[the DPD has thrown Annie a surprise birthday party]
Annie Walker : So, the sudden craving for chai?
Auggie Anderson : Subterfuge.
Annie Walker : Auggie, you are six whole days off. You don't need subterfuge, you need a calendar.
Auggie Anderson : Oh.
Annie Walker : Unless... you know some reason why I won't be here next week to celebrate.
Joan Campbell : [enters] Annie.
[Annie whirls around, knows this is what it's about]
Joan Campbell : A word in my office when you're done here.
Annie Walker : [meaningful glance] Auggie...
[shakes her head]

Annie Walker : You're sending me to Paris?
Joan Campbell : See, now I'm already having second thoughts.

Joan Campbell : Yeah, but you've got that look.
Annie Walker : Look? What look?
Joan Campbell : The look that every female operative gets the first time I send her to Paris.

Joan Campbell : I don't want a postponement.
Auggie Anderson : You know, I can do that thing with the guy with the strings getting pulled. One phone call.
Joan Campbell : It's my civic duty.
Auggie Anderson : Okay, but what if you get stuck on some O.J.-like trial? You could be sequestered for weeks.
Joan Campbell : I'm not gonna be sequestered, because I won't even be selected.
Auggie Anderson : You don't know that.
Joan Campbell : If you were on trial, would you want me on your jury?
Auggie Anderson : Can I take the Fifth on that one?

Auggie Anderson : [trans-Atlantic phone call] And what did it cost to lay this Freudian trap of yours?
Annie Walker : [matter-of-factly] Six thousand.
Auggie Anderson : Six - six thousand euros for a pocketbook?
Jai Wilcox : It's actually not bad. Full retail's close to seven.
Auggie Anderson : [dismayed] Can you return it when you're done, or - or convert it into a *condo?*
Annie Walker : [smiles] You're obviously not a woman. Joan will understand the underlying psychology.
Joan Campbell : [enters] No. Joan would not understand.
Annie Walker : Oh! Hey, Joan.
