The Cable Guy: Women are a labyrinth, my friend. Can I be frank? I don't think you listen to her. I think you tell her what she wants to hear.

Steven Kovacs: You're right. That's incredibly insightful.

The Cable Guy: I know. It was Jerry Springer's final thought on Friday's show.

The Cable Guy: Free cable is the ultimate aphrodisiac, Steven.

Steven Kovacs: I don't want you messing with my life!

[pause]

The Cable Guy: So what are you doing? Wanna catch a flick?

Steven Kovacs: Look, I appreciate you helping me out with Robin. But you have to understand. I'm going to have to work *extra* hard to not screw this relationship up again. You're a very nice guy, but I just don't have any room in my life for a new friend. Okay?

The Cable Guy: So, what are you trying to say?

Steven Kovacs: I don't want to be your friend.

[the Cable Guy makes a slam dunk and breaks the glass panel above the basket]

The Cable Guy: I love this game!

The Cable Guy: Hey, Rick! I never made a slam dunk before. Thanks for the boost.
