Quote from Winston

Jess: Well, congratulations, Miller. You were right.
Nick: What happened?

Quote from Coach

Jess: You made a difference. How's it feel?
Nick: It feels good. [laughs] Yeah, actually, it feels great. I feel like, um I don't know. I feel like running. Hey, Coach, you want to show me how?
Coach: How to run?
Nick: Come on. Coach me! Is this right, Coach? Am I doing it right?
Coach: Miller, you sorry excuse for a human being, you are shaped like a bean bag chair! I will sit in you!
Nick: Ah, you can do it.

Quote from Schmidt

Schmidt: You know, I just moved across the hall, but it feels like I moved across an entire ocean.
Outside Dave: People grow up, especially young people.
Schmidt: So my friends don't even miss me anymore?
Outside Dave: Uh-huh. Well, they don't miss you. They've moved on.
Schmidt: What? Well, how do you know that?
Outside Dave: Because he told me. [shows action figure] His name is Conner, and he went to SUNY Binghamton. I once lived with 40 birds, and they all flew away, and I moved on.
