The Newsroom, Season 1
Mackenzie:
[Realizing she just sent a mass e-mail to the staff, with details of her infidelity during a relationship with Will] No... No, no... No, no, no, no, no, no I need everyone's attention, right now [Gary Cooper receives the e-mail on his Blackberry, which Mackenzie snatches from his hand, throws to the floor, crushes beneath her heel, and upon which she pours another employee's tea.]
Gary:
That was unusual.
Mackenzie:
[frantically] I need everyone to delete the staff e-mail, right now, without reading it. Then I need someone to sneak into Will's office and delete the e-mail from his inbox. If it's password protected, I need someone to, ummm, TAKE A BASEBALL BAT AND SMASH-- [Will enters with a blank expression on his face] I thought you said he was at a thing uptown.
Jim:
I guess he came back.
Will:
We stood in my office this morning...
Mackenzie:
Will...
Will:
...and I said under no circumstances did I want anyone to know what happened, and you said yes, and yes again. I mean it really, it really seemed like you understood. Then, you sent an e-mail, explaining in some detail, what happened and then you copied 47 reporters on it.
Mackenzie:
Will...
Will:
You know how sometimes something happens in an instant that's so astonishing you just... shut down?
Mackenzie:
Of course, that's understa-
Will:
THAT DOESN'T! FUCKING! HAPPEN! TO ME!
Mackenzie:
: We need privacy.
Will:
[Sarcastically] REALLY?!
Mackenzie:
We're going to go into Will's office, I want everyone to delete the e-mail-
Martin:
Mack, I think I just accidentally forwarded it to corporate.
Will:
[Will angrily charges at Martin and is blocked by Mackenzie and Maggie] WHY IS THIS HAPPENING?!
Mackenzie:
[Frantically] I was trying to send an e-mail to you, but instead I sent it to Sloan and then 'Sloan' became 'Staff' and I either did or didn't type the asterisk.
Will:
Why were you sending it at all?
Mackenzie:
Because-... and here's where I'm on firmer ground. Sloan thought that you cheated on me and that you were an ass! [To the staff] Which is not true! I'm changing minds, Will!
Will:
[Points angrily to his office] GET IN THERE!
Mackenzie:
Sure.
