Quotes 

• Gretchen Cutler : Name one thing that makes you a bad boy.

  Jimmy Shive-Overly : I have a raging foot fetish.

  Gretchen Cutler : Foot fetishes are the applesauce of fetishes. Bad-boy fetishes are, like, you can only get turned on if your dick's on fire.

• [Gretchen shows up to a mandatory after-work meeting with her boss, Yvette] 

  Yvette : Question. How did you get hired in the first place?

  Gretchen Cutler : [sighs]  Look. I know. I was just a coked-out assistant who spent most of her time hooking up with industry guys and stealing iPod Shuffles from swag bags, but then Rick was decapitated in that Jet Ski accident, and suddenly, I got a promotion I never asked for. And now here I am three years later, getting married, pretending to be a real publicist in my big office, which, yeah, I stole. Which triggered another promotion I didn't ask for. And I am a total fraud, okay? All I do is lie and manipulate my clients into doing what I want them to do.

  Yvette : [smiling]  You just described being a publicist.

  Gretchen Cutler : Yeah. Anyways, thanks for doing this off campus to let me save face. Say bye to Toilet for me.

  [Gretchen gets up to leave] 

  Yvette : Sit.

  [Gretchen sits] 

  Yvette : God, you remind me so much of me. It's true! I was just some rich girl who liked to fuck musicians.

  Gretchen Cutler : Really?

  Yvette : [laughs]  Yes! I didn't take this job seriously either. Until one day I woke up and decided I wanted to be good at something other than avoiding being good at anything.

  Gretchen Cutler : The only thing I'm good at is faking it.

  Yvette : I get that you need to think that's true. But I have news for you. When you weren't looking, Gretchen, you actually became good. Can you imagine how unstoppable you would be if you actually tried?

  [Visibly touched, Gretchen is unable to reply] 

  Yvette : Bad mom, huh?

  [Gretchen nods and bursts into tears]
