- Eleanor Shellstrop: [to Tahani about Jianyu] He's a simple man. I once watched him eat electrical tape right off the roll. He thought it was a Fruit by the Foot that had gone bad.
- Michael: Listen, I don't need the Chidi who once had a panic attack during rock-paper-scissors because there were, and I quote, 'just too many variables'. I need the Chidi who stormed in here and told me to stop Eleanor's train! Without thinking of consequences!
- Chidi Anagonye: Oh boy. Now I'm nervous about that decision.
- Michael: Retroactively? I mean, how do you even...
- Chidi Anagonye: [shaking his head] I don't know.
- Young Uzo: Come on, Chidi, pick someone.
- Young Chidi: Don't pressure me, Uzo. I have to consider all the factors. Athletic strategies, the fragile egos of my classmates, and gender politics. Should I pick a girl as a gesture towards women's equality, or... or is that pandering? Or do I think it's pandering because of my limited male point of view? I'm vexed, Uzo, vexed.
- Young Uzo: You're always vexed. Just pick.
