Friday Night Lights - 1.2 Eyes Wide Open

If you only ever give one FNL clip a shot, it should be this one. So much of what I love about the show is captured here.

Two years ago, I was afraid of wanting anything. I figured wanting would lead to trying, and trying would lead to failure. But now I find I can’t stop wanting. I wanna fly somewhere in first class. I wanna travel to Europe on a business trip. I wanna get invited to the White House. I wanna learn about the world. I wanna surprise myself. I wanna be important. I wanna be the best person I can be. I wanna define myself instead of having others define me. I wanna win and have people be happy for me. I wanna lose and get over it. I wanna not be afraid of the unknown. I wanna grow up to be generous and big hearted, the way that people have been with me. I want an interesting and surprising life. It’s not that I think I’m gonna get all these things. I just want the possibility of getting them. College represents this possibility. The possibility that things are gonna change. I can’t wait.

Friday Night Lights, season 3

You don’t have to worry about me, in a fight I just kinda stand in the back and just yell stuff.

TIM: Did you get my letters?
ERIC: I did. I’m sorry I didn’t come visit more.
TIM: I’m sorry I let you down.
ERIC: You didn’t, and that’s not why I’m here.
TIM: Thank you for coming.

Tim: Um, I screwed up. I’m sorry.
Lyla: So many people have warned me about getting into this with you. You know what I tell ‘em? I tell em that they don’t know you like I do. I tell em that you’re a good guy. You are, right? You’re a good guy. Please don’t make a fool out of me. 
Tim: I won’t. 

my eyes were wide open.
