Robert Guillaume: Isaac Jaffe

Quotes 

• 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.

• 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.
