Netflix series Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt is ah-maze-ing and provided us with many, many laughs.
The show was created by Tina Fey and Robert Carlock and follows Kimmy, played by Ellie Kemper, as she starts her live over in New York after being locked in a bunker for 15 years.
The programme also stars Tituss Burgess as Titus Andromedon, Kimmy’s camp roommate, Carol Kane as Lillian, her landlord, and Jane Krakowski as Jacqueline Voohees, a rich socialite who Kimmy works for as a nanny for Jacqueline’s son Buckley.
So, to celebrate the upcoming return of the show, we’ve put together a list of memorable quotes from series one of the show.
The best moments from Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt
Lillian on Kimmy’s roommate Titus
Lillian: Titus is a very very sweet boy. A little crusty on the outside, but a soft heart, like a wonderful French roll, but black. It’s gonna be wonderful for him to have a roommate because he’s very isolated, but so talented, but disillusioned, but a genius and he’s single, but very gay and he doesn’t know I placed the ad.
Jacqueline’s approach to life
Jacqueline: You’ll need to get here by 6:00 every morning to wake Buckley up for school, then get me up at 10:00, but don’t wake me up.
Titus isn’t one to hold his tongue...
Titus: You got a secret.
Kimmy: What?
Titus: You moved to New York City today with a bag full of cash, no stuff, and what is clearly a wig. Somebody in here got beans. Spill them.
Kimmy: Okay. Well, the truth is, I’m from Indiana—
Titus: Oh, okay. That explains why you’re so basic. Say no more.
Or his gas...
Kimmy: So what do you want to do tonight?
Titus: Honestly? Listen to Diana Ross albums alone while I do my stretches to alleviate my gas.
Kimmy: We should go out, to celebrate! I mean, I got a job today. I got an apartment. I met you.
Titus: I envy you. I’ve never been able to meet me.
Kimmy: Come on, we should go dancing someplace cool, like Club Bombay from Moesha.
Titus: Whoo! Things are behind in Indiana.
Kimmy isn’t up to date with the news...
Kimmy: We are going to pay the rent, I’m gonna get my job back, and I’m going to kiss a boy. And you are going to sing at the Grammys with Whitney Houston and Michael Jackson.
Titus: Bad examples, but yes!
Kimmy on her past...
Kimmy: I can’t do this, Reverend Richard was right!
Titus: Wait, who?
Kimmy: Reverend Richard Wayne Gary Wayne, senior prophet and CFO of Savior Rick’s Spooky Church of the Scary Apocalypse.
Titus: Foo?
Kimmy: I am one of the Indiana Mole Women.
Titus: From the news? Why didn’t you tell me?
Kimmy: Because I just want to be a normal person, and I can’t. I don’t know anything. I can’t tell phones from cameras. Even policemen have tattoos!
She’s down to earth...
Kimmy: What in the ham sandwich? I just got a job!
Charles: Please tell me that you’re normal. I need someone here to talk to.
Kimmy: Oh, I’m very normal. I’ve had everything normal happen to me.
Kimmy is multi-talented
Jacqueline: This is Charles. He’s a tutor. He’ll help you do Buckley’s homework. Also, it’s Buckley’s birthday tomorrow so you’ll need to make a cake that’s cute but also paleo.
She likes sweets...
Kimmy (to a candy store employee): Hi, I’m Kimmy. I’m a big fan of your products, particularly the shark gummies, which I hadn’t seen elsewhere. And I’m interested in any employment opportunities that you might have.
A brush with the law...
Kimmy (sees Buckley, wearing a full suit, stealing a candy bar from a street vendor): Hey! I saw you steal this! Where is your grown-up? Are you alone? Or are you some kind of tiny businessman, sir?
Buckley (running away): STRANGER DANGER!
Kimmy: I’m not stranger danger. I’m a stranger danger ranger!
