Sterling Script Lines - S3: Episode 12
1) Lane, about why Pete didn't get the promotion: It's become apparent you are excellent at making our clients feel their needs are being met. Mr. Cosgrove has the rare gift of making them feel as if they haven't any needs.
2) Mona, to Margaret about Jane coming to the wedding: She's coming, because your father's coming and he paid for everything. You're having the wedding. The bride will not be burned. Turn those earrings into a tea service or something. 3) Pete: Lane told me Kenny is senior something of accounts and I'm not. I'm head of accounts something. I couldn't even hear. All I saw was his frog-like mouth flapping. 4) Pete to Harry: I found out that Head of Accounts is going to Kenny and his haircut. 5) Roger: Feel free to have the prime rib and the filet of sole. Help yourself. I mean that - there are no waiters. 6) Jane, about JFK: He was so handsome, and now I'll never get to vote for him. 7) Peggy: My roommate invited half the building over to write condolence letters to Jackie. Then I went to my sister's, and my mother was crying and praying so hard there wasn't room for anyone else to feel anything. 8) Henry: Listen, I'm not in love with the tragedy of this thing. It's not Romeo and Juliet. I want it to happen. 9) Don: Everything's gonna be okay. We have a new president, and we're all gonna be sad for a little bit. And on Monday, there's going to be a funeral. Bobby: Are we going to the funeral? 10) Trudy: Have you been drinking? Pete: The whole country's drinking! |

Things We Should Have Said
- We mentioned that Henry's daughter tells Margaret she's as beautiful as Natalie Wood, who was a major star at the time. We should have added that Elizabeth Rice, who plays Margaret, also played teenage Natalie Wood in the movie, The Mystery of Natalie Wood.
