Jessie/Funny

Everything About Fiction You Never Wanted to Know.


  • This exchange between the landlady and Zuri in "The Talented Mr. Kipling":

Landlady: You people have a vicious, cold-blooded reptile living in this building?.
Zuri: Why not? You live here.

    • Same episode:

Jessie: All my boyfriends have to be at least 18. *looks at Mr. Kipling* And human.
Emma: So Luke, you're 0 for 2.

  • When Ravi gets a mystical eyeball app on his computer:

Ravi: Bertram, we have terrible news!
Bertram: Your parents are having another kid?
Ravi: No. You are going to get hurt doing the splits, choke on stuffing, and then get carried away by a dark, shadowy figure at 6:22 tomorrow!
Bertram: You figured all that out by asking yes or no questions?
Zuri: We asked a lot of questions.
Bertram: Well, I have a prediction. An incredibly handsome man will tap-dance out of the kitchen! *tap dances out of kitchen and does a tongue expression*

    • Later in the same ep:

Bertram: I'm not going to get hurt doing the splits. *slips on a banana peel, then lands in a split pose* Ow!

Ravi: It said he would get hurt doing the splits, and he is doing the splits! (beat)

Zuri: And he was eating a banana split!

Ravi: A double split!

Bertram: Meanwhile, I'm splitting my pants!

Ravi and Zuri: A TRIPLE SPLIT!

    • And at the end of the ep:

Ravi: I guess a 3 dollar computer application cannot hold the answer to all of life's mysteries.
Jessie: Yeah. *beat* Those cost 4.99!

    • One of Creepy Connie's voice mails:

Connie: Hey Luke! It's nanny Jessie! Yip-pi-ee kai-yay... ok fine, it's Connie.

  • When Jessie freaks out on the subway:

Emma: People are staring. And in New York, that's saying something.

  • When Jessie is making a film for her friend Darla:

Mrs. Chesterfield: Marla! Your friend is a terrible nanny! She couldn't take care of a bowl of sea monkeys.
Jessie: Hey! I'll have you know that all of my sea monkeys died of natural causes! (Beat) ...And a thirsty cat.

  • From "Used Karma" cue Zuri escorting Luke into the screening room.

Zuri: The Great Ravi will see you now.
Ravi: Luke. I have been expecting you.
Luke: What is all this?
Ravi: You have just entered my lair.
Luke: Dude, it's the screening room.
Ravi: True, but it doubles as my lair.
Luke: Okay, isn't a lair usually underground-
Ravi: I TELL YOU, IT IS A LAIR!
Zuri: (whispers to Luke) Just go with it.
Luke: Not the point. I need your help with my bad karma.
Ravi: I will help you, but first... admit to me this is a lair.

  • This line from "The Princess and the Pea Brain":

Brody: How did you ever get to be a butler?

Bertram: Well, I wanted to be an obnoxious rich kid, but the job was filled.
