Ted to the newsroom: Let’s go out for a fancy steak dinner. I’ll treat!

Mary: No more guilt trips for me. If folks don't like me standing up for myself against their crap, they can kick dirt!

Lou: I hate the fights and eating steak!

Murray (to Ted, sincerely) "Hey Ted, that was a FANTASTIC show tonight you did!"

Ted: I owe my brilliant newscasting career ALL to the writer Murray Slaughter and my producers Lou Grant and Mary Richards!
