Episode Quotes
Tracy: Pete, you got two type of women in this world, one who gives you strength and one who takes strength from you like Delilah took strength from Samson...in that movie.
Jenna: Oh, Liz, its always been my dream to meet and marry a prince, like a modern-day Cinderella story.
Liz: Hey, maybe I'm Cinderella this time.

Jenna: No, Liz. Cinderella is blond. You can be Snow White and party with the little people.
(at Gerhardt's party)

Liz: Hi. How did you get in here?
Jenna: Oh, Liz, if you dress well and enter with confidence, you can get in anywhere.
Liz: You showed the security guy your boobs, didn't you?

Jack: (to Liz) That Gerhardt is amazing, isn't he? I mean, most people in his situation would be angry with their family for the centuries of inbreeding, but not Gerhardt. He's too busy trying to stave off infection.

Jack: Beyoncé.
Jack: Beyoncé.
(Jenna isn't sure if she wants to be with Gerhardt)

Jenna: No, you're a good friend and thank you.

Girl: (to Pete) Your name sounds Jewish. You must be important.
Jack: (about Bianca) Sexually, she wanted it four or five times a day and always standing up.
Liz: (laughs) Standing up, what? How did that even work?
Jack: You're kidding, right?
Liz: Yeah...
Liz: (laughs) Standing up, what? How did that even work?
Jack: You're kidding, right?
Liz: Yeah...
Jenna: Gerhardt, would you like to dance?
Gerhardt: Sadly, because my body does not produce joint fluid, I cannot.
Gerhardt: Sadly, because my body does not produce joint fluid, I cannot.
Pete: Hey, I'm not doing anything wrong. I'm just- I'm just dancing, Kenneth.

Gerhardt: Jenna, I know we have just met, but I think I love you. Do you love me?
Jenna: (reluctantly) Mm...hm.
Gerhardt: Oh! Knowing I have the love of a beautiful woman has set me free! (something falls onto his plate)
Jenna: I think you just lost an eyebrow.
Jenna: (reluctantly) Mm...hm.
Gerhardt: Oh! Knowing I have the love of a beautiful woman has set me free! (something falls onto his plate)
Jenna: I think you just lost an eyebrow.
Jack: (to Liz) When Gerhardt was born, the doctor told his mother and cousin he would either live for fifteen minutes or for a hundred years. Boy, he proved them all wrong.
Jack: The look on Bianca's face just before she choked you... (laughing) That was the most satisfying thing.
Liz: It was pretty good.
Jack: Oh, just to know that she's filled with bile over me warms my heart.
Liz: It was pretty good.
Jack: Oh, just to know that she's filled with bile over me warms my heart.

This action between Jack and Liz parallels the same move in Pretty Woman (a 1990 romantic comedy) between Edward (played by Richard Gere) and Vivian (played by Julia Roberts). In the movie, Vivian reacts with laughter, but here Liz reacts with an exclamation of pain.
