- Mrs. Berg: Things have been so quiet since you left, I'm looking for you to shake things up around here.
- Coco Hernandez: Oh, I'll do my best, Mrs. Berg.
- Nathan Adler: I thought that I'd gotten too old, that I'd lost my fast ball. So I retired like an idiot, and what happens? My heart starts attacking me. Has more brains than I do.
- Nathan Adler: Just talk loud.
- Coco Hernandez: What good is it if I talk loud, if I'm not feeling anything?
- Nathan Adler: The audience isn't paying for you to feel something, they wanna feel something.
- Coco Hernandez: Mr. Adler, I'm sorry I gave you a heart attack.
- Nathan Adler: Miss Hernandez, let's get one thing straight between us: I give myself my own heart attacks, is that clear?
- [his heart monitor starts beeping louder]
- Coco Hernandez: Don't shout, the machine is beeping.
- Nathan Adler: Thank God, if it stops, I'm dead.
- Mr. Shorofsky: You know, you can be difficult yourself.
- Coco Hernandez: Me?
- Mr. Shorofsky: Oh, I seem to remember once you refused to sing for me because Mercury was in retrograde and Jupiter was ascending.
