10:04 pm
because like you said in your movie, "i invent my tomorrow." - but i wasn't even supposed to say that. the line was, "shereen i hope dr. mogutu has good news about my endoscopy," but i couldn't get it right, so they told me to improv. - come on, guys. i'm making it rain. how about a little less self-respect and a little more squatting? - you see what you've done liz lemon? - tracy jordan is broken. it's over. - get off stage! no whites! - you wanted to see me miss maroney? oh, my. candles, incense disco music. someone's getting into the easter spirit. - no, kenneth. do you remember that silly joke about me having your baby?

10:07 pm
- no, not really. gas has no effect on me at all. when i was growing up, my school, gerry cooney elementary, it was right next to a gas works in queens. it ventilated into the cafeteria. we got a big settlement from the city. our parents voted to spend it on a boat that the families could share, but then that sank. but you know what? i'm still smart enough to know that i'll never do better than you, liz lemon, 'cause you're a cook in the bedroom and a whore in the kitchen. so i'm gonna give you one more shot to admit to me that you keep bringing me back into your life for a reason. - subhas, take out the trash. - don't order me around, woman. - no, i mean-- just-- dennis, get out. - you'll change your mind. - [sighs] let's rock, duffy. that's good! that's it!
