Narrative:

Teterboro four departure was flown as published. New york approach gave direct to coate. I did not see coate in the FMS, but typed it in. I questioned the sic as to the route. He said the flight plan was correct. I asked the sic to check if the next shown fix was ewc. Center said no, it was lhy. I typed in lake henry next and asked the sic to take the controls. I reached for the flight plan (gdc) and saw a different route hand written. The sic had the correct transponder code, altitude and frequency in the boxes, but not the correct departure route. Just selected the wrong flight plan. No big turns or vectors, as I questioned the rest of the clearance.
