  P.J. Franklin : [voiceover]  The history of baseball is filled with so many myths and legends that sometimes you wonder what the real stories are. Of course, sometimes a simple story can take on a life of its own.

• Mike Callahan : Uh, did Brendan put a baby in your stomach?

  P.J. Franklin : Uh-huh. She lives with my mother.

  Andy Franklin : That's who that little girl is, the one in the rock shirts with the five o'clock shadow.

• Brendan Dorff : Please forget about this.

  P.J. Franklin : Which part, the part you remember or the part you forget?

  Brendan Dorff : The part that I remember, because the part that I forget is the part that YOU remember, which shouldn't even BE a part to remember, which is why it's a part that I forget.

• P.J. Franklin : [recreating an incident in her and Brendan's past]  Bobby, you be me. I'll be Brendan. Okay?

  Bobby Newman : What's my motivation?

  P.J. Franklin : Um, you are sitting in the library with Stephanie, pretending to study, maybe even a little excited to see him again.

  Bobby Newman : Okay.

  P.J. Franklin : You're going to say, "Hi, Brendo."

  Kenny Morittori : I love live theater.

  Andy Franklin : These are great seats.

• Kenny Morittori : It's kind of fun to think of Brendo being a total dick.

  P.J. Franklin : Thank you.

  Mike Callahan : It's also fun to think that PJ made the whole thing up and is therefore pitch-a-tent-on-your-front-lawn crazy.

  Brendan Dorff : Thank you.

  Bobby Newman : Both tempting choices. I'm torn.

• P.J. Franklin : [voiceover]  Myths have a tendency to distort the truth, and sometimes you're left to ask, "What's really going on?"

• P.J. Franklin : You know it's a funny thing about your wife, Andy. It turns out she does NOT feast on human flesh.

• P.J. Franklin : [voiceover]  Myths make for nice stories, but at some point you can't blame curses or goats. You have to take responsibility for your own action.

• P.J. Franklin : [voiceover]  The thing about baseball myths is this: whether they're true or not, they sell the game of baseball; however, the real story, the truth beneath the myth, is just as important.
