Ted Lasso Quote
Coach Beard: Ted and I met playing college football. He was the backup punter. 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. And he was dating Michelle, got into coaching. And I got into prison. When I got paroled... I had no money, 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: Just like in Les Mis.
Coach Beard: Our story is very similar to Les Mis, yes.
Nathan: You went to prison?
Coach Beard: Yes. For stealing a loaf of meth. And then I stole from my friend. Who forgave me. (sighs) And gave me a job. And a life. So to honor that, I forgive you. I offer you a job. And the life part's up to you.
