  Episode Quotes  
Max: I dunno, Jenny. I mean, there's some stuff about Bette in here that's pretty harsh.
Jenny: I don't have a character named Bette.
Max: Okay, 'Bev'. Whatever, I just, I don't think you should send it.
Jenny: Bette of all people understands how artists create. Bette's not stupid, she understands the difference between reality and fiction.
Max: But everybody knows who your characters are based on and it's not right to expose your friends like this.
Jenny: Why don't you go back to your studio and lift some weights? I don't think you understand my story.
Max: Whatever.
 
Jenny: Helena, we've all been whores at one time or another.
Kit: You gotta do what you gotta do.
Shane: Everyone's done things for money they're not proud of. It doesn't make you a whore.
Alice: Yeah but she's not gonna sleep with this woman just to pay off a gambling debt... are you?
Helena: What else am I gonna do, Alice? I'm... gonna be a whore.
Jenny: Hang on a sec, Helena. Didn't you say that she was really beautiful?
Alice: Oh, she's stunning.
Jenny: Really?
Helena: Does that make any difference if I'm fucking a beautiful woman for money? I don't-I don't think so.
Alice: (thinking) Yeah. Yeah, it helps.
Shane: I'd like to say when I was fucking showing off my underwear for the whole world to see and that felt pretty harsh.
Jenny: You see, Helena? Everyone is a whore in their life at one time or another.
 
Phyllis Kroll: I don't want anybody new. I want Alice!
Bette: Alive was your first... okay? She was your coming out affair.
Phyllis Kroll: If this is what it feels like to come out, I wanna go back in!
Bette: Phyllis...
Phyllis Kroll: Don't talk to me like a child! I'm not a child!
