Quotes 

• 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.

• 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 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.
