I was rummaging around the 30 Rock board over on IMDB, and came across a compiled list of 30 Rock’s Emmy Submissions for this year (Thanks Pudster!). For those of you that don’t have access to the board, here are this year’s submissions:

What do you think?

TV Shows on DVD is reporting that 30 Rock’s First Season DVD set has finally been announced. Universal Studios Entertainment will be releasing the set on September 4th. We can expect a three disc set, and an MSRP of $49.98.

It was just yesterday that I checked Amazon looking for the same information, and came up empty-handed. With any luck, they’ll get that changed soon so I can my pre-order all lined up.

Jack: I had “lunch” with Martha Stewart and “dinner” with her daughter Alexis.
Liz: Gross.

Jack: Lemon, I want to thank you. For showing me that I could have a pleasant evening with a woman my age.
Liz: I’m twelve years younger than you.
Jack: A woman your age then.

Jack: Just to know she’s filled with bile over me warms my heart.

Jenna: Gerhardt, would you like to dance?
Gerhardt: Sadly because my body does not produce joint fluid, I cannot.

Girl: (to Pete) Your name sounds Jewish. You must be important.

Bianca: Congratulations John, she’s much sharper than the other girl you had what was her name?
Jack: Beyonce.

Jenna Maroney: THE “The Hair?”

Jack: This year I’ll be a page for a day, and you’ll be my boss.
Kenneth: Thank you, sir.
Jack: That’s how the “Bottoms-Up” program works. I’m going to be your bottom Kenneth, and I want you to ride me as hard as you can.

Kenneth: …more than jazz or musical theatre or morbid obesity, television is the true American art form. Think of all the shared experiences television has provided for us; from the moon landing to the Golden Girls finale; from Walter Cronkite denouncing Vietnam to Oprah putting that trash bag of fat in the wagon…

Jack: Look, Tracy - I can’t just give you money. But what I can do is show you how you can earn all the money you need. You must know Arsenio …
Tracy Jordan: Hall or Billingham?
Jack: You know someone named Arsenio Billingham?
Tracy Jordan: No.

Tracy: (to Grizz) I forgot about that Worldcom mess, why you gotta be so obsessed with telecommunications?

Tracy: I need sixty-thousand dollars, or I’m gonna lose my house.
Jack: Which house?
(Tracy thinks to himself)
Tracy: I need a hundred-thousand dollars, or I’m gonna lose both my houses.
Jack: Tracy, I don’t understand. You’ve starred in fourteen film. You don’t have any money saved?
Tracy: No, I lost all of it.
Jack: Really? Who’s your money manager?
Tracy: Grizz.
Grizz: Worldcom, man. Worldcom.

Tracy Jordan: [answering phone] Yo!
Josh Girard: [impersonating Jack Donaghy] Tracy. It’s Jack Donaghy. I hear we have a problem with Josh Girard.
Tracy Jordan: Damn right! Keeps impersonating me! Makin’ me into a caricature!
Josh Girard: Well, I would take care of this if I could. But it’s tricky. You see, Josh’s father’s an assassin with the Russian mafia. They call him “El Matador.”
Tracy Jordan: Whoooa. Those dudes are crazy. Forget it. I don’t need any of that noise.
Josh Girard: It happies me to hear you say that. For being so understanding, I’m sending you our new, super-top-secret invisible motorcycle.
Tracy Jordan: For reals?
Josh Girard: [laughing slightly] For realsies. Now if you’ll excuse me, I need to see a doctor. I keep pooping during sex.

Jack: Guess where I was last night?
Liz Lemon: Mark Foley’s sleepover party?

Dennis: I’m moving into my new apartment so I’ve got one last thing to say to you and I’ll be out of your life forever.
[Reading from a letter he’s written]
Dennis: Dear Liz Lemon: While other women have bigger boobs than you, no other woman has as big a heart. When I saw you getting ready to go out and get nailed by a bunch of guys last night, I knew for sure it was over between us, and for the first time since the ‘86 World Series, I cried… I cried like a big, dumb homo. And if it was up to me, we’d be together forever. But there’s a new thing called “women’s liberation”, which gives you women the right to choose and you have chosen to abort me, and that I must live with. So tonight, when you arrive home, I’ll be gone. I officially renounce my squatter’s rights.

Tracy Jordan: Where your feet at, blue man?

Jack: We’ll get to your problem in a minute. Have you had a chance to think of my zinger?
Liz Lemon: [annoyed] “Well, it’s almost Thanksgiving, everybody, and I know what this crowd’s giving thanks for: estate tax reform!”
Jack: HAHAHA! That is terrific! I really enjoyed that. But do you think it’s too topical? Damn, I wish this event were tonight.
Liz Lemon: It’s not tonight? When is it?
Jack: February.
Liz Lemon: Why are you wearing a tux?
Jack: It’s after 6! What am I, a farmer?

(more…)

Jack: What is your contingency plan for a crap storm of this magnitude?

Liz Lemon: Okay, very funny. You bought a pager from Dennis. Will you take it off now, please?
Jack:  Oh, I can’t. I’m expecting a call from 1983.

Tracy [angry at being called “Normal” in a magazine]: That’s character assassination! That’s not normal! It only looks like I’m walking out of a Starbucks when actually I’m doing the robot going backwards into a Starbucks! And I don’t even know who dog that is. Yes, I steal dogs!

Dennis: Dennis Duffy, Beeper King.
Jack: That’s a sharp tie you’ve got there Dennis.
Dennis: That douchebag up front made me wear it.
Jack: Does he know you’re the Beeper King?
Dennis: I don’t think so.
Liz: This is clearly the nicest restaurant we’ve ever been to.
Dennis: Hold on a second, this place ain’t that nice, alright. It’s got rats and roaches like every other restaurant.
Liz: No rat talk tonight, okay.
Dennis: (to Jack) You know there are 17 million rats per person in Manhattan? You eat a pound of rat crap every year without even knowing it.
Jack: I think I read about that in The New Yorker. (pause) Um, anyway, we’ll leave you two to your meal. I hope you enjoy the choices that you’ve made.

Liz Lemon: Tracy took advantage of my white guilt, which is to be used only for good like overtipping and supporting Barack Obama.

Tracy Jordan: I can’t read, Liz Lemon. My shameful secret is out! Now you know why I’m always running into the ladies bathroom. I can’t read! I sign my name with an X! I once tried to make mashed potatoes with laundry detergent! I think I voted for Nader! NADER!
