Peter: "Eli! Marilyn here was just telling me she's concerned about your choice for Chief of Staff."
Eli: "Mickey? That's not official yet."

Eli: "Her name's even Marilyn! I will not have it."

Will: "Wait, that means I'm about to get on the elevator with..."
Alicia: "Hello."
Will: "Uh, hi."
Robot zooming by: "Hiiii!"
Alicia: "So, robots now."
Will: "How is it being the First Lady of Illinois?"
Alicia: "Weird? Kinda like, First Galactic Princess. Hey, sorry I didn't call you back."
Will: "Well, between Peter's stuff and Death Row, it's gotta be..."
Alicia: "A very weird couple days. We'll talk?"
