- Eric Hartman: [the director is frustrated when Anne asks how she should play her death scene] Trust me... dying's easy! Living is hard.
- Eric Hartman: [Gayle is being difficult and is telling the director how she wants to quit the picture] "I, I, I"... everything for Gayle, the hell with everyone else!
- Eric Hartman: [angrily grabs her] Listen, baby, what you're pulling might have worked in the studios ten years ago, but not here, and not now, and sure as hell not on *my* picture!
- Gayle Dorian: Eric, you're hurting me!
- Eric Hartman: [unhands her, calms down] Okay, go on, leave. But you're walking, all right. And when you get there you're gonna' find just how tough it is for a middle-aged beauty queen to get a job in the acting profession... or even in the profession I first found you in.
- Eric Hartman: I'll expect you on the set in ten minutes - in your wardrobe!
- [walks out; Gayle breaks down, sobbing]
