- Isaac Jaffe: Where's Casey?
- Jeremy Goodwin: Ah, out with a girl named Pixley.
- Isaac Jaffe: Casey's out with Pixley?
- Jeremy Goodwin: Yes.
- Isaac Jaffe: You suppose the two of them could be any more white?
- Jeremy Goodwin: No, I don't imagine they could.
- Casey McCall: [awkward first date] Pixley's an unusual name. Did it, um, come from your mother?
- Pixley Robinson: I'm pretty sure it came from both my parents.
- Casey McCall: What I meant was, was it your mother's maiden name?
- Pixley Robinson: No.
- Casey McCall: It doesn't have special significance?
- Pixley Robinson: It has special significance in as much as it's my name.
- Dan Rydell: What's goin's on?
- Natalie Hurley: We only have six minutes and twenty-five seconds worth of show for tomorrow.
- Dan Rydell: No problem.
- Dana Whitaker: No problem?
- Dan Rydell: I can stretch it.
- Dana Whitaker: You can't stretch it.
- Dan Rydell: Dana, I'm a writer. I stretch things all the time. Give me six minutes and twenty-five seconds worth of copy, and I'll stretch it into an hour. I've done it before.
- Dana Whitaker: No, you haven't. You've stretched six minutes and twenty-five seconds into *seven* minutes and twenty-five seconds.
- Dan Rydell: Hmm. It certainly seemed like an hour.
- Dana Whitaker: [sighs disgustedly] Sally?
- Natalie Hurley: Yes.
- Dana Whitaker: My Sally?
- Natalie Hurley: Casey's Sally.
- Dana Whitaker: Sally is going to win my award.
- Natalie Hurley: Jeremy's award.
- Dana Whitaker: Natalie, I'm about to make this man the most famous seventh-place archer in the history of sports. I think the very least he can do is die in a timely manner, and be gay.
- Dan Rydell: Jealousy will rear its ugly head.
- Casey McCall: It will not rear its ugly head.
- Dan Rydell: It will rear its ugly head. It will look around, and then it will... eat Tokyo.
- Jeremy Goodwin: I was wondering, as someone who's been nominated for many of these things and lost most of the time, how you felt on the question of preparing a speech in advance?
- Isaac Jaffe: I won the Pulitzer Prize, Jeremy.
- Jeremy Goodwin: Oh, it's a real honor, sir.
- Isaac Jaffe: No, I meant it's one of the many objects in the room that I could grab and shove up - .
- Jeremy Goodwin: Got it.
- [Jeremy just found out that he didn't win his award, while Isaac is waiting for his wife to finish dancing so she can pick him up]
- Isaac Jaffe: Jeremy.
- Jeremy Goodwin: Yes, sir?
- Isaac Jaffe: You know what sucks?
- Jeremy Goodwin: Losing an award?
- Isaac Jaffe: I was gonna say not being able to dance with your wife.
- Jeremy Goodwin: Yeah, I was gonna say that too, sir.
