Gerald Ford actually passed away less than a month later, and on the DVD release, the line is replaced with, "It's still hurricane season, right?" edit »

Dennis: Maybe I'll, uh, pick up some Chinese.
Liz: Aww, you said "Chinese" instead of something offensive. edit »
Dennis: There's no reason to live anymore.
Liz: What happened?
Dennis: The Islanders lost tonight.
Liz: Doesn't that happen a lot?
Dennis: I knew you wouldn't understand. edit »
Frank: You sell beepers?
Dennis: I sell way of life, my friend.

Liz: Very funny, you bought a pager from Dennis. Will you take it off now, please?
Jack: I'm sorry, I can't, I'm expecting a call from 1983. edit »
Jack: Lemon, what tragedy happened in your life that you insist upon punishing yourself with all this... (looks around her office) ...mediocrity?
Liz: What, because I'm eating a turkey sub?
Jack: Your turkey sub, your clothes, the fact that a woman of your resources and position lives like some... boxcar hobo. Or maybe it's the fact that while I'm saying all this, you have a piece of lettuce stuck in your hair. edit »
