- [Coach Taylor sees Matt taking frustration out on some equipment]
- Eric Taylor: What the hell are you doing?
- Matt Saracen: I do whatever you ask me to. I helped you win the State Championship. I got you to 3 and 1 this season. I work my ass off at practice. I do everything that you say. If it's cause J.D. is better than me, tell me that.
- Eric Taylor: My job is to field a team out there that wins games. Right now, that means J.D. McCoy, yes.
- Matt Saracen: Then I quit.
- Eric Taylor: You're not quitting this team. I'm not gonna let you quit. I know you. You quit this team, you're gonna hate yourself. You wanna be pissed? Fine, go ahead. You be pissed I don't give a damn. But you're not quitting this team.
- Matt Saracen: Fine, I'll sit on your bench. I'll come to practice and I'll do whatever you tell me to do. But I'm gonna hate it. And you're gonna hate it. Good talk, Coach.
