	Cerie:	I guess. We both want to have babies while it's still cool. I already have all the names picked out. If it's a girl. Bookcase, or Sandstorm, or maybe Hat, but that's more of a boys name.

	Cerie:	You can have a career at anytime. But you only have a short period where you can be a young hot mom. If you wait to long you could be likeâ€¦50 at your kids graduation.

	Kenneth:	My mother always told me that even when things seem bad, there's someone else who's having a worse day. Like being stung by a bee. Or getting a splinter. Or being chained to a wall in someone's sex dungeon.
	Jack:	Isn't that a kick in the soft stuff. Kenneth, I mean you get strength from your mother while mine is sucking the life out of me. She calls me constantly. That was her. Complaining about where she's living. Threatening to move in with me.
	Kenneth:	Oh how wonderful!
	Jack:	No no no that's not wonderful. I run companies. Plural. But to that woman, I'm always going to be the punk kid who cried when Pop was run over by a mail truck.

El Matador


	Tracy:	YO
	Josh:	Tracy, it's Jack Donaghy. I hear we have a problem with Josh Girard.
	Tracy:	Damn right! He keeps impersonating me! Making me into a caricature.
	Josh:	Well, I would take care of this if I could. But it's tricky. You see, Josh's father is an assassin for the Russian mafia. They call him, El Matador.

	Josh:	It happy s me, to hear you say that. For being so understanding, I'm sending you our new, secret top secret invisible motorcycle.

Jack Advises


	Jack:	Lemon, we have a problem.
	Liz:	I have this whole Tracy Josh thing under control.
	Jack:	What are you talking about?
	Liz:	Nothing. What are you talking about?
	Jack:	You. You yelling at the crew, you trawling for seed.
	Liz:	Oh it's a big misunderstanding. Jenna thinks that I want to have a baby.
	Jack:	I should have known this would be a problem when I decided to mentor a woman.
	Liz:	No, in facty what i said was that my body is trying to make me think I want to have a baby, but my body is not the boss of me. My brain is.
	Jack:	Well if you insist on going all Murphy Brown on me, let me give you a tip. Don't smother your child with affection to compensate for not having a man in your life. Don't say you're the only man I'll ever love, even babies know that's creepy.
	Liz:	Of course!
	Jack:	Don't put little notes in their lunch bag that say Mommies watching you People find those things.
	Liz:	But I bet you behaved yourself.
	Jack:	If your child is a terrific hockey player, and a gifted flautist, don't make them play the National Anthem on the flute in front of his teammates.
	Liz:	Your mother did that?
	Jack:	Now she wants to move in with me. I can't have that lemon.
	Liz:	Then be an adult and call her and say that you love her very much, but living together is not going to work for you.
	Jack:	You don't know my mother. This is a woman who actually had a heart attack to prevent me from going on my honeymoon.
	Liz:	Maybe her heart broke because she's spent 20 years raising you and you're a total ingrate.
	Jack:	That's exactly what she said. Is this what you want Lemon, to breath life into another human being just to spend the rest of your days slowly sucking it out of them.
	Liz:	No. That's why my brain is the boss
	Jack:	Speak of the devil.
	Liz:	Take a breath. Be nice.
	Jack:	Hello mother, so nice to hear your voice. No, I am not on anything. I know that things have been difficult for you lately and I was thinking you carried me for nine months, let me carry you now. WELL RIGHT BACK AT YOU COLLEEN! That's right! You cut Pops balls off! And left him in the street to die!
