Cory [to Victor]
Stella: Alex, is there a problem?
Alex: No, no, no. All my shit’s already aired to the world. I’m good.
Stella: This conversation isn’t over yet.
Alex: [scoffs] OK.
Stella: ALEX. You blew off an incredibly important live broadcast that took us months to set up and promote. I’m putting you on TMS five days a week until after upfronts.
Alex: [chuckles] OK. Um, yeah. I’m happy to pull out a copy of my contract if you don’t remember my deal points.
Stella: Respectfully, Alex, actions have consequences, even for you.
Alex: Does Cybil know about this?
Stella: Yeah. She and Cory both signed off.
Alex: Oh, OK. I see. So you’re putting Bad Alex in a little TMS time-out? That’s what’s happening? No, it’s not. It’s not gonna happen. Doug will be all over this.
Stella: I’ll be happy to show him how you breached your contract. TMS, five times a week. Thank you for being a team player.

Cybil: You just don’t ever stop spitting, do you? You are CEO because you staged a coup. That’s not leadership; that’s opportunism. You walk through these halls with this unswerving belief that you and you alone can fix it. I’ve seen quite a few men come to this company with that same God complex. Eventually, you all fail.
