I finished rewatching Sports Night -- good show! From the finale, "Quo Vadimus" (2.22):


[On air]

Casey: ...with revenge on their minds they welcome the Tigers to the house that Ruth built this evening.

Dan: Excuse me, Casey, but Ruth didn't build the house this evening, did he?

Casey: No, Dan, and thank you very much for correcting my every mistake no matter how small, oh these many years.

Dan: What are friends for?

Casey: Annoying the hell out of you?

Dan: Exactly.

From "Eli's Coming" (1.19):


Dana: Listen, Isaac's gonna want to show us pictures from his vacation, so I'm gonna get a "welcome back" cake and we'll have a little party in his office tomorrow.

Casey: What kind of cake?

Dana: What kind of cake?

Casey: Yes.

Dana: I don't know, Casey, why do you ask?

Casey: I'm particular about cake. And I have to say, it's been my experience that men buy better cake than women. I've found that women tend to get these yogurt-frosted low-cal things laced with a rum and fruit concoction that make eating cake into something you do to be polite. So that's why I was asking what kind of cake you were planning on getting to celebrate Isaac returning from vacation.

Dana: Wow. I didn't know you felt so strongly about it. But now that I do, I guess the answer is "whatever cake I damn please."

Casey: Excellent.

From "The Six Southern Gentlemen of Tennessee" (1.11):


Isaac: Danny, I need to talk to you.

Dan: Good, 'cause I need to talk to you too. Who should go first?

Isaac: Since I don't really care what you have to say, I think it should be me.

From "The Apology" (1.02):


Casey: There is a perception in the press, never clearer than in this article, that I'm not cool. Now, where do you think this perception comes from?

Dana: I think it comes from reality.

From "Kyle Whitaker's Got Two Sacks" (2.07):

From "And The Crowd Goes Wild" (2.14):


Casey: I'm a little scared of getting trapped in a fire.

Dan: I understand.

Casey: Would you help me to safety?

Dan: If there wasn't anything else better to do.

Casey: Like what?

Dan: Save myself.

From "Draft Day, Part Two: The Fall of Ryan O'Brian" (2.18):


Casey: I'm sorry.

Dan: Yeah?

Casey: I'm very sorry.

Dan: I don't think you are.

Casey: I am. In fact, I'm so sorry it's almost hard for me to think of different ways to say "bite me."

Dan: No one.

Casey: Damn straight!
