Quotes[]
Green: Or, maybe somebody who disagreed with Shea's politics.
Van Buren: And there's his wife, if he was hitting on his co-workers.
Fontana: Are you talking about the sexual harassment lawsuit?
Van Buren: You think the woman's lying?
Fontana: I think he's an easy target. High profile, successful TV show and rolling in the moolah.
Van Buren: I might sympathize if he wasn't on TV every night telling women their place is in the kitchen.
Green: ...Preaching them old school politics.
Van Buren: Yeah. Like Neanderthal. Let's start with the wife, work from there. [Shakes her head and smiles at the detectives...] Get outta here.
