Jess Quote #167

Quote from Jess in Fancyman, Part 1

Tanya: He's the third largest donor in the city.
Jess: We take his money and then what, we have to answer to him? So, you're asking me to give up my integrity?
Tanya: That's what I'm telling you to do. Yes, we need his money.
Jess: So, he pulls his donation. You know what? I'll raise the money myself. I'll get a ragtag group of kids together. A lost soul, an orphan, a Jewish kid with a keyboard, a little slut who can dance, and one fatso, and I'll choreograph some dances, make a show.
Tanya: You did that already, Jess. It's called the spring musical, and it literally brought in $60.
Jess: Please don't make me apologize.
Tanya: You're gonna go to his office. You're gonna say that you were wrong. Say you're never gonna let the kids do anything creative ever again. From now on, your classroom is full-on North Korea: Math! Math! Math! Make sure he doesn't pull the donation.

Quote from Schmidt

Jess: Yeah, Nick, he might pull the funding from the school, so I'm just a little bit...
Schmidt: Blame your period. I've actually done this before. I mean, both parties knew that I was lying, obviously, but it didn't matter because they knew that I had utterly humiliated myself, and at the end of the day, they respected that.

Quote from Nick

Jess: But you've always wanted a thing. This could be your thing, like, the guy with no phone.
Nick: Well, who is that guy? I don't want to be that guy.
Jess: No, no, no, it's like mysterious. It's like, "I want to call Nick Miller." "You can't. He doesn't have a phone." "What?!" You can go all Ghost Protocol on everyone.
Nick: See, that's cool. I mean, I always wanted to be a mole person.

Quote from Nick

Nick: This is the problem, Jess. It's rich people. We are right where they want us, Jess. Just suckling on the teat of consumerism.
Jess: Yeah.
Nick: That's the exact reason I got rid of my phone.
Winston: You were denied a cell phone because you have the credit score of a homeless ghost.
Nick: How I got here doesn't matter.
Winston: You weigh more than your credit score.
Nick: I'm here now, and I'm loving it.
Jess: Yeah.
Nick: I'm the guy with no phone. I mean, right now, I'm writing a letter to my friend, Kev, seeing if he wants to party with me this Friday. "What up, Kev? You in? Nick Miller."
