Quotes:

Liz: You want to watch me eat this steak in front of you?
Jack: That’s what I want.
Liz: Ok!

Liz: No, I subscribe to “Giant Boats”.

Jack: “The Ocean,” says Geiss, “like business and the pillow-y abyss of a lover’s bosom, seems infinite, but all things must end”.
Liz: Pillow-y abyss?
Jack: Ignore that part.

Jack: Geiss is sending signals about retirement, about succession.
Liz: By talking about sex in a sailing magazine?
Jack: That’s exactly how Margaret Thatcher did it.

Jack: You ate that whole thing?
Liz: A dog took it. It came out of nowhere…

Liz: Hey Jenna, what’s up?
Jenna: Pretty good.
Liz: Are you ok?
Jenna: Oh I’m fine, Jenna.

Jenna: It’s the Japanese porn star diet. I only eat paper, but I can eat all the paper I want, so…

Liz: When did your mom gain all that weight?
Jenna: Oh God…*bites paper*

Liz: You are just as beautiful and talented as you ever were.
Jack: No, no, no, no. You are fat. Now go and see Dr. Spaceman right now and get this taken care of.

Jack: Oh come on. What are we back in college freshmen year? Let’s go to the common room and talk about Apartheid.

Liz: I’m sorry if I care about making the world a better place.
Jack: You should be.  It’s a complete waste of time.

Jack: How’s your love life going?
Liz: I believe that love comes when you’re not looking for it.
Jack: Did you return that wedding dress you bought?
Liz: I’m going to sell it online, but my internet’s being weird!

Liz: Oh nerds! I missed a dentist appointment this morning…

Jack: Son of a bitch. Banks! What are you doing in town? Drawn to the phallic nature of our skyline?
Devon: Very funny, Jack. How gay is this? I’m here visiting my fiancée.

Jack: You can’t, you’re gay!

Devon: No, not anymore friend. You familiar with the church of Practicology?
Jack: You mean the cult that was invented by Stan Lee?
Devon: No. I mean the religion founded by the alien king living inside Stan Lee.

Devon: It’s definitely working! I can totally feel the gay draining right out of me!

Devon: And if you read his recent interview in the Harvard Gay Business Review, you’d know he’s thinking about retirement.  But I guess I’ll found out more about that tonight at dinner. With Geiss. At a restaurant.

Tracy: So you should go get us some party hats. The pointy kind!

Tracy: She called my vanity license plate inscrutable. ICU81MI! Hilarious! Angie is in the past. Like Dracula and broadcast television…

Kenneth: Dot Com! I have an idea.
Dot Com: Well I don’t know, but it’s worth a shot!

Dr. Spaceman: Now Jenna, medically speaking for your height, your weight puts you in what we call the disgusting range.

Dr. Spaceman: How important is tooth retention to you?
Jenna: It’s…pretty important.

Jenna: What about my crazy surgical options, Dr. Spacemen?
Dr. Spaceman: Please, Dr. Spaceman was my father.   Please,  call me Leo.

Dr. Spaceman: Are you familiar with the Bradshaw Clinic?
Jenna: Am I? That’s where the Olsen Twins were separated!

Jenna: I can’t be on television looking like I just had a baby or something.
Dr. Spaceman: Now this right here, is why I got into medicine.

Jack: And Alan Garkel in legal, I don’t think he really needs that wheelchair.
Liz: No!

Kenneth: Mr. Banks! I didn’t see you there!
Devon: Well I’ve been following you for the better part of an hour, Kenneth.

Devon: I’m going to be running this place soon. There are going to be some changes to…the Page’s uniform, certainly.

Kenneth: Mr. Banks, Mr. Donaghy eats guys like you as part of a healthy breakfast.

Kenneth: Right, Mr. D? High five! Not now? Ok…

Liz: What is this, liposuction?
Jenna: Plus bone shaving and organ reduction!

Jenna: People look at me differently now. Jack, the writers, the manager at Forever 21!
Liz: That’s their problem.  Is this clinic on a boat?!

Frank: Hey, I’ve got a character for Jenna called “Me want food”! She’s in a supermarket and she keeps going “Me want fooood!”
Liz: What? No! We are not treating Jenna any differently. She’s going to play all the characters she normally plays, like Hillary Clinton.
Frank: That’s awesome. Fat Hillary!

Jenna: Can I sing and roller dance?
Liz: …Yes…

Liz: I’ve got my life together, ok?
Frank: Holy crap! Did your tooth just fall out?
Liz: Ooh…that’s not great, huh?

Tracy: Look at this. My gold record from that novelty party song.
Werewolf bar Mitzvah
“Werewolf bar Mitzvah. Spooky, scary. Boys becoming men. Men becoming wolves!”

Angie: Is there anything else you want to say, Tracy?
Tracy: Yeah, I miss you Grizz.

Kenneth: Hello Angie. I hear you’re single now. That’s cool.
Angie: What?
Kenneth: I like your top. I’m a real good sex person. I do it all the different ways.
Angie: Well, I don’t have a husband anymore, so you can come over any time.
Kenneth: Oh, I will. I’ll come over at night!

Dot Com: Good job, Kenneth!
Kenneth: You should see my A Game.

Devon: So, Dad. Can I call you Dad?
Don Geiss: Why not? I have a grandkid who calls me Don. Next time he does it, I’m marching that kid to a recruiting station.
Devon: Great story Dad!

Devon: I never should have said we were going to a restaurant.

Liz: Her center of gravity is a little different…

Jenna: Me want fooood!

Devon: Here, why don’t you take some of my steak, I could never eat this much meat.
Jack: That’s not what I hear!

Devon: I’m gonna make your heart explode.

Kenneth: You’re up early Mr. Jordan.
Tracy: I only got eleven to twelve hours of sleep last night. I’ve got something on my mind grapes I need talk to you about.

Tracy: I want you to go my house and make love to my wife, Ken!
Kenneth: Jiminy Christmas!
Tracy: My home address is in the GPS under “Da Crib” because we live on Da Crib Avenue. Now you go to Angie and you make sure you pleasure her!

Jenna: Well they did laugh.
Liz: At you Jenna, at!
Jenna: Oh right, the bad kind.

Liz: It’s like those Dove commercials never even happened.

Liz: This woman was a Mouseketeer, ma’am!

Devon: Geiss loves quitters if I understood his biography correctly. Oh wait. I didn’t!

Jack: Winthrop here wrestled at Yale.
Devon: With other dudes? Or…
Jack: Banks here says he can pin ya!
Devon: You’re so strong! Oh God, you’re having your way with me! Your back is like a barrel of snakes. Oh God, I’m just your doll! I think I love you! We’re joking, it’s all jokes.

Dr. Spaceman: Did you know, that medically speaking, people want food, but don’t need it.

Jenna: I’m keeping it!
Liz: Umm, what?
Jenna: The fat! Because people recognize me, and I get off on it!

Jenna: And it’s kinda hard to take life advice from a single woman who is using her treadmill as a hanger for a wedding dress.
Liz: Oh, I guess I’m just supposed to put it in the closet with ham fat all over it?

Jenna: And who’s wearing a one piece swim suit instead of underwear?
Liz: I have to do laundry…

Devon: Bum, bum…bum, bum…ka BOOM!

Devon: You’re insane. That’s it. I quit. No more football. Jack wins.
Winthrop: Quitter!
Devon: Just like the Greeks!

Tracy: I’m gonna kill you Kenneth the Page!
Kenneth: I’m sorry Mr. Jordan. I couldn’t do it.
Angie: This boy comes to the door, tries to kiss me, the he throws up and starts crying.
Kenneth: My body wouldn’t let me violate the sacred bonds of marriage, sir.

Angie: No more jewelry with my name misspelled no more sexually explicit skywriting, and no more white boys throwing up in my damn foyer!

Kenneth: This grilled cheese has mayonnaise in it! What?!

Jack: Is it really worth it?  I wonder.  I mean, I almost let a man die today, Caitlin.

Don Geiss: I’ve technically died twice. It’s not fun. But I’m not going to be around forever. At some point I want to spend more time with my grandkids, take my boat down to the islands, get to know my secret family up in Canada.

Don Geiss: You might run this company one day.
Jack: Thank you sir.

Jack: You mind if I watch you eat that?
Caitlin: Oh…kay…
