Sports Night1998

Dan Rydell:
You did remember me later, but then you didn't want to go out with me anyway.

Rebecca Wells:
That's right.

Dan Rydell:
"Because sports casters are self-absorbed, narrow-minded people of limited intelligence and limitless ego."

Rebecca Wells:
That's right.

Dan Rydell:
Let me tell you something - first of all, I'm a sports *anchor*, not a sportscaster. Second of all, you married a jerk. I know about Steve Cisco. Everybody knows about Steve Cisco. Sister, you married a loser. And the fact that you think that that man's low-grade brand of manhood is any way indicative of my profession is beneath your obvious intelligence and class. What guys like that do to women like you makes me absolutely crazy. I knew I recognized you. Will you look at this? You're working late, I have a show to do in ten minutes just twelve stories up. There's no earthly reason why you shouldn't be having dinner with me after the show. It'd be midnight, and we'd go to a great place, and I'd ask you about your day because I genuinely do care about your day. And I'd be funny and you'd have a good time. And when I took you home at like 3am, and I tried to kiss you goodnight, and I think I'd be successful. In fact, I know it. And I can't believe none of that's ever gonna happen 'cause once there was a time you married an idiot. I've gotta get back to my job, which, rest assured, I do considerably better than Steve Cisco.
