Goodenow: "I thought you beat the inevitability of death to death just a little bit".
Bettman: "Disappointing you is getting me down".

This could be a thread in itself - Hip lyrics that fit this 'negotiation' travesty.

My two:

Bettman, referring to Goodenow: "He said, 'fuck this' and 'fuck that'"
In general: "Fantastic gap common space"
