Casey McCall : [Casey is practicing flirting] You're smoky.
Dana Whitaker : I'm smoky?
Casey McCall : You're smoky. You're a lot of other things too, but you're smoky.
Dana Whitaker : I don't know what that means, but I like the sound of it. Tell me what it means.
Casey McCall : It's hard to translate.
Dana Whitaker : Try.
Casey McCall : You'll make a joke.
Dana Whitaker : We're flirting - it's okay.

Dana Whitaker : Jeremy.
Jeremy Goodwin : Yes?
Dana Whitaker : Tell me the story so far on UCLA/Arizona.
Jeremy Goodwin : The story, Dana, is shooting percentage. Shooting percentage and offensive glass. Last I checked, UCLA was 12-for-24 from the field, 1-for-6 at the stripe. Arizona's press forced 12 turnovers, which led to 15 points. The 'cats, needless to say, were dominant in the paint, and McDuffy's got four fouls. That is the story.
Natalie : Jeremy.
Jeremy Goodwin : Yes?
Dana Whitaker : What's the score?
Jeremy Goodwin : Wow.
Dana Whitaker : Jeremy.
Jeremy Goodwin : Devil's in the details.

Dana Whitaker : Natalie?
Natalie : Yeah?
Dana Whitaker : You're thinking about how you'd redecorate my office right now, aren't you?
Natalie : I was not.
Dana Whitaker : Yes, you were.
Natalie : I was totally not at all.
Dana Whitaker : In your little mind, you were measuring for new curtains.
Natalie : I was not measuring for curtains.
Dana Whitaker : You'd keep the curtains?
Natalie : And dump the plants.
Dana Whitaker : Thank you.

Isaac : I want to start grooming you.
Dana : I don't understand.
Isaac : You heard me.
Dana : You want to start grooming me?
Isaac : Yes.
Dana : You'd better be talking about my hairstyle, Isaac.
Isaac : Don't go nuts.
Dana : I'm not going nuts, I'm just saying that's the only kind of grooming that I'm prepared to talk about at this particular moment.
-
Dana : How do you know I even want your job?
Isaac : Everybody wants my job.
Dana : Not me. I think your job stinks. You get to create your own show and make all the decisions and have a big staff and make a lot of money. That's not for me, Isaac. I like to answer to people, I don't want to create. When I get a thought in my head I like it to die right there.

Isaac Jaffe : ...Furthermore, Dana, things that I tell you in my office stay in my office.
Dana Whitaker : Well, Natalie's my second in command, she's the only one I told.
Natalie Hurley : Jeremy's my boyfriend, he's the only one I told.
Jeremy Goodwin : I told many, many people.
