Liza: No offense Redman, but generic label murder she wrote doesn’t sound very current.
Redman: Well, that’s the point. It’s cozy. There’s tea and knitting and gentle crime among upper middle class white folks in coastal Maine. No, it’s not current, but it does somehow defy the times.
Kelsey: Redman, are you kidding?
Liza: There used to be a time where you were a resource for Millennial.
Redman: Millennial, um, I thought Millennial can't come to the phone right now. Why, ‘cause she’s dead.
Kelsey: We would still like relevant authors. Not dinosaurs. That is not our brand.
Redman: That is exactly your brand. Millennial, Empiricial, Mercury, Sterling Peters Brooks, whatever you want to call it, ‘Murder She Blogged’ is essentially the female ‘Arabian Sea.’ I should congratulate you. You ladies have emerged of the mid-lit leaders of the new decade?
Kelsey: Mid-lit?
Redman: Middle aged literature. Last I heard, your pipeline was stacked with historical pop boilers. True or false?
Liza: Well, yes…
Redman: Well, if you want to stay in that age bracket, the least you could do is get the she/her point of view. Come on. This is a win-win. I can see it now. You publish the book. CBS turns it into a procedural starring Betty White. Metamucil pays the ad sales up front, and we all reap the benefits. Lean into your identity ladies. We all gotta eat.

Lauren: Wait, wait, so we hate each other and we make snide remarks like, ‘Wow, you sound just like your mother right now.’ That’ll be fun, don’t you think?
Maggie: No, this is not supposed to be fun. We’re only here because I want to keep my job. I told Cass this is new, so we don’t hate each other yet.
Lauren: OK, not what I prepared, but I can take a note. New couple, lovey dovey, googly eyes, horny. Got it.
Maggie: No horny vibes around the wife. I don’t know what’s going to set her off.
Lauren: Well, it’s not what you told me.

KT: Why does Josh have all this baby stuff in his room?
Lauren: Um, you know what, that’s actually none of my business. That’s between you two, not me. That’s private. OK? OK, cool. Good, I am so glad we didn’t discuss that.

Liza: You’re letting her borrow your daughters?
Charles: It’s no big deal.
Liza: It is a big deal, Charles. I wasn’t going to say anything, but it feels irresponsible if I don’t at this point. I just got confirmation that you’re being used.
Charles: What are you talking about?
Liza: I heard from my source that Quinn is announcing her run for governor tonight, right now, and she’s using your family to give her the picture perfect image she didn’t have last time around. It’s the truth.

Liza: I owe you an apology.
Charles: Forget it.
Liza: No, I’m sorry. I didn’t realize… I just want what’s best for you.
Charles: I said forget it. You want what’s best for me? Stay out of my personal life. It’s best for us, Liza.

Liza: Congratulations on your big night. I’ve got somewhere to be.
Quinn: Is that all you want to say?
Liza: Excuse me?
Quinn: The next time you investigate me, you might want to double check your sources.
Liza: I was doing my due diligence as an editor when I fact-checked your book. It’s my job.
Quinn: Is it also your job to spread rumors about me to my own boyfriend?
Liza: It wasn’t a rumor. I spoke with your former campaign manager.
Quinn: Former? No, she still works for me, and you better believe when I announce my run for governor, it’s not going to be a two-bit book party like this.
Liza: You set me up.
Quinn: You set yourself up. You act like you’re trying to protect Charles. All you are doing is hurting him by holding on.

KT: She’s great, Josh. You’re great.
Josh: But…
KT: But I’m not ready for the whole insta family thing. It’s just more than I can handle right now.
Josh: I’m sorry. I wish I would have said something sooner, but I don’t know. I was having so much fun with you.
KT: And I always had so much fun with you.

Charles: She sounds like a great choice for another publisher. Right now we are focused on blockbusters. It’s not the time for literary fiction.
Kelsey: Seriously, you’re not even gonna read the book?
Charles: The board will be reluctant to disrupt a proven formula. Chicago wants bestsellers. James Pattersons charts higher than literary debuts. It’s business, and I’m sorry. It sounds like you’ve already taken a personal interest in her.
Liza: No, you’re right. This isn't the right fit for Empirical. If Millennial was still the flagship, we probably wouldn’t even be asking for approval. Millennial loved nothing more than young, green authors, but this is Empirical, isn’t it?
Charles: It is.
Liza: Right. We humbly withdraw our proposal. Apologies for wasting your time.

Kelsey: Hey, what was that? You totally flipped the script on me. We could have convinced him.
Liza: I know. I’m sorry, but that wasn’t me giving up. Dylan is our author. She deserves better.
Kelsey: Our author? Inkcubator can’t offer her a book deal.
Liza: I know, but talking about how it’s this incredible wellspring for us, something that we built on our own, felt so familiar.
Kelsey: It felt like Millennial.
Liza: I don’t have a plan yet, but I’ll work on it. We will, right?
Kelsey: You know you’re kinda my hero.
