Quote from Winston

Winston: This is great.
Bertie: Mmm.
Winston: You know, Bertie had a dream she killed me.

Quote from Coach

Coach: That was awful.
Cece: That was the worst.
Coach: Oh, my gosh. Wow, what is happening?
Cece: Oh, Lord.
Coach: Maybe you were right not to text me back, 'cause that was embarrassing. [chuckles]
Cece: I'm sorry.
Coach: No, that's cool.
Cece: Can we just be friends now? You know?

Coach: Friends.

Quote from Jess

Jess: Okay. Go straight to the gate.
Abby: Look I get why you're mad at me. Okay? But if it's any consolation, I'm a woman in my 30s about to get on a plane to go live with my mother. It's only a matter of time before I have a tiny denim backpack, too. I said I would never go back to Portland. So I guess I'm a complete failure. I'm the baby.

Schmidt: I need you to ruin this bar mitzvah.

Nick: It's all right. Again, it'll be a stage punch. Don't worry. I've done several productions of...
Both: West Side Story.
Nick: I know. You told me.
Schmidt: As a Puerto Rican Shark. Da, da.

Quote from Schmidt

Schmidt: The rabbi will then come out, he'll thank me, the hero...
Nick: Gotcha.
Schmidt: He'll offer me his daughter's hand, then, five years from now, Rachael is pregnant with Elon's little sister and we're having a beautiful family New Year's then in our vacation condo in the Florida Keys.
Nick: You're doing it again, you're talking in speeches. You've been monologuing, lately, Schmidt. Do you s- Do you, do you hear yourself?
Schmidt: I-I'm unaware of it.
Nick: You- Okay. I'm not gonna get mad at you, 'cause I respect you and you're one of-
Schmidt: I'm unaware of it.
Nick: But, like, it's weird.
Schmidt: I apologize. I'll stop doing it.

Quote from Nick

Nick: [to the old woman and a teenage boy] Oh! Well, well, well, it's a snake in the grass. How you doing? My name's Nick. You know martial arts? Swear to God you don't? You run around with this hunk anymore, this little surfer cat. I know your game. Charming the ladies with your baby blue eyes. I wish I had 'em. Breaking my heart, beautiful.
Old Woman: What?

Old Woman: We just met.
Nick: I want to rip that blouse off you and put it on me.
Old Woman: Oh, wow.
Nick: I want to wear your lipstick.
Old Woman: Well, that's interesting.
Nick: I want to rip those earrings off and put 'em on and I want to be the girl!
Old Woman: That would be wonderful.

Nick: Well, she is just a delight.
Jess: So I might have told a few lies about my sister. She's a total train wreck, and she was in jail.
Nick: Well, look, why lie? You know how many Millers have been or are currently in jail? I get it.
Jess: It's just, she's such a...
