Quotes 

• Al Burns : Too cool for a name tag?

  Carrie Wells : Yeah. I'm too cool for a name tag. Name tags are designed to make other people feel comfortable so they can come up and talk to you. I want everyone to feel really *un*comfortable, so that they don't talk to me at all.

  Al Burns : Nice dress.

• Carrie Wells : Stop playing with your collar.

  Al Burns : This new shirt is too tight. I can't breathe.

  Carrie Wells : Can you fit your finger in there?

  Al Burns : Yeah.

  Carrie Wells : Well, then it's not too tight.

  Al Burns : What, did you memorize some "Esquire" article?

  Carrie Wells : No. Six months, assistant manager at Tuxedo World, Albuquerque, 2007.

  Al Burns : No way, come on.

  Carrie Wells : View your tuxedo as an investment, that will guide you through formal events for years to come. Shall I go on?

• Al Burns : You know, you act like you don't like these charity things Eliot invites us to, but I think secretly, you love them.

  Carrie Wells : You know what I love? Ooh...

  [a waiter passes by with a tray] 

  Carrie Wells : ...are these little sandwichy things.

• Eliot Delson : I'd like you to meet Manhattan Borough President Robert Bright.

  Robert Bright : Well, it's an honor to have you. Your boss and I go way back. Yeah, we were once called "young punks" in the mayor's office, back in the day.

  Carrie Wells : Wow, "punk" is not a word I would associate with Eliot.

  Robert Bright : I have pictures.

• Robert Bright : Listen, I'm not one to count my chickens before they hatch, but... once they do hatch, I do plan to ask them for their votes.

  Carrie Wells : Ah, where is that chamagne when you need it?

  [on cue, a server passes by] 

  Carrie Wells : Oh! There you go. Thank you.

• Al Burns : See? All done and plenty of daylight left.

  Carrie Wells : [fist-pumping]  Yes!

  Al Burns : What do you want to do?

  Carrie Wells : I don't know. How about we go get some real food?

  Al Burns : Pretzel dog from Monte's?

  Carrie Wells : A pret... really? Have you seen the way I'm dressed?

• Carrie Wells : Al, take a look at this Sterno. Something was burned in here. We should have CSU bag it.

  Al Burns : No sign of his keys, but his wallet is right here. This wasn't about money.

  Carrie Wells : Well, it was about something. There were a lot of people at the fundraiser.

  Al Burns : A lot of powerful people.

  Carrie Wells : And those powerful people are now our suspects.

• Carrie Wells : That woman.

  [remembering a waitress at the party] 

  Carrie Wells : Pam Lisotta. I know her.

  Al Burns : That's a pretty obscure blog.

  Carrie Wells : No, she was at the fundraiser. She was waitressing.

  Cherie Rollins-Murray : Well, maybe it's a second job. I mean, how much money can you make working for a political blog?

  Carrie Wells : No, I read the staff list that Bright gave us. There was no Pam Lisotta on that list. She must've come in under a different name.

  Al Burns : The question is, why?

• Carrie Wells : Eliot, what happened in 1998?

  Eliot Delson : I used to blame it on us being young. But now I'm thinking... that's just who we are. We were... interns - me, Bright, and Dave - for a, uh, senator. Doesn't matter who. He loved us. He gave us that atrocious nickname, the Three Amigos. Anyway, one night, uh, I get a call, 4:00 in the morning. He's in Hell's Kitchen and something's gone wrong. We go down and... find him in a room there with a, um... well, with a girl who had... been careless with her opiates. She fell asleep, never woke up. He didn't know what to do. We did. We made sure nobody knew he was there. And going forward, whenever we needed a favor... well, the senator was there for us.

  Al Burns : That was a long time ago.

  Eliot Delson : Doesn't seem that way to me.

• Declan Macauley : My family's had the hauling contract for Yankee Stadium going on 40 years. They gave us all a bunch of tickets to the first...

  Carrie Wells : Second.

  Declan Macauley : ...second game of the World Series. I invited Dave. He brought you along, as well.

  Eliot Delson : Yeah, but I-I never went.

  Declan Macauley : Sure, you did. There were fifteen of us. We stayed 'til the very last out. We went back to my place. Everybody remembers how excited you were.

  Carrie Wells : What else?

  Declan Macauley : It was such a special night... you kept your ticket stub.

  Eliot Delson : What a thoughtful gift.

  Al Burns : You got a pretty good memory.

  Declan Macauley : It's what I'm known for.

  Carrie Wells : That's funny. Me, too.

  Eliot Delson : Thank you.

  Declan Macauley : It's what Dave would have wanted.
