Movie Star : I know.
Felicity : I know you know.
Movie Star : I wrote a negative recommendation to Sony.

Felicity : You can tell us. Are we all really dying tonight?
Katherine : It doesn't work if you live.
Anne : What doesn't work?
Katherine : The menu.
Felicity : Why not?
Katherine : It needs an ending... That ties everything together conceptually. Otherwise, it just tastes good, and who cares.
Lillian : I mean, really, you should have your own place. Right? And I could help you with that.
Katherine : I'm sure you could, Ms. Bloom.
Lillian : I could. I could. We, we would just have to talk about the, the, you know, the... the dying thing.
Katherine : Oh, everyone dying was my pitch, actually. I'm super proud of it.

Chef Slowik : In this spirit, please enjoy the unaccompanied accompaniments.
Felicity : "The bread you will not be eating tonight was made from a heritage wheat called red fife, crafted with our partners at the Tehachapi Grain Project devoted to preserving heirloom grains." This is insane.
Movie Star : Mmm! I gotta say that the shit around the total absence of the bread is, like, really good.
-
Felicity : Not gonna serve bread at a restaurant known for their bread. That's sweet.
-
Felicity : How is it?
Movie Star : Mmm. It's good.
Felicity : You can't just say 'good' for the show. You have to... You have to embellish.
Movie Star : Oh, my God. For crying out loud. It's not brain surgery, okay?
Felicity : I know. Okay, so then, do it.
Movie Star : It's a goddamn travel-food show.
Felicity : Yeah, yeah. So pitch it to me.
Movie Star : Okay, so we go to Italy, right?
Felicity : Mmm-hmm.
Movie Star : We shoot me in capri pants on a pastel green Vespa, driving around to get to some Giuseppe's farm with cheese. I eat the cheese, and then... There's a close-up of me. And I close my eyes, and I fake an orgasm, and then off to South Africa, and then, I maybe... I talk about how racism is not so cool, and bingo bongo, Emmy time.

Felicity : Then why don't you go talk to him? Go talk to him! Because you know him, right?
Movie Star : I made that up.
Felicity : Why?
Movie Star : Because I'm a name-dropping whore. That's why, okay?
