Lyla: I think you should come.
Jason: 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.
Lyla: Like you're not used to that.
Jason: 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”.
Lyla: It's not like that. People just want to see you, you know? I miss you.
Jason: Is that right?
Lyla: Mmm-hmm.

Lyla: I'm sorry. There are no words that can ever express that, but I am so sorry. Please.
[Lyla starts crying]
Jason: Did you have sex with him? How many times?
Lyla: Jason, please.
Jason: Oh come on, how many?... You can go.

Lyla: Tim, just don't do this okay?
Tim: Do what?
Lyla: Pretend that you're interested in my school work. It's obvious that you're not, that you're just trying to--
Tim: Have a conversation, Lyla? Yeah, I thought we may want to try and do that sometime.
Lyla: Okay. What do you want to talk about Tim? The fact that you're sleeping with your paralyzed best friend's girlfriend. Is that what you want to talk about, Tim? No, I don't think we're going to be doing a lot of talking.

Lyla: Tim? Hey. Uh, we're having a prayer meeting for Jason this afternoon. You wanna come?
Tim: What are we going to pray for, Lyla? A new spine for Jay?
Lyla: Tim, I know you don't do anything you don't want to do, and I guess that's fine, but don't insult me.

Lyla: What are you doing? Don't you know you're sitting with the school slut?
Tim: Let them look, Lyla. I don't care.
Lyla: It's different for girls. You can sleep around all you want and people think you're cool. I make one mistake--and it was a mistake. Tim you're making it worse. You can't be here.

Lyla: Why haven't you called? It doesn't look like you're busy, it looks like you're watching TV. Listen I know it may be a lot to ask of you to call me so that I know if we are engaged or boyfriend and girlfriend or really good pals.
Jason: Get off my back, Lyla. What do I have right now, huh? I got a girlfriend who cheated on me. I got parents that are breaking up because of some stupid lawsuit. I lost the Coach, lost the team, lost my friends, lost Quad Rugby. So I got nothing, so I'm sorry if I'm not being the perfect boyfriend right now but I got a lot more on my mind then powder puff and prom, and this cup is way too full; I'll spill it you know that.
Lyla: [throws cup of water on Jason] No it's not too full.
Jason: What the hell was that for?!
Lyla: You think it's been easy for me helping you in and out of that chair.
Jason: Well no one is holding a gun to your head.
Lyla: I do it because I love you stupid, but now you're sitting here feeling sorry for yourself and acting like a jackass all the time. You wanna play Rugby find another team; you hate this lawsuit so much find a way to make it go away. Next time you want a glass of water, say please.

Lyla: Why'd you do it? Why didn't you think about it Dad?
Buddy: Lyla, your dad's a sinner, I'm a weak man, but it was one mistake. I swear Lyla, I will never, ever do anything to hurt this family again honey. I swear.

Mama Williams: Where you going?
Smash: To my room! I'm going to my room!
Mama Williams: You better lower your voice boy, your sisters are sleeping.
Smash: How could you be so stupid?
Mama Williams: You better watch your mouth.
Smash: How could you go to Coach? Do you realize what you did? If he goes to the Athletic Commission I'm gone, I'm off the team forever. My scholarships, oh yeah, all them letters they've been sending me, they don't mean nothing now, they worthless--gone, all gone. You ruined my life Mama.
Mama Williams: No, son, I'm trying to save it. You wanna know why I went to your Coach?
Smash: Please tell me.
Mama Williams: ‘Cause I didn't want to think that you were dumb enough to do something so stupid on your own.

Mama Williams: You quitting football to try and make a point about racism in a small Texas town, that ain't the "Million Man March" You are seventeen and you got a brilliant future ahead of you and I'm not gonna sit here and watch you throw it away trying to teach a lesson to a bunch of fools. You know how you get back at people that think like Mac McGill. You get back on that team. You play like the star that you are and you get recruited by an A-list University, go on and get your degree. Now you get up from here, get you something to eat, get your butt in the bed 'cause you're going to that game tomorrow.
Smash: What about everybody who said they weren't gonna play?
Mama Williams: You a leader honey, they'll follow you.

Matt: [to Coach Taylor] I think I might have been confused between what was right for the team, and what... and what was right.

Matt: Do, you want me to walk you to the door or something?
Julie: Are you kidding me, my dad's gonna kill you if he sees you. Where are my keys?
Matt: Julie, I love you.
Julie: Uh, what?
Matt: I love you.
Julie: Um...um. Me, too. I love you too. I'll call you later.
Matt: OK, bye.

Matt: Does your mom know that you're here?
Julie: Matt, why are you even asking that?
Matt: Look, it's just I don't really want you getting grounded again. I kind of like being allowed to see you.
Julie: [laughing] I'm not gonna get grounded again okay?
Matt: You're not?
Julie: No, and nothing is gonna keep me from seeing you.

Matt: Have you, um, you haven't maybe thought about um, maybe, what I, what I asked you the other night about maybe going out.
Julie: Uh, yeah, yeah. I'm considering.
Matt: Considering.
Julie: I-I just--
Matt: No, no. That's great.

Matt: So, you wanna maybe try and study again in the...
Julie: I think we should have sex.
Matt: Morning.
Julie: Well, I think it's time, don't you think. [Matt nods] Yeah, me too, so um, let's get on that, good night.
Tami: [from the car] Hey, Matt.
Matt: Hi, Mrs...Mrs. Coach.

Matt: Um, did, uh, did you finish your book?
Julie: I did. What'd you do last night?
Matt: Uh, nothing, I, I just you know, I just went out to work and then I went home.
Julie: I saw the calendar.
Matt: Wh--What?
Julie: A bunch of the rally girls were passing around this morning.
Matt: No, see they totally kidnapped me like, like with Riggins the other night. But nothing happened, so it's--it's but nothing happened at all.
Julie: Why'd you lie about it?
