LyndaWell you were asking what made me a better choice for editor.

Can you explain to me how I have just argued myself into doing exactly what you wanted me to do in the first place? You are a devious, unfeeling, calculating, manipulative bitch.
LyndaWell you were asking what made me a better choice for editor.
I'm not going to let you go to pieces while there is nothing to go to pieces about.
LyndaSo what are you saying, I should go in there and edit a newspaper?
Put it this way, what would Spike want you to do?
LyndaThe usual. Wear tighter clothes and show more cleavage.
Well, are you going to give into that kind of rubbish?
LyndaIf you weren’t such a perfect friend, I could like you better. And, by the way, I don’t mean that.
Oh, I’ll get over it. You’re only calling me perfect because you’re mad at me.
Lynda, I really don't think this is a good idea.
LyndaWhen I say you're in charge, you're in charge, Kenny!

Thanks.
LyndaFor what?
I don't know. Everything.

Do you think I can really do this?
LyndaKenny Phillips can do anything he wants to.
Lynda, you're not at school any more. You don't have to call me 'sir'.
LyndaI know. Sir.
I think I'm going to enjoy being grown up.
LyndaYou were never anything else.
I have faith in human nature.
LyndaWell, you don't get out much.
LyndaWhy do you always assume I'm incapable of handling anything technical?
I find it saves time.
LyndaCan I dock someone's pay?
On your birthday. If you've been good.
Why, it’s Cinderella back from the ball. So how was Prince Charming?
LyndaStow it, Buttons!
Fair enough, boss. Actually, I’ve always thought of you more as the wicked queen from Snow White.
