Matt: I'm just trying to worry about beating Arnett Mead on Friday. That's all I wanna be thinking about, okay? And, and that's hard. I don't know if you're aware, but we never beat Arnett Mead. I mean, not even Jason Street ever beat Arnett Mead ever, okay? So, I'm trying to worry about that, meantime I got some freshman named Joe Doyle breathing down my neck and it's - look, if I hear anyone talk about this 70 yard pass he threw like ever again I'm gonna lose it because I don't even care. It was in practice, it wasn't defenders, it was no- I can throw a ball 70 yards if no one's like, running at me. It's harder to do - Sorry, you don't care about this.
Julie: No, I do care.
Matt: No, you shouldn't. I'm just, I'm just ranting. I apologize.
Julie: You're really adorable when you rant.

Matt: Yes, sir.

I know what I've got with Matt Saracen.
Tami: That's a hard decision, babe.
Coach Taylor: After everything that kid's been through, I bench him half way through his senior year? It'll kill him.

Coach Taylor: Hey! What the hell are you doing?
Matt: I did whatever you asked me to. I helped you win a state championship, I got you to three one this season, I worked my ass off in practice. I do everything that you say! If it's 'cause J.D. is better than me, tell me that!
Coach Taylor: My job is to field a team out there that wins games. Right now, that means J.D: McCoy. Yes.
Matt: Okay. Then I quit.
Coach Taylor: You're not quitting this team.
Matt: Yes, I am.
Coach Taylor: No, you're not quitting this team and I'm not gonna let you quit. I know you. You quit this team you're gonna hate yourself. You wanna be pissed? Fine, you go ahead, you be pissed. I don't give a damn. But you are not quitting this team.
Matt: Fine. Fine, I'll sit on your bench. I'll come to practice and I'll do whatever you tell me to do. But I'm gonna hate it. And you're gonna hate it. Good talk, coach.

A lot of these football heroes around here, they're not gonna get much farther than this. But you're gonna go to some great college and have a career that you love. And I'm telling you right now, women are gonna flock to you. I know it's hard to believe, but that's how it's gonna work. You're a good person and this is just the beginning.
