Jack · Dennis:Jack: 'Gosh, I hope you got a picture of that with the camera on your beeper.' Dennis: 'Actually, my beeper doesn't have a camera, but it does have a pedometer. Actually, not this one.'

Jack:Jack: 'What else is on my mind grapes?'

Jack · Pete:Jack to Pete: 'Did you know that men with full heads of hair on average earn 17% more than their bald counterparts? / I did not know that. / Perhaps it's because bald men are generally less informed than men with full heads of hair.'

Jack · Liz:When I first met Jack Welch, I thought he was such a great golfer, he made Bob Darnell look like Randy Barnes. / That's fine. Do that. / I don't know. Might be distasteful if Randy's widow's in the audience.

Dennis · Jack:It's like my cousin Teddy's dog. Sometimes he just doesn't wanna lick my feet. So what I do is, I hide my feet from him for a couple of days, and then when he sees them, he goes bananas. / So Jack, in this example, Liz is the dog. / And I am my feet.
Jack · Liz:Guess where I was last night. / Mark Foley's pajama party. / No. / Kandahar.

Jack:Yeah, that's right! You cut Pop's balls off! And left him in the street to die!
Jack · Liz:The Jack/Liz phone impersonation sequence: both characters on the phone, speaking in sync, finishing each other's sentences: 'If I mention anything crazy... like an invisible motorcycle... it means I'm off my meds... and should be ignored.'
Jack:Please don't hurt me. I can't help it. It just pours out of me. I'm Jack Donaghy. I'm important. I just bought the moon. Oh, my God. I'm doing it again.
Jack:Mother, I love you too. But living together is not gonna work out for me. / Yes, I went this morning. / I don't know, regular consistency?
Jack:And when you're done with that, call my wife and tell her I'm sorry about what happened with me and Keith and them.

Jack · Kenneth · contestant Jeff:Gold Case game show taping — the first contestant immediately picks the correct case and wins
Jack · second contestant:Gold Case second attempt — another contestant also immediately picks the correct case: 'Oh, gold's real heavy, isn't it?'
Jack · Kenneth:Jack's final shutdown: 'This game doesn't work. / Okay, my bad. Shut it down. Shut it down!'
Jack:'At least you got a clock radio out of it, right?'
Jack:Jack's final Gold Case verdict: 'Whose idea was this? / This is pathetic. A joke. This whole show is a joke.'
Jack:Final Gold Case line: 'This is pathetic. A joke. This whole show is a joke.' — delivered about Gold Case but also meta-referential to 30 Rock itself
Jack · Liz:Lemon, could I speak with you alone for a moment? / That's what your sister asked me last night. Booyah!
Liz · Jack:Jack asks what Liz knows about the Hapsburg empire and she says she studied 'Theatre tech'
Liz · Jack:Would I have to wear high-heel shoes? / Yes. / This will be good for you.
Jack · Liz:You're even wearing lipstick. / No. They're just really chapped.
Liz · Jack:Jack presents Liz with the dress — Liz goes to shake his hand, hurts herself on the box, reacts with 'Ow! That really hurt my hand! Dag! Who does that?!'
Jack · Liz:At the party, Liz asks if it's a date; Jack laughs dismissively: 'Lemon, I date socialites and models and actresses, Liz Hurley... in the '90s.'
Bianca · Jack:And how did you two meet? / It was part of the Big Brother Little Sister program.
Jack · Liz:So now I keep it simple. Nothing but endless, meaningless one-night stands with a carousel of super-hot women I couldn't care less about. / That's heartbreaking.
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'I think she pulled out a chunk of my hair.' Jack: 'Really? Where?' Liz shows him. Jack whistles.
Jack:Oh, just to know that she's filled with bile over me warms my heart.
Jack:I had 'lunch' with Martha Stewart and 'dinner' with her daughter, Alexis.
Jack:They're very expensive freshwater clams from the... Cuyahoga River.
Jack:making love on the floor of the Concorde. Then the next, your lawyers are fighting over who gets to keep the box your dog defecates in.
Liz · Jack:You taught your dog to poop in a box? / Bianca did. But I want that box.
Jack:I want the art supplies that I gave you on your 40th birthday and any subsequent art projects you made with them.
Jack:I want all of your parents' love letters.
Jack:Break out a bottle of champagne. But not the one that came with the shellfish, okay? Some other bottle of champagne.
Jack:I'm divorced, everyone! Who wants to grab a drink?
Jack · Tracy:Just one quick one. / I got to be downtown dressed as a ninja by 10:00.
Jack:We got to order some more champagne, go and jump on my helicopter and buzz Trump Tower until Don comes out on the roof and begs us to stop.
Jack:That is the weak married man inside you talking. I used to be like you. Always remember — marriage is a competition. And after 18 years of overtime, I am finally going to claim victory.
Jack:She is the succubus from the bowels of hell. I mean, if I were forced to remember her as I first met her... then, yes, empirically, she is very, very beautiful. But it's what's inside her that really makes her disgusting.
Jack:I wish I could touch her boobs again. She really had a fabulous pair of boobs.
Jack:I admit sometimes I would fantasize about her getting various terminal illnesses, and I would nurse her... to her death. And she would say, 'Johnny, I am in so much pain.' And I would say, 'Just hang in there a little longer, Bianca.'
Jack · Tracy:Jack's pivot at the end of his 'love' speech: '...what are you doing tonight?'
Jack:This is a Krug Clos du Mesnil, and I was saving it for a special occasion. And I thought to myself, 'My God. This is it.'
Jack:Isn't she precious? Hey, fun fact about Vlem. She originally came here to study engineering.
Jack:You tell G.E. light-bulb man, I want 'Sophie's Choice' out of my suite!
Jack · Liz:And I want Bianca to see that I'm moving on. / Well, then maybe you should call Bianca to help you carry your prostitute out of the hotel you were just ejected from.
Liz · Jack:Marry, boff, kill — Bianca. Which do you want to do? / All of them.
Jack:Uh, leave her there. It's nicer than where I found her.
Jack's lawyer · Jack:It's almost like it never happened. / I wouldn't be surprised if that 5-inch scar across my abdomen was suddenly gone.
Jack:I'm gonna shut it down, leave it vacant, open the windows, and let nature have at it.
Jack · Bianca's lawyer · Jack · Bianca:Do it. / The case could be in court for months. / Maybe years. / Damn it, Johnny.
Tracy · Jack:The dude from my checks.
Jack:Okay, false alarm. It turns out she asked him to take it out.
Jack · Liz:being in a foursome with this man can change your life. / You might want to rephrase that.
Liz · Jack:Which one is Geiss again, the bald one? / No. That one. / Where did that come from? / I painted it myself.
Liz · Jack:The one that rhymes with the name of your favorite Todd Rundgren album. / It rhymes with Hermit of Mink Hollow?
Jack · Liz:Well, why don't we come up with one and then you can call him that? Like... monkus. Fungdark.
Liz · Jack:Don't tell me to calm down, you fungdark. / Yeah, you're right. It doesn't work.
Jack:Tomorrow I'm gonna be in an intense six-hour foursome with three other men. / And one of them will be Don Geiss and he's gonna get all of my attention. / And you're just gonna sit back and watch.
Jack:I believe Tracy's referring to Carlton, the straight-laced brother from Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, 1990 through 1996. On NBC.
Jack:Are we having fun or what?
Jack:God, it's like dating Katie Couric all over again.
Jack · Tracy:Remind me, Tracy, what did you tell the president of Warner Brothers? / Told him he could suck it. / And the president of Paramount? / Told her she could kiss my delicious ass. / And how's that working for you?
Jack:instead of Ted, who's best known for getting caught using a corporate credit card at a gay strip club.
Jack:I'm sorry, Amanda, you were bound to find that out eventually.
Liz · Jack:Did you win your golf parade? / Even better. Next weekend Tracy and I are gonna double team Don Geiss with our big ideas.
Liz · Jack:Jack is found in the women's bathroom; 'This is the men's room.' / 'Oh!'
Jack:All right, champ. It's nonny time.
Jack:It's a video of a baby panda... sneezing. Sit here. Don't watch the mother, just watch the baby.
Jack:We're synergizing backward overflow.
Jack:Now, there are 140 people on this show, so go out there and make 126 people very happy.
Jack · Eddie:Eddie Donaghy. As I live and breathe. You're a disgrace! You're not the boss of me, Jack Donaghy! That's Dona-gee, not Dona-hee!
Jack · Eddie:You ruined my suit! Aw, shut up, you baby!
Jack:My dad and Eddie are a blotch on the Dona-hee name--
Jack · Liz Lemon:That's how it's pronounced. Say it. Donaghy. Right.
Eddie · Jack:Juvie, Jonestown, that time I punched Goofy. Hell, I even blinded you with a bottle rocket! / I had sex with your prom date. / I stole your identity. / I threw you out of a window. / I convinced you you had lupus. / I microwaved your parakeet. / I hated that bird.
Jack · Eddie:Maybe we should get all the Donaghy kids back together again. Aw, Jack, they don't wanna see me. Oh, come on, we're Irish. We're a forgiving people.
Jack:Now, I know there's been a lot of controversy around the church lately. You know, because of The Da Vinci Code.
Jack:This is, uh, Margaret. We just found out about her today.
Jack:Well, we've been toasting Pop for over an hour now. Maybe we should pace ourselves.
Jack:And if I don't have any accountants--
Jack:Lemon, is this about a boy?
Jack:Flower guy? Lemon, you've gone chicken killer on me over a guy whose name you don't know?
Jack:That's...very sad.
Jack:I want you... to punch your sister in the face.
Jack:I was impressed by how you take a punch, Lemon. I played dead for the worst of it, but it didn't fool your family.
Jack:To know that they'll be there after I'm dead, fighting over my corpse before it's cryogenically frozen.
Jack:I gave him and my dad a three-day head start out of love and sportsmanship.
Jack:As always, it's been a pleasure fighting with you.
Jack · Liz Lemon:Oh, I had to rehire that Liz Lemler that you fired. / And I didn't want any more trouble with her, so I had to give her a promotion too. / It's an amazing opportunity for her out at, uh, corporate headquarters. / In Connecticut?
Jack:It seems that things are lining up once again for old Liz Lemon.
Jack:Oh, no, you're not. The church already has enough lawsuits.
Jack:Whether things are good, or bad, or you're simply eating tacos in the park. There is always the crushing guilt.
Don Geiss · Jack:What's that film where he turned into a dog? / 'Fat Bitch,' sir. / That's it. I love it. / Boy, that's a great film.
Jack:Jack looks at himself in the mirror/reflective surface and says 'I'm sorry I let you down.'
Jack · Liz:You've been avoiding me, Lemon. / How do you do that without turning around?
Jack:To be perfectly honest, the first couple of people I did that to were not you, but... here we are.
Phoebe · Jack:Those were such lovely pieces. The ruby-and-diamond cluster ring was particularly exquisite. / Yeah, that was her engagement ring.
Jack:I took the money from the sale of those pieces, and I bought a sailboat. And I named it after my ex-wife, and I sank it.
Jack:It's true... the Bianca Blows is somewhere at the bottom of the Peconic Bay.
Jack:I wish I were a horse... strong, free... my chestnut haunches glistening in the sun.
Jack:I'm not a creative type like you with your work sneakers and your left-handedness.
Liz · Jack:His name is Floyd. / That's unfortunate.
Jack:I'd like to meet the man that made Liz Lemon shirk her responsibilities. Let's say Priscille, 9:00... be sure to wear a tie.
Jack · Floyd Jr.:The only other 'Floyd' I ever knew was this Korean barber who used to cut my hair down in the 50th Street subway station. / That's my dad. I'm Floyd Jr. / I'm just kidding.
Jack:Lemon, I want to kiss your boyfriend on the mouth.
Jack · Floyd · Pete:What are you drinking? / Club soda. / Oh, that's a shame. Pete.
Liz · Floyd · Jack:Yeah, yeah. No, it's very nice. / Jack bought me this painting. / Wow. / Um... is that lion eating the horse? / Or perhaps it's eating universal healthcare.
Liz · Floyd · Jack:Floyd's phone texting exchange with Jack: Jack texts 'Good night' / 'And sleep tight' / 'And don't let the bed...' / 'All right, enough. Give me that.'
Jack · Liz:'Lemon, is that you?' / 'I always sign it Floydster.'
Jack:The champagne cork/cabin pressure story: 'I don't give a damn about the masks. I'm on all fours trying to shove the corks back in the bottles.'
Jack:No. Lemon, you're the third wheel. / Men seek out the company of other men they admire and want to be like. Floyd is me 20 years ago. I'm Don Geiss 30 years ago.
Jack:20 years from now, Floyd will be me, I'm gonna be Don Geiss, and Don Geiss will be dead.
Jack:Not that I blame you, because I could take him away from you if I wanted to.
Jack · Liz:How about some kind of time-share arrangement? You can have him Monday, Wednesday, and Friday. / I don't want Friday. We have a show.
Jack:All right. How about some kind of a time-share arrangement? You can have him Monday, Wednesday, and Friday.
Jack:I'm having terrible Lemon problems. I'm eating all the time. I mean, who eats 16 flautas after midnight?
Phoebe · Jack:Listen, if you're still interested, there is another piece I'd like to show you... that you might enjoy. / I'll need to take you back to the private office. / This piece is very delicate. / Very few people have handled it. / Oh, God, I hope we're talking about the same thing.
Jack · Phoebe:Will you marry me? / No. / The ruby-diamond cluster. / I bought it back from the anonymous Arab.
Jack:The ruby-diamond cluster. I bought it back from the anonymous Arab.
Phoebe · Jack:How romantic. / Ow. // I'm sorry. / It's okay. // Ow. // Careful, my bones.
Jack:By the hammer of Thor!
Jack:Like 'get away with murdering my first wife' kind of dough.
Jack:You could get that third humidifier you always dreamed about.
Phoebe · Jack:We've just won the auction rights to a fantastic collection of Chinese erotica. Pick out a good one for me.
Jack:That's Bianca's wedding date. It was my idea.
Jack:My Princeton roommate did it the right way. Dated his college girlfriend for 13 years, and the marriage didn't last eight months. And now he's a post-op transgender.
Jack:Phoebe reset my watch to New York time while I was sleeping on the plane.
Jack:You're never gonna lose a job to a guy named Garkel.
Jack · Floyd:Nah, you're not gonna beat that. / Well-played, Garkel.
Jack:Well-played, Garkel.
Liz · Jack:Golf clubs? Not just golf clubs. These clubs once belonged to President Gerald Ford.
Jack:I haven't been above 72nd Street in over a decade.
Jack:We have an attraction that can only be described as... wolf-like. Lupine.
Jack:Who taught Tracy about anagrams?
Jack:For God's sakes, Lemon, we'd all like to flee to the Cleve. And club it up down at the Flats and have lunch with Little Richard.
Jack · Jenna:Lemon, TGS without Tracy Jordan is basically a puppet show. / You know, I'm right here.
Liz · Jack · Other Character:Floyd and I are thinking of moving. / No, you're not. / No, you're not. [Jack and someone else simultaneously]
Jack:That's how I ended up with a timeshare in Port Arthur, Texas.
Jack:Yeah, we're all models west of the Allegheny.
Liz · Jack:What is this? / This is Frank's 'Hot Baby' sketch, which is regrettable, but we have no Tracy Jordan and a show in two days.
Jack:Oh, my God. Lemon, Phoebe was right. You are infatuated with me.
Jack:Floyd is moving? / What did you do?
Liz · Jack:Yeah, Jack, I know that you fell asleep on top of her in Paris. / In Paris, France.
Jack:I think you should go. [Jack to Liz, dismissing her]
Jack:Uh, Phoebe, darling, Lemon was just leaving. [Phoebe has arrived to find Liz mid-confrontation]
Jack:Put Floyd's name on that quilt.
Jack:25 sexy moms. 50 sweaty eighth-grade boys. And one beloved American comedy star. This Wednesday on MILF Island.
Jack · Jerry Seinfeld:Besides, you owe me. Remember, St. Barts, I saved your life from that shark? / All right, Jack. I'll come back. But I still think you shot a dolphin.
Jack:There are no bad ideas in brainstorming, Lemon.
Jack · Jerry Seinfeld:Jack's stalling tactics: offering Seinfeld water, tea, coffee, ice coffee, ice tea, juice — 'all right, I'll just... give me a water if that moves it along.'
Jack:I got nothing! You've got to do this for me, please! Oh, god, I've already sold the ad time!
Jack:Lemon, don't ever say you're just you. Because you are better than you. And I am not going to let you give up. This is going to be our year.
Jack · Liz:Jack reveals he has a $54 steak he cannot eat due to his secret heart attack and asks Liz to eat it in front of him
Liz · Jack:Liz says the steak will make a great sandwich tomorrow; Jack insists she eat it right now, in front of him
Jack · Liz:'Pillowy abyss of a lover's bosom' — Jack tells Liz to ignore that part of the Geiss quote
Liz · Jack:Liz asks: 'By talking about sex in a sailing magazine?' Jack responds: 'That's exactly how Margaret Thatcher did it.'
Jack · Liz:Jack turns around to find Liz has eaten the entire steak; she claims 'A dog took it. He came out of nowhere.'
Jack:Jack flatly tells Jenna: 'No...no, no, no — you are fat. Now go see Dr. Spaceman right now and get this taken care of.'
Jack:Jack mocks Liz's progressive stance: 'Oh, come on. What, are we back in college freshman year? Let's go to the common room and talk about apartheid.'
Jack:Jack: 'You should be [sorry for caring about the world]; it's a complete waste of time and it prevents you from dealing with this.'
Jack:Jack asks Banks: 'You drawn to the phallic nature of our skyline?' when Banks appears in New York
Jack · Banks:Jack: 'You can't [get married], you're gay.' Banks: 'No, not anymore, friend.' Jack: 'You familiar with the church of practicology?' Banks: 'You mean the cult that was invented by Stan Lee?' Jack: 'The religion founded by the alien king living inside Stan Lee.'
Jack:Jack reveals that Alan Garkel in legal 'doesn't really need that wheelchair'
Jack:Jack's diplomatic response about Jenna: 'Oh, her center of gravity is a little different.'
Devin/Banks · Jack:Devin tells Jack he'd never rat him out about the heart attack — 'Wouldn't want to let you off that easy.' Then offers Jack steak, noting he 'could never eat this much meat.' Jack replies: 'That's not what I hear.'
Jack · Geiss:Episode ends with a callback: Jack is now the one being watched eating a steak. Geiss asks 'You mind if I watch you eat that?' — mirroring the opening scene.
Jack:Jack gestures grandly at New York City telling what appears to be a child or subordinate 'one day sir, this whole city will be yours'
Jack · Liz:Liz interrupts the moment and Jack immediately responds 'Oh hey, can I talk to you? You always ruin everything.'
Liz · Jack:'What animal best describes you?' / 'An eagle with the head of a bear.' / 'Thank you. Your respect means the world to me, Lemon.'
Jack · Liz:Jack reveals he hired a private investigator to investigate himself
Jack · Liz:Jack deflects Liz's therapy talk by using a fake phone call: '- ring ring! - Hello. I'm sorry, I have to take this.'
Jack · Liz:Jack turns Liz's therapy overshare back on her: 'Well, you do the same thing with your therapist every week, don't you?'
Jack · Jenna:Jack to Jenna: 'And on a personal level, I just like you more when you're fat.'
Jack:Jack: 'I was at the 1976 Democratic National Convention — but it's okay, I was there beating up hippies.'
Jack:Jack's family skeletons: 'My brother Eddie sells faulty sprinkler systems to elementary schools. My cousin Tim fixes NBA games. My mother's an olympic-level racist. But as for the rest, they're too drunk to do much of anything.'
Lenny · Jack:PI: 'Any weird sex stuff I should know about?' / 'You know what? Don't tell me. I like to find that out on my own. I'm a watcher.'
Jack · Lenny:Jack defends his all-white country club: 'That is not an all-white club. What about Johnny Carlos? He's ethnic.' / 'He's the King of Spain, Jack. I don't think that counts.'
Jack:Jack on his undocumented worker: 'I could never pay an English-speaking person that little. They'd starve.'
Lenny · Jack:The PI's final question: 'You don't have a massive collection of cookie jars, do you?' — followed by a long pause and Jack: 'How did you find out about that?'
Jack:Jack attending a cookie jar collectors convention under the pseudonym 'Victor Nightingale' — 'Collector of the Year. Congratulations, Victor Nightingale.' / 'Thank you. Yes, I'm Victor Nightingale.'
Jack:Jack: 'You wish it was a gay thing. This is worse.'
Jack · Lenny:Lenny presents a fake photo of Giuliani with antique wooden dolls, then: 'That's a fake! Giuliani doesn't collect dolls.' / 'Yeah, you're right. He doesn't. Because he incinerated them! In 1989, the year he ran for mayor. He looks so happy.'
Jack · Lenny:Jack, handing over his cookie jars: 'They'll be taken to Jersey City and incinerated.' / Jack immediately: 'Oh, no. No, no, no, no. I can't have that — give that to me.'
Jack · Liz:Jack's cookie jar that says 'Mom' on it — which he insists is 'an upside-down wow'
Jack:Jack's backstory: 'We never had any cookie jars in my home because my mother never baked us any cookies because she never felt we deserved any cookies.'
Jack:Jack: 'The guy with the weird hobby never gets the corner office.'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'Lemon, I'm impressed. You're beginning to think like a businessman.' / Liz: 'A businesswoman.' / Jack: 'I don't think that's a word.'
Jack:Jack explains his strategy for Angie: 'I think you're gonna have to fight her.' — then breaks down the tactical approach: 'I think Angie's right-handed, so you have to work her clockwise.'
Jack:'Every time I meet a new person I figure out how I'm gonna fight 'em. You have a gimpy left knee, right?'
Jack · Liz:Jack physically demonstrates fighting technique on a reluctant Liz: 'You want to lean in to take away their momentum. Hands up, come on!' / 'I don't want to.' / 'Lean in, come on.' / 'Oh, Jack, stop it!'
Jack:Jack looks at the cookie jar: 'Ah, look at that kooky old cookie jar. I like the upside-down 'wow' on it.'
Jack:Jack: 'Some people have so many problems that there aren't enough cookie jars in the world to contain them.'
Jack · Kenneth:Jack gives his entire collection to Kenneth — then instructs him on proper handling: 'Always hold them squarely at the base, never by the lid.' And signs off as: 'Tell Patty and Beth and all of them that Vic Nightingale says hello.'
Jack:Final line: 'Are you happy now, you son of a bitch. You son of a bitch.' [Jack, presumably to the cookie jar or GE itself]
Jack:The GE Followship Award — presented annually to the person who best exemplifies a follower
Jack:Jack uses the word 'adverlingus' to describe product integration
Liz · Jack:He has a microwave for a head! But it's such an excellent GE microwave.
Jack · Liz:Where do you invest your money, Liz? / I have, like, 12 grand in checking. / Are you an immigrant?
Jack:You go forth and be crazy... except no dog fighting, okay? That seems to be the one thing that's off limits these days.
Frank · Jack:Barry the humping dog is shopping for a GE washer and dryer. / Have not seen that before. / Sharp idea.
Jack:Fire her. And don't ever make me talk to a woman that old again.
Jack · Jonathan · Liz:Yes, you can. It's easy. Observe. Jonathan, you're fired! / What? No! God, no! No, I won't fire her.
Liz · Jack:You're like the talking mailbox. / I'm gonna assume that's a Haldeman reference. In which case, I thank you.
Jack:No, this is my show. And once a week I rent it out to the good people at the erectile dysfunction companies.
Jack:Suck it up, nerd.
Jack · Tracy:Tracy, what if I told you that the one thing you cannot do is therapy? / You're not my dad! We're doing therapy!
Tracy · Jack:All I know is he's from funky north Philly. He worked in a Campbell's soup factory. And he had a droopy lip due to an unattended root canal. / I think I can do this.
Jack · Tracy:The therapy roleplay scene spirals into Jack playing multiple characters (Tracy's dad, his mom, a white stepfather, a Latina neighbor Mrs. Rodriguez) with increasingly absurd results
Jack · Tracy · Therapist:Hey, dummy! / I'm mad at you too. Why you gotta act out that way? / That's not exactly what I had in... / 'Cause you left me, dad! / I was young and confused and your moms didn't want me around no more. Now, pass me them damn collard greens!
Jack:Lady, just because I'm an ignorant black man. And you paid me a nickel to bust up your chifforobe, doesn't give you the right to call me ridiculous just 'cause I'm proud of my son.
Jack · Tracy:They got me. The honkeys shot me. / No, dad! Don't die! I love you, dad! / I don't wanna dog fight no more!
Jack:You know, it's too bad you didn't know Howard Cosell when you were growing up. 'Cause I had that one in my pocket the whole time.
Jack:Jack: 'Never go with a hippie to a second location.'
Liz · Jack:I have to do that thing that rich people do where they turn money into more money. Can you teach me how to do that? / With my eyes closed.
Liz · Jack:Oh, and by the way, I want to send Rosemary $400 a month for... forever. / You should, that woman is unemployable.
Liz · Jack:Rosemary says that women become obsolete in this business when there's no one left that wants to see them naked. / You make enough money, you can pay people to look at you naked.
Jack · Liz:Oh, and by the way, GE has a problem with the dog penis sketch. / I'll change it. [beat] / Hey, what about cat penises?
Jack:We're going green, Lemon. And do you know why? To save the earth? So we can drain the remainder of its resources.
Jack · Jared:Greenzo is America's first non-judgmental, business-friendly environmental advocate. The free market will solve global warming, if that even exists.
Jack:They love him in every demographic. Colored people, broads, fairies, commies. Gosh, we gotta update these forms.
Jack:Yeah, right, Lemon. I'm gonna clone Geiss, then compete with a Geiss clone for the CEO position? Think it through.
Jack:I could make up some excuse, Kenneth, but I have too much respect for you. During your party, I'll be home listening to some Schubert. And, uh, ironically, viewing some Canadian pornography.
Jack:Bob Logan from Texas Instruments is gonna be there? Logan must be in contention for the CEO spot as well.
Jack:Well, before, when I told you I didn't wanna come to your party, I was just kidding! Isn't that a fantastic joke?
Jack:So that's the way you wanna play this?
Jack:Sold by our company. [Jack's quiet response to Greenzo's pitch about green technology]
Liz · Jack:Wow, is that true? / It doesn't matter if it's true. He works for that money.
Jack:I knew we should have gone with Angie Harmon.
Jack:You either get on board, or you're gonna wake up on that island with Phil Donahue and the electric car.
Jack:We're developing that technology!
Jack · Al Gore:I may have gotten him here under false pretenses. / So I'm excited to see this trash-powered car of yours.
Al Gore · Jack:We met when Jack was an intern for Senator Ted Kennedy. Let me tell ya, Jack was the most liberal guy—
Jack:Al, we're with you on this whole planet thing. I mean, look at the set we built with the smiley-face earth and some green things.
Jack:Yes, or... you could put on a silly hat and tell the kids how outsourcing means cheaper toys at Christmas.
Jack:Oh boy, okay. This earth is ruined! We gotta get a new one.
Jack · Liz:Don't panic, Lemon. It's probably not a chemical attack. / What do you mean 'probably'?
Jack:It's probably just a strange wind pattern coming off those factories in Staten Island, where food flavors are made.
Jack · Liz:I don't think it's Northrax. / What's Northrax? / It's a chemical agent we sold to the Saudis in the 1980s. It smells exactly like maple syrup. But I don't think this is it. / Well, how do you know? / Because Northrax kills you within ten seconds.
Jack · Barber:Make me look like this. / Right, like that's a stretch.
Jack:After all, your hair is your head suit.
Liz · Jack:Um, I don't think he's real. / Oh, I assure you, Lemon, John McCain is very real.
Jack · Unnamed Conservative:When it comes to hair, no one is more bitchy than conservative males. / Good lord, Donaghy. Did you comb your hair with a chicken bone?
Jack:Sheinhardt Wig Company pin — 'NOT POISONING RIVERS SINCE 1997' on the back
Jack · C.C.:Whiskey, straight up. / I'll have a white rum with diet ginger ale and a splash of lime. / Wow, I never would have pegged you for a University of Tennessee sorority girl.
Waiter/Kenneth · Jack:Sir, here's your Nancy Drew. / For men, it's called a Hardy Boy.
Jack · C.C.:And thank you for letting me try the thing I tried. I'm... sorry I dropped you. / Oh, no, it was great. I mean, who knew that ottoman had wheels, right?
Jack · C.C.:You didn't tell me you're a congresswoman! / I just ended my first year. / [cutaway to TV showing her attacking Sheinhardt]
Liz · Jack:I think my middle eastern neighbor is a terrorist, and I don't know what to do. / That's ridiculous, Lemon. Some of our greatest patriots have been of Middle Eastern descent. And I'm appalled to hear you engage in racial profiling like that. [beat] I'm kidding. Be an American — call it in.
Jack · Liz:If a bleeding heart liberal like you has any suspicions... / I know, right?
Jack · C.C.:Nice ring tone, Jack. / That's not my ring tone. I hate that San Francisco sound. / How am I calling myself?
Jack · C.C.:These Verizon Wireless phones are just so popular. I accidentally grabbed one belonging to an acquaintance. / Well, sure, 'cause that Verizon Wireless service is just unbeatable. I mean, if I saw a phone like that on TV, I would be like, 'Where is my nearest retailer so I can...get one?'
Jack:God, I wanna kiss you on the mouth to stop you from saying such ridiculous things.
Jack · C.C.:They have no other documented health problems, you know. / They're ORANGE!
C.C. · Jack:In 1998, I got shot in the face by my neighbor's dog. / Oh, C.C., I'm so— wait, what?
Jack:You know, I thought you made love like an ugly girl. So present, so grateful.
Tracy · Jack:I've had plenty of women mad at me the morning after. Just don't let her light your sneakers on fire in the bathtub. / Oh, she would never do that, Tracy. She's a very special woman.
Jack:I don't care if she is beautiful, brilliant, and she does it like her dad's a minister.
Pete · Jack:Some dudes took Raheem last night. / Sounds like an American hero saw something and said something.
Jack · Pete:You seem to be defending Raheem an awful lot. I'd hate to have to make another phone call. / No, we're cool. Uh, I renounce Raheem. Raheem's a bad guy. USA number one!
Jack · Tracy:I've gotta go somewhere, and I can't be seen, and cabs don't go there. / Sure, where is it? / Clinton's office in Harlem. / I know where that building is. I get my Jamaican meat pies there.
Jack:How you wanted to brush my hair as foreplay. How you made me that western omelet at 4:00 A.M.
Jack:We'll ignore our differences till the sex goes bad, then we'll... walk away bitter and angry.
Jack:What do you say we go find a spot and defile this place?
Liz's neighbor · Liz · Jack:Hey! I made waffles. / Thank god. / Yeah.
Jack:Big night, Lemon? Let me guess. Meatball sub, extra bread, bottle of NyQuil, TiVo 'Top Chef,' a little Miss Bonnie Raitt, lights out.
Jack:Then you won't mind when I tell you that Casey gets voted off tonight.
Jack:Dijonaise is a boy's name? Pardon me.
Jack:Jack's story about his high-school baseball team winning despite being 'all white' against a team that was 'completely...' trailing off
Jack:That's right. You shoot for the stars.
Jack:That's why I sponsor a charity that gives away tuxedoes to homeless people. It was a beautiful ceremony. Mazel tov.
Liz · Jack:I can't believe I did that. I told myself I would never lie about my age. / These things happen, Liz. I had my 'no sex with Asians' rule. But then one day you walk into Sharper Image, and there's Quan.
Jack:It's like this great country of ours. We can go into any nation, impose our values, and make things better. It's what Bush is doing all over the globe.
Jack:Where did you two meet? An Amber Alert?
Jack:Did you take an Ambien with your Franzia and sleepwalk here?
Jack:Where did you two meet? An Amber Alert?
Jack:Boy, the art in here is hung really level.
Jack:You've got money, status, naturally thick hair, a decent set.
Jack:He's hot, poor, and eager to please. Just buy him a few gifts, never give him your home phone number, and if you set a curfew, stick to it.
Jack · Tracy · Jack · Tracy:Tracy, I only wanted to help. But now things are out of control. We have two options. One, we can cut and run and betray the people that we made this commitment to. Or you and I can form a coalition. / No way, J.D. / Tracy, I thought you cared about these kids. / Just because I don't support Jack Donaghy doesn't mean I don't support the kids.
Kenneth · Tracy · Tracy · Jack:But, sir, every one of them wrote you a letter asking you to come back. / Wow. / Jack, if I come back to the team, can I throw these things away and not have to read them? / Tracy, I'll pay somebody to read them for you.
Jack · Tracy:One word. Surge. / That's two words!
Jack:I can't believe we're winning. I knew the surge would work.
Opposing Coach · Jack:Hey, there's no way that those batters were born after 1993. / These Dominican birth certificates say otherwise.
Jack:All May-December relationships end in humiliation. Sexual incompatibility, social faux pas, meeting their parents. It's classic.
Jack · Liz:A younger companion makes you feel more alive. Opens you up to new experiences, fresh points of view, stimulating conversation. / Stop repeating what I say.
Jack · Liz · Jack · Liz:Of course, there are exceptions. Thank God I'm off the market. / Oh. Are you seeing someone? / What? No. I mean this company is my girlfriend. She gives me all the loving I'll ever want or need. / That's gross, Jack.
Jack:Jack sends his assistant to a nonexistent Italian bakery in Queens to get him out of the way

Jack · C.C. · Liz:Take off your pants suit. / Right back at you. / Oh! Workplace!
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'That woman you met this morning in my office is not a colleague of mine. We are lovers.' Liz: 'Oh, that word bums me out unless it's between the words meat and pizza.'
Jack:Jack: 'Okay, if I can't say lovers, you can't say feelings.'
Jack:This corporation has a very strict 'bros before hos' policy.
Jack · C.C.:Jack to C.C. about the dinner guest list: 'We had to eliminate anybody with any influence or connections or stature, so that pretty much left you. Then we added Kenneth so you would have somebody to talk to.'
Jack:Jack to Liz, completely sincerely: 'I have to say, you are the most beautiful woman in this room right now.'
Jack:Jack: '$5 million each? That's NBA sexual-assault money.'
Jack:Jack: 'I like when a woman has ambition. It's like seeing a dog wearing clothes.'
Jack · James Carville:Jack and C.C. spot James Carville in the elevator. Jack asks: 'How do you and Mary Matalin make it work? She's a brilliant, patriotic Republican strategist, and you, let's face it, are a pinko nutjob.'
C.C. · Jack:C.C. uses the John Legend CD as a pretense to see Jack: 'I don't know why it was so urgent you have it before noon.' C.C.: 'It was just an excuse.'
Jack:Jack: 'C.C., these people are my peers, my heroes, my past and future Secret Santas.'
Jack:Jack's public announcement: 'She's my liberal, hippy-dippy mama. My groovy chick. My old lady. She wants to tax us all to death and make it legal for a man to marry his own dog.'
Jack:The photo scanner/paper shredder has the switch labeled 'PS' for photo-scan and then trails off implying 'PS' could also mean paper-shred — Jack realizes the fatal design flaw mid-explanation

Jack:Jack invited his mother 'out of paralyzing Irish guilt' but her plane was grounded by 'Hurricane Zapato' — 'Ha! Look at that. That's where she lives. Jupiter. The eye of the storm.'
Jack · Jonathan:Jack's phone plays 'Jingle Bells' — he tries to dismiss the caller by saying 'Tell her I'm...' but then recognizes it's his mother calling
Colleen · Jack:Colleen walks into Jack's office and immediately says 'Isn't this the office you had before? I thought you were up for a big promotion.' Then: 'Only two? I don't like the odds. I think you better let that dream go.'
Colleen · Jack · Liz:Colleen listens to Jack's voicemail from C.C. and asks 'Is she Spanish?' When Jack asks 'What if she was, Mother?', Colleen replies 'My thanks to the peanut gallery.'
Jack:Jack's description of Christmas: 'Sitting with friends and family around a crackling fire, waiting for the owl meat to cook.'
Jack:Jack follows the owl meat line by saying 'Sometimes I don't think you people understand Christmas at all.'
Dick Lemon · Jack:Dick Lemon asks Jack if Liz is 'the best employee you've ever had or what?' — beat — Jack simply replies: 'No.'
Jack · Liz:Jack tells Liz her family is 'strange' — not because of Mitch's condition, which he accepts immediately — but because her parents seem 'supersupportive.' 'Was she taunting you?'
Colleen · Jack:Colleen inspects the bathroom Jack points her to: 'Well, that is close, isn't it?' — implying the bathroom proximity is alarming, then 'Yeah, I'll be right out.' from inside the bathroom before he can respond.
Jack:After Colleen enters the bathroom, Jack says quietly to himself: 'She should have been there.' — referring to C.C.'s absence

Jack:Jack cuts through the Lemons' cheerfulness: 'Why don't we cut the charade and you two tell me what exactly it is you want from me?'
Dick Lemon · Jack:Jack laces up his ice skates; Dick Lemon says 'Jack, you laced those up like a professional.' Jack replies: 'Nice to have some positive reinforcement, isn't it?'
Jack:Jack insists he doesn't need the Lemons' positive reinforcement: 'In my case, they're just stating the facts. I do look like the Arrow shirt man, I did lace up my skates professionally, and I did do a fabulous job finishing my muffin.'
Jack · Dick Lemon:Jack says 'You wish you were in my family' to Liz — then immediately pivots to asking about the Disney cruise: 'So this Disney cruise in March. Are you in or out?'
Jack:"I did do a fabulous job finishing my muffin."
Jack · Colleen:Jack tells Colleen: 'Mother, there are terrorist cells that are more nurturing than you are.'
Jack:Jack's speech about the NBC Christmas tree: 'That is not a Christmas tree. It's a way to lure tourists into the basement to buy $20 salads.'
Jack:Jack to Colleen: 'See, Mother? Not all species eat their young.' — then immediately: 'Let's change the subject. Politics.'

Jack:Zip it. Milf Island is on.
Jack · TGS Staff:Who said this? / Not me. / Not me. / It wasn't me. / I wasn't even working that day.
Jack:Remember this? Deborah and Shauna squaring off at Erection Cove.
Jack · Liz:Before she was cast on Milf Island, she was just a struggling actress living in L.A. / Wow, that's inspiring.
Jack:Then I'll be at Erection Cove. Congratulations, Jack.
Jack:When you meet with Deborah, have her do her Indian cab driver impression. She really pulls it off.
Jack · Liz:The critics said that same thing about Shakespeare. / Yeah, but Shakespeare never had a confessional shower sponsored by Dove Pro-Age.
Jack:So you have seen the show.
Jack:It has sex, lies, puberty, betrayal, relay races.
Liz · Jack:I don't think eating bugs to earn tampons... / Episode nine. 22 million viewers.
Jack:You know, if you Google the phrase 'class A moron,' my name pops up first now. So step aside, Randy Quaid.
Jack:When I was a child, I had a terrible stutter... they called me a class A moron... My only other classmate was named Gilly. He'd fallen through the ice as a child and was technically dead for 57 minutes.
Jack:They taught us to sweep sawdust so we could find work at a mill.
Jack:I feel like I'm back in that boiler room making little piles of sawdust while Gilly plays with himself in the corner.
Liz · Jack:I'm sorry, did you want something? / I just wanted to tell you... that I've narrowed it down to Toofer or Frank.
Jack · Liz:Mr. Geiss, I-- oh, hello, Vice President Cheney. / I'm gonna kill you. / Yes, I hope Deborah wins as well.
Jack:No, they're not real, unfortunately.
Jack:They called me Stammerhead Shark, lemon. / Mrs. Stutterworth, Stutterfingers... Stuttermilk Pancakes. The butter thing opened up a lot of doors for them.
Jack:Gilly chewed through his headgear.
Jack · Kenneth:Is it because I made you work late last night? Yes, sir. That was it. I was here folding Milf Island tee shirts until 2:00 in the morning. And then you didn't even offer me one.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, do you have anything you want to add? / [long pause] You disgust me.
Jack:Soccer moms, NASCAR dads, white-collar pervs, and the obese.
Jack:Kenneth said he was folding tee shirts until 2:00 A.M. But the Post goes to press at midnight. Even if he somehow did bump into a reporter in the elevator, it would be too late.
Liz · Jack:I'm sure the person who said it probably didn't mean it. / No, they meant it. They think I'm a moron, just like Gilly and everyone else. / Even Gilly made fun of you?
Jack · Liz:You know, it's funny, Lemon. I g-guess I'll always b-b-b-be that k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k-k- [Liz confesses]
Jack:I know.
Jack · Liz:And you do know how you're gonna make this up to me, don't you? / Oh, god. / I've gotta write the Deborah show. She wants to sing in every episode.
Liz · Jack:You knew. How? / No onion rings? Ugh, this place can eat my poo! / You say that word a lot more than you realize.
Jack:I've got to admit I never thought I'd get you. I mean, the stutter, the certificate, Gilly.
Jack:Yeah, well, I made up all that stuff about the extra baby foot too. I made that up — that was to make you feel better.
Jack:Heel, toe, Lemon. Heel, toe.
Jack:I need some women to attend so it doesn't turn into another giant sausage fest.
Jack:C. Nor and I had a falling-out after I switched to another dojo.
Jack · Liz · Dennis:Dennis Duffy, beeper salesman and your ex-boyfriend. And Dateline predator. Exonerated Dateline predator. The whole thing was one big silly misunderstanding. Like the Giuliani campaign.
Jack:Jonathan, why don't you put on more of that cologne? — delivered by Jack as a way of dismissing the conversation
Jack:Good god. When did the party become so boring? The Democrats have all the good celebrities.
Kenneth · Jack:Oh, no, sir, I don't vote Republican or Democrat. Choosing is a sin, so I always just write in the lord's name. / That's Republican — we count those.
Jack:Tracy. My friend. Have you ever considered becoming the celebrity face of the Republican party?
Jack · Tracy:Do you like lower taxes? / If I paid taxes, I sure would.
Jack · Tracy:How about gun ownership? / Go on.
Jack · Tracy · Dotcom · Jack:And let none of us forget the GOP is the party of Lincoln. / Lincoln was a Republican? / Actually, today's Republican party would be unrecognizable to Lincoln. He fought a war to preserve federal authority over the states. That's not exactly small government. / Dotcom, this need you have to be the smartest guy in the room is... off-putting.
Jack:My cologne is distilled from the bilge water of Rupert Murdoch's yacht.
Tracy · Jack:My fellow blackmericans— / Can I just say black Americans? There's no such thing as blackmericans.
Tracy · Jack · Tracy:No matter what, blackmericans are gonna always vote Democrat. / They will, won't they? / Unless... black people, don't vote. Just don't do it.
Jack:Dennis is off the show. I booked the 911 bird. Winston dialed 911 with his beak and said fire, but only because he didn't know the word for rape.
Jack:Now if you'll excuse me, I'm off to Chinatown to pick up some human growth hormones so that Mr. Jordan's tigers don't realize that he's aging.
Jack:I'd have my assistant sit on his naughty stool if he didn't love it so much.
Jack:The head of the Stress Ball division hanged himself.
Jack:I want my mother to know this before she dies, so she goes to her grave a defeated woman.
Jack:I guess that rules out the Federal Reserve.
Jack:Uh... hugging... so ethnic.
Jack:Geiss has stacked the Board of Directors with the most reliable collection of sycophantic yesmen this side of an Al Franken book signing.
Jack:His golf cronies, his Army buddies, various unemployable family members, and his hunting dogs.
Jack:Why am I smelling self-tanning cream and teeth whitener?
Jack:Once they cast Clay Aiken in Spamalot, I knew it was only a matter of time for you to show up here.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, where do you see yourself in five years? / Realistically, teaching improv on cruise ships.
Liz · Jack:I'm feeling pretty drunk. / Well, it's business drunk. It's like rich drunk. Either way, it's legal to drive.
Jack:Lemon, you just have to find a subordinate you can push the blame onto. That's why I love Jorgenson here.
Liz · Jack:Jeez, Jack, offer to buy a girl dinner first. / Classic Lemon!
Jack:Hey, nerds! Guess who's got two thumbs, speaks limited French, and hasn't cried once today? This moi.
Jack:He's like me yesterday. I hate him.
Jack · Devon Banks:Banks, don't do this. Don't marry Kathy. It may not be worth it. / Why not? We're absolutely perfect for each other. She loves that I work out a lot and talk to people.
Jack · Liz:Mr. Geiss? / Oh, blurgh!
Devon Banks · Jack:I hate-respect you. / And I you.
Jack · Devon Banks:I hate-respect you. — And I you.
Jack · Dr. Spaceman:Couldn't you just, you know, inject something right into his heart? / Oh, I'd love to, but we have no way of knowing where the heart is. See, every human is different.
Jack · Kathy Geiss:It was Jorgenson's fault! / Fair enough.
Jack:Hillary Clinton is president, sir! I thought I would just try to scare you out of it.
Jack:This morning, I had to cut my own cantaloupe.
Jack:They're moving me from the 52nd floor down to my new office... on 12. 12! You've got to wake up, please!
Jack:By the way, you know who hates unicorns? Mark Wahlberg.
Jack:I've been sleeping with the Cindy Crawford of corporations for the last 22 years. What am I supposed to do? Just lie down with some skank like 3M?
Jack:Bush? Has it gotten that bad? Good God, I'd rather work for an American car company than jump on that sinking ship.
Jonathan · Jack:Jonathan playing 'I Will Remember You' on a recorder as Jack walks away
Jack:Everything's great. Yeah, I'm really... crushing it.
Jack:Why are you going to 12? 12? Did I hit 12? I wanted, uh... 4012, which is 52, where I work. Business.
Jack:The elevator door closes on Jack. He reads the floor indicator. It says 'Failure.'
Jack:I even stopped to catch a snowflake with my tongue, but, evidently, that's some sort of signal in Chelsea.
Hospital Worker · Jack:You have to leave GE. / What did you say? / Geriatric Extended Care. That's what this wing of the hospital is called.
Jack:It's in their contract.
Jack · Liz:I'm a bitch, I'm a lover? I'm a child, I'm a... Mother!

Jack:Jack: 'I don't like to think of this President as a lame duck. I think of him as a lame eagle.'
Cooter · Jack:The ceiling is visibly leaking; Cooter insists 'No, it's not. We've looked into it, and it's not.'
Cooter · Jack:No pens in the government office — Cooter has 'gotten used to it' and writes his extension number in the leaking ceiling water

Jack · Liz:The Sabor de Soledad revelation: Mexican cheese curls get their 'special tangy flavor from evaporated bull semen' and were causing false positives on pregnancy tests
Jack:Jack: 'Oh, that explains your hair's thickness and shine.'

Jack · Liz:Jack: 'I'm a little afraid to ask if you're still eating them.' / Liz: 'They're so good.'
Jack · Liz:Jack reveals the President gave him a nickname too: 'The Jacker.' Both Jack and Liz react with resignation.
Jack · Cooter:The gay bomb actually works on Jack and Cooter in the committee room — both men start to feel weird
Jack · Liz:Hello, pussycat. / A lot of ladies get right in the car after that line, you creepy piece of... Jack!
Jack:That information is classified at least until Cheney dies. Which is going to be a long time from now. That man is mostly metal.
Jack:So what's with the outfit, Lemon? Did the people at that makeover show finally respond to your letter?
Jack:I'll take it.

Liz · Jack:And if my home evaluation goes well I will be a mother by 50. / We really can have it all.
Jack · Liz:She touched me. / Who? / Kathy Geiss, she touched me in my swimsuit area.
Jack:It's not at all erotic and fun, like when men do it to women.
Jack:How far would I have to let her go to get my job back? Are we talking over the shirt? Frontsies, backsies? Or would I really have to give her my gift?
Jack:If I pleasure Kathy to get my old job, I'm no better than Devin.
Jack · Liz:Even if it takes five years. / I thought you said nine years? / I was promoted again this morning. I'm now Director of Mail Systems.
Jack:What I'm saying is don't dress for the job you have, dress for the job you want to have. So now, Manny... Tomorrow I show up for work dressed as a Mexican wrestler.
Jack · Devin:Banks, you've got to get a hold of yourself. / Oh, I'm running it. I have a plan to quadruple profits by the year 2015. / How are you possibly going to do that? / The old-fashioned way, Jack. I'm gonna shut it down. I'm gonna shut the whole thing down for two years.

Jack · Elisa:Elisa performing the medical examination in rapid Spanish — Jack bewildered: 'You're talking so fast. Is that the subjunctive?'
Jenna · Jack:Jenna, asked if we need a 'mythical soul mate to hold our hand through life': 'Why? Do you want to get married? I'll do it.'
Jack:Yes and no, Jenna. Yes, I'm talking. Uh, no, we do not have the music.
Jack:Jack arrives with 'a '65 Moët and some Pizza-Blasted Pringles'
Jack:I wasn't sure what you were serving, so I brought a '65 Moët and some 'Pizza-Blasted' Pringles.
Jack:Jack surveys Elisa's large, smiling Puerto Rican family gathering: 'All of these people are your family? Why are they smiling so much? Who's being ostracized?'
Jack · Tracy:Jack: 'I don't want to die alone. And now, I don't have to. Because... I'm in love with my mother's nurse.' / Tracy: 'Now you have what me and Angie have. Minus the hypertension.'
Jack:Jack: 'Lemon, have you ever had a piragua? It's exactly like a snow-cone, except they call it a piragua.'
Jack · Jenna:Jack admits they don't have the music rights either, so Jenna is singing a song he wrote himself five minutes ago: '# Break another little chunk of my love now, mister?'
Jack · Liz:The hotel was overbooked. I texted you. / No. No, you didn't! / Oh, I forgot to hit send. / Just hold on a second. [long pause] There you go.
Elisa · Jack:He's a sweet, old man with advanced dementia. Totally disconnected from reality. Oh, that reminds me. I owe Lou Dobbs a call.
Jack · Elisa:I'm sorry. What do you call yourself? / A Puerto Rican. / No, I know you can say that. But what do I call you? / A Puerto Rican. / Wow. That does not sound right.
Dr. Spaceman · Jack:Jack, I need to ask you to drop your pants. [cut to: shot] That's it. Have a sucker.
Jack · Dr. Spaceman:Can I ask you a question as a woman? / You may, Jack. / Are you going to alter your voice or dress up in any way?
Liz · Jack:Jack, you can't call her that! / That's what I thought.
Jack · Dr. Spaceman:Yes, Lemon. Important people get better health care. They also get better restaurant reservations, bigger seats in planes -- / A more refined class of prostitute... / For me, it's really about the companionship.
Jack:When is modern science going to find a cure for a woman's mouth?
Jack · Mr. Templeton:Who's going to tell them? Him? / Hey, it's me. Matlock. I need your help.
Liz · Jack:Two-tiered health care is a crime. You know, in Cuba, everybody gets equal healthcare. / What a surprise. You've seen the Michael Moore movie. / Think again, Jack. I saw the trailer when I went to see Alvin and the Chipmunks.
Jack · Elisa · Mr. Templeton:I had a wonderful time last night. / Yeah, I did, too. / Are you with Mr. Templeton now? / How I envy him. / I wish you would exercise my muscles... ...so they don't atrophy.
Jack:You sound just like Lemon. Come with me tonight. Be a member of the elite.
Jack · Elisa:# The night's like a banquet... Give it a try...? # Candlelight, caviar... You and I...? # And Templeton... Mr. Templeton...?
Liz · Jack:You took the old man with you? / I admit it's an ethical gray area.
Liz · Jack:It's called principles, Jack. / Oh. I think I'm probably getting it.
Jack:Yes, well, we can't all be as noble as you. Turning down a flu shot on moral grounds, coming into work and risking your health despite your special vacation.
Elisa · Jack:It's Mr. Templeton's son. / I thought you said he didn't have any family. / Not here. He lives in London. But now, God has sent him to punish me for being so bad. / Or maybe it's a business trip.
Mr. Templeton · Jack:Is Elisa the Puerto Rican? / Wow. That really doesn't sound okay. But, yes.
Mr. Templeton · Jack:And then... I want to go to a Negro bar. / I'll see what I can do.
Jack:What do we elites do when we screw up? We pretend it never happened and give ourselves a giant bonus. That you don't deserve.
Jack · Liz · Dr. Spaceman:Did that come out of you or me? / I don't know. / It's really hot in here. / You know, the flu vaccine is actually a small dose of the virus itself. So, there's always the risk that -- Oh God! Both ends! Both ends! / I'm not going to make it!
Jack · Elisa:# Strap your helmet on...?
Jack · Liz:Jack asks Liz which photo she prefers; she picks one and asks what it's for — it turns out to be for a corporate keynote address, making her 'wacky' aesthetic choice immediately deflating.
Jack:Jack says he's 'apprehensive' about the retreat because he hasn't seen these people 'since the C.E.O. debacle and my time in the Bush Administration.'
Jack:Jack's mirror psych-up speech: 'Well, buddy, here we go. Bases loaded, bottom of the ninth. Are you going to step up? Oh, yeah. Because it's winning time, you magnificent son of a bitch!'
Jack:The psych-up speech incorporates advertising slogans: 'Just do it. Is it in you? I'm loving it!' — mashing Nike, Gatorade, and McDonald's together.
Liz · Jack:Liz catches Jack psyching himself up in the mirror. She admits she does the same thing before parties where she doesn't know a lot of people — 'Stop sweating, you idiot. What is wrong with you, you stupid bitch?'
Jack:Jack introduces the Six Sigma pillars: teamwork, insight, brutality, male enhancement, 'handshake-ful-ness,' and play hard.
Jack:Jack greets the assembled executives: 'Men? If I'd known your wives were alone I would have stayed in New York.'
Executive · Jack · Liz:Corporate nonsense speak: 'The Finulus data suggest we should be leveraging disintermediation paradigms.' / 'The Finular analysis will concur with any synergized mindshare classifications.' / 'Bladorian frankles.'
Jack:The 'LUNCH' acronym reveal: Lego Utilization for Negating Crisis Hierarchies.
Jack · Liz:'CLASS' is another acronym: Consuming Lunch And Simple Socializing. 'Now, that just seems intentionally confusing.'
Jack · Liz:The LUNCH Lego exercise: Jack barking instructions — 'Don't stop talking! Hands in pockets, Joan! Prashant, your job is to watch Joan!' / 'Say something, Haircut!' / 'Uh-doy-ee! It goes on top! It's a smoke stack!'
Six Sigma Executive · Jack:After Liz shouts 'Uh-doy-ee!' and they win, the Six Sigma executive says: 'What happened to you, Donaghy? That woman is a subordinate of yours. Her behavior is totally inappropriate — the familiarity, nickname-ification.'
Jack:Jack comes to Liz's hotel room to check if it's bigger than his — outraged she has a sitting area: 'Aw, you have a sitting area? You jag!'
Jack:Jack tells Liz her reaction is 'the second half of a Judy Blume novel.'
Jack:Jack: 'I give you a simple managerial suggestion in a professional context and I get back the second half of a Judy Blume novel'
Jack:Jack looks at departing Liz and mutters: 'Like a waitress.'
Jack · Audio Tech:The audio technician, on his first day, asks Jack if he can put a microphone on him — Jack confidently says yes. Neither realizes the mic is now hot in the ballroom.
Jack:Jack's psych-up speech broadcasts through the microphone to the entire conference ballroom — 'Bottom of the ninth, bases loaded... you magnificent son of a bitch!'
Jack:Jack's private psych-up speech plays over the entire ballroom PA system — beginning: 'Bottom of the ninth... bases loaded... you magnificent son of a bitch!'
Jack · Liz:Jack tells Liz her intervention 'actually worked' — many people emailed asking if they were there 'when the bra lady went crazy.'
Jack:Jack thanks Liz and then says: 'And I think it goes without saying that you are banned from any future retreats.'
Jack:Jack: 'A lot of people from the conference e-mailed me to ask if I was there when the bra lady went crazy. They completely forgot about me.'
Jack:They're former investment bankers who were laid off after that economic crash that Nancy Pelosi caused.
Jack:They've got zero real-world skills, but god, they work hard.
Jack · Elisa:Is it because I'm white? I've had white boyfriends. Black, Cuban... Brazilian guys with German heritage...
Jack:He looks exactly like me. [Beat — Jack stares at the TV]
Jack:He just blew up that kid!
Elisa · Jack:Isn't that romantic? / Now, all I have to do is kill off the Generalissimo, and clear a path to Elisa's abuela.
Jack · Liz:He stole that girl's love letters and opened them. / Opened her mail? That is just shocking. He's a monster. / Or he has a really good reason to do it.
Liz · Jack:And how did he use her mail to do that, exactly? / He read her most intimate secrets, and turned himself into that which she desired.
Hector Moreda (as Generalissimo) · Jack · Elisa:'And now, this potion's gonna make me live forever.' / What's happening? / El Generalissimo was supposed to die!
Jack:Morena has gone broken arrow. We really should have had somebody on the set who speaks Spanish.
Jack:Play ball, or you'll be back doing R-rated hypnotism at bull fights so fast, you won't know what hit you.
Jack · Hector:I see that we are not so different, you and I. / We laugh alike. / We think alike. / At times, we even drink alike.
Hector · Jack:El Generalissimo does not have to die to clear the way to the abuela. Not if the abuela comes to love him. / But that's impossible. / Seduction is never impossible for El Generalissimo.
Hector · Jack:Like Julie Harris in The Belle of Amherst. / You are surprisingly gay.
Jack · Liz:So did you ever find Buster? / What did you not understand? That picture is from a dog food ad.
Jack:I'll look into it... abuela.
Liz · Jack:Jack this is ridiculous. / It's a date.
Jack:Look at this guy, used to be a man once.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, you're a woman. Of course I am! That doctor was a quack, I don't even know why my parents listened to him.
Liz · Jack:- You mean, like, marriage? - No, the one before that. - Moving in together? That's huge! - No, the thing you do before that. - think 'you in the mid-nineties.' - You haven't had sex?
Jack · Liz:We have, of course, pleasured one another — No, stop, I believe.
Jack:Obviously I care about her a lot, but she keeps confusing me with this ridiculous notion that 'sex' and 'love' are somehow connected.
Jack · Elisa:We're Jack and Elisa — Jalisa. That's really lame, Jack. Yeah, that was just a joke.
Jack · Elisa:I think tonight is going to be a very special night. — If you know what I mean... — I think I do.
Jack:Like a lion, ready to take its mate.
Jack:I watched an American Masters last night about Baryshnikov. I picked up a couple of ideas.
Jack:No, no, no, I'll get it. You'll need your rest, we're going again in 15.
Jack:I don't care what's going on out there. I'm staying here. There are some things more important than a stock quote crawling across a screen. I'm in love with this magnificent woman, and there is no amount of money this company could lose that would cause me to— yes, that's the amount, I'll get dressed right now.
Jack · Larry King:I just wanna preach caution, Larry, if there was anything to worry about I would be at my office. Instead of at home, right now, with my beautiful girlfriend. — She's Latin. — Expand on that.
Tracy · Jack · Larry King:Hang on. I know Jack Donaghy, and that is an impostor. — Hang up! Hang up on him Larry! — I'm going to, but not because you told me.
Elisa · Jack:Because I'm sick of listening to you. 'Oh, I love you, Elisa.' This was all just another Jack Donaghy lie. Like when you said you could dunk a basketball? — I can, on a regulation hoop.
Jack:Who is this woman, why isn't someone shutting her up?
Jack:Who is this woman, why isn't someone shutting her up? — Now why don't you just go back to my apartment and I will meet you there, eventually.
Jack · Jonathan:Jonathan, what is that camcorder for? — Nothing. I don't know.
Jack:God, he looks so young.
Geiss (on tape) · Jack:How the hell am I gonna turn this damn thing off? / What's that gizmo?
Jack · Elisa:Let's get married. — Jack! — I love you, Elisa, and I don't wanna be with anyone else. — Okay. But I want a ring so big that it gives me back problems.
Elisa (on video) · Jack · Jonathan:Adios mi amor. / Aww, how do you turn this damn thing off? / No! That's personal.
Jack:But I'm committed to Elisa. While she's away, I'm trying to avoid temptation. I just need somewhere I can socialize where women aren't an issue.
Jack · Frank · Writers:Yeah, Let's go. Hey, now. [Jack walks into the gay bar — reaction beat as everyone turns]
Jack · Frank · Toofer · Lutz · Josh:What do your dads tell their friends you do? Surgeon. Optometrist. Died. I never really knew my dad, so I just lie to myself. Space assassin.
Frank · Jack:In Sicilian dialect, it means 'well poisoner.' In Gaelic, Donaghy means 'dung basket.'
Frank · Jack:We're going to Lutz's to watch movies. Tonight, a classic. Harry and the Hendersons. You in, Jack? Uh, yes. But I don't want to go to Lutz's apartment. His contract is up, and I don't want to feel sorry for him.
Frank · Jack:Goodbye, my friend. He had to be mean to save him. Harry belonged in the woods.
Jack · Frank:This reminds me of my favorite movie. Shane. Oh! When Joey wants to go with Shane and Shane makes him stay. Maybe it's because we didn't have fathers. Maybe that's why we're drawn to movies where the father figure pushes away the child/legendary North American forest ape.
Jack:This morning it hit me in the shower why the Hendersons named their guest 'Harry.' That film has layers.
Jack:We both have recurring dreams about being overpowered by a female bodybuilder.
Jack:Make your mother proud, Frank. Make your father hate any new children he might have.
Jack · Frank:But we both know you shouldn't be working at a desk with... fake vomit on it. Right. Fake.
Jack:Oh, God. Please don't be a daughter I didn't know about.
Jack · Frank · Liz:Did you know that if you sing 'Happy Birthday' on a TV show, you have to pay for it? I did not know that. # Hap...? Hey!
Jack · Frank:Now, let me hear you say the seven most important words in the American Judicial System. My client... has no memory of that. I also would have accepted, 'You can't prove that's the governor's semen.'
Frank's Mom · Jack:What do you think you're doing to my boy? [...] His father was a lawyer! And his father's father! All the Rossitano men are lawyers. It's in their blood to be lawyers! [...] For the mob!
Jack:There was once a great American named George Henderson. He met a woodland ape, or Sasquatch, who, despite its dangerous message of environmentalism, became his friend. But when the time came to do the hard thing and send it back into the forest where it belonged... and birds could perch on its shoulder because it was gentle... George Henderson summoned the strength, and, by God, he did it. Did it hurt? You bet it hurt. Like a bastard. But he did it because it was the right thing to do. For the woodland ape.
Jack:There was once a great American named George Henderson... despite its dangerous message of environmentalism... and birds could perch on its shoulder because it was gentle...
Liz · Jack:Is that Harry and the Hendersons? You've seen it? This is my life, Jack.
Jack · Frank:You've got to go. No. I'm going to be a lawyer. I'm going to be like you. Get out of here! Go to the writers' room! There is no scholarship! Can't you see we don't want you anymore?
Jack:Goodbye, my friend. [Beat] [Jack watches Frank go]
Jack · Elisa:Hey, baby. My God. Look at your boobs.
Jack · Liz:I guess, in a way... we both lost children today. Yeah, but mine was real, Jack. Yours was Frank.
Jack · Liz · Tim:Don't worry, Lemon. I'm confident that someday you'll have... everything you want. Can someone please tell me how to get out of this building? It's like a maze! I keep walking past the same... Sbarro's!
Jack:Obviously, you can't do both T.G.S. and Janie Jimplin.
Jack · Liz:Or should I say... very little? The pocket microwave? / You can buy it on Friday along with everyone else. It has a ham button. You used my idea!
Lutz · Jack:Can we get lunch from McDonald's today? / No.
Jack:Something that will appeal to the marketing holy trinity: College students, the morbidly obese and homosexuals.
Jack:'Bitenuker' is highly offensive to those who speak either French or Dutch. A Franco-Dutchman would pronounce it 'bet nyooker'.
TGS Writer · Jack:We should make t-shirts! / Yes. / And you're in charge of that.
Jack · Liz:They're all dead, Lemon. / What? / They're all dead unless they come up with a name for my pocket microwave. They're up in my office right now where there are fewer... foosballs.
Jack:Now that you're back, uh... I thought you could do it yourself. How hard can it be?
Jack:Jenna fills in time with a song. Goodnight, goodnight. Mild applause. / You'll be done in an hour.
Jack · Frank:Including English, Frank. / They knew what a 'Hot Richard' was?
Jack:'V'. 'A'. 'G'... Why don't we start over? / 'N'. 'I'. I have an idea. Why don't I just pull them all at once?
Jack:'N'. 'I'. I have an idea. Why don't I just pull them all at once?
Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth suggests 'Funcooker' — everyone immediately accepts it as brilliant, leading to Jack saying 'Kenneth, I owe you one.'
Kenneth · Jack:So, it's kind of like a 'funcooker'. / The Funcooker. Yes! It's snappy, fresh, and incapable of offending. / Kenneth? I owe you one. / One hug, you mean?
Tracy · Jack:Is that 30 seconds, yet? / Nine? / Okay. Here comes the funcooker.
Tracy · Liz · Jack:Hey, America! Oh, Tracy. Please cover for them. Check out my funcooker! / Did he just say 'Funcooker'? / Oh. That's where I've heard that.
Tracy · Jack:Now that's got to be 30 seconds. / Nine?
Jack:Well, they're all terrified of you. That will get you a week of good behavior.
Liz · Jack:My containers. My new beginning. / Lemon, we've both had a rough week. You went 'firebug', and I'm sitting on four million mini-microwaves that Legal won't let out of the warehouse.
Jack:I suggest we both go to our respective homes... open a bottle of wine... and heat up some ham... in the shower.
Jack · Liz:Boy, we sure have done some crazy things with Tracy in the last three years. We sure have. I'm thinking about some of them now. Me too.
Jack:His video game made a fortune and he invested all of it in a company that dismantles bank signs. They're doing very well.
Jack · Tracy · Liz:Look, we got B.F.F. bracelets. You guys are best friends forever? That's not what that stands for.
Jack:They live in a bubble... a bubble of free drinks, kindness and outdoor sex.
Jack · Liz:The bubble isn't always a bad thing. Look at me. I turned out okay, didn't I? [Liz does an over-the-top eye-roll]
Liz · Jack:Jack, I want you to pay close attention to the following over-the-top eye-roll. Oh, brother.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, I don't share this often... but this is a photo of me when I was 25 years old. What the what?! You have a Superman chest!
Jack · Tracy:Tracy, I hope you know how much we value you here at T.G.S. I like to think of this staff as a family. This is better than a family. No one around here asks me for my damn bone marrow.
Jack · Dotcom:Had he really not put that together? Tracy's is a tactile-kinesthetic learning style... Dotcom... so help me God.
Jack:That is the danger of being super-handsome. When you're in the bubble, nobody ever tells you the truth. For years... I thought I spoke excellent French.
Jack · Liz:Did you tell him that he was no good in tennis? No, I let him win 'cause I wanted to make out with him in the cab.
Jack:Be careful, Lemon. You wake a sleepwalker, you risk getting urinated on. Or thanked... on.
Jack:Oh, no! When I get upset my accent come out. And when it gets to comin' out, I can't get to talkin', nuh-uh!
Jack:Don't cling to this, Lemon. Be a manager. Control your people. Buy better clothes.
Jack:Nope, I lost it, that was Batman.
Jack · Tracy · Bill Cosby:Tracy, this is Bill Cosby. [Tracy:] Bill Cosby, you got a lot of nerve getting on the phone with me after what you did to my Aunt Paulette. [Cosby:] I think you're confusing me with someone else. [Tracy:] 1971, Cincinnati. She was the cocktail waitress with the droopy eye.
Jack · Billy Dee Williams:Tracy, this is Billy Dee Williams. I just wanna say I love your work. It's very smooth.
Tracy Jr. · Jack:You wanna see what he packed me for lunch today? Mayonnaise... and a pack of cigarettes. That is unfortunate.
Tracy Jr. · Jack:She said she had to take a spa week at Canyon Ranch before my dad broke it in half. What that even supposed to mean? I shouldn't have to hear that! I'm a child!
Tracy Jr. · Jack:You know, I don't see it on the menu but I would love a catfish po'boy and a diet raspberry Fanta. Oh, that is a great idea. Let me order that for you.
Waitress · Jack:I'm gonna come back in five minutes. You try to order off the menu again I will smack those glasses off your face. Okay, thank you. You're welcome.
Jack:Security told me that he's in the building, Pete. So it's working. Now it's all up to Kenneth Ellen Parcell.
Jack · Kenneth:But I will need you to turn in your page jacket. What? Well, your main duty was taking care of Tracy. Tracy no longer works here. Therefore, your services are no longer required. As a page? Oh, no...
Tracy · Jack · Kenneth:Wait a minute, you want to fire my boy, Ken? Stay out of this, Tracy. It's not your concern. Unless? Unless what? You say Kenneth can't work here because I don't work here. But if I work here so can Kenneth. I don't understand. Of course you don't, you idiot. I'm coming back to work, Jack... with Kenneth. Damn you and your meddling.
Jack · Liz:Jack asks if Liz is frying bacon; she says it's her new running shoes
Jack:Jack laughs dismissively at Liz's running shoes explanation
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'Don't wear that thing with the belt.' Liz: 'What thing with the belt? Don't hang up! I have a lot of belted outfits!'
Jack:Jack reads his mother's birthday card: 'Jackie, here is some of your junk. It was taking up the space my new boyfriend needed for his golf bags. His name is Paul and he doesn't want to meet you.'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'You threw up.' Jack: 'What? As a kid, you never got so excited, you vomited? No one does that. I mean, I've peed a little.'
Jack:Jack reads from his childhood list: 'Go to Disneyland. Ride in an airplane. Kiss Peggy Fleming.' Then: 'Done, done and... oh, boy. Done.'
Jack:Jack's list continues: 'Live in a house with stairs. Beat up a Russian. Hit Mom with a car.'
Jack:Jack: 'Fly on a plane? I've flown on Air Force One. Go to Disneyland? Lemon, I've held Walt Disney's frozen head in my hands.'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'I've danced with Queen Noor. I've hunted the world's most dangerous game.' Liz: 'Man.' Jack: 'Manatee. I once shot a manatee.'
Jack · Liz · Jonathan:Jack: 'Be friends with Batman.' Liz: 'There's still a couple of hours.' Jack: 'Jonathan, could you get Adam West's agent on the phone, please?'
Jack:Jack: 'I don't have friends at NASA. Bunch of nerds.'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'Ugh. I was going to go for a run today!' Jack: 'Oh. [Laughs]'
Jack · Kenneth:Kenneth: 'I wore nothing but hand-me-downs until I was 12 years old. But I thought you were the oldest, sir.' Jack: 'Oldest boy.'
Jack · Kenneth:Jack wonders what Kenneth's perspective is like; the show plays swelling inspirational music as Jack imagines Kenneth seeing the world with wonder [visual gag — music swells, Kenneth sees simple gifts as magnificent]
Jack:A coin rattles dramatically after Kenneth leaves, in the empty silence of Jack's big house [sound gag / awkward silence]
Adam West · Jack:Adam West introduces Jack at his own birthday party as 'Jake Dellahee'
Jack:Jack: 'It's all wrong. Uh... Everyone, go home now. Uh, the party's over.'
Jack:Jack: 'The closest I came to vomiting tonight was when I saw Ann Coulter's shoulder blades.'
Jack:Jack: 'I'm going to find out what was inside that box, I'm going to buy it with money, and it is going to make me happy. And if that doesn't work, I'm going to Benjamin Button myself.'
Jack:Jack: 'Get me a deaf person.' Then to lip-reading specialist: 'I was told this was a job interview.'
Jack:Jack bought a vintage Apollo Command and Lunar Module toy for $7,000 at a store where 'a morbidly obese gentleman called me "pal."'
Jack · Bystander:Jack laughs at the commercial, trails off looking for a comparison for how much he's laughed, then: 'Everybody, back up! Get out of the way! He's going to Jack!'
Jack:Jack: 'I feel great. I feel like a kid.' Then quietly: 'Bijou.'
Jack:Apparently, neither name cleared. It looks like your character's going to be called Jackie Jormp-Jomp.
Jenna · Jack:Jenna: 'Oh, okay. So what's the good news?' Jack: 'I didn't say there was any.'
Jack:You're holding that upside down.
Jack:Jack: 'Remember that time I came back from the world economic forum with mono and missed a week of work and I wanted to pull my hair out but I couldn't because it's too thick?'
Jack · Liz:Jack says 'you start bouncing off the walls, spend your days jabbering at doormen' — Liz fires back, 'Hey, I brighten their day.'
Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth goes to Jack directly to disclose his 'relationship' with a dancer — whom he has never spoken to — citing company policy.
Jack:Jack: 'I see. I'll be sure to mention that at the next board meeting.'
Jack:Jack's ways to achieve a life of leisure: 'Just short the housing market. Or write a cookbook specifically for mixed-race children. Or marry a rich, old dude who dies. Or have mild lupus and great insurance.'
Jack · Jenna:Jack: 'I want to Tupac you.' Jenna: 'Fine. But I have to pee first.' Jack: 'No, no, no — Tupac Shakur, the rapper.'
Jack · Jenna:Jenna on the Tupac marketing strategy: 'Die young, become a legend. Just like Janis. Or Rusty, the bear from the Magicals.'
Jack · Liz:Jack on phone: 'Jeffrey Weener-slave said you put your fingers in his mouth. Did I? Or did he put his mouth on my fingers?'
Jack:Jack: 'It's gonna take at least six weeks paid leave to get to the bottom of this.'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'I'm very busy right now faking Jenna's death to sell her movie.' Liz: 'I'm not going to engage on that. Mantra.'
Liz · Jack:Liz says she's on 'humanity leave.' Jack: 'Good god, what Indigo Girls song is that from?'
Liz · Jack:Jack: 'Lemon, you are not a rich divorcee.' Liz: 'I know. But I have some money saved — enough for two years. Maybe four if I give up cable. So I will be back to the show in four years.'
Liz · Jack:Jack: 'There is no solace in their luxury. Only deep despair.' Liz: 'How do you know all these Indigo Girls songs?'
Jack · Pete:Pete. A word. / Jenna's dead. / I don't feel anything. / What's wrong with me?
Liz · Jack:Liz returns: 'I'm back.' Jack: 'What did it turn out to be? Lesbians?' Liz: 'No. Fight club.'
Jack · Jeweler:Jeweler responds to Jack's request for an engagement ring with 'Are you sure?'
Liz · Jack:'Maybe you should have had a ring the first time you proposed. Then Elisa wouldn't have said no.' / 'She didn't say no, she said we should think about it.' / 'Yeah, that does not mean yes. In my experience, "let's think about it" usually ends up with me watching Solid Gold in my basement on prom night.'
Jack · Liz:'I've coined a new term to describe what Elisa is to me... The One.' / 'Yeah, you should be a writer.'
Jack · Elisa · Jeweler:A woman (Elisa) hurls herself at the engagement ring display case and gets her finger caught in a vent — 'She's very spirited... like a show horse.'
Jack · Jeweler:'Oh, no, no. She's not the bride. This is the one I am marrying.' / 'Oh. My apologies, sir. Please follow me to the real showroom.'
Jack:Wig-Go.com: 'All anybody posted on it were penises.'

Jack · Liz:Jack asks Liz about Elisa's secret — specifically worrying about 'a secret desire to keep her maiden name'
Jack:'Blue writing on green. Why?'
Jack · Liz:'Call that cleaning lady back. We need somebody who speaks Spanish.' / 'I speak Spanish.' / 'Puerto Rican!'
Jack:'I'm so sorry to tell you such a dark tale while wearing such a silly t-shirt.'
Jack · Elisa:Jack: 'Why aren't you in jail?' / Elisa: 'They threw my case out. I couldn't get an impartial jury after that song about me came out.'
Jack:'My God, I already put my wedding announcement in Cigar Aficionado.'
Jack · Liz:'Have you ever met anyone that's killed somebody?' / 'I think my grandpa may have but he never really liked to talk about what happened at... Kent State.'
Jack:'So she had one bad day... somewhere, right now, a guy is on a J-date with Monica Lewinsky. Nobody's perfect.'
Jack:'I'm 50. To put it in perspective, that's like 32 for ladies.'
Jack · Liz Lemon:Jack: 'How many more Elisas am I going to meet?' / Liz: 'Okay, well... God bless.' / Jack: 'Nobody ever said you did, Lemon.'
Jack:Jack's fantasy excuse for cheating: 'What if I find myself stranded in a snow cave with a stern but comely lady geologist, both of us knowing that our only chance for survival is the heat from our naked bodies?'

Tracy · Jack · Club woman:A woman approaches Tracy and his friend at a club: 'Hey, Tray, you and your friend want to party later?' / Tracy: 'Sure thing, baby. Give the kid a call, hmm? Holla.' — then hands her Jack's number
Jack:'This is decadent and I once went to Miami with Darryl Strawberry.'
Jack · Liz:Jack shows up at Liz's apartment at 4am after a night of clubbing to talk about his relationship

Jack:Jack breaks up with Elisa: 'if tonight is what it's going to be like, obviously, engagement-wise, we are not going to forge ahead.'
Elisa · Jack:Elisa: 'Is it my English or was that not a great breaking-up speech?' / Jack: 'It was your English. That was quite moving.'
Jack · Liz:Jack congratulates Liz on reading his memo about including more catchphrases in her show, then immediately recites one: 'If your man leaves the house in tighty-whiteys and comes back in a thong, that's a dealbreaker, ladies.'
Jack:'If he wears an Atlanta Falcons jersey to your sister's wedding, that's a dealbreaker, ladies.'
Jack · Liz:Liz protests that the Dealbreaker phrase is hers, Jack says 'I respect that, Lemon' — then Liz asks 'Jack, is this really what you wanted to talk to me about?' implying there's something deeper he's avoiding.
Jack:Jack: 'Do you know what family means to me, Lemon? Resentment. Guilt.'
Jack:Jack: 'Easter egg hunts that turn into knife fights.'
Jack:Jack: 'I don't want her to have to relive that. Plus I want to whisper something cutting in her ear as she dies.'
Tracy · Jack:Jack visits Tracy, who says 'I'm practicing sitting.' Tracy is literally just sitting in a chair, practicing it.
Tracy · Jack:Tracy on why he never looked for his father: 'He's dead.' Jack: 'How do you know?' Tracy: 'Because I'm rich. If that man were alive he'd be living in my house and I'd be paying him $200,000 a year to mow my lawn.'
Tracy · Jack:'But it turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me.' Jack: 'Thanks, Tracy.' [immediately after Tracy's heartfelt speech]
Jenna · Liz · Jack:Jenna claims the Dealbreaker phrase is 'ours,' Liz corrects her that she wrote it for Jenna. Jenna: 'Right, it's ours — that's what I meant.' Jack: 'There's a reason you're the writer.'
Tracy · Jack:Tracy, addressing the staff about his son: 'Like a dog in a sidecar when it detaches from the motorcycle. But it turned out to be one of the best things that ever happened to me.' Jack: 'Thanks, Tracy.' — exact repeat of the earlier exchange.
Lynn · Jack:Lynn thanks Jack for meeting him 'here.' Jack: 'This is my office.' Lynn: 'I know but since I'm in the building I can access the cafeteria, which means free ice.'
Jack · Lynn:Lynn gives Jack an envelope with his father's name in it, says he'll give him privacy, and the scene cuts to Jack opening it alone — his reaction is just 'Oh my God!'
Liz · Jack:Jack reads the envelope: three potential fathers. Liz says 'It's like Mamma Mia.' Jack: 'What?' Liz: 'Nothing, don't push it, let it happen, there's going to be a Mamma Mia.'
Liz · Jack:Liz explains the Mamma Mia plan: 'They can come to you. We can trick them into coming here, then we can sing on the dock.' Jack: 'What are you talking about?' Liz: 'It's Mamma Mia, the musical film that was a global success, based on the stage musical using ABBA songs. It's a movie, Jack, let's watch it quickly.'
Liz · Jack:Liz: Plan is they win a competition. Jack: 'How do we get them here?' Liz: 'They won a contest — they won a trip to New York and tickets to TGS.' Jack: 'Fine, bring them here. And all I'm promising is a musical film, wild and noisy.' Liz: 'Dot dot dot fun. Dot dot dot gorgeous.'
Liz · Jack:Liz introduces George Park — Jack: 'He's Korean.' The immediate reaction to George being Korean as a disqualifying factor (implied by the mutual look).
Fred · Jack · Liz:Fred O'Dwyer explains: 'In World War II, a hand grenade went off in my privates.' Jack: 'So you never reproduced.' Fred: 'Impossible.' 'My privates look like a plate of spaghetti.'
Milton · Jack:Milton Green clears his throat before speaking, then apologizes: 'Sorry, there was something in my throat. I'm Milton Green.' Jack reacts with clear recognition/interest.
Liz · Jack:Jack, to Jenna, in his 'calm dad voice': Liz describes it that way — 'I like it when you use the calm, reasonable father voice.'
Jack:Liz says Jack should use the calm dad voice to tell Jenna that Liz will appear in the magazine with her. Jack pockets a muffin: 'I'll save this for later.'
Jack · Milton:Jack asks the three potential fathers if there's a history of mental illness in their family. Milton: 'Don't get me started — a relative of mine killed all his coworkers.'
Jack · Milton:Jack asks Milton if he knows many other Greens — 'In your church? At Christmas?' Milton: 'We're secular.' Jack: 'Of course, but if you had to choose...'
Jack · Milton:Jack notices a photo of Milton with Tom DeLay. Milton: 'I consider The Hammer a hero.' Jack: 'I'm sorry — did you just mock the House Majority Whip?' Milton: 'I never thought of him as such.'
Jack · Milton:Jack: 'Tom DeLay's legacy to America — raping the environment and waging illegal war.' Milton: 'History will vindicate the liberation of Iraq.' Jack: 'I was talking about the war on drugs, and by extension your hypocrisy.'
Jack · Milton:Milton attacks Jack's knowledge of single mothers, Jack retorts: 'What do YOU know about single mothers? What do you know about families?' — they're now screaming at each other in a full argument.
Milton · Jack:Milton: 'I won't be spoken to like this — I'm a contest winner.' 'And a professor at Bennington.' Jack: 'How's it going teaching people who couldn't get into Middlebury?' Milton: 'How dare you.' Jack: 'How dare YOU.' Both: 'How dare you!' in unison.
Jenna · Jack · Liz:Jenna tears her blouse at the photo shoot; Jack's reaction: 'Oh my god.' Jack says she looks beautiful. Jenna: 'I'll go get some tape.' Jack: 'Oh my God, Liz.'
Jack:Jack (to Jenna, after Liz warns her not to be photographed doing funny things): 'I'm glad you insisted on doing this. Thank you for including her with such grace. I know something like this is all she has in her life.'
Jack · Liz:Jack asks Liz: 'What did you say to Milton?' Liz: 'I think he was leaving until I mentioned Cornell West at the New School.'
Liz · Jack:Liz describes the two possible outcomes: 'Tell him and he rejects you, you come back Jack Donaghy and that's pretty great.' OR 'Tell him and he cries and you hug and you have a dad.' Jack: 'One of those two things.' Liz: 'There's no third weird thing.'
Jack:Jack (to Liz, after the emotional conversation): 'By the way, the medical supply store where you bought those shoes — do they carry women's items?'
Jack · Milton:Jack: 'I'm Jack Donaghy, Colleen's son. I was born about 9 months after you two... did that. God.' Milton: 'Oh my God — wait. Is this a contest to find out who your father is?'
Jack:Jack's reveal: 'I'm Jack Donaghy. I'm Colleen's son. And I was born approximately nine months after you did that.'
Milton · Jack:Milton: 'I have a son.' [long pause] 'I have a handsome son.' Jack: 'And I have a father.'
Milton · Jack:Milton: 'Fate has brought us together, Jack, to open a new chapter in my life.' Jack: 'Yes, isn't that amazing.' Milton: 'You don't know anything yet.' Jack: 'What?' Milton: 'I need a kidney transplant.'
Jack:Jack's reaction to the kidney request: 'This is really something.' [beat] — delivered with visible disbelief/resignation.
Jack:Hello, everyone. I'm so happy to see all of you and to welcome you to Season Four. Which is, of course, the name of this restaurant, the number one Asian fusion restaurant in New York.
Jack:Where we will be eating the number-one-selling food in the rest of America.
Tracy · Jack:Well, before I made it as a stand-up, I was a bucket drummer in the subway. That's not a real job. Oh, yeah? Then how come I got sued for sexual harassment at it?
Jack · Liz:The best way for a lady to get heat in this industry is to either record a country album or have a lesbian relationship. Uh, we'll start with 'going country'.
Jack:To T.G.S. We'll trick those race-car-loving wideloads into watching your lefty, homoerotic propaganda hour yet.
Liz · Jack:Well, you just don't like anybody, do you? Well...
Liz · Jack:What about Josh? Right, Josh, I forgot about that guy. You think that's a good sign?
Jack:Our new mammogram machine is called the 'Git-Er-Done 2000'.
Jack:Thanks to Comrade Obama's recession, we've had to cut overtime for pages.
Jack · Payroll Guy:I had to downsize the Payroll Department to one guy and an envelope stuffing machine. Today's my birthday.
Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth pops out from behind a corner and yells 'Boo!' at Jack, then thanks him.
Jack:I'll give you a New York minute. That's seven seconds.
Kenneth · Jack:'Bonus' means 'extra'. I know that from game shows. You lied to me. I didn't lie, Kenneth. I massaged the truth.
Jack:I like you, Kenneth. But you do not want to mess with me right now. I am in the middle of a raging period! Of economic turmoil.
Jack · Jenna:Do you know the song 'Are You Ready For Some Football?' Do I? That's what my phone plays whenever Ray Lewis calls me.
Liz · Jack:What sports does N.B.C. have these days? Oh, off-season tennis.
Jack:Whatever religious undergarment Kenneth wears is in a twist because I took my bonus this year.
Liz · Jack:Aren't you trying to be Johnny America right now? I am Johnny America. And this strike ends now.
Len · Jack:Let me ask you a question, Mr. Donaghy. How do you kill a snake? You cut off the head. Of course! Thank you. Now I won't be afraid to go into my garage.
Len · Jack:I go undercover, infiltrate the union. Take this Parcell guy down from the inside. Very well. And you have undercover experience? They used to call me the Chameleon. Because of my slender frame and my big, wet eyes.
Len · Jack:I can't, the man is incorruptible. He was impervious to the charms of the 'Nympho Coed'. Charlene LaRue.
Jack:Guide me. Tell me what to do, Nixon.
Jack · Kenneth:Where's the bar? Well, there's a bar in the shower that the previous tenant installed to keep from slipping. He still died in there, though.
Jack · Kenneth:We're not so different, you and I. Those glasses are for display only.
Jack:And yet, when people look at you, they see who they want to be. When they look at me, they see who they are.
Jack:Jack: 'You have the moral high ground, I can't change that. But I can destroy you.' He threatens to shut down the page program forever.
Jack:I am a big, 'ol liar.
Jack:Jack signs the paper: 'I am a big, ol' liar.'
Jack:You are on top of the pyramid. TGS is a small pyramid, which nevertheless will one day be your tomb. You can't let emotions distract you from making decisions about the slaves who built the pyramid, which, again, will one day be your tomb.
Jack:It's as useless as the winter olympics. This February on NBC. [exciting jazz music]
Jack:Is this because of my bedbugs? I will not be ostracized like this.
Jack:Of course, it continues to be the gold standard by which all business technology is judged. Cisco, the human network.
Jack:You think I didn't hear that? I can hear your hair growing on this thing.
Jack:Good afternoon, ladies and gentlemen, I'm sorry to bother you, my name is Jack. And I have bedbugs. I'm not a drug addict.
Jack · Kenneth:I walked in your shoes today, Kenneth. — I don't think you did, sir. I've just got the one pair, and I sleep in them.
Jack:Et tu, Kenneth?
Jack:I have bedbugs. And these bedbugs have chewed the blinders off my eyes.
Jack:However, the process was a pleasant reminder that some of us are, in fact, better than others.
Jack:Lemon, we're not just hiring an actor. We're hiring a coworker, a human being, and I say we hire the one who lives by the code of the robot. Care. Love. Live.
Jack:Lemon, I was in Beijing this weekend, buying a reality show for a network where criminals dance their way to freedom.
Jack · Liz:A Chinese knockoff of your book: 'Dealbreaker: The Book For You Man No Good, by Lesbianyellowsourfruit.'

Jack · Liz:Jack and Liz simultaneously say 'I knew you would say yes, Lemon' after she agrees to the talk show.
Jack:Jack demonstrates an arm gesture he's developing for the Dealbreakers talk show. [Visual gag: Jack doing the arm thing]
Jack · Liz:After Liz tells Jack she's 'exploring her options' and signs with an agent, Jack's reaction is a long, icy silence followed by 'I see. Well, if that's how you feel about it.' [pause] 'Good luck in the marketplace.'
Jack:Jack: 'Raise your hand if you're cool with what's happening.' [pause] 'Not too late to raise your hand.'
Liz · Jack:Jack reveals he announced the Dealbreakers talk show without Liz: 'Liz: What the what, Jack?' Jack: 'Dealbreakers is a sketch that first appeared on this network — we own it. And we're doing it whether or not you're involved.'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'Of course not [we can't replace you]. We can do better. I've already spoken to Padma Lakshmi.' Liz: 'Then who's gonna host Top Chef?' Jack: 'You are ruining my life!'
Jack:Jack's life advice to Danny: 'Never do business with a friend. Never be friends with a woman. And lose the leather bracelet.'

Jack:Jack: 'She can either be crushed by me, or she can suck in her stomach and crawl back through the tiny crack I've left for her in the proverbial door.'
Simon · Jack:Simon: 'Yeah, I've seen some bras.' [in response to Jack: 'We're both men of the world']
Jack:Jack: 'NBC employs 80% of your agency's clients, between Are You Stronger Than a Dog and I'm a Celebrity Dog: Get Me Out Arf Here.'
Jack:NBC employs 80% of your agency's clients, between 'Are You Stronger Than a Dog' and 'I'm a Celebrity Dog: Get Me Out Arf Here.'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'God, Jack, why are you being such a wang about this?' Jack: 'I'll take that as a compliment. An Wang, the founder of Wang Computers, is one of the greatest businessmen of the 20th century. And you're the one being a lowercase wang, Lemon.'
Jack · Liz:Jack invents a new product: 'I invented this new bag that you put around a sandwich to keep it fresh. But it's clear, so you still get the full visual of the sandwich.' Liz: 'So it's a sandwich bag?' Jack: 'No, Jack, it's a new thing that I invented.'
Jack:Jack: 'It would. It would change your life.' [long pause, looking at Padma] 'I don't want to change your life. I want to change Lemon's life. I'm sorry. Go. Go.'
Padma · Jack:Uhh, this business is so hard! / Not really. I'm kidding. Go. Go.
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'I was wrong. It's you. It's always been you.' Jack: 'I want to do business with you, Lemon.'
Jack:Youface. Who are you facing? [chuckling] No one.
Jack · Liz:Those sites are for horny married chicks with kids who want to exchange pervy emails with their old high school boyfriends. And since all your high school boyfriends are now gay — exactly.
Jack:Lemon, gift giving is the purest expression of friendship. I'm going to think about what I know and like about you and that will lead me to the perfect gift.
Liz · Jack:So bath salts in a coffee mug would be... [cut] Not it.
Jack · Liz:I've been finger tagged, Lemon. [Was it down by the subway entrance? 'Cause I saw a gangly-looking kid down there.]
Liz · Jack:Uh, this wasn't a TV crush. This was real. Oh, mine got pretty real.
Jack:Is YouFace hyphenated? Huh. ...There are definitely faces here but they are not being treated with respect.
Nancy · Jack:Remember those guys used to hang out by the cash register and mooch? He was a moocher.
Nancy · Jack:Nancy accuses Jack of being a moocher; he starts to deny it, she doubles down: 'He was a moocher.'
Nancy · Jack:Was she a bitch or did you cheat? [The former.] The former? What are you, a newscaster?
Jack · Nancy:Whatever happened to your Boston accent? [Boston accent] You're a liar, Nancy Donovan. I never had a Boston accent.
Jack:What southie piece of trash did you trick into marrying you?
Nancy · Jack:I'm glad we never made out in high school. Otherwise this whole thing would be so awkward. [Excuse me, we kissed every night on stage in Hey, Beantown.]
Nancy · Jack:Oh, that doesn't count. There wasn't even any tongue. But only because my mother told me that French kissing was for the Italians. They do love it.
Jack:How else do you think I got Mr. Sorrentino to cast me as the spirit of liberty?
Liz · Jack:Nancy cupping Burt Reynolds' crotch at the wax museum. That finger touching his moustache is me.
Jack · Liz:Don't tell me, Lemon, you spent $500 on a tie I already have at a store with a no returns policy. Oh, shark farts!
Jack · Liz:But this is my lucky tie. And anyone who knows me well would know that. And just like I know you only wear that sweater when you're planning on eating pasta with red sauce.
Jack · Liz:Wow, Lemon, this is like watching Hemingway write. Mark Hemingway.
Man · Jack:May I still collect my kiss? Vattene!
Nancy · Jack:And you know how hard it is to get teenagers out of bed in the morning. Yes, but not in the way you're talking about.
Liz · Jack:You know what would go real nice on that wall over there: a drawing of a frog. [No.] No. [silently] No.
Jack:The gender-blind Crucible. Framed in wood from the stage of your high school theater. Jonathan had to drive all over Pennsylvania and I did not reimburse him for gas. Zero dollars.
Liz · Jack:Nancy came back to say good-bye. Her train was cancelled. Because somebody called in a bomb threat to Penn Station? [pause] You're welcome. Merry Christmas.
Liz · Jack:Wait, how is this zero dollars? Well, he promised to get me on Dancing with the Stars. But that's on ABC. Donaghy!
Liz · Jack:Ooh, she's getting the Jack Donaghy 'A' game. I hope she can keep her clothes on. / Lemon, your hair looks very nice today. You should wear it like that more often. / Oh, my. Well, I... never, uh...
Jack · Avery Jessup:Hey, do you want to grab breakfast? / You're sweet, Jack. But let's not pretend this is anything more than it is.
Liz (post-anesthesia) · Jack · Avery:What hotel is this? / Would you just keep an eye on her? I'm going to turn down her bed. / I was sure he was making this up.
Jack:No, no, no, no, no, no. Lemon, it's time for bed. It's time for bed.
Jack · Liz:Jack asking if he put a toaster waffle into his DVD player and watched it for an hour, then declared Nicole Kidman should get an Oscar for it

Jack:Jack opens Don Geiss's book 'Geiss Cubes' to random pages and reads: 'Because a woman's brain has fewer folds' and 'The Negroid musculature...'

Jack:I don't know why you're wearing girls' pajamas, but I'm sure it's cultural.
Jack:Not Seinfeld, Friends, E.R. exciting. More like 3D episodes of Merlin exciting.
Jack · Employee:Even if it is from... Philadelphia. [audience member yells] Go Eagles!
Jack:How did you even get a snowball?
Jack:You do not want this argument, Lemon. Boston is the greatest city in the world.
Jack:Yeah, then he looked around, realized it sucked, and moved to Philadelphia!
Jack:Oh, did you just whip a battery at me?
Jack · L.A. Employee:My apologies to our friends from the great city of Los Angeles. [01:21] Hey. Stop laughing. L.A. Rules. Michael Bay, freeways, Legoland.
Jack:And the earth into one of the top three planets in the universe.
Jack:There will be an episcopal cryogenic freezing service open to all six sigma black belts and higher.
Jack · Liz:I just got the call from a friend at Little Brown. The publishing house? No, the premier talent agency for black dwarves.
Jack:We brought good things to life. And bad things to Chinese rivers.
Jack:Second only to the company of great friends.
Jack:So I can prove that I am the man with the ambition, the talent, and the looking-at-my-watch skills to run this company.

Jack:Don was the one who realized there was a whole segment of consumers not buying light bulbs. The asleep. That realization led him to develop the nightlight and the marketing campaign aimed at making children afraid of the dark — a monster under every bed.
Jack:That realization led him to develop the nightlight and the marketing campaign aimed at making children afraid of the dark -- a monster under every bed.
Jack:I'm sorry. But I just had an amazing business idea. You'll have to excuse me.
Jack:Gentlemen, there is a giant segment of consumers who are not buying our most lucrative product. Three words: Porn for women.
Jack:But women do have one insatiable need. To jabber. And it doesn't matter if you have a headache or you're not in the mood... they barge right into your office and start complaining about a boyfriend or a coworker. And you're supposed to sit there and nod and tell them they're right. And the more you give it to them, the more they want it.
Jack:So what if women had a pay-per-view channel featuring handsome men patiently listening to them? What if they had... Porn for women?
Jack:With a female page? Don't worry. They disappear all the time.
Jack:Typical liberal media. That's why I get all my news from Dick Cheney's website — dickviews.com.
Jack:It's a hoax. The New York Times doesn't have a staff writer named Seymour Nips.
Jack:My guess is this is the work of Frank, the black one, and... Lutz.
Danny · Jack:You're handsome. / So are you, Jack. / I wasn't fishing, but thank you.
Jack:At Princeton, I was in a secret society. One time we snuck up to Dartmouth, put their mascot in a box, and sent it to Mexico City. We didn't know until the next day that it was an actual Indian. He didn't speak a word of English, like all Dartmouth men.
Jack · Danny:What's the most handsome animal? / The silver panther.
Jack:Lemon, could I have your weakness files on Frank, Toofer, and Lutz?
Jack:I thought that Nancy would leave her husband for me, and it's not going to happen. They're Boston Irish Catholic — they mate for life, like swans, like drunk... angry swans.
Jack:You are not a silver panther.
Liz · Jack:I mean, it's like, on TV, it used to be you couldn't say crap, and then they let that slide. And now we can say whatever we want — douche bag, asswipe. / Anal rot. / Exactly.
Jack · Liz:Mcshanley's? The place where you got food poisoning from the fish three times? / So? / So are you sure you're not planning to get Floyd sick and sabotage his chance of winning?
Jack:Gentlemen, I wanted some of the TGS dancers to see this. Now we're even, guys. As you were, nerds.
Jack · Toofer:But during the period of the '90s... / Twig and Plums! / Thank you, folks. Excuse me, I have tickets to a Harry Connick Jr. Concert.
Toofer · Jack:Twig and plums. / Excuse me, gentlemen. I have a, uh... veterinary appointment.
Jack · Toofer:I don't know who the hell told you to say that, Rossitano, but you have no idea — / Twig and plums. / I have to go to an intervention for my... travel agent.
Jack:Hello, Frank. I think you know where I am. I just happened to run into your mom at a T.J. Maxx in Queens, and we came back here for some cannoli and red wine. She's a lovely woman. I'll be leaving soon. I'm a gentleman... as is Danny.
Jack:Don't push me, Frank. You won't enjoy the next tape. Your mom might, though. And I believe Toofer and Lutz also have mothers.
Jack · Avery:Jack on the phone: 'I love it when you talk dirty to me' — responding to Avery's business-speak about Q1 results and 'flexibility'
Avery · Jack:'Think slutty Grace Kelly.' / 'Oh, God bless you. I'm picturing it right now.'
Jack · Avery:'And the opposite of that just walked in.' / 'Tell Liz I said hi.' / 'I will.'
Jack:'You look like a prison weed dealer.'
Jack · Liz:'Lemon, are you wearing a cup?' / 'Oh, I forgot, only guys can get hurt there.'
Jack:Jack describes what Liz needs: 'You need an Avery... Simple, fun, uncomplicated. As my good friend and fox-hunting partner Mary J. Blige would say, "No more drama."'
Tracy · Jack:Tracy, on the walkie-talkie, announces he heard there's 'a redheaded MILF walking around with some executive' — not realizing he's talking to that executive about the executive's companion

Jack · Liz:Jack tries on Liz's rec specs: 'Oh, God! The band is soaking!'
Nancy · Jack:The taffy flavor Jack and Nancy invented: 'Peanut Butter and Miller High Life'
Jack · Nancy:Jack: 'It's not better. It's different. There's no way of knowing at this point which is better.' / Nancy: 'What? You're a wackadoo, Donaghy.'
Jack:'You always know you're at the right party when it feels like the Riddler is about to attack.'
Jack:Jack refuses to be photographed with Avery at the red carpet, claiming it's for FCC approval optics: 'Like Santa Claus taking a shower.'
Nancy · Jack:'Wow, you look like Mr. Monopoly.' / 'And you look like you won second prize in a beauty contest... Collect $10.'
Nancy · Jack:Nancy: 'There's a Lee Marvin marathon on Turner Classics.' / Jack: 'I thought you said this wasn't going to be sexual.'
Jack:Jack's 'work call' is actually Derek Jeter's apartment: beer pong, New York Yankees vs. former mayors, $10K bet, Dinkins losing
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'How's your episode of Three's Company going?' / Jack: 'Like Three's Company, it's titillating, yet anxiety-producing.'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'I need your help, Janet.' / Liz: 'Aw, man, being Janet sucks!'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'You were right, Lemon. I don't think I can do this. Whichever one I'm with, I think she's the one. How do you choose between Lee Marvin and Derek Jeter?' / Liz: 'On looks, Lee Marvin.'
Jack:Jack on romantic confidence: 'I am successful romantically because I am confident, open, and positive. You are negative, pessimistic, and in danger of becoming permanently sour.'
Jack:Jack: 'And even worse, they're both going to lose me.'
Avery · Jack:Avery on age difference: 'Sure, people in this restaurant might think you're my dad...' / Jack: 'Or that you're my prostitute.' / Avery: 'Exactly.'
Jack · Avery:Jack, panicking about their age gap: 'I'm just saying, are we kidding ourselves with this? I'm 51 years old. Do you even know who Lee Marvin is?' / Avery: 'The sportscaster who bites ladies. Who cares?'
Avery · Jack:Jack, receiving Reagan's cufflinks: 'Someday you'll be as great a man as he was.' / Jack: 'I do like jelly beans.'
Liz · Jack:Jack: 'Jack, would TGS have gotten on TV if I was a dude?' / Jack: 'No, it was affirmative action. Why do you think your checks aren't the same color as Howie Mandel's?'
Liz · Jack:Liz looks at both gifts — the taffy and the Reagan cufflinks — and delivers a dramatic speech about what each represents. Jack: 'Yes, Lemon, I get it.'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'I choose... Avery! Right? Yes.' / Liz: 'Okay, but are you sure it's not just because you saw Avery last?'
Jack:I didn't realize we were still airing that. Cramer's been dead for six months.
Jack:The Astors, the Rockefellers, the Sbarros...
Avery · Jack:What's that supposed to mean, you dumb douche? Oh, it's starting. I should go.
Jack:Nancy and Avery almost ran into each other at the elevator.
Jack:I've prepared a very unromantic evening. First, we're going to see a documentary about female circumcision, and then we're going to eat too much Indian food.
Liz · Jack:You know what? Sometimes, I think... That's great. 'You know what? Sometimes, I think...' That's really annoying. I'm going to use that.
Jack:You know what I like after too much curry? A warm glass of milk and some John Philip Sousa marches.
Jack:Come on, you sound like me at the Olympic Village.
Jack:He's told me his name, like, a million times, but I keep forgetting it. It's Wesley.
Nancy · Jack:Besides my ex-husband, you're the only other man I've slept with. Two men? That can't be true.
Jack:Man, Catholic guilt. Am I right? Those nuns really messed me up. [Beat] Not me.
Jack:She put on red underwear. You would think it would clash with her hair. But it didn't.
Jack:Avery is cool, collected, descended from Swedish valley people. Nancy is a fiery, Irish nut job, descended from bog people.
Jack · Liz:Floyd's wedding is at a Catholic church? Are they having a Mass? He converted for her. Meanwhile, when we were dating, and I wanted to check out that Unitarian church... Good talk, Lemon. Mm-hmm.
Jack · Nancy:Nothing like being in church, having spent the night doing a bunch of bad crap. Am I right? Yes.
Jack:You can't leave, Donovan. We're in the middle of Mass. You and I both know you have to stay until the final blessing.
Jack · Liz:Stall? [reading unscheduled Bible passages to keep Nancy in the church]
Jack · Liz:- Lemon, it's Jack. - Who's Jackie?
Jack · Liz:surf, sun, and... Sandwiches? Heh, we didn't need sandwiches, Lemon.
Jack:It was so warm you could pick fully cooked lobsters out of the water.
Jack:Avery is the most perfect woman ever created. Like a young Bo Derek stuffed with a Barry Goldwater.
Jack:No more making love on the beach surrounded by a privacy circle of English-trained butlers.
Jack:The Harry Potter theme park is a huge hit with both anglophiles and pedophiles.
Jack:The movie division has a James Cameron movie the whole world will see, whether they like it or not.
Jack:Only NBC continues to be the engorged whitehead on the otherwise flawless face of universal media.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, why are you spending so much money on wigs? Tracy's head size keeps changing.
Jack:Oh, it's just a vanity credit, Lemon. A low-cost way to make someone feel more important. Like executive producer Ashton Kutcher, or secretary of state Hillary Clinton.
Jenna · Jack · Liz:Eye contact. [Jenna insists; Jack and Liz comply]
Jack:You are the Jackie O of our time.
Jack:'please, Avery, I'm using the commode right now.'
Jack:If I give in, then I'm no longer the Alpha in my house. Before you know it, she'll have me wearing jeans and reading fiction!
Jack:Meeting someone in a hotel room twice a month is not a relationship... just ask any hooker.
Jack:Oh, I love this. It takes people and turns them into amounts of money.
Liz · Jack:How many rooms did you book? It's for your own good, Lemon.
Jack:A middle-aged woman saying 'dude stuff'... is that on my sadness scavenger hunt? Why, yes, it is.
Jack:Her name is the Barefoot Contessa, Lemon, and you will never be like her, starting with the barefoot part.
Jack:And now she's sleeping peacefully while Fabius has retreated to his den, where he is drinking scotch and playing Snood.
Jack:When Avery got home from work, I noticed that she had some paint samples in her purse, so I immediately asked her if her sister had done anything crazy lately, and guess what...She had. Avery talked about that for about an hour, her anger eventually transforming into some rather interesting sex.
Liz · Jack:Just sending her a link to this cool site... funkyvintagewallpaper.com. Lemon, don't! She keeps her BlackBerry in bed with her. And send. Damn it, Lemon! It has to be elk tongue!
Jack:Every new pattern Avery showed me, I would simply say, 'yes, I like that one too.' And she was so overwhelmed with the choices that she made a mistake. She suggested that we consult her old college friend, who's an interior designer. His name is James. Not Jim, not Jimmy... Jamessss.
Jack:Do you know what a prize I am in the gay community? There's a term for it. I'm a bear... And I'm a daddy bear.
Jack · Liz:Have you seen my eyes, Lemon? Yep. They're very blue. Like a Mykonos sky. Mark Foley once called them 'piercing.'
Jack · Liz:Just one hour of flirty chatting with James, and you know what I'll get. Not a Glaad award, I know that.
Jack:Elk tongue.
Jack:Would you rather let go of your precious autonomy, and let Carol into your life? Or would you rather teach your cat to dial 911?
Jack · Liz:I never thought you'd make it this far, Lemon. I know, season five... We were supposed to get cancelled. Not just the show, I mean you.
Jack · Liz:You're in an 'adult dude' situation. You're wearing a beautiful blazer from Rico's husky-boy collection... Is that what ragazzi robusti means?
Jack:Oh, my God. Hannibal defeated Fabian with a decoy army. James was a plant. The strie wall finish was a decoy. She hannibaled my Fabian!
Jack · Liz:Lemon, Avery and I are perfect together. Like... Whiskey and hunting. 'Soul mate' doesn't even begin to do it justice. She's my... She's your pube shirt. Pube shirt.
Jack · Lemon:She likes that? No. But she respects it when it's done correctly.
Jack · Lemon:Has it happened before? Yes. With my college boyfriend, Joel Sucheki. A couple times with Dennis. And now Carol.
Shawn (director) · Jack:Please help me get his line! Fix this! No. I don't need any more problems to solve. Especially not him!
Jack:You go in there, you grab Carol, you take him into one of those unisex family bathrooms, pull down that diaper-changing thing, and go to town on him!
Lemon · Jack:Does this mean I'm fixed? Oh, God no! You've got years of therapy ahead of you. Probably electroshock. But this is a breakthrough, Lemon, and a big one.
Jack:I had this made for the baby at Hermes. So she can ride the maid!
Jack · Avery:Lemon went to middle school with a Charlotte who used to rub herself against a tree during recess.
Jack:Drive, intelligence, humility, chaos... or the acronym 'DIHC.' I'm looking for dihc, Avery. And I'm gonna take it wherever I can find it.
Jack:Lemon. Boundaries.
Jack · Liz:Jack walks away with just: 'Lemon. Boundaries.' and she simply says 'Got it.'
Jack:She's not used to that, and sometimes she... just falls over.
Jonathan · Jack:Sir, I have dreamed of this moment... But my fear is that you don't have enough ambition.
Jack:My attorney is waiting in his office. He will present you with a contract to be my mentee if you bring him... my pinky.
Jack:Ambition is the willingness to kill the things you love and eat them in order to stay alive. Haven't you ever read my throw pillow?
Liz Lemon · Jack:I know I shouldn't be calling, but my dad is in town, taking a break from being married. It's a gentleman's intermission.
Jack:He failed the test of humility. I cannot be his mentor.
Jonathan · Jack:I'd love for you to be my mentor, sir. But unfortunately, I already have one. / Stop calling me!
Jack · Jenna:I never thought of you for the Donaghy mentoring experience, but you are an unceasing onslaught of dysfunction. / Dr. Drew called me 'unfixable.'
Jack:He owns the world's only giraffe basketball team, the New York Necks.
Jack · Jenna:Then I'm afraid you're on your own, Jenna. You have failed the test of intelligence. / Oh, really? Well, so are you!
Jack:Shoulders back, Lemon. You're not welcoming people to castle Frankenstein.
Avery · Jack:My God. Are you trying to mentor me? / I am squared away, Donaghy. I get four hours of sleep a night, eat 1,200 calories a day, and my closet has been on the cover of organized living twice.
Jack · Avery:It's impossible. I would never say this to her face, but Lemon is above average. She's got just the right amount of dihc for me. / I hear it, and I don't care.
Liz Lemon · Jack:Work husband-slash-uncle. / Coworker-slash-little brother.
Jack:I'm a mighty great white shark, Lemon, and you are a remora, clinging to me with your suction cup head. I give you a free ride, and in exchange, you... eat my parasites.
Jack:I'm not gonna talk sense into anybody. Your father's being irrational. And irrational behavior doesn't respond to rationality. It responds to fear.
Jack · Dick Lemon:I gotta go. I'm taking Tricia to laser zeppelin. / You take care now. Go necks!
Dick Lemon · Jack:Can I show you a weird thing on my leg? / That's gotta be removed.
Jack · Avery:[Name suggestions for baby: Claire, Joanne, 'I look forward to visiting her and her wife... on their farm.' Jacqueline? 'Like a little Jack, but with boobs?' 'Hi, I'm Daphne Donaghy, I saw a turtle!' Kylie — 'She can strip her way through community college.']
Jack:'Kylie. Great. She can strip her way through community college. Come on.'
Jack:I don't know about Christina. 'Cause then everyone calls her Tina. And every Tina I've known is a real judgmental bitch.
Jack · Regina Bookman (via news clip):Kabletown still has an auxiliary button on their remote. What is that for? It just makes the screen go blue.
Jack:It's not your fault nobody watched America's Next Top Black Guy.
Jack · Steve Austin:Jack is handed a baby rattle and says 'Goo goo gaa gaa' with visible discomfort.
Jack:Lemon, those jeans make you look like a Mexican sports reporter.
Liz Lemon · Jack:Okay, that guy is bananas. Obviously he should not be in congress... What are you doing? He's running against Regina Bookman... I need him.
Jack:You're being awfully high and mighty for someone who once claimed her husband drowned so she could get out of a gym contract.
Steve Austin · Jack:No paved roads. Rum used as an anesthetic. Legalized slavery. All right. Some good pieces.
Jack:My generation never votes. It interferes with talking about ourselves all the time.
Jack:It's not handmade in USA. It's pronounced hond-made in oosa. The hond people are a Vietnamese slave tribe, and USA is their island prison. They made your jeans. You know how they get the stitching so small? Orphans.
Jack:Halliburton. In the mid-'90s, they found themselves with a surplus of canvas waterboarding hoods, so they had sweatshops make them into messenger bags to sell to outer-borough idiots.
Liz Lemon · Jack:The liberal media would have told me about this. There's no such thing. The New York Times is owned by NYT incorporated, which is owned by Altheon Ballistic Dynamics, which is owned by the Murdoch family, who are owned... by Halliburton.
Jack:Che Guevara... If only you knew what this place stood for. His great grandfather was Domingo Halliburton.
Jack · Steve Austin:New strategy. I'll raise the money and you stay in here and cultivate an aura of mystery. Ooh, good idea. Maybe I'll add to it by making some mysterious sounds. Oooohhh... Yeeee-eeee...
Jack:Like Anne Coulter's underwear. Crunchy on the outside, right-wing nut job on the inside.
Jack:No. I believe in Steve Austin and his plan to put a casino on the moon. Then I believe in Halliburton.
Jack · Liz (reaction):I would hit that. Too small.
Jack:That is the most unflattering item of clothing I have ever seen you wear. And I'm including 2008's turtleneck with smiley-face vest.
Jack:Good God, Lemon! I will never allow casinos on the moon!
Jack:Damn you, shorteralls!
Jack:As if that weren't enough, Austin was mocked in Jay Leno's monologue tonight. The kingmaker has spoken. It's over.
Jack:Letting morality get in the way of making money... I might as well go and be a teacher.
Jonathan · Jack:Would you like some cake? Yeah. Cake boy!
Jack:Just out of frame is a wheelbarrow full of cocaine.
Liz · Jack:So why the trip down memory lame? Ha ha! High-fiving a million angels.
Jack:And a G.E. woman for one week of corporate espionage at Revlon.
Jack:Part of my Princeton scholarship included work for the linguistics department. They wanted me to record every word of the dictionary to preserve the perfect American accent in case of nuclear war.
Jack:Thomas the tank engine. Wu-Tang songs.
Liz · Jack:Huh, I always forget you used to be poor. — Thank you.
Jack:Bales up, you micks! Bales up!
Jack:It wasn't the feces that got to you, Lemon. It was the crudely scrawled notes of 'help me.'
Jack · Liz:Lemon, I really don't have time for a long... the fall of 1988. A young Liz Lemon enters the University of Maryland. Richard Marx haircut. Pilonidal cyst under control. It was a magical time, Jack.
Jack:Don't worry about getting to your point. I'm going to live forever.
Jack:Lemon, that's actually my thoughtful window-staring spot. Visitors stare...over here.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, why does your crew look drunk? — I won $1,000 and I gave them all a bar tab, and they got drunk at lunch and now they like me. — Oh, Lemon, please. Money can't buy happiness. — It is happiness.
Jack · Liz:Make me say anything you want. Get it out of your system. Obama is very presidential.
Jack · Crew Member:A bunch of 30-year-olds, sitting around acting like college freshmen. — Hey, I'm almost 46.
Jack:Pete, will you be my friend?
Jack:I'm lonely. Would you like to come to my office tomorrow evening and hang out? Bring your guitar and some beer in cans and we will jam.
Jack · Pete:Now freestyle rap for me. ♪ Rollin' with my homie, me and Jackie D. / Bitches get ready for a sex party ♪
Jack:Ajay, Raj, Ramesh. What's going on here? Where are Dinesh, Kumar, and Sunavo?
Jack's voice (TK-421) · Jack · Scientists:Popcorn setting medium. — My god. — Which one?
Jack · Scientists:The new microwave says 'Popcorn setting medium' in Jack's voice.
Kenneth · Jack:Television studies with a minor in Bible sexuality. — So not psychiatry. Thank you.
Jack · Kenneth:But if you really want to help me, stick your hand in there and see if you get a shock. — Aah! My hand! — Damn it, it's supposed to do that.
Jack:Make sure you wear one of those Mexican ponchos.
Jack:Why don't you ask Choctee, an Inuit who wants a hot bowl of naglak... a man and food I just made up to illustrate a point?
Jack:You know I'm not a delivery man. I'm wearing a suit and carrying a microwave.
TK-421 Microwave · Jack:Start time. 1985. — 1985. That's not a time. I guess it could be a year. The year I started working here, actually. That's interesting. 1985. — Yes, 1985. Thank you. And since 1985 I have never allowed a sub-par product...
Jack · TK-421 Microwave:Stop. The point is, my legacy here is... over. Done. Over. End. Stop.
Jack:Congratulations on making the finest microwave I've ever seen.
Jack · Pete:Sitting around drinking beer while a guy in a poncho plays guitar. This is what I always pictured college being like. — I wouldn't really know. I only had about two weeks of real college before Paula got pregnant... twice.
Jack:Hey, Pete, how do I know that the colors you see are the same as the colors that I see? Maybe what I see as red, you perceive as green. We should be writing this stuff down.
Pete · Jack:Oh, god, she means the pizza. No, she's unhinging her jaw!
Tracy · Donald · Jack:The 'knock knock' bit — Tracy's son Donald enters without knocking, Tracy says 'It was opportunity knocking,' Jack points out no one actually knocked, then Donald literally knocks and re-enters so the metaphor is retroactively 'correct.'
Jack:'NASCAR's Fat Load Café is a gold mine.'
Tracy · Jack:'Brown and Folderson' — Tracy's fake investor name revealed to actually be the name of his wallet.
Jack:'That's an excellent question. The answer is questions like that.'
Jack:Jack on therapy: 'No. I believe that, when you have a problem, you talk it over with your priest or your tailor or the mute elevator porter at your men's club. Then you take that problem and crush it with your mind vise.'
Jack:'But for lesser beings, like curly-haired men and people who need glasses, therapy can help.'
Jack:'Because, and I mean this, I'm tired of talking this much to a woman I'm not having sex with.'
Donald · Jack:The restaurant is named 'Staples' — which is also a giant office-supply chain. Donald insists 'We'll see who's still in business 200 years from now.'
Jack · Donald:Jack surveys the restaurant and asks if the theme is 'Not Enough Tables.' Donald says no — there's a monster fight.
Jack · Tracy:'What about Brown and Folderson?' 'That's what I call my wallet!'
Jack:Jack: 'Not everyone is cut out to be a businessman. For example, curly-haired men and people who need glasses.'
Liz · Jack:Liz announces she's eating eggs again as a breakthrough. Jack: 'I know it means this conversation is disgusting.'
Jack:Jack diagnoses Kenneth: 'Look at his head shape. He has no brain pan!'
Jack:Jack to Kenneth: 'Put your mental burden in my mind vise, and I will crush it.'
Jack:'Put your mental burden in my mind vise, and I will crush it.'
Jack · Kenneth:Jack: 'Kenneth, who is Harold?' / Jack (internal): 'Please let Harold be human.' / Kenneth: 'Harold was a pig.'
Jack:Jack's attempt to console Kenneth: 'Or you gave his death meaning. His sacrifice made you what you are today, which is... the lowest-level employee at the last-place network in America.'
Jack:Jack's inspiring speech ends with: '...thinks they're smart even when they go to Arizona State.'
Jack:Jack, inspired by his own speech, dramatically declares: 'I am a protein!' and delivers the full science monologue correctly.
Jack:The protein speech includes '...to heroes who turn in Communists.'
Jack:Not if it's a song.
Kenneth · Jack:...this belt. [long pause]
Jack:We rented a villa on St. Esclavage. / an exiled French Admiral/defrocked minister.
Jack:my best man, deep-sea explorer and raconteur Bob Ballard, took ill after eating some bad toucan.
Jack:Oh, good God! [Jack's reaction to seeing the marriage certificate — a long beat of horror]
Jack · Liz:And in spite of not understanding, you responded, 'Oui.' / Well, one of my New Year's resolutions is to say yes... Yes to love, yes to life, yes to staying in more!
Jack · Liz:Wife. Mother... [Jack pauses dramatically as Liz processes the realization]
Jack:Of course it's everyone else's fault that the minister thought the lady in the white dress and the veil was the bride! It was a men's tennis shirt and a government-sanctioned head net.
Jack:Who wears shoes on a beach? Only Rocky and Apollo Creed during the training montage!
Liz · Jack:Whatever you say, dear. / Do not. Do... not. / Don't forget, honey, we have bridge with the Cunninghams tonight.
Jack:Divorce papers are being drawn up. Try to sign on the right line.
Jack:This is our NBC priority pie chart. This big red part, you can see, is 'The Biggest Loser.' The yellow slice, our number-two priority... Make It 1997 Again Through Science or Magic. And the little green part is Everything Else.
Jack:Your show netted $600 last year. Your parents had to buy an ad.
Jack:Oh, please. You have nothing to worry about. We have Martin Lawrence on a holding deal.
Jack:And if you need to make millions of dollars but have no real skills or education, the best place to do it is in entertainment. I mean, look at me! I can't even find Mexico on a map!
Jack:Entertainment is where untalented people go to get rich. And you have all the makings of a reality superstar... hair-pullingness, delusions of grandeur, an insanely short fuse, catchphrases.
Angie · Jack:It's my way till payday! / That's the t-shirt!
Jack · Liz:Friday nights... 11:00. / What? That is when 'TGS' or wrestling is on.
Jack:Jonathan, I have asked you not to call me at home after 11:00 or before.
Jack:We know what art is! It's paintings of horses!
Jack:And what was that voice? It is my imitation of Drew Barrymore's impression of that crazy lady!
Weinerslav · Jack · Liz:Does the employee spend an inordinate amount of time in the employer's office compared to other employees? / Well, yes, I suppose, but only because Miss Lemon is incapable of doing anything on her own. / Please. Half the time when I go up there, it's to help you choose a tie, and they're all red or blue!
Jack:Where I come from, if you have more than two colors on a tie, it means you're looking for a certain kind of bar.
Jack:And Lemon is the only one of my subordinates who's not afraid to warn me when I'm being too authoritative or handsome.
Jack · Liz:And Lemon is the only one of my subordinates who's not afraid to warn me when I'm being too authoritative or handsome. / Or when you have eye boogers.
Weinerslav · Jack · Liz:Is this the longest and perhaps most meaningful relationship in your life? / Do you often find yourselves thinking the same thing and then saying it at the exact same time? / [both simultaneously]: I'm sorry, Jack. / I apologize, Lemon.
Weinerslav · Jack:Okay! Now we're gonna do word association. / 'Foreplay.' / We're done, Weinerslav.
Jack · Liz:Try to walk like a woman, Lemon. / Your fly's open, Jack.
Jack:I said everyone, Sketch-Tron 6000.
Jack · Tracy:Tracy, do not mention where you think dinosaurs come from. Do not mention the underwater city of Sauronicon.
Jack · Jenna:Jenna, get all of your crazy yelling out of your system. 'If you don't volumize my hair, I will choke you to death with your boyfriend's wig!'
Jack · Frank:Frank, how is your armpit thing? Not great. It's almost touching my thigh thing.
Jack:Remember, everyone, just don't be yourselves.
Jack:...a tiny desk with a miniature pen set on it.
Jack:Avery does have a sister, but Eugenia is currently institutionalized for nerves... Lesbian...
Jack:Michael Kors is a friend. We own a gay racehorse together. And I convinced him to make wizard cloaks fashionable for ladies this winter.
Jack:And that's not racist because I don't know what she is.
Jack:You can tell a lot about someone by their handshake. You are confident. And you ate dinner in front of a mirror last night.
Jack:This is where we used to hold retirement parties. The balcony below is probably still littered with stripper bones.
Jack · Hank:And now there are people here wearing sandals. Yeah. Isn't that nice?
Jack:Don Geiss gave me this watch for firing a man on his deathbed!
Liz · Jack:How come when I try to get you to go to a murder-mystery party with me, it's all, 'we're business colleagues, Lemon'? Ugh, I don't know why I ever chose you as a friend. Let's just be clear about this — I chose you.
Jack:Congratulations. Worst so far!
Jack:I'm a six sigma black belt ultra, with the groin branding to prove it.
Jack:First I want to go home and delete everything that's on my DVR. [TV MUTES] Oh, come on!
Jack:What if you had a black bar at the bottom of the screen that prevented you from seeing anything dirty? ...Like soccer, or a woman stuffing a turkey.
Jack · Kenneth:However, I presented it as my own idea. Wonderful! Next topic.
Jack:This isn't how it works! You're the one being a silly Simon!
Jack · Hank Hooper:Innovation that is both family and bottom line friendly. Gentlemen, I give you Blabar. / You're really sexing me right now. It's filthy.
Jack:Who the hell do you think you are?
Jack:I can get you into a restaurant where you watch a child play with a bunny, then you eat the bunny.
Jack:Blackmail me. Demand to sleep with Avery. Hit me. Hit me in the face!
Jack:Oh, damn my krav maga training and lightning reflexes!
Jack:Here is my letter of resignation. It's probably for the best since this is obviously not a good fit. If you call security to escort me out, you should know I have several pistols hidden on me.
Hank · Kenneth · Jack:No? How about a hug? / You've gotta be kidding me.
Jack · Liz:Avery and I want the baby's middle name to be Elizabeth, after you. Oh, Jack, that's so gayballs.
Jack · Liz:Jack asks Liz: 'Quick. Who is the lead character on NCIS?' and Liz immediately answers 'Special agent Jethro Gibbs.'
Liz · Jack:"I also joined a book club at the senior center near my home. We're reading Murder on the Orient Express. You know there's a movie of that, right? I did not."
Jack:"Since inventing democracy, those guys have been coasting." (about Greece)
Jack:Baby named 'Liddy' — after Liddy Dole, G. Gordon Liddy, and martial arts instructor Li Di
Jack:Alysinna died last week. [re: Bridalplasty]
Jack:"Meeting magazine is already calling it 'the first great meeting of the decade.'"
Liz · Jack:"But aren't NBC and Kabletown the same company now? That seems like a pretty big conflict of interest. Why would the government even allow that merger? It's okay. Don't worry. You just keep watching Bridalplasty. Alysinna died last week."
Jack:"These women run your household, so you have to keep them happy, which means not saying anything as your DVR fills up with Trinidadian soap operas."
Jack · Sherry:Jack negotiating with his night nurse Sherry about her hourly rate using an elaborate potato analogy that completely fails
Jack · Sherry:Jack immediately capitulates and gives Sherry all her money after one pause
Jack:Professor Widmer's business school 'good job' spanking — revealed to be literal bare-bottom discipline
Jack:"Eight pounds of screaming, toothless, soft-skulled leverage."
Jack:Yes. But Sherry can't prove that I love Liddy, so I renegotiate under new conditions, specifically, that I hate my newborn daughter.
Jack:Jack tells Sherry he doesn't care about the baby: 'I've only known her for a few weeks, and other than a fondness for Avery's breasts, Liddy and I have nothing in common.'
Jack:Jack's full negotiation speech to Sherry: claiming he doesn't care about his baby, she's one of two people to vomit on him, and 'I haven't spoken to Joe Namath since that Mardi Gras'
Jack:"So evolutionarily, that makes me want to eat her."
Jack · Sherry:Jack's negotiating position collapses — 'Please stay. I'll send everyone in your family to college.'
Jack:Jack's revelation: 'I do have that. I have NBC.' — applying the Sherry/Liddy leverage dynamic to the Kabletown negotiation
Jack · Kabletown Rep:I have NBC. Look, broadcast networks receiving licensing fees is unprecedented, Jack. But we're willing to offer NBC 10% of what we pay cable. / Not to negotiate against myself, but I get where you guys are coming from.
Jack:Jack reapplies Sherry's exact tactics in the NBC negotiation — 'What you wanna do?' — and wins
Jack:Jack: 'I see that someone got to first base, which is what I consider sex with a stranger.'
Jack:"I once saw an Internet video of a mouse and a bird that are friends. Don't overthink it."
Anders · Jenna · Jack:It's white wine, ice cubes, and sprite. / She calls it... Funky juice. / I don't know if I want to do this.
Liz · Jack:Do you think I hate women? / Absolutely. But it's not your fault. You are genetically predisposed to compete against other women for the attention of strong, powerful men like myself or others very similar to me. For example, Hercules, the highlander, or, uh...God.
Jack:Female jealousy is an evolutionary fact, Lemon. If you try to breed it out of them, you end up with a lesbian with hip dysplasia.
Jack · Liz:She's got good energy. Hire her immediately. / See? I'm not threatened by the fact that men are attracted to her. / Please, Lemon. It's got nothing to do with her hot mouth.
Jack · Liz:Like Hank Hooper says in his book, 'New blood is the lifeblood of every company's blood.' He's not a strong writer.
Jack · Liz · Kaylie:There is a potential successor, so to get what I want, I must find a way to destroy her. / Her? It's a woman? / Well, not exactly. Hi, I'm Kaylie Hooper. I'm 14 years old and I'm waiting in line to meet Justin Bieber...
Jack:Her parents' generation was lost to 'trust fund kids' disease. The aunt smokes pot and 'paints.' The father is trying to sail an inflatable castle across the Atlantic.
Jack:To become a doctor's nurse or a lawyer's mistress or even the president of the United States Shopping Association.
Liz · Jack:Meanwhile, I'm helping women achieve their potential. Because potential is the difference between what you can't do and what can't you do. / Did you get that off of a water bottle? / No, I sent it in, but Aquafem did not choose it.
Jack:Now, you may have heard of J. Fred Muggs, the chimpanzee that was on The Today Show in the '50s. But what most people don't know is that NBC is still a network.
Jack:He discovered the Titanic, the Lusitania, and according to his website, a guilt-free cheesecake recipe.
Jack:Please follow me to Brian Williams' bathroom, which is also J. Fred Muggs' skull.
Jack:Lemon, who thinks gesturing with one's thumbs is for poor people and is going to be the next CEO of Kabletown? / This guy. [thumbs gesture]
Jack:Practice frottage on a poster of Linda Ronstadt and meet your idol. Like when I met Jacques Cousteau. I will never forget what he said to me. / [pause] Oh, I did forget. It was so long ago.
Jack · Liz:I should dig up my old shell collection and give it to her. Complete the seduction after Bob Ballard and I double-team her. / Word choice, Jack. / Withdrawn.
Jack · Abby:Hi. I'm Jack. It's nice to meet you. / [Jack reacts to Abby's baby-talk response with visible discomfort]
Bob Ballard · Jack:The male is much smaller and is basically a parasite that lives on her. Until mating, of course. Then the male dies. / Yes, the scientific term for that is 'marriage.' Don't tell Gina I said that.
Bob Ballard · Jack:I'm making you a student argonaut. / [Cut to Jack] Is there an age cutoff for the student argonauts? / What if you gave me a sticker as a joke?
Jack:[Jack in fantasy sequence, standing at bow of ship, singing a sea shanty] 'There she is, men. The elusive northern right whale.' ♪ Oh blow the wind westerly ♪
Jack · Kenneth:Kenneth, when I'm gone, how do you think people will remember me? / Actually, sir, I've already started to compose a heroic ballad commemorating your life. ♪ Slaves of Jesus ♪ ♪ hear my tale ♪
Jack:I'll tell you what they'll say. 'Hey, remember Jack Donaghy? He wore a lot of suits and went to a lot of meetings. Now power down, conversation robot.'
Jack:'Remember Jack Donaghy? He was the world's greatest oceanographer. And we walruses owe him everything for giving us the gift of language.'
Jack:[Beat] No.
Jack · Various voices:Who else is on the call? / Katherine Scott, sales. Andy Hoberman, web sales. Gil Coughlin, oversight. I've got everyone from meeting planning. Tricia, Maria, Greg, Greg P., Lyle, Edwin. / This is Charles. I'm on for Douglas. / No, Charles. I'm on, but I just dialed in.
Jack:I could ask you the same thing, but that would make no sense.
Jack:The negative is in my personal safe along with my will and some beanie babies that I thought would be worth more.
Jack · Kaylie:I can always seduce one of your teachers and get her to fail you. / I'd be into that. / Me too.
Jack · Kaylie:Better pick up your books or you'll be late for class. / This is my free period. / Well played.
Jack · Kaylie:Better pick up your books or you'll be late for class. / This is my free period. / Well played.
Jack:Well, Lemon... [Episode ends]
Angie · Jack · Liz:My single is called 'My Single is Dropping' and it's dropping.
Jack:John Francis Donaghy. Verbal signature.
Jack · D'Fwan:When we were on the DL, we spent most of our time in the whirlpool getting rubbed down. You were a switch-hitter? Switch-hitter. Pitcher. Catcher. Whatever the boys needed.
Jack:'Going both ways' in football means playing offense and defense. And there is nothing gay about the Princeton fight song. ♪ Oh, the merry men of Princeton are charging up the rear ♪
Jack:Regardless, I'm not gay or clumsy. [Chair squeaks] That was the chair. Here. I'll show you. [Silence]
Jack:You know what, I give up. If this idiotic show insists on portraying me as some clumsy, gay flatulent, so be it. I am extremely secure in my athleticism, my masculinity, and my rectal integrity.
Jack:I'm a superb dancer. At Princeton, I played Maria in an all-male production of West Side Story. Oh, forget it. You people should be ashamed of yourselves.
Jenna · Jack:You'll never get me Charles. / That was the chair, because I only pass gas once a year for an hour.
Jack · Liz:I know. I broke it. I needed to speak with you, and I knew that was the fastest way to get you up here.
Jack:'TGS with Tracy Jordan' without Tracy Jordan is an oxymoron, like 'liberal government' or 'female scientist.'
Jack:Power wagging, and I'm doing what I can, but I spent a lot of political capital buying a new network for KableTown.
Jack:TWINKS is an acronym designed to project a positive gay image. 'TWINKS... Television With Individuals... Naive, Kinky, Shaved.'
Jack:Ugh, no. Next. [Reacting to bad TWINKS programming on screen]
Jack:'I'm Afraid My Hands Are Tied'... is the only show anyone's watching on TWINKS.
Jack:Baby? Ah, yes, BAB Y... Black-Asian Bisexual Youths. Those are viewers we want, and TWINKS is gonna bring them in.
Jack:My night nurse swears she calls me 'koskel,' which, in Trinidadian Creole, means 'stranger.'
Jack:I'm remaking 'Knight Rider' with the Oscar Mayer Wienermobile.
Jack:His name is Devon Banks. [Beat] I sense something, a presence I've not felt since...
Jack:He's a gay shark, like the actor who played Jaws.
Jack:Banks put all of his eggs in the Obama basket. When the administration started to falter because of our conspiracy... I mean, Obama's ineptitude...
Jack:Then he tried to rejoin us capitalists. Showed up at John Paulson's Sweet Sixteen Billion party. Nobody would talk to him, not even Ira. And he was all, 'Oh, I'll just look at these books,' then pretended to get a text and left. And we were all like, 'Whatever. We'll go to IHOP and not tell him!'
Jack:He's on LinkedIn, Lemon. He might as well be dead!
Jack · Liz:...crab, I guess. What else crawls, Lemon? Babies, Jack. You have one.
Jack:I like the end part.
Jack:I thought we understood each other! I thought we understood that you are never to think that I understand anything!
Liz · Jack:Olive just turns into Barham? Justice for Rodney King! How do I get to 10? It's the 10! Rodney King!
Jack · Devon Banks:I'll keep you on a very tight leash. — Fantastic. Continue. — You will be under me, and if there's one slipup, your ass is mine!
Devon · Jack:Devon: 'I'll keep you on a very tight leash.' / Jack: 'Fantastic. Continue.'
Devon Banks · Jack:Down came the rain and washed the spider out! — No! You are the spider. I am the sun! I dry up all the rain! — Yes! Freeing me, the spider, to climb up the spout again! — You bastard!
Jack:The only explanation I can think of is that he keeps stopping to perform good deeds.
Devon Banks · Jack:Morning, Jack! Empty coffee pot, same cheap $300 tie as yesterday, nose hair all askew. You've been here all night trying to figure out how to fight back, haven't you?
Jack · Devon Banks:But Europe is my purview! I was supposed to go there next week. I was going to take a picture where it looked like I was holding up the Leaning Tower of Pisa! Now I'll be taking that picture!
Jack:That was weak, Banks.
Devon Banks · Jack:And yet you still managed to be here all night trying to figure out how to bring me down? Damn, Jack. You are strong. You're like Dora's friend. — Benny the Bull. — Benny the Bull.
Jack · Walter:All right. But if I find out you're holding out on me, I will no longer allow you to use my office for your History Club. That's ironic, because next week's topic is fascism.
Liz · Jack:Tracy only contacts Kenneth on special occasions, like Bastille Day. I'm going to go ahead and assume that Bastille is a stripper.
Jack:As well you should.
Jack · Liz:And this morning I figured out how to fix NBC. We will only do shows that work. That's nonsense.
Jack:We produce more failed pilots than the French Air Force.
Jack:Who Nose? — About an investigative reporter who can't smell and has to get the story using only his eyes, ears and other senses.
Jack · Robot Dad actor:Dad 2.0 clip: 'Your father may be gone, but before he died he programmed me to take his place... No! Shut it down! This is terrible.'
Liz · Jack · Federicci's owner:Pizza Academy rivalry: 'New York Pizza Academy vs. Pizza Academy of New York — I hate you!'
Jack · Pizza Owner's Son:What fraternity are you pledging? — I'm not. There are no fraternities at New York Pizza Academy. — That's right. You correctly answered my trick question. Now I am bound by Pizza Academy tradition to grant you any request.
Liz · Jack:Well, this is obviously a dead end. [Beat as they look at the delivery receipts that clearly reveal Tracy's location]
Jenna · Jack:Jack, can we talk, one ten to another? I'm an eleven, but continue.
Jack:Three years, millions on rewrites, $20,000 in first-class flights for the drill.
Jenna · Jack:Okay, we just need to hire some of those ugly people who have the paper and change the shapes on it. — Writers? No. We'll do the work ourselves.
Jenna · Jack:I'll get a computer from one of the ugly people. And I'll bring the world's greatest encyclopedia, my mind.
Jack:Did you make sure that Tracy wasn't pretending to be his own wax figure at Madame Tussaud's?
Jack · Jenna:Did you know that Connecticut is home to the oldest public library in the United States? — Huh. Could you use that to motivate Slaughterface sewing the sheriff's mouth to his own anus?
Jack:Of course. Elegant.
Jack:It begins with the words!
Jack · Phil Rosenthal:Ladies and gentlemen, this is Phil Rosenthal, the creator of the acclaimed show Everybody Loves Raymond. The last great sitcom, still does a 3-4 share in syndication. I did okay. I have a refrigerator that's just for soda, so...
Jack · Liz:To vote for Phil Rosenthal, text Phil to 62288. — Vote? For what? Isn't this supposed to be a movie? — Again, it doesn't matter. People will just do it, and we get 99 cents a text.
Liz · Jack:Well I'm not letting Rosenthal win. I am voting for the Muppet. — To vote for Liz Lemon, text Liz to 62288.

Jack · Liz:Jack, after Liz's big speech about taking control: 'I'm going to give you...' [long pause] '...one of my neckties.'

Jack:Jack describes the privileges of success: 'having people pay you for the privilege of cutting your hair'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'You're raising a child?' Jack: 'Come on. I think Avery is probably doing that.'
Jack · Liz:Liz invokes The Secret sarcastically; Jack: 'I wish Liz Lemon would leave so I could go back to work.' Liz is immediately dragged out by an unseen force, screaming.
Jack · Avery:Avery video-calls expecting Skype sex; Jack is using the same device for the baby's FaceTime with mommy
Jack · Sherry:Jack insists he doesn't know why Liddy would be afraid of Reagan, then defensively asks: 'Are you accusing me of not doing enough Reagan time with her?'
Avery · Jack:Avery: 'Do you want to watch me eat jelly beans... real slow?' Jack: 'Yes.'
Jack · Jonathan:Jack upon learning Avery is detained: 'I told her to stay. I didn't want her at home. This is my fault.' Jonathan: 'Sir, if you say one more syllable, that's a haiku.'
Liz · Jack:Liz interrupts Jack's Kim Jong-il crisis to ask for help with a bag stuck in a tree. Jack treats both problems as equally serious.
Jack:Avery can't accept Bill Clinton's help 'because she can't forgive him for not hitting on her during the 1996 Democratic Convention. She's much too thin.'
Jack · Liz:Jack broke up with Condoleezza Rice via text: 'Me plus you equals frowny face.'
Tracy · Jack:Tracy briefs Jack on Kim Jong-il: 'Kim Jong-il sometimes shoots in the closeup too much. Comedy lives in the wide shot. And also... his acting notes are often vague.'
Jack:'We do a lot of pirate-themed sexual role-play. I'm a parrot.'
Jack · Avery:Avery concludes 'capitalism may be flawed.' Jack: 'My God! What are those monsters doing to her?'
Condi Rice · Jack:Condi Rice to Jack: 'You know, I've been to the DMZ. They have signs. Can your wife not read?'
Jack:Jack's list of apologies to Condi includes: 'I went drinking with Karl Rove on Valentine's Day' and 'I said your favorite movie was lame. "Mars Attacks!" is awesome!'
Condi Rice · Jack:Condi and Jack's piano/flute grudge match: 'Now, admit that I'm better at the piano than you are at the flute.' / 'Never!' — followed by an actual musical duel
Jack:Jack: 'Follow this, you turkey!' [during musical duel]
Condi Rice · Jack:Post-duel: Condi concedes Jack is better at piano. 'Now, get out of here before this gets weird.' / Jack: 'You're the turkey.'
Jack:Jack: 'I'm sure her battery died right after I finished that speech, just like I wanted it to.' Then someone says 'Smooth move, Ferguson!' in the background.
Jack:Jack: 'Condi tried, but Avery plus freedom equals... frowny face.'
Jack · Liz:Final twist: Avery is now married to Kim Jong-un. 'Avery is now married to Kim Jong-il's son, Kim Jong-un.'
Jack:I know that people are feeling sorry for me because my wife was kidnapped by Kim Jong-il — but I do not need your pity.
Jack · Liz:Stop talking like that, Lemon. / I'm trying to, but I'm kind of locked in, sweetie.
Jack:I can hardly drink my morning-shower Scotch.
Jack:We would go to Strawberry Fields in Central Park and kick hippies' hacky sacks into the bushes.
Jack · Liz:Normal? I don't know what normal is anymore. / Normal is a woman and a woman getting married and having a child.
Liz · Jack:Bush is a war criminal! There's so much texting going on these days and no communicating! / Carbon tax! / Please leave! / That's the spirit!
Jack · Kenneth:That was her chair. / Oh, I'm sorry. / No, please sit. You two have similar-shaped buttocks.
Jack:My house is full of white cockroaches.
Jonathan · Jack:What are you doing? That's my job. / Jonathan volunteered to clean up so you could come over again tonight, right, Jonathan?
Jack:Since you've just been staring at me like that for the last 20 minutes... I'm gonna scoot on out of here.
Jack:Don't go, Avery. I mean, Kenneth.
Jack:Put on these earrings.
Jack · Kenneth:Jack and Kenneth role-play a domestic evening — Kenneth in earrings, telling Jack about his 'day' including a 'soft yes from Jonathan about my birthday party' and an 'uncomfortable dinner.'
Kenneth · Jack:Mr. Donaghy, where are my clothes? / Sherry must have put them in the wash while you were showering. Now, give us a twirl.
Jack:Now, what do you say you put on some of Avery's perfume and we head over to Strawberry Fields and whip pennies at the drum circle?
Jack:I had the perfect woman. Gorgeous. Brilliant. Always let me be the hat in Monopoly.
Jack:God, are you punishing me because my hair is better than yours?
Jack · Kenneth:He's gonna ask me to go to his birthday party. / Hey, Mrs. Dongy, you wan' come on down my birfday party?
Jack:And, uh, thank you... Avery.
Jack · Liz · Liddy:Good God! Lemon? / Liddy, say, 'Good God, Lemon.' / Guh gah, Lem.
Liz · Jack:I did it, Jack. I got my dream vacation. / You're on a chain gang. / I'm outdoors, I'm wearing comfortable clothes, I'm gardening, and I'm learning Spanish.
Jack:It's nice to see that we're back to our version of normal.
Jack:Have you ever put out a cigar on Gilbert Gottfried's neck? Because I have, and his screams were the worst thing I'd ever heard. Until tonight.
Jack:Also, Jason, if you think you're passing for straight, you're embarrassing yourself.
Jack:Of course. A little less than my kidnapped wife, but I did get a nice Christmas card from Avery and Kim Jong-Un.
Jack:She's like a little human tumbler of scotch.
Jack · Liz:Jack predicts Liz's entire holiday in exact detail — eggnog alcohol mistake, shoving match with aunt over star, 'It was my year!', lupus/line-cutting, two bad sweaters, wrong War WWII book for Dad.
Jack:Take off that jacket. If you're not wearing one of those Christmas sweaters out of guilt, I'll give you $1,000.
Jack · Liz:This week, America's kids sing really old songs that everyone knows and NBC doesn't have to pay for. / It's brilliant.
Jack:You try riding a cow through midtown Manhattan, Lemon. The animal will panic.
Jack:What if I told you your first match burned his groin off in an accident at his cake shop.
Jack · Jenna:Oh. Ha. That's odd, because my daughter's name... / I'm going to interrupt you right there.
Jack:I haven't seen such a unanimously negative response since the Frasier spin-off, hey, Roz.
Jack:That's for you. [Jack shows something to Liz off-camera, reaction implied]
Jack:After 6 years, I've cheered up Miss Lemon. That was on your list?
Jack · Kenneth:Have you ever been in love? / Only while playing tennis. / I'm kidding. I've never played tennis.
Kenneth · Jack:Sir, I've never even seen the ocean. / Never? Kenneth, that's insane.
Jack:You know what? I have seen the ocean on a can of tuna. Newsflash, Kenneth! Everybody get down!
Jack:Next week Jay-Z was going to do a duet with one of the spinning chairs from the Voice, and the chair just pulled out.
Jack:Jack explains to Liddy that Variety called the show 'Boffo' and 'they don't throw that word around lightly' — treating a trade publication review as an infant's required reading
Jack:And if you think I'm going to turn my back on a 10.2/4.2 in the demo just because I feel bad... just because those kids had the same scared look on their faces that you had when that dog got too close to your stroller.
Jack:What are you doing, Liddy? Are you touching my hand because you're a baby and you're developing your fine motor skills? Or are you trying to tell me something?
Liddy · Jack:Mommy. / Did you say 'money'? / Mommy. / Yes, money. Are you telling me that money's more important than doing what's right? That I should keep on doing the show? / I want mommy. / I want money too!
Jack · Liz:You're going alone, to the 9:10 showing of Garry Marshall's New Year's Eve. You've waited five weeks to see it, to make sure that you wouldn't contribute to it being the number one movie in America. You'll say you're seeing it ironically, and yet you'll tear up when Ashton Kutcher kisses Lea Michele. / You know me. / I love it when the swarthy girl gets the guy.
Jack:You'll say you're seeing it ironically, and yet you'll tear up when Ashton Kutcher kisses Lea Michele.
News Anchor · Jack:Jordan's comments are likely annoying his co-workers who thought they'd linger over breakfast this morning, perhaps with a new lover. Wow, that is some detailed reporting, Curry.
Jack:Did you know that Snuggles the fabric softener bear is gay? He's dating the Charmin cub.
Jack:Because of my unfortunate situation with Avery, I'm alone. And I know of course that you're not seeing anyone, therefore I've decided that you and I should become friends with benefits.
Jack:I saw you, Lemon. At the movies, last night, with your mouth on a man.
Liz · Jack:Criss is trying to... / You can stop right there. / He's an entrepreneur. He's currently meeting with investors in the hopes of starting an organic gourmet hot dog truck.
Jack:Lemon, I have said 'good God' to you before, but I don't think I've ever meant it until now. Good God!
Jack · Liz:Jersey City? His parents' apartment? It's not a walk-up, is it? / He's actually been living with me for the past month.
Jack:The fact that you felt you had to keep 'Chris' — and I'm saying his name with an 'h' and only one 's' — the fact that you kept him from me...
Jack:The fact that you kept him from me simply proves that it doesn't matter whether I meet him or not. You already know what I would say, and you know I'm right.
Jack:So I might as well meet him and get it over with. I'll probably love him. After all, we're both Princeton men.
Jack:Now that seems like a good use of time for a busy entrepreneur.
Jack:I like how his voice goes up at the ends of sentences. That's very masculine.
Jack:Oh, my. Is that a tan line on Criss' thumb? Did Criss used to wear a thumb ring? / Oh, better hold on to this one. He's getting a free muffin soon.
Jack:Oh, my. Is that a tan line on Criss' thumb? Did Criss used to wear a thumb ring? / Oh, better hold on to this one. He's getting a free muffin soon.
Jack:Wow, I've never seen a Sunglass Hut credit card before.
Jack · Liz:Am I in your head, Lemon? / Yes, but don't be so proud. I also have a lot of imaginary arguments with the couples on House Hunters. Why can't people look past paint color?
Jack · Liz:That week you wore those blue contact lenses. / I looked like Adriana Lima.
Liz · Jack:Do you have any water? / You know what, Lemon? Fine. You are technically an adult. You can do whatever you want.
Liz · Jack:Really? So I won? With the train thing? / I won't ask any questions about Criss again. / You promise? / Promise. With two 's's.
Jack:Who do you think is watching your show? Funky taste-makers? Black nerds, jet Blue passengers who fall asleep with the TV on, pets whose owners have died, and, uh, idiots.
Jack · Liz:You wrote 'remember to DVR Kendra' on your hand. I think you can handle it. / Ah, no, damn it. Now I gotta pray for a marathon.
Jack:We sent Elton and David a honey-baked ham. What more do they want?
Jack · Liz:Jack simply says 'Good God, Lemon' upon seeing Liz — immediately after Criss predicted he would.
Jack:I'll have you know the last man who wore jeans in this office was named Theodore Wrangler. And you, Banks, could not even carry his trademark, floor-length, suede cape.
Devin Banks · Jack:Do you know what comes up on my phone when you call? [implied: a humiliating/embarrassing photo of Jack]
Jack:The only copy of that photograph is in Stephanie Seymour's safety deposit box.
Devin Banks · Jack:We're new, we're called PEEN. / Acronym? / [Banks has no answer]
Jack:The highest grossing movie of all time! The boat, not the movie, the boat!
Jack:Oh, is this one about how Asians act on the subway? I know, I almost threw up the first time I heard it.
Devin Banks · Jack:Starts out as a joke about our first Mexican President. My Lord. And ends up as just a rant against women.
Jack · Devin Banks:What do you want, money? A job? / All right, you can watch me shower, but no touching. / No touching just makes it hotter.
Jack · Devin Banks:Banks, that's impossible. Just last year, they rejected one of St. Matthew's actual descendants. I know. I heard that during her interview she turned the class hamster into a dove.
Jack:You can't tear up my checks, Criss. They're printed on Nixon's old bed sheets.
Jack:She's my subordifriend.
Jack · Liz:I said I wouldn't ask you any more questions. / Semantics!
Jack · Liz:For the better. / Yes. The basket of shells was a nice touch.
Jack:Well, I have to go get a bunch of gaybies into preschool before we all get sued, so, uh...
Jack:Well done, Lemon. [Jack nods approvingly at Liz's romantic choice]
Jack:Friendship is the one kind of ship that never sinks.
Devin Banks · Jack:Who designed your bathroom? It's exquisite. / I did, you son of a bitch.
Jack:I'm excellent at rearranging bathrooms.
Jack:Our new slogan, 'NBC, we have a magical horse?' Is testing, uh... Okay.
Jack:Oh, God, Liddy might have to go to public school.
Devin Banks · Jack:I wonder what Liddy will be doing with her degree from SUNY. / Don't even say it. / Oneonta.
Jack:In a lot of ways, you and I had similar upbringings. Terrible schools, broken homes... Thinking basketball was the ticket out. Being wrong.
Jack:I spent all day creating a movement just to get back at Liz Lemon. / I said creating a movement.
Jack:In this country, anyone could be the next Jack Donaghy or the next Denise Richards.
Jack · Devin Banks:Where did you go to school, Devin? I had the best education in the world. Private kindergarten... Experimental boarding school in Carmel where the students teach the teachers, and the teachers teach animals.
Jack · Devin Banks:Just like Liddy's gonna crush your sons. She's already sorting objects by shape and color. / At 11 months, I don't think so. / She can count to ten if you say seven for her.
Devin Banks · Jack:She gets five and nine? / She can save five words. / So. / In Mandarin.
Jack · Devin Banks:They've put her with the toddlers at her singing and clapping class at Fun Factory. / She's in Orange group?
Jack · Devin Banks:And did I mention... she's using the potty. / Surely just for wee-wee. / No.
Jack · Criss:All right, I'm putting you on probationary approval. / Okay, I don't really care. / I'll tell you what changed my mind, Criss: a conversation I had with Tracy Jordan.
Jack:Maybe you could become a suitable sex partner for Liz Lemon. You've got three months.
Jack:"She's bigger than Maulik Pancholy on Whitney."
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'You have a power that I don't. Besides the greatest power of all?' Liz: 'The ability to gestate life.'
Jack:'For what it's worth, CIA analysts have confirmed that she is, indeed, keeping it tight.'
Jack:'With texting and email, a multi-million dollar system of pleasure slaves is no longer needed.'
Jack:'much like that memoir Reagan wrote the week before he died. It's...scattered.'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'Well, now I think we're just talking about your thing.' Jack: 'You tricked me.'
Jack:Jack: 'I have good news and I have bad news. The bad news is I am shutting down the page program. The good news is for a different group of people.'
Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth begins the John Henry story; Jack cuts him off: 'We all know about John Henry, Kenneth. It's just a story.' Kenneth: 'Well then, I know about another story that turned out to be true.'
Jack · Toofer · Phillie Phanatic:Scotch fountain, Phillie Phanatic: 'Toofer, put that glass down. That scotch fountain obviously was not meant for you. Phillie Phanatic, get away from him.'
Jack:'Lance Ito, you're out of order! Line!'
Lutz · Jack:Jack tries to blame the gift mix-up on 'the machines.' Lutz: 'Ha! It was Jack! Guys, Jack makes dumb mistakes. He's just like us. He's no better than I am. He's just got a suit.'
Jack:Jack: 'No, I am better than you, Lutz.' — then immediately: 'Someone else is to blame, and I will find him or, more likely, her.'
Jack · Lutz:Jack: 'He looks scared, like Lutz on an escalator.' Lutz: 'Twinsies!'
Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth to Jack: 'I was wrong. I do need you.' Jack: 'You had me at I was wrong, I do need.'
Jack:Jack: 'I can replace just about everything you do, but no machine could ever be the human wastebasket that I dump my stupid mistakes into.'
Jack · Lutz:'You thumb with a wig, those gifts were supposed to go to the 60th floor.' / 'Good job, Jack. Blame it on an albino. Classic, 'cause it works.'
Jack · Liz:Jack approaches Liz and uses his dead mother as a Valentine's pitch: 'you know, my mom did just die. Will you be my Valentine?'
Jack · Tracy:Jack explains his extra energy from Avery's absence: 'My animus has become pent up.' Tracy: 'Why don't you just come out and say you haven't had mommy-daddy sheet monster times.' Jack: 'I'm not about to cheat on the woman I love, and I've never mommy-daddy sheet monstered myself.'
Jack:Jack's Valentine's Day flashback: 'We're not going to Chili's until I hit one.' Golf ball hits him in the crotch. 'I would kill to get hit in the crotch by a baseball today.'
Jack:Jack explaining his mother-in-law situation: 'The first Jessup moved to this country in 1760 to avoid an embarrassing regifting incident.'
Jack:Jack's 'denial' pun: 'What is she, an Egyptian crocodile? 'Cause she is in denial.' Then: 'I've had two coffees.'
Jack · Tracy:Elevator scene: Jack is telling Tracy his plan to give Valentine's a second chance, then the elevator opens and cuts the conversation off with 'What a shame. It felt like we were just getting started.' / '"Ma!"'
Liz · Jack:Liz says 'We better be able to survive a simple trip to Ikea.' Jack/colleague: 'No, Liz, don't test it. Especially this early in a relationship. It's like when Mickey Rourke tested his catapult on me.'
Jack:Jack's golf frustration aside: 'Maybe I'm hitting them too hard. And I should not have walked past that sporting goods store where the mannequins have nipples. And what race were those mannequins, because their skin was gray. They were like faceless sex aliens.'
Diana · Jack:Diana talks to her dead husband: 'Wonderful news. You know our pacing horse, squanto? She's foaling in the spring.' Jack: 'Your husband has been dead for 15 years.'
Diana · Jack:Diana: 'What about organizing three round-Robin paddle tennis tournaments?' / 'I heard that one of them was a disaster.' / 'Who told you that? Bebe Butler? Oh, she's trying to destroy me.'
Jack:Jack's UN speech failures: 'Mein herr, meine frau Avery Jessup... Kim Jong-Il vuvuzela / Charlize Theron... Boomerang my Sheila back to her Joey, mate.'
Jack:Jack: 'The U.N. is a useless organization, with a ridiculous army. Robin's egg blue helmets? Great camouflage, if you're invading an easter egg hunt.'
UN Bureaucrat · Jack:Jack and Diana at the UN: The UN bureaucrat says 'Yes, your excellency. And I also wish you, a bear-y happy Valentine's Day.' He holds up a bear.
Jack · Diana:Jack looks at his watch, sees '14' (the date), says 'Do you see a 14 on my watch? / Yes, it's the date. Happy Valentine's Day. That's cute.'
Diana · Jack:Jack: 'I've organized several dog and pony shows, and I'm offended by what you're implying.' Diana takes offense at Jack's metaphor; she literally organizes dog and pony shows.
Jack · Transylvanian Consul:Jack threatens the consul: 'I am a very powerful man. I can see to it that Transylvania never sees another episode of Friends. / No! Monica and Chandler just slept together in London.'
Jack:Jack's Friends spoiler as negotiating weapon: 'Oh, and Cjokula — at Monica and Chandler's wedding, Rachel's the one who is pregnant.'
Jack · Diana:Jack: 'I didn't know you had that in you. Yosemite Sam was based on my grandfather, so yes, I do have a temper.'
Jack:Jack apologizes for comparing Diana to her late husband — 'You are not some liver-spotted old man constantly spilling hot tea in his lap until his whole crotch was useless. Useless!'
Jack · Diana:Jack and Diana try to talk about baseball to defuse sexual tension: '- The bats are long and hard. - The gloves are girls. - Balls! - Jeter's thighs in those pants. New topic.'
Jack · Diana:Diana and Jack bond over the Baltimore Philharmonic's decline: 'These days, it's just a boom box and a guy in a crab costume. He gets shot out of a cannon at Ravens games.'
Jack · Diana:'Now why would anyone use music written by a man dying of syphilis to sell douches.' / 'Because people are getting stupider.'
Jack · Diana:Jack/Diana contrast Schubert's accomplishments at 31 with a passing obese man: 'Think how much Schubert accomplished in the 31 years he was alive. Coming through. And then there's, uh, this guy. My taxes are paying for your healthcare! Do a sit-up!'
Jack · Liz:Jack's confession to Liz: 'I want to have sex with Avery's mother.' / 'No! You can't do that.' / 'And come on, didn't our friends the ancient Olmecs bed both mother and daughter to satisfy their Jaguar gods? And everybody loves them.'
Jack · Liz:Liz walking up stairs while on phone with Jack: 'Just hearing your labored breathing while you walk up stairs has purged me of all sexual desire.'
Jack:Jack: 'Lemon, please hang up. I can't listen to any more of this.'
Jack · Diana:Jack and Diana's near-kiss breaks into Jack passing her meatballs: '- Oh, baby. - Oh, yes. - Yes! - Oh, that's good. - Oh, yes. - Oh, yeah, don't stop. - Oh, just like that. - Yeah, baby! - Oh. Oh, yeah!'
Jack:Fifth Avenue is closed for a joint pain walkathon. It's only four blocks but they are so slow.
Jack:Lemon, we live in the world capital of culture, finance and King Kong attacks.
Liz · Jack:Unlike the d-bag who let the elevator door close on me this morning. It was funny because you were so mad.
Jack · Liz:This lamp is you. Ow, hot!
Jack:My assailant was a middle-aged white man wearing a button down shirt and Dockers. Dockers! Not some drug addict or gang aficionado. His knife was from Eddie Bauer.
Jack:Please interrupt me. This is a sign. The lower classes are getting cranky about the rich earning all of their money away from them. Can't they see this is in their best interest? How could we pay their salaries without using their money?
Jack:It's the original Ghostbusters all over again.
Jack:Commissioner Kelly and I are friends. We have competing columns in Irish Arguments Weekly, America's only all-caps magazine.
Jack · Len:What do you make? 40 grand a year. But don't let the woman who's blackmailing me know that.
Jack:Despite the hundreds of dollars I pay every year in taxes.
Jack:Really, Trump? My idea is stupid? Well, you make your hair every morning by sticking your head in a cotton candy machine.
Jack:Even Tommy Hilfiger turned me down, and you'd think that he, of all people, would understand the lower classes can ruin something.
Jack:I hereby officially announce my candidacy for the office of Mayor of the city of New York. Vote for Jack Donaghy. Slogan to come.
Jack:I just registered the domain name for my campaign website... Jack-Donaghy-is-running-for-mayor-2013-new-York-this-is-the-website.com. That's as close as I could get. Everything else was already pornography.
Jack:Thank you, Kenneth. I know they're condoms.
Jack · Liz:Well, you look even closer to death than usual. What happened to you? Are you scared? The back of the 'B' train certainly was. I had the whole car to myself.
Jack · Liz:Is that your gym bag? Aren't you a human woman? It's these new microfibers. They keep you dry but it all has to go somewhere.
Jack:I've always wanted to say that, and I can't believe I've wasted it on you.
Jack:You've skied Mount St. Helens, made eye contact with Michelle Bachmann, been trapped under a Boulder for 128 hours. You're not scared of anything.
Jack:You're the only woman I could ever fight to regain my manhood.
Liz · Jack:So, are you still running for mayor? The city no longer needs me. For now.
Jack:Reminds me of us. I'll never forget the first time you dressed up like an old lady and I threw you into some garbage.
Jack:Good-bye, my love. For now.
Jack · Jack:Certainly not at a Michael's crafts crafting cruise. / Miss Lemon, you are missing out.
Jack:For instance, I am wearing a braided necklace with a shark's tooth on it. I listened to rap music for the first time. Not a fan.
Jack:Fine, I didn't wanna have to do this, but I am wearing yellow and blue.
Jack:Well, certainly you remember the joy that fills a young boy's heart on the day of leap.
Jack:Because it's an extra day to do business. A bonus profit opportunity. I have a bet with my business school roommates every four years to see who can make the most money on Leap Day.
Jack:It'll be like those Bible quotes are right in your face.
Narrator/Chyron · Jack:Following an unintentionally racist press conference... Help us to 'Whip' the competition. Kabletown shares down sharply...
Kenneth · Kenneth · Jack:Careful, sir, those leaves are poisonous. / You know the saying, 'rhubarb red, eat away, rhubarb green, don't eat them.' / Kenneth, I've watched Newt Gingrich eat a plate of ribs. I think my stomach can handle some rhubarb leaves.
Jack:Now, would you watch a television show... And I'm just spitballing here... Called Spitball?
Jack:Sherry, I'm afraid something has come up at work and you'll have to stay late with Liddy. Just dab some scotch on your neck and make your eyes the color of a winter crystal so she'll think you're me.
Jack · Kenneth:Kenneth, is that me? / I'm not Kenneth. I'm the spirit of Leap Day. Welcome to your Leap Day past.
Jack:When did we stop giving children cigarettes? It's the liberal war on Leap Day.
Jack · Kenneth:Five leap days from now. That's Liddy. I assume this is her horse stable and that she's hammering that nail as a funny joke. / No, Mr. Donaghy. She's doing Habitat for Humanity. After you missed all her leap days, she started experimenting with liberalism.
Jack · Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth, I want you to go to Citarella and buy the biggest rhubarb there is. The one that's as big as me, sir? That's the one. But first, you take Rebecca Birdstein to the vet.
Jack · Kenneth · Jack:What a Mitzvah. / Merry Leap Day, sir. / Merry Leap Day to us all!
Kenneth · Jack:All my suits are my late father's... Mr...
Jack:And I'm including making it through the '80s without having sex with Belinda Carlisle.
Jack:we can no longer use the words 'hit, great show, fun,' or 'broadcast television.'
Jack · Henry Warren:We got the contract! We're gonna make the bottles for New Coke. And I'm gonna make sure you get all the credit. Aces! Let's do some cocaine.
Jack:'Paranoid,' from the Greek 'para' meaning 'beside,' and 'noid,' which is some sort of a... Pizza demon! No, that can't be right.
Jack:Kenneth, sometimes you've gotta get your hands dirty for the good of company... And country. My two favorite kinds of music.
Jack:I haven't seen you since the 1985 G.E. talent show when I convinced you to sing Monster Mash, knowing full well that Jack Welch is terrified of monsters, and I ended your career.
Henry · Jack:What about the drive up to Pittsfield when we stopped at Sturbridge Village? Remember? We had fun. We saw a candle being made. I didn't really care about that candle, Henry. I don't even remember what color it was. Regular white-tan candle color, Jack!
Jack:Kenneth, don't do it. You can't destroy Bradley, you... innocent goon.
Jack:You're the most remarkable person I know, and I've met Jaleel White. Incredibly charismatic. He makes Stefan Urquelle look like Steve Urkel.
Jack:Like Hitler... Or Willy Wonka.
Jack:Like Hitler... Or Willy Wonka.
Jack:If you're thinking that way, then I'm... already too late.
Jack · Jenna:Kidz is a hit the whole family can watch together, not your usual sitcom crap full of gratuitous vulgarity and pratfalls. [beat] My penis!
Jack · News Anchor:Well, mark my words, Jenna, tonight is going to be the greatest. [cut] Disaster in the history of television. The young contestants apparently inebriated on live TV.
Jack:That was my angriest hug, 'cause that's how I feel right now.
Jack:I've already detained Brock and Ava under the Patriot Act. People have forgotten about that thing, but any white male can arrest any other person.
Jack:I'm a very powerful man, Brock. Little league tryouts are coming soon. How would you like to wind up on a team with... None of your friends?
Jack:Really? What a... dingbat.
Jack:That's why I hired a Cato to attack me at random. Like Inspector Clouseau.
Jack:Don't attack me tonight, okay? I know I told you that when I say 'don't attack me,' that's when I most need you to attack me, but I'm serious.
Jack · Cato:Cato attacks Jack — Jack cries 'Excellent, Cato, excellent!'
Jack:Lemon, you know very well that a Nemesis can be anyone... [cut] Or anything. Autocorrect. I was trying to say 'pen organizer.'
Jack:Surprise. I'm very good at voices, Kaylie. I'm very good.
Kaylie · Jack:My mom is in Indonesia visiting her charity where poor children make shoes. Isn't that just a sweat shop? I know!
Jack:I know what it's like not to have your parents around. I once took a log with googly eyes to a father-son picnic.
Jack · Liz:Were you a difficult teenager? Well, I was voted head of the PTA, so no.
Jack:Then on to that last bastion of the incompetent rich, USC.
Jack:Once again, Lemon, I leave your office more confused than when I entered, but having glimpsed yet another tile in the rich mosaic that is your menstrual history.
Jack · Kaylie:You told me it was the piano, and that everyone went to the King of Prussia mall. Well... [beat] I don't remember. And I'm just so emotional right now.
Dr. Melvoin · Jack:I'm sorry, how are you related to miss Hooper? I'm her Nemesis.
Jack · Dr. Melvoin:I think that this school has done everything it can for Kaylie, but the only fitting punishment... Is expulsion. It's days like this that remind me why I got into teaching in the first place.
Jack:Son of a dingbat!
Jack:What I realized too late is you were talking about Beekman Academy, right here in Manhattan, in the neighborhood north of Ware Street, otherwise known as, uh, 'Noware.'
Jack:I, uh, couldn't help but notice that lacrosse ball in your backpack. Too bad I'm on the board of the Central Park Conservancy, so Beekman won't have a field to play on next year.
Jack:Cato? Seriously, not tonight. I mean it this time. Son of a dingbat!
Jack · Tracy · Jenna:Wake up, mother-. / Die, demon! / Why didn't you ever call me back?
Jack:Unfortunately, unless Harry's Law really took off this week and no one told me, you two are the biggest stars at the network.
Jack:Don't you want to celebrate Ireland's great accomplishments, like Michael Lohan and vomiting into a bagpipe?
Jack:Well, I'm sorry we can't all belong to ethnic groups as beloved as the Germans. Please, without Germans, you wouldn't have any of the Indiana Jones movies.
Jack · Liz:After all, I am your mentor, you dated Dennis Duffy, and in the '90s, you gave money to the IRA. / I thought it was contributing to a retirement account.
Jack:Jenna thinks that Christina Aguilera lost her voice during childbirth.
Jack:You have a monopoly on wheat. But what happens if you overproduce, flood the markets? Prices drop, your economy collapses. You've got to diversify, Frank. It's basic capitalism.
Frank · Jack:Uh, unicorns? / Can you breed and sell them? There's got to be a market for unicorns. If I've learned anything from reading Liddy's princess books, unicorn hair has magical properties. You've got to know your product, Frank.
Jack:'Unicorn,' a death ray.
Jack:Don't you see what you're doing? You're creating a real estate bubble, and the only person who'll benefit is Sue, who'll buy up all the neutral land for cents on the dollar. Thanks a lot, Klootzak.
Frank · Jack:And you would presume to wield the scepter of Thalbain? / Yes. Yes, I would.
Jack · game/Frank:Ugh, three again? / And your yak... has smallpox.
Jack:Oh, really? You're cursed? Try ruling over the desert wastelands of Kroth with no spell cards.
Jack:The desert of Kroth is Kabletown. I've got to get some fresh air.
Jack · Priest:I feel helpless. Impotent. / Whoa, buy me a drink first. / Sorry, we've been instructed to keep it light.
Jack:By the scepter of Thalbain!
Jack · Frank/writers:I'd like to spend my remaining gold... to purchase a fire spell. / Against whom will you be casting this spell? / Against myself. I am setting fire to my own desert.
Jack · Frank:I'd like to spend my remaining gold to purchase a fire spell. / And against whom will you be casting this spell? / Against myself. I am setting fire to my own desert.
Jack:You see, it doesn't matter if I'm on the wind-blown dunes of Kroth or in the fluorescent-lit boardrooms of 30 Rockefeller Plaza. I will create something from nothing. Today Malaar... Tomorrow Kabletown.
Jack · Liz:Gassy Patsy walk-on contest callback — robotic voice saying 'keep the white house white'
Liz · Jack:'You know who enters these walk-on contests? Weirdos.' — followed by an essay typed on the inside of a bloody halter top
Liz · Jack:'I thought you said a man should never wear pastel unless he's a black guy on Easter.'
Jack:'I need to tone down my natural aura of strength and sexual dominance. Which wasn't going to happen with the tie I was going to wear.'
Jack · Liz:'Amnesty International is nothing but a company that makes and sells candles. That explains all the vigils. That is a good scam.'
Jack:Matt Lauer's band: 'Rhythm and News' — 'It's blues rock, Lemon.'
Matt Lauer (implied) · Jack:Mine collapse in China — all miners are babies paid in yogurt; puppies lowered to bring supplies
Jack:'Remember when we used to be the world leader in baby cuteness? I can't compete with that.'
Jack:'Yes, I didn't expect you to play for four hours.' (re: Matt Lauer's band, after four hours of blues rock)
Jack:Jack calls CNN's Wolf Blitzer: 'Either CNN gets back on the Avery Jessup story, or I'll tell everyone your real name, Steel Hammerhands.'
Jack:Jack hangs up, then tries calling back: 'Hello? Steel? Mr. Hammerhands?'
Jenna · Jack:Jenna asks Jack to hire a giant to stand in every scene she's in to make her look daintier — 'It's why Lamar Odom married that giant Kardashian girl.'
Jack:Jack's fantasy of Avery returning: 'I'm home, Jack. And I brought back a bunch of oriental sex powders.'
Jenna · Jack:'Oxygen is already working on a movie about the baby miners.' / 'Then we'll have to slow them down. Gabriel... send a bunch of pies to the Oxygen network.'
Jack:Wardrobe scene: Jack dresses up as Gabriel the PA — 'No wigs. I said no wigs. You're not a lead, Gabe. At best, you're a featured extra with no lines.'
Jack · Liz:'I would consider it a personal favor after six years of listening to you complain about how there are so few women on death row.' / 'Is it a coincidence, or is the system sexist?'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'Oh! Speaking of our amazing dynamic, I have taken on a mentee of my own, Jack — a page named Hazel.' Jack: 'You're a mentor? But that makes me a grand-mentor. And I'm still so young.'
Jack:Jack reveals he let Liz fail at the Apollo: 'Sometimes, they have to learn the hard way. If Hazel rejects your advice, let her. She'll get there on her own just like you did after the crowd at the Apollo chased you into the river.'
Jenna · Jack:Jenna tries to play Avery by sneaking into Jack's office pretending to be her — 'No, don't turn on the light.'
Jack:Jack: 'Jenna, there are many kinds of intelligence. Practical, emotional, and there's actual intelligence, which is what I'm talking about.'
Jack:'Let's set aside how idiotic that plan was and imagine a world where it actually worked.'
Liz · Jack:Contest winner is 'Joren van der Sloot' — 'We can't fly someone from Peru now.'
Jack · Jenna:'The second cruelest thing anyone has ever done to me.' / 'When I went to the bathroom on the hood of your car before I thought of this plan?'
Jack:Jack: 'Avery had me committed to a mental hospital so she and her college roommate could use my Yankee tickets on opening day.'
Jack · Jenna:Jack concludes Jenna has 'Avery's essence' — 'the ruthless pursuit of self-interest. It's the heart of capitalism. And the beautiful black heart of my wife.' — then congratulates Jenna and she accepts 'the part.'
Liz · Jack:'That was a real commercial for an erectile dysfunction drug.' / Jack: 'Well, I laughed.'
Jack:'That's how the banking industry learned its lesson. And now they're doing amazing, and everyone's honest.'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'Why aren't there more female serial killers? What does that say about our society—' Jack: 'Liz!'
Jack:Jack looks at Liz warmly after Hazel leaves: 'I'm your grand-mentor. Liz?' — she's gone. He looks at the empty space: 'She's beautiful.'
Jack:My greatest weakness is humility. I'm probably the most humble person in the whole world.
Jack:What three words best describe me? The. Complete. Package.
Jack:My greatest weakness... Is chocolate.
Jack · Pete:Your evaluation gave me pause. Are you sure? Those look like hands to me.
Jack:What if Alexander windowblinds had said, 'no, I don't want to partially see outside'?
Jack:George W. Bush, during his 'let's do coke and buy the Texas Rangers' phase. But he made a decision to be the best president ever and then he was.
Pete · Jack:Including the one that looked like a terrified Asian man? It was a different time, Pete.
Jack:It's the first sport man ever invented. Except of course, uh, hide and seek. Shh.
Jack · Pete:A man who, years ago, was on top of the world, who saw Paula and dragged her back to his cave. Actually she took me that first night.
Jack · Pete:For God's sake, Hornberger, the dummy is winning! Why are you kissing it? I'm submitting to its strength. It's the Alpha.
Jack:Orville Redenbacher. Corn is not the only thing he popped, if you know what I mean.
Jack:Great men like Richard Nixon, the 1980 Olympic hockey team, my good friend John Rambo.
Jack · Pete:Your life is tied to the fate of the ring. It must be destroyed. Are you quoting Lord of the Rings? No, I'm quoting myself talking to Bruce Willis.
Jack:Lemon, I invented business mumbling. You white garbage bag full of pudding.
Jack:Sorkinesque Repartee.
Jack:I never should have told you how to live your life like some sort of American Barack Obama.
Pete · Jack:Do you know what was under my hair? A birthmark. It looks like a swastika made out of penises.
Jack · Pete:Jack: 'Congratulations, I knew I'd make a man out of you.' / Pete: 'Get out!' / Jack: 'There's the confidence. / Please, just leave.' / Jack: 'Pete, you're welcome.'
Jack · Pete:Congratulations, I knew I'd make a man out of you. Get out! There's the confidence. Please, just leave. Pete, you're welcome.
Jack:Jack's Kouchtown couch commercial monologue: 'This country's taken some hits lately... we sit down on a couch, an American couch... a Kouchtown couch.'
Jack:They came from a rich white guy. We have been creating and solving this country's problems for 200 years. Where's our history month?
Jack:Which costs... I don't know, $90 a gallon?
Jack:I'm meeting with the vendors tomorrow, Raymour and his conjoined twin, Flanigan.
Jack:Ashley of Ashley furniture will be there, and he is a genitally androgynous pinhead.
Jack:Nixon's been dead almost 20 years, not in cryogenic hibernation, resting up for 2016.
Jack · Liz:Wow, you two are really nesting. Yeah, all that's missing is the joint answering machine message. I'm thinking Sonny and... Cher.
Jack:Kevin Garnett helped me move once. / Kevin Costner cooked me dinner after a bad breakup. / Kevin Sorbo introduced me to his podiatrist.
Jack:During world war II, the Bazooka Joe corporation used a softer version of their gum to make armor-piercing bullets — here. Years later, the government took it over. They turned it into a training facility for single mothers to teach illegal immigrants how to fill out unemployment forms. But then we took it back.
Jack:Ah, good morning, fellow patriots. Keep voting republican. We've got your back.
Jack · Stewart:Good God! / Looks more like the prototype than most things in this world.
Jack · Stewart:We have 10,000 of these? / I wouldn't know. I'm not a math guy, really.
Jack:What did Theodore 'Bazooka' Joe do when his eccentric millionaire father left him nothing but a tiny pink rock quarry? He baked those rocks and sold them to children. As gum.
Jack:When did we get so soft? You know what this country used to sit on? Logs. Girders. Poles.
Jack:Kouchtown. Sit down or get out of the way.
Liz · Jack:Help, I can't move. / Tell me, can you even look at the television? / I can see the floor. I can see the veins behind my eyes. Oh! I can see pain!
Jack:The design forces the sitter into what Israeli military interrogators call a stress position. It cuts off circulation to the legs while simultaneously spreading out the ribcage, making it difficult to breathe while the body begs for oxygenated blood.
Jack:It comes in espresso, dandelion, putty, and, as you see here, lagoon.
Jack:If I blow this, Hank Hooper will never give me another shot. I'll spend the rest of my career behind this desk trying to lure Alf back to television.
Jack:You look like a substitute teacher who just got her one-year A.A. chip.
Jack:Greetings, gentlemen and female eunuchs of the furniture industry.
Jack:Jack sits in the torture couch during the vendor pitch and begins confessing. 'I hate golf. One time in college, I smoked a clove cigarette. I keep buying candles as gifts and keeping them for myself. My natural hair color is bright red.'
Jack · Kenneth:You know, that's exactly what you'll do. / Okay. / And will you accept dancing as money? / Kenneth. / Drag me to my office.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, how did your date go? / It was amazing, but not in the way that you would expect. / Cat's a great kid, isn't she? / You really thought I'd set you up with Kevin? I've been trying to fire him ever since he invited me out on a Halloween party bus.
Liz · Jack:So you set me up on a play date? / I thought Cat would remind you why you purchased the princess Leia costume in the first place. Don't give it away just yet.
Jack:Your country needs a few more Liz Lemons... I don't care if you join the Big Sisters and torture inner-city girls about punctuation. Any amount of Lemon is better than the crap we're turning out lately.
Jack:I don't care if you join the Big Sisters and torture inner-city girls about punctuation.
Liz · Jack · Kenneth:Wait, you sold them? To whom? / I just had to find a buyer who has too much money and loves to waste it. So every defective sofa that Kouchtown makes will be purchased by your beloved tax-and-spend government. / What are they going to do with them? / Sink them and make a reef to protect gay turtles? I don't know, lemon, and I don't care.
Jack:When did gum get so soft, you sons of bitches? You know what this country used to chew? Tree bark. Glass. Shotgun shells. The broken swords of our vanquished enemies.
Jack:When did gum get so soft, you sons of bitches? You know what this country used to chew? Tree bark. Glass. Shotgun shells. The broken swords of our vanquished enemies.
Jack:Life is hard. Shouldn't everything else be harder? Bazooka Joe gum!
Jack:That's why I buy Bazooka Joe gum. It's like chewing a mountain that someone shot a freeze ray into.
Jack:Jack mocks the enthusiasm for live TV by sarcastically addressing an imaginary crowd: 'Here in the greatest city on earth, New York City, baby? Whassup?'
Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth convenes a meeting invoking '12 Angry Men'; Jack dismisses it: '11 decent Americans are swayed by Jane Fonda's father?'
Jack:Jack: 'I've frankly lost track of what you were trying to convince us of with these detailed descriptions of TV shows.'
Jack · Kenneth:Jack: 'Times change. Television replaced radio. Cars replaced horses.' / Kenneth: 'Not where I'm from.' / Jack: 'Are you telling me the mayor of your hometown is a car? Pretty weird.'
Tracy · Jack:Tracy: 'That was when I realized I was a ridiculous man.' / Jack: 'Tracy, I was there. As a lower-level GE employee, I was answering phones at that telethon. When you took off your clothes, they cut to the phone banks.'
Jack · Prank Caller:Young Jack's prank call: Woman pretends General Electric is a person named General Electric and that she's the mother of his child ('Toby Electric'), escalating to Jack screaming: 'I will roast you alive in an oven I design myself, using two, no, three kinds of heat.'
Liz · Jack:Jack: 'Watching you get all red-faced on TV... that was the night I found my calling. Sticking it to the man.' / Jack: 'You know what? That night changed my life, too. Don Geiss saw my loyalty/handsomeness and the next day he promoted me out of poisons and into microwaves.'
Jack:Jack announces TGS will remain live via product placement deal: 'We'll do more sponsor product placements — you should do it with the upcoming Warner Brothers movie Rock of Ages, based on the hit Broadway musical. Rocking a theater near you June 15th. Tom Cruise sings.' / 'Or I'll just pay you all less.'
Jack · Kenneth:The show is saved via a product placement deal for the Warner Brothers movie 'Rock of Ages': 'Tom Cruise sings.' Kenneth reads it aloud; Jack adds 'Or I'll just pay you all less.'
Jack:Or I'll just pay you all less.
Jack · Jenna:After the public proposal refusal goes viral, Jack notes: 'Wow. 2.5 million people just saw that.' [Beat] 'And now 14 million people saw it.' Jenna: 'You're welcome. Oh, and also I broke your toilet.'
Jack:Jack answers the phone 'Hello, Angie... I mean, hello, whoever it is going to be.'
Jack · Angie:Jack calls Angie's fashion line 'Cheek' and she corrects him: 'It's pronounced chic. It's French.'
Jack · Sam Lockwood:The prisoner swap includes 'a crate of Hollister sweatshirts and a signed headshot of Don Johnson.'
Jack:'They just got Nash Bridges.'
Jack:Jack corrects himself from 'gays' to 'guys' at Bravo: 'your guys at Bravo... excuse me, gays at Bravo'
Jack:Clinton and Steve Bing's 'sex plane' — 'It is a sex plane. There aren't even any seats. It's just futons and jacuzzis.'
Jack · D'Fwan:'D'Fwan's boutique wine, D'Fwine.' / 'D'Fwine. Please d'fwink responsibly.'
Diana · Jack:Diana tells Jack they shouldn't tell Avery 'about us' — and Jack's stunned reaction beat to the cameras.
Jack:Jack's elaborate talking head explanation of 'Gus' — 'Gus is someone I've gone into business with and Avery wouldn't approve. Why would she disapprove? Because they dated... at Yale. Gus was a professor.'
Jack · Gus:Jack introduces Gus to the cameras: 'Why are you wearing the hat I asked you not to wear anymore to our meetings?' / Gus: 'We're higher up here, so the sun's electricity is stronger.'
Jack:Jack's meeting summary: 'Let's go over the numbers, Gus. The numbers look pretty good. We're under budget and in line with projections. Great, well, meeting over. You probably shouldn't have even filmed that, it was so boring.'
Diana · Jack:The Gus/Rus/business-partner/chef/Yale-professor tangle: 'He is the chef.' / 'As I mentioned, he's a professor at Yale.' / 'Which is funny because he looks so much more like a chef.' / 'What's funniest is that he's both.'
Jack:'I've gotta pick up Yakov Smirnov at the airport.'
Jack · Kenneth:Kenneth greets Liz and Jack at Rus: 'That's a sharp look, Kenneth.' / 'Thank you, sir, but I can't take all the credit. Everything I know about fashion, I learned from my old college roommate, John Mark Karr.'
Diana · Jack · Liz:Diana to Liz: 'That was nothing. I mean, Jack's like that with everybody. He's a kisser. Right, Jack?' / Jack: 'Uh, of course. Uh, it's European. If you don't kiss someone, they're offended.'
Jack · D'Fwan:Jack's dismissal: 'Very good, nice seeing you, Lemon.' / D'Fwan: 'Jack, D'Fwan hasn't said hi yet.'
Jack:There is an iPod 3 and a Mitt Romney 4. They worked all the bugs out. He's not killing hobos at night any more.
Jack:And tomorrow, I am going to throw you a Thanks-Christmas-Valen-Easter-Ween of July party.
Avery · Jack:Avery offers blanket forgiveness for anything Jack did while she was gone — Jack's awkward long pause before accepting it.
Jack:That woman does not forgive. She's still furious with Al Gore for stealing George Bush's idea to have an Internet.
Liz · Jack:Okay, first of all, I don't know what you count as cheating, but she was forced to marry someone else. Kim Jong-Un, Lemon. Have you seen news footage of that man? I have so many missile! I even have nuclear missile. Just for you, sugarprong.
Jack · Liz:The game is afoot! / No. She's been back for, like, six hours. Maybe take a little time, let things get back to normal. / Playing psycho-sexual mind games is our normal, Lemon.
Jack · Liz:So, Lemon, I took your advice and used my transgression with Diana as a weapon to interrogate Avery, just as you suggested. / That is not what I suggested. / You just hear what you want to hear. / Thank you. They're from Italy.
Jack:Drop a grenade in that bunker, like Jim Brown in The Dirty Dozen. Enjoy your party, Nazis!
Jack:God, she's good. This kind of gamesmanship is why I love her. She has the brain of a man, and the ass of a French teenager.
Jack · Avery · Liz:I do, Lemon. I wear the pants. / Nice pants, Avery. / And, Liz, good to see you. Your hair's the same. / It's not. Actually, something terrible happened.
Jack · Liz:You know what, I'll just read some US Weeklies. / Thank you, Lemon. / But it's an hour long, like you wanted. / Thank you.
Jack · Mayor Bloomberg:No, I think it's a very cool costume, mayor Bloomberg. Tonight, I'm mayor Booo-mberg. Yes, I think you've mentioned that. Booo... booo...
Jack:How about this? A few months ago, Liddy broke into the gun safe and shot up your gift-wrapping room. / I did wear your nightgowns. Not to feel you near, they're just comfortable. / I had an erotic dream about an adult Dora the Explorer.
Jack:I took her on a balcony in Madrid, above the Plaza Mayor. She had flowers in her hair.
Jack · Liz:Lemon, didn't you get ordained online and perform a lesbian wedding last summer? / Yes, I married Becky and Dee because love is love and there's no reason they shouldn't experience the joy of marriage like any other couple. / I'm not going to the container store. This is my Saturday.
Jack:You just turned into your father.
Jack:I suppose our situation is most reminiscent of 'The Commodore's Lust' from the 'Patriot's After Dark' series.
Liz · Jack:I get your Yankees tickets on A-Rod bobblehead day. / And I'm gonna throw that thing in front of a train. / Go Phillies!
Jack · Avery:Ah, so... How was your day? [Long pause — 07 seconds until next line]
Jack:You love wet feet?
Jack · Avery:"I miss you at night. I think about you all the time. I couldn't get through this without you. Check out Kim Jong-Un's pants. Where's the flood?"
Jack · Avery:[Raises voice] I'm not even angry anymore! / Nor am I! / Do you wanna watch Downton Abbey tonight? / I'd love to! Maggie Smith is a treasure!
Jack:To quote George W. Bush, Lemon, 'bring 'em on.' / He said that to me in Galveston when a busload of drunk debutantes tried to get on his boat. It was named 'Mr. Water Boat.' / Did it sink? Yes. Because there were too many people on it. But the spirit of his words lives on.
Jack · Avery:I forgot about the TV movie that whitewashed our love story. / I was dating another woman. / And I wasn't ready to get married. / Both: We only did it because... / She was pregnant. / I was pregnant.
Jack · Avery:The only thing you're bad at is quitting. I kept my sea monkeys alive for 30 years.
Jack · Avery:I'll always care for you. / We'll split assets and custody equally. / I'll take our friends 'A' through 'L.' / You'll get 'M' through 'Z.' / Liz, divorce us.
Liz · Jack · Avery:By the power vested in me by the website instaminister.Estonia, I now pronounce you divorced. / [Laughing] Yeah! Divorce! Whoo!
Jack:It's the remote control holder you wanted from SkyMall.
Liz · Jack:Because we are thinking about having a baby... Together... That will emerge from my vagina. / Or a Chinese vagina. / Okay.
Jack:I've been, uh... Divorced... twice. Engaged two other times. I'm... a mess.
Jack:But any child would be lucky to have you be the mother it loves then hates for a few years, then loves again, then half-heartedly defends to its spouse, then puts in a home.
Jack:If you decide to have a child, you are going to make an excellent mother... as long as you follow Jack Donaghy's 25 Pillars of Motherhood. Number one: don't overthink the names. Stick to Kings and Queens of England. There will never be a President Ashton or a Dr. Katniss. Or a non-sexually confused Lorne.
Jack:After all these years, I finally have it all. / I'm gonna miss this place. / That's how you do it. It's two lines.
Liz · Jack:Well, I feel like New York City is one of the characters on our show. / That's idiotic.
Jack · Liz:So, how was your hiatus? Start with what puzzles you did. / Venice. Solar system. Unicorn. / The cast of 'L.A. Law'. / That one took me awhile. So much white.
Liz · Jack:We are... trying. / Oh, really, Lemon? You can't even say 'trying'? / What positions are you using? / The one. There's only one. Talk about something else.
Jack:And my divorce went smoothly. In fact, thanks to a round of golf with Archbishop Dolan, I was never married.
Jack:Liddy won a bronze in Horsey-Jumpy at the Baby Olympics.
Jack:If you're tired of sexy vampires, then you'll love 'Hunchbacks', starring Jonathan Silverman as Dr. Fantastico.
Jack:And do you like the information channel you get when you stay in a hotel? Well, Thursdays is just that now.
Jonathan · Jack:My grandmother was seriously ill. I went to Salinas to feed and bathe her. / I'm sorry. / I still don't like you.
Jack:'God Cop.' Crime just got a new worst friend.
Liz · Jack:So, God just tells him who did it? / God can't just tell him who did it. / Why not? / Watch the pilot, Lemon. It's all explained in the end by the wise black man played by Karl Malone.
Jack · Liz:It's a two-man fishing boat. / I believe that is called a skiff. / I will not have you telling me boat names in my own office!
Jack · Liz:That's where shows like 'God Cop', 'O.J. Simpson Live', and 'Rule of Threes' come in. / Oh, brother. / 'Oh, Brother'. A comedy about two jive-talking con men hiding out in a monastery.
Jack:Jonathan, bring me my green light.
Jack · Frank:Frank, you do stand-up. How would you like to have your own sitcom? / Can I have a hot wife? / If you gain 50 pounds. / Yeah.
unnamed writer · Jack:Hey! I have an idea for a show. It's about a boy who befriends a talking panda, and they're allowed to sleep in the same bed. / Have it on my desk tomorrow.
Liz · Jack:I know you think fixing NBC is just another negative synergy dynamics matrix. / I wish. Then I could just solve it with the Schwartzfeld Tesseract.
Jack · Liz:Every day I wish some other company had bought NBC. Xerox, Alcoa, PAAS. / The Easter egg company? / They own their market. When was the last time you bought a non-PAAS egg-dyeing kit? Try never. PAAS is the best. Their wire egg-dipper is tops in the industry with the thinnest egg-loop to reduce dye lines.
Jack · Liz:Well, thank you for your feedback, Lemon, but I'm not panicking. I know exactly what I'm doing. / So, good peacock to you. / But, Jack... / I said, 'Good peacock.'
Tracy · Jack:Yes, and I thought we'd have a little féte chez nous ce soir. / Oh, how nice to meet a woman who speaks the language of the Nazis' most enthusiastic collaborators. What a kind invitation.
Jack:I do enjoy seeing the homes of poor whites.
Jack · Tracy:Kenneth tells me that you started your own movie studio this summer. / Yes, I'm sort of the black Tyler Perry.
Liz · Jack:I know what you're doing, Jack. You are purposely tanking the network. / Good God, Lemon, what is it with you liberals and your conspiracy theories? I've got bad news for you. The CIA did not invent crack cocaine, the levees blew themselves up in New Orleans, and no one is trying to destroy NBC.
Liz · Jack:Hang on. Did you cast yourself in this show? / What can I say? We saw hundreds of actors for God. Finally the network executive said I should just play him. / You're the network executive.
Jack:Fine. You got me. I'm steering the Titanic into the iceberg.
Jack · Liz:I have an investor lined up who will buy the network and keep me in charge. I can't tell you who it is, but his word is as good as the color consistency on one of his Easter eggs. / Adolf Paas?
Jack:Lemon, I cannot go to another business-school reunion and sit at the non-CEO table with the... women and nice men.
Jack:Or what my good friend Bane tried to do to Gotham. / Join me, Lemon. Help me tank NBC.
Liz · Jack · Production Assistant:Never. / You're playing with people's lives here. Who do you think you are? / God? We're ready for you.
Jack · Liz:I know you doubted me, but now you see my plan can work. So, what do you say? Are you on board, Liz? / You just called me 'Liz'! / We can fix that in the cutting room.
Liz · Jack:Sometimes tanking it is the only option. What did you do, fake a sprained ankle to get out of that breast health 5K? / No, I did that. I forgot my sports bra, so, ironically -- / It doesn't matter, Lemon.
Liz · Jack:Jack, it's 9:30 in the morning. / We're not trying to do a good job here, Lemon.
Jack · Liz:Were you just skyping with a horse? Not 'a horse,' Lemon. Rafalca, Mitt Romney's champion dressage mare.
Jack:She answers yes or no questions by eating either an apple for 'yes,' or a carrot for 'no.' If she eats both, that means 'life is full of unknowable gray areas.'
Jack · Liz:Paul Ryan dropped out of the race last night. What? Why? Turns out he was actually born in Kenya.
Jack:Sunday Night Football is just Cleveland Browns games. I'm allowing Jimmy Fallon to use his real voice. And the greatest band in late night, The Roots.
Jack · Liz:Last week's show was excruciating. Thank you.
Jack:Hang on. I'm caught on a nail here. [Extended pause] Okay, now we can continue.
Jack:In order to save this network, I have to destroy it. Just like BP did when they heroically tried to lubricate the Gulf of Mexico.
Jack:I'm caught on a nail here. Caught on a nail. (Repeated callback)
Liz · Jack:You're supposed to say 'brava' to a woman. Oh, I am well aware of that.
Jack:This is a disaster. Ratings are up. And now, during the election, Hank Hooper wants TGS on five nights a week, starting tonight.
Jack:You are un-terriblizing this network.
Jack · Liz:That's the sound of honey boo boos piling up on your TiVo. No!
Jack:Oh, but how could you? He's so amazing. He rides the train.
Jack · Cooter Berger:Is that red wine with tonic water and olives in it? Yep. It's an old Spanish. Is that not a thing? Oh, the guys at the office told me it was a cool drink. I'm always getting pranked.
Jack · Cooter:Cooter, this is a puffy frog with googly eyes. Oh, no. I've been handing those out all day.
Liz · Jack:You convinced me. You win. You think I'm an idiot? I didn't win that argument. I'm an idiot.
Jack:And if he doesn't sell, I'll spend the rest of my career in corporate obscurity, like a woman with children.
Jack:You stop doing Dunston, TGS goes back to one night a week. You can kiss goodbye your Dusseldorf bus schedule sex. You'll be having Paris Metro sex. Long sessions of afternoon love-making, followed by talking and making circles with your finger in Criss' chest hair.
Jack:Jack admits he is on a walk of shame while wearing a flashy 'night tie' and disheveled hair
Liz · Jack:Liz calls Jack a slut, then immediately corrects herself: 'That woman was Pizzarina Sbarro, the heiress to the Sbarro Slice and Calzone Fortune.'
Liz · Jack:Liz stayed up all night helping Bradley finish 'the Joseph coat.' Jack: 'Just hearing that story tells me that Bradley was gay.' Liz: 'Only sexually.'
Liz · Jack:Liz describes her new sexual awakening as happening 'in her bathing suit area'; Jack responds: 'Lemon, I've seen your bathing suits. That could be anywhere.'
Jack:Jack describes his diverse dating portfolio using The Great Escape as the framework: 'Bronson was the brawn, Attenborough was the brains, Garner was the scrounger, McQueen was the hottie with the body.'
Jack:Jack describes his rotation: Zarina (society girl), Anne (politics), Tabitha (works the DVR), and 'Mindy is my, uh, sex idiot.'
Jack:Jack imagines his women fighting: 'And if they did come to blows, it would be, uh... Intensely erotic. Like, uh, Steve McQueen on a motorcycle. Trying to jump that fence into Switzerland, but it's too high.' Beat. 'He had a leather jacket.'
Jack · Zarina · Mindy:Oh... Zarina, hello. Jack. Uh, this is Mindy. Mindy, Zarina. / Oh, shiny.
Jack:Jack compares himself to 'a silver-backed gorilla or Mitt Romney's grandfather' to explain why he needs multiple women
Jack:'The woman appears to have no hip joints.'
Jack · Zarina · Ryan · Mindy:Zarina's boyfriend Ryan arrives. Jack: 'Ryan.' Ryan: 'What's up?' Mindy: 'Ryan is my sex idiot.'
Jack · Zarina:Zarina tells Jack she understands the arrangement. Jack: 'My generation calls it pokemoning. Gotta catch 'em all.' Zarina reveals she's doing the same. Jack: 'The plural of Pokemon is Pokemon.'
Mindy · Jack:Mindy snaps out of her daze when Ryan waves car keys: 'No, Ryan Lochte! Look at me... focus.' [jingling car keys]
Jack · Liz:Jack is bothered by Zarina pokemoning him. Liz: 'I've seen that look before. When Jack Welch called you Rick.' Jack: 'And I was fine with that too. I mean, he and I had met only, like, a million times.'
Jack · Liz:Jack reasons he shouldn't engage with Tracy's women-aren't-funny debate: 'I would love to keep arguing with Tracy about whether women are funnier than monkeys.' Liz: 'I once saw a monkey in a cowboy outfit.' Jack: 'I would love to see the town he's the sheriff of.'
Liz · Jack:Liz celebrates her sex-positive growth: 'We did it in the shower. My shoes got ruined.' Jack: 'I said no!'
Jack:Jack receives Zarina's group text and obsesses: 'Sweetie. Why didn't she write "Thinking of you, Jackie-bear"? She could have written this to anyone.'
Jonathan · Jack:Jonathan shows Jack the group email recipient list: 'hip420@brooklyn.beard', 'ryunloktee... misspelled... @swimteam.org', 'kentremendous@fremulon.biz'
Jack:'totalpackage58... Wait, that's me.'
Jack:I don't care if it takes all day. I want you to teach me how to copy all of those email addresses and paste them into a new email.
Jack · Various:Jack assembles Zarina's men: the sex idiot, the filthy hippie, someone to make parents angry ('It's 2012, sorry Norbert'), the mean Wall Street type, and then Ken Tremendous — revealed as the father figure.
Jack:Jack explains: 'Except the father figure. Where is that guy, am I right? The one who falls asleep at the opera, and doesn't notice that she's texting her real boyfriend from his bed. Where's that sucker?' [Long pause. Jack realizes.] 'Oh no... Is it me?'
Jack:Jack: 'Is that the only building that you flash? Or do you also flash the Time Warner Center to make the Empire State Building feel like an old fool?'
Jack · Jenna:Jack: 'Do you really want this girl asking you to go hear her friend DJ in Brooklyn?' Jenna: 'No, that sounds exhausting.' 'Do you want to drive five hours to go rock climbing with her, and be expected to have sex after?' 'I do not. I mean, my back.'
Jack:Jack: 'I do like soup.'
Jack:And Ed Begley Jr. wasn't available, because the sail on his car broke.
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'Going somewhere, Lemon?' Liz: 'Nothing. Dammit!'
Jack · Liz · Jack:'This country needs Mitt Romney.' / 'Like it needs a hole in the head!' / 'A head has five holes, and they are all needed.'
Liz · Jenna · Jack · Liz:'Like debate?' / 'Like DeBarge? I love DeBarge!' / 'No, Jenna, I said --' / 'I love DeBarge too, Jenna.' / 'Point, Jack.'
Jack:Jack: 'I agree. You're the one using negative words like "without" and "negative".'
Jack · Liz:The attack ad: 'In 2011, Liz said, "I hope Adele's voice recovers from her polyps." The same polyps Jenna had prayed for.'
Jack:'Liz Lemon. Wrong on cuteness. Wrong on other bitches. Wrong for Jenna.'
Jack:'Research indicates that ad is polling quite well with both manic and depressive Jenna.'
Jack:'She's a slut monster, and one of gay America's top hags.'
Jack:'She's aging, mean and rich. That sounds Republican to me.'
Jack · Liz:'Seven years I've been mentoring you, and I haven't been able to move you an inch.' / 'Herstrionics!'
Jack:Jack: 'Yet you persist in this impotent emotional weltanschauung.'
Jack · Liz:'Good God, Lemon! Enough with the histrionics! / Herstrionics!'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'So maybe you should let me rub off on you!' Jack: 'You wish, you pervert.'
Liz · Jenna · Jack:Jack's Republican celebrity list: 'We have the coolest celebrities. Scarlett Johansson. Blake Lively. Jessica Biel --' [Jenna is impressed] / 'Wow. Those are all very beautiful women. Do you really want to be photographed next to them?'
Jack · Liz:Jack's Republican celebrity counter-list: 'Craig T. Nelson, Chuck Norris, and Charlton Heston's skull.' / 'You'd be the only cool Republican.'
Jack:Jack claims to own a Fuddrucker's with Scottie Pippen and says Liz 'looks like' Scottie Pippen
Jack:Jack's closing argument is complete incoherent political word salad: 'When our founding fathers first set out, time and time again, our nation horizon... prosperity... dreams... freedom. But the spirit... journey... destiny. Mitt Romney values. Jenna values. I've met people. For this generation and generations to come. Thank you, America.'
Jack:'Good God, those are load-bearing balloons! Everyone, run for your lives!'
Liz · Jack:Jack: 'How do you sleep at night, Jack?' / Jack: 'I don't. I take thousands of micronaps during the day.'
Jack:'To be perfectly honest, I don't like Mitt Romney. The man doesn't drink. How does he let a moment land?'
Jack · Liz:Jack's childhood flashback: 'Boston. 1968. Latah, Mah! I'm goin' down the pahk to play ball! I sure love Americer! Almost as much as I love chowdah --'
Jack:Jack: 'Lemon, this kind of sentimental nonsense didn't work with Jenna. It certainly won't work with a man who didn't cry at "Field of Dreams", not even when the bank failed to recoup its investment in the farm.'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'Fine. Enjoy your president. I'm moving to France!' / Jack: 'But you can't get a decent iced tea there. Forget it!'
Jack · Jenna:Jack: 'Mitt. It stands for Motorized Intelligent Technodrome Termina --' / [interrupted] 'It's a human's name.'
Young entrepreneur girl · Jack:'No, my role model is Sara Blakely, the billionaire founder of Spanx. She's a genius. It's just kids' bike shorts for fatties!'
Jack:'When I was a boy, I used to go to Fenway and sell my urine... for fans to throw at Mickey Mantle.'
Jack:Jack: 'Voters don't really pick the president. That's up to important people like corporations and celebrities.' / [earnestly] 'This year Jenna Maroney's picking the president.'
Young girl · Jack:Girl decides to abandon business school savings for implants to be like Jenna: 'If I stop saving for business school and started saving for implants, I could be just like her. Thanks, sir!'
Liz · Jack:Liz: 'I stole a page from your playbook, Jack. I used Tracy. I committed cyber crime. I got Jenna kicked off Twitter before she could endorse Romney.' / Jack: 'Deviousness? I guess two can play at that game. Just like most games.'
Jack · Liz:Jack: 'You sentimental, self-righteous, badger-faced shrew.' / Liz: 'Typical Lemon. You cynical, manipulative, cold-blooded Adonis.'
Jack:Jack: 'Why am I suddenly an object of derision in your community? I've championed diversity on NBC. I mean, we've got football. That's pretty black, right?'
Jack:'Gabe, Google: Jack Donaghy and black laughter.'
Jack:Jack watching Liz shuffle away: 'Delightful... Charlie Chaplin. You have the moustache and everything.'
Jack:Jack: 'A foot illness or fell running for food?' — diagnosing why Liz is limping.
Jack:Jack: 'After all I've done for you... I've brought you back from the dead and revived your career. And this is how you thank me? You will respect me. And you will respect these boobies.'
Jack:Jack: 'I want every DVD of this movie removed from stores, burned, and melted into a statue of you apologizing to me.'
Jack:Jack: 'The only statue that movie will be turned into is an N.A.A.C.P. shame award.'
Jack:Jack's counter-response: 'I will not have you talk to me like I'm some kind of Liz Lemon.'
Tracy · Jack:Tracy: 'Typical Jack Donaghy, giving me no respect. I'm the CEO of my own company. I'm rich. I'm just like you!' / Jack: 'Just like me? I went to Princeton. I neglected a tiger. I'm on the board of the New York Philharmonic.'
Jack · Tracy:Jack: 'Think about that during your five-night appearance on Watch What Happens Live.' / Tracy: 'No! Andy Cohen is so catty!'
Hazel · Jack · Liz:Hazel performing as Liz's assistant: intercepting Jack on the intercom — 'Get off this channel! This is a military frequency.' / Jack: 'Jack Donaghy to see Liz Lemon.' / Hazel: 'A Mr. Donaghy here for you.' / Liz: 'You can go in.'
Jack:He ruined a wonderful evening at the Philharmonic, paying them to play the same song over and over again for hours. ♪ I can't remember... I can't remember what it was.
Jack:Jack describing Tracy's philharmonic revenge: 'He ruined a wonderful evening at the Philharmonic, paying them to play the same song over and over again for hours. ♪ I can't remember... I can't remember what it was ♪'
Jack:Jack compares letting go of the feud to 'using Mick Jagger to lure Roger McGuinn and David Crosby to my birthday party.'
Jack:Jack: 'War's my favorite card game. And I win about half the time.'
Jack · Tracy:I'm gonna take every Penny you have. / Not the ones I've swallowed.
Jack:Jack admits to cancelling Tracy's 'Uncle Tracy's Black Teletubbies Rip-off' because 'like you, it was overly sexual and impossible to understand.'
Jack · Tracy's Lawyer:Jack: 'When have I ever verbally accosted an old woman in a wheelchair?' / 'Liz Lemon, 20 minutes ago.'
Jack:Jack: 'Checkmate. Game, set, match. Rumbledy-goo... which is what you say when you win in polo.'
Tracy · Jack:Tracy's genius trap: donating Aunt Phatso movie profits to the orphanage so that shutting down the movie ACTUALLY closes the orphanage — the movie IS libelous because Jack would close an orphanage.
Jack · Tracy:Jack: 'That's... genius.' / Tracy: 'You win, Tracy. You bested Jack Donaghy. Now you finally respect me. And that's all I ever wanted.'
Jack:Jack: 'Great Caesar's ghost!' — reacting to movie-Jack's advance on Aunt Phatso.
Jack:Jack: 'Hm. Our thing sure is playing out just like the movie.'
Jack:Jack: 'Don't ask me. Tracy's the genius here.'
Liz · Jack · Liz:You know who else was married? Ted Bundy. / I don't think so, Liz. / Really? He's so handsome.
Terry · Jack:'Top Gun'-style. / Jenna Maroney, you are my slave.
Terry · Jack:No, do you remember in 1994 you made a commercial for Surge Cola? For 100 Surge points, I got these shades! / Oh, yeah? For 500 Surge points, I got this leather jacket!
Jack:Well, you do have the wind-battered face of a New England cod fisherman, if that's what you're asking.
Jack:To Criss, right? This isn't one of those Internet marriage scams where they prey on the elderly?
Liz · Jack:Oh, my God. This is the best hug I've ever had. / I know.
Jack:I'll get Tony Bennett to sing. I saved his life at an illegal pai gow game once. He owes me a favor.
Jack · Liz's Mom:I remember when Bravo used to air operas. / I reject the wedding industry's phallocentric fairy tale grotesquerie!
Jack:Oh, for God's sakes, Lemon, don't take a stand about your own wedding. Think about that kid you're trying to adopt. What will you tell him if he asks to see pictures?
Jack:Now, Terry, I suspect you know it's illegal for someone to own another human being.
Jack:And thanks to decades of partying, Jenna's internal organs will get you nothing on the black market.
Jack:A 7th-grade education, hepatitis D, bullet in jaw, fatwa, credit card debt, wanted by the Yakuza -- Jenna Maroney is worth... $2,000.
Jack:Lemon, I haven't seen anything in the news about attitudes towards marriage changing forever because of one brave woman.
Jack:Oh, also, I told him you're Italian, so he might call you Tina --
Jack · Kenneth:In this market, $2,000 is more than respectable. I mean, look at Kenneth. He's worth $5 tops. / I'm gonna hold you to that, sir!
Jack:I've been divorced twice. I'm at an age where I no longer need erectile softeners. I'm number two at an American television company, with no possibility for promotion. I'll probably die on this job. I've already had one heart attack.
Jack:I used to be a young man with promise. I coined the phrase, 'You wish, pal!'
Jack:Oh, God. I'm worth less than you.
Jack:It's 30 minutes away. I'll be there in 10.
Jack:♪ Just in time ♪ / Navy. Gray. Maroon. Gray. Am I depressed? Later!
Jack:Oh, you'll do quite nicely. Come on, come on, come on, come on! Black Dennis, start the car!
Jack · Liz · Jack:Lemon, earlier today, I took a hard look at where life has led me, and I didn't like what I saw. But now, looking at you, I realize -- / That anything's possible? / You know, I'm attractive. I've got cheekbones and a pair you can do something with.
Jack:I'm just saying, from a grateful nation, thank you, Liz Lemon.
Jack:I assume it was the bottle of wine with the card reading 'Dear Doritos, what about just selling bags full of your dust? I could put it on chicken or fish.'
Jack:Then I have to drive around with my headlights off until someone flashes me. Then I have to... Well, it's not important.
Jack:Fittingly, she left everything to her live-in nurse, Martha... The house I paid for, the silver, my grandfather's purple heart.
Jack:I loved my mother, Lemon... Obviously, because of Stockholm syndrome.
Jack:She is the only person in the world to have sarcastic last words: 'I just want you to be happy.' Mother, how I 'miss' you.
Jack · Liz:I can get you a V.I.P. pass to Universal's Harry Potter world. I am not some kind of 'nerdery' slut. I like Star Wars.
Jack:God, she loved looting. [in reaction to Martha showing Jack a baby shoe found 'after that fire']
Jack:I saw this on Dateline. Next, we'll be holding hands in adjacent bathtubs. Or maybe that was a Cialis commercial... it's all a blur.
Jack:The only animal Colleen ever bought me was a myna bird who was later revealed to be Colleen's personal spy. I told that bird everything.
Jack:Abraham Lincoln and his roommate Joshua Fry Speed slept in the same bed together until Joshua died from dancing too long at a party.
Jack · Liz:Our relationship is purely platonic, if Plato had an elderly, shut-in aunt. / You know what Plato did have? A gay relationship with Socrates.
Liz · Jack:Your pajamas have a turtleneck. / They're from the L.L. Bean maritime professional collection.
Jack:It goes without saying, Lemon, that nothing will happen in this bed tonight, and I am referring, of course, to your... digestive failings.
Jack:If you're trying to conjure my mother's ghost, you could just shake a jar of coins while praising Jimmy Carter.
Jack:I did sleep with Jenna a lot during season three.
Jack:There was a particularly youth-oriented priest in my childhood parish who went after everybody but me... Even fat Ralph, and he ate his boogers.
Jack:To ruin what we have with a tawdry, yet expert sexual encounter would've been a mistake.
Jack:Also, maybe I was never attracted to you because you're the kind of person who finds a way to talk about herself while lying in my dead mother's bed.
Jack:First of all, it's 'champing' at the bit. Horses champ. / And second of all, I'm not going to fight in bed with a woman I'm not even having sex with.
Liz · Jack:Lincoln was super gay. / Thank you.
Jack:And I know those pots aren't flowers. They're my mother's vagina.
Kenneth · Jack:Kenneth Parcell isn't signing your precious affidavit. / That is a Christmas card from my estranged daughter.
Jack:People who wanted to be happy were weak... Hippies, Italians, kindergarten teachers.
Jack:The goal has always been money or prestige or, when playing hockey, the goal.
