Quotes 

• Maya : What are you guys doing?

  Dennis Finch : We're pointing out women we'd like to sleep with.

  Elliot : Oh, I thought we were pointing out women we already slept with.

  Dennis Finch : I don't wanna play anymore.

• Wally : Hello, and welcome to Wallyphone. If you are Maya and have a great excuse for blowing me off, press one. If you don't have an excuse, press two.

  Maya : Wally, I'm sorry.

  Wally : For a selection of excuses available in your area, press three.

  Maya : Please forgive me.

  Wally : You have selected begging for mercy.

• Maya : Whoa, back up! You lived with Andy Warhol?

  Nina : Well, not exactly lived. I spent three days chained to his radiator. Performance art my foot.

• Maya : Finch, the copier's not working.

  Dennis : Maybe the dark cloud over your head shorted it out.

• Jack Gallo : There was this guy at the Times who hated my guts for no reason. Wait, I may have slept with his girlfriend. He used to take pot shots at me during editorial meetings. But did I hit back?

  Maya : No, you charmed him to your side.

  Jack Gallo : That's right. He became my biggest supporter. He even gave me five grand to start this magazine. You know what happened the day I was to pay him back? He dropped dead. Pure profit, Maya.

• Maya : So what, Nina? You're still young.

  Nina : Maybe for a senator. A model is over the hill at twenty-eight. What does that make me?

  Maya : A legend.

  Nina : No, no. Invisible. Twenty years ago, I couldn't walk into a restaurant without every man in the room wanting me. Now the only way I can get a reaction is by dressing like an extra from Shogun.

• Nina : Who do you have to kill to get a drink around here?

  Maya : I have an idea.

• Maya : Let's hear from someone who has an attention span longer than five seconds. Elliot?

  Elliot : Huh?
