Quotes
-
Billie Appiah : [to Kate Wyler] Really. It's almost embarrassing. Never even occurred to me.
Stuart Heyford : Pick someone good at the job, not the interview?
Billie Appiah : I mean, it's bad for the guys, but for the women? Fuck me. Is she pretty but not too pretty? Appealing but not hot? Confident but not bitchy? Decisive but not bitchy?
Stuart Heyford : Cute bitchy, but not bitchy bitchy.
Billie Appiah : We had to come to an agreement about how many days a week the VP would wear a thong. She doesn't like them. But her team doesn't like panty lines. Weeks of my life. And then an agreement. Yes, she will wear ass-floss, but only two days out of seven, and days cannot be banked week to week. Can you imagine hiring someone for a key governing position just because you think they'd be good at it?
