Original subtitles

What's after high school, Brian?

Me and Mack Brown gonna get our win on in Pasadena.

Get my national championship on,

and my Heisman on.

Do you have anyone you're interested in?

Sorta. Sorta?

Well, forget about sorta. You know what?

Take her out. Movies, dinner.

Get her in the back seat of your car.

I don't care. Whatever.

I love you.

I love you too.

What do you want to talk about, Tim?

That fact that you're sleeping with

your paralyzed best friend's girlfriend?

The three of us together

can get through anything.

Anything at all.

*

[cheering]

Whoops.

Waste of friggin' time, huh?

Look, I know you hate me right now,

and I understand. I don't hate you, Lyla.

It'd be a lot easier if I did.

I don't know how to talk to you

when you're like this.

I mean, God, it's not even 7:00,

and you can barely stand.

You can blame me if you want, Tim.

You can blame the whole world,

for all I care.

But if you think being drunk all the time

is gonna make this any easier,

you're wrong.

It's not cool or charming.

It's just pathetic and gross.

And I feel sorry for you.

I really do.

Lyla.

(Mayor Rodell) Didn't this 2000 championship team

have a...star quarterback?

[cheering]

Do y'all remember?

Hmm?

I said, do you remember?

[cheering]

[marching band drumming]

[taped announcer over P.A.] Six seconds to go,

the Panthers lining up for a field goal.

Mize takes the snap, he fields it clean.

Wait a second, it's a fake!

Alpert's open. He's got Alpert!

Mize rolling right, throws. He caught it!

Robbie Alpert caught the dadgum ball!

Panthers win State! Panthers win State!

[cheering]

(Mayor Rodell) Ladies and gentlemen, All-Region, All-District,

All-State--

Lucas "The Maneater" Mize.

[cheering]

[crowd chanting] Lucas Mize! Lucas Mize!

Lucas Mize!

Lucas Mize!

You know, that's gonna be you one day, Brian.

Maybe so, little sis.

Maybe so.

[country rock music playing]

*

Hey, I'm Lucas Mize. Brian.

But everybody around here calls me Smash.

Smash. Smash, huh?

Did you come up with that one on your own?

Yeah, well, Maneater was taken.

Oh, yeah.

Who was that, anyway? The Carpenters or something?

Who was that?

This guy used to drive 22 miles from Macedonia

every day of my sophomore year,

just to work me out in private.

I needed the money.

(Tami) So, how are you?

How's your family? What's been going on?

I'm selling insurance.

I have an insurance agency in Dallas.

In Dallas? I've got a sister in Plano.

You got a card? I'll give it to her.

I did, but there's so many people here.

I've been giving them out. Like this guy.

This guy here is one of the best running backs

in the state of Texas, when he's listening.

Which is very rare. Come on, Coach.

But when he's listening, he's a hell of a running back.

Is that right?

Well, you must be feeling the pressure, then.

All the alums back, big homecoming game.

Oh, I--

Grady Hunt in the house.

Who?

You haven't met him yet?

Come on, Coach.

You gotta take care of your boy here.

Come with me, kid.

Take care, Lucas. Nice to see you, Lucas.

Good to see you, Mrs. Taylor. Okay.

Mr. Hunt's been scouting high school ball

since before we were born.

He knows all the recruiters.

You make his top 100 list, you're good to go.

He's the man.

Lucas. How are you, man?

Doing good. Good to see you.

Good to see you.

I can bench press 270,

dead lift 450, and run a 4.3, with pads.

Plus, my vert's 37 inches, on a bad day.

Last year I got the school record in points scored,

TD catches, and total offense.

And the thing about it is, I'm just a junior.

I ain't even started yet.

I'm a little worried about his confidence.

Yeah.

Look, no disrespect, sir.

I just want to say flat out,

if you got a list, I don't just want to be on it.

I want to be number one.

Well, I hope you can play as good as you talk.

Now's your time, son.

Show me what you got.

Thank you.

[heartfelt instrumental music]

*

Man, who knew she didn't like sushi?

Everybody likes sushi, man.

Hey, where are you right now, man?

I'm confiding in you, bro.

Sorry, sorry. Sorry.

What, just 'cause I have stumps,

do I not bleed?

Dude.

All right, so you took her to Chinese, and--

Dude, I took her to sushi.

Sorry, man, I just got... a lot going on.

Hey, guys.

Hey, Coach.

How you doing, bud? What's up?

This is Corey.

Hey. Nice to meet you.

I got potato chips all over my arm.

That's all right.

I'm sorry, I don't mean to be rude,

Can I get a second with him? Sure.

I'll talk to you later. Very nice to meet you.

Keep that thought, all right? I'll listen later.

I promise. Sure.

Thank you.

How you doing?

I'm doing good. Yeah?

Aren't you supposed to be at a party right now?

No, I was--

Pudnick tossed up his nachos during the line dance.

It was a pretty messy situation.

Did they shut the party down because of it?

No, but they should have.

Hey, listen...

I'm kind of like a designated ambassador

from school right now.

And what I'm asking you is, uh,

how would you like to come out to the game Friday night?

It's Homecoming.

Uh...I don't know, Coach.

Hey, look, if it's too soon, or, you know,

you're not comfortable with it,

I understand.

They really want me there?

Hell, son, we all want you there.

Do me a favor, would you?

Just think about it.

(Billy) Let me tell you, they made money.

I mean, big money.

They had kegs, they had girls.

And those college kids were paying $20 a pop,

just to get inside the door.

It was out of control.

Now, where was this?

Abilene. City of opportunity.

And I'm telling you, it could work here, T.

My buddy made a killing throwing these parties.

What up, baby sis?

Seriously, Billy, you still on that?

You're a lot of things,

but party planner, not one of 'em.

Your sister here is a small thinker.

Big in other areas, but small.

It's a dumb idea, asshat.

In case you haven't noticed,

this isn't exactly a college town.

But we do have a high school.

It's Homecoming, everybody's gonna be at the dance.

You can't fight tradition, sweetheart.

Not here.

Then we'll start a new one.

Exactly. The anti-Homecoming.

Uh-huh.

Mm-hmm.

You gotta go.

You're too young to be in here, anyway.

Whatever.

Hey, clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose.

Damn.

Hey, man.

Just saw your girlfriend.

She is one tall drink of water.

Can't imagine how you screwed that one up.

Here.

I'm good.

Dude, nightcap. SportsCenter.

I quit.

You quit? [scoffs]

Since when?

Since now.

[laughing]

Sure you did.

(Lyla) We were worried you might get in trouble

for being out all night.

What are they gonna do, throw me in rehab jail?

[chuckles]

So, do you and Timmy see a lot of each other now?

What do you mean?

I don't know, like, in school,

or in practice, or around?

No, not really.

Pretty much the same amount.

I'm so proud of you, sweetie.

Phil says you're doing better

than any patient he's ever had.

[Jason chuckles] Phil told me yesterday to put wax in my hair,

so I wouldn't listen too much

what he says.

Does your neck hurt like this?

Like I'd tell you if it did?

Probably not.

(Saracen) Just stop talking about Julie already.

(Landry) You know what? That's just what I do.

You know, I pry, I prod, I wheedle.

You know, even when I get a little crazy sometimes,

I cajole.

Yeah, but mostly you annoy.

Well, it's as easy as this.

If you want it to stop,

you ask Julie out on a date.

What--I'm really starting to worry about you.

'Cause you've obviously got the mojo.

But you just don't really know how to use it.

You know what I'm talking about?

I really have no idea what you're talking about.

What you need is to get the eye of the tiger.

You know what I'm talking about.

Boom, baby!

[grunting and growling]

(assistant coach) That's it.

[whistle blows]

Way to work, Riggins!

One, nine!

Left tuck!

Hut!

[hip-hop music]

*

Way to work it, Smash! Go!

Way to go, Smash!

[whistle blows]

[applause]

Hey, look, y'all keep trying,

but you ain't gonna catch me.

You're wrong, Williams.

Hey, don't hate, accelerate.

[whistle blows]

Bring it in on the half.

Come on.

(Taylor) All right, listen up now.

The option's just part of what you're gonna see Friday night.

They're gonna have a man in motion every play,

multiple sets.

They're gonna come in here,

they're gonna try to run and shoot.

Let 'em try. We'll be ready for 'em.

I don't expect y'all to contain this offense.

I expect you to shut the damn thing down, understood?

(players) Yes, sir.

All right, let's do it! Break it down.

Coach, wait. Hold up.

Yo, Hall & Oates...

Let's see if you got any magic left.

[cheers and catcalls]

(Lucas) Hut!

[cheers and applause]

Yeah.

Hut!

[cheering]

[cheers and applause]

All right, Mr. Smash.

Homie, go deep.

Hey, man, you can't throw it that far

without your theme music.

[chuckles]

Hut! Hut!

[cheering]

Nice hands.

Soft as a Tijuana hooker.

(Tyra) All right, I'll call you later. Bye.

So, what do you think?

[scoffs]

Are you kidding? There's nothing out here.

Exactly.

So nobody can get in any trouble.

Yeah, because nobody's gonna come.

Maybe your sister was right.

Okay, you need to relax, Mr. Negative.

That was her on the phone.

She and her friends are gonna be here all night.

Paying 'em 50 bucks a head, plus tips.

Whoa, whoa, whoa.

Wait a minute. What are you talking about?

Hey, every good party needs a hostess, Billy,

and we've got ten of 'em.

Ten strippers, actually.

[disbelieving laugh]

I think they prefer the term "exotic dancer."

I don't know, what do you guys think?

Well, I--

I think it's great the school wants to recognize you.

You know, and the town too.

You deserve this, Jason.

Honestly, I think it's too soon.

Wait a second, now. Hold on.

We discussed this.

No, Mitchell, you discussed it.

(Joanne) It's barely been two months since the accident.

The sooner he can get back to a normal routine, the better.

You think this is normal?

Trotting him out in front of 15,000 people?

Mom, let me think about it, all right?

Let's not do this here.

Okay.

[Riggins grunting] Steady!

Get it.

[Riggins grunting]

Riggins, you're gonna give yourself a coronary.

(McGill) Williams!

Smash.

Smash, come here.

Grady Hunt left a message.

Wants you to call him.

(guy) Uh-oh.

[cheers and catcalls]

Tell him about me.

Pucker up, Williams.

That's right, baby,

show me some love, shoe me some love, baby!

[laughter]

Hey, look, this boy's going to Austin.

And don't worry, baby, I'ma bring you back a T-shirt.

Longhorns.

(Taylor) How'd you end up in Dallas?

You know, I just sorta did.

Mm-hmm.

As good a place as any.

How big's the agency up there?

Can I tell you something?

Sure.

Keep it between us? Uh-huh.

I don't have an agency.

I've just been telling people that

because I had to tell 'em something.

Sophomore year I blew out my knee,

which sucked.

But I wasn't playing that much as it was anyway.

Met a girl.

Pretty much lost focus on football.

Lost my scholarship, pretty much dropped out.

Never even graduated.

I'm sorry to hear that. I didn't know.

Coach, listen.

Let me ask you something.

What's that?

Could you hire me?

I'm kinda putting you on the spot.

I don't--I don't mean to do that.

I just--

[clears throat]

I could log tapes, I can scout.

Carry the damn water bottles.

I understand. I can look into it.

I can't make any promises to you, obviously, but I can...

You know, I can look into it. Certainly.

That's something. I appreciate that.

Hey, babe.

Hey.

Did I wake you up?

No.

Did you sleep at all?

Yeah, I got a little bit.

How was your dinner with Lucas?

Mmm...

He asked for a job.

He's got a job.

He sells insurance in Dallas.

No, he doesn't have a job

selling insurance in Dallas.

He never graduated college,

and he's got a four-year-old son

that he hardly ever sees,

or he's never seen before, I'm not sure which.

That is the most depressing thing

I've ever heard.

I'm not the kid's father.

I don't know why he's coming to me.

Listen, that is for sure.

This is not your-- I tutored him once, for one season,

six years ago.

You know what the problem is, it's this town, baby.

This town makes these teenage kids

into idols. He's a good kid.

And then they get out of here,

and everybody's not just giving 'em something all the time.

They don't know what to do with themselves.

They fall flat on their faces.

It's a shame.

What are you gonna do?

He was the head trainer for Villanova.

You've seriously never heard about this?

No.

See, you gotta remember,

I wasn't even born 1985, old man.

Well, the poor bastard had Lou Gehrig's disease,

and he was in a chair.

And the whole season, before games,

they rolled him out on the court.

Then the team would come out

and rub his head for good luck.

[scoffs]

It was sick, bro.

What's wrong with it? Sounds fine to me.

Well, that's 'cause you're an idiot.

Why would you want to let them make you into

some pathetic mascot, huh?

It's not a mascot, man.

I'd be honored. [cell phone rings]

[thud] Get that for me?

Yes, sir.

If you can move fast enough.

You should see me. They call me greased lightning.

Oh-ho, lovely Lyla.

You can leave that. That's fine.

[chuckles] Oh, okay.

What? I'm kinda busy.

Strapped into a machine right now.

Don't wanna talk.

Something's up. I can smell it.

Yeah, well, that's none of your business.

Oh, come on, what'd you do?

Miss an anniversary?

Forgot to thank her for those Rice Krispie balls, didn't you?

No, I didn't do anything.

Ah, so Little Miss Perfect's the one

that's in the doghouse.

Interesting. Oh.

I'm all ears, QB. The doctor is in.

Come on.

I, uh--

I kinda--

Kinda think she might be sleeping with my best friend.

Oh! Oh, wow.

But seriously, I'm probably just paranoid.

I mean, I've been locked up--

I'm changing my mind.

You gotta go to that game now.

You go look that son of a bitch in the eye,

and you see what is up.

[Herc chuckling]

(Tyra) I don't know, golf bores me.

Yeah?

Well, I was pretty damn good.

I had three top tens on the Hooters qualifying tour.

And if it hadn't been for September 11th,

I probably would have gotten my card.

So, what, it's the terrorists' fault?

No, I'm not blaming the terrorists.

They cancelled the Texas swing that year.

Right when I was on a roll.

And then it's Christmastime. My dad leaves us.

And all of a sudden, I got Tim living with me.

It was, like,

I don't know. Adios, golf career.

Hello, taking care of your little brother.

What about your mom?

Well, she was a mess.

She spent most of her time sitting out on the back porch,

sucking down bourbon and Cokes,

chain-smoking menthol lights.

She was always screaming about something.

You know, in three years,

she never once saw me play football?

Sorry.

I don't usually whine.

No, it's just--

It's just funny.

I learned more about the Riggins family

in two minutes than I did in a whole year of dating Tim.

He doesn't talk much.

No, ma'am.

You're right about that.

UT, Texas Tech,

LSU, USC.

Ohio State,

I seem to be doing okay.

Well, I'm sorry to tell you, but any kid

that can run 20 yards without falling down

gets one of those his junior year.

You need to get serious about this, son.

Treat it like a job.

Oh, no, I got a plan.

I'm gonna get a scholarship,

I'm gonna go to college,

and when I turn pro, buy my mama

the biggest house in Carr County.

Sheila gets the Escalade,

and little sis gets a pony.

Yeah, that's right, Brian.

[laughter]

As far as the physical skills go,

don't I got what it takes?

From what I saw today, it looks pretty good.

It's hard to say yet on strength and size,

but if you'd be willing--

Oh, don't even worry about that.

People have been saying I'm too small since J.V.

Ask my mama. She'll tell you.

But I've been starting ever since.

It's not the size, it's the heart.

Well, I reckon that's what this game's for.

I'll be watching it.

And you'll see...

Smashball, baby.

[laughter]

Is there nowhere we can go

to get away from Homecoming?

I mean, so what?

You've graduated, now you're fat and old.

(Landry) There she is, right there.

I really wish you'd just work with me, Romeo.

I mean, come on.

Just go forth,

and multiply.

[rock-rap music]

*

(Tyra) So, what do you think?

I don't know, it just seems a little fancy.

Shut up. That's the whole point.

To make it seem all mysterious.

I like 'em, okay?

What kind of party are you trying to throw here?

It's gonna be a good one.

[both laughing]

Hey, look who it is.

What's going on there, Rocky?

Look, it's the new and improved Tim Riggins.

Clean and sober for what?

About 24 hours now, huh?

What are you doing here, Tyra?

Nothing. Sitting.

Nan called from the office.

Said she hopes you're feeling better.

I took a sick day, Tim.

It's not a big deal.

Look, all we're doing is planning a party, Tim.

Not that it's any of your business.

We broke up, remember?

I remember.

Show him the flyer.

Since when you quit drinking?

You know what?

Keep your flyer. You guys have fun.

I think you should come.

[Jason on phone] I don't know.

I still don't know if I'm ready

to face everybody yet.

You know, it's embarrassing,

being the center of attention and all.

Like you're not used to that?

Well, for football, maybe.

But not for being hurt.

I mean, come on, it's like,

"Hey, everybody, come check out the freak show.

Don't feed the animals."

It's not like that.

People just want to see you, you know?

I want to see you.

Is that right?

Mm-hmm.

So what are you wearing?

[Lyla giggles]

Stop it.

Come on, Kermit or Miss Piggy?

Oh, my God!

That's eighth grade, you dork.

[laughter]

I don't know, it's--

Sometimes I wake up on Fridays,

and I--I go to grab my letter jacket, you know?

I'm sure it'll make my dad happy

if I go.

He's only called up a zillion times tonight,

trying to convince me.

And, uh...I guess...

you want me to go too?

I just told you I did.

Why wouldn't I?

All right.

All right, I'll go.

Okay.

Good.

Yeah. It'll be fine.

One or two tight ends during the game today?

Let's go two. We gotta go two tights on them.

Hey. You wanted to see me?

Yeah.

Hey, guys, give me a second, would you?

Hey, how you doing, Luke? Good.

How's everything going?

Good. How are you doing?

I'm doing fine.

A little stressful around here.

Oh...

Hey, listen...

I can't hire you. I'm sorry.

The budget's tight,

and, you know, there's just no room

for another assistant right now.

That's just the way it is.

Did you even ask?

Yeah, I sure did ask.

You know, it's a process.

You know, a process is what it is.

We're three games into the season right now.

We can't afford another assistant.

That's the fact of the matter right there.

You know, you go around to another school.

You ask around, something comes up,

I'm more than happy to help out.

Coach, listen, I need this now.

I understand that.

If it was the beginning of the season,

it'd be a different story, but it's not.

That's just the situation.

I'll keep my ears open for you.

I'll do what I can for you.

Yeah, don't hold your breath.

Hey, I'm sorry I couldn't do more for you.

Good God, Tyra.

We've gotta have an open bar.

Yeah, but don't you think it's a little much?

We already ordered 16 kegs.

Actually, it was 22.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. What?

The worst thing that could happen is that

we run out of booze in the middle of the party.

We're not gonna have time to come running back here.

Yeah, I know, but--

So get with the program.

If we want this thing to be a hit,

we gotta think big, okay?

Just trust me on this.

Hey.

Whatcha doing?

We got a game, Coach.

I know, in about four hours.

Yeah, I'm just trying to get my mind right, you know.

Do my thing.

All right.

Hey, Coach?

Hmm?

What you know about this Grady Hunt guy?

Grady Hunt? Grady Hunt?

I know Grady Hunt has a list of people

like you on it to look at.

Why?

Everybody says he has the power to make or break you.

He ain't no Jesus or nothin', but...

he's coming.

It's just a lot, that's all.

Let me tell you something. You're a prospect.

There's gonna be a lot of Grady Hunts

coming in and out of here the next few years,

looking at you.

You think so? I know so.

And I'll tell you something else.

Grady Hunt is not gonna make or break number 20.

You are.

You go out there tonight, you focus on this game.

You focus on this game alone.

You'll be fine. You understand me?

Yes, sir.

You're right.

We're all good?

Oh, yeah. All right.

All ready. All right.

[deep breath]

All right, move these over there, boys.

Just set 'em-- Unh!

Don't hurt yourself.

We got lots more to go. All right?

Yeah...

[Sammy Meade on radio] It is Homecoming, Panther fans,

and have we got a good one for you here tonight.

(announcer #2) Sammy, you can just feel the electricity

here in the football stadium.

(Sammy) And Laribee has taken the field,

and this crowd is rockin'

as we wait for the Panthers.

[cheering]

[stadium announcer over P.A.] And here are...

your Dillon Panthers!

[cheering]

[heartfelt instrumental music]

*

(stadium announcer) Ladies and gentlemen,

please welcome tonight's honorary Dillon captain,

number 6, Jason Street!

[crowd cheering wildly]

[crowd chanting] Jason! Jason!

(players) Let's go! Let's go, baby!

[cheering]

(team) Clear eyes, full hearts, can't lose!

Clear eyes, full hearts,

can't lose!

(Sammy) Welcome back to tonight's district match-up.

Dillon trying to get past that forfeit to Arnett Mead

because of Ray "Voodoo" Tatom.

And the Panthers need a win

to keep their playoff hopes alive.

And it's gonna be a very emotional night

with the return of Jason Street

to Herrmann Field.

And word is out Grady Hunt is in the house

to see Smash Williams do his thing.

All right, let's go, lock and load, let's play ball!

(Sammy) Keller opens left, reverses field.

It's an option, he pitches. No, he keeps it!

This kid has got some wheels.

Oh, and a big gain for the Laribee quarterback.

He's got room. He's hit hard at the line.

Oh, and he's in for a touchdown.

(announcer #2) Just like that, Coach Taylor's gonna find himself

down seven points.

[cheering]

Come on, show us some of that speed, Smash.

(Saracen) I-right, Y flip-28 zone.

On one. Ready, break.

(Sammy) Okay, Panther fans,

let's see what Smash has brought.

Saracen takes the snap, hands the ball off

to Williams on the right side.

He turns the corner--

Oh, and he gets pasted.

Saracen's got Williams open on the left flank--

Oh, and he just plumb drops the ball.

I'll tell you what, he had nothing but blue skies

and open fields between him and the end zone.

Riggins gets the ball, and he powers up the middle

for six yards.

Late in the second quarter, Panthers

with a fourth and one on their own 45.

Saracen hands the ball off to Dolia.

Wait, it's a reverse to Smash Williams!

Smash Williams just can't seem to get on track tonight.

(announcer #2) This Panther team has been shut out in the first half.

Coach Taylor needs to circle the wagons

and find some answers fast,

'cause this is gonna turn into a massacre.

(assistant coach) You guys gotta wait

on making those reads!

[coaches shouting]

(Taylor) Let's go, right now.

We're losing out there. What the hell's going on?!

Coach, look, they're not holding their blocks.

I can't get around 'em.

You are running into your own protection.

The holes are open.

Why are you running into your own protection?

Why aren't you being patient? Read the blocks, hit the gaps.

Read the blocks, hit the gaps.

Yes, sir.

The problem is--

I'll tell you what the problem is, Smash.

The problem is the guy out there with the damn clipboard.

That's the problem.

That's the problem.

You don't play for UT.

You play Dillon Panther high school football.

And you play for me. So forget the damn list!

I'm gonna make it up to you.

Yes, you are!

'Cause if you don't, I'm gonna make

some changes out there.

I promise you that!

(Sammy) Starting the second half here,

and these Panther fans without a whole lot to celebrate

on Homecoming so far.

Down ten points, we're gonna see how many touches

Smash Williams'll get.

[whistle blows]

He takes the snap.

Oh, Williams gets hit hard again.

And the ball's loose! Fumble!

Oh, and Laribee's picking it up.

What are you doing?

(Sammy) They are not gonna catch him, and that is a touchdown

for the Laribee Lions.

And just like that, folks,

the Panthers are down

here in the third quarter, 17 to nothing.

(announcer #2) I don't know what's wrong.

This team is just struggling tonight.

They continue to be out of synch--Oh!

And Smash Williams has just thrown his helmet

to the ground in frustration.

[crowd booing]

That's it, we're going with Riggins.

I-right, 42 swing pass, on one.

Ready, break!

(Sammy) And Coach Taylor has Tim Riggins

lined up as the lone tailback.

And the ball is given to Riggins.

And he picks up a quick ten yards.

Riggins again up the middle.

And he bulldozes his way in, and it's a touchdown!

[cheering]

And with Riggins as the new go-to workhorse tonight,

Dillon can't be stopped.

Get 'em!

I'm on you. Let's go!

(Sammy) Handoff to Riggins.

Touchdown! Touchdown, Dillon Panthers!

[cheering]

And Taylor may have finally found his answer

in the power running of big Tim Riggins.

Go, come on!

(Sammy) Riggins picks up a good block.

That is a touchdown!

Touchdown, Dillon Panthers.

[cheering]

Way to play, Riggins.

[melancholy music]

[players cheering]

All right, listen up!

Listen, now.

Y'all ought to be real proud of yourselves.

That was a hell of an effort tonight.

It was a hell of a game.

I don't know how in the hell he did it,

or where he came from to do it, or what have you,

but I know who this game ball goes to.

[cheering]

Thank you.

[cheering quiets]

That was one hell of a game.

Thanks. All of y'all.

That was one hell of a game!

[cheering]

Speech, come on! Panther pride!

Speech!

Well...

I, uh...

I'm not very good at this kind of stuff, so...

Coach is always talking about, uh...

one team and one heart.

To be honest with you, I thought it was--

I thought it was stupid.

Fact is, he's right.

He's right.

Everybody in this room knows who...

where we get our heart from.

He's sitting right there.

This ball belongs to you.

[quietly] Please, take it.

(Riggins) I love you like a brother.

Like a brother, Six.

What are y'all staring at?

Y'all played a hell of a game. Go party!

[cheering]

Well, don't you say one word to your brother.

Not one word. Just wait here.

Baby, it's okay. It's just one game.

I blew it. I blew it.

I had my one chance, and I blew it.

I didn't even touch the ball the second half of the game.

Everybody knows that I'm this family's meal ticket.

Now, that's crazy talk.

You know better than that.

You know it. I know it.

And this whole damn world knows it.

Look, I'm sorry.

I just-- I need to be alone.

Brian. Brian!

[loud dance music playing]

Little brother, what is up, man?

Hell of a game tonight, man!

Thank you.

Why don't you come back in about four years?

I'll give you one on the house.

Think maybe I can get that in writing?

You're cute.

I'm cute?

[knocking on door]

I gotta be up early, son.

I'm sorry, sir. I don't mean to bother you.

But I was just wondering if there's any chance

I'm gonna make that list.

You had a rough time out there tonight.

Yes, sir, I did.

But I didn't get my touches, and--

They don't want to hear excuses.

No, sir.

To be honest, I'm worried about your strength and size.

So what you should work on is lifting and conditioning.

Yes, sir.

I appreciate that.

I'm gonna keep on pushing,

but I was just wondering if I'm gonna make that list.

Comes out in January.

Thank you.

[dance music]

*

It's gonna be 20 bucks a pop.

Man, these people are wearing my ass down.

It's all the Red Bull and vodka.

They're either gonna pass out,

or run the marathon.

Come on.

Hey.

Hey, what's goin' on?

Not much. Is this the safe zone?

Yeah, I know. These people are crazy.

So, it must feel pretty good,

winning the big homecoming game and all.

Would you go on a date with me?

Um...

Maybe, or not. I mean--

I just thought I'd throw that out there.

But it's prob-- It's probably a bad idea.

[lighthearted country music]

*

[chuckles]

So, how'd we do?

60, 70, 80.

$4,680.

Which comes out to...

A whole lot of damn money for throwing a stupid party.

Yeah.

This is unbelievable.

So let me ask you a question.

How do I know you didn't pocket a little bit of extra cash

when you were lettin' people in through the door?

The same way I know you're gonna share those tips

you made at the bar with me.

Trust.

Wow.

Nice.

[laughter]

[knock on door]

(Corrina) Come on, baby, you got game film.

I'm coming.

[breathing heavily]
