- Joy: ... I mean, you just take my money and I never get anything back from you. Dr. Katz: I feel like, the last few months particularly, we've made enormous progress. You remember when you used to come to the old office? Joy: Yeah. Dr. Katz: You'd walk in and you'd sit down and you would start crying for 45 minutes and the last 10 minutes we'd speak and you'd go home. And now ... Joy: And now what? Dr. Katz: You cry a little bit in the beginning and then you talk and you cry some more. You break it up. Edit

- Taming of the Shrew Joy Behar mentions she has a part in Taming of the Shrew, one of Shakespeare's most famous plays. The story is a "play within a play" - a lord decides to play a joke on a sleeping drunk named Sly. Dressed as a lord and slipped into a fine bed, Sly is told when he awakes that he is a great lord who has lost his memory and was merely dreaming his life before. Some actors then put on the comedy of Kate the Shrew, which follows a man as he tries to win the heart of a beautiful woman. However, the sister is not allowed to marry until her older sister, the vicious, ill-tempered Katherine, is married. Edit
