Episode Quotes
 
Jack: Then why don't you do something about it? Fight back! Put on your pink boxing gloves and start crying!
Will: I'm not a fighter, okay? I-I-I bruise like a summer fruit.
Jack: Well if you're not going to do it for yourself, then do it for me. And Will, do it for every loser geek weakling homo ethnic fatty smarty sittin' alone under the jungle-gym petrified that they're gonna get beat up for being different.
Will: You're right, why am I putting up with this? I'm not a boy, I'm a man!
Jack: Atta boy!
 
Karen: Honey, you're a little close.
Grace: I'm going to kick your ass.
Karen: Well, why, honey? What did I do? (Karen steps back.)
Grace: You trumped my gift... The first gift... The gift he'll always remember. And because of that, (Grace steps forward0 I'm going to kick your ass.
Karen: Honey, you're scaring me a little bit. (Karen steps back)
Grace: I'm a little scared, too, Karen, 'cause I have never been so overwhelmed with the desire, (Grace steps forward) to kick your ass.
(Small pause, Karen points)
Karen: Look, honey, it's an attractive gay man!
(Grace turns and Karne runs away.)
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
Response: If you notice, Karen says "Good morning" often regardless of the time of day. Usually it means SHE just woke up from one of her drunken moments.
 
When Karen walks into the office with her bodyguard, she says "Good Morning", and when Nathan drops by during the same scene he asks Grace if she's ready to go to dinner.
