* In the first episode of season 2, episode 1, when Geoffery is telling Ellen that they’ll be producing Macbeth instead of AntonyAndCleopatra:
---> '''Ellen:''' Geoffery that is thrilling! And it’s a better play than Antony and Cleopatra-
---> '''Geoffery:''' No no no no no, arguably it is not a better play, it’s actually quite flawed, it’s an extraordinarily difficult play to stage effectively, it’s blood, blood, blood, and more blood, and- I don’t wanna do it! This was Oliver’s thing!
---> '''Ellen:''' It would be a nice gesture in Oliver’s memory, you know-
---> '''Geoffery:''' Oh, God, Ellen, you too.
---> '''Ellen:''' It would be good karma.
---> '''Geoffery:''' ”Karma", you just wanna play Lady Macbeth.
---> '''Ellen:''' ''God'', yes!
---> '''Geoffery:''' I don’t ''believe'' this! Oliver Wells is ''dead''! I poured him in the river and swans ''ate'' him! What do I have to do to get this man ''OUTTA MY LIFE?!'' 
* Oliver and Geoffery collaborating on Macbeth together:
---> '''Oliver:''' The Scotsman is evil. Both he and Banquil encounter the witches, both their futures are foretold, but only The ''Scotsman'' goes on a killing spree.
---> '''Geoffery:''' “The Scotsman”? Oh, do you mean- ''Mac-beeeth?''
---> '''Oliver:''' Geoffery, please.
---> '''Geoffery:''' What?
---> '''Oliver:''' Don’t say his name aloud!
---> '''Geoffery:''' Who? ''Mac-beeeeth?''
---> '''Oliver:''' You’re just asking for trouble.
---> '''Geoffery:''' Well, we are rehearsing a play called ''Mac-beeeth''. It’s gonna be a little awkward if I can’t say the title character’s ''name''. 
---> '''Oliver:''' This isn't actually rehearsal. This is a meeting after rehearsal.
---> '''Geoffery:''' Oh I'm so sorry, Oliver, I ''forgot''- you believe in the ''curse''. 
---> '''Oliver:''' And you don't?
---> '''Geoffery:''' No. The only thing ''cursed'' about this play is that it is ''extraordinarily'' difficult to stage effectively. 
---> '''Oliver:''' So you think you're ''above'' this kind of superstitious prattle?
---> '''Geoffery:''' As a matter of fact I do, yes.
---> '''Oliver:''' You're talking to a '''''ghost!''''' Wake up and smell the coffin!

Any change is resisted- because bureaucrats have a vested interest in the chaos in which they exist.

---> '''Megan:''' I took a two-week workshop with Laurie Turbit at The Actor's Incubator. Do you know her?
---> '''Sophie:''' No, I- I don't know of her at all.
---> '''Megan:''' Oh, she's fantastic! She has this way of teaching, it's called "The Chroma Technique".
---> '''Sophie:''' Chroma.
---> '''Megan:''' Yeah! Have you ever heard of it? 
---> '''Sophie:''' I'm... sure I haven't.
---> '''Megan:''' The main idea... is that all emotions are like colors. So, before you start rehearsing, you look at your script, and decide what main emotions your character is having and what colors they are.
---> '''Sophie:''' So before you start rehearsal, so you can sort of ''attack'' the colors-
---> '''Megan:''' Right! So, like, "anger", might be ''red'', right? And ''sadness'' is like-
---> '''Sophie:''' Blue?
---> '''Megan:''' No- it's ''green'', actually!
---> '''Sophie:''' That's surprising!
---> '''Megan:''' Yeah! Well, then you just play the colors you decided on!

---> '''Frank:''' He went off?
---> '''Cyril:''' Off his nut. Then he leaped.
---> '''Frank:''' ''Leaped?''
---> '''Cyril:''' Into the ''grave'', Ducky, into Ophelia's bloody ''grave''! Leaving Horatio and Laertes staring down into the 'ole as if they'd just made a wish!
---> '''Frank:''' ''Crikey!''
---> '''Cyril:''' Crikey, indeed! Then he went ''screaming'' out into the night- mad as a hatter.
---> '''Frank:''' ...Well, he's... been to 'ospitals, maybe he's better.
