Winston: Look, man... you got to understand something about the long "D". At first, it's very hard. Okay? It's a lot to take. But the long "D" in the end is... [chuckling] very much worth it.

Jess: You think that your audience is entirely made of, like...
Nick: Blue-collar nautical workers on the coastline of Maine. I don't think that, Jess, I know that.
