Mr. Knightley is my favorite male character from Jane Austen’s Emma. To me, he is a paradigm of what it is to be a Gentleman.

I know exactly how that is. To love somebody who doesn’t deserve it. Because they are all you have. Because any attention is better than no attention. For exactly the same reason, it is sometimes satisfying to cut yourself and bleed. On those gray days where eight in the morning looks no different from noon and nothing has happened and nothing is going to happen and you are washing a glass in the sink and it breaks-accidentally-and punctures your skin. And then there is this shocking red, the brightest thing in the day, so vibrant it buzzes, this blood of yours. That is okay sometimes because at least you know you’re alive.

Daria: Well, that advice should prove very helpful. Sometimes your shallowness is so thorough, it's almost like depth.

Quinn: Thanks.

Damn you, Liz Lemon.

Angie: I’m sorry you want me to perform in this?

Liz: Yeah, you’re Amy Grant from the “Baby Baby” video. The one where the man likes her at that carnival.

Angie: That’s some white nonsense.

Liz: Too bad Tracy’s not here to take your side. He’d be like “Damn you, Liz Lemon.”
