Quotes

Calvin Trager : Anybody who can't make money off Sports Night should get out of the money-making business.

The Stranger : Do you feel responsible for the show failing?
Dana Whitaker : The show didn't fail. The man I work for, a guy named Isaac Jaffee... he took a chance on me, and I didn't rise to meet his... expectations. And there are people who work for me who needed me to be a better field captain. The *show* didn't fail. But I do feel responsible, and that's gonna have to be all right with you.
The Stranger : You know what would make you feel better right now?
Dana Whitaker : Really, nothing.
The Stranger : You don't want to hear what I think would make you feel better?
Dana Whitaker : I really don't.
The Stranger : In the three day history of our relationship, have I been wrong about anything?
Dana Whitaker : Look...
The Stranger : Dana, I'm what the world considers to be a phenomenally succesful man, and I've failed much more than I've succeeded. And each time I fail, I get my people together, and I say, "Where are we going?" And it starts to get better.
