Liz: Very funny, you bought a pager from Dennis. Will you take it off now, please?
Jack: I'm sorry, I can't, I'm expecting a call from 1983.
-
Tracy: I shouldn't expect a white woman from Whiteville to understand street cred.
Liz: First of all, I'm not from Whiteville, I'm from White Haven. And it's not as nice as it sounds.
-
Dennis: Maybe I'll, uh, pick up some Chinese.
Liz: Aww, you said "Chinese" instead of something offensive.
-
Dennis: There's no reason to live anymore.
Liz: What happened?
Dennis: The Islanders lost tonight.
Liz: Doesn't that happen a lot?
Dennis: I knew you wouldn't understand.
-
Frank: You sell beepers?
Dennis: I sell way of life, my friend.
Frank: Cool, I could use some ironic accessories.
-
Jack: Lemon, what tragedy happened in your life that you insist upon punishing yourself with all this... (looks around her office) ...mediocrity?
Liz: What, because I'm eating a turkey sub?
Jack: Your turkey sub, your clothes, the fact that a woman of your resources and position lives like some... boxcar hobo. Or maybe it's the fact that while I'm saying all this, you have a piece of lettuce stuck in your hair.

Jack: (looking through the blinds in Liz's office) Oh, my. There appears to be a gentleman making passionate, angry love to himself.
Liz: Yeah, I know. That's why I closed the blinds in the first place.
Jack: Right in his office. Huh.
(Turns away). Lemon, I like to think of myself as a winner; I like to surround myself with winners. I see potential in you. Let me be your Jack Welsh. Let me be your mentor.
Liz: No, thank you.
Jack: That is unfortunate. (Turns around and looks through blinds again) You've, uh, got to admire his persistence and stamina, though. Am I wrong or is he in the middle of a staff meeting?
Liz: Maybe you should be his mentor.
Jack: Obviously he doesn't need one. He's got it all figured out.

Liz: Last week was my birthday and everyone forget except Dennis. He called and we went out and it wasn't weird.
Jenna: And how was the sex?
Liz: Fast and only on Saturdays—it's perfect!
-
Tracy [angry at being called "Normal" in a magazine picture]: That's character assassination! That's not normal! It only looks like I'm walking out of a Starbucks when actually I'm doing the robot going backwards into a Starbucks! And I don't even know who dog that is. Yes, I steal dogs!

Dennis: Dennis Duffy, Beeper King.
Jack: That's a sharp tie you've got there, Dennis.
Dennis: That douchebag up front made me wear it.
Jack: Does he know you're the Beeper King?
Dennis: I don't think so.
Liz: This is clearly the nicest restaurant we've ever been to.
Dennis: Hold on a second, this place ain't that nice, alright. It's got rats and roaches like every other restaurant.
Liz: No rat talk tonight, okay.
Dennis: (to Jack) You know there are 17 rats per person in Manhattan? You eat a pound of rat crap every year without even knowing it.
Jack: I think I read about that in The New Yorker. (pause) Um, anyway, we'll leave you two to your meal. I hope you enjoy the... choices that you've made.
-
Jenna: You're back with Dennis?
Liz: I'm back with Dennis.
(Jenna gives Liz a look.)
Liz: Don't look at me with your eyebrows all up, it's so annoying.
Jenna: Oh, yes, I'm annoying. Not the man who honked your boobs on the Jumbo Screen
Liz: That was before, and it was the playoffs.
-
Frank: Sounds like someone loves Liz Taylor.
Josh: I do.
Toofer: No, we mean looove love.
Frank: Yeah, like if she walked in right now, and said she wanted to do it with you, you would.
Josh: I definitely would.
-
Tracy: You take away my street cred and I am Wayne Brady.
Liz: Nuh-uh. Wayne Brady has three Emmys. You have a People's Choice Award that you stole from Wayne Brady.
