After a scary road rage incident, Schmidt decides he would prefer a macho guys' trip to Las Vegas for his bachelor party.

Quote from Winston

Winston: You know what would be a good plan? You get a job at a Raisin Bran factory, right? You start stealing all of the raisins, okay? You follow? Then you hydrate those raisins to make them turn back into grapes, and you sell the grapes. There's no overhead, and you make you a very rich man.
J. Cronkite Valley-Forge: That's right, Wilson. You have surrendered to the night.
Winston: I'm Wilson.

Quote from Schmidt

Schmidt: Sorry I got us into this, Nick. I was useless out there. I didn't even get one punch in.
Nick: That's not true. You hit me a little bit.
Schmidt: I got my ass whomped out there. Got whomped up and down the road.
Nick: What's whomp?
Schmidt: Like a whomp-down.
Nick: Oh, whooped?
Schmidt: Whomped.
Nick: Are you talking about getting beat up?
Schmidt: Yes.
Nick: Whooped.
Schmidt: I got this calendar bod, but it doesn't hold up in battle.

Quote from Nick

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.

Men: Noteworthy!
Jess: "Noteworthy" gets one?

Quote from Winston

J. Cronkite Valley-Forge: Ah, Vegas. Truly a town in which to devour and be devoured.
Robby: Whoo-whoo. Whoo, whoo, Vegas. I'm gonna click in, eventually. I just... this morning I realized I still have some unresolved feelings towards Cece, and now I'm out here celebrating with her fiancé. So, you know... if I didn't wake up tomorrow, you know, that would be fine with me. But we're gonna have a good time in Las Vegas. Whoo.
Winston: Yeah, that's dark, man. [phone chimes] That's dark, bro. Ooh, I got a text from Jess. Hot bachelorette party goss. "With Aly, Tripp. On the squirts!" That's weird. Uh, why would she be with Aly and her boyfriend? Why does she need to tell me? Maybe they're having problems. She's, uh, with my partner, Aly, who, I'm in love with, but she has a boyfriend, you know. And I'm married to Rhonda, but it's a prank. It's a whole story, I'm prank...
Big Schmidt: Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. Too many lady problems, all right? This is a bachelor party.
Winston: You know what? You're right. You're right. I'm gonna put the phone away. My focus is here with you guys.
