[about her pregnancy] Do you ever think about it?
I try not to, but then it comes up out of nowhere. [She pauses] Playgrounds.
S4 E7The Suitcase
What happened?
Somebody very important to me died.
Who?
The only person in the world who really knew me.
That's not true.
It's your job. I give you money, you give me ideas.
And you never say thank you.
That's what the money is for! You should be thanking me every morning when you wake up, along with Jesus, for giving you another day!
S4 E8The Summer Man
[voice-over] People tell you who they are, but we ignore it - because we want them to be who we want them to be.
[voice-over] When a man walks into a room, he brings his whole life with him. He has a million reasons for being anywhere. Just ask him. If you listen, he’ll tell you how he got there. How he forgot where he was going - then, he woke up. If you listen, he’ll tell you about the time he thought he was an angel and dreamt of being perfect. And then he’ll smile, with wisdom, content that he realized the world isn’t perfect. We’re flawed because we want so much more. We’re ruined because we get these things and wish for what we had.
[to Peggy] No matter how powerful we get around here, they can still just draw a cartoon. So all you've done is prove to them that I'm a meaningless secretary, and you're another humorless bitch.
You're so arrogant.
JJoey
Me? What do you do around here besides walking around like you're trying to get raped?
Excuse me?
JJoey
I'm not some young girl off the bus. I don't need some madame from a Shanghai whorehouse to show me the ropes.
S4 E9The Beautiful Girls
[about Miss Blankenship] She died like she lived, surrounded by the people she answered phones for.
Let yourself out, lock the door behind you...as a courtesy.
You want to leave me here? You sure?
I'm taking everything interesting with me.
[to Joan] Every time I think back, all the good stuff was with you.

( on Ida's death ): She was born in 1898 in a barn. She died on the 37th floor of a skyscraper. She was an astronaut.
That's not a strategy, that's two strategies connected by the word and. I can do "where the pros go" or I can do "everyone's welcome," not both.
I have to say, most of the things Negroes can't do, I can't do either...and nobody seems to care.
S4 E10Hands and Knees
LGLee Garner Jr.
I'm gettin' this.
Why would you do that?
LGLee Garner Jr.
Sometimes a fella's gotta pick up the check.
Three whiskey sours ought to do.
RPRobert Pryce
She's asking what you want, not how many you've had.
