• Coach Bombay : [to Jan]  Hans couldn't make it?

  Jan : Now don't get me started with that strudel-head. He went back to the old country. He wanted to see our mother. She loved him more, you know.

• Jan : I see you met my new apprentice.

  Charlie : Jan told me you did this job when you were my age.

  Coach Bombay : That's right, and I hope he pays you more than he paid me.

  Charlie : You got paid?

  Jan : Eat, everybody, before the hasenpfeffer gets cold.

• Jan : Gordon, when I told the Goodwill committee who you were, I did not talk to them about your good looks. I didn't tell them you would win at any cost. I told them you were a man who loves the game. And I told them you were a man who could teach the kids... about more than just about winning or losing. I told them you were the Minnesota Miracle Man, and only you could teach them to fly. So be that man. Be that man, Gordon.

• Coach Bombay : Well, coaching the Ducks was one of the best things in my life, but I can't make a living coaching Pee Wee hockey.

  Jan : Where there's a way, there must be a will. My hockey suppliers tell me Team U.S.A. is still without a coach for the Junior Goodwill Games.

  Coach Bombay : Sounds great. Give 'em a call for me, Jan. Maybe I can sharpen their skates.

  Jan : Don't knock skate sharpening.

  Coach Bombay : I know. It's a great skill, Jan, but i don't want to spend the rest of my life sharpening skates in this rinky-dink town. I want something better. Something bigger.

• Jan : [to Gordon]  Who was that man in the suit with the wet hair? Was it raining?

  Coach Bombay : It's a style, Jan.

  Jan : You looked like you just got out of the shower.

  Coach Bombay : You came 2,000 miles to make fun of me? You could have done this over the phone.

• Jan : [to Gordon]  So what's your plan? Have you talked to Ducksworth?

  Coach Bombay : No, no. I'm not a lawyer, Jan, I'm a player.

  Jan : But your injury, it requires rest and time.

  Coach Bombay : Yeah, time is something I don't have a whole lot of. I was this close to the NHL, Jan. I was back in the game and, man, I was alive.
