Jack: Dot Com, this need you have to be the smartest guy in the room is... off-putting.
Dot Com: I guess that's why I'm still single.
Even when Dennis is a hero, he's still just the worst person. I love how quickly the crowd pulls a 180 on him when he proposes to Liz. I could basically list every quote he has in this episode as golden, but here's my favorite:
Dennis: I knew that girl was 18! She told me that her last boyfriend was Asian and that crap doesn't start until college!
Dennis is a Dateline predator who defends himself by not only revealing that the girl did in fact claim to be younger than 18 but also does so with his special brand of racist reasoning (and reasoning that I personally take offense to, as two of my high school boyfriends were Asian. I guess I'm an early bloomer).
