April Epner: Ugh.

Frank: Why are you talking so fast?

April Epner: No he doesn't! I was very careful to wait until he was a safe distance away.

Glynnis Payne: Darling, darling, all I'm saying is before we let this hypothetical daughter blow your political career out of the water, we might at least consider doing some checking up on her.
