- Quotes
Nathan Shelley: [hesitantly answers the door] You here to kill me?
Coach Beard: Ted and I met playing college football. He was the backup punter, and I was the backup kicker. We never got in a game, but we spent a lot of time together, jogging and doing box jumps. After school, we went our separate ways. He was dating Michelle, got into coaching. And I got into prison. When I got paroled... I had no money, my family didn't want me. I had nowhere to go. So I looked up Ted. He took me in, fed me, let me crash on his couch. And in return, I stole his car. Now, I didn't get far. And I would've gone straight back to prison if Ted didn't come down there and convince those cops that he gave me the car.
Nathan Shelley: Just like in "Les Mis".
Coach Beard: Our story is very similar to "Les Mis", yes.
Nathan Shelley: You went to prison?
Coach Beard: Yes. For stealing a loaf of meth. And then I stole from my friend. Who forgave me. And gave me a job, and a life.
[takes a deep breath]
Coach Beard: So to honor that, I forgive you. I offer you a job. The life part's up to you.
Nathan Shelley: [stunned] Thank you.
[pause]
Nathan Shelley: You sure you don't want to headbutt me? I think it might make us both feel better.
[Beard steps inside, grabs Nate's head, then gently touches his forehead to Nate's]
Coach Beard: Monday. 10:00 am.

This episode in particular was so good it made me (and Roy Kent) cry. I didn't think they could top "Sunflowers" but this most certainly did. I laughed so hard, and was on the edge of my sets during the Man City match.
People giving this 1 star clearly don't understand the show and it's messages. It is one of the best shows on TV, and I for one, will be gutted when it ends. For those of you moaning about the format and content of the show, if you want to see 100% football every week, watch Match Of The Day...
