Now I did a job. I got nothing but trouble since I did it, not to mention more than a few unkind words as regard to my character so let me make this abundantly clear. I do the job. And then I get paid.

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

Huh, I always thought Sesame Street was in the Bronx.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

I thought it was Brooklyn!

"There are few hours in life more agreeable than the hour dedicated to the ceremony known as afternoon tea."

I think the casual racism is evident in the way Harry and Henry both kept referring to how "they" will burn down the city. I think upper middle class New Yorkers of the era would certainly have a lot of ingrained racism, but they'd also distance themselves from the overt racism happening in the south during the Civil Rights era.

I agree. Also, when Pete is calling you out for being an insensitive ass, that should be a signal that you're being pretty awful.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Mayor Lindsay's walk through Harlem.

I know James Brown is widely credited with keeping Boston from having a riot, by putting on a free show that night that was aired on PBS.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

OK, I don't have a lot of sympathy for (or even interest in, to a large degree) Don, but that "what if someone shoots Henry" was painful.

It really was. Don's reply, though, my god.

I think that did comfort Bobby though?

I know, that's why it was brilliant! It's exactly the sort of thing Don says to clients to calm them down too, actually.
