Diane: "But girl that is a lie."Will: "Maybe but here's my plan. Help me by using me. I have devil fire in my belly. I want to hear the lamentations of the women, Diane. You be in charge of that. I'm determined, okay? You have always known I would one day become a beast. Activate that protocol and stop trying to smother me."
Diane: "Okay, but I'm allowed to be a little worried about you. Your new boyfriend is..."
Will: "Diane, you walked away. You left us at a time in your life when you were happy and didn't need us."
Diane: "And so you're what, like, punishing...?"
Will: "-- Nope. I'm just saying. You left, I stayed. My chain-gang necklaces were metaphorical, okay, but no less heavy. I freaked the fuck out. I contemplated life without you, tried to cram Alicia into that spot, lost her too."
Diane: "It is very sad when you say it like that."
Will: "...And now you're back. And I want you back. And I want everything, between us. But I didn't walk away, and I deserve a chance to lead."
Diane: "...Yep, you're right."
Will: "We're done arguing?"
Diane: "When you're right, you're right."
Will: "And you don't feel manipulated by that emotional appeal?"
Diane: "No. I know you're not asking for a pound of flesh. What you're asking for is decent, and even though it scares me, part of supporting you is keeping you human, and now you have said the right words for me to believe you will let me do that, so I have nothing more to bitch about. Frankly it's easier with this emotional infrastructure built into us, because it means I won't get my hands dirty when you go dark. Burn brightly."

Eli gets a call from a very intriguing reporter at the Tribune, Anne Stevens played by Talia Balsam who I just love. If you want a crazy story about some things, read her biography, it's insane. She's so cool. Anyway, she calls with a very serious story that she won't tell him what it is, but she summons him to the paper with just two words: "A video." The Sheraton footage? Ha, he wishes.
Robyn: "Everybody watch this video of this song a million times. Okay, look. Right here at 1:23 you hear a sound on the Swedish iTunes version, which is different from the show and US iTunes version, because it went up early for reasons of commerce."
Nobody: (Gets it, for like an hour.)
