Dr. Randall Mindy : I'm so sorry, Kate. Really, I am.
Kate Dibiasky : Oh, Randall. God. Where's Brie Evantee? Shouldn't you two be playing footsie in a restaurant that only serves cubes and foam?
Dr. Teddy Oglethorpe : Well, she ain't wrong. You did lose the thread in a big way.
Dr. Randall Mindy : And what do you suggest we do? An online petition, huh? You want to hold... Get a mob and hold up picket signs? You wanna overthrow the government? I mean, look at this.

Kate Dibiasky : Can I say something?
Jason Orlean : Yeah, we've been dying to hear what you gotta say.
Kate Dibiasky : I didn't vote for you. But this is obviously much bigger than my misgivings. So I will be 100% behind this effort. No matter how offensive I may find you.
President Orlean : Hmm. Wow. That's great.
Jason Orlean : Yeah. That's really nice. You know, I did have the FBI put that bag over your head. They don't do that. The CIA does, but I made them do it.
Kate Dibiasky : You know, I had a feeling. I really did.
