“Shoe Money Tonight”: Memorable lines, part 1
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.
