Neal Sampat quotes from The Newsroom

Will

[holding a bag of pot cookies] Just to be clear for you youngsters, this isn't recreational. It's medicinal. When I was a junior in high school, I was already throwing a 74-mile-an-hour fastball, which puts a lot of stress on your landing leg. I also have epicondylitis in my elbow due to my mess-you-up breaking ball.

You know, if you just want to bake, that's okay with me. You don't need to go to WebMD to come up with symptoms.

Will

I don't want to bake. I'm telling you I was an awesome high school athlete, but it's left me in constant physical pain in my knee and elbow. And experts say that medical marijuana relieves the pain and inflammation with fewer side effects than prescription pain killers.

Which experts?

Will

The ones on WebMD. Anyway, thank you and thank your friend in LA for getting this for me.

No problem. He said they're pretty strong. So you should just break off a quarter and eat that.

Neal

And when this guy says they're strong, they're strong.

Will

[looking worried for a moment] ...I ate two.

Okay, well...enjoy yourself and we'll see you in 12 to 14 hours.

Will

It's fine. I have incredibly high tolerance. That's why I can't feel the Vicodin.

Neal

You took Vicodin and then ate two cookies?

Will

Mmm hmm.

[To Neal] He's fine. [To Will] You're fine...just try to stay away from anything dangerous...electricity, y'know...outside...

Neal

Prison really changes a man. You get a lot of thinking done.

How long were you in there?

Neal

About an hour. Hour and 15 minutes. It's slow time.

Mac

The blog isn’t accomplishing what it should. And even though I can’t tell you specifically what to change, I want a complete overhaul.

Neal

I see, you’re doing a topical satire of OWS.

Mac

Well, I’m not willing to say exactly what I’m doing, because I don’t want it corrupted by the media.

Listen to me, I'd like dinner to last 10 to 15 minutes.

Neal

You don't like to linger.

I'm doing my lingering somewhere else tonight, so we're not ordering anything that takes a long time to prepare. We're not ordering anything well-done. We're not ordering anything cooked. It's okay with me if we don't order anything.

Neal

It's not going to be okay with the restaurant.

Screw the restaurant, Neal. The restaurant hasn't not seen his girlfriend in a month. The restaurant's girlfriend isn't wearing cocktail attire.

Piers Morgan and Rihanna had a Twitter fight about her haircut.

Neal

I'll give you $100 if you go pitch that to Will.
