• Rhoda Morgenstern : [Mary's cooking dinner for Stephen- her soon-to-arrive, and of-undermined age date. Rhoda asks Mary if Stephen's age bugs her]  Listen, there are ways to find out his age.

  Mary Richards : [Mary's doorbell rings]  How?

  Stephen Linder : [From outside Mary's apartment door]  Can I come in? The wine and me have to be served at room temperature.

• Mary Richards : [Mary's looking at a rack of clothes in Shot Down, in Ecuador, Jr., insisting she'll find a *hip-looking* outfit to wear to Stephen's house party, Rhoda - thinking Mary's totally wrong about it all, tries - tactfully - to dissuade her best friend]  I've got to find something to wear to the party Stephen's taking me to.

  Rhoda Morgenstern : But I like the stuff in your *regular* places. Usually, *you* like the stuff in your regular places.

  Mary Richards : I'm having trouble finding my size.

  Rhoda Morgenstern : Oh, Mary, this place doesn't use anything as mundane as *sizes*. These clothes are divided according to astrological signs. You, my dear, take a *bull*.

• Mary Richards : [Mary and Rhoda walk into Shot Down In Ecuador, Jr, The * hip* clothing store Mary thinks she'll find an outfit to wear to Stephens party Mary starts looking at stuff on a rack, and pulls a top down to look at]  Hey, this is kind it's cute, don't you think?

• Rhoda Morgenstern : [after Stephen invites Mary to a party at his place, she takes Rhoda along to a *'hip* clothing store - even though Rhoda's against it all. As Mary's looking at stuff on a rack, Rhoda tries to ask the salesgirl about the store's *unique* name]  Miss; what's the name of this store?

  Salesgirl : [Acting totally disinterested in everything but the book she's reading, she mumbles almost silently to Rhoda]  'Shot Down in Ecuador, Junior'.

  Rhoda Morgenstern : What? I can't hear you.

  Salesgirl : [the salesgirl looks directly at Rhoda and speaks in the wrong way one thinks you'd talk to a foreigner or hard of hearing person; slowly, and over-enunciating each word]  'Shot - Down... in Ecuador, Junior'.

  Rhoda Morgenstern : What does that mean?

  Salesgirl : Well, you know;

  [Rhoda shakes her head 'no'] 

  Salesgirl : hey.

  [Smiling facætiously] 

  Salesgirl : I just work here, you know?

  [Rhoda smiles - facætiously - back, and walks towards Mary]
