Jason: What single characteristic as a football player do you think defines Tim Riggins?
Coach Taylor: Toughness. I have never seen a kid with more fortitude than Tim Riggins. No fear.

Jason: What's been your favorite memory of your brother playing football?
Billy: Probably watching him get that ring back in '06. Yeah, after all we've been through together, um, to see him win state, that was, that was probably the happiest day of my life. I was just really proud of him.

Jason: When success is essential to keeping a family together there is nothing a man won't do. Nothing.

Jason: You can have it all, but you can't have it all at once, so you take your memories where you can get'em. Right, Riggs?
Tim: Absolutely. Here's to many more memories. Happy birthday, Six.

Jason: You're beautiful, you're smart and you're talented and you've got your whole future ahead of you.
Lyla: Oh my God, are you breaking up with me?
Jason: My choices are much more limited then yours.
Lyla: Please don't tell me you're breaking up--
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?
[Jason and Lyla kiss]

Jason: You're funny when your drunk.
Lyla: It's not funny Jason when you drive all the way from Dillon, and you find your boyfriend with people that scare you, and getting tattoos from sexy girls.
[Jason laughs]
Lyla: It's not funny. It's not funny, Jason. It's not funny. You're changing, and it is so real. And I'm not changing with you. We're never gonna last because I'm not changing with you.
Jason: Oh, I'm sorry... Lyla.
Lyla: [crying] I don't know...
Jason: Look, I'm sorry...
Lyla: It's okay. No, it's okay. It's okay. It's okay, because you know what? It's bigger than us--
Jason: Nothing is bigger than us Lyla! Nothing is bigger than us. Nothing is bigger than the love I have for you in my heart. Nothing is bigger than that. And I'm not holding on to you anymore because you're all I have left, I'm holding on you because I love you and I need you in my life. And I'm not giving you up with out a fight. And I'm not letting you go. I love you.

Jess: Coach I was wondering if you'd write me a recommendation for this thing at Baylor.
Coach Taylor: At Baylor? Ah, sure, write something up and leave it on my desk.
Jess: But Coach, I can't recommend myself.
Coach Taylor: Sure you can.
Jess: Are you sure that's legal?
Coach Taylor: Sure, sure.

Jess: I'm moving to Dallas after this semester so I won't be joining your super team after all. Being a part of the Lions has been the greatest experience of my life.
Coach Taylor: I think it's been mine too.

Jess: I'm sorry about all of this today.
Tami: You know...
Jess: And if it means anything? I was listening.
Tami: Well I'm glad. It does mean something to me.
Jess: I'll tell ya, these rally girls. But then I can kind of understand them 'cause everyone just wants to feel a part of the team.

Jess: I've gotta run
Vince: Yeah me too - 3 miles!
Jess: Oh, well try not to trip over your ego when you're running!

Jess: It's this whole rally girl thing. I think it's demeaning for her to put her panties in my boyfriend's locker.
Tami: It's part of Texas football.

Joe McCoy: There's a hole over here on the field that if you drove your car over the hubcap would pop right off.
Buddy Garrity: Yeah, when we drive on the football field...we usually don't drive on our football field.

Julie: [about being friends with Tyra] Ok, so, first you don't want me dating Matt Saracen, now you're picking my friends for me, so maybe you guys should just....home school me.
Tami: Honey, I don't like your tone, I don't like your sarcasm, and I really don't understand what you see in hanging out with this girl. She's been suspended from school three times. Do you realize that? One time for drinking on campus.

Julie: [about Coach Taylor] Don't worry. He's all bark and no bite. Most of the time. How about uh you come over tomorrow night?
Matt: I mean, is that gonna be OK with your Mom and your Dad? ‘Cause I don't know--if...
Julie: Matt, you gotta get out of that mindset, otherwise, he's just gonna squash this, whatever--whatever this is.

Julie: [after she gets her dad to consider moving Matt to wide receiver] So me being your girlfriend - does that entitle me to like ten percent of your endorsements?
Matt: No it doesn't.
Julie: We should set up a contract now.
