Quotes 

• Monica Brazelton : Excuse me, Mr McCall.

  Casey McCall : Yeah.

  Monica Brazelton : I'm sorry. Is this a bad time ?

  Casey McCall : For what ?

  Monica Brazelton : I'd like to ask you a question, but if you're preparing the show, if this is a bad time, I can come back.

  Casey McCall : What's your question ?

  Monica Brazelton : What's my name ?

  Casey McCall : What's your name ?

  Monica Brazelton : Yes.

  Casey McCall : Uh. What are we doing right now ?

  Monica Brazelton : If this is a bad time I can just come...

  Casey McCall : I'm sorry. I'm not very good at remembering names.

  Monica Brazelton : Who was the number two man on the Boston Red Sox staff in 1977 ?

  Casey McCall : That was Ferguson Jenkins.

  Monica Brazelton : My name is Monica. I'm the assistant wardrobe supervisor for Sports Night as well as two other shows here at CSC. I think you hurt the feelings of the woman I work for. Her name is Maureen and she's been working here since the day you started.

  Casey McCall : I know Maureen.

  Monica Brazelton : Can I ask you another question ?

  Casey McCall : I'm sorry I didn't know your name.

  Monica Brazelton : Do you know what color this is ?

  Casey McCall : It's grey.

  Monica Brazelton : It's called gun-metal. Grey has more ivory in it, gun-metal has more blue. Can you tell me which if these shirts you should wear it with ?

  Casey McCall : I dunno.

  Monica Brazelton : No you don't. There's no reason why you should. You're not expected to know what shirt goes with what suit or how a color and a neck tie can pick up your eyes. You're not expected to know what's going to clash with what Dan's wearing or what pattern's going to bleed when Dave changes the lighting. Mr McCall, you get so much attention and so much praise for what you actually do and all of it's deserved. When you go on a talk show and get complimented on something you didn't, how hard would it be to say, "That's not me. That's a woman named Maureen who's been working for us since the first day. It's Maureen who dresses me every night and without Maureen I wouldn't know gun-metal from a hole in the ground." Do you have any idea what that would have meant to her ? Do you have any idea how many time sshe would have played that tape for her husband and her kids ? I know this is when it starts to get busy for you. I hope I didn't take up too much of your time. Please don't tell Maureen I spoke to you. She would be pretty mad at me.

  Casey McCall : I won't. Monica.
