Ted Lasso Quote
Sam: Hey, hey. Hey, Coach. What about Zava? ... He quit the team.
Ted: I mean, technically he retired from the whole sport, which makes it feel a little less personal, yeah? You know, like if, uh, your girlfriend runs off with some dude and it turns out they were soul mates.
Coach Beard: (whispers) Oh. Yeah. Gina f?ck?ng Gershon.
Ted: Uh, but look, look, look, look. I hear you, okay? Zava is gone. And you know what? I think it's a good thing. (players murmuring) I do. Okay, look. Do I wanna win? Heck yeah. But I also wanna do it with folks that wanna be here. (players grumbling) It's not like we could handcuff him to his locker and make him love us.
Dani: We could have tried. (players chuckle)
Ted: Hey, guys. Guys, look. We got a good thing going here. All right? Mm-hmm. We didn't need Zava. Yeah. All we need to win are the fellas in this room right now. And all you fellas need to do is believe it. (the 'Believe" sign splits in half )
Moe: Whoa! It's a sign.
Colin: That's it. We're doomed.
All: We're done. We're done. We're finished. We're finished.
Ted: Now... Now, hold on. Hey, knock it off, okay? We're not doomed. No one is doomed. But, Bumbercatch, yes, you're right. It is a sign. I agree. Yeah. In fact this, it's just a sign. (Ted takes down the sign and rips it up. The players gasp.) All right, guys, listen to me. Belief doesn't just happen 'cause you hang something up on a wall. All right? It comes from in here. You know? And up here. Down here. Only problem is, we all got so much junk floating through us, a lot of time we end up getting in our own way. You know, crap like envy or fear, shame. I don't wanna mess around with that sh?t anymore. You know what I mean? Do you?
Players: No. No, Coach.
Ted: No. No. Do you?
Players: No.
Ted: No, me neither. Hell no. Well, you know what I wanna mess around with? The belief that I matter, you know? Regardless of what I do or don't achieve. Or the belief that we all deserve to be loved, whether we've been hurt or maybe we've hurt somebody else. Or what about the belief of hope? Yeah? That's what I wanna mess with. Believing that things can get better. That I can get better. That we will get better. Oh, man. To believe in yourself. To believe in one another. Man, that's... That's fundamental to being alive. And look. Yo, hey. If you can do that, if each of you can truly do that... can't nobody rip that apart.
