Friday Night Lights Page #3

Synopsis: Odessa, Texas, is a small, town in Texas. Racially divided and economically dying, there is one night that gives the town something to live for: Friday Night. The Permian Panthers have a big winning tradition in Texas high school football, led by QB Mike Winchell and superstar tailback Boobie Miles, but all is not well, as Boobie suffers a career-ending injury in the first game of the season. Hope is lost among citizens in Odessa, and for the team, but Coach Gary Gaines, who believes that "Perfection is being able to look your friends in the eye and know you did everything you could not to let them down", is somehow able to help the team rise up from the ashes and make a huge season comeback. Now on their way to state, the Panthers must go out and be perfect, because they may never matter this much for the rest of their lives.

- Say hi to your mom, huh?

- Yes, sir. Yes, sir.

Stay out of jail, Billingsley.

- We're not goin' home, Mike.

- I ain't goin' out drunk foolin'.

How 'bout I bring your mom some dinner

so you can come out with us?

Because we're gonna get laid,

and we're gonna get drunk, and we're

gonna win state, but not tonight.

All right?

You been blessed, Mike,

'cause we got a runner.

He's gonna make us all look good.

So I'm telling you to lighten up.

All you gotta do is exist in

those two seconds between snap,

and you givin' Boobie the ball.

state championship quarterback, huh?

Where's the damn camera?

Winchell, boy, you remember every

minute of this. I'm tellin' you right now.

You're 17, but it goes fast.

Don't sleep. Don't waste a second of it.

'Cause before you know it,

it's done.

Nothin' but babies and memories.

You hear me?

Babies and memories. Smile, sweetheart.

Give us a smile. Say Mojo. Say Mojo.

I tell you what, why don't you

hold on to her for a little while?

Babysit her for us for a couple hours.

We're gonna go get a drink.

We'll be back in a little bit.

All right. I'm kiddin' with ya.

Come here. Come here, sweet...

Come here, sweetie. Let's go

back over to Mama. All right.

Thank you. Thank you.

Hey, hey. Bring it home, huh?

Bring one of these home.

Get you one of these.

Christian, get you one of these.

Boys? Right here.

Come up here a second.

Got some change for you.

Wanna go to that party?

Just for a little bit?
