- Jeremy Goodwin: Natalie, listen to me. You've lost a lot of money to me tonight. You're basically gonna be living the rest of your life on a charitable grant from the Jeremy Goodwin Foundation. Take the hundred bucks back and fold.
- Natalie Hurley: Scared?
- Jeremy Goodwin: I've got a straight, you've got three sevens.
- Natalie Hurley: You don't have a straight.
- Jeremy Goodwin: Look at me. I'm not lying to you. I have a straight.
- Natalie Hurley: How do you know I don't have a big house?
- Jeremy Goodwin: A FULL house. Dan already folded the six you needed, and I have the other one. You don't have a house of any sort, you don't have a pup tent. You've got trip sevens, and I have a straight. I want you to trust me right now. I want you to say to yourself, yeah, I've dated a string of jerks in my life, they were stupid, they were mean to me, but maybe this one's different. Maybe I should take a chance and not adopt the break-up-with-him-before-he-breaks-my-heart strategy. I want you to remember that when I started liking you, I didn't stop liking tennis. And I want you to know that I don't think there's a woman in the world that you need to be threatened by, no matter how glamorous you think she is. But mostly, I want you to trust me, just once, when I tell you that you have three sevens, and I have a straight.
- Dan Rydell: Either of you interested in participating in the sport of kings?
- Dana Whitaker: We're gonna race horses?
- Dan Rydell: We're gonna play poker.
- Dana Whitaker: That's not the sport of kings.
- Dan Rydell: What's the sport of kings?
- Dana Whitaker: Racing horses.
- Dan Rydell: What's poker the sport of?
- Dana Whitaker: It's the sport of people who play poker.
- Casey McCall: [on the air] So don't adjust that dial; and, while we're gone, if any talking animals ask you to buy some tacos or beer - for God's sake, do what they tell you. You've been watching Sports Night on CSC. Have a good night.
- Dan Rydell: [Dan is "in the zone."] You know what they say?
- Casey McCall: About what?
- Dan Rydell: About money won.
- Casey McCall: [with gusto] *What* do they say?
- Dan Rydell: I don't know; I'm asking.
- Casey McCall: They say it's twice as sweet as money earned.
- Dan Rydell: How come you said, "What do they say?"
- Casey McCall: Eh, it was an alley-oop pass; I was dishing you the ball.
- Dan Rydell: [with awe] You *were*... and I completely missed it.
- Casey McCall: Eh, I was there for the put-back.
- Dan Rydell: I wouldn't have been able to do anything with it anyway...
- Casey McCall: That's right.
- Dan Rydell: ...because I didn't know the expression.
- Casey McCall: Not only that, but it was like half an hour ago, and we're still talking about it.
- Dan Rydell: [stops; Casey keeps walking] Uh-oh.
- [Casey stops, turns around, and looks at Dan]
- Casey McCall: [smugly] You're not in the zone any more, are you?
- Dan Rydell: [looks lost] Not in the zone.
- Casey McCall: Lost the zone.
- Dan Rydell: I'm down here with the rest of you!
- Casey McCall: Let's play cards. Come on!
- Natalie Hurley: [Jeremy is beating Natalie at poker] Of my entire roster of boyfriends - and it is, believe me, quite the *lengthy* list - *you* are my least favorite.
- Jeremy Goodwin: Hey, I'm just happy to be on the team.
- Casey McCall: I'm just sayin' that it's hard not to notice that the woman's body was put together by a technichian very close to God.
- Dana Whitaker: A technician close to God?
- Casey McCall: Not God himself, but certainly a high level staff person. A senior VP.
- Dan Rydell: I say double down, what do you do ?
- Casey McCall: Can we stop ?
- Dan Rydell: I say double down, what do you do ?
- Casey McCall: How do you know you're in the zone ?
- Dan Rydell: [slams deck of cards down] Cut me.
- Casey McCall: Danny, I...
- Dan Rydell: Cut the cards.
- Casey McCall: Nine.
- Dan Rydell: Jack.
- Casey McCall: Seven.
- Dan Rydell: Eight.
- Casey McCall: [pauses] Queen.
- Dan Rydell: [pauses] Ace.
- Casey McCall: Dude, you are in the zone.
- Dan Rydell: I say double down...
- Casey McCall: I double my ass down.
- Natalie Hurley: Fellas, I've got some bad news.
- Casey McCall: There's no bad news tonight, Natalie. When the show comes down Danny and I are hopping a limo, heading down the Garden State Parkway and getting off at the exit clearly marked, The Zone.
- Natalie Hurley: That's great, Casey, but all those things you just said...
- Casey McCall: Yeh.
- Natalie Hurley: Not gonna happen.
