“Shoe Money Tonight”: Memorable lines, part 1

by

As a follow-up to the recap, here is the first of three posts featuring memorable lines from the poker-themed 10th episode of Sports Night, “Shoe Money Tonight.”

Casey: Jeremy, check Natalie’s shot sheet in the 20s. She got something wrong.
Jeremy: You got something wrong?
Natalie: Yes I did, wonder boy, and after the show I’m gonna kill myself. Why don’t you go play some tennis with your friends?
Jeremy: How many times do you want me to say “I’m sorry”?
Elliot: It’s gonna be a few more times.

Isaac: I’m shrinking. But that’s not what I came to tell you.
Dana: You’re shrinking?
Isaac: Manny measured me for a new suit an hour ago. Turns out I’m shrinking.
Dana: Where?
Isaac: You want to listen to me, or you want to tell your funny jokes?
Dana: I can do both.

Casey: When the show comes down, Danny and I are hopping in a limo, heading down the Garden State Parkway, and getting off at the exit clearly maked, “The Zone.”
Natalie: That’s great, Casey, but all those things you just said?
Casey: Yeah.
Natalie: Not gonna happen.

Sally: I talk to a lot of people.
Dan: Just so long as none of them are talking back.
Sally: CNBC, MSNBC …
Dan: M-O-U-S-E …
Casey: Danny …
Dan: Oh, like she’s listening to anybody but herself.

Natalie: Sally, Camera 2’s got your butt pretty well framed, so if you wouldn’t mind stepping out of the shot …

Dana: Hey, Isaac, you in here? I can barely see you down there.
Isaac: Pretty funny coming from someone I can fire anytime I like.

Dan: Either of you interested in participating in the Sport of Kings?
Dana: We’re gonna race horses?
Dan: We’re gonna play poker.
Dana: That’s not the Sport of Kings.
Dan: What’s the Sport of Kings?
Dana: Racing horses.
Dan: What’s poker the sport of?
Dana: It’s the sport of people who play poker.

Dana: Isaac, I’m gonna bring along this material on shrinking and read it aloud as we play. Unless you think that’s gonna distract you.
Isaac: No, I just want to make sure you’ve got time to put your resume together and clean out your desk.
Dana: He’s nuts about me.

About Watching Studio60

Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip was a show about making a show -- a Friday night sketch comedy living and dying by the ratings and the buzz and the bottom line. It also turned out to be about the ways that overinflated expectations and caustic criticism can doom a TV drama. Still, if you're a fan of great acting and Aaron Sorkin's way with dialog, there's a lot to love in Studio 60's sole season. Read here to look back at the show, and look forward at what the cast and creative powers are doing now.
