QuotesEdit

Liz: You've already made up your mind about this, haven't you?

Jenna: Oh, you're right, Liz! I should go for it!

Liz: You're not even listening, are you? Poop. Monkey butt.

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

Jack: Lemon, I want to thank you. For showing me that I could have a pleasant evening with a woman my age.

Liz: I'm twelve years younger than you.

Jack: A woman your age then.

Pop CultureEdit

The scene when Jack brings Liz a diamond necklace to wear and snaps the box on her fingers refers to an unscripted scene in Pretty Woman where Richard Gere brings Julia Roberts (also wearing a red dress) a diamond necklace and snaps it on her fingers causing her to laugh out loud. In the scene in 30 Rock, however, instead of laughing out loud Liz begins swearing that her fingers were hurt.

NotesEdit

Frank's trucker hat says "High Score."

ReceptionEdit

"30 Rock is finally finding its self as a surreal sit com. It’s taking traditional sit com ideas and creating its own unique universe to make its surreal jokes within. But make no mistake, this works so well because Liz, Jack, Jenna and Pete all behave like real people at their core. That grounding in reality makes all the inbreeding, gown stripping and devil\angel stuff seem plausible and really funny." - The TV Critic's Review
