- Jim Walcott: As you know, I am converting to Judaism. Fascinating religion, with the prayer shawl and that little chutzpah you wear on the back of your head.
- Jeremy: Yamulke... it's called a Yamulke.
- Jim Walcott: Really? Then the shawl is a chutzpah.
- Jeremy: Chutzpah is "gall", Jim. Example of chutzpah. A kid goes into his parents' bedroom, torches the place. The kid is tried for murder. He throws himself on the mercy of the court because he is an orphan. That's "chutzpah".
- Jim Walcott: Fascinating language.
- George Findlay: [George and his staff of writers are trying to come up with an idea for sit-com based on the newsroom. Everyone has brought in lawyers to protect their interests, including his yes-man, Matt] I thought this was going to be worked out in good faith. What happened to good faith?
- Matt's lawyer: I'm simply protecting Matt's interests in a project that has the potential to gross $30 million.
- George's lawyer: A Canadian series about a newsroom... not likely.
