- Hopper Gibson: [in speaking of a baseball player who committed suicide] Is there a name for what he had?
- Dr. Mobley: Yeah, plenty of names, but, uh, I don't subscribe to any of those.
- Hopper Gibson: Why not?
- Dr. Mobley: Don't want to legitimatize it. This' a passing thing for you; and, you give it a name, it might wanna stick around.
- Dorothy Boyer: Worshiping these false American Idols, and people just buying into this Harry Potter syndrome, like, wanting to have a fucking lightning bolt on their forehead - do you really believe in any of that? - because nobody is more special than anybody else.
- June Epland: If you only do what comes easy to you, what you're good at, you are just an untrained thoroughbred, which isn't a race horse at all. It is a wild animal.
- Hopper Sr.: What's-what's rule number one?
- Hopper Gibson: Never show emotion on the mound.
- Hopper Sr.: Mm-hm. And what do we do when you break a rule during a game? Whadda we do?
- [silence]
- Hopper Sr.: What the f...
- [throws a beer can, hitting the side of Hop's face]
- Hopper Sr.: Huh? WHAT DO WE DO? Huh? What do we do?
- Hopper Gibson: [quietly with blood trickling from above his temple] We run wind sprints.
- Hopper Sr.: That's right. Now get your ass outside.
- Hopper Sr.: All right, Susan, but I'm still your fucking husband, right? I've been gettin' a lot of the bullshit whiny card, none of the soft stuff.
- Dr. Mobley: We can make things be the way we want them to be in our head... so the pain isn't too much... and that's very different from lying.
- Hopper Gibson: My dad always told me, "No emotions on the mound."
- Dr. Mobley: So you can't show emotion on the mound.
- Hopper Gibson: No.
- Dr. Mobley: Were you, uh, allowed to show emotion OFF the mound?
- Hopper Gibson: I was NEVER off the mound. I was taught you're ALWAYS on the mound.
- Dr. Mobley: Right.
- Hopper Gibson: ALWAYS on the mound. You're always supposed to outfox your opponent, you know?
- Dr. Mobley: Your "opponent."
- Hopper Gibson: Your opponent, yeah.
- Dr. Mobley: Who's... who's the opponent off the mound?
- Hopper Gibson: Everyone. Everyone outside of your family. Yeah.
- Dr. Mobley: Must be pretty hard to talk to me, then.
- Rachel Cullum: You give good quote. That shit about the geese is nice stuff.
- Hopper Gibson: I'm glad you think so. You have enough so you don't have to tag-along anymore?
- Rachel Cullum: It's only a good quote today. Tomorrow they'll wrap a fish in it. I'll have to come back for more - fresh. Sorry. It's exhausting for me, too. Takes a lot of medicine to keep up this pace. I'm on the Redbull, heavy. After this, I have to go on Twitter and think of something charming, slash, cutting, slash, provocative, slash, sexy, slash, informative to tweet and then condense it into a pithy anecdotal while making sure not to go over the heads of feeble-minded frat boys. It's a fairly fucking relentless grind.
- Hopper Gibson: Yeah, I noticed that.
