  • Will Hayes: [hands Summer a bouquet of flowers] These are for you.

    Summer Hartley: Oh, Will! Oh, they're beautiful. So are you.

    Summer Hartley: Really?

    Will Hayes: Yeah, it's gonna be great. And then you're gonna sweep me off my feet, and we all know where that's going.

    Will Hayes: Yeah she can, but I just don't really have time for the pain.

  • [about an article Summer has written about Will's boss]

    Will Hayes: There's one part that kinda bothered me. "William Hayes, Robredo's chief speech writer, is both intense and boyishly handsome." *Boyishly*?

  • [about Hampton Roth]

    Summer Hartley: He died last year. You heard?

    Will Hayes: I read about it in the Times. Died in his office. Heart attack?

    Summer Hartley: Yeah.

    Will Hayes: I always imagined that he'd make a more theatrical exit.

    Summer Hartley: What they didn't say was he was on the couch with the dean's daughter.

  • Will Hayes: That's Hampton Roth! He's an incredible writer! His book on the McGovern campaign is...

    Summer Hartley: Yeah.

    Will Hayes: And you...

    Summer Hartley: Yeah. We do. Look, have you ever actually had sex with a sexagenarian?

    Will Hayes: I haven't.

    Summer Hartley: Well then, you shouldn't really judge.

    Will Hayes: Well, actually, I'm not judging. Look at you. You're beautiful, you're sophisticated, you're a very talented writer.

    Summer Hartley: Thank you.

    Will Hayes: I mean, to please a woman like you it wouldn't obviously take a...

    Summer Hartley: Real man.

    Will Hayes: Exactly. Hard to compete with that.

    Summer Hartley: Well, unless you're the competitive type.

  • Hampton Roth: Beauty, ideals, love, don't mean squat anymore. It's all about power and money.

    Will Hayes: I've read every single one of your books and you're completely obsessed with power and money.

    Summer Hartley: Oh, well that's because he doesn't have any. Right, babe?

    Hampton Roth: Babe, I am about the love.

    Summer Hartley: Oh. Yes.

    Hampton Roth: As you know, that's why you keep me around, to keep that rampant rapacious ambition of yours in check.

    [to Will]

    Hampton Roth: I have a thought! Why don't you use that newly acquired scintilla of power and influence to get Summer here to write an article about your man Robredo? That way Summer gets a break, and you get the word out.

    Will Hayes: And what do you get, Hampton?

    Summer Hartley: Yeah!

    Hampton Roth: Well, I guess it's the love. More of the love.

  • Summer Hartley: You know what I've never done? I've never spent the whole day in bed with a really great guy.

    Will Hayes: Me neither.

  • Hampton Roth: It's killing me that you're going out with the kid.

    Summer Hartley: Really? It's not the booze or the cigarettes or the sophomores?

    Hampton Roth: That has nothing to do with this.

    Summer Hartley: Nothing to do with it.

    Hampton Roth: Listen, I want you to know I've donated my organs to medical science except for one, which is for you.

    Summer Hartley: Sweetie, that's so kind.

    [looks down towards the torso]

    Hampton Roth: No, no, not that.

    [points to his chest]

    Hampton Roth: My heart, stupid.

    [Summer laughs]

  • Hampton Roth: Can I have a cigarette? Just a dying man's last request.

    Summer Hartley: Not happening. God, you're such a drama queen. Nobody's dying. What do you care if I'm in love with him, huh? You're the one who set us up, remember.

    Hampton Roth: Yeah, well, I kind of figured you'd chew him up and spit him out.

    Summer Hartley: You're such a sweetie. You're a sweet guy, you know that?

    Hampton Roth: I read the Robredo piece.

    Summer Hartley: Yeah.

    Hampton Roth: The guy's been in New York politics for over 20 years and all you can dig up is that his daughter had an eating disorder?

    Summer Hartley: What are you saying, Hampton?

    Hampton Roth: Do your job.

  • Hampton Roth: Please tell me you're not in love with him

    Summer Hartley: I can't do that.
