"David Greene: All I'm asking you to do is give the boy another chance. Sports is his life. You know, the thrill of victory and the agony of defeat. Ms. Tidwell: I've never known the thrill of victory."
"[Coach Greene has asked his team manager Howard to find some leverage to induce Bo Winnegar, coach of the top-ten ranked Nevada State basketball team, to play a game against his unknown Cadwallader University squad] David Greene: Howard, we got their attention! What have you got for me? [Receives a dossier in a manila folder] David Greene: Very professional; what, kind of a project? Howard: Coach, the man is as pure as Ivory snow! I checked him out from the time he was born, I tailed him for a week, I put a bug on his telephone... David Greene: What? Howard: You said he was the enemy! He has no mistress, that's for sure; no one-night-stands, no problems at home. He does have one daughter so I thought we might hire some young stud to hit on her! Not good, though. She's married, she's got three kids, she's not having any affairs. Neither is Bo's wife; I checked her out completely. You know, they have been married for thirty-five years? So I thought what I'd do is hire some hooker to hit on Bo, you know, but it would cost a few dollars, so I thought I should speak to you. David Greene: You put a bug on his phone? Howard: Yeah. You want to pay the money? David Greene: No, Howard, I don't want to pay money for any hooker! Hell, you put a bug on his phone? Howard: Yeah. You want me to keep on top of that? David Greene: Yeah, Howard, no more hookers or bugs on phones, but keep on top of it, okay? Howard: I have some other things... David Greene: Yeah, all right. [as Howard leaves] David Greene: Howard. What's your major? Howard: Political science."
