Murphy Brown -
1. Corky: "Tomorrow is National Adopt a Pet Day! Millions of dogs and cats need homes. So maybe we can shine a light on the situation and get these furry friends adopted." Murphy: "And did you know that Donald Trump is the only president since McKinley not to have a pet?" Corky: "Well, people in glass houses, Murphy." Murphy: "I had a dog when I was a kid.

The first time my girlfriend and I had sex, it thought I was killing her, and it tried to attack me.

7. Avery: "You know what? You should question whatever the Wolf Network tells you, because they will feed you any amount of BS that you are willing to believe. See, here at Wolf, we don't care about facts. All we care about at Wolf is shilling for this current administration. You know what? Actually, you guys would save a lot of money by firing your so-called journalists and just bringing out a ventriloquist's dummy, sitting it right there on the knee of the President and just letting him reel off whatever he wants you to hear. You know, I stuck with this place because God, I thought I could change the culture around here, but believe me I can’t. That's not gonna happen, not unless you out there get up off your couch and you let the powers-that-be know that you are not gonna take it anymore. This is Avery Brown signing off, taking my soul with me. * mic drop * " (Julia Krassnik)
