Natalie Hurley : We're women.
Casey McCall : What?
Dana Whitaker : We're women.
Dan Rydell : You're women.
Dana Whitaker : Yes.
Casey McCall : I have to say, Danny, that in both their cases, there's considerable evidence to support that theory.
Dan Rydell : Dana...
Dana Whitaker : We're in charge. We're women in charge. And we're keeping it together. That's what we do.
Casey McCall : That's what you do.
Dana Whitaker : That's right.
Casey McCall : Well we're men, we're petrified. That's what we do.
Dan Rydell : We've found that giving into our fears has made us stronger.
Casey McCall : And not just a little pathetic.
Dan Rydell : Right, mostly stronger.
Casey McCall : Yeah.
Dan Rydell : So if you're scared, if you're sad, if you're mad, you should tell us. It's entirely possible we'd be able to say or do something that'll make you feel better.
Casey McCall : That's the other thing we do.
