Quotes

Ted: Jamie's a lot like my mom's Precious Moments figurines collection.
Ted Crimm: I have no idea what that means.
Roy: He's a fragile little bitch.

Ted: My tummy's got more knots in it than Wayne's World 1 and 2 smooshed together.

Ted: Don't sell yourself short. If anything, sell yourself tall and get it altered later.

Ted: Coaching a superstar can't be all, "How do you solve a problem like Maria?" Although, if you ask me, the n*zis were the real problem in that story. Am I right, Coach?
Coach Beard: Yeah. Come on, Mother Superior, let's have a little perspective.

Roy: I used to fancy Julie Andrews. Well, I still do, to be fair. The voice, the eyes, the way you know she'd tell you off if you'd been bad.

Dany: When I was a boy, I played in Zava boots, I slept in Zava boots, I made love for the first time to Zava boots.
Zoreaux: Think you mean "in Zava boots."
Dany: No.

Sam: Some men have a charisma that transcends orientation. Uh, Paul Newman, Idris Elba, Norm Macdonald.

Rebecca: Leslie! We do have a signed contract, don't we?
Higgins: Of course. We have an e-signature. That's legally binding... I think... I'll make a call.

Higgins: So, I just talked to legal about Zava's contract. Uh, an e-signature is legally binding. Tiny wrinkle, instead of signing his name, he signed "You're welcome."

Ted: I waited over three hours for Public Enemy to take the stage of this joint called The Cubby Bear. When a man with a giant clock around his neck is that late, it ain't about time.

Keeley: (About Daniel Day-Lewis) Did you know, that when he made Lincoln he actually texted Sally Field as Abraham Lincoln?
Rebecca: Well, that's ridiculous. Abraham Lincoln couldn't text.
Ted: Exactly. Every time he looked down at his phone, his hat would fall off.

Zava: Oh, time is a construct, like gender and many of the alphabets.

Zava: (to Ted) My leader, I am an empty vessel filled with gold. I am your rock. Mold me.
Ted: (whistles) Well, hey, if you score goals like you talk, we gonna be just fine, buddy.

Rebecca: Do you even know where you're going?
Zava: I do not!

Tish: Water? Tea? Or cocktail, perhaps?
Rebecca: Sure, I'll have a White Russian, thanks.
Tish: Oh. Yeah, I'm afraid I'm fresh out of Kahlua...
Rebecca: Ah.
Tish: ...after hosting a Big Lebowski themed birthday party for a colleague.

Tish: Shite in nin... Sh... Oh... yeah, shite in nining armor.
Rebecca: A shite in nining armor"
Trish: Does that mean something to you?
Rebecca: Yes, it does mean something to me. It means you're even more batshit crazy than I...

Arlo: Good afternoon. There is an electricity today at Nelson Road, and the cause of all this excitement goes by one name, Zava.
Chris: Like Pele, if every letter was different.

Higgins: There are more VIPs here than London Fashion Week. I assume. I don't know.

Ted: Pop quiz, hotshots. What do you get when you combine one of Hugh Jackman's finest film roles with a fancy-pants New York City getaway?
Sam: Jean Valjean Catskills?
Ted: Ooh. No. That's a great answer, Sam. How do you know about the Catskills?
Sam: Uh, Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.

Ted: Today's opponents, Wolverhampton. Full name, Wolverhampton Wanderers. Also known as the Wanderers.
Roy: No.
Coach Beard: Also known as Wolves.
Ted: Okay. So, our opponents today are the Wolverhampton Wandering Wolves.
Roy: No.
Coach Beard: Just Wolverhampton or Wolves.
Ted: Got it. So when the team known as Wolverhampton, or Wolves, is wandering around the pitch today trying to score some soccer goals, here's the game plan.

Coach Beard: All free kicks will be taken by...
Roy: Zava.
Coach Beard: All penalties...
Roy: Zava.
Coach Beard: All corners...
Roy: Anyone to Zava.

Ted: I can't find my phone. I know where it is. I left it sitting on my bathroom sink. Dang it.
Coach Beard: That's what you get for playing Tetris on the toilet.
Ted: Yeah, that and numb legs.

Rebecca: It's not for me. If I wanted to be scammed out of all my money, I'd go the old-fashioned route and become obsessively religious.

Jane: Weinstein's c0ck! Are you cheating on me?
Coach Beard: Yeah, I am... with you.
(They begin kissing madly)
Ted: Man, y'all's baggage just matches right up, don't it?

Roy: I mean, you still could be if you weren't such a pre-Madonna.
Jamie: Did you just call me a pre-Madonna?
Roy: Yeah.
Jamie: It's prima donna. Who the f*ck says "pre-Madonna"? What the f*ck does that even mean?
Roy: It means before Madonna, female vocalists didn't have to work that hard.
Jamie: Are you mad? You never heard of Tina Turner? F*cking Stevie Nicks?

Shandy: I'm Shandy. I do PR for the club. It's so great you've come down here, but don't be a dick. Show some love on your socials, yeah?
Zava: I like your confident energy. It's off-putting.

Sam: Thank you so much for coming. Honestly, it means so much to me.
Zava: Sam, tell me, where does your restaurant source its avocados from?
Sam: Ah, uh, West African cuisine doesn't typically feature a lot of avocados.
Zava: Hmm. Not yet.
