Daniel mentions MODE is 50 years old.

Marc: Did you see her yet?
Wilhelmina: Yes and it looks as if Queens threw up!

Betty: (Talking on the phone) Oh, I wasn't expecting this. I thought I was going to have to leave a message.
Vincent: Wanna call back, I could let the machine pick up?

Wilhelmina: Remember the yacht? Your Dad throws this party to introduce Alex to the entire fashion community, as the new editor of Hudson. He walks in with a black pinstripe Amarni jacket, white tuxedo front shirt and polka dot boxers.
Bradford: That picture ended up in almost every newspaper in the country. Circulation went up 38%. That is an editor.
Daniel: Wish you'd told me that Dad. I would gladly have dropped my pants for you.

Betty: (to Marc) I can't hit your boss but I can hit you and everybody knows I'm from Queens and I will do it!

Christina: Since when did you wanna look like one of them? They're not even real! Real women snort when they laugh, they've got fat arses, wobbly up their arms, and get PMS.

Wilhelmina: We’ll work with each other to fix it. I’ll start with the leak.
Daniel: I’ll tackle the new spread.
Wilhelmina: Perfect, we’re in this together.
Daniel: Are you as creeped out as I am?
Wilhelmina: More.

Justin: It's just like Top Model except no one's crying.
Top Model refers to America's Next Top Model, hosted and created by ex-model Tyra Banks.
