30 Rock 3x5

Reunion

Season 3, Episode 5

& Ken: Miss Lemon, you have several messages. Let’s see... That company running the bike tour in South Carolina says “no singles.”
    Liz: Okay.
    Ken: Your credit card called. They wanna make sure you’re the one buying cream soda in bulk*.
    Liz: I sure am.
    Ken: And your landlord called. And he said it is not the toilet, it’s you.
    Liz: That’s his opinion.

& Jake: What’s that flavor?
    Liz: It’s Dove age-fighting acne cream.

& Jake: Well, that’s you now, Lemon. You run a hit TV show. You have very impressive friends. You found a hairstyle that works for you... So long as it’s not too humid. And you’re telling me that you don’t have the confidence to face a bunch of whittling, jug-blowing monkeys?
    Liz: Jack, it’s a suburb of Philadelphia.
    Jake: Lemon, you will go and show that Kelsey Winthrop that the ugly duckling has turned into... a vaguely* ethnic swan.

& Jake: That’s fun, right? Instead of running everything, I’m going back to my old job. So the standards department is telling me you can only say “cat anus” twice during the show, but I’m gonna fight for you. You can say it three times. Cat anus, cat anus, cat anus!

& Liz: Are you okay?
    Jake: I have to be. What are my other options? Cry? Wallow*? If I do that, Geiss and the Beam win. If I control my feelings, I win.
    Liz: Jeez, Jack, tough year. First William F. Buckley dies, now this. Next stop impotence, right?

& Liz: What is wrong with these people?
    Jake: Nothing. They’re good Americans. Hey, Lemon, check this out. I just made it up. 3B — beers, boats, and buds. Doesn’t that sound great?
    Liz: Are you having a stroke?
    Jake: No. No, all my life I thought I made good choices, but am I happy? These people are happy. I envy them. I wish I was one of them...
    Keith: Larry?.. Larry Braverman?..
    Jake: Yes. Yes, I am Larry Braverman.

& Tracy: Jenna, we’re the most important people here, right?
    Jenna: Well, of course, Tracy. We’re actors. If we didn’t exist, how would people know who to vote for?
    Tracy: And people around here shouldn’t take attention from us, should they?
    Jenna: No. Never. Attention is what gives us power. If someone threatens that, you have to put a stop to it.

& Jenna: Here’s your lunch, Mr. Parcell. Just the way you like it. Ham sandwich with the spices, hold by the bread.
    Ken: But that’s my job!!
    Tracy: ...this studio hosted The Kraft television theater in the 1950s, where young writers like Paddy Chayefsky and Rod Sterling First rose to prominence...
    Ken: Mr. Jordan, why are you giving a tour?!
    Tracy: It doesn’t feel good when someone does your job, does it?

& Ken: I’m so sorry, miss Morone.
    Jenna: No, keep crying. I want you to feel this so you never make this mistake again.

& Jake: We all know that Liz Lemon has her faults, but no one’s perfect. I mean, I’m certainly not perfect.
    Keith: Don’t say that Braverman!!
    Rob: You’re more than perfect.
    Jake: No, no, no, it’s true. I’ve made mistakes. Sacrificed happiness for a job I don’t think I’m ever going to get. We all have ways of coping*. I use sex and awesomeness. Lemon here hides behind her insults, but that’s not who she is. She’s a good person... whom I’m honored to call my friend.
    Liz: Thank you, ’Larry’.

& Kelsey: Larry, we’re all so happy to have you back in our lives. But me especially. Because there’s someone I want you to meet... Larry... This is your son.

& Jake: I am not Larry Braverman. I repeat, I am not Larry Braverman! I am Liz Lemon’s platonic friend, Jack Donaghy.
