Jess Quote #1288
Quote from Jess in Tuesday Meeting
Jess: Ugh, Russell, I know you're probably mad at me for many reasons. One you might not know about is that my friend did indeed get sick in the receptionist's desk drawer.
Russell: I just wanted to say...
Jess: No, I wanted to say that this morning I was ready to quit.
Russell: Wait, you're gonna quit?
Jess: But I decided not to, because I know I can really make a difference for these schools if you will let me. I know I was wrong about the meeting, but you have to admit, you haven't given me any real work to do.
Russell: That's true.
Jess: Why is that? Do you not think of me as an equal? Because if that's the case, that needs to change.
Russell: No, that's not it at all. Jess, it's just that you're new here, and I've got a lot of trust issues. Probably from my third wife, Jackie. In fact, we were just discussing it in the divorced dad...
Jess: Wait, I thought your fourth wife was named Jackie.
Russell: I married two women named Jackie.
Jess: Back-to-back?
Russell: Yeah. They were related. It's complicated. Look, I got to make this right. I hired you because I feel like you're exactly the right person to get stuff done around here. So I guess it's time for me to just let go and let you do that.
Jess: You won't regret it.
Russell: All right.
Jess: Also, while we're here talking, we need some tampons in the bathroom.

‘Tuesday Meeting’ Quotes
Quote from Cece
Cece: Every woman has a "Tuesday meeting" they haven't been invited to. How many times in your life have you been excluded from something important or talked over or ignored because you're the only woman in the room? It was different when I was running my own company, but ever since we joined with GKM, I've had to start dealing with this male-pattern dumbness.
[flashback:]
Ken: Ugh. What is that?
Cece: It's a breast pump, Ken. I said I needed time to pump, and you refused to change the meeting, so here we are. Now, for the jeans campaign. Which one of these guys says, "I'm having fun in Toronto"? [pumping continues]
[present:]
Cece: So, for half an hour, they had to sit there and watch me get milked like a freaking cow.
Jess: Oh, yeah, your nipples looked like pizza bagels in that thing.
Cece: Yeah, they do.
Quote from Winston
Winston: You know something, I used to think that Nick was the Guttenberg, but it turns out he may be the little lady.
Quote from Cece
Cece: Wait, so, you're saying that you're doing Russell's busywork? That you, Jessica Day, former principal of an entire school, is doing his busywork? Nah, girl. Nah, hold up. One sec. [drinks coffee]
Jess: How's that wine and coffee combination treating you?
Cece: My heart is beating really fast, but time is moving really slow, so it all kind of evens out.
