  • Each participant is limited to three quotes.
  • Gus's "magna cum laude" line is called the best quote, and another participant had it too.
  • Three more picks: "Fuck like minks, raise rug rats and live happily ever after"; "She's got a hundred million bucks" and what she does with it; and "You know I don't wear any underwear, don't you, Nick?"
  • The five-point answer is praised as rattled off without hesitation; "Did you really think it was so special?" is a quiet contender.
  • Picks include the Pepsi line continuing the Coke jokes and Nick's five-point answer to the three psychiatrists. — Mallory Rubin
