Season 1 / Episode 8: - The Break-Up

Dennis Duffy: 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 written letter] 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.

TRIVIA

At Karaoke, Liz sings "Seventeen", the same song that was the first ever musical guest performance on Saturday Night Live.
Frank's trucker hats read "Over Easy," "ESP Tutor," and "Kung Fu Beech."
The day this episode aired Alec Baldwin was nominated for a Golden Globe for Best Lead Actor in a Comedy Series, which he won.
Given his love of New York based sports teams, (in the episode "Subway Hero Liz" insults every one of them to try and upset him) Dennis would have been crying tears of joy at the 1986 world series as the Mets defeated the Red Sox in a tense finish.
