Elizabeth [about Morejon]: You do know we hate each other?
Mike B: Yeah. It's classic D.C. jiu jitsu. He has to come, you look gracious, he feels awful, and you win. Trust me, it's perfect.

Stevie: Exactly.

Elizabeth: And you're okay with this?

Mike B: My God, it's like a hostage video.

Russell: Bunny? God no, I hated her.
Elizabeth: Oh. Everybody loved her parties...
Russell: They were just scared of getting left out. It was like drinking eggnog at Sadam Hussein's palace.

Russell: You got any plans this weekend?
Elizabeth: Um...I don't know, reading, mostly. Got to hit the grocery store. You know, probably put on my yoga pants but not actually go.

Why the hell did that family have to go to Cambodia instead of a Disney cruise like normal people?
