Quotes1

  • Alex Thacker: The copy should have been assigned to me, but Gary assigned it to Stacey.
  • Don Keefer: [to the HR rep] Once I give it to Gary, Gary gets to make that call.
  • Alex Thacker: Based on merit, not based on who he prefers to sleep with at any particular moment.
  • Gary Cooper: I'm not sleeping and I've never slept with Stacey.
  • Alex Thacker: That may or may not be, but probably is a lie.
  • [beat]
  • Alex Thacker: What we know for sure is Gary flirted with me, hit on me, took me out five times, slept with me twice, and then dumped me in a pile with the rest of the staffers he's used for his pleasure.
  • Don Keefer: I can't emphasize this enough. This is the new HR rep.
  • Alex Thacker: And I'm fine with all of that.
  • Don Keefer: So we're cool.
  • Wyatt Geary: No.
  • Alex Thacker: What I am not fine with is being passed over for an assignment at work because I exercised poor judgment in my personal life.
  • Gary Cooper: I gave it to her because she's better at this kind of thing.
  • Alex Thacker: What kind of thing?
  • Gary Cooper: The intersection of pop culture and the Holocaust. That might sound crazy.
  • Don Keefer: It did.
  • Gary Cooper: Look, I've gone out with several of the women in this building.
  • Don Keefer: Maybe you don't understand what HR does.
  • Alex Thacker: You're saying Stacey is a better writer than I am?
  • Gary Cooper: She's a different writer than you.
  • Alex Thacker: Different? Like I'm tired of this one, so I'll try a different one?
  • Don Keefer: I told Gary to give it to Stacey, all right? He is covering for me. I told him to give it to her because she is a better writer than you are.
  • Alex Thacker: Well, what am I supposed to do?
  • Don Keefer: Write better. That's it. Thank you both.
