Quote from Schmidt in Clean Break
Schmidt: Hey, guys. Want to know what happened to me today? Jess & Nick: We're kind of in the middle of something... Schmidt: Fine, I'll tell you. I spent $500 to get back a five dollar bill. Go ahead, call me a fool. You won't be the first person to call me that today. [flashback:] Wally: You're a fool! [present:] Schmidt: I need to move on. I'm never gonna get Cece back. And I know it's my fault that I lost her. Nick: You lost her twice. You had her... Schmidt: I know I lost her twice. Why would you have to...? Nick: Then you got her, then you blew it. Then you got her... Schmidt: Who are you clarifying this for?
