Nick: Look, it's 2016. She's not looking for a strong husband. That... no, tha-that's not what I was gonna... That's not where I was going with this.
Schmidt: I'm getting married, Nick. How am I going to defend Cece? She deserves the best husband in the world, and what if I don't have what it takes?
Nick: Of course you have what it takes to be a modern husband. Do you have what it takes to be a husband of the old world? God, no. They would use you as a pelt. Today, you fought, kinda. You're gonna make a great husband to Cece.
Schmidt: How do you know?
Nick: Because I know.
Schmidt: Because why?
Nick: Because.
Schmidt: Look what happened here today. Because why?
Nick: Beca... ever since I've known you, you've been there. Okay, you're always there. Even when I don't want you there, you're there. That's what a husband does. You fight for me. That's what a husband does. You care about what I eat. That's what a husband does. You've cooked for me, even when I don't ask. That's what a husband does. When I pass out, you comb my hair so there's no knots in it. That's what a husband does. So, guess what. You're gonna be a great husband to Cece because you're a great husband to me. So that's how I know. You're, you're like my husband. You're like my wife, but... Yeah, so that's how I know.
