- Beth: Stop it. That is so mean. She's my friend.
- Jack Cunningham: Well, she should mind her business.
- Beth: Okay.

- Marcus: What are you talking about? I'm four minutes late.
- Jack Cunningham: You know what? Forget about tomorrow. Go home, you're off the team.
- Marcus: Coach Dan, what the hell is his problem? I'm barely fucking late.
