    Eddie: Yeah, you are.

    Gene: No, no, no. I'm not. Because you haven't been to a meeting in six months and there's a system in place and that program is supposed to work in a particular way. Let me tell you who I am. I'm a guy who you invite to diners and then you spout your bullshit about what you're gonna do and then you hope that I accept it, so you don't feel guilty about your behavior.

  • [Vann talks to Gene about football]

    Vann Siegert: What happens if you get an injury?

    Gene: Coach wants us to. The problem is if we don't get injured, he thinks we're not giving 110%. You know?

    Vann Siegert: He does? That's asking a lot.
