Lucy KelsonYou know what. Sex. There's no way you're getting... that. No.
George WadeWell, that would be nice. But what I really need is a new chief counsel.
Lucy Kelson[beat]Honestly, I think I'd rather have the sex.

George WadeI need your advice on one last thing, then I promise you will never hear from me again. You see, I've just delivered the first speech I've written entirely by myself since we met, and I think I may have blown it. I want to ask your thoughts. Okay? Then I will read it to you. I'd like to welcome everyone on this special day. Island Towers will bring glamour and prestige to the neighborhood and become part of Brooklyn's renaissance. And I'm very pleased and proud to be here. Unfortunately, there is one fly in the ointment. You see, I gave my word to someone that we wouldn't knock down this building behind me. And normally, and those of you who know me or were married to me can attest to this, my word wouldn't mean very much. So why does it this time? Well, partly because this building is an architectural gem and deserves to be landmarked and partly because people really do need a place to do senior's water ballet and CPR. Preferably not together. But mainly because this person, despite being unusually stubborn and unwilling to compromise and a very poor dresser, is... she's rather like the building she loves so much. A little rough around the edges but, when you look closely, absolutely beautiful. And the only one of her kind. And even though I've said cruel things and driven her away, she's become the voice in my head. And I can't seem to drown her out. And I don't want to drown her out. So, we are going to keep the community center. Because I gave my word to her and because we gave our word to the community. And I didn't sleep with June. That's not in the speech, that's just me letting you know that important fact. What do you think?
George Wade[talking about Lucy's mother]Yes, she is terrifying. I thought she was going to kill me and feed me to the poor.

Paul the Attorney[Lucy is in an interview for a job]Actually, our prosecuting attorney who quit yesterday called this morning and decided to come back.

Lucy Kelson[talking on the phone with a girl George met at the bar]The man you're dancing with is deeply troubled. You're much too young to be trading yourself like a stock on the Nasdaq to a man who will not be remembering your name... or his in the morning, is still married, and recently developed a very suspicious rash. Now go home, finish high school and reach your potential!

Meryl BrooksCome on, I've known you since Brownies, and the only time I ever saw you cry was when Bush won.
Lucy KelsonGeorge, I have an ulcer, I don't sleep well, mostly because you keep calling me in the middle of the night, and if you don't call me I dream that you're gonna call me. I think about you in the shower
[George gives her a look]
Lucy Kelson...not in a good way, but in an I'm-so-distracted-I-can't-remember-if-I-washed-my-hair kinda way - so I'll wash my hair twice! So I have a hole in my stomach, I'm running out of shampoo and today is the first day in my life that I did not give a thousand percent on the job. And I hate that feeling.

George Wade[showing up late to his divorce hearing]Sorry everyone. Did I miss the blessed event?

Lucy KelsonThat was really a nice speech you just made, and I'm really going to miss everyone here at Wade. Um... there are a million memories I wouldn't trade. And if you're ever accused of murder you can find me at Legal Aid.

Lucy KelsonMr. Wade, so sorry to bother. I've been going over the Environmental Impact Reports for Island Towers. I would really love to talk with you.
George WadeThis is a linen finish and this is a watermarked vellum finish.
