where's her grave? - hey, greg, greg! can i talk to you about something? - i'm not buying any more of your candy bars, carol. i know it's a scam, and you're not on a basketball team. - it's about the staff. i wanna know why people aren't friends around here. it's a problem! - look, i'm sorry no one went to your karaoke party. - it's not just about karaoke. it's people's bad 'tudes! it's really affecting the work--look! nobody even showed up for staff photo! it's not normal, greg. i talked to the intern from "morning wined up" and their staff hangs out all the time. - you want us to be more like "morning wined up" with kelly and mary-kelly. - okay, now i like this duvet. - put it in your cart! put it in your cart! [both laughing] - mary-kelly, you are the reason the bank took my house. ha ha ha! what am i saying? i don't have a house. i don't need a duvet.

- carol, leave me alone. i'm just trying to make it to the weekend. - okay, here's the rundown. so i did some more research on the suberbug, and-- - you know what? why don't you swing by my office after the show, and we'll talk about it. - okay. - what. did a pen explode on my face again? you know what? i don't care. i'm not gonna stop chewing 'em. - you're sleeping with chuck. - wha-ha-ha-ha! oh, my god! i would never. my body is a temple, and by that i mean i let a lotta jewish guys in. but seriously, though, chuck asked me to produce a piece because, you know, he thinks i'm doing a good job. he seems something in me. - yeah. himself. - all right... - not to generalize, but in the history of all time, a man has never helped a woman... not without an ulterior motive. - what are you talking about? men have helped women plenty of times. they, um... in... beast helps belle.
