Quote from Schmidt
Schmidt: Nick, she asked for a story. Why don't you tell her a story?
Nick: I thought you wanted to sleep, Schmidt.
Schmidt: I don't know how to do that anymore. I've pushed through. My body doesn't know how to sleep.
Quote from Nick
Nick: All right, fine, Ruth, you want a story? Here's a story. There was once a magical bear, and he, uh... I don't know, walked on a magical tightrope to Seattle.
Ruth: Have you ever seen a magical bear?
Nick: No.
Ruth: Is there a tightrope to Seattle?
Nick: Not that I know of, Ruth.
Ruth: Ugh, this is garbage.
Nick: Well, what do you want from me? It's late at night, you asked for a story... that's the best that came out.
Quote from Schmidt
Schmidt: Cece... I love you, but... your breath is trash. It's like a... it's like a garbage Dumpster.
Nick: Thanks for saying that. We were all thinking it.
Quote from Nick
Ruth: Daddy got me this dress.
Nick: Well, you know, your dad used to, uh, dress me, too, Ruth.
Ruth: Why?
Nick: Uh, because he cared.
Ruth: Why?
Nick: I don't really know, but he did.
Ruth: Why?
Nick: Before you, I was his baby girl.
