Uzo: It has, it has. Look, as you know, Ellen and I are engaged. You're my oldest friend, and I love you like a brother, and that's why I'd like you to not be my best man.

Chidi: Well, Uzo, this isn't choosing soccer teams on a playground. When something's important to me, I can make a decision. Watch. [to the waiter] Um, excuse me, excuse me. I have decided I would like to unequivocally order the pumpkin soup.
Waiter: Perfect.
