Amy Poehler: Oh I havent really looked back at that since I got my adult braces and my glass eye.

Rachel Dratch: Oh, uh, Camerons claiming she was homely in high school.
Tina Fey: Oh boy! Beth, could you fire up that picture of me from the Upper Darby Community Service Cour.

Tina Fey: Case closed, my lovelies, case closed.
(Tina sort of bows and then walks off in front of them)
Cameron Diaz: Okay, fine! I didnt want to do this okay, but the summer before my junior year, I straightened my hair and I had a nose job.
All: Really?
Cameron Diaz: This is what I looked like before that.
