Best character
I know Schmidt is a bit of an idiot and he says some weird stuff, but he was genuinely supportive when Cece thought she was pregnant. We all know by now that he’s a good guy who really loves her. I mean dude wrote ‘marry me’ in the sky and they weren’t actually dating yet.

Best quotes and one liners
SARAH: Your eyes are so brown. They look like poop.
NICK: Be honest with me… do my eyes look like poo?
SCHMIDT: There’s a bit of a, a poopy-ish hue.
JESS: Old poo eyes.
SARAH: You don’t understand… I love Nick so, so, so much. He’s so hot, I’m going to die. JESS: Sarah, Nick is way too old for you. I live with him. He is dirty and weird. No, no, no, no… Sarah, not Nick’s room. It’s not well-ventilated in there.
SARAH: Your life’s like Gossip Girl, only everyone is old and poor.
JESS: You know, there actually was a show like that. It was called Golden Girls. I’m Betty White, Schmidt’s Rue McClanahan…
SARAH: Don’t you think Nick is hot?
JESS: Nick? Um… yeah, in a rumpled, small-town P.I. kind of way.
Final thoughts and fun facts
We can all relate to Sarah in this episode, right? Jake Johnson is DILF of the year (always for me) right now. Absolutely everyone is in love with him.
Jess tells Nick that he may as be called the book Bridge to Terabithia because he makes children cry. Zooey Deschanel starred in the 2007 movie adaptation of Bridge to Terabithia where she also plays a teacher.
