Mary Tyler Moore: Mary Richards

Quotes 

• Lou Grant : Do you forgive me?

  Mary Richards : No.

  Lou Grant : What would it take for you to forgive me?

  Mary Richards : You tell Sue Ann you lied, you tell her it was your idea, you tell her you're sorry, you tell me you're sorry, and you promise me you will never put me in a position like that again.

  Lou Grant : Ah, to hell with it.

• Mary Richards : Mr. Grant! Will you LOOK at what you are doing?

• Lou Grant : From now on, you're going to be totally in charge of hiring people. When you want to hire somebody, you don't have to check with me. It will be your decision.

  Mary Richards : Wow.

  Lou Grant : And if you don't want to hire someone, that'll be your decision too.

  Mary Richards : Uh huh.

  Lou Grant : Do you think you can handle that, Mary?

  Mary Richards : Mr. Grant, I know I can.

  Lou Grant : Good. Sue Ann wants a job in the newsroom.
