- Griffin Mill: I report to you. If I have to report to Larry Levy, I quit.

- Griffin Mill: Why Levy?
- Joel Levison: Levy was available. He's good on material, you're good with writers. We're a team. He's a new member of the team, that's all. He can make us all look good.

- Griffin Mill: [brusquely] I'll get back to you.
