The Newsroom, Season 1

Jim:
What are they doing to contain the situation? What's going on with Will?

Mac:
Internal security is handling it. But I have to give you a rotten assignment.

Jim:
You got gum in your hair again?

Mac:
No! Yes, but I got it out. I need you to do opposition research on Will.

Jim:
Seriously?

Mac:
About a year ago, somebody filed a complaint with HR on your behalf.

Maggie:
I know what that was. Will didn't do anything wrong. This is ridiculous.

Mac:
I know, but Charlie wants to know what else is out there so he can--

Jim:
Will knows we're doing this?

Mac:
Of course.

Jim:
And he's okay with it?

Mac:
No, he hates it.

Jim:
Fantastic.

Mac:
Go to work.

[at Jim's desk]

Maggie:
Have you done this before?

Jim:
Yeah.

Maggie:
Where do we start?

Jim:
Tell me about the complaint.

Maggie:
There was a desk producer who saw Will yell at me about something.

Jim:
What?

Maggie:
Doesn't matter.

Jim:
What?

Maggie:
Doesn't matter. [Jim raises his eyebrows. Maggie sighs] I mixed up Georgia the state with--

Jim:
No.

Maggie:
Yes, Georgia the country.

Jim:
And this was...

Maggie:
Yup. This isn't about me.

Jim:
During the invasion? You thought the Russians invaded Atlanta?

Maggie:
In retrospect, it seems farfetched. But that wasn't what he was actually mad about. The wife of a board member died and Will asked me to send flowers. I wrote on the card, "I'm so sorry about your loss. LOL."

Jim:
LOL?

Maggie:
I thought it meant "lots of love."

Jim:
How are you still working here?

Maggie:
I dodge bullets. Here comes a bullet. Boom! I'm over here. Ping! Here comes another bullet. Boom! I'm over here.
