Reporter: After the deposition, Kathy Geiss’s lawyer had this rebuttal.
Teddy Ruxpin: My name is Teddy Ruxpin. Can you and I be friends?
Jack: Do you ever regret having children?
Tracy: Every day! I thought having a family was going to be like The Cosby Show. “Oh no, Vanessa went to a concert.” “Oh no, Rudy and I are making a sandwich for 25 minutes.” The Cosby Show is a lie. Having a family can be the worst. For example, I have this strip club story from this weekend that I need to tell you, Jackie D. It is disgusting. But I can’t, because I got this little d-bag here.
Tracy Jr.: I know what that means.
Tracy: And yet you won’t tell me.

Kenneth: Ms. Lemon! As I’m sure you know, it is Green Week! And NBC—
Liz: Oh brother, are they actually going to do something this year or are they just gonna put that stupid green peacock in the corner of the screen?
Tracy Jordan: I'm gonna make you a mix tape. You like Phil Collins?
Jack Donaghy: I've got two ears and a heart, don't I?

Jenna: Here’s what you’re gonna do. Remember that horrible roommate you had back in Chicago?
Liz: You mean you?
*flash*
Jenna: I know it’s my turn to do the dishes but I’m in character and if you make me do the dishes I will kill myself!
— 4.06: Sun Tea
Brian: Hey, Liz, I made you a mailbox key.
Liz: So is that all you have to say to me? That’s how you apologize?!
Brian: What? What did I do?
Liz: What do you care? Whatever, Brian, I am over it!
Brian: Over what?
Liz: IIIIIIIIITTTTTTTTT!!! Oh, I’m sorry, is it too much drama? You remind me of my father and my boyfriend. Are you listening to me?! Because if you are not I will put on a wedding dress and jump in front of the subway!!
Brian: Honey, you don’t have to tell me how much men suck. Sit down and tell me everything while I make use raspberry mojitos.
Liz: You’re gay?!
30 Rock, 4x06 Sun Tea
Q: Did you want to be the star of 30 Rock, or would you have preferred to remain behind the scenes?
Tina Fey: My original deal was to create a show for NBC as a writer only, but when we came up with this idea, I figured, why not? Let's take a shot. Well, not at first. Before I said yes, I talked to Amy Poehler and asked her, "Am I getting too old for this? Do people want to see me anymore?" She helped me think like a male comedian. When Ray Romano and Jerry Seinfeld got their shows, I don't think they had a moment like, "Am I god enough to do this?" I need to stop worrying so much about what other people think.

Tina Fey: There’s an episode of 30 Rock that brings me a lot of joy. After Jack contracts bedbugs, which he’s in denial about -“I can’t have bedbugs; I went to Princeton”- he goes and sings “This Little Light Of Mine” with buskers on a train. It’s just such a sweet moment, because Alec Baldwin is at play. It’s the same thing he brought to the episode last season where he played a character in a telenovela: No one’s going to sell it like him. It’s rare to find someone who is a skilled, legit actor who can also be funny. There’s a rhytm and a precision needed for jokes to work, and so some of the people who are supergood at giving raw emotional performances can’t land a joke. Of course, in the beginning of 30 Rock, having a star like him made it harder to cancel the show, because you’d be foolish to miss an opportunity to have this guy on TV. And he’s become a magnet for the writing staff. We want to push him to do impressions we know he can do. It’s like playing pickup basketball - the more you score, the more you get the ball. He knows and I know and NBC knows that there’s no show without him.
