Melissa Leo: Kay Howard

Quotes 

• John Munch : A bar is like the Box. People instinctively want to confess.

  Kay Howard : [laughing]  I got nothing to confess... I'm not guilty of anything. I'm trying to do my new job as well as I can...

  [sighs loudly] 

  Kay Howard : I try be helpful...

  [gazes down sadly at the table] 

  Kay Howard : People think I'm overbearing, condescending. You were right not to take that exam...

  [sighs again] 

  Kay Howard : It's not so much that I got in Lewis' way... I got in my own way, you know? How could I do that? Work, home... oh my god, listen to me, I am confessing.

  [sips on her gin fizz drink, embarrassed] 

  Kay Howard : This is delicious!

  John Munch : Want to dance?

  Kay Howard : [laughs loudly]  No!

  John Munch : [laughs]  Yes! No one'll see, there's no one conscious here! Afew smooth steps on the floor...

  [Munch turns on the jukebox] 

  John Munch : Have a little fun.

  Kay Howard : ...No.

  John Munch : C'mon Kay, let's dance.

  Kay Howard : No...

  [laughs again] 

  John Munch : I'll let you lead, alright? C'mon.

  Kay Howard : ...Let me lead, alright? You're easy to follow.

  [Kay laughs while she dances with Munch]
