Quote from Nick

Nick: Winston and Shelby, you guys have obviously found love, so...
Winston: No, you have no idea.
Nick: No, I do, 'cause you talk about it all the time.
Schmidt: I think we all have a pretty good idea.
Cece: Pretty clear idea.
Nick: Schmidt and Cece, you almost made a baby together. You almost made a person. Think about that! Jess... you're dating the man that I could see myself growing old with. Russell, you got a great-looking face. Your jawline could cut glass. Hold on tight, sister. Don't let that one slip away.
Russell: It's getting a little weird, Nick.
Nick: So, without further ado... Water, the source of life. [drops watering can into the tomatoes] Whoa! [everyone groaning, grumbling] It's okay, I got two of them. You know what? Go downstairs, if you want! I don't care! I got the tomatoes and I'm bettin' on me! Freeze frame! When I'm up in the air and the legs are there.

Quote from Cece

Cece: I'm leaving. I cannot believe I came here.
Schmidt: How are you upset right now? Cece, you ended this. I don't know what you want from me!
Cece: I don't want you sleeping with Nadia. Are you crazy? I don't want you sleeping with anyone. Because I like you. I can't just always say what I feel, okay? It's just... Just, whatever, Schmidt.
Schmidt: You like me. You like my personality?
Cece: I was surprised, too.

Quote from Schmidt

Nadia: Cece, the Jewish is here to make sex.
Schmidt: Uh, it's actually Schmidt. Um, we've met, uh, many times.
Nadia: Right. I hear you make sex through Cece wall. You sound like dog being stepped on. [barking weakly]
Schmidt: Any noises I make, they come from a very truthful place. I like to create a free environment in the sack.
Cece: Hey. What's going on here?
Nadia: I like his face. I want to punch, punch, punch!
Schmidt: Beautiful women... you guys can say just about anything, can't you?

Quote from Schmidt

Schmidt: Fine, twist my arm. I'll go out with the hot Russian model whose ancestors probably burned down my ancestors' village.

Quote from Jess

Jess: It was really foggy and I kept making eye contact with her nipples, and then I panicked and I invited her to dinner with Russell and me tonight.

Quote from Jess

Jess: Are you gonna let him go out with Nadia? She was kicked out of Russia, Cece. Russia. Come on, why don't you just tell him you like him?
Cece: It doesn't matter if I like him. It's over.
Jess: And you're fine with that?
Cece: Yeah.
Jess: Are you?
Cece: Yeah.
Jess: Are you?
Cece: Yeah.
Jess: Hold up. Are you?
Cece: I am gonna kill you.
Jess: But are you?

Quote from Winston

Winston: Have you seen Shelby's cat Rummikub? I mean, he is the cutest. Just the absolute cutest. All right, take a look at this picture where he woke up on my face. Can't even see my face. I look like a cat man.

Quote from Nick

Nick: You know what I don't care about? Shelby. Oh, Shelby loves puzzles. Oh, Shelby loves donuts, but hates donut holes.
Winston: Why are you hating on Shelby so much?
Nick: I used to be your Shelby! That came out wrong.
Winston: I'm sorry, I didn't know it was my fault that your life sucks and you're so miserable. Look at yourself! You look like one of those guys who crawls out of the grave in the "Thriller" video.
Nick: I want you to git.
Winston: Seriously?
Nick: I want you to git off my farm!
Winston: This is a little weird, man.
Nick: You used to be my best friend. Now, I don't know!
Winston: Talk to yourself, man.
Nick: So git!
Winston: I'm gitten!
Nick: I don't need ya!
Winston: Shut up!
