When it's time to plan a party for Jeff's birthday, everyone gets involved. But Audrey is spending a little too much time on planning the party, which makes Jeff unhappy. Although Jeff won't reveal what he usually gets in the annual birthday deal, Adam brings up the subject with Jennifer and is then worried when Jennifer not only agrees to give him a birthday deal, but announces she wants to get one in return. Meanwhile, Russell is obsessed with trying to figure out what Jeff's birthday present really is.

Quotes

Adam: I am now the proud owner of, not one, but two birthday deals.
Jeff: (sarcastically) Two? No way!
Adam: That's right. What's the matter? Is my two a little hard for you to swallow?
(A passing sales attendant gives them a smile) (edit)
(Jeff is lounging on a couch in the home-goods store as a couple approaches)
Jeff: If you're serious about buying, I'll get up, but...it's not very comfortable. (edit)
Jennifer: (speaking of her Birthday Deal) Okay, I'm gonna think about mine while I'm showering.
Adam: Okay! Well, I'm gonna think about you showering while I'm thinking about mine. (chuckles) Two birthday deals. Suck on that, Jeff. (edit)
Adam: I'm getting the deal! And then every year when I'm doing it, I'm gonna think of you. (awkward pause) I-I didn't say that.
Jeff: I didn't hear it. (edit)
Jeff: I've been married for 12 years. You basically threw a ring at a stranger.
Adam: She's not a stranger, all right? We've been together for seven months. Plus, I didn't even get her a ring yet.
Jeff: Why not?
Adam: I don't know what she likes, we've only known each other for seven months!
Jeff: Wow...you clearly know what you're doing. (edit)

The Birthday Deal
"Bottom of the barrel"
I didn't necessarily have high hopes for this show, but after this week - I don't think it will ever make a permanent spot on any network.
