30 Rock 3x4

Gavin Volure

Season 3, Episode 4

& Tracy: Look what the little one made me.
    Ken: Aw, that’s cute.
    Tracy: This is voodoo, Ken! Those two are up to something.
    Ken: Sometimes, kids act out when there’s a big change. I know I was a handful when my family moved from our farm house to that militia camp in the woods.


& Tracy: Well, there is all this new money coming in. And it’s not just from the video game. It’s the tie-ins, the toys, the life-sized Tracy Jordan sex doll... They’re selling like hotcakes in Japan.
    Ken: Well, you know what they say, money is the root of all evil.
    Tracy: I thought that was just a tagline for my movie, Death Bank...


& Jake: This is the most exciting day of my life. And I was pulled onstage once to dance at a Bruce Springsteen concert.
    Gavin Volure (aka Steve Martin!): Welcome aboard. Just think, this time next year, you’ll be so rich you can run for political office without having to pretend to be a fundamentalist.


& Jake: Kenneth, what are you doing?
    Ken: Ah, hello, sir. I’ve been taking in laundry to make extra money. I just don’t let myself read the t-shirts with off-color slogans.

& Jake: ...what’s the problem?
    Liz: I don’t know, I’m still tired from that dinner. And meeting someone new, ugh. All the nodding and smiling and siblings* listing. And what’s the upside? It works and you have to have a bunch of sex?
    Jake: Lemon, what do you want? Do you want to be alone for the rest of your life?
    Liz: No, I just wish I could start a relationship about 12 years in, when you really don’t have to try anymore and you can just sit around together and goof on TV shows, and then go to bed without anybody trying any funny business.


& Liz: So you just never leave this house?
    Gavin Volure: I’m afraid not. And it does get lonely. I’d be lying if I told you I never danced with a broom.
    Liz: That’s nothing. Sometimes, to feel like I have company during dinner, I dispute credit card charges on speaker phone.


& Ken: I’m sorry to bother you, Mr. Donaghy. But I’ve got another $10.00 I’d like to invest. I did some street performing in my neighborhood this weekend.
    Jake: Kenneth, I’m very proud of you. Next stop — home ownership... I’m just kidding. The middle class is dying, you’ll be renting forever.


& Jake: Uh, Kenneth. I couldn’t get your money back, and I’m sorry. I feel responsible, so I want you to have this.
    Ken: Mr. Donaghy, I can’t take that. Well, what would this country be if our economy didn’t allow wealthy people to take advantage of rubes*?
    Jake: Well, yes, that’s true. But what about your family?
    Ken: Ah, don’t worry about us. We, Parcells, have eaten our share of rock soup and squirrel tail. But we’ve also known lean times. We’ll get by.
