• MacKenzie McHale : [while Will lies in a hospital bed, Jim reveals to them that Don is about to ask Maggie to move in with him. She scolds Jim for continuing to date Lisa rather than pursue a relationship with Maggie]  You've got to do something before he asks her.

  Jim Harper : No!

  MacKenzie McHale : Why not?

  Will McAvoy : It doesn't seem like a very nice thing to do to Don or Maggie or Lisa.

  Will McAvoy : [to MacKenzie]  I'm talking to you.
