The rooftop moment where Jake fell in love with Amy

Most of the main cast of "Brooklyn Nine-Nine" sat down with Hulu while filming the final season to describe their favorite moments from the show. Melissa Fumero's favorite moment was the rooftop scene between her and her costar Andy Samberg. The moment, found in Season 1, Episode 13, "The Bet," features Jake and Amy on a rooftop during a late-night stakeout. They spent most of the night together and have meaningful conversations about Jake's car, nuts, and the bet they had between them. The two bond while on the rooftop, and Jake even declines Captain Holt's offer to send other officers to relieve them so he can spend more time with Amy.

"The rooftop scene with Andy for 'The Bet.' This was sort of this quintessential Jake and Amy moment, and we really wanted to get it right, but we actually just really had fun shooting it," Fumero reminisced to Hulu (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tGgK7ps963c&t=243s). "And we just laughed so much, and it was like late at night, and we were downtown and loopy. You know, I think that's the stuff I'm going to remember is like the late-night shoots, and the weird locations, and the long days, but where you're just laughing with your castmates and feel really lucky that you get to work with such fun people."

Many of her fellow cast members chose comedic moments, or moments of cultural importance, as their favorites from the show's tenure. Fumero took a slightly different approach and decided on a moment she not only enjoyed filming but that played a significant role in her character's development — and Fumero's relationship with her costars.
