Quotes

Dana Whitaker : Okay, Dan, here's the thing. You're gonna be 15 seconds short on the Bucks/Pacers game. I have two options for you. Option one is that the attendance at the game, 11,323, turns out to be exactly the same as the population of...
Jeremy Goodwin : Hoisington, Kansas.
Dana Whitaker : Hoisington, Kansas.
Dan Rydell : And option two?
Dana Whitaker : Talk slower.

Jeremy Goodwin : If you freeze frame this shot right here, and lose the Pepsi sign, you spot shadow the right inside linebacker, then cut back to movement on the whole field, that works.
Natalie Hurley : Jeremy, Dana's got me thinking. When was the last time you had a good idea?
Jeremy Goodwin : It was right then.
Natalie Hurley : That's not what I mean.
Jeremy Goodwin : It was a good idea.
Natalie Hurley : I was talking on a grander scale.
Jeremy Goodwin : I see.
Natalie Hurley : I mean a good idea on the grand scale of human experience.
Jeremy Goodwin : Yes.
Natalie Hurley : When was the last time you had one?
Jeremy Goodwin : A good idea on the grand scale of human experience.
Natalie Hurley : Yes.
Jeremy Goodwin : You understand I'm saying we spot shadow the inside linebacker?
Natalie Hurley : Yes.
Jeremy Goodwin : That doesn't count?
Natalie Hurley : I feel like a freeloader sometimes, leaving the good ideas up to other people. I feel like I'm standing on the shoulders of generations past. Do you know what I mean?
Jeremy Goodwin : Yes.
Natalie Hurley : Really?
Jeremy Goodwin : My grandfather invented the clipboard.
Natalie Hurley : Did he?
Jeremy Goodwin : Well, he didn't invent it, but he always use to complain that he didn't have a portable writing surface.
Natalie Hurley : ...I don't think you're getting it.
Jeremy Goodwin : Yeah, I don't think so.

Jeremy Goodwin : [Casey attempts to show Jeremy video footage of a fly in the studio] Well, why don't I just tell everybody that I saw the fly?
Casey McCall : This isn't in my head.
Jeremy Goodwin : Of course it's not.
Casey McCall : No seriously.
Jeremy Goodwin : I know.
Casey McCall : There's a fly in there.
Jeremy Goodwin : Maybe he only makes himself visible to you.
Casey McCall : He only makes himself visible to me?
Jeremy Goodwin : Like the rabbit in 'Harvey.'
Casey McCall : No, this isn't like the rabbit in 'Harvey'.
Jeremy Goodwin : Of course not.
Casey McCall : No, seriously.
Jeremy Goodwin : I know.
Casey McCall : Jeremy...
Jeremy Goodwin : I'm just saying whether it's there you're not, you're making me believe it's there.
Casey McCall : It's there.
Jeremy Goodwin : I believe it.

Natalie Hurley : I am certain, beyond any doubt, that if Dana and Casey got together as a couple, they would both be very happy. I think that's a good idea.
Jeremy Goodwin : That is a virtuous idea.
Natalie Hurley : You don't think it's a good idea?
Jeremy Goodwin : Well, I'm not really one to...
Natalie Hurley : Tell me what you think!
Jeremy Goodwin : I think it's a bad idea.
Natalie Hurley : Look who's talking, you want to spot shadow the outside linebacker.
Jeremy Goodwin : Inside linebacker!
Natalie Hurley : They are meant for each other!
Jeremy Goodwin : The outside and inside linebacker?
Natalie Hurley : I meant Dana and Casey.
Jeremy Goodwin : I think the outside and inside linebacker have a better chance.
