Episode Quotes
 
Margot: So, you can set your own budget. What do ya say?
Grace: About what?
Margot: Oh sorry, I, I do this a lot. I rehearse conversations in my head, and then I can't remember if I've actually had them or not. Listen, I wanna re-do the lawfirm. So, you can set your own budget. What do ya say?
Grace: Really? Wow, oh, I, I just volunteered to ah... You know what, I will get back to you by this afternoon.
Margot: I stopped loving you, years ago. (Walks towards door)
Grace: Excuse me?
Margot: Sorry, I'm having lunch with my husband later.
 
Jack: Wow, so dramatic. "The Forbidden Room." Reminds me of my nickname at camp. "Forbidden Fruit." Unless I was in the sleeping bag, then it was "Fruit Roll-Up."
 
Will: Here you go.
Grace: Oh, thank you.
Will & Grace: AAAHHHHH! What are you doing here? Are you working here? You lied to me! (Both hit head on table) OWW!
 
 
Episode Goofs
 
When breaking into the "Forbidden Room", you can tell Sean is just holding onto the doorknob and that it's already loose. Plus, the door doesn't make any noises of it unlocking when Sean falls though it, it just slides open.
 
Look carefully at the office Will works at again. The breakroom is where his office should be. For some reason the cre thought they could fool the audience into thinking it was a different part of the office just by changing the one room. But look closely, aside fromt he break room, the office looks the same.
