Quotes 

• Matthew Star : [about Tony]  The only thing he's afraid of is not making the cover of Sports Illustrated.

• Matthew Star : You know Tony, if you'd put half the energy into science as you do into your mouth you wouldn't have a problem.

• Walt Shepherd : Been indulging in your passion for icecream, eh?

  Matthew Star : No, more like Pam's passions for Science Fiction films.

• Matthew Star : Look, I just want to belong. I'm tired of being an outsider. And you know what they say about teamwork and competition and all that stuff. That's good for future leaders!

  Walt Shepherd : Ah, ah, ah, just one moment. I decide what is best for this future leader.

  Matthew Star : Alright, would you agree what's good for one is good for another? Well, Prince Charles of England, when he was my age, he played soccer and rugby, he learned how to fly planes, played polo, chased girls with reckless abandon! And I'll give all that up... for football.

• Walt Shepherd : I didn't see any of the other guys controlling their passes with radar.

  Matthew Star : Shep, they had the third-string defense in there. I was getting clobbered. I had to protect myself.

  Walt Shepherd : If you ask me, it was your ego that was getting clobbered.
