Quotes

Donna Moss : Does anybody know if it's gonna rain this afternoon? They're asking me.
Staffer : The paper said mid-afternoon.
Donna Moss : So we know it won't be that. Cal the Navy Yard for me, would you?
Staffer : Yeah.
Larry : [Ed and Larry approach, laughing] Donna.
Donna Moss : Yeah.
Larry : Have you seen C.J.?
Donna Moss : No. What's so funny?
Larry : Ed just got a fax...
[laughing]
Larry : I'm sorry. Ed just got a fax from a man named Byron Talmadge. He's the Associate Administrator for NASA's Office of Space Cadets.
Ed : Flight.
Larry : Office of Space Flight.
Ed : The OSF.
Donna Moss : What's the fax say?
Larry : A huge Chinese satellite is gonna come crashing to Earth, and we don't know where, and we don't know when.
Donna Moss : Seriously?
Ed : Yeah, it's right here in the fax.
Donna Moss : A satellite is... crashing to Earth and NASA sent us a fax?
Ed : Yeah.
Donna Moss : This is for real.
Larry : Yes.
Donna Moss : [terrified] A satellite is gonna crash into the Earth?
Donna Moss : Why are you laughing?
Ed : We thought it was funny.
[the two of them turn to leave]
Donna Moss : I'm an assistant. What am I supposed to do with this information?
Larry : The fax was for C.J., just give it to her when you see her.
Staffer : Donna, they say it's not going to rain this afternoon.
Donna Moss : Well, that's a relief.
