Bat Quotes

I had a bat mitzvah, was confirmed, went to Jewish summer camp, I go to temple for the High Holy Days. I think, like most people in their early 20s, I kind of strayed away from it. I think once I have a family I'll be back into it.
Lizzy Caplan

Family, Away, Once

Great, After, Off

There are certain things I can't do, certain pitches I can't hit. You stay away from them. You try to wait for pitches you can hit. The bat speed isn't what it used to be.

Chili Davis

Hard, Try, Working

Friends, Though, Kid

Movies don't sit in the theaters for an entire summer like they did in 1982. Now you've got a two- or three-week shelf life so you need to have that awareness right off the bat. And in order to make a lot of people know about your movie, you need to be out there banging the drum and showing your stuff.
Joseph Kosinski

Life, Movies, Off

Enough, Play, Else

Gotye

Home, Girl, Down
