Quotes 

• Nancy Krieger Weston : So, where are they?

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : Michael just left.

  Nancy Krieger Weston : They should be here by now.

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : She'll be here when she gets here. And then you can all get a good look at Emily. And you can laugh and act 16 and giggle, and embarrass yourselves to your hearts' content.

• Hope Murdoch Steadman : Maybe I shouldn't have told you.

  Nancy Krieger Weston : No, no. I mean, I went out on a date. Uh, Michael told Elliot, and I mean, you know, this is all supposed to be okay. Elliot is dating. I wonder what that's like to date Elliot. I mean, we never dated. We slept together the second night we knew each other, and then he moved right into my dorm room. And now it's 14 years later and Elliot's dating. Elliot is dating the woman I am having lunch with today. Oh, this is so weird. Why did you tell me this?

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : How could I not tell you?

  Nancy Krieger Weston : Well, now that you've told me, how am I supposed to act with her?

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : You said it was okay.

  Nancy Krieger Weston : Yes, Hope, but that doesn't mean that it's okay. I mean, I was all set to be very adult-like and talk about my work, and-and I promised myself that I wouldn't equivocate or deflect any compliments if there were any.

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : Nancy, I'm sorry. I had no idea when I invited this woman to stay here that she was gonna put the moves on your husband.

• Hope Murdoch Steadman : I don't know. It's so ridiculous. I mean, I came out of the bathroom, and Michael was gone. He must have gone downstairs and asked her to leave, because I woke up this morning and she was packing. A cab came and took her away. So, I won.

  Nancy Krieger Weston : What did you win?

  Hope Murdoch Steadman : Well, I got him to do something he didn't want to do, so I won. Does that sound as pathetic as it feels?
