Quotes 

• Coach Pat Purnell : [to Dani]  Tell me why I should hire you.

  Dani Santino : You want my credentials?

  Coach Pat Purnell : Oh, I got all that. Masters and doctorate in psychology, Hofstra University, blabbity bla.

  Dani Santino : You Googled me?

  Coach Pat Purnell : Hell, yeah. I'm not gonna turn my multi-million dollar investment over to just anyone without some due dilligence. And nothing against Hofstra, but what are you gonna do when Harvard couldn't do diddly-squat?

  Dani Santino : Here's what your Google search didn't tell you: I'm a licensed therapist, hypnotherapist and substance abuse counselor. I was accepted both by NYU and Columbia into their doctorate program, but declined because I had two small children to carpool and a husband who expected dinner on the table every night. My specialities include chicken parmesan, cognitive behavioral therapy, hypnosis and kicking my patients' butts. Beyond that, if you would like a money-back guarantee, then you should go buy a washing machine.

• Coach Pat Purnell : [to Dani]  Good luck, Doc. You're our Hail Mary.

• Coach Pat Purnell : [to Dani]  Are you always this pigheaded?

  Dani Santino : Only when it comes to protecting my clients and my children.

  [her cell phone rings] 

  Dani Santino : Now I got to take this 'cause it's my daughter's guidance counselor!
