Trish: Gorgeous.
Lou: He’s so well hydrated.
Trish: I prefer Gronkowski these days.

Betty: You’re just as beautiful now as you were back then.
Trish: Oh, God. Thank you. You know what it cost me to look like this? A fortune.

Trish: No, he was terrible. But the game was amazing.
Maura: It’s just that every time I hear that word “divorce”, I just think of Francisco. You know?
Betty: Oh, Maura. No. No. Your husband didn’t divorce you. He died.
Maura: It’s the same thing.

Lou: I’m serious. Let’s go to the Super Bowl.

Trish: No, it’s not finished. No. Not you, Carl. With you, it is finished.

Mickey: Lately, I’ve been realizing that it’s less about what you do, more about who you do it with, you know? I look around this place, and you’re the only one I really want to be around, you know? It seems like you got it all figured out and…
Mickey: [looks over to see Maura is asleep] Talking to myself.
Lou: Stop honking. Betty hates it. She thinks it’s bad manners.
Trish: I know. That’s why I do it.
Lou: [to Trish] Are all your suitcases just wigs?

Lou: Before we head out, let’s look at the agenda. First up, the NFL Experience.

Hot Wings Woman: [referring to the spicy wings contest] I must warn you, it gets really intense. I mean, they got spices that sound like they’re from a horror film.
Betty: Like what?
Hot Wings Woman: California Reaper. Ghost pepper. Teddy Bears Picnic. Now, that one’s the most scary because it sounds like it’s all warm and cuddly, but it’s not. It’s really not.
Betty: Well, I could use a little spice.
Hot Wings Woman: This ain’t no little spice.
Hot Wings Woman: So if you black out, you don’t want me to call your husband?

Maura: Oh, I could eat your brisket all day long, you brute.
