Quote from Coach in One for the Book

Coach: Sam, I got this one. Buzz. Buzz, I'm the fella you talked to this morning. I didn't recognize the uniform on the telephone. Come on. Let me show you the back room. It's in the back here. In the back.
Sam: I'm sorry about that. Can I get you something to drink back there?
Buzz Crowder: Oh, no, I don't drink. But keep plenty for the others. We got a lotta catching up to do. We meet in this bar every ten years to reminisce.

Buzz Crowder: Oh, the First World War, of course.
Coach: Is that the one with Clark Gable or Gary Cooper?

Cliff: I can see it's a good thing I showed up tonight. Basketball was invented thousands of years ago by the Mayans. They played it for centuries.
Man: Is that true?
Norm: Sure.
Cliff: Watch me get the Coach on this one. Coach, I got a question for you. Who invented basketball?
Coach: The Mayans.
Norm: Way to go, Coach.
Cliff: Where did you hear that?
Coach: Well, how should I know? There must've been a Mayan in here bragging about it.
