BEST OF TV (2011 EDITION) | Saying Goodbye to the Best Show on TV » Friday Night Lights

“Jason Street got paralyzed. I realized that he was this great guy, I mean like this hero, and it happened to him. And it, it made me realize that life isn’t fair for anybody. Not just me. I became friends with Julie and Mrs Taylor started to take some interest in me. Started doing my homework. You. I met you. I started to feel like I was on the inside instead of the outside.” - Tyra Colette (3.12, Underdogs)

BECKY: So you going to do the whole college football start thing?
LUKE: Probably not.
BECKY: How come?
LUKE: There are other people who are just better, you know, end of story. Nobody wants me.
BECKY: I want you. (picks her up.) I thought you were being cute!
LUKE: That was cute!

Billy: Really? Really? “Hey, Becky, you look real pretty.” No, seriously, that’s your game? That’s, like, your go-to line?
Luke: No games, I just like her. Your wife told me to go for it. I’m going for it.
Billy: My wife is a woman, dumbass, okay? Listen, man, she doesn’t understand how men work. Lesson number one, if you’re into a chick, you can’t pay any attention to her. Trust me on this, okay?

Becky: No, I mean, like, what are you doing? You’re acting really weird towards me.
Luke: Am I?
Becky: “Hey, rally girl, stadium’s that way.” I mean… I mean, what is that? I figured it was just, like, testosterone pumping for the game, but, maybe, I don’t know. Well, you’re just usually friendly, and you call me by my name, and…
Luke: Well, no, I mean, do you like it when I’m nice to you?
Becky: Yeah, I like it when you’re nice to me.
Luke: Okay. I’m so sorry. Just, someone told me that if I… Someone told me if I wanted you to like me, I had to, like, ignore you and blow you off, and then you’ll like me. Look, Becky, I hate acting this way towards you, all right? I really like you.
Becky: Well… I really like you too.
Luke: You do?
Becky: Yeah. I really, really do.
Luke: (Laughing)
Becky: Why are you laughing?
Luke: It totally worked.

Mindy: Hi. Kids, um, I don’t know what’s going on between you, and I don’t really care, but you need to get over it, because you’re both young, and you’re both hot, and you both need to get laid. So I’m gonna go back over there with my husband, and you two can stay here and screw like bunnies, but, you know, be safe and use protection and all that mommy talk, and, um, enjoy. You’re totally welcome.
Luke: I-I didn’t tell— I didn’t tell her to say that. I promise I didn’t say anything to her about that.
