- [Lou shows up at Mary's apartment for dinner, even though Mary is no longer expecting him]
- Lou Grant: Hello. You didn't say what time. Is this OK?
- Mary Richards: OK for what?
- Lou Grant: Dinner. You did invite me to dinner, didn't you?
- Mary Richards: Well, yes, Mr. Grant. But I can't imagine, after that scene in your office, that you would think it's still on.
- Lou Grant: You never said it wasn't.
- Mary Richards: You mean to tell me you expect us to sit down and eat dinner tonight after that fight we had?
- Lou Grant: Mary, during World War II everyone was fighting, but we all kept eating.
- Mary Richards: Yeah, yeah. But you never sat down to eat with the Germans.
- Lou Grant: They never invited me. And you did.
