "Heard what happened." "Is it true?" "You're a liar, Tim." "All that stuff you said about turning your life around, about being a man." "You can't even look me in the eyes right now, Tim." "You're a coward." "And I believed it." "I believed every word of it, so good job." "My mom was right." "You're just like every other guy, and I gave you too much credit." "My mistake." "SAMMY ON RADIO:" "Folks, it is Turkey Day, and here in Dillon, we're following up Thanksgiving with a little Friday night rivalry game between East and West Dillon."

"I told you, get your arms in the air when you're doing that. let's do it." "Hey, Eric, we can drive this home tomorrow in pre-game." "You know what, Coach?" "Why Don't you have Coach Traub drive you home if you're so excited to get out of here." "Get in there." "Get after him, Tinker." "Get after him." "There you go."

"You're going to be shifting a lot, you know." "All right." "Coach." "Can I do this?" "Can you do what?" "I know how bad you want this." "I can feel it, how bad you want to beat Dillon." "I Don't think I'm the guy that can give it to you." "You got somewhere to be tonight?" "Yeah, I'm eating dinner with my mom." "You sure about that?" "Yeah, Coach." "Come on, I'll give you a ride home." "I got it." "You got it?" "I got it." "Their weak-side corner tends to ignore the backside post, you know that, Don't you?" "Yes, sir."

"Well, he's handsome and he can cook." "I think That's fantastic." "Do you think we're ever going to get to sit at the big kids' table?" "Um, probably not." "But on the plus side, we have the whole bowl of cranberries to ourselves." "Yes, that is a lot of cranberry sauce." "BUDDY:" "You drop the entire turkey down in the grease and it seals all the moisture in the turkey." "MRS. SARACEN:" "The whole thing?" "Makes it kind of succulent." "ANGELA:" "Juicy." "Yeah." "TAMl:" "Well, mine's a natural one." "You know, we went to the turkey farm..." "Anyway, It's just roasted, That's all." "Sorry, I got a..." "I'd like to make a toast." "Sorry to interrupt everyone in the middle of eating, but..." "I just..." "I wanted to say that Thanksgiving is..." "It's not all about turkeys and gravy and cranberries and all that stuff." "It's about those brief moments on this earth that we get to spend with each other." "And to really take those moments in, to feel them, because one of these days, it'll all be gone, and we'll be as dead as that fried turkey there." "(CHUCKLES)" "So, I just want to say thank you to my friends, my family, my beautiful wife, my son," "(GURGLING)" "Who seems to talk as much as I like to." "I Don't know what I'd be without y'all."

"What do you mean you can't?" "I can't kick an extra point..." "What do you mean you can't?" "You know what?" "I've spent three years turning you into a football player." "You know what you're going to do?" "You're gonna go out there and you're gonna kick that damn field goal." "Do you hear me?" "And you know what?" "It could be worse, son." "It could be 47 yards."
