Quotes 

• Dean Buckley : You can learn a lot from ants. These Brazilian fire ants can teach you a lot about successful societal structure. Come here. You see there's one queen in there. The rest are dedicated worker ants. Everybody pulls their weight. Nobody complains. There's harmony and growth. Same here at Eden Hall, only you are the workers, the backbone.

  Russ : And you're the queen?

  [everyone snickers] 

• Dean Buckley : [to Coach Orion]  Ted. Ted. I know you're as disappointed in that tie as we are.

  Coach Orion : Actually, I'd have preferred a loss.

  Dean Buckley : You're kidding, right, Coach?

  Coach Orion : Well, you learn a hell of a lot more from losing than from winning.

  Dean Buckley : We don't have time for learning. We need to win. They could lose their scholarships.

  Coach Orion : You're kidding, right, Dean?

• Coach Orion : [When the Dean announces to the Ducks that the school is going to withdraw their scholarships]  You're dumping 'em, just like that?

  Dean Buckley : Coach, I'm sorry. Your team isn't performing and I've been under enormous pressure...

  Coach Orion : From whom? The alumni group? A bunch of aging pep clubbers?

  Dean Buckley : Ted, I'm trying to do you a favor. With those kids gone, you'll get to pick your own team. Let's face it, the Ducks are drowning.

  Coach Orion : I got my team. Either they stay or I go.

  Dean Buckley : We'll miss you, Ted.
