Quote from Jess
Winston: So, you just left him there to talk?
Jess: Yep, I abandoned my own car, and now, for all I know, Sam and Diane are tearing apart a business-friendly hotel room together.
Cece: Well, I'm really proud of you. I know that it was hard, but it's the only way you're gonna find out what you need to know.
Jess: Thanks. This might sound like a cry for help, but I promise you it's not. Um, I'm gonna go to my room and I'm gonna watch videos of dogs waiting for their dead owners to come back.
Quote from Jess
Jess: Hey. I'm just, uh... Yeah, I'm really nervous, so I'm just gonna ask you an innocuous question. Um... did you bring my car back?
Sam: Yes, I have got your keys right here.
Jess: Thanks.
Sam: Look, what you did for me today was... the most selfless thing anyone has ever done for me. Whatever... if there was ever a time for me and Diane, it's passed. And when I read the letter, it just reminded me how much that's true. [chuckles]

Sam: I have to say, that was the strangest birthday surprise I have ever been given.
Jess: Well, Winston took my bird shirt idea, so... [Sam laughs]
