Friday Night Lights Quotes

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.
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.
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.

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.

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.
Lyla: He would dump me and go after Tyra.
Jason: No, he wouldn’t.
Lyla: Yeah, he would, he told me.
Jason: But if it were you that he loved. If it were you…Lyla I love you more then life itself and I have loved you like that since the first moment I laid eyes on you. Lyla Garrity…will you marry me? Baby?

Coach Mac: Smash for quarterback?
Female Reporter: Yeah.
Coach Mac: I believe Smash is better suited for the position he’s in.
Female Reporter: How do you mean?
Coach Mac: Well, guys like Smash and Baxter and even Voodoo they got a natural gift for running the ball
Female Reporter: All three are Black, are you saying this gift has something to do with their skin color?
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.
Female Reporter: So let me get this straight, Whites like Saracen make better quarterbacks because they are inherently smarter.

Coach Taylor: About Smash Williams he said the black players have a gift for running the ball. That they're fearless.
Tami: Right. Fearless, they've got a gift. Wasn't there something else in that little phrase?
Coach Taylor: He said the thing about the junkyard dog thing, as far as the players like Matt Saracen.
Tami: You mean the white players?
Coach Taylor: Yes, the white players. He said they don't have the physicality. But he said they have more creative thinking which makes them more suited to lead. That's what he said. It was a stupid thing to say. I understand.
Tami: Well, I mean, as the guidance counselor I gotta say that that, to me, is a fireable offense. What he said.
Coach Taylor: Alright let me talk to my wife. Let me talk to the person who cares about me and cares about the team, and also has to understand the relevance and
