I was lying in bed last night and I couldn’t sleep, and I came up with an idea. So I went right home and wrote it down.
— Mary Tyler Moore • 1970

What it means
Our interpretation.
The speaker recounts a sleepless night that produced an idea, then says they hurried home to put it on paper. The phrase 'went right home' quietly implies they hadn't been at home in that bed, giving the neat little story a sly, mischievous undertone.
