Ted Lasso - Half Time Team Talk vs West Ham with Reuniting the Pieces

From S03 E12 “So Long, Farewell”

[@schempgirl1]

Well I’ll say it, this show has changed my life.

[@williammccormick984]

Genuinely made me more patient, understanding and forgiving as a person. A miraculous feat for that "random soccer show on AppleTV that I heard was good."

[@sheillaallen2538]

Same here. I’m a better person for having watched this show.

[@natefromthestates5822]

Yes!

Ted dream? I have a theory. Yet, I feel it could have went a couple more seasons

That Jamie was using it as a bookmark for a book he was actually reading is awesome.

[@phrophetsamgames]

And it's the book Ted gave him in Season 1

​@@phrophetsamgamesWell, I'm a slow reader myself...

[@christiehoffer5707]

I loved that it was the book Ted gave him in season 1 he had thrown in the trash. And now, it is well worn, as if from repetitive reading.

[@Vellona]

The fact that each team member keeps in a place that means something to them, like Sam keeps it behind the Nigerian team photo, Jamie keeps it in the book he got from Ted, Isaac keeps it strapped in with the captain's band, shows that Ted and his coaches have truly impacted the team in a deep and personal way. I love this show so much.

I just noticed the book that Jamie takes it from today!

I love the eye contact and unspoken words between Ted and Nate when the team starts to reassemble the sign.

[@Squinty32]

And the eye contact when when he says “there ain’t a whole lotta places like AFC Richmond either”

[@JMSM84]

If they hadn’t taken the sign apart, the team wouldn’t have had a reason when it counts to bring it back together.

[@Mitsywolfe]

Nate's betrayal and reuninfication was necessary. Not that it was part of a plan, but it is something that can be incorporated into the richmond way @@JMSM84

[@jonlukevandam]

Everyone who wants to be a better person or make the world a better place needs to watch this show. I don’t think any individual piece of fiction is enough to change your life. But gosh darn it’s a freaking amazing start

Second, that.

[@andrewbardwell1763]

I’m not crying, you’re crying

[@robertderrig8018]

The first part feels just as much a speech from Jason to the other actors as it is Ted to the team

[@skepple1554]

It absolutely was. That was definitely Jason talking to the cast and crew.

[@theITproductions1]

That's exactly what I thought! His voice ever so wavered too, genuinely touched

[@blackout2189]

When Matt Smith left Doctor Who, his final Doctor speech was really similar. I love stuff like that. Monologues that can be read as a fourth-wall break.

[@theITproductions1]

@@blackout2189 I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT TOO 🥺🥺

[@mostly_insane2291]

I cried three times during the finale. 1: The musical number by the team. 2: This scene 3: The montage at the end.

[@ester8009]

I cried watching nearly every episode, but in this one I cried three times aswell, on the same scenes you listed

[@JasonPark-so8su]

The book that Jamie kept in his locker was actually given to him by Ted as a gift in season 1!

[@aidanwotherspoon905]

I literally cried when I saw them taking out the fragments of the sign

[@Osito_1613]

It was emotional, but when I saw Jamie take it out of a BOOK!!! Wow that made me cry for sure lol true growth

[@ShawnMicheldeMontaigne]

It's the obvious--and very real--red eyes from so many of the cast in this scene that just does me in every time I watch it. Coach Beard's face ... Nate's ... Roy's ... What an incredible series. For my money, the best ever made.

[@TheD4N1EL]

I like how he looks at Jamie when he says men you’ve become, cause Jamie really has become a great person

[@kay13574]

Don't know if it's great acting or real emotion but you can hear Jason's voice crack a couple of times during his first couple of sentences. What a scene

[@cs3473]

I was just moved that the team members kept the pieces of the "Believe" sign.

[@michaelhughes8968]

Nice detail that Jamie's was kept in a copy of F. Scott Fitzgerald's The Beautiful and Damned--it was the book he received from Ted in Season 1 that he threw away almost immediately. Love the small callbacks.

[@khloeklear8930]

The fact they could of never imagined how much he would come to mean to them is magical here and i love the fact that trent crimm became part of the team and had is hand in at the end ❤❤

[@theodorefigueroa9339]

I know some may say this scene is overdone... But man it had to be. This moment... Is so damn beautiful... To see the growth of every single individual in this club. Not just the starters, not just Rebecca, not just the kit man, not just the assistants but every single person in this club has been influenced and improved by this man. And he was damn proud of who they grew to be. Yes they may not need him anymore. They may all be at a point in their lives where they are ready to go to the next challenge but they ALL carry a piece of him with them. And that's what this scene represented. Ted changed their life. He now will always be a part of them going forward no matter where or what or how they choose to live it. They may be ready to move on but there's no mistaking, Ted Lasso will forever be a part of who they are. You couldn't illustrate this simple message any better... Quoting another franchise hear that I think applies... "We are what they grow beyond... That is the true burden of all masters."

[@sigmapete1]

Apt quote from a great scene of a movie sometimes maligned for all the wrong reasons.

[@du_jammin21]

I don't think there will ever be another show like Ted Lasso that can seize every emotion and return pure joy.

[@TheWasif]

This is one of the GREAT scenes in television history. I will not entertain any contrary views on that. ❤

[@VonckenLOTR]

this scene really broke me, was completely wailing when they got the pieces back together

[@secondchances1232]

Just one of many incredible moments from this episode.

[@1.21gigawatts2]

The world would be a better place if we all had a Ted Lasso in our lives.

[@batmanofsanantonio5331]

This moment in streaming history made me cry. It’s beautiful, honest and wonderfully acted. Richmond on three!!!

[@ethanchadwick1566]

The book ted gave jamie in season 1!

[@reblewi30]

The amount of tiny little details through out this entire show is just next level! It’s so wonderful!

[@michaelhughes8968]

Love this detail. All of the scenes of this episode have these little callbacks baked in that make rewatching a fun experience.

[@ybr4512]

On of the greatest shows of all time. I needed it when I discovered it.

[@sheillaallen2538]

I usually avoid the end of a show that I love like I have loved this show but I believed they would end it in a way that elevated everything about the show and this scene is the perfect example of that. I will be sad but I know I am not alone and I will smile because it happened.

[@mrlindsays]

This show was and will always be magical!!

[@adrianprepelita8683]

This was the best moment in the entire show!

[@roberttrudel3355]

Ted Lasso was luminous and inspiring It reminded us of the bedrock of ethics, “Do unto others as you would have them do unto you”. Not to be confused by this new dark rule, “do unto others before they do unto you “. Life is hard and the path forward is often obscured by our own clutter. Do away with all the unnecessary layers of drama and prejudice. Let in the light through the cracks of humor, kindness and love. If you find going through life is easy, you’re not doing it right. I wrote this before the final episode because, whatever happens then, nothing short of a plane crash will dim my love for this show. It’s not about the wins and losses , they’re now all better versions of themselves (except Rupert) and the best is yet to come. We will miss those characters but I won’t mind if the story telling stops here. We have the gift of imagination, let’s use it to make them live on in our hearts. RT Montréal PS Kudos to JS who clearly followed his gut in creating this show but we should also have a thought for the Apple exec who gave the green light.

[@markjackson6456]

Just noticed that Jamie’s pice of the sign is in the book Ted gave him from season 1 that he threw away 😢

[@jancolby1397]

Loved the "And that's # 4." put in there I missed that the night of the finale and heard it here. Nice touch.

[@london_lulu]

I lost it when they all started putting the pieces together. 😭

[@JKeep21]

Isaac putting the piece of the believe sign under the captain’s armband 👌 2:49

[@Jgatti41]

I can honestly say this has become my all time favorite show. It was as close to perfection as any comedy/drama show I have seen. From the writing to the characters and the actors/actresses who portray them.

[@boat1280]

It's so gratifying to see a show revel in personal growth, joy, and friendship. There's no real "villains", just people making mistakes and learning from them. It's so wonderful. Colin kissing his man at the end made me cry. When I was a kid I never thought I'd see the day where a gay kiss is treated exactly the same as any other.

[@creatinjustin]

It’s the best show I’ve ever seen

[@sgtlamancha805]

The look between Nate and Ted over the players’ heads. Nate now sees Ted like Beard sees Ted. So good. Thank you to all involved…

[@howardstone4565]

One of so many great moments in this series. I so wanted another season or two out of it, but it was masterfully done.

[@viscaelfutbol44]

I don’t care what others say about this show, but this is up there, grown man here and it made me cry

[@MclovinHawaii-qp6bx]

I miss this show so much. The way they pull you into the character’s and story make you laugh and cry. It is one of the best series I have ever watched. And I am watching it all over again. Loved it and miss it.

[@deano2160]

There are few shows that bring a tears of saddness and happiness to my eye and this did. Its precious piece of tv that transcended the medium.

[@Dat1guyDev33]

The look Ted gives Nate: said a million things without a single word being uttered. “Everything is Okay” great scene and the acting, phenomenal!

[@jayantabiswas4427]

This scene makes me cry every time, doesn't matter how many times I have seen it.

[@jayantabiswas4427]

Still true

[@jsmcguireIII]

As a youth coach I had some strong emotions seeing this and remembered those brief golden years when I had the honor to guide them through some valuable lessons. I occasionally see these grown men and they smile like a sunrise.

[@CHRIS-the-POWER]

What really got me in this scene is the subtitle shot when the players all bend down to reassemble the sign and you notice Ted isn't looking down at it he's looking straight at Nate

[@brodiepisack4198]

I love the fact that some of the players kept the sign in their kits.

[@stevehowarth9432]

Can’t leave it like this we need Ted in our lives he is a flame in these dark times

[@ltrain7715]

Cried throughout this entire episode what a fantastic show

[@ddhawan]

No words said and the most inspirational moment in the entire show!

[@alexbutt01]

One amazing attribute of this show is the subtle portrayal of emotions that often tell a whole story without saying a word. A typical example of this was in this whole scene especially at 3:39 when the players bend down to piece together their pieces of the poster. Just as everyone bends down, Nate's eyes meet the eyes of coach Lasso. A bewildered shrug of shoulders follows as if saying ' you were right, shattering a poster can not shatter the beliefs of these players'. Coach Lasso nods in acknowledgement as if saying ' told you so'. And within a matter of few tiny seconds, a whole story has been told

[@andreal6954]

This scene always brings a tear to my eye. Who would have thought this "Believe" sign would mean so much and how it would come full circle from episode 1. What an amazing show where it showed us the importance of kindness, forgiveness, friendship, and that it is better to be curious than judgmental. I miss this show and all the characters.

[@colinconnor88]

[@stankwong]

the warble in Coach's voice made this speech/moment so much more special.

[@ROFLewis]

I love the fact that Trent was included when they all put their hands in

[@coachfrakersclass7498]

So many little parts in this scene. Trent feeling as if he was actually a part of the team also got to me. He despised Ted to begin with, then liked him, and here he’s become part of his group…and is grinning like a child with happiness.

[@ROFLewis]

@@coachfrakersclass7498I think what meant more to him was the fact that Ted looked over at him and smiled and didn’t say any about Trent joining in, the entire scene you could see Trent walking over and Ted didn’t even hesitate about it. Ted and tenet together were amazing. Trent was probably my favourite character along with Roy in the final season.

[@richardhoner7842]

Such a brilliant show about people.

[@NuckingFuts90]

I didn't expect to love this show as much as I do but holy shit this show is amazing!

“It’s the hope that kills you,” a phrase that concedes defeat in life’s most difficult moments. “Believe,” Ted Lasso.

Just started rewatching with my husband and he’s had it with Jamie. I told him to be patient.

[@TJJulkowski]

As a former ballplayer and coach I can tell you there is nothing in sports that compares to when a team finally understand the we is so much greater than the I. I fear in todays social media society so many players only care about themselves and “getting the bag”. I am afraid this type of sacrifice is lost forever.

What i love is that the speech really wasnt just for the show, but Jason Sudeikis thanking his co stars as well. Incredible!

[@normancarter5419]

This show was only 3 seasons, but it will be remembered AND RANKED along with the top comedic contemporary masterpieces such as MASH, CHEERS, FRIENDS, FRAISER, SEINFELD.

[@ExtremelyAverageMan]

There have only been 2 TV shows ever that I've seen that in my mind have come so close to absolute perfection when it comes to the brilliance in writing, acting, emotional effect, and a long-lasting impression, and Ted Lasso is one of those shows. ...the other show is Band of Brothers.

[@mdclavey59]

There is so much going on in this scene unsaid that speaks to how great these actors are... the reflection in Beard's and Roy's face as they realize it's all coming to an end... the struggle in Ted's face when he instinctively turns to the "BELIEVE" sign and it's not there... the impish contentment in Sam's face as he takes the first piece of the sign to the table... the glances between Ted and Nate... Nate almost breaking into tears as he looks down and away from Ted... the hopeful look on Trent's face as he edges to the scrum... the tiniest lip-twitch from Maas when Ted says "There ain't a whole lot of places like AFC Richmond either". So. Much. Going. On.

[@sammythegun3]

Quite reminiscent of Hoosiers with the “I love you guys”. Hoping more shows/movies of this quality are on the horizon.

I love this scene for all the same reasons everyone else has mentioned, and I'll add one more thing. The music. The score in this scene is just gorgeous. It's so subtle, yet it amplifies the emotion so much.

Ted’s Fourth and final key to the Lasso Way was always there, just above their heads.

[@drestar6921]

This ep had some good moments, although I wish things turned out differently i appreciate all that this show has given me and the people in these comments. It’s inspired many to believe

[@derpderka3688]

So many subtle things.. but the thing that hits hardest is do you notice Trent Crimm isn't writing whats happening down @ 3:22? He is in the moment..living it. instead of trying to articulate it for his book like in other scenes. The writer of this show is one of the best at consistency within character arcs.. I would love to see an American spin off where a British manager came to America to help the worst team in the MLS.

Could the bottle where Richard Montlaur keeps his piece of the "Believe"-sign be the one he kept the sand from the beach where he first slept with a Supermodel in (Season 1, the episode where everyone sacrifices something valuable)? If so, that would be a nice detail that shows how much it meant to him.
