Episode Quotes

Danny Trip: She got 9 out of 10 on the APGAR.
Jordan McDeere: [smiling excitedly] Nine out of 10! What'd she miss?
Danny Trip: She didn't grimace. But we're gonna work on that.
Doctor: Yeah, this kid isn't going to be under a lot of pressure at all.
Danny Tripp: I just stood in Jack's office and said, "Screw friendship, screw honor, screw patriotism." That's how I talked about myself. And then I added, "We just lost the franchise." That's how I talked about Matt, who would stand in front of a train for any of us, including you while you're screwing Luke. He's been threatened by the Network, compromised by me, brow-beaten by you, heart-broken by Wes, and he's still standing up. Why am I quitting? Cause they're gonna start shooting at him and I'm gonna be standing next to him when they do. You're a talented girl, have a good show this week.
Danny Tripp: Hey, Matthew, don't take this the wrong way, but... I love you.
Matt Albie: Okay.
Danny Tripp: Did you take it the wrong way?
Matt Albie: I took it to mean that you're gay and you want me.
Danny Tripp: Good.
