Quotes

Chuck: (About Alex) Still haven’t told Casey yet, huh?
Morgan: No.
Chuck: Well, be careful how you break the news to him. He might kill you accidentally.

Jeff: We wake up in some of the best dumpsters in the city.

Morgan: Once I actually saw him palm an entire watermelon.

Morgan: I’m getting a little nervous actually. I think I’m starting to sweat. Is that normal before a mish? Can I do that? Can I call it a mish?

Morgan: Can you just get Casey back to my apartment in Echo Park? There’s a key under the mat.
Lester: No, no, we got keys.
