Quotes

Tom: So, next up on the hit parade, we get to decide which banks to bail out.
Selina: Well, I hope to fiscal f**k the fed has a trillion dollars stuffed in a mattress somewhere.

Selina: At least when Truman made the decision to drop the bomb, he wasn't f**king anyone in Hiroshima.
Ben: That we know of.

Selina: We need a Jonah whisperer, except somebody who's gonna, like, yell in his face and call him stupid.

Mike: Hey, how about an $80 in-home massage for 40 bucks?
Dan: With release?
Mike: No.
Dan: Then what's the point?

Jonah: Are you even getting any of this?
Catherine: Getting what?
Jonah: I was looking thoughtfully out the window. Some straight up JFK level shit.
Catherine: I was just getting some B-roll of the fax machine.

Selina: What would you guys do if you had to choose between your c**k and your balls?
Ben: I could lose them both. I mean, at this stage they're purely decorative.

Bill Ericsson: Tell the president no hard feelings. Oh, wait, that's right. I do have hard feelings. I'm consumed by them.

Leon: You should watch out, Amy. You don't want to be the face of C**tgate. Although you do have the perfect face for it.

Richard: Some bands we haven't used have sent some preemptive cease-and-desist orders. Sting, Bruce Springsteen... sent two letters, actually... and Enya.
Jonah: Enya? Send her a f**king cease-and-desist letter.

Tom: If we don't put a plan into action tomorrow morning, then by Monday we will be Greece. The country, not the musical.

Ben: I got an idea. You can clear your head out and have a little fun at the same time.
Selina: What?
Ben: Yeah, I'll call Jonah and Dan and you can tear them a six-pack of new assholes.
Selina: Oh, that does sound like fun.
(Ben makes the call)
Ben: Dan, you're on with the president.
Selina: Dan, I cannot f**king believe how terrible you are at your job. What, are you running on a platform of higher taxes and episiotomies?
Dan: Ma'am, we just... we need a little time.
Selina: Put that world's tallest pile of garbage on the phone right now.
Dan: It's the president. (hands the phone to Jonah)
Jonah: Hello, ma'am.
Selina: Hey, hunchback. I don't know what you've been doing instead of trying to win, but I'm gonna guess that it has the word anal in it. Now, you learn to control your co**sucking temper, otherwise I'm gonna come up there myself and I'm gonna shoot you in your f**king mouth.

Amy: (referring to Selina) She's becoming seriously unhinged. She has gone full metal Nixon.

Ben: Who do you think said it?
Amy: Well, we did. Me and Mike.
Ben: Oh, my God. I thought it was me.
Mike: No way.
Ben: No, I'm pretty sure I called her a c**t to the reporter who broke the story.
(Kent enters)
Kent: Amy, it's probable that your investigation has already determined that I was the one that called her a c**t. I'm hoping that my utility to the organization gives you reason to protect me on this. Also our friendship.
(Gary enters)
Gary: Hey, Ben?
Ben: Gary.
Gary: It was me. I called the president the C word.
Ben: No, you didn't.
Amy: Really?
Gary: I was so mad about her not wearing sunscreen, which is stupid, and I was like, "What an old crone."
Amy: A what?
Gary: An old crone, Amy.
Amy: Gary, C is for c**t.
Gary: What?
Amy: We all called her a c**t.
Gary: Oh, my God! What is wrong with you people?
