Nora (speaking about working again): I'm sure its just like riding a bike.
Sarah: Ride off a cliff! (edit) Nora: I really want to wish you luck. You obviously have a knack for this.
Holly: I’m just an old working girl who seems to have gotten lucky.
Nora: I thought all you actresses had it easy. You have assistants to do all the mundane things for you.
Holly: Assistants? I was practically unemployable in Hollywood. I went from temp job to temp job. How do you think AI learned how to type?
Nora: I really don’t know the first thing about you, do I?
Holly: Well…who knows, maybe we’ll be friends someday.
Nora: Maybe. But not today.
(edit) Tommy: What did I say before we went in that meeting?
Nora: You told me not to speak.
Tommy: I told you not to speak. Do you have any idea why?
Nora: Because you didn’t want to be embarrassed.
Tommy: Listen, Holly being here is the price of keeping this place afloat. Mom, you…you’re just making things worse.
(edit) Senator McCallister: Alright…you ah, suggested that I was rash, that I wouldn’t have offered you a job if I knew you better.
Kitty: You wouldn’t.
Senator McCallister: What disqualifies you apart from your lack of experience?
Kitty: Isn’t that enough?
Senator McCallister: Nope.
Kitty: Well frankly I just don’t think that I know you well enough to know that I want to work with you.
Senator McCallister: Now we’re getting somewhere.
Kitty: You know, I’m sorry, really. Let me just put that another way.
Senator McCallister: No, you want to get to know me better…that’s reasonable.
Kitty: What’s the gun for?
Senator McCallister: We’re Republicans, it’s foreplay…I’m kidding.
(edit) Kitty: Oh that’s right, lawyers are not made they’re born. OK fine counselor, talk.
Kevin: This is a copy of the Republican sponsored constitutional amendment to ban gay marriage which your boss voted for.
Kitty: He’s not my boss. You know what, you and I have argued about these issues for years, we have agreed to disagree a hundred times you’ve never had a problem before.
Kevin: That’s because before it was just rhetoric.
Kitty: No, it’s never been rhetoric.
Kevin: You know when people ask me, how can you let your sister spew all that right-wing garbage on television, and not disown her, I tell them it’s because I know she loves me. I know she wants what’s best for me and what’s best for this country. But the day you start working for this guy, it’s not about what you believe in anymore it’s about what he does, and there’s not one single thing in all this legislation , all these speeches that suggest he will do what’s best for me, In fact there’s a lot of evidence to the contrary. All I’m asking is that you consider that before saying yes to this offer, that’s all.
Kitty: Fine. I will.
Kevin: Really?
Kitty: Um-hmm, really. You know, why is it that this family thinks that I am incapable of rational conversation?
Kevin: Well…
Kitty: Ah-ah…court is adjourned.
