Friday Night Lights, Season 5

Coach Taylor:
Go ahead say what's on your mind.

Vince:
First of all you didn't ask me about how I felt about Jess being on the team. And this shirt and tie? Whatever high standards you're looking for, this ain't it.

Coach Taylor:
Close that door. When I first met you, you were climbing out of a police car. People said you were a punk and you'd never last on the field.

Vince:
Screw that.I work hard for everything.

Coach Taylor:
I know that and you oughta be proud of that. I am. Your teammates are proud of you. It's about character. It's about striving to be better than everybody else.

Vince:
Coach, my dad just got out of prison. He's staying with me at my house. And I can't stand him. My mom she asked me to forgive him, to be better. And you're asking me to be better. I don't know how to be better because he never taught me how! He never taught me to be better! He's not around. And I'm supposed to be better!?

Coach Taylor:
Listen to me. I said you need to strive to be better than everyone else. I didn't say you needed to be better than everyone else. But you gotta try. That's what character is. It's in the trying.
