John Roselius: Coach Martz

Quotes 

• Dr. Sam Beckett : Phillip's gonna die tonight.

  Coach Martz : I thought we settled that.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Well, we did, but it-it's still gonna happen.

  Coach Martz : How do you know?

  Dr. Sam Beckett : It's kind of hard for me to explain. Look, Coach, you trusted me once. All I'm askin' is that you trust me again. For Phillip's sake.

  Coach Martz : You know, this could mean my job.

  Dr. Sam Beckett : This could mean his life.

• [after Phillip has prepared to hang himself because he is gay, the Coach tries to talk him out of it] 

  Coach Martz : You're not alone, Phillip. I know about the guilt - the shame, the fear. I spent my whole life that way. Wondering why I had to be different. Hoping that it'd just pass. Well, it's okay to be different. And the only ones we have to be afraid of are ourselves. You and Tommy made me realize that. You and I? Hey, we got nothing to be ashamed of. Now, come on down. We'll save the cops a lot of paperwork.

• Coach Martz : What happened to your eye?

  Dr. Sam Beckett : Huh? Oh. I, uh... I slipped in the bathroom and I kind of, you know, banged it on the sink.

  Coach Martz : I hope the sink's okay.
