Nick: I will not take it off. I have a pass.
Schmidt: A pass? What kind of pass?
Nick: A Dead Dad Pass. Which means I can do what I want when I want and no one can say anything about it. Like right now, I want to tap dance, and you, Jess, you cannot tell me that this isn't tap.
Jess: Nick, that's just not tap!
Nick: My dad died!
Jess: I'm sorry. It's just not.
