- Eileen Rand: How'd it go? Did you tell her?
- [Tom is silent]
- Derek Wills: Oh, it's called a spine, Tom!
- Rebecca Duvall: Look, I know that everybody thinks I'm a joke.
- Derek Wills: Oh, stop it, no, they don't.
- Rebecca Duvall: Derek,you've had people standing in for me. You didn't even tell me about losing my leading man.
- Derek Wills: I'm... I'm just trying to make an already difficult situation...
- Rebecca Duvall: Stop trying! What are we gonna do here?
- Derek Wills: [sighs] Okay.
- [clears throat]
- Derek Wills: You know Marilyn was always afraid of being a joke. Well, that feeling of not being authentic... having something to prove... Use it. Good.
- [stands up, heads off, halts]
- Derek Wills: Oh, and if I were you... I'd think about using your star power.
- [nods]
- Derek Wills: Let's throw it around, huh? Revel in it. Find the joy in it. It's your escape from the terror.
- Rebecca Duvall: Okay.
- R.J. Quigley: It is just what happened. They were protecting each other, and you had to go. You can't take it to heart.
- Dev Sundaram: Yeah, great.
- R.J. Quigley: You have amazing talent. You'll be back so quickly, you'll look back at this and laugh.
- Dev Sundaram: You're really good to me.
- R.J. Quigley: I try to be.
- Dev Sundaram: [toast] To my plummeting career.
- R.J. Quigley: [grins] To rock bottom.
- [glasses clink]
- Dev Sundaram: Good place.
- Derek Wills: [to Karen and Ivy] Okay, during the extended fun of Mambo, you two will stand either side of her, take a glove each, and remove it... gently.
- Ivy Lynn: What, we're taking her gloves off for her?
- Derek Wills: You heard me. Do it!
