- Isaac Jaffe: Now you had an obligation to tell us how you felt. Partly because I don't like getting a phone call saying I put one of my people in the hospital. But mostly because if you feel that strongly about something, you have a responsibility to try and change my mind! Did you think I would fire you simply because you made a convincing argument? It's taken me a lot of years, but I've come around to this: If you're dumb, surround yourself with smart people. If you're smart, surround yourself with smart people who disagree with you.
- Dan Rydell: At this point, the length of this conversation is way out of proportion to my interest in it.
- Jeremy Goodwin: Not fitting in is how qualified people lose jobs.
- Isaac: Yeah, but a lot of the time, it's how they end up working here.
- Casey McCall: Well, they gotta score twice to win. Why not just get the three right now? He's got the wind at his back.
- Isaac: He doesn't have the leg.
- Casey McCall: He's got the wind at his back.
- Isaac: I don't care if he's got the wind at his back and a song in his heart, he doesn't have the leg.
- Casey McCall: You're a crazy man from St. Louis. You have no business being in sports.
- Natalie Hurley: Wait. There are two cars downstairs.
- Dan Rydell: Good.
- Natalie Hurley: I want you to ride with Isaac.
- Dan Rydell: Fine.
- Natalie Hurley: I want you to ride with Isaac so that Casey rides with Dana.
- Dan Rydell: That's fine.
- Natalie Hurley: [knowingly] I want Casey to ride with Dana.
- Dan Rydell: I get it.
- Natalie Hurley: Do you?
- Dan Rydell: I ride with Isaac and Casey and Dana fall in love.
- Natalie Hurley: Right!
- Dan Rydell: Wow, is that a stupid plan.
- Jeremy Goodwin: Is getting "The Call" you know, good?
- Dana Whitaker: Better than a poke in the eye?
- Jeremy Goodwin: Really?
- Dana Whitaker: Yes.
- Jeremy Goodwin: How much better?
- [reflecting upon the wording used on a formal invitation]
- Casey McCall: "October the Eighth, Nineteen Hundred and Ninety Eight, A.D." A.D... They're worried I might accidentally show up 2, 000 years before the birth of Christ.
- Jeremy Goodwin: We shot a deer. In the woods near Lake Mattatuck on the second day. There was a special vest they had me wear so that they could distinguish me from things they wanted to shoot, and I was pretty grateful for that. Almost the whole day had gone by, and we hadn't gotten anything. Eddie was getting frustrated and Bob Shoemaker was getting embarrassed. My camera guy needed to re-load so I told everybody to take a ten minute break. There was a stream nearby and I walked over with this care-package Natalie made me. I sat down and when I looked up I saw three of them; small, bigger, biggest. Recognizable to any species on the face of the planet as a child, a mother and a father. Now, the trick in shooting deer is you gotta get 'em out in the open. And it's tough with deer, 'cause these are clever, cagey animals with an intuitive sense of danger. You know what you have to do to get a deer out in the open? You hold out a twinkie. That animal clopped up to me like we were at a party. She seemed to be pretty interested in the twinkie, so I gave it to her. Looking back, she'd have been better off if I'd given her the damn vest. And Bob kind of screamed at me in whisper, "Move away!" The camera had been re-loaded and it looked like the day wasn't gonna be a washout after all. So I backed away, a couple of steps at a time, and I closed my eyes when I heard the shot. Look, I know these are animals, and they don't play bridge and go to the prom, but you can't tell me that the little one didn't know who his mother was. That's gotta mean something. And later, at the hospital, Bob Shoemaker was telling me about the nobility and tradition of hunting and how it related to the native American Indians. And I nodded and I said that was interesting while I was thinking about what a load of crap it was. Hunting was part of Indian culture. It was food and it was clothes and it was shelter. They sang and danced and offered prayers to the gods for a successful hunt so that they could survive just one more unimaginably brutal winter. The things they had to kill held the highest place of respect for them, and to kill for fun was a sin. And they knew the gods wouldn't be so generous next time. What we did wasn't food and it wasn't shelter and it sure wasn't sports! It was just mean!
- Dan Rydell: Nobody move! Name five teams that play in the MLS, and Casey says it's an American soccer league so you can't choose Luxembourg. Go.
- Natalie Hurley: Columbus Crew.
- Elliot: Miami Fusion.
- Natalie Hurley: New England Revolution.
- Kim: Tampa Bay Mutiny.
- Natalie Hurley: D.C. United.
- Dave: Chicago Fire.
- Natalie Hurley: Colorado Rapids.
- Chris: Dallas Burn.
- Natalie Hurley: Kansas City Wizards.
- Will: Los Angeles Galaxy.
- Natalie Hurley: And the New York/New Jersey Metro-Stars.
- Dan Rydell: You all just made that up, didn't you?
- Casey McCall: You got smoked.
- Dan Rydell: Newport's gonna put up a challenge, New Zealand and Australia each have new keels, and Japan's looking for an American tactician, maybe even a whole new after guard. Now, interestingly, Italy has developed a new 140% Genoa, but the IRC says it may not meet specs because of a bolt in the back step.
- Dana Whitaker: Honest to God, I have no idea what sport you're talking about.
- Casey McCall: Dan's talkin' about the rough-and-tumble, livin'-the-razor's-edge, run-till-you-drop, never-say-die world of offshore yacht racing.
- Dan Rydell: Greatest sport in the world, Dana. Greatest sport - great for kids.
- Natalie Hurley: All you need is forty million dollars and a dream.
- Dana Whitaker: Dave, Chris, Will, what are you guys doing tomorrow morning at ten?
- Dave: Gotta basketball game at the "Y".
- Will: Yeah, it's a 3-on-3 with the guys from...
- Dana Whitaker: Dave, Chris, Will, what are you guys doing tomorrow morning at ten?
- Chris: Fixing the sound system?
- Dana Whitaker: There ya go.
