Friday Night Lights

Moby-Dick is actually the perfect metaphor for this town. The cold black sea representing the season in all its uncertainties. The magical white whale is the Holy Grail.

Lyla: Mr. Street, is it true that you can throw a 400 yard touchdown pass to three different receivers at the same time? Jason: Yes, it's true. Lyla: Then you must kiss me. [kisses Jason] Is it true that you have superhuman powers and can demolish buildings and hurl fireballs? Jason: Yes, it's true. Lyla: Then you must kiss me. [kisses Jason] Is it true, Mr. Street? Jason: That I love Lyla Garrity. Lyla: Yes, is that true, Mr. Street, that you love Lyla Garrity? Jason: More than anything in the world. Lyla: More than football?

Give all of us gathered here tonight the strength to remember that life is so very fragile. We are all vulnerable and we will all at some point in our lives fall; we will all fall. We must carry this in our hearts…that what we have is special. That it can be taken from us and that when it is taken from us we will be tested…we will be tested to our very souls. We will now all be tested. It is these times…it is this pain that allows us to look inside ourselves.

Coach Taylor: I’ll tell you somethin’. I know you didn’t want me to step foot in your house tonight. I’ll tell you somethin’ else and don’t you ever forget this. You should feel proud. You should feel real proud. Matt: Yes, sir. Coach Taylor: This is all yours for the takin’. Depends on how much you want it. It’s yours for the takin’. The other night you played for a few minutes. Tomorrow, four quarters. You can’t be distracted by anything. You’re gonna have a lot of distractions. You’re gonna have our fans, their fans. You got the band. You got the cheerleaders with their pretty young-shaped legs bouncing up and down. You got a job to do. Nothing else.
