Quote from Coach

Jess: Um, anyway, uh, how did this start?
Coach: Uh, fine. A couple of weeks ago I got a cut. And I went to the nurse.
Jess: Okay.
Coach: And when I saw her, I was like, "damn."
Ruth: And I was, like, "you frickin' got a cut."
Coach: And I was like, "you frickin' better fix it." And she was like, "no. Cuts are gross."
Ruth: Yeah.
Coach: And then we had sex.
Ruth: Yeah.
Jess: That's disturbing on so many levels.

Quote from Coach

Jess: Um, I'm sorry, but your outfit looks like you got it at a Halloween store.

Coach: Well, that's what I actually wanted to talk to you about. 'Cause, uh, we hadn't...

Coach: Ah, come on. Yeah?
Ruth: I thought you ditched this bitch.
Rose: I will send your weave right back to the loom!

Quote from Winston

Nick: Winston, uh... Who's this Gal Judy? I've never heard of her. She called twice. Who is this woman?
Winston: [chuckles] She's nobody.
Nick: Doesn't sound like nobody. Where'd you guys meet?
Winston: At the driving range.
Nick: The driving range? But you don't golf.
Winston: Uh, I like to watch?
Nick: Winston, you go to the driving range just to watch?
Winston: Yeah.
Nick: Very strange, very strange. Let's get back to this Judy character, because I am interested. You made love to her yet?
Winston: I don't know. Leave me alone, dude. Honestly, stop. That's not even a big d... I don't even like her that much, all right? Just, ugh. I'm probably gonna dump her.
