	Season 1 / Episode 11: - The Christmas Show Danny Tripp: It says here that you're going to have to make a journey of 1200 miles to bury your eggs in the warm mud. Jordan McDeere: Danny?

	Season 1 / Episode 11: - The Christmas Show Danny Tripp: Was sleeping with him for that information really worth it? Jordan McDeere: I didn't sleep with him for the information, he gave me the information so that he could sleep with me. Danny Tripp: Still, integrity all over the place.

By the way, did you and the Last Honest Man get loaded on Jagermeister and forget that there's like 500 different types of birth control?

Matt Albie: I told her it was up to her but they ended up telling her they didn't want her. Jordan McDeere: Oh, you're kidding? Matt Albie: No. Danny Tripp: What was this? Matt Albie: Harriet was scheduled to appear in a bunch of concerts around the country on Monday nights for a group called Women United Through Faith. She's been active in the group since she was little. Danny Tripp: They didn't like her quote? Matt Albie: They felt she seemed to be endorsing gay marriage and that this "wasn't the right time." She's also going to get slammed by Out Magazine for seeming to be against gay marriage. I really think it takes a special kind of rhetorical talent to say something thats draws an admonition from both of those groups at the same time.

Cal Shanley: It can't miss. Jordan McDeere: I'm celebrating! Cal Shanley: Well, enjoy the party. Jordan McDeere: I'm also hiding from Jack Rudolph. I didn't bid on a reality show he wanted, and then to add injury to... Cal Shanley: Insult to injury. Jordan McDeere: Insult to injury, Wilson White backed me and took Jack's legs out from under him, so I'm hiding here tonight. This is like for me Superman's Dome of Pleasure. Cal Shanley: Fortress of Solitude. Jordan McDeere: Yes! Cal Shanley: Well, enjoy yourself. Jordan McDeere: I believe I will! Jack Rudolph: [bursts through the doors] Guess who's in the hizzaayy! Cal Shanley: SUZANNE! Tarps over everything!
	Season 1 / Episode 4: - The West Coast Delay Suzanne: Ms. McDeer, Jack Rudolph on the phone. Jordan McDeere: [taking the phone] My boyfriend's calling me. [to phone] Hey Jack!

Seventeen-thousand of them weren't wearing seatbelts. Jordan McDeere: What does that have to do with anything? Danny Tripp: No, it's just you read it all the time. Two guys in a car, one wearing a seatbelt, the other one isn't, they're doing sixty down Mulholland, they blow into a telephone poll, the guy wearing the seatbelt's got two bruised ribs, a cut on his forehead, and the guy without the seatbelt gets decapitated. Jordan McDeere: [referring to the time she was arrested on DUI charges] I was wearing a seatbelt. Danny Tripp: I'm sure you were, I'm just not as sure that everyone else on the Long Island Expressway was. When I put a life in danger, it's my own.
	Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Cold Open Jack Rudolph: The Rapture's what I think it is, right? The world comes to an end - believers go up in a spaceship? Jordan McDeere: It's not a spaceship; it's Jesus Christ. Matt Albie: What happens to the non-believers? Jordan McDeere: You get thrown down into a fiery pit. Matt Albie: Can we just do that now?
	Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Cold Open Jordan McDeere: [after being told that one of the NBS affiliates has received multiple calls from people offended by what they had heard would be on one of the show sketches] Have any of these people ever watched the show? And if they don't like it, can someone go over to their houses and teach them how to change a channel?
	Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Cold Open Danny Tripp: Stick around, okay? And when we're done, I need to choke you to death. Jordan McDeere: You bet.
	Season 1 / Episode 2: - The Cold Open Jordan McDeere: If the ratings go up, the sponsors who dropped out? We'll welcome them back in... at 120% of the cost of the original add buy. We're going to be the first network to charge a coward fee.
	Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Jordan McDeere: Well, there are gonna be some horny psycho-religious cults tonight.
	Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Matt Albie: Are you people using the confidential information that Danny failed a drug test to force him into taking over Studio 60 to deflect attention from what happened on the air tonight? Jack Rudolph: [long pause]... He failed a drug test? Jordan McDeere: Yeah, actually Matt, I was the only one who knew about that. Shoulda trusted me a little, Danny. Matt Albie: [to Danny] Sorry about that, that one was all me. Danny Tripp: Yeah. Matt Albie: [to everyone] Ironically, I'm the one who's high as a paper kite right now, but legitimately. I had back surgery Tuesday. L5 S1, if that means anything to you. Stop talking now? Yeah, you bet.
	Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Danny Tripp: I have no reason to trust you and every reason not to. Jordan McDeere: Why? Danny Tripp: You work in television.
	Season 1 / Episode 1: - Pilot Jack Rudolph: There's gonna be a press conference at noon on Monday announcing that you two are running "Studio 60". I know I can count on you to answer questions in a way that doesn't embarass the National Broadcasting System. Will that be hard for you? Matt Albie: I wouldn't think it'd be hard for anybody, cause if you pointed a camera at two people masturbating it'd be among the least embarassing things on the National Broadcasting System. I'll tell Blair to start working on the deal. Jordan McDeere: I've already got a dual masturbation show in active development, so...
