- Valerie Hogan: Hiya... What?
- David Hogan: Two hundred cars in the whole school parking lot, and they gotta steal *my* radio!
- Valerie Hogan: Oh, David - please don't tell me this. Not again. I mean, how did they get in this time? Did you leave the doors unlocked again?
- David Hogan: Of course not.
- Valerie Hogan: Oh, good. What - did they smash the windows?
- David Hogan: No. Fortunately, I left those rolled down.
- Coach Bracco: Winning isn't everything! The important thing is how quick you forget you're a loser, move on to something else.
- Valerie Hogan: You think you're special because you have talent. Right? Yeah - you have a gift. But instead of working to develop it, you're using it to slide by.
- Willie Hogan: I'm doing OK... Besides, it's my talent, isn't it?
- Valerie Hogan: Mm-hm; yeah. But, see, I've seen kids on that team that don't have half your ability, but that are really working at something that doesn't come easily to them. Those kids are gonna succeed.
- Willie Hogan: Not in soccer.
- Valerie Hogan: Maybe not - but in other things. What about you, Willie? What's your life's plan? What's the pattern for yourself? Coasting along when things are easy? Question: What happens when you are faced with something really tough?
- Willie Hogan: I thought about what you said - and I thought I'd be more comfortable on the bench, with the team, than at home on the couch.
- Willie Hogan: Mark - put some pressure on their goalie.
- Mark Hogan: OK - no problem. He sits near me in algebra. I'll just remind him that if he fails, he will not get into a good college.
