Quotes 

• Vern Eggly : The reason I asked you all here is: I think I know where the mystery memoirs are coming from and I think we have a suspect.

  Lou Grant : Colonel Mustard.

  Art Donovan : In the library.

  Charlie Hume : With the candlestick.

  Vern Eggly : Ok, ok, now, now, now what do we know? One: someone on the Trib is writing cheesy, sexy memoirs. Two: no editor has assigned anyone to write cheesy, sexy memoirs. Three: the retrieval code is close enough to our computer language, so that the cheesy, sexy memoirs have been showing up on Lou's terminal and later on Adam's.

  Lou Grant : Vern, just tell us who's writing the cheesy, sexy memoirs.

  Vern Eggly : Don't you wanna hear how I figured it out?

  Charlie Hume : No.

  Vern Eggly : You really want me to just, tell you?

  Lou Grant : Yeah.

  Vern Eggly : It's Joe Rossi.

  Lou Grant : [stands up]  Rossi?

  Art Donovan : Ok, Vern, I wanna know how you know that.

  Vern Eggly : I just walked by his terminal, he's doing it right now.
