Friday Night Lights Page #5

Have you seen him hold on to the football?

How 'bout tomorrow? You gonna hold

on to it tomorrow? How 'bout now?

- Can you hold... hold on to the football.

- Goddamn it, Dad.

- Dad.

- Maybe this'll help.

- What are you doing?

- Hold... on... to... the football!

Dad! Goddamn it, Dad!

Knock it off!

That's enough.

I don't think we've felt this kind of

expectation in years.

If Winchell shows up

like we know he can,

even a short passing game to give Boobie

Miles a couple of feet of cushion...

- You boys all right?

- Yes, sir.

Yes, sir.

- Gonna win state?

- Yes, sir.

- Yes, sir.

- Undefeated?

- Yes, sir.

- Get it done.

Take this opportunity

to support the Permian Panthers...

The Southern California lifestyle

is but one of the bonus features...

of playing for...

- What's that word?

- Uh, distinguished.

- Who's that one from, UCLA?

- No, this is USC. That's UCLA right there.

Hey, Mike. You gonna come visit

my distinguished ass in California?

See if I can put the damn smile

on your face.

You know I'm fittin'

to be rich, right?

I'm thinkin' about hiring, uh, Eddie Murphy

to lay some of his sh*t on you...

till you crack a damn smile.

No? Well, what about

Richard Pryor?

Bill Cosby?

I know you like Bill Cosby.

Mike Winchell, you got

a natural ability...

for throwing Boobie Miles the ball.

Any every once in a while

you throw a pretty good pass,

so you're going to eat

your Jell-O Pudding Pops.

Wah!

Yo, Mike Winchell. You gonna move

out of Odessa, Texas one day, baby,

and you gonna come visit

Boobie Miles in California,

and you gonna smile,

or I'm gonna stick about four

pudding pops up your white ass.

Now, now... Oh, my God.

I got Mike Winchell to smile.

Look at this! Wah!

Did y'all see it? Wah.

That's probably the only smile

y'all gonna see from Mike all season.

Yeah. Yeah.

- I'm distinguished now.

- Hey, Boobie.

- What?

- You didn't lift.

Come on, man.

This is God-given.

Only thing I gotta do

is just show up.

Now, people call this monument out here,

the Ratliff Stadium,

the monument to football of Odessa.

They say some of that money

should have gone to the school.

What's your feelings on that, D.U.?

You played ball.

Ain't that stadium

part of the school?

So I say that money did go to the school.

What's everybody whinin' about?

This is football country, folks.

Come on. Get your heads out.

- Hi, Don.

- Hey, Karen.

- It's you. Do you like it? Do you like it?

- Think so. What is it?

- Rice Krispy. You like it, right?

- Yeah, I love it.

- Thanks.

- You're welcome.

- Hey, Gary?

- Hey, John. How you doin'?

Good. Um, you real busy?

I got a minute or two.
