Quotes 

  • Dani Santino : No matter who you are, no matter how much protective gear you wear, at some point, you're gonna get the living crap kicked out of you.

  • 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.

  • Dani Santino : [to Lindsay]  I am not playing with you. You ruin my days and I will ruin your nights.

    Lindsay Santino : Loud and clear, Mom. I get it.

    Dani Santino : No, I don't think you do. You miss another class this semester and you will be grounded forever.

    Lindsay Santino : What if I have a 105-degree fever?

    Dani Santino : Then I will pack you in ice and drive you there myself.

  • Terrence King : [to Dani]  You're supposed to be helping me and I got to tell you, Doc, you're doing a pretty crappy job at it.

    Dani Santino : Unless you trust me, I can't help you.

    Terrence King : Trust you? Now, why the hell would I trust you?

    Dani Santino : Who do you trust? Your parents?

    Terrence King : My mother OD'd when I was 8 years old and my father put me into foster care. I was a throwaway. You got no idea what that's like.

    Dani Santino : Losing your mom at such a young age. Tell me what that was like.

    Terrence King : You know what? What the hell does this have to do with anything, huh? Bringing up that ghost? How does that help me?

    Dani Santino : You have so much anger and so much pain, Terrance. I'm just trying to get a fix on where it's coming from.

    Terrence King : I'm trying to tell you where it's coming from. It comes from people always wanting a piece of you, hating on you for no reason. Every time I fail, on or off the field, it's front-page news, and constantly being reminded that you're on a short leash! That makes me angry! You know, and coming here and talking to some bony-ass Dr. Phil wannabe in her little perfect house with her perfect family, and I got to talk about my dead mother? That pisses me off too!

    Dani Santino : Terrence, if you care at all about your career, do not walk out the door!

    Terrence King : I will trash my career if i I want to! I will trash your whole damn office if I want to!

    Dani Santino : That's fine. You know what? Can you just tear down this wall, too? Because I've been thinking about expanding for a while.

    Terrence King : You know what, bitch? Maybe you ain't read the papers lately, but they're talking about T.K.'s crazy, T.K. can't control himself. Now what makes you think that I won't go T.K. on you, take your cell phone and turn it off on your head?

    Dani Santino : The way I see it, you've got millions and I've got zip. You hit my bony ass, and I've got millions and you've got zip. I don't scare easily, Terrence, and I do not give up.

  • 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!

  • Dani Santino : [to Ray]  I don't want your money. I don't need your money, but if you try to take my kids and I will kill you.

  • Dani Santino : Terrence King, I dragged my so-called bony ass out of bed and left my kids home with a tattooed man named Xeno who is probably scaring the crap out of them right about now!

  • Dani Santino : [to Ray Jay]  What are you, the town crier? You blabbing my business to everybody?

    Ray Santino Jr. : Well, teenagers feel a loss of support as a result of divorce and turn outwards to fill that gap.

    Dani Santino : Please stop reading my psychology books, okay, because you definitely don't understand them!

  • Angela : [to Dani]  I knew Terrence King would be too much for you. Look at you, throwing your daughter around by the bra straps now.

    Dani Santino : You're lecturing me about raising kids? You used to whack me with a wooden spoon, Ma. The same wooden spoon that you were using to stir the marinara sauce with.

  • Dani Santino : My name is Dr. Dani Santino. And I am not a hooker, im a therapist.

    Terrence King : Say what?
