Zooey Deschanel: Emmy’s Best Lead Actress in a Comedy Series Nominee, 12 Most Memorable Lines in ‘New Girl’
Zooey Deschanel easily earned an Emmy nomination for her leading role in the hit FOX sitcom, "New Girl," which debuted just last year.
As Miss Jessica Day, Deschanel has been described as adorkable - adorable, check; a dork, check. Will the "500 Days of Summer" actress bag the Emmy for the first season of her show?
Socially awkward, impulsive and outspoken, Ms Day doesn't really think of what other people think of her, except when someone slaps her with judgment. (Nick's lawyer-girlfriend acted snotty towards her, and she decides to put her in place.)
Jess tends to try to impose her own rules, but she's never afraid to admit she's done wrong. (Her guy roommates have warned her against disturbing the loft's 'ecosystem,' but she didn't listed.)
The only girl in a loft with three "weirdudes" easily gives off some I'm-too-prude vibes. But she can get lewd and "twirly" too. And when she does, she always ends up with some hilarious anecdotal moment.
Here are 12 of the Most Memorable Lines of Jessica Day from "New Girl" Season 1. Fans will know the stories behind these lines:
Jess [to Nick]: How's the new apartment? Does it smell like new paint and compromise? (Episode 24: "See Ya")
Jess: You've all thought about me while self-completing!? (Episode 19: "Secrets")
Jess: I have to go out tonight, 'cause I'm feeling pretty twirly. (Episode 13: "Valentine's Day")
Jess: My initial thought was to get him a gift certificate for piping hot sex. But I don't want him to think I'm using him for his body. (Episode 9: "The 23rd")
Jess: I messed up. He ran away, he got scared.
Winston: Why would he get scared?
Jess: Because I choked him. I lightly choked him. (Episode 8: "Bad in Bed")
Jess: I'm not like you! I don't just jump in the potato sack, with the first potato that I meet with diabetes! (Episode 5: "Cece Crashes")
Jess: I saw Nick's pipi. And his bubbles (Episode 4: "Nick is Naked")
Jess: We just started dating so were still in that honeymoon phase. I barely sleep. So much doing it. (Episode 3: "Wedding")
Jess: No! I can't call Spencer I haven't talked to him since he cheated on me with that ho! Actually, that's not fair. She might be a really nice ho. (Episode 2: "Kryptonite")
Schmidt: You consider me a sexy man, correct?
Jess: I don't know how to answer that question (Episode 2: "Kryptonite")
Jess: Who's that girl? It's Jess.
Nick: Did you just make up a theme song for yourself? (Episode 1: "Pilot")
