Quotes

Frank Rossitano: OK, so I smoke a little as a stress release. I never told you because I knew you'd lecture me.
Liz Lemon: It is not a lecture to simply point out to someone that the episode of "Diff'rent Strokes" about Dudley's dad has proven incontrovertibly that smoking destroys your health and leads to ridicule from Willis.
