SchmidtDamn it! I've been trying to get something going with myself for a full hour. It's like a taffy pull on a hot summer's day.
SchmidtCece and I, we have this connection. You know, it's physical... it's unhealthy. Look, I don't want to get too graphic with you, but I'm not just the plug with her. I'm also a socket.
Schmidt[to Cece] So I've been thinking a lot about it, and... I'd really like to start calling you "shorty" in public.
Schmidt[indicates head to heart] I think I'm way too up here, all upstairs. Got to bring it down, here to here. Not any lower, though. It's not like that.
SchmidtWell you have found my flabbergast button, and guess what, you pressed it.
Schmidt[about a photo of a micro-penis] I just look at that picture and wonder, is there a God? And if there is, did he run out of clay?
You live with these people, Jess? Seriously? You can stay here until you find a better place to live.
You know what? I don't like you, stretch. I don't like anything about you, and I'm not afraid to...
I got this. I've got a place to live, Spence. It's over. I spent six years trying to figure you out. All you are is a guy with really beautiful hair. I'm happy you cheated on me. Thank you. Because if you hadn't, I would have married you. And then you would have hurt me all over again. And yeah, I was scared to start over. I didn't know what to do. And yeah, I'm living with three guys I met on the Internet. And yeah, stranger danger is real. But I love these guys. I barely know them, I just met him, but I love them.
I would just take it easy with the love stuff.
SchmidtCome on, the love stuff.
All of them.
[Jess shows an ugly yellow dress]
SchmidtNo!
That is the ugliest dress I have ever seen, Jess!
SchmidtI'm really gonna need you to step it up tonight, okay? When I see you, I wanna be thinking, "Who let the dirty slut out of the slut house?"
[in a British accent] Probaby the slut butler, right?
[after accidently seeing Nick naked] What am I going to do?! He's never going to speak to me again. I'm so embarrassed!
It's not a big deal. I've seen Nick's stuff, like, a million times.
SchmidtYou have? I mean...how?
We grew up together. Locker rooms, swimming pools, penis fights...it just happens.
SchmidtWhy haven't I seen it?
Why do you wanna see it?
SchmidtHe's my best friend!
Again, why do you wanna see it?
SchmidtWhat if Nick has an accident? What if he's horribly disfigured and I have to identify him, and all the remains are his private parts? I'm standing there and I'm saying: "Sorry officer, I can't help you, because, no, I haven't seen his penis", and boom, he's buried in an unmarked grave.
Again, why do you wanna see it?
[After Nick told Jess that they wouldn't be doing Thanksgiving]
I'm just cooking dinner for you guys... and Paul.
What?
SchmidtWhat?
Hmm? What?
Did you say "and Paul"? Who's Paul? Did you invite somebody named Paul to our house?
Yes, I did. I asked someone out.
Asked someone out?
SchmidtJess, be honest—is the turkey named Paul?
It's a real guy. And he teaches at my school. And he's really, really hot! And the turkey is named Hank. Hanksgiving.
SchmidtYou look awesome.
It's a before and after for a Bolivian diet pill.
SchmidtEl Glatrax? Yeah, I've taken that.
I'm "before."
SchmidtSu-sure, you are, look at that.
So you said you wanted to see me for something?
SchmidtYes, I brought you a gift. I hope you appreciate that I have kept eye contact with you this whole time and made no reference to the fact that you are basically naked.
Very proud of you, Schmidt.
Hey, hey. [tongue-kissing Cece]
SchmidtOh, lot of tongue.
Done with her hair?
SchmidtWith her...? No, I'm not the hair guy, man.
Oh, no, no, no, this is my very good friend Schmidt, and he just came by to bring me a gift, so... It's perfume. Why does it say "Cecilia Number 5″?
SchmidtActually, it says that because... you know, I ma... I made it specifically for you. Yeah, I found this place on 3rd Street where you can design your own perfume. Base notes of cocoa because of your brown, uh... ness. Sea salt, because it kind of sounds like Cece. Uh, and sandalwood... Sandalwood... always up to no good.
[giving Schmidt a tour of the makeshift party bus] Over here is kosher yogurt and honey.
SchmidtKosher yog?
We got some condoms over here—small, medium, large, whatever your preference.
SchmidtWell, I would use—
I don't wanna know. And the R-rated section in the back with the stripper pole. It's normally used for stability, but tonight it's gonna be used for $50 worth of seminudity.
SchmidtCoincidentally, I'm wearing my lap dance pants.
SchmidtLook... Kim, this wasn't your standard 2:00 a.m. mistaken assault in the parking garage. I've had a thing for you ever since I was the husky kid in the mailroom. And if... if you don't believe me... here you go. [hands Kim his 2007 New Year's resolutions] Straight from '07. Read resolution number four. It's about you.
[reading from the sheet of paper] "Only think about hot new CFO every other time I masturbate."
It's my first single Valentine's Day in six years, and I... I need to go out, okay? We need to go out. 'Cause I'm feeling pretty twirly.
SchmidtTwirly?
Twirly.
SchmidtIs that like horny?
I got the dirty twirls, Schmidtty. Watch out, 'cause you're about to get laid... world!
