Conor O'Neill: I want you guys to take a good look at yourselves and feel proud. We made it here. We're here. What I've learned from you is that really one of the most important things in life is showing up. I'm blown away by your ability to show up through everything that's gone on. The league never wanted you to play this game, but you showed up. But, uh, we only have eight players so, we can't play.
Elizabeth Wilkes: So you work for Smith and Stevens Securities?
Conor O'Neill: Yes.
Elizabeth Wilkes: What deal did you blow?
Conor O'Neill: What?
Elizabeth Wilkes: Well, I'm sure you're not coaching this team by choice.
Conor O' Neill: I love it when you call me big poppa.
Jamal: So we go to the 'ship right?
Conor O'Neill: Yeah, we could.
Kofi: You suck... just like my girlfriend.
Conor O'Neill: What? Since you can't talk shit, you got nothing to say?
Raymond 'Ray Ray' Bennet: Coach Conor? You're not really trying to get Ms. Wilkes, are you?
Conor O'Neill: No.
Raymond 'Ray Ray' Bennet: Good. 'Cause I already tried and she ain't havin' it.
G-Baby: Yeah, me too.
Raymond 'Ray Ray' Bennet 's mother: Miss Wilkes said she had a good feeling about you.
Conor O'Neill: Miss Wilkes said that?
