- [gets up]
- Derek Wills: You need to tell her to back off.
- Karen Cartwright: No, I don't.
- Derek Wills: Well, at least tell her that she's gonna destroy her own career as well as mine if she doesn't stop this.
- Karen Cartwright: Well, maybe some things are more important than a career. Like self-respect.
- Derek Wills: Yeah, maybe.
- [sighs]
- Derek Wills: Look, Ana is a talented girl. If she's patient, things will pick up for her.

- Eileen Rand: No, Jerry, I'm saving it for your funeral.

- Karen Cartwright: She's going public.
