Quotes 

• Maya Gallo : It just hit me, you are your magazine. You're glossy, you're slick, the cover looks great, you open it up, there's nothing inside.

  Jack Gallo : I got another one for you. I get fat in December.

• Nina Van Horn : [learning that Maya is Jack's daughter]  I'm sorry about earlier, but it's just that there is virtually no resemblance.

  Maya Gallo : Go away.

  Nina Van Horn : Oh, there it is.

• Maya Gallo : Surely you realize that idolizing physical beauty is wrong.

  Elliot DiMauro : Oh, really? Tell me what you thought, honestly, when you first saw Michaelangelo's David?

  Maya Gallo : I thought it was an incredible sculputure.

  Elliot DiMauro : That's right, because David is the perfect male form.

  Maya Gallo : No, because Michaelangelo was a genius.

  Elliot DiMauro : Imagine if Michaelangelo had sculpted it with the same artistry but made it to look like, say, me?

  [poses like David] 

  Maya Gallo : It would still be a work of art.

  Elliot DiMauro : How about now?

  [pulls up his shirt to expose his flabby torso] 

  Maya Gallo : Fine, fine, you win.

• [first lines] 

  Maya Gallo : Bill? It's me, Maya Gallo. Are you sure you want to lead with a story on strippers? What would I lead with? Well, call me crazy, but it is election night.

• Anchorwoman : Who wrote this garbage? "Police report that gang violence is down this year"?

  Maya Gallo : That would be my garbage.

  Anchorwoman : How many times have I told you? It's "police tell *me* that gang violence is down." That way, it appears that I'm involved in the story.

  Maya Gallo : You're right. People would like to see you involved in gang violence.

• Maya Gallo : Hi, I'm Maya.

  Dennis Finch : Well, bye-ya.

  Maya Gallo : I'm here to see Jack Gallo.

  Dennis Finch : And I'm here to make sure you don't. You should have called for an appointment so I could reject you over the phone. That way you wouldn't have to get all gussied up.

• Elliot DiMauro : We're not the enemy here. We just like to look at beautiful things.

  Maya Gallo : And who decides what's beautiful.

  Elliot DiMauro : Oh, I do. That's the best part.
