Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Ronnie takes out his pen, signs the picture, and he says, 'It's a good thing Bonzo is a Democrat. Otherwise, he'd have won the nomination.'
[the ladies laugh]
Debbie Eagan : You're hilarious.
Sam Sylvia : Ladies. Hi. I see you've met... Sebastian Howard, our producer.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Uh, 'Bash', please.
Sam Sylvia : Just know that he's the one signing your checks, so, be nice.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : I don't like to talk about money, okay? I'm the patron of the arts. And wrestling is an art, despite my mother's opinion, which is wrong.
Sam Sylvia : I thought you were in Peru.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Yeah. I... I... I came back early. Loving the casting!
[grabs Sheila]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Even Miss Serious over here. So, so, so, what, what moves have you guys learned?
Cherry Bang : We've been mostly learning to fall on our backs without hurting ourselves.
Arthie Premkumar : And pain faces.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : W-w-what about, uh, powerbombs? Or, or DDTs? Salty's famous for his DDTs. Where is Salty, by the way?
Sam Sylvia : Yeah, yeah, Bash. Salty didn't work out. Cherry's our new wrestling coach now.
[Cherry waves at Bash]
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Um... d-does she have any wrestling experience?
Cherry Bang : Um... I'm right here.
Sam Sylvia : Yeah, all right. Anyway, you know that fans are gonna tune in for the moves, but they're not gonna stay tuned in unless we give them what, ladies?
Reggie Walsh : Blood!
Melanie Rosen : Tits!
Sam Sylvia : Storytelling. Storytelling.
Melanie Rosen : Oh.
Sam Sylvia : Now, I know it's exciting to be in the midst of a big-shot producer, but I have something even shinier. A script. Hot off the Xerox. I only made ten copies, so we're gonna have to share 'em. And I'm just gonna cast as we move along, starting with Ruth.
Ruth Wilder : Yes! Anything you need.
Sam Sylvia : Uh, yeah. I'm gonna need you to read stage directions.
[disappointed look in Ruth's face]

Arthie Premkumar : I am Beirut, the Mad Bomber. I will destroy your American way of living.
Sam Sylvia : You know what? Let's... let's add the gun back in.
[Sam gives gun to Arthie]
Arthie Premkumar : [sighs] So expected.

Arthie Premkumar : But I'm Indian, not Arab.
Jenny Chey : I'm Cambodian.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Backstory. Wrestling is not about backstory. It's about type. And your type is...
Arthie Premkumar : Intelligent and whimsical?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : No. No. Terrorist, or or genie or some sort of other evil Arab.
Arthie Premkumar : You mean stereotypes.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Yes! Bingo! Exactly! Here, look...
[Bash hands Arthie the Uzi]
Sam Sylvia : Don't take that gun.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Take the gun.
Sam Sylvia : Don't take the gun.
Arthie Premkumar : Um, which one of you is in charge?
[Ruth shows up]
Ruth Wilder : Did somebody call for a meeting?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Oh! Yes! Here we go. Perfect! Uh, I don't know. Farmer's daughter. A girl next door.
Ruth Wilder : No, I'm Kuntar, a vision of hideousness.
Sam Sylvia : See?
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : There's no world where people look at her and see hideous or evil. She's apple pie and ice cream.
Sam Sylvia : Look, I didn't take this job to be bossed around by some wannabe producer who takes fake phone calls at the polo lounge.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : Those calls are real! You took this job because no one else would hire you.
Sam Sylvia : And who are you now? Robert Evans? You haven't done this before. You haven't done anything.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : GLOW is my idea!
Sam Sylvia : So what? Ideas are cheap. Everyone's got ideas. Your idiot butler probably has ten Oscar-winning ideas.
Florian : I do.
Sebastian 'Bash' Howard : You leave my butler out of this, all right? Florian kicks ass!
