Quotes 

• Dana Whitaker : Name three things.

  Jeremy Goodwin : Improve their free-throw percentage...

  Natalie : Yes.

  Jeremy Goodwin : Run the floor...

  Dana Whitaker : Okay. One more.

  Jeremy Goodwin : Tell Spike Lee to sit down and shut up?

  Natalie : Excellent!

  Dana Whitaker : Well, welcome to Sports Night.

• Jeremy Goodwin : Mrs. Whitaker, I would be great at this job. You've got to believe me when I tell you I've been training my whole life for it. I've crunched stats, I've broken down film, and there wasn't a team at my high school that didn't have me for an equipment manager. I have read every box score in every newspaper that's printed in English and has a sports section, and I have seen "Sports Night" every night since your first broadcast, two years, two months, and a week ago today. Now, yes, sure, indeed. I can tell you what Ewing and Oakley are shooting from the field, and that you're not gonna stop John Starks if he squares up to the basket, and put any defensive pressure on Charlie Ward, he's gonna fold like a cheap card table, but if you're asking me for genuinely sophisticated analyses, and I sense that you are, you gotta give me some time, at least twenty minutes. Did that make any sense?
