LENA: I've been thinking about the Priya situation, and I'm really sorry.
JESUS: It's OK.
LENA: No. It's not ok because I hired David over Priya the first time around even though she was more qualified, and I did that because I'm sexist, and I thought that she might be a distraction for you.
JESUS: Yeah, you're right.
LENA: No. I was wrong to assume that you couldn't rise above locker room talk and be the man we raised you to be. The man who has the courage to stand up to his friends and say no it's not okay to sexually harass women. Physically or verbally, to their faces or behind their back. That you're a man who respects not just his moms, and his sisters, and his girlfriend, but all women. That's who I believe you are. That's who I hope you are. So I'm not going to tell Priya it's not working out, and if you can't show her the respect she deserves, you can tell her that yourself, and you can tell her why.

Stef
