30 Rock

Liz Lemon: This is gonna sound really weird, but, um… you need to wear a bra.
Cerie: Oh no, I… I don’t, actually. They kind of just stay up on their own.
Liz Lemon: Yeah, okay. What I’m saying is, you need to wear a bra to work if you want to be taken seriously in this business.
Cerie: Oh, but I don’t actually want to work in television. Career-wise, I’m just gonna marry rich and then design handbags.
Liz Lemon: Here’s the thing. The way that you dress, …is making some people around the office uncomfortable.
Cerie: Really? Who?
Pete Hornberger: [ducking in] Not me!
Liz Lemon: I guess it’s mostly me that has the problem with it.
Cerie: Oh, because you have, like, one of those body-image things?
Liz Lemon: No, it’s not that.
Cerie: Good, because I was gonna say, you still have a good body.
Liz Lemon: Well, …thank you, but this isn’t about me.
Cerie: Like, how’d you dress before you were married?
Liz Lemon: I’m not married, Cerie.
Cerie: Oh, for some reason I thought you had, like, three kids.
Liz Lemon: Nope. Never married. No kids.
Cerie: ’Cause sometimes you have, like, food stains on your shirt and stuff. I just assumed that it was kids.
Liz Lemon: You know what? Forget I mentioned it. You look great.
