Mike: Yeah.
Susan: Okay.
Mike: What s it going to be? I ll tell the piano player.
Susan: New York, New York.
Edie: Oh, I m so excited to hear you. Oh, but doesn t it just figures...
Susan: What do you mean?
Edie: You have to get up in front of a room full of people dressed like that. I hope they don t turn on you.

Susan: Yeah. He s a great guy.
Karl: But you know, I mean, he s a little--Buster Brown. Don t you ever worry you ll gonna get bored?
Susan: Thanks for your concern, Karl, I m fine.
Karl: Go figure. Even though our marriage was crazy at times, it never got dull.
Susan: Yeah, that part when you slept with your secretary was really exciting.
Karl: I know, how many times do I have to hear it? It was a mistake. But don t I ever get credit for the thirteen loyal years beforehand?
Edie: You must not be counting the Henderson s Christmas party.
Karl: Edie, not now.
Edie: Oh, what s the big deal, Karl. Your marriage is history anyway.
Karl: Edie...
Edie: It was nothing, really. Basically we both got plastered on eggnog, and we found ourselves standing3 under the, uh, mistletoe...
Karl: Edie...
Edie: And we were like, okay, what do we do now? So I smiled, and he smiled, and then Karl reached over, and started feeling me up!
Karl: Susie, that s not how it happened!
Mike: All right, Susie, come on, you re up.
Susan: What?
Karl: Hey Susie, it s so silly...Susie.
Announcer: Ladies and Gentlemen, please welcome Susan Mayer!
Susan : Start spreading the news...I m leaving today...I wanna be a part of it, New York! New York! These vagabond shoes... You re an ass4, you know that?
Susan : No keep playing! Are longing5 to stray... there s a word no, right? And get around the heart of it, New York! New York! I want to... Just tell you that the affair was one thing, I mean, I forgave you, because on some small level, I thought you were in love with her, and now I find out that you were just groping people at parties... Top of the heap...
Susan: Karl, don t you turn away from me. Look at me! You know, what else were you doing during our marriage? How many other women were you sticking it to? As God as my witness, it will snow on the hills of hell, before I ever feel sorry for you again!
Susan : New York!
