Megan Hilty: Ivy Lynn

Quotes 

• Ivy Lynn : I've... actually been thinking about you a lot lately... because I can't stop comparing myself to you.

  [shakes her head] 

  Ivy Lynn : All those reviewers loved you in Boston.

  Karen Cartwright : Well, they're gonna love you too.

  Ivy Lynn : You don't know that.

  Karen Cartwright : Yeah, I do. Ivy... no one could have been better than you tonight. Not me, not anyone, not even Marilyn Monroe herself.

  [sighs] 

  Karen Cartwright : I was so jealous of you tonight. I almost left at intermission.

  [scoffs] 

  Ivy Lynn : Why didn't you?

  Karen Cartwright : 'Cause I... I wanted to watch you... sing Don't Forget Me.

  Ivy Lynn : Wait. You were jealous?

  Karen Cartwright : [laughs]  Don't rub it in.

  Ivy Lynn : [laughs]  The magical Karen Cartwright? You do some tiny show at the Fringe Festival, and suddenly it's the can't-miss event of the season.

  [chuckles] 

  Ivy Lynn : It took me eight Broadway shows to get here.

  Karen Cartwright : Yeah, well, I haven't done one yet, so...

  Ivy Lynn : Well, you will. Just not this season, okay?

  Karen Cartwright : [chuckles]  Okay. Deal.
