Quotes 

• Dan Rydell : It's not time to dally with Sally.

  Casey McCall : Dan.

  Dan Rydell : That was an unfortunate rhyme.

• Casey McCall : What's your problem with Sally?

  Dan Rydell : Look at her. I don't think she's of this world.

  Casey McCall : You don't think she's of this world?

  Dan Rydell : I do not.

  Casey McCall : What world do you think she's of?

  Dan Rydell : She scares me. She's too good looking. Nobody's *that* good looking. I'm not that good looking.

  Casey McCall : Do you really think she was flirting with me?

  Dan Rydell : Her beauty comes from a very strange place. Have you noticed that?

  Casey McCall : The places her beauty comes from weren't that strange to me. I can identify almost all of them.

  Dan Rydell : Don't do it Casey. She's got an agenda.

  Casey McCall : You think she wants a job on "Sports Night"?

  Dan Rydell : No, I think she wants to rule all of Metropolis.

  Casey McCall : You see the job she does on "West Coast Update." She's a very skilled producer.

  Dan Rydell : Of course she's skilled. She's Satan's handmaiden!

  Casey McCall : She's not Satan's handmaiden.

  Dan Rydell : On the entire planet, have you ever seen anyone with eyes like that? Huh? She's a Stepford producer!

  Casey McCall : I say she's a very nice person.

  Dan Rydell : I say she has no reflection!

• Dan Rydell : This is science fiction. I'm all alone on this. I stand completely alone. Sally is an alien. Do you understand me? At night, she peels off her body and lives on Steve Guttenberg's boat.

• Isaac Jaffe : While we do have many shows on this network, and there's nothing wrong with a little healthy competition, we are all a team here, and we will treat each other with respect.

  Sally Sasser : I think I speak for everyone on the 2 A.M. when I say that we have nothing but respect and admiration for each and every person at Sports Night.

  Dan Rydell : He's talking about you, ya freak...

  Isaac Jaffe : Thank you, Daniel.

• Dan Rydell : You could be having sex with Yoko Ono right now!
