- Miles Drentell: Nobody wants to be unpopular. That's why we're here. That's the dance of advertising. We help people become popular. Through popularity comes acceptance. Acceptance leads to assimilation. Assimilation leads to bliss. We calm & reassure. We embrace people with the message that we are all in it together. That our leaders are infallible and there's nothing, absolutely nothing wrong. That's what we do. It's what we've always done... In return for our humanitarian service, we are made rich.
- Ellyn Warren: I mean, Michael's cute and all, but how much fun can it be sitting at home watching him sulk night after night?
- Miles Drentell: You don't look well. Have you been sleeping properly?
- Michael Steadman: [who wasn't gotten actual sleep in days] Like a top.
- [Exits]
- Miles Drentell: [to himself] "Like a top"...
- Ellyn's date: I think "I Love Lucy"'s overrated, myself.
- [Miles shows up, with flowers etc., at Melissa's place, after the night he nearly raped her]
- Melissa Steadman: I didn't know there was a Hallmark card for this kind of thing...
- Melissa Steadman: I don't see myself as ambitious. Ambitious is someone named Roz who unclips her earring to answer the phone.
