  Episode Quotes  
Liz: (referring to a dog) Whose horse is that?
Dennis: Ah, thats my cousin, Teddy's, Great Dane. I told him I'd watch him for a couple of weeks 'cause Teddy broke his ankle running from some black guys who pulled a gun on him.
Liz: Now, why is it important to tell me that the muggers were black?
Dennis: They weren't muggers. They were cops.
Liz: So, why don't you just say he was running from some cops?
Dennis: I don't know. I mean, you're a racist for assuming that they weren't cops.
 
Liz: Get out. I want you out of here!
Dennis: You can't kick me out. I love you!
Liz: No, no. Get your stuff, and get out. I'm not doing this anymore.
Dennis: You can't kick me out. I got squatter's rights.
Liz: Which is it, you love me or you got squatter's rights?
Dennis: I don't see why they're mutually exclusive!
 
(Liz reassures Jenna that she and Dennis are broken up)
Jenna: If that's true, then I'm taking you out to celebrate. A girl's night. We'll meet some new people.
Liz: Oh, you mean like at a discotheque?
Jenna: Oh, boy.
 
Jack: (on the phone with his mystery girlfriend) What are you wearing? Black dress? Black stockings? A funeral. Oh, I'm sorry.
 
(Tracy refuses to dress up in drag for a sketch)
Frank: (to Toofer) Thanks a lot. Now what am I supposed to do with this sketch?
Josh: I'll do it. I mean, my parents raised me as a girl for, like, ten years. (everyone stares in silence) What, I told you guys that.
 
Tracy: Our comedy gotta do more than make people laugh. It gotta make people think. I wanna hold a mirror up to society and then win world record for biggest mirror.
 
Toofer: (pointing in the dictionary, sarcastically) Oh, here it is. "Izzle: a suffix that can be used to take the place of anything."
Tracy: Well, now you're just being patronizzle.
Frank: You know who would love this argument? My racist grandfather.
 
Guy: (flirting) Excuse me, is this seat taken?
Liz: (irritated) Ugh! Really, dude? I gotta move my coat? There's, like, four empty seats down there. Can't you just be cool?
(he walks away)
Jenna: That guy wanted to buy you a drink.
Liz: Really? But I already have a drink. Do you think he'd buy me mozzarella sticks?
 
Liz: (to two men hitting on Jenna) Really? You think she looks like Jessica Simpson? You could put a long blond wig on a ferret and it would look like Jessica Simpson. And by the way, Jessica Simpson would think that you are old and gross, so good luck with that.
 
(Toofer has filed a complaint against Tracy for calling him the "N" word)
Tracy: It's OK for us to use it with each other. You could call me that. It's a term of endearment.
Toofer: Look, I'm not trying to cause any trouble, and I confess I appreciate what you do for the show. I want you to be my brother, my homeboy, my n– (a vacuum drowns him out, as everyone shouts in disgust)
Jack: This meeting is adjourned.
Tracy: (to Toofer) Not cool, homey! You might as well spray me down with a fire hose!
Liz: (to Toofer) Just sounds so hateful coming from you and ugh!
Tracy: (to man from Human Resources) I wish to file a complaint.
 
Dennis: (reading from a letter he wrote) Dear Liz Lemon, while other women have bigger boobs than you, no woman has as big a heart. When I saw you getting ready to go out and get nailed by a bunch of guys last night, I knew for sure it was over between us. And for the first time since the '86 World Series I cried. I cried like a big dumb homo. And if it was up to me, we would be together forever, but there's this new thing called "women's liberation," which gives you women the right to choose, and you have chosen to abort me, and that I must live with. So tonight, when you arrive home, I'll be gone. I officially renounce my squatter's rights. (crumples up the letter) I'll always love you. Good bye and good luck. I'll never forget you. (he leaves)
Liz: And that is why we are no longer a couple.
 
(Jack and Dennis discuss the hardships of dating)
Jack: That's why I'm alway dating twenty-year-olds.
Dennis: (laughs) Let me tell you about twenty-year-olds, my friend. Half of them are sixteen.
 
Dennis: (to 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.
 
Dennis: (to Liz) I just wanted to drop off your Christmas present. I had already bought it for you, so... (hands it to her) It's a fancy briefcase, you know, 'cause you're classy and important...like a dude.
 
(Dennis tries to defend himself after Liz sees him on Dateline)
Dennis: That girl said she was sixteen, but I swear to God I could tell she was twenty-two!
