Episode Quotes
 
Abed: Do it, Britta. Seduce him. Draw the tapeworm of Jeff's old self out of him with the bowl of milk that is your sexuality.
 
Jeff: TV's the best dad there is. TV never came home drunk. TV never forgot me at the zoo. TV never abused and insulted me, unless you count Cop Rock.
 
Britta: Maybe you're one of those rare people with nothing underneath the surface. Maybe, if you put stain remover on a turd, you don't get a diamond. You just get a turd, with less direction in life.
 
Jeff: You're into me.
Britta: I beg your unbelievable pardon?
 
Jeff: The next person that offers charity or pity will be mentioned by name in my suicide note.
 
Britta: You need to move on with your life.
Jeff: Yeah, move on with my life. Schmove schmon schmith schmy scmife!
 
Britta: Are you okay? It looks like you have actual bedhead this morning.
Jeff: In fashion, I'm what's known as a taste-maker.
Britta: And you missed an entire side of your face shaving.
Jeff: And next month, so will Gwen Stefani.
 
Abed: Sometimes I like to pour hot cocoa mix into cold milk and drink it like a cold hot chocolate. I call it "special drink."
Jeff: And some day you will know it by its true name: diabetes.
