Emily Mortimer: MacKenzie McHale

Quotes 

• MacKenzie McHale : I need you to change my Wikipedia page.

  Neal Sampat : Sure.

  MacKenzie McHale : I checked, and for some reason, it says I was president of the Oxford Union.

  Neal Sampat : Weren't you?

  MacKenzie McHale : [Disapprovingly]  No. I went to Cambridge.

  Neal Sampat : Right. I knew that.

  MacKenzie McHale : Do you know who else went to Cambridge? John Milton, Charles Darwin, Jane Goodall, Alan Turing, E.M. Forster, Stephen Hawking, the King of Jordan, Prime Minister of India, and three signatories to the Declaration of Independence.

  Will McAvoy : Mac, I wonder if you can switch me off. You're screaming names of smart people in my ear.

  MacKenzie McHale : Sorry.

  Will McAvoy : They teach you that at Oxford?

• Neal Sampat : I know how you feel.

  MacKenzie McHale : I don't think you do. Because, no one's out there saying you were president of the Oxford Union when you were president of the Cambridge Union, the greatest debating society in the history of the fucking kingdom. And that kingdom's been around a long time.

  Neal Sampat : Don't I know it.

  MacKenzie McHale : I don't even know if that was a sarcastic geopolitical reference to colonialism or not.

  Neal Sampat : It wasn't.
