(after a discussion of how Voice Professor is looking for books on Dimidov to give Machinal Director)

"Oh... I think she needs a shave..."
- Acting Professoressa, mocking how awkward it looked for Killer to cup All-The-Way's face in his hand during a scene, as though he were examining her

All-The-Way: I think I'm sort of straddling the two now, and I need to make a decision. Sorry, that sounded dirty.
Acting Professoressa: We didn't take it that way, [All-The-Way], I promise you. Only your dirty mind thought that.

O.D.: (folds arms) Pout.
