Here's the picture of Courtney Bugler

She wasn't very good but I don't think she was that much worse than most of AMC's scriptwriters (outside of now long-gone Karen Lews and Michelle Patrick). Her last script was very good and she wrote the episode with Angie and Jesse's prayer at the dinner table several weeks ago, which had some beautifully-written scenes.

Here's R Sinclair's transcription of Courtney Bugler's gems:

RYAN: Well, you remember -- before we got married?

ANNIE: When you took me away to the beach.

RYAN:
That
is just geography. You see, that time where it was just you and me and the ocean -- we'd never had time like that before, ever, and it was just -- it was incredible.

ANNIE: It was amazing.

RYAN: And time like that is going to be hard to come by very often, you know, with children and exes and work and just life. Life happens, and most of it's good, but some of it is hard. And when it gets hard, people -- they're going to try to crowd us and try to push us off our beach.

ANNIE: So, steal some sand?

RYAN: Steal some sand -- Steal some moments. You think about it -- Each grain of sand -- you know, individually -- is very rough and hard and sharp and really not all that pretty, you know? But when you put them all together, you get this beautiful beach, this beautiful, soft, smooth beach. So I -- I guess what I'm trying to say is
when things get crazy, we just got to put together the sand, you know, take our beach back.
I love you, and I know that we're going to be able to stay on the shore. I know that no matter how rough the waters get, you just got to fight with me.

More of the same:

Each grain of sand, individually, is very rough and hard and sharp and really not all that pretty. But when you put them all together, you get this beautiful beach, this beautiful, soft, smooth beach. So I guess what I'm trying to say is when things get crazy, we just got to put together the sand -- take our beach back. I love you, and I know that we're going to be able to stay on the shore. I know that no matter how rough the waters get, you just got to fight with me.

Now take a look at Mary Sue Price at work (also Sinclair's transcription):

Hannah
: Is Carly short for Caroline?

Carly:

Why is this bimbo asking me stupid questions?

Hannah:

I'll go with Carly. So, what's your last name these days?

Carly:

Can I get a real cop, please? She's obviously having trouble with the form.

Hannah:

I'm gonna go with Quatermaine...

Carly:

It's Benson, baby. AJ's your problem, now.

Hannah:

Do you want to tell me what went on tonight?

Carly:

No I don't.

Hannah:

Why don't we start from the very beginning --

Carly:

You mean when you blew into town, brought your butt in here and went after Sonny? Or when my tax dollars paid your salary while you slept with him? Or do you want to talk about when you almost sent him to prison?

Hannah:

If Sonny ends up in jail, it's because of you.

Carly:

Why am I dealing with this FBI slut?

Officer:

Do you need assistance?

Carly:

No, she ruins people's lives all by herself, but thank you.

Hannah:

I'm fine.

Carly:

You keep telling yourself that.
