Matt: Yeah?
Danny: I did.
Matt: Indiana? Illinois? Missouri? Are rebel forces gathering?
Danny: No.
Matt: Then why are we praying for peace in the Midwest?

...
[Jordan arrives with some ironic congratulations.]
Jordan: I saw the end... and I think we should all take a moment to consider the suffering in Des Moines.

[Matt worries about a focus-group report that criticizes the show's patriotism.]

[Stuck on the roof with Danny, Jordan can't understand why he's so upset about Harriet's premature "funny voice" promo.]
Jordan: It's not the end of the world!
Danny: No, it's not. But it's a continuation of the one-sheet world.
Jordan: What's a one-sheet world?
Danny: You know, a movie poster, a one-sheet. "I think we'll do the Green Lantern -- I can see the one-sheet now. Don't worry that we don't have a story -- we're gonna make all our money before word-of-mouth can kill us, anyway." We elect Presidents the same way. "He's got a big name, he'll raise money, he'll get the nomination! We'll teach him how to be President later!"

[The press questions the team about Danny's drug history.]
Reporter: Jordan, did you know about this when you hired him?

[Tom is dismayed about his parents' imminent visit to the studio.]
Tom: I'm gonna show them around the studio, and when we say goodnight, I swear to God, my father's gonna ask me if I need any money, and it is going to take everything I've got not to point out to him I could buy his house four times and turn it into my ping-pong room.
Simon: I would resist that urge.

We'll be the very model of a modern network TV show.
Each time that we walk into this august and famous studio
We're starting out from scratch after a run of 20 years, and so
We hope that you don't mind that our producer was caught doing blow.
