Karen Walker : [Entering] I know. I'm late. My driver had another bronchial incident. It was disgusting. I had to raise the partition. But that's no excuse. I should be punished. I'm writing you a cheque.
Will Truman : [Over speakerphone] Karen, tell Grace she should fire you.
Karen Walker : Grace, tell Will to redirect his anger at his mother where it belongs.

Jack McFarland : Ah-ha ha ha. Look, Guapo, he made a funny. Shut up, Will! I just schlepped all the way over here from the East Side, and you know how much Guapo hates riding in taxis!
Will Truman : Ok. Ok. Take it easy, Jack. You sound just like your mother.
Jack McFarland : Crossing the line! Ok, you nasty, bitter, lonely, balding man. I don't need this crap from you, Will. You know what? I just don't need it...

Will Truman : Yeah. Did you get that black, flowy thing?

Harlin Polk : You're my lawyer. You tell me. What have I got to do to buy this company?
Will Truman : Well, first you've got to get something called a Hart-Scott-Rodino antitrust clearance and then we can negotiate standstills and lockups. Naturally, that's after we do due diligence.
Harlin Polk : What the hell is doo-doo diligence?
Will Truman : No, Harlin, after we do... due diligence.
Harlin Polk : Doesn't matter how slow you say it, Will. It's still doo-doo, isn't it? I just want to know what it means.
Will Truman : It's just crap that lawyers deal with. Harlin, I'll handle it. I've been representing your corporation for 5 years now, remember?
Harlin Polk : I know, but my wife's been bugging me about the business lately. She wants me to be a little more hands-on.
Will Truman : You sure she's talking about the business?
Harlin Polk : [Laughs] Yeah, she's talking about the business. But I trust you, Will, so you do that doodoo... That you do so well.
