- Marjorie: Christy, as long as we've known each other, the only times you've enjoyed sex have been when there was an element of danger involved. First it was your married boss.
- Bonnie: Then that drunk pothead fireman.
- Christy: [fondly] Oh yeah, he was fun.
- Marjorie: Then with your ex-husband on your front lawn.
- Christy: It wasn't the front lawn, it was in his van, which was technically his house.
- Marjorie: That kind of behavior's okay once in a while. Back when I was running with the Black Panthers, we knocked over this bank in Oakland, this guy Jamal and I started doing it in the getaway car. An indelible ink packet exploded, my ass was blue for a month.
- Bonnie: I'm watching a sweet old lady put rolls in her purse but I just can't get past that story.
- Marjorie: That's nothing, Jamal's a senator now.
- Bonnie: I almost drank last night.
- Marjorie: What?
- Bonnie: I was at the grocery store and this woman was giving away free samples of turkey meatballs, suddenly I'm in the liquor section trying to pick between vodka and bourbon.
- Marjorie: I hear turkey goes better with *bourbon*.
- Bonnie: That's it, no lecture?
- Marjorie: What's the point? It's obvious the reason you're wanting to drink is because you're still missing Alvin.
- Bonnie: [tearing up] I have *never* been in this much pain. I think about him all the time. I think about him last thing before I go to sleep and I think about him first thing when I get up.
- Marjorie: So tell me something, Bonnie, since becoming the secretary, how often have you thought about drinking?
- Bonnie: Who has time? Between baking the brownies folding the chairs, and getting the tissues ready for Wendy. Besides, what if I relapsed? What precedent would that set?... Oh!
- Marjorie: You're welcome.
- Bonnie: I didn't say thank you.
- Marjorie: Yes you did.
- Claudia: I want you to date Gabriel.
- Christy: [Gabriel hits his head against her desk] Sorry, restless leg syndrome.
- Claudia: The sooner he meets someone else, the sooner he will marry someone else and I won't have to pay his alimony anymore.
- Christy: So, you're saying he's not good enough for you, but he's good enough for me?
- Claudia: Thanks for not making me have to say it.
