Schmidt: Uh, before I move on to the next slide, let me just say thank you for agreeing to stay at home this week while I get back in the saddle at work. Now, you need to pick up Ruth at 2:00 p.m. on the dot. The three pillars of the pickup are gate code, sign out, and lunch, which needs to be a peanut butter sandwich, otherwise, she will shut down and go full armadillo.
Cece: Yeah, I got it. Pick her up, drop her off. How hard can it be?
Schmidt: Well, first of all, you got it backwards. You drop off in the morning, you pick up in the after... I'm sorry. I'm a little stressed out. I know that I said that I would go back to work when Ruth started school, which, look, I'm-I'm excited about. But I've been out of the game for a while, and I've become accustomed to a different type of lifestyle.

Schmidt: Daddy was gonna get into that party no matter what, so I jumped over the hedge.
Ruth: Of course. It was Prince!
Schmidt: You get it.
