Even if this was a list of the top 100 quotes from the New Girl episode “Jess and Julia” we’d still have trouble whittling it down to our absolute favorites. The FOX comedy is just that funny.

But we’ve accomplished the impossible, so prepare to pee your pants. Again.

13. She does have scary-big eyes
Jess (Zooey Deschanel): Oh, I didn’t know I was doing a thing.

11. Girls create humidity? Who knew
Schmidt (Max Greenfield), to Jess and Julia while getting out of the shower: Damp towel, damp! It’s like a really big wet nap. I feel like I’m being licked by a golden retriever. Look at this bathroom. There should not be two girls in this bathroom. You’re too humid.

10. It’s Schmidt’s duck call
Gina (Michaela Watkins), to Schmidt: Did you just hear the phrase “lesbian community” and come running out of your room?
