Jo: A sunrise on a snowy sky, a rolling wave beneath the moon...where are the ingredients?
Ethan: Scott says that sometimes when we write out our ingredients on a list, it dulls our creative spark.
Jo: This is not a recipe, this is a nonsensical, romantic baking poem!

Delia: Could you explain this?
Gavin: Well, see, we were trying to make a cast out of Ronnie's cock...
Gal: It's so beautiful. It belongs in a museum.

What is your problem with me? The way you talk to me is mean. It's dehumanizing. You're mean to me.

Abby

Yeah well. The man is fine. As are you. I feel like you guys, you fit, you match up. I don't know if he was an addict so much as he was just screwing around until he found his person. I'm guessing we'll never know, now.

Barbara

Grayson: Phoebe, where do you think I negotiate my sales?
Phoebe: I have no idea.
Grayson: In my office. Top buyers hungry for product will see JD's painting hanging on the wall, will ask why it isn't out with the rest and what do you think I will tell them? Cuz it's my personal favorite. And what does that accomplish? It makes them want it more. This is what I do. I build up new artists; I create demand. And YOU, Phoebe, I'm sorry to say, you live in a fantasy world where you think you can step into MY gallery and everyone will just fall at your feet. Well, this is real life, a business. You want your husband's career to take off? Then let me do my job. And you want to have success here? Shut up. Learn. And bring me some buyers. Yeah? Understand? OK. You look great.

Jo: Trust is not in my wheelhouse right now.
Scott: This? Could have been amazing.

But, whatever. The magic's in the rewrite. At least that's what I tell my writers when I crush their dreams.

Barbara

You are incorrigible. You know, the world is full of women, all types, but there is only one infuriatingly sexy, magnificent Josephine.

Scott

Abby: But he got a hit. He got a double hit. Why is he being punished?
Baseball Mom: There is no crying in baseball. Welcome to the team.

He caught the ball in his ball glove...in his mitt...in his glove.

Abby

Mitchell: Where is the fun, the energy?! You've got a whole section here on the duality of the inner goddess.
Barbara: I thought it was interesting context.
Mitchell: SheShe doesn't do context. This read like a college thesis paper.
Barbara: OK. I'll take another pass. But just to be clear, you wanted my distinct voice. THIS is my voice.
Mitchell: Yeah, your voice is kind of a drag.

Abby: No, it's not adjustments, really, it's more global thoughts.
Barbara: Global.
Abby: Big picture stuff. You know, it's great, but it's not from your perspective.
Barbara: Well, you know, it is, in that I wrote it.
Abby: Well, it is, but I kind of lose it in there. You know. Where are you?
Barbara: Well, I'm there at the Goddess Ceremony, which is what the column is about...
Abby: Yes. I just...I want to know what you feel about things, what is your POV, what is your personal experience, you know what I'm saying?
Barbara: Yes.
Abby: Great!
Barbara: You think I should rewrite it.
Abby: Noooo! Not at all. Just like, take another pass.
