Quotes

[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.
