• [Mary and Lou are discussing the evening's lineup] 

  Mary Richards : And we managed to get an on-the-spot report of the raid of that porno theater downtown, which we can use in the news tonight.

  Lou Grant : Terrific! How did you do that?

  Mary Richards : Luck. Some of our crew just happened to be in the theater at the time.

• Sue Ann Nivens : Mary, do yourself a favor and sleep on it.

  Mary Richards : I don't have to. I really don't. My mind's already made up.

  Sue Ann Nivens : Are you sure? I mean, think what it would mean to do my show every week instead of working in that news room. No more deadline pressure.

  Mary Richards : I'm sure.

  Sue Ann Nivens : And no more puny little salary.

  Mary Richards : I'm really sure.

  Sue Ann Nivens : Mo more long hours.

  Mary Richards : No, really, positive.

  Sue Ann Nivens : No more Ted Baxter.

  Mary Richards : Okay, I'll sleep on it.

• Mary Richards : Tell him to stand up to Sue Ann, not to let her push him around.

  Lou Grant : Why don't you tell him?

  Mary Richards : Because I think he should hear it from someone stronger, someone forceful, tough.

  Lou Grant : Why don't you get Sue Ann to tell him?
