Quotes 

• Harriet Hayes : First of all, could you stop telling people we broke up because of the national anthem? It makes me sound like an idiot.

  Matt Albie : Actually, the consensus is it makes me sound like an idiot.

  Harriet Hayes : Well, be that as it may and truer words were never spoke, please stop it.

• Harriet Hayes : I was great, by the way. I got a standing ovation.

  Matt Albie : Harry, I'm sure you were great, but it's the national anthem. They were standing already.

• Harriet Hayes : You know what, rook? When you start making a contribution to this show, you can talk to me any way you want. But you had two lines tonight and you stepped on one of them. So until you either accept Jesus Christ as your personal savior or make somebody laugh, why don't you talk to somebody else?

• Harriet Hayes : What went on in the control room?

  Cal Shanley : [sighs]  We got word the sketch was cut. Next thing I knew Wes was up on stage, Standards blew into the room, and I waited 53 seconds before I pulled the plug.

  Harriet Hayes : There had to be a lot of confusion - it's not like there are rules or procedures for this kind of thing.

  Cal Shanley : No, there are strict rules and procedures for this kind of thing, I just didn't follow any of them.

• Cal Shanley : I'm sorry about Matt. I'm a big fan of his, and I like him a lot.

  Harriet Hayes : I'm a big fan of his, and I hate his breathing guts.
