Quote from Sam

Rebecca: Sam, I didn't want to have to tell you this, but now I have to.
Sam: All right, all right, what do you got? No, I actually did want to have to tell you this, but I wanted to enjoy it, and now you've ruined that, and I have to tell you anyway.
Rebecca: You're not gonna be here next month.
Sam: What do you mean?
Rebecca: Malone, you're a ringer. [gasps] Ooh, I did like doing it a little bit.
Sam: Wh- What do you mean, ringer?
Rebecca: I mean that Evan just hired you to win the championship. And when that's over, you're history.
Sam: Oh, boy. I should have expected this.
Rebecca: Sam, it's just the way of the business world.
Sam: No, no, no, no. I mean, that you are jealous. How petty of you. I can't believe this. You know, the fact that I played baseball has nothing to do with this job. I am a good executive. And, you know, you are way off base, and I'm gonna prove it to you. Mimi, get- Get Mr. Drake on the phone right away.
Mimi: [over intercom] Right away, Mr. Malone.
Rebecca: Sam, you don't have to do this.
