• Lou Grant : [Lou hasn't announced who from the newsroom will go on the Chicago junket. Sue Ann comes into his office, and tells Lou she's going, and wants him to go as well]  I didn't know you were going.

  Sue Ann Nivens : I wouldn't miss a chance like this! 3 days... and nights, in the city where I had my first program. It was a cooking show, called; 'Let's Talk About Meat'.

• Mary Richards : I was just telling Ted and Murray about my weekend in Chicago

  [with Sue Ann at the Broadcasters' Convention] 

  Lou Grant : Uh huh... sounded like you girls were having quite a time.

  Mary Richards : Oh yeah, well I wanted to explain to you about that phone call.

  Lou Grant : Oh don't feel you have anything to explain to me Mary.

  Mary Richards : No, no, no Mr. Grant, really I would like to.

  Lou Grant : Why? Because when I called you, all I could hear was shrieks and giggles and the sound of drunken laughter?

  Mary Richards : No Mr. Grant, really there is a perfectly logical explanation for what you heard.

  Lou Grant : Oh really Mary - and what is it?

  Mary Richards : We were having an orgy.
