I took a direct quote from a TV Show I'm watching on Netlfix and included it in my paper. How do I in-text cite the source for the quote? (MLA style)

Since you have to derive your in text citation from your works cited page, you'd start with that. Use this format for you works cited page when citing from Netflix, Hulu, etc. Note the part of the citation in bold, above, episode. You'll need to use the actual URL for that episode.

“Beauty Pageant.” Parks and Recreation, season 2, episode 3,

NBC, 1 Oct. 2009. Netflix, www.netflix.com/episode.

So your in text citation would be "until the women of Pawnee are judged, not by the flatness of their tummies, but by the contents of their brains" (Beauty Pageant).
