Marvyn Korn : Hi, my name is Marvyn Korn, and I will be your new coach. I've been instructed to be direct with you, so... I am mostly a nice person. Sometimes I am not. Expect to be yelled at. Don't take it personally. If I call you stupid, I give you permission to ignore it. But if I tell you why you're stupid, then I want you to pay close attention.

Holly : Holly Barrett, Assistant Coach.
Marvyn Korn : Marvyn Korn.
Holly : It's a great honor, Coach. I'm a big fan. You have no idea.
Marvyn Korn : No, need for that.
Holly : Oh, no, I don't feel the need. We don't kiss the ring around here, if you hadn't noticed.
Marvyn Korn : Oh. So, any advice for me?
Holly : On coaching basketball?
Marvyn Korn : On coaching girls.
Holly : Uh, well, I'm tempted to say just treat them like the boys.
Marvyn Korn : But?
Holly : You didn't treat the boys so well.
Marvyn Korn : Uh-huh. Do you have any advice that might actually be helpful?
Holly : Sure. These girls are gonna lead the world someday. Some of them are a little anxious to get started. They can be a bit much. My advice would be not to take them on if you can avoid it. And don't pretend. They will see right through it. Other than that... .let's go coach some basketball.

Marvyn Korn : You. I'm sorry, are you chewing gum?
Louise Gruzinsky : Don't be sorry. Not your fault.
Marvyn Korn : What's your name?
Louise Gruzinsky : Louise. Louise Gruzinsky.
Marvyn Korn : Okay, team, while Louise Gruzinsky and I take a moment, let's start with balance. I want you all to close your eyes, lift your left knee and touch your nose with your right hand. Left knee, up. Eyes, closed. Right index finger on the nose. Do it. Do it. Now are we gonna have a problem, Louise Gruzinsky?
Louise Gruzinsky : I hope not, Coach Korn. I know you have a way of doing things, but this is Westbrook.
Marvyn Korn : Tell me.
Louise Gruzinsky : No disrespected to the geniuses you coached at Wisconsin, but we won't respond to "my way or the highway". Treat us with respect, and we'll respond in kind. This is very constructive criticism.
Marvyn Korn : Right. Thank you. I appreciate that.
Louise Gruzinsky : I hope you would. Especially since you're... kind of cute. If I'm gonna grunt and sweat five days a week for some guy, at least let him be good-looking.
Marvyn Korn : Oh, please tell me you did not just say that.
Louise Gruzinsky : I couldn't possibly have.
Marvyn Korn : Okay, team. Eyes, open. Legs, down. I want you to raise your right hand as high as you can. Right hand, raise it. Now knees bent. Good. Now I would like you all to wave goodbye to Louise Gruzinsky. She's suspended from the team.
Louise Gruzinsky : What?

Sherilyn Thomas : I told you one thing. Do not screw this up.
Marvyn Korn : She disrespected me. In fact, they all did.
Sherilyn Thomas : You had to anticipate that they would test you.
Marvyn Korn : You had to anticipate that I would make one an example.
Sherilyn Thomas : So you made one out of the star player, the one whose...
Marvyn Korn : I don't care who her father is.
Sherilyn Thomas : I do. I believe I made that clear.
Marvyn Korn : I pick and choose my players. Louise is suspended until further notice. My notice.
Sherilyn Thomas : Look at me, Korn. This is not a good start.
