"Vanity​"

"Joan Crawford has slept with every male star at MGM, except Lassie," says Davis.

"Divan"

"Miss Davis looks old enough to be my mother," says Crawford, a quote that will take on a life of its own.

"Warning"

"Mr. Cory, Joan Crawford's headed this way and she's not slowing down," says an assistant who knows how to do her job.

"Snub"

"Miss Davis, do you have any comment on the Academy snubbing your co-star, Miss Crawford?" asks a reporter. "Define 'snub,'" sneers Davis.

"Lemon Makeup"

"I will have her respect if I have to kill both of us to get it," swears Crawford.

"Faster"

"Keep practicing. Could be faster," says Crawford's notably unsympathetic maid.

"Ambush"

"Welcome to the house that fear built," says Hedda Hopper, played by Judy Davis, as Bette and Joan wait at the front door of her mansion.

"Dressing Room"

"I'm going to steal this picture right out from under your nose and you know I can do it," Davis tells Crawford.

"Sylvia"

Bette gives it right back to Sylvia the hapless reporter, and there's a glimpse of Shipka as Davis' daughter, BD.
