Susie Myerson : [Midge wants Susie to tell her fiance the wedding is off] Miriam, I have done a lot for you over the years. I jumped onto a subway track to retrieve your third favorite hat. I came to your apartment at four a.m. to kill a cockroach. Turned out to be a raisin. I've euthanized three of your elderly pets. I've wrung out your wet bras on hotel terraces. I wrestled a Turkish police officer to the ground, I kept Ethel Merman away from you. But this! This has nothing to do with your career. It's your personal life and I gotta start drawing lines and I'm starting today. I'm sorry, but you get yourself out of this.

Aaron Lebowitz : Okay, but I'm telling it. Mike was the talent booker. He and Susie started getting all buddy-buddy. Another odd couple, like her and Harry.
[Flashback to Toots Shor's bar]
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : No, you know how you say a word too many times, it stops sounding like a word? Well, there's a word for that.
Ralph : What's the word?
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : I can't remember the word.
Adam : Cess, you went to Harvard. What's the word?
Cecil : I don't know. I didn't major in words.
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : It's gonna bug me.
Mike Carr : [At another part of the bar] She's doing the tennis pro.
Susie Myerson : Get out.
Mike Carr : People say.
Aaron Lebowitz : [voice-over] Was it legit camaraderie, or just Susie working some angle? Either way the angle presented itself.
Susie Myerson : Hey, Mike, who made that dumb rule that anyone who works on the show can't be on the show?
Mike Carr : It's George. George made the rule about no one working on the show appearing on the show. It's some dumb superstition of his dating back to, I dunno, when he was a boy in Pompeii. Gordon follows it 'cause... I don't know. I don't know anything.
Susie Myerson : George, huh?
Miriam 'Midge' Maisel : Semantic satiation!
Cecil : That's two words.
