Quotes

add »
Lucy: I believe in the truth above all else. And this...(brings the ovophagy video back up)...is truth. We have to be sharks. If we succeed, there's room for about half of you to stay. If we fail, we're all finished, including me. We have one week to prove our right to survive...or get eaten alive. (edit)
Reginald: Now has been a pillar of the American journalistic landscape for over seventy years. We survived McCarthyism...we can certainly survive a dip in sales.
Lucy: First of all, Reginald, I know how you hate a mixed metaphor, so I'm gonna have to call you on the whole "pillar of the landscape" thing. Pillars don't hold up landscapes. Secondly, thank you for your look backwards. That will be the last look in that direction that anyone in these offices ever takes.
Reginald: With due respect, I'm not gonna be part of the dismantling of an American journalistic icon.
Lucy: Of course you're not. Because, with due respect, you're fired. Now get out. And anyone else who wants to keep doing the same old tired crap, please feel free to leave. Those of you who want to do something new, do real reporting, break stories...stay. (edit)
Lucy: (talking to Brent) Nothing sells better than death. (edit)
Julia: Can I come in?
Garbo: Always. (edit)
Lucy: (yelling at Willa) I gave you the goddamn tip and you came back with dick. (edit)

Trivia

The set used during the filming of Julia's sitcom is actually the set used on ABC's According to Jim. (edit)
