"If you got a baby-sitter who... and they do a good job, and the kids like it, then I think it makes the mother look bad. I dunno if this is, like, the most self-centered way I could think of it, I'm not sure. Are there the same rules with the baby-sitter as there are when you go on a date?

"I want you to know that everything is fine. We can continue to have a good relationship on the soccer-field. I want to make sure that we have a great season this year even though that's not gonna happen 'cause no one can play soccer on our team. And I realize it's a conflict of interest for me. I shouldn't be dating any of the players' moms. Except Rebecca's mom. She came to practice last night... but I'm not gonna call her. I thought about it, but then I knew what happened with your mom was wrong, and I said, 'Y'know what...' Well, I did call her, but I'm not gonna follow up on it, because that would be wrong." -Coach McGuirk

"The coach?" -Paula
"No. Brendon." -Eric
