Schmidt Quote #575

Quote from Schmidt in The Box

Schmidt: I saved a man.
Nick: Oh, my God.
Schmidt: You know, there was a lowly bike messenger. Was just riding along, choking on his gum. And I performed Heimlich's maneuver on him, rescued him.
Nick: Great.
Schmidt: Yeah, who's the good man now? You're almost forced to admit it. Almost... You're almost forced to admit it.
Nick: Yeah, I know.
Schmidt: I'm a hero, Nick, now. Just tell me that I'm a good man. I really need to hear it.
Nick: I don't even know if I'm a good person. I'm not the guy to ask. I have my moods.
Schmidt: But we're not talking about you. We're talking about me right now and how I'm a good person, so it'd be really nice if you could say that.
Nick: I'm ready to do a tzatziki.
Schmidt: Tzedakah. This is not about tzedakah right now. This is about me being a good man and you telling me that.

Quote from Jess

Jess: Hi, I'd like to unpay some parking tickets.
Keysha: Excuse me?
Jess: Well, I sent in a payment earlier for some tickets and I decided I don't want to pay them.
Keysha: Well, just cancel the checks.
Jess: Can't do that 'cause I paid cash 'cause my boyfriend doesn't believe in banks. It's early in the relationship. Still shaving above the knee if you know what I mean.
Keysha: Mm-hmm. Let me get this straight. You want me to watch the mail and let you know if I see anything from your boyfriend.
Jess: Exactly.
Keysha: Fantastic. Should I call you or...?
Jess: Text, text would be great.
Keysha: Perfect. Let me put your number into my phone. [taps on phone]
Jess: I didn't give you my number yet.
Keysha: Oh, I think you did.

Quote from Nick

Nick: I don't even know. I don't know what's cool anymore.
Jess: It could be a good time to start a bank account.
Nick: Yeah, or I could just flush it down the toilet.
Jess: It's not really the same thing, but-
Nick: A bank is just a paper bag but with fancier walls. That's all it is. I'm gonna keep my money where my mouth is. Um, under my nose. That saying actually does work.
