The director apologizes to Porter...

Episode Quotes
Lucius: (contemptuously, to Ella) Ya swim like a weightlifter.
Ella: (outraged) I've been working on that for two weeks!
Lucius: (indifferently, leaving) Never mind, my soggy Cinderella. This is your good fortune -- not mine.
Ella: (to others, in exasperation) Oh, does have have to be so rude?!
Don: (blithely) Oh, honey, don't worry about him. He's just a little guy who thinks he's big.
