Jay Quote #1344
Quote from Jay in A Sketchy Area
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
Jay: Does anybody else find that [ping pong game] distracting?
Mia: Actually, it's great for left-brain stimulation.
Claire: I got winner!
Mia: We don't keep score.
Claire: No?
Man: [muffled] Watch out!
Jay: What the hell?!
Nick: You don't know about Zorbing? It promotes mind/body balance. It's kind of like the German version of Flerming.
Jay: Okay, that's it. Now, I'm about to introduce you squids to a little thing called back-breaking, soul-crushing hard work. How many heart attacks have you had here in the last five years? Zero? Where am I?! America loves closets, and I'm here to build them, damn it! And you get this [ping pong ball] back when I see people pull up in the morning crying in their cars.
Quote from Gloria
Alex: Okay, I've been feeling some pressure about what to do after I graduate this year, and my parents are constantly asking me about it.
Gloria: I thought that you were going to work.
Alex: So did I, but lately, I've been questioning everything. I even thought about becoming a fellow.
Gloria: [gasps] Ay, Alex, that's a big change. But at least you get to keep the same name.
Alex: I'm not even sure it's what I really want.
Gloria: Okay, you have to be very sure, because I heard it's even harder to reverse it.
Quote from Claire
Claire: [aside to camera] Just as I feared, my dad had crushed the spirit of everyone in that office. I had to do something to prove we weren't some stuffy killjoys. It was time to bust out Party Claire. [chuckles] She'd retired after spring break '89. [sniffs] And again in '92.
