- Jordan McDeere: What did you end up deciding with Harriet and the concerts?
- Matt Albie: I told her it was up to her but they ended up telling her they didn't want her.
- Jordan McDeere: Oh, you're kidding?
- Matt Albie: No.
- Danny Tripp: What was this?
- Matt Albie: Harriet was scheduled to appear in a bunch of concerts around the country on Monday nights for a group called Women United Through Faith. She's been active in the group since she was little.
- Danny Tripp: They didn't like her quote?
- Matt Albie: They felt she seemed to be endorsing gay marriage and that this "wasn't the right time." She's also going to get slammed by Out Magazine for seeming to be against gay marriage. I really think it takes a special kind of rhetorical talent to say something thats draws an admonition from both of those groups at the same time.
- Harriet Hayes: [referring to her upcoming bare-all photo-shoot] What do you think?
- Matt Albie: Me?
- Harriet Hayes: Yeah.
- Matt Albie: I think if you want to put on La Perla and pose for a great photographer then its Christmas morning for me.
- Harriet Hayes: Thank you.
- Matt Albie: But you don't want to.
- Lucy Kenwright: [finishing typing the script] I'm finished.
- Ricky Tahoe: It's done?
- Lucy Kenwright: I meant with my career.
- Ricky Tahoe: That's just not true.
- [pause]
- Ricky Tahoe: Plus, if things don't work out for you here, you can always go back and write for Benny Hill
- Lucy Kenwright: Bite me.
- Ricky Tahoe: Give me a kiss.
- Lucy Kenwright: I don't think so.
- Matt Albie: [walking into the room] Hi.
- [Lucy walks over to Matt and kisses him full on the mouth]
- Lucy Kenwright: [to Ricky] That was to be mean to you. Goodbye!
- [exits, Darius behind]
- Matt Albie: [to Darius] You just keep on walking!
- Darius Hawthorne: Yes sir!
- Cal Shanley: I'm gonna show you something and I don't think it's stupid. It comes from a creative place but it also doesn't bother me and it might help solve a problem since most of those 15 people would come from my department.
- Danny Tripp: I followed some of that.
- Cal Shanley: In the 20 years of the show, what's been your favorite home base?
- Danny Tripp: What do you mean?
- Cal Shanley: Your favorite permanent set. You favorite home base since the show went on the air.
- Danny Tripp: None of 'em.
- Cal Shanley: That's right. We never found it.
- Danny Tripp: We're working on it.
- Cal Shanley: The Hollywood sign?
- Danny Tripp: It's the most viewed landmark in the world. Beats the Eiffel Tower. And don't say the Santa Monica Pier.
- Cal Shanley: Downtown?
- Danny Tripp: Downtown isn't where L.A. is!
- Cal Shanley: It's not. L.A. is on Sunset between Doheny and Highland. It's the Sunset Strip. And Wes knew that because he put it right in the title.
- Danny Tripp: Hey, I would love to do the Strip, but if you think about it it's made up almost entirely...
- [pauses]
- Danny Tripp: of billboard ads.
- Cal Shanley: [shows a sketch of a set that would allow for product placement]
- Danny Tripp: This is... both good and profitable.
- Cal Shanley: Yeah.
- Danny Tripp: You know how that confuses me.
- Cal Shanley: I do.
- Tom Jeter: None of this...
- Harriet Hayes: I understand!
- Tom Jeter: Just to be clear...
- Harriet Hayes: You're clear!
- Tom Jeter: None of this should do anything to take away from the fact that we are in favor of women in their underwear.
- Harriet Hayes: I know!
- Simon Stiles: True story!
- Tom Jeter: We are pro female nudity, that can't be said enough times.
- Harriet Hayes: You're testing that theory, but again... I understand.
- Harriet Hayes: Young girls look up to me Matt. You know, the same way young boys don't care about you at all.
