Friday Night Lights

Son, you all right? -

- Oh, god! Contraction! - You're seven months pregnant.

You're not contracting. Please go to the hospital.

You're going to need to go on bed rest

Until the baby's full-term.

I don't exactly have insurance right now.

I'll figure out something.

I got a business opportunity

That really could make you a rich man.

- Nice. - Yeah.

I thought he was the one.

I know, sweetie.

I'm sorry, babe. - Do your thg, skeeter.

That's pretty great.

Texas forever.

I think either one of them would be nice, hon.

This one still has a tag on it. Might as well wear that one.

It's brand-new.

Honey, you know you've got to put your toiletries

Into the plastic travel bag. These are ugly.

I'm not bringing those. - Don't take those.

Have you seen my bright blue shirt?

Gracie doesn't have any pants.

It's in with the dry cleaning. Let me get it.

But now get that stuff together. We've got to go.

Do you know where gracie's pants are?

We've got less than a half an hour.

Do you know where fracie's pants are?

Hi, sweet angel.

They're in the bottom drawer.

You're gonna help your daddy find your pants.

The bottom drawer, sweetie.

You realize none of my outfits are gonna work

Unless I have that shirt.

I'm getting it right now.

They're not in the bottom drawer.

Well, if not, then check in the dryer.

Come on. Bring your spaceman.

I know. We got to get your pants on.

Mom, every outfit you packed

I look like a realtor in.

All right now. Hey, y'all need to pack up...

Honey, you're gonna look amazing and beautiful

For your interviews. - And let's get going.

You give 'em hell up there,

You understand me? - See. You found the pants.

That's great. - All right?

All right, time to go. You were five minutes late

Five minutes ago. - Bye, dad.

- Good -bye.

You're gonna be great for your daddy.

Oh, shoot, I got to grab my briefcase.

Andnot that anybody cares we have

The league's two last-place teams facing off

This Friday-- the east dillon lions

Versus the campo park timberwolves.

Folks, I don't mean to be crude,

But I understand that this game

Has unofficially been called

The toilet bowl.

If you're coach taylor,

You got to see this game

As a singular opportunity

To get a "w" on the books this season.

Hey, ma, do I have a follo w-up with the doctor?

He said he didn't need to see you again

Unless it's still hurting in a couple of weeks.

It's doing good, right?

I mean, you've been going to practice and everything.

Yeah. No, I'm good.

I've been driving by this property and...

yeah.

Wow.

It doesn't have a price on there,

And I was just... - Yeah. A steal.

$85,000.

$75,000 if you could pay half the purchasing price up front.

Might that be an option?

Um...

Hey, yeah, I know that we hang out all the time--

Exactly. So why we got to call it a date?

Because there's a very distinct difference

In just hanging out and an actual date.

I would be wearing a nice button-up shirt.

And you would probably be wearing, like, a nice skirt

Or something like that. - Yeah.

And it would be nighttime.

When you say a nice shirt, though,

You don't mean the one with the periodic table.

I have other really nice shirts.

I have a bunch of really nice shirts.

Yeah, um, I have Wednesday night off.

- Perfect. - So Wednesday night?

Wednes--I love wednesdays.

Yeah. - Okay.

- Great. - All right.

- Good night. - Cool.

Okay.

Full-pad Monday. Everyone ought to be happy.

You know what, it doesn't matter

Whether you win or lose,

It's how you plaz the gam e- who's heard that before?

Well, that doesn't apply to this team anymore.

Listen to me.

Individually, we ought to be damn proud

Of where we come from

And where we are right now.

Collectively, I think we've got

A hell of a football team here.

But we're not scrappers anymore.

We're lions.

And this is our time.

This is your time.

We got a week for this game coming up.

I want you to know I'm proud

To take the field with you.

Let's practice.

Let's go!

What's going on?

* *

* *

So we have a fabulous contradiction here.

Chaucer is the founder

Of modern english poetry,

But he also uses words

Like "ass" and "fart."

So what does chaucer's very deliberate use

Of language tell us?

Anyone?

Someone. Come on, really.

Yes, ma'am?

Do you want to answer?

Oh, no, I'm just observing.

Oh, no, that's okay.

It seems you have a thought.

Please, share.

Oh, well, would it have to do with the context?

You know, who's speaking?

Exactly.

- context. Who's speaking.

Think about the knight's tale.

- Mm -hmm.

A story of romantic love...

To the middle!

Whoo!

Let's see you throw it like that

Without tipping off the safety with your shoulders.

All right, looking good.

Looking good!

Yeah!

- Let's blitz. - Here we go.

Hit to hurt, gentlemen. Let's go.

Down the field. That's it, that's it.

Fours, come here.

You all right?

- Yeah. - You sure?

- Mm-hmm. - All right, let's go.

Grab the ball, luke. Here we go.

Whoo!

Look what the cat drug in.

Ain't got any need for a toilet, do you?

No, I don't.

I've never heard such malarkey in my life. Hey, eric.

- Good to see you. - You too.

joe, keep the elbow up.

Toilet bowl, god help us.

I just want to tell you that I...

I used to be something

For the dillon panthers.

And I want to be that way here.

I can help you.

I'm gonna do that.

I just want to let you know that.

All right.

keep your hands--

No, no, put it back.

darius!

darius! Caleb!

Let go!

What's up? Look, look, look, look.

We're gonna run a pos t-route with the sunflower seeds.

Go, go, go. - Look at this.

Are you seriously teaching them to throw food in a--

Oh, you can't teach that. That was a great job.

What's wrong with you?

- That's talent. - Hey.

Look at all you boys.

I haven't seen you in such a long time.

You've grown.

Darius, did anybody tell you you look

More and more like your daddy?

Yes, ma'am.

I bet they do.

You know, I tell you what,

I'm cooking dinner next week,

And I want you to be there.

- Me? - Yup.

Oh, no, I wouldn't want

To impose on...

No, no, no, you're not imposing.
