"That's what I do when I want to get out of something, like a sketch or a parent-teacher conference or this boring conversation." "Tank it?" "Wow, no, that's not how I roll." "Thank you for saying that in dated urban slang so that I'll understand you." "Word." "And I would certainly never tank on my friend Jenna."

"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." "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." "Could we have a moment, please?" "Fine." "You got me." "I'm steering the Titanic into the iceberg." "Why?" "You trying to get fired?" "I'm trying to get Hank to sell the network, and the only way to make him do that is to turn it into a money-losing embarrassment." "This explains everything." "How long has this been going on?" "Seven years?" "Eight?" "Six weeks." "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?" "This is wrong, Jack." "Lemon, I cannot go to another business-school reunion and sit at the non-CEO table with the... women and nice men." "You're right, Lemon, the clock is ticking for both of us, but if I pull this off, it's good for you, too." "You've never worked at a properly managed company before." "That's true." "Before this, I ran an all-women's theater company." "Everyone was vice president." "Think of it -- job stability, less stress, a commissary that has Taco Tuesdays again."

"If you put this in the oven at about 200 degrees, my snake should be very comfortable while she gives birth." "Mr. Jordan, please help yourself to some appetizers." "Thank you." "Your home is terrible." "Shall we conversation?" " Yes." "We're having weather." " Much weather." "So, speaking of your movie studio..." "This conversation has a real flow to it." "Do you ever have any roles for white women who've been described by "The Hollywood Reporter"" "as "some lady who ruined the premiere of 'ParaNorman"'?" "Oh, I always have one white person in all my movies." "We have to have a villain." "Oh, and who's worse than us whites, right?" "I mean, look at slavery." "That was bananas!" "Oh-oh..."

"FYI, Paul's family dog is gonna be the ring bearer." "Zoltan is an 18-year-old German shepherd who cannot walk." "So, you're gonna be in charge of him." " No, Jenna, I'm allergic to dogs." " Oh, don't worry." "He's hairless because of his insanity medication." "Also, since this is a surprise wedding, you're gonna want to carry around your bridesmaid's dress with you at all times." "Look how great this is gonna look next to me." "You know I can't wear green, Jenna." "The Clinique lady says I have witch undertones." "Liz, this isn't about you." "Now, tonight we have a tasting with the caterer." "It's gonna be molecular gastronomy." "The cake is a tasteless foam." "There's no cake?" "Tonight on NBC," ""Tank It," the reality event of the year, where we make grandpas put on tank tops and then laugh at them." ""Tank If"." "You know what?" "I can't do anything tonight." "Because tonight is your surprise bachelorette party!" "Aah!" "No way!" "You planned it already?" "Sure, and you should get your hopes way up." "See you at my apartment at eight." "Your apartment?" "Why?" "It's a surprise." "And there's nothing worse than a surprise Lemon party." "Kenneth, darling, why don't you run out and get dessert?" "Oh, but we have government ice cream." "And that's what you're gonna serve to Tracy Jordan?" "I'm as shocked as anybody." "Oh, uh, okay." "Maybe the nice vending machine at the prison is working again." "You're a real man, Tracy Jordan." "Playing it cool all night while I rubbed your foot under the table." "My foot?" "No, that's shoe stuffing." "It helps keep the shape of my shoes." "Why was you rubbing my foot, anyway?" "Please." "You know what's happening here." "I never know what's happening anywhere." "Okay, let's get this party started!" "Ooh, I smell Italian guys." "What is this?" "It's your bachelorette party." "Bethany from work is here and a bunch of my neighbors." "A clown." "And there's a "God Cop" marathon on NBC." "I think Esposito lied to us." "What do you mean you think?" "You're God." "I don't understand the rules of this." "Let us pray." "To whom?" "!" "Before you say anything, I have one more surprise for you." "Officer, we're ready!" "Oh, thank God!" "Listen up, ladies." "You're all in a lot of trouble if you don't protect yourselves against identity theft." "Please take a pamphlet." "Pass them along." "Okay, you're upset." "But this is what you get when you choose Liz Lemon as your maid of honor." "So, let's get this over with." "I mean, you know, what's the worst you could possibly...?" "Tracy, I will do anything to play a villain in one of your movies." "Oh, and the camera loves me." "Especially when I flash my baby blues." "Why are they blue?" "No!" "I'm married, Hazel." "So am I." "And if he ever wakes up from that coma, I'm dead!" "That's why I live for today." "You're just using Kenneth!" "And I'm telling him everything!" "Whatever." "Go ahead and try." "I'm gonna have to try?" "Worst night ever!" "Just ask one of your famous friends to be maid of honor." "Why do you think I asked you in the first place?" "Because you're not famous!" "You think I want someone up there with me that other people are looking at?" "I wanted you because you're nothing!" "Ahh!" "I get it." "You didn't want to get Pippa Middleton-ed." "Why would you even mention her?" "!" "Who's gonna be my maid of honor now, Liz?" "Nobody." "From the rubble, I will build." "Are you talking about me underneath your breath?" "Jenna, that's it!" "Nobody will be your maid of honor, because there's only one person who can be -- you." " What?" "That's crazy." " Think about it." "There would be nobody to steal your spotlight." "In fact, you would have two spotlights." "I think the maid of honor should sing at my wedding." "Sure." "And she can do a fashion show that takes the audience all the way through the wedding night." "And what if she came in in a wheelchair and then stood up and everyone applauded and cried?" "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." "Jonathan." "Where's my car?" "Kenneth, I have something I need to tell you." "Last night, when you left," "Hazel came on to me 'cause she wants me to put her in a movie." "Hazel, is this true?" "Yeah." "It is true." "Not!" "What I said was I would never sleep with Tracy for a pan in a movie." "Oh, please, you would love for me to fall asleep on top of you." "Come on, Kenmore washers and dryers, who are you gonna believe here?" " My best friend." " Not really." " And my girlfriend." " You wish." "Well, I always believe you, sir, because you're on television." "And webisodes." "But yesterday you told me our women are queens, and they're always right, which means I should believe Hazel." "But that would make you wrong, Mr. Jordan, and you've never been wrong about anything before." "It's a blessing and a purse." "You can't both be right." "Unless Hazel is always right, but only because you said so, Mr. Jordan, which means you're right, too." "And both sides being right is like kissing your sister." "A wonderful treat!" "Bad move, Jordan." "We'll see who's still working here in six months." "My hearing is bad because of firecrackers, but we'll see who's still working here in six months." " That's what I just said." " What?" "Okay, I get it." "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." "I'm just glad that you've seen the light." "Now, help me tank NBC, and you'll be helping yourself." "You'll have it all." "Jack, it's 9:30 in the morning." "We're not trying to do a good job here, Lemon." "Now, what do you say?" "Are you in?" "Let's take this mother down." " Next word, "sent."" " I don't care." "Okay, "cent" like a penny." "Whatever." "No!" "Sorry." "No." "Oh!" "It's a "Homonym" Double Down." "Means you get to guess again." ""Sent."" "Okay, then "scent" like a smell or an odor." "No, it's the third one." "...yourself!" "Next word is "au pair."" "What?" "There is only one definition." "It's, like, a nanny." "A foreign nanny." "No!" "You forgot it could also be an exclamation about a fruit, as in, "Oh, pear!"" "What you are doing here is not right!" "I'm " " That " " I'm leaving."
