Liz: Hey did you know everyone here went out with us last night without us?
[Flashback]  Sign: Buffalo Chicken Shake is Back!
Liz: Aw! Nertz!  Nertz?  Nertz…
Tracy: Yeah Thursday Night Thunder, that’s been going on for years.

Tracy: Well I yelled Bababui at Walter Cronkite’s funeral, so I actually have no idea what’s rude or not.

Tracy: I had to take Angie to the ER; she had some complication with her pregnancy.  So that kind of trumps your little problem.
Liz: Ugh…yeah you’re right.

Tracy: Can you take care of Angie like her husband until this whole ass ache blows over?
Liz: Absolutely not.
Tracy: What about you, K?
Kenneth: I’m on it sir!

Jack: Oh my.  I haven’t seen your brow that furrow since you saw that picture of Helen Mirren in a bikini.
Liz: How is it possible?  Is she a wizard?!

Jack: Avery actually tried to get on board.  Later that night she put some moth balls behind her hears and fed me peppermints.
Liz: She is in it to win it.

Jack: I’m going in the bunker, no distractions.  I had Jonathan remove the bar and my collection of 18th century French erotica.  I’ve had to make some tough calls over the years.  Changing Sheinhart’s wig production to 100% Chinese cadaver hair, turning down Dick Cheney’s offer to be King of Iraq, Selecting the brand new logo for NBC: It’s Fresh!

Jack: Bosses need to keep their distance from their subordinates.
Kenneth: Mr. Donaghy, I have to run out to Mr. Jordan’s house.  I’ll call you when you get there so you know I’m safe.
Jack: No!  I don’t care if you’re safe.
Kenneth: I love you!

Liz: After four years I thought I was close with these people.  I thought we were a family.
Jack: Don’t say family.
Liz: …then I see them at a bar giving each other windmill high fives.
Jack: Like in Top Gun!

Liz: Oh great that sounds really fun.  [Miming] I’ll just
poor myself a drink.  Oh I dropped my glass.
Jack: Is that supposed to be a broom?  Anchor the handle… There it is.

Kenneth: Mr. Jordan, the situation here has deteriorated.
Tracy
: Great update, Ken.  Thanks for checkin’ in. Talk to you later.

Kenneth: Mrs. Jordan says she’s going to turn her rings around if she sees me again.

Kenneth: Don’t you remember your wedding vows?
Tracy
: To be honest, I couldn’t really understand anything Rick James was saying.

Frank: I had a doctor’s appointment.
Liz: Really?  For what? … Oh god it looks like the underside of an octopus.

Cerie: Liz, can I talk to you and Jenna in the office where everyone clips their toenails.
Liz: Not cool guys.

Cerie: As you know, I’m getting married on May 22nd.
Jenna: You are?  Still?
Cerie: Well it was off for awhile because my fiancé was on my dad’s yacht and got captured by pirates.  But now, thanks to the A-Team, he’s back.

Cerie: The bridesmaids are you guys, Andy Roddick’s wife, my Dutch cousins, and Penelope Cruz’s hotter sister Monica.
Jenna: You’re going to be so out of place, Liz.

Cerie: My schedules filling up now that Arlis is getting over his Stockholm Syndrome.  Oh that reminds me you might have to walk down the isle with some pirates.

Jenna: I’m doing a juice fast and it’s making me really grouchy.  [Throws paperweight.]

Liz: I’ll have that party.  Tonight.  And it’ll be fun.  And you’ll all see that I’m fun, so screw both of you!  And screw everyone out here!  Liz Lemon is having a party.  And there ain’t no party like a Liz Lemon party cause a Liz Lemon party is mandatory.

Jack: Alright Donaghy.  Follow your H.E.A.R.T.  Head equations and rational thinking.

Jonathan: Five minutes?  Popes and princesses count their Donaghy time in seconds!

Jack: I always say bosses should stay deeply involved with their subordinates.
Jonathan: Dose this mean you’re coming to my cabaret?

Khonani: Five years ago, I threatened to quit unless you got me out of the Late Night Shift.
Jack: Wow.  Other than some notable recent exceptions, NBC never guarantees employment terms five years in advance.

Jack: In my defense every April 22nd I honor Richard Nixon’s death by getting drunk and making some unpopular decisions.

Khonani: Ever since I’m little boy, I’m dreaming of hosting the Tonight Shift.

Jack: I made a promise and we’re going to keep it because this is NBC [chimes] The Biggest Loser network.

Tracy: I trained him to hate white people.  Because not to profile, but most ghosts are white.

Kenneth: Right now she just has a craving for a peanut butter and jelly sandwich.
Tracy: No.  We’re not supposed to do any sex stuff while she’s on bed rest.

Tracy: Just stay focused and take this sandwich to my wife.
[Cut] Tracy: Nope.  I’m in a strip club, my bad.

Jenna: Ice has caused a lot of ODs in the porn community.  Oh you mean frozen water?  I don’t know.

Jack: Lemon I need that phone number.
Liz: Ok let me find it…Subhas.  Scrolling…
Jack: I know you know it by heart.
Liz: 917…

Khonani: Subhas will want to leave to spend time on his hobbies.  He collects classic car [coughs] cardboard.  He collects classic cardboard.

Kenneth: I tried to stop you sir, but you threw your dog at me.

Tracy: I can’t change!  I’m like a chameleon!  Always a lizard!

Liz: I want to see that behavior that got you kicked out of the inaugural ball.
Tracy: First of all, the secret service never gave me back my T-shirt cannon.

Liz: This party is going to be off the hook.
Tracy: People don’t say that anymore.  They say Surf Party USA.

Tracy: Parties are like frisbees.  If you throw them the wrong way, they’ll veer off in a bad direction then your kid will fall into a quarry.

Tracy: Put the electric dog collar on me.
Kenneth: It would be my honor.

Jack: What if we reinvent the way people think about their nightly trash removal?
Subhas: No thank you.
Jack: What if the night shift just got a whole lot earlier.  Gentlemen, there’s a way for everyone to get what they want and for me to look like a genius and a hero.
Subhas: You’re bull crapping us.
Jack: No I’m not I’m innoventing.  A word I just innovented.  NBC: It’s fresh!

Khonani: There’s no trash Jack.  Ever since you moved Subhas to 10:00 he takes all the trash. No trash left for Khonani.
Jack: What if you and Subhas share 11:30.
Khonani: No I wouldn’t do that to 11:30.
Jack: What are you talking about?
Khonani: What are you talking about?

Kkonani: Don’t worry I have a job for me at Fox [cough] woods.  Fox Woods casino.

Tracy: This better be meetmant.  I’m imporing.
Kenneth: Mr. Jordan, it’s Kenneth Parcell.  From work and friendship.

Jenna: Wow Liz!  Good work.  This looks like the post coital suite at the NBA All Star game.

Liz: You think I don’t know what that is?!  I know about Thursday Night Thunder!  I deserve to be loved.
Frank: Oh no she’s going wide.
Liz: I am a proud single woman.
Lutz: How did it become about this?
Pete: Go out the window!  Save yourselves!

Jenna: And a professional singer, whose beautiful but doesn’t now it.
Liz: So let’s all go around the room and apologize to me.

Tracy: I can go anywhere I want.  Like Liz’s party.  Or one of those places where you can skydive over a huge fan.

Tracy: Maybe it doesn’t work on people any…AH!  It still does Ahhh!.

Jenna: Cerie didn’t even come.  That’s just a cardboard cutout off her!
Lutz: But I rescued her.

Jenna: You know who’s fun at parties?  Paris Hilton, Andy Dick, Tracy.  And they’re all gonna burn in hell.

Tracy: Oh god if you deliver me from this I promise every Sunday I’ll go to… uh… I’m through it… Pizza Hut!  I promise to go to Pizza Hut.

Lutz: You want mommy to make the monsters go away.

Liz: Run!  Run my losers!
Pete: Great party, Liz!
Liz: Everybody take some cupcakes!

Jack: Wanting to be book is not book.

Jack: Only because you look like you need it so badly.
Liz: I’m fine with that.

    I can be really dense sometimes when it comes to 30 ROCK storylines. Days after watching this episode and wondering why it contained a plotline about janitors, I just realized today that the two janitors were representing Jay Leno and Conan O’Brien, and their gripe with NBC. The title “Khonani” now makes complete sense.

    Loved that Liz finally got some recognition for being a great “mom” to her coworkers. And like all great moms, she sacrificed herself there at the end to keep them safe. Liz rules!!
