Jeremy Jordan: Jimmy Collins

Quotes 

• Jimmy Collins : You guys didn't come out all the way to Greenpoint just to tell us that, did you?

  Karen Cartwright : No, I also thought maybe we should have a reading today.

  Kyle Bishop : A reading today?

  Karen Cartwright : Derek said it's the best way to hear what you have. I sent out some e-mails to see if anyone was free. A bunch of people responded, and if you're interested...

  Kyle Bishop : Your friends would really come here...?

  Ana Vargas : People like to be a part of a new work. Plus, they've heard your music.

  Jimmy Collins : Yeah, now they can hear your words to go along with them. Thanks a lot, Karen, you're really looking out for us. It means a lot.

• Derek Wills : [on phone]  Karen?

  Karen Cartwright : [her friends are counting on her]  I... I haven't sent you the script yet, because we have to...

  Derek Wills : That's not why I'm calling. We just finished the Bombshell reading.

  [smiles proudly] 

  Derek Wills : It was amazing.

  Karen Cartwright : Really?

  Derek Wills : Yup. Get ready, darling. If we get this right, you'll win every award in town. Hit List can wait. We should focus on Bombshell now, okay?

  [knock on door, Jerry beckons] 

  Derek Wills : Look, I've got to go.

  [leaving Karen not knowing how to break this news to her friends] 

  Jimmy Collins : It's over, isn't it?
