Monica and Tess in “Unfinished Business”

Monica

You know, I've been here two weeks and all I've had to do is to order the perfect chairs, the perfect flowers, the perfect napkins...

Tess

Patience is a virtue. Virtue is a grace. Put them all together and they make a happy face.

Monica

Tess, what am I doing here? The Founders Banquet is in two days. Once it's over, then what?

Tess

I think that's what everybody in this house is asking themselves. The people in this place have nothing to look forward to except the next big party or the next disappointment. Maybe something less than their idea of perfect is exactly what this house needs.
