Talking Funniest line from "The New Girl - Part 1"

I generally am not a really big Mrs. G fan (she annoys me), but I think that the coveted award of funniest line in an already very funny episode goes to her:

"Would you girls like a bowl of Meow Mix?"

I am working that one into my repertoire! LOL

I thought it was funny when they were in the bar, and Jo was like, "Blair, this is no way to come on to a guy." And when Mrs. G. told Blair, "...and a boy got her into some trouble..." and Blair got this big grin like, "ohhhhh." That was funny.

There was actually a good line in there that n@n cut out when they're at the bar.

JO: Two breskis.
BLAIR: Make that one brewski, I'll have a beer.

And who could forget Arnold's line?

ARNOLD: At the rate we're going I'll be 90 before we get it on!

OMG the whole episode was so damn funny! I loved Arnold in this episode! I have a ton of fav. quotes from it, so here we go:

"Arnold, you have to give the cook back his lobster!" Mrs. G
"I'm not gonna let him boil my friend Claude! He's to cute to die!" Arnold

"She must think we're in to nostalgia. She's still wearing flared jeans!" Blair
"Uh, in a minute you're gonna be wearin' flared teeth!" Jo

"Would you girls like a bowl of meow mix?" Mrs. G

"She's a breath of fresh air, isn't she?" Nat

"Any man would prefer a Rolls Royce to a motorbike" Blair
"This is gonna get goooood" Tootie
"It's true you're like a Rolls Royce hood ornament. But guys don't dig angels dipped in chrome" Jo
"Did I lie?!" Tootie

"Are you leaving Arnold? Good, now us girls can have some girl talk!" Tootie
"Now how'd that happen?" Arnold
(Tootie shakes his hand)
"She touched my hand. I'll never wash it again" Arnold
"That's sweet, Arnold"
"No big deal, I wasn't gonna wash it anyway. Later Baby--Willis told me to say that." (winks) "That's mine" Arnold

"I've been here six hours and I only spent six minutes with Tootie! At this rate I'll be ninety before we get it on!" Arnold

"I don't believe it, I just don't believe it--it's gone!" Mrs. G
"In sixty seconds, give or take twenty minutes of fussing and cussing" Arnold

"Great, we'll be ready" Tootie
"We? Would you care to explain?" Blair
"Sure. We is the first person plural pronoun of you. Nat and I are a we, and we are going with you" Tootie

"You're easy" Officer
"Aye!" Jo

"So they sipped a little beer..." Mrs. G
"That's an offense" Officer
"So they used a fake ID" Mrs. G
"That's another offense!" Officer
"But it's not a crime to sneak away from school. Of course to steal the van is a crime" Mrs. G
"They stole a van?" Officer
"Borrowed! Borrowed, don't put words in my mouth!" Mrs G

Tons others... pretty much the entire episode!

"Childish? Childish? Coming from a grown woman who throws tea parties for her stuffed cat!" -Laverne

You know what I find hilarious from this episode? It's when Natalie says "I almost invited him to the dance" and Jo is prepared to back slap her. Natalie's reaction to Jo's advance is so funny. I can't explain it but it had me cracking up.

This episode was good, and there's still a whole other part to go! Now I've always been saying how Blair was such a bitch in the early seasons (whoch I enjoy) but after veiwing this episode again, Jo was WAY worse than her. Blair even tried to apologize! Jo just doesn't really take too well to any hint of kindness. She wasn't exactly best friends with Tootie or Natalie right away either. I just thought this was funny after we talked about how mean Blair was, but Jo was definitely right up there.

And ANY of you who have not seen "Double Standard" the episode airing at 4:30 in the morning, I HIGHLY resommend that you stay up, or wake up, or tape it or something because it's REALLY good.

Glad someone brought up all of Tootie's good lines too. This is probably one of her best episodes ever.

That episode was good, but the sencond half is better. My favorite qoutes...

(Blair is in an argument with the officer)
Jo: Blair, this is not the way to come onto a guy.

Blair: Tootie, you can't come with us, we could never pass you as 18.
Nat: We could look through the window.
Tootie: Just remember, you leave me and you leave my mouth.
Jo: Would she squeal?
Blair: Are you kidding? Around here she is know as "Speak Up America"!

Blair: She must think we're in Nostalgia, she's still wearing flare jeans.
Jo: In a minute you're gonna be wearin' flare teeth.

Blair: I guess I care to much about my looks
Jo: And me not enough.
(Later)
Blair: My Jordashes are your Jordashes.
Jo: Good, so you don't mind if I take them in?

This episode is my Favorite one! Here's some of my favorite lines:

Jo: Blair, this is not the way to come on to a guy

Arnold: I've been here 6 hours and only spent 6 minutes with Tootie. At this rate I'll be 90 before we get it on!

Jo: (got Blair's hand dirty) "oh, hey, your hand's dirty, you'd better go get it steam cleaned, or something"!

Nat: She had you fooled, I was gonna ask her to the fall dance!

Aside from the "2 brews" line that was cut, NAN also cut the part in which Mrs. Garrett and the girls was leaving the cell and are walking out....Tootie walked back to the cell and asked the Guard:

Tootie: Is the door locked?
Guard: Yes.
Tootie: Is it locked good?
Gaurd:Yeees.
Tootie taunting the tough girl in cell) So long, Turkey!(The tough girl tries to grab for Tootie thru the door, then Tootie runs)

How could this funny line be cut. Other than the fact Blair hits Margo with the pie, this IMO would be the funniest part of the show.

By the way,I thought the tough girl was really funny and made the most out the scene with the limited airtime that she had to work with.
