WILLIAM H. MACY: There, there, honey.
FELICITY HUFFMAN: WHATEVER.
MACY: You knew the strike was going to end eventually and you'd have to go back to work.
HUFFMAN: BUT WHY? Things were going so well in my new career.
MACY: Because you have a contract. You're an ACTOR, kid.
HUFFMAN: I'M A P.I.
MACY: You thought you might become a P.I. if the strike dragged into a second year. You didn't even get any cases this time, remember?
HUFFMAN: Marcia asked me to investigate that thing for her!
MACY: She asked you to take a look at a mole on her back.
HUFFMAN: IT'S A START.
MACY: There, there. If I allow you to keep wearing your fedora-esque hat --
HUFFMAN: MY SUMMER-WEIGHT P.I. CHAPEAU, IF YOU DON'T MIND.
MACY: Okay, if I allow you to keep wearing your summer-weight P.I chapeau and trench coat, will you please go back to Desperate Housewives? We've got a mortgage remember?
HUFFMAN: Can I at least bring a hip flask?
MACY: I would encourage it.
