- 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.

Hats off to Phil Dunster for giving his career best performance here. The character development for Jamie throughout these last three seasons has been truly amazing to watch and this episode may have cemented him as my favorite character on the show. I think this episode may have secured Dunster an Emmy nomination. I would also like to point out that Jason Sudeikis, Brendan Hunt and Nick Mohammad do some great work in this episode as well.
After losing a small bit of faith in this show, this episode has put me back on track and has me beyond excited for the finale and all of the emotions that it is going to bring me.
