Episode Quotes |
| |
Danny: I'll tell you, considering me and half the cast spend most of the day in Pahrump, Nevada, I thought it was a pretty good show.
Matt: Yeah?
Danny: I did.
Matt: Indiana? Illinois? Missouri? Are rebel forces gathering?
Danny: No.
Matt: Then why are we praying for peace in the Midwest?
Danny: Girl's nice to look at.
| Jordan: I saw the end … and I think we should all take a moment to consider the suffering in Des Moines.
| Matt: I am psyched for this photo shoot of yours.
Harriet: I want to commission a scientific study of how news travels in this building.
Matt: Hey, I'm not even sure there's such a thing as the Internet. It might just be Jeannie telling everyone stuff.
| Jordan: What if you did tank tonight? What are you afraid would happen?
Matt: Strangers wouldn't like me, friends wouldn't like me, the network wouldn't like me, the press wouldn't like me, women in general wouldn't like me, and Harriet wouldn't like me.
Jordan: Is he in therapy?
Danny: No, he's got me.
| (angry that the show ended 37 seconds short)
Cal: Danny had to have Jessica Simpson fill. Nice girl, nice performer; don't want her to extemporize on our air. She had time to thank her pets, and then she asked us all to pray for peace in the Midwest.
Ron: I'm sure she meant the Middle East.
