Catherine: I know that you got the memo, I'm not sure that you read it. Eckley is being promoted to Assistant Director. They are taking applications for his supervisor spot on days. I want it.
Catherine is referring to Gil's tendency to ignore memos and emails. This is referenced in many other episodes including "
Ellie" and, more recently, "
I Like to Watch".
Catherine: I have a daughter who is so starved for my attention, she is thumbing rides to Fremont Street to see her grandfather. The last person I want her around. I mean, not that it's much better with my mother, who sees Lindsay much more often than I do.
Catherine is referring to Lindsey's hitchiking in "
Harvest". She also is making references to her mother's character (see "
Slaves of Las Vegas" and "
Weeping Willows") and the fact that she is not the type of person she wants raising her daughter.
