Ah! You found my lipstick. This, if this wasn't already the best day of my life. Nothing I hate more than an incomplete set.

Joy

Cliff! Sit. Legs crossed. Now, a kiss for mommy.

Donna

Oliver: This is not my best day as a director. That was in 1988 when I got my Tony. Tony was a dog I owned. Yes, I did choose that name to confuse people.
Loretta: I love how all of your stories always end miles from where you start.

Oliver: What do I have to do to get people to see what I see? Can you help me?
Loretta: No, I'm afraid not. [Chuckles] What about this one?
Oliver: This one? The Nanny's Lullaby?
Loretta: Oh, what? No. Come on, Oliver that is good.
Oliver: I promised Donna Oliver Putnam, meaning big and loud
Loretta: Yeah, I think we all know that you are more than just loud. What I love about Oliver Putnam's shows is that underneath all the bombast of the chaos and the breeding crabmen, It's just there's a vulnerability. That's what makes Oliver Putnam special ... as a director.

God dammit, Ben. Why? Sorry. I'm so sorry, Ben.

Dickie

Charles: Yeah, and ... and what about his hair? Who needs all that hair?
Kimber: And I think we're fine with hair.
Charles: You know what I was just thinking. What if we took all of the hankies that Ben gave us and threw them at all of his feet? That would make a statement. And then I would pick up the hankies later for the quilt.

Oliver: I'm gonna make it goddamnit. That's right, folks. It's a musical. Get ready for Death Rattle: Dazzle. What are you doing with that?
Mabel: The cops got it wrong. We think that Ben's killer is someone in your show, which means we're back!

If Greg had Ben's handkerchief then whose handkerchief was Ben holding when he died?

Mabel

I'd just done my very first table read ever, you went over to the director, told him I was a phony and got me fired. I was eight years old.

Ben

I haven't always been a fan of yours, but even your worst production sing and somehow this one just didn't sing.

Maxine

Jonathan: Oh, you're using Ben's opening night gift?
Stage Manager: Yeah, I didn't think I'd need it so soon.
Howard: It really is a beautiful gift.
Stage Manager: I didn't realize assistants got one too.
Howard: And I didn't realize stage managers wiped their noses with anything other than the bottom of their palms.
Stage Manager: You've got crumbs in your beard.

OK, secret, I think theater is kind of lame. People all dressed up in costumes no real person would ever wear, acting like nobody's sitting out there watching them say things no real person would ever say. But at least this piece of theater is a murder mystery. That, I can get my head around. And every murder mystery needs a victim.
