[referring to the news footage of a fat woman being given electroshock therapy]
This is totally at odds with the work that I've been doing, it's exploitative!

[George and Steve are both on live television arguing about the station's new weather computer]
Boy, you really mucked things up with that rain storm last week didn't you?
Steve
Yes, well like any new technology it does have its kinks.
George
Just kind of makes you look like a liar, Steve.
Steve
Well I think you know that I'm not George. You know, I'd like to see you jump over here into the hot seat one night and see how it feels.
George
That sounds like fun, actually.
Steve
I'm sure it does.

Christine
Hey, you know what, Mike, just cause your wife has a drinking problem doesn't mean that you get to treat me like this. That's on you! Don't put it on me. That's on you.
Michael
Are you...?
Christine
I'm just trying to do my best for this station and it isn't easy.

Are you fucking kidding me? Are *you* fucking kidding me? You fucked up... again! And now you insult me, you insult my family? You know, I've got half my savings invested in this station and I believe in it. What do you believe in? What are you doing to make a mark?

You and I have been working together for over a year now and we've never gone out and had a drink together.

Well, I don't really drink.
George
Well, you know what I mean.
Christine
Well, you've never asked me.
George
You're not always the most approachable person, Chubbuck.

Oh, I am approachable. Maybe you just don't know how to approach me.
