Quotes

Abed Nadir : Shirley, pretend I'm saying this in a soothing, non-robotic voice. We won't make it to the hospital.
Shirley Bennett : I'm gonna have this baby at a hospital with my husband, the father of my baby.
Ben Chang : n which case, what you need to do is elevate your legs over your head while facing the northeast corner of the room. But try not to look at the door, that's bad luck. Chang babies are very superstitious. Also, if you can visualize a rabbit riding a dragon it'll increase his chances of winning lotteries.

Britta Perry : So have you considered natural childbirth?
Shirley Bennett : Are you kidding me? I'll take whatever they got. An epidural is a proper Christian woman's only chance to get wrecked.

Shirley Bennett : Besides, a woman knows these things.
Britta Perry : Women have a connectedness to their bodies that you would never understand.
Jeff Winger : [whispering] You have a booger.
Britta Perry : [starts to check her nose then stops] I know, it's part of me.

Shirley Bennett : Oh, Father, God Almighty, this isn't happening. It's too soon. I don't want my baby's first memory to be Star-Burns.

Shirley Bennett : You said Chang babies all come this way?
Ben Chang : Yup, like a bullet from a gun.
Shirley Bennett : And they're all okay?
Ben Chang : Hell, yeah. More than okay. Super babies. Seven generations of little scrappers born in the worst conditions you can imagine.
Shirley Bennett : Tell me.
Ben Chang : My cousin slid out feet first in a Pickle Barrel. My uncle was born during rainy season in a Mongolian sheep pasture. My brother, born under a crowded noodle bar while my grandfather finished his shrimp. Nothing can stop us. Not the hurricanes, not the communists, not the feds, not the Girl Scouts.
