[speaking to Mary in the newsroom about the tennis club] A lot of great-looking guys have lunch there.
You talking about Antonio's? You're right, I just had lunch there.
MaryTed, we were talking about the tennis club.
Oh, I'll have to go there some time.
Mary[talking about playing tennis] I gotta warn you, Rhoda and I sort of make up our own rules as we go.

What you tell him Lou?
MaryHe told him to watch you do the news and decide for himself.
Oh my God!
Lou [hugging Mary]: I treasure you people.
Lou… [everyone joins in a group hug]
I think we all need some Kleenex
There's some on Mary's desk.
MaryMr. Grant. Could I say what I wanted to say, now. Please.
Okay, Mary.
MaryWell I just wanted you to know, that sometimes I get concerned about being a career woman. I get to thinking my job is too important to me. And I tell myself that the people I work with are just the people I work with, and not my family. And last night I thought, "what is a family anyway?" They're just people who make you feel less alone and really loved. And that's what you've done for me. Thank you for being my family. [group hug]
Now for the hard part. How do we leave this room?
That's not so hard. Remember what Ted said?
What was that, Lou?
It's a long way to Tipperary, It's a long way to go…
MaryViolence never solved anything.
Au contraire, Mary. Violence has solved every war, most football games, and a few marriages I can think of!
