Lou Grant1977

Mrs. Pynchon:
[referring to Rossi] Now just what do you intend to do to discipline that young man?

Lou Grant:
[calm] Leave it to me. When you're dealing with a man of his talents, you have to be careful. He's very high strung, very temperamental. but he can be handled. It's a matter of understanding human psychology. I know how his mind works and therefore I know the right, psychological level on which to approach him. [cut to Lou and Rossi in Lou's office]

Lou Grant:
[shouting] I'm gonna kill you, Rossi!

Joe Rossi:
Lets not make irresponsible threats.

Lou Grant:
It's not irresponsible, it's carefully thought out: I'm going to kill you.

Joe Rossi:
Look, Lou...

Lou Grant:
Now, not physically you understand, as much as I'd enjoy it, no I'm going to kill you intelectually, I'm gonna break your spirit.
