-
Daniel : No need to be honored, thrilled maybe. Margaret is pretty thrilling.

Joanna : As you know, I believe that computers make work rather than alleviate it. But I agreed to install one in the office on a trial basis because...
Max : It came in an elegant black.
Joanna : Because, Hugh discovered that people, I don't know who these people are or why they don't have more important things to do with their lives, but people have been publishing whole Salinger stories on their personal e-webs.
Hugh : Web blogs.
Joanna : Web blogs, ridiculous. This is blatant copyright infringement. And we're going to have to scour the worldwide web to put an end to it. And that is *all* the computer is to be used for.
Daniel : Sorry to interrupt. Just passing through. Don't mean to cause a fuss.
Joanna : We can turn it off now.
Max : Uh, it's already off.
Joanna : Okay, good. And then maybe the little coat that goes over it, I've seen it in pictures. Thank you, Max.

Rachel Cusk : [to Joanna] I thought all publishing assistants were writing novels at their desk.
Daniel : If you can write a novel at your desk while fetching coffee for a tyrant like Margaret, good luck.
Rachel Cusk : Well, you really have to love it. You have to want it more than anything in the entire world. More than a boyfriend or a closet full of pretty dresses, or a fancy job that makes everyone jealous. You need to be okay with saying no when you're invited to a party, and you really need to be okay with having your mother and father hate you.
