Jane Leeves: Joy Scroggs

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Victoria Chase : Ice. I need ice.

  Joy Scroggs : I realize it's happy hour somewhere, but isn't it a bit early even for you?

  Victoria Chase : It happens to be an emergency.

  [holding ice tray against the side of her neck] 

  Victoria Chase : I pulled a muscle fastening my bra.

  Elka Ostrovsky : What's going on?

  Joy Scroggs : Victoria's having a senior moment.

  Elka Ostrovsky : Oh, I have those all the time. I can be walking along, happy as a clam, and suddenly I get this overwhelming urge to hit some young person with a stick.

• Victoria Chase : Oh, Lord, Hailey Nash! All those dreadful female empowerment songs.

  Joy Scroggs : Her music takes me back to a time when music sucked.

• Melanie Moretti : You *know* Johnny Revere!

  Victoria Chase : Every inch of him. One night he pulled me from the audience to dance on stage and gave me a back-stage pass to the best six months of my life.

  Joy Scroggs : Then why is he a bastard?

  Victoria Chase : Because, half-way through the tour, he left me stranded on a corner in Winslow, Arizona.

  Melanie Moretti : Wait, isn't that an Eagles song?

  Victoria Chase : Never tell Don Henley anything in confidence when you're doing shots.

• Joy Scroggs : Ooh, that sounds very satisfying. I've never thrown a drink at a man. I mean, I've slapped a couple of faces, egged a few cars, set the odd house on fire, but never the drink in the face. Oh, this is going to be fun!

• Joy Scroggs : Well, that was the most disgusting thing I've ever seen. And I used to wax Roseanne.

• Victoria Chase : I am definitely going to need an emergency wax.

  Elka Ostrovsky : But your eyebrows look fine.

  Victoria Chase : Oh, it's not my eyebrows I'm worried about.

  Joy Scroggs : Do you think I carry a portable waxing kit?

  Victoria Chase : Joy, please!

  Joy Scroggs : OK, fine!

  [picks up a candle and serviette from the table] 

  Joy Scroggs : I'll MacGyver it.

• Melanie Moretti : I just hope when Hailey gets my note she forgives me.

  Joy Scroggs : What note?

  Melanie Moretti : Oh, I paid the bartender to slip her an apology and a CD to autograph, so that way if I get it back in the mail I know she's forgiven me.

  Joy Scroggs : And if you get a restraining order, you'll know she hasn't.

  Melanie Moretti : Oh, no!

  Joy Scroggs : They're not that bad. You'd be surprised how much trash talking you can do from three hundred feet.

• [last lines] 

  Joy Scroggs : Oh, don't feel so bad, Melanie. I didn't know about Elton John *or* George Michael. I thought he wanted *my* sex.

  Melanie Moretti : I didn't even know the Village People were gay.

  Victoria Chase : Yeah, they kind of ruined that cowboys with short shorts and a moustache look for straight guys.

  Elka Ostrovsky : In my day nobody knew anything about anyone. Rock Hudson. Tab Hunter. I had a big thing for Liberace.

  Melanie Moretti : You thought Liberace was straight.

  Elka Ostrovsky : I could have turned him.
