Quote from Phil

Phil: Good afternoon, young Realtors. I have a very important announcement to make after class, but in the meantime, if you would be so kind as to open your books... [voice breaking] Oh, boy. I can't do this. Students, today is our last day together. [students murmuring] Shh, shh. I've treasured our time together. Brett, I know we got off to a rough start, but once we broke down those walls, I'm not sure who was teaching who. Whitney, you're the toughest single mother I know. Lucy, you be good to your mom. Bob, amazing how you battle that dyslexia. Maybe ease off on the anger toward your parents, though. They did you a solid giving you that name.
Bob: We're gonna miss you, Mr. Nudphy.
Phil: It's... You... You... You flipped it, but... [voice breaking] I'm gonna miss you guys, too.
Ike: Location. Location. Location.
Phil: You memorized it. Now, for the second and last time... class dismissed.

Quote from Gloria

Claire: I owe him an apology. I made a huge scene at work.
Gloria: Well, sometimes the best way to say "I'm sorry" is in an e-mail. Why don't you write him at [email protected]?

Quote from Jay

Jay: I'm not saying it's impossible. I'm saying play the odds. For example, you take this O'Shea guy.
Alex: Oh, good. We're back to him.
Jay: But he was smart. He started a business, got established. And when he couldn't kick the daredevil dream, he went for it. And he was good, real good, until that fateful day he tried to jump over a motorcycle in a school bus. Fortunately for him, unlike his act, he had a safety net.
Alex: His business.
Jay: Jumped right back in. Within a year, it was bigger than ever. The point is, you've been on the science track for 15 years. See it through. Build a foundation. If in a couple of years, you still have the singing bug, go for it!

Quote from Jay

Alex: I guess you're right. It would be pretty dumb of me to give up on the career path I'm on. I could make half a mil my first year out of school.
Jay: Wow! What do they pay men?
Alex: So, Danger never did another stunt again?
Jay: He still brings that maverick spirit to everything he does, which is why he got to the top of his industry. Some people think it's the greatest stunt he ever pulled off.
Alex: [scoffs] Thanks for the talk, Danger.

Quote from Luke

Phil: What do you say we practice that lineout lift one last time? And...
Luke: I got to go. I don't want to be late for women's studies. That's what I call my lunch break.

Quote from Phil

Phil: As you can see from this graph, it's not about X's and Y's. It's about oohs and ahs.
[later:]
Phil: Mm. Okay. So, what does real estate equal? 80%... eye contact.

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: All right. Your breakfast is almost ready. You're gonna need all your energy for the courtroom today in case you have to yell, "I'm out of order? You're out of order. The whole damn system's out of order!"
Mitchell: Might not do that. I think I'm winning, so big fan of the system right now.

Quote from Jay

Claire: I'm sorry. Am I late?
Nick: No, no, no, no. Oh. And we're not real time sticklers here. We've found that team members really excel when they follow their own energy rhythms.
Claire: Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.
Jay: Interesting, 'cause I've found team members are happiest when the company stays in business, which means asses in chairs by 9:00.

Quote from Cameron

Mitchell: Okay, must you?
Cameron: You know what, we are gonna make sure that sketch artist sees the best possible version of you. Let's get those apples a-shining!
Mitchell: Okay, okay, stop. Don't!
Cameron: Okay, your face gets weird when you make that "O" sound, so avoid that.
Mitchell: A-Are you serious? The defendant runs the Orange County Oceanic and Ornithological Organization.
Cameron: That was hard to watch.

Quote from Cameron

Cameron: Mitchell. Mitchell. He's here. Only give him your best side. Avoid the fluorescent lights, no O's, and whatever you do, do not stand next to the bailiff. He is breathtaking!
Mitchell: Oh, my God.
