R: At this point in your career, you're more of a sweet kind of guy aren't you?
K: Yeah... (R: Yeah.) I think so.
G: Good change-up by Davies, 1-1.
K: Tivo guy too, love that Tivo!
R: Good change-up here from Davies, down and away.
G: I don't think our sponsors want to be hearing about you and Tivo. 1-2 to Green. But of course when you Tivo the game you *watch* the commercials.
K: Well...I speed through 'em. But I can speed, (R: You can recognize...) lip-read too. So I know what they're saying.
G: Davies working him tough and it's 2-2.
R: No one knows our advertisers better than these two people in the booth right here.

On Literature
A group of kids is shown at Shea courtesy of a kids literacy charity.
G: And their day will be complete when they get the abridged version of The Three Musketeers.
K: Yes, the abridged!
G: Which I know is your favorite book.
K: Well, actually, who was your favorite classic writer, Gary?
G: Well...classic writer...well, I don't think I was as into the classics as you were.
K: Well tell me who your favorite writer is.
G: My favorite writer was Kurt Vonnegut who just passed away.
K: Really? Okay, and your favorite book by him?
G: Slaughterhouse-Five.
K: Okay. I've always been a Victor Hugo fan. And not Les Misérables! I love the Notre-Dame de Paris, and Toilers of the Sea was just brilliant.
G: You never cease to amaze me.
