The Morning Show Quotes

Alex: OK, well, here’s what I want. Double my development slate, profit participation, and a seat on the board.
Cory: Alllexxxx.
Alex: You now that it’s time. I have earned this, Cory. Come on.
Cory: Yeah, what you are asking is, uh, unprecedented.
Alex: I am unprecedented.

Paul: What, what is this Alex Levy magic? Can you explain this to me?
Cory: She’s a survivor. That’s it. That’s what people want to see right now. I mean, she got the broken marriage, she got the predation of the creepy co-anchor, and then she suffers through a biblical plague on live TV to become the one human that people can actually relate to in this shit show of a so-called democracy. I did not discover Alex, but I did bring her back from the dead. So, to your question, Alex Levy is Lazarus, and that makes me Jesus, except I’m in more houses seven days a week.
Paul: Well, I hate to break it to ya, Jesus, but here’s your problem. You’re over-leveraged—no more loaves and fishes for you. You need a miracle, and buddy, I’m it.
