Cyn
- Cyn: Sometimes I sing and dance around the house in my underwear. Doesn't make me Madonna. Never will.
- [Looking through Katherine Parker's wardrobe, reading price tag on a dress]
- Cyn: Six thousand dollars? It's not even leather!
- Tess McGill: [pretending to be her boss] I know what I'm doing.
- Cyn: Yeah, screwing up your life.
- Tess McGill: No, I'm trying to make it better! I'm not gonna spend the rest of my life working my ass off and getting nowhere just because I followed rules that I had nothing to do with setting up, OK?
- Tess McGill: [on the phone] Cyn! Guess where I am...
- [giggles]
- Cyn: [stands up, screams to secretaries] She got out! Oh my god! I can't believe it, she's out - she made it out! She got out! She has her own office!
- Cyn: [trailer] How 'bout you?
- Tess McGill: I'm flat broke, I'm crazy about a man that I will probably never see again...
- Cyn: Well, *besides* that!
- [Tess laughs sadly]
- Tess McGill: Shoot me, shoot me.
- Cyn: Will you cut that out, they didn't throw you out did they?
- Tess McGill: They don't exactly have bouncers at these things, they're a little more subtle than that.
- Cyn: What is this thing you're going to, anyway?
- Tess McGill: A closing party for the Minadine-Dalton merger. Dewey-Stone's throwing it, which is where this guy Trainer works. It's a perfect time to meet him. Mix business with pleasure. Fringe times are crucial.
- Cyn: What'd you do? Snatch her invite?
- Tess McGill: Well, she can't use it. Besides it's important for me to start interacting with people, not as a secretary...
- Cyn: But as a total impostor. Right.
- Cyn: Sit down. Let's see if she's got anything soothing. Valium. In the convenient economy size.
- Tess McGill: You sure?
- Cyn: It just chills you ever so slightly. You won't even notice it.
- Cyn: Look, all I'm sayin' is: if you're so smart, why don't you act smart and save your ass while you still can?
