- Eric Jason: Yeah, ten thousand dollars. I turned her down. If you guys would have told me this morning...
- Carlisle: We couldn't. We had to take the chance of you giving it back to her.

- Eric Jason: Well, it looks like you backed the wrong horse.
- Carlisle: Not necessarily. There's still a choice for you. Either you can retire as an amateur, Mr. Jason, or you can take your chances with us - as a professional.
