Dick: Nina, do you think I'm whipped?
Nina: "Whipped"?
Dick: I know, it's crazy.
Nina: [chuckles] By Dr. Albright?
Dick: What was I thinking?
Nina: Dr. Solomon?
Dick: Yes, Nina.
Nina: You are wrapped around that woman's finger like a yo-yo. And she is always walking the dog.

Nina: Look, Sally, if you're gonna work for Dr. Albright, there are a couple of things you need to understand. One: she doesn't like to be corrected when she's wrong. And two: she's often wrong.
Sally: Wait, wait. So I shouldn't tell her her breath smells like a sock full of horseradish?
Nina: I didn't.

Nina: Quality time? You actually said "quality time"?
Mary: Well, I was just trying to define-
Nina: Is that what we talked about? Is that what we talked about?!
Mary: No.
Nina: When a man hears "quality time," he thinks it means rub your feet while you watch the Lifetime channel.
Mary: [whining] Well, what am I supposed to do?
Nina: [mocking] What am I supposed to do? You have really lost it. You have lost your groove thing. Come on! Blow smoke up his ego, make him want you.
Mary: I don't know.
Nina: You are Mary Albright. You flirt shamelessly. That's what you're famous for.
Mary: I am?
Nina: Mm-hmm.
Mary: I am.
Nina: Now, you go out there and live up to your trashy reputation.

Nina: Oh, you have finally lost it!
Dick: Harsh medicine, I know, but it's what you need.
Nina: This job is what I need. This job pays for my health insurance, and I get to take free classes.
Dick: Nina, sweetheart, trust me. I know what's best for you.
Nina: You don't know what's best for me. You don't even know me. You think I'm some little helpless Black girl who can't make it in the world without the help of some enlightened White guy showing her the way.
Dick: And you say I don't know you.
Nina: Dr. Solomon, when I look at you, I don't see color. I see a jackass. Good night.

[on Mary's film:]
Nina: I'm not surprised Harry has a drinking problem. Being around Dr. Solomon messes people up in the head. You should know. You're sleeping with him. I bet you don't have the guts to put that in your film.
[to camera, on film:]
Mary: Yes, I do have the guts.

Nina: You know, I'm not feeling too great. If it's okay with you, I'm gonna go home and get into bed.
Mary: Oh, of course it's okay with me. And if you don't feel well tomorrow, don't bother coming in.
Dick: Whoa, whoa, whoa! She can't stay home tomorrow. It's a workday. I want you to feel better, Nina, but coffee doesn't just magically float into my cup.
Nina: I'll leave some coffee in the machine.
Dick: No, no, no. I don't drink day-old coffee.
Nina: Yes, you do. [exits]

Mary: Nina, what are you looking for?
Nina: It's Wednesday, and Dr. Solomon get's all bent out of shape if the angry eyes aren't in his Mr. Potato Man.
Mary: You shouldn't have to do things like that for Dick. That's degrading.
Nina: And it's not degrading to go out with him?
Dick: [enters] Nina, it's Wednesday. Where are the angry eyes? [Nina glares at Dick] Oh, there they are.

Nina: Hey, Albright, what's the deal here?
Mary: I can tell you anything, right?
Nina: Well, you have.
Mary: Dick is an alien, and I'm going to travel with him on a spaceship and be the size of a trophy.
Nina: Okay, go easy on the champagne. I'm not driving you home again. I just finished shampooing my carpets from the last time.

Nina: Dr. Albright, you know, if you take the leash off a dog, it will go in the neighbors' yard.

Nina: Good morning, Dr. Solomon.
Dick: Ah, Nina.
Nina: Here's your mail. This is nothing. Nothing. This is something, but there's nothing you can do about it. This is an invitation to a party at the Dean's house. This is nothing. [to Tommy] And if you don't stop staring at whatever it is you're watching, you're gonna lose something.
