- Lou Grant: If it had nothing to do with Art Donovan, would we even be considering it?
- Charlie Hume: You bet we would!
- Lou Grant: Ah...
- Charlie Hume: A co-ed, an art student, killed in her apartment by a guy who was just released from a state hospital? You bet your rear end we'd cover it, we would be all over it!
- Lou Grant: What's the penalty for second degree murder?
- Billie Newman: Five, six or seven years.
- Joe Rossi: Fifteen years to life.
- Billie Newman: No Rossi, it's a determinant sentence.
- Joe Rossi: A lawyer told me!
- Billie Newman: A lawyer told me, they just changed the law.
- Joe Rossi: That's right and you have the old numbers.
- Lou Grant: Hold it, hold it! Remind me not to ask you guys questions unless you can agree on the anwers.
- Joe Rossi: Lou, this party I'm having for Danny Richilin in a couple of weeks is getting really big.
- Lou Grant: [unenthousiastic] Terrific. You want me to bring something?
- Joe Rossi: No, no, no that's ok, but there is one thing you can do, though...
- Lou Grant: What?
- Joe Rossi: Can you let me have it at your place?
- Lou Grant: [unpleasantly surprised] My place?
- Joe Rossi: Well, yeah, I just got this small apartment. You've got a dining room, a living room...
- Lou Grant: [getting angry] That's true!
- Joe Rossi: Good. Someday, if you throw a small party, you can have it at my place.
