this is just one of ‘em.
R: We need more weavers Bro, more weavers…

Winkin: I'm pattin' Blinkin's head for a job well-done
KD: That's nice dude, you think that is your job?
W: Well I've been watching this human work thing, those that pat heads get the most money.

KD: Something like that...

KD: Don't think so, but what are you betting?
Ralph: I got money on over/under and # of timeouts called in the first quarter.
