    Best line was " just like rubbing alcohol is for outside wounds, drinking alcohol is for inside wounds" or something to that effect.

    So stupid. They already went down that path, just leave it alone.

    They are much better writers than that.

    AVC: Are you leaving the door open for a potential reconciliation between these two characters as well?

    EM: I’ve said this before, and I’m sticking by it: Their relationship is the center of the show, and I think we proved this season that it’s not the entire show. We proved that there are a lot of ways the show can go—and the fact that this group of friends is so strong. There’s so much comedy with Nick with the guys or Nick with Schmidt.

    But on the other hand, the emotional center of the show is the Nick-Jess relationship. I don’t know if that means it’s going to be back to them dating. I love their twisty, turn-y relationship, their romance that is very up and down. I want that door to be open. I don’t think it’s ever going to be easy for them, but I do think it’s an area that we’re going to go back into. You’ll have to watch to find out how, I guess. [Laughs.] There’s something there between them that hasn’t been fully resolved yet.

    And I think the finale acknowledges that, under the surface this year, there was more going on between the characters—and that they were both trying to pretend like there wasn’t, trying to get over the relationship. I think that’s true in any breakup. A year had passed and this is sort of that moment when you would think that you’re safe, and then realize that you’re not safe. [Laughs.]

    I love them as a couple, and I love them together, and I love writing them. I’m just not totally sure what direction it should go in yet. There’ve been a lot of ideas about that on Twitter, directed at me. [Joking.] So I’m taking a vote on Twitter.

    AVC: [Also joking.] Like all the great sitcoms, you’re making decisions through crowdsourcing.

    EM: [Still joking.]We’re crowdsourcing where Nick and Jess should go, so get on Twitter! [No longer joking.] No. Please don’t.

    We want it to be organic, we want it to feel real for the characters. I had a lot of fun working on the show this year, and I think there was something good about going away from it for a while. I think it was good for the characters, it was good to remember what else is going on in their lives. And also to remember what Nick and Jess are like as friends, when they’re just helping each other out.

    Also.....
    Zooey will be sequestered in a jury to explain her absense during next season, and Fawn may make a comeback.

    Do you know how you're going to navigate the lack of Zooey?

    Jess gets sequestered on a jury. The idea behind it was to be able to do those pastel courtroom sketches, so you could still see her in the jury. It's a little weird, but we're having fun with it. It's a way to have all of the guys check in with her. They watch the news reports on the trial. And they show being set in L.A., this is a city where celebrities get into trouble and juries really do get sequestered.

    Any nerves about going so long without your title character?

    Without the New Girl? (Laughs.) The first episode without her is actually called "No Girl." I think in the first or second season, it would have been hard, but now it feels like this creative opportunity to learn more about the other characters. And it's a little bit of a challenge. People are going to be asking, "How are they going to pull this off?" I'm kind of asking that question of myself. I directed the first episode without Zooey, that's the last one we shot this year, and it's really funny. It's a guys' episode. It's an opportunity to stretch ourselves... Or it will be a total disaster, and then she'll come back.

    When did you know you'd be losing Damon at the end of the season?

    We found out in the middle of the season. He's really special. In some ways, how funny he is can distract you from what an incredible actor he is. He can go big and broad, but when we did the May [Meaghan Rath] story in the episode right before the finale, he's emotional and tells this really compelling love story. He would hate me saying this. I'm very sorry to see him go, but having already shot the first four [episodes] of season five, there's also this nice return to our original cast. There's more time in the script to invest in each of the characters. I'm excited to learn more about Cece in season five. I don't think we've always had that over the year.

    Is the Cece-Schmidt relationship going to stick this time?

    It felt like we'd done a lot of back-and-forth between both Schmidt and Cece, and Nick and Jess. It felt important to say that we're going to commit to one of these relationships. We also really love Schmidt and Cece together. They're funny. It felt like a way of generating story and comedy. Schmidt, in our idea for the season, becomes obsessed with the wedding planning in the way that, stereotypically, a woman would. He is very focused on throwing the best wedding of all time. Cece, having gone through it already, is not as into it. It feels like they're growing up. Nick owning a piece of the bar and Schmidt being engaged, it's the forward movement that I think we needed.

    As much as it's nice to see Schmidt and Cece together, Fawn Moscato was a welcome addition.

    Oh god, she's so good. Zoe Lister Jones is so good. It was such a victory for us. Obviously, keeping Schmidt and Cece apart has been tough. You know that they're going to end up getting together, and we knew we wanted to end the year with Schmidt proposing, but we needed something to really be in their way these last episodes. We struck gold with Zoe, and what was great is that we were allowed to get a little bit more negative with her character. She's not hateful, but she's outrageous. We just didn't want the audience to feel that bad for her when it was over. I'm trying to figure out a way to bring her back. I think we can do it, if she's up for it.

    She sort of came out of nowhere.

    One of my favorite moments was in episode 20. She's on the phone with someone during the Panty Gate fallout, and she goes, "You're a dad. Why are you laughing?" And then Zoe threw in "You're my dad!"

    The show barely touched on Nick and Jess' breakup this season. Was it important for you to revisit it in the finale?

    It was tough at the beginning of season four, because we didn't want to do anything about their breakup or either of them being bummed. We wanted to go away from that, reboot the show a little bit and invest in what else was going on in their lives. The finale was our way of saying that all of this has been going on, we just haven't done episodes about it. They've been struggling with this throughout the year but keeping it under wraps. This is the moment where it came to the surface. To me, it's not a cliffhanger. There's nothing looming over their heads. It's just an organic acknowledgment that this is a complicated relatonship. It's not clear yet, and it's not over yet. That's where I wanted to be going into season five.

    The way(s) Schmidt looks at the donations guy after he asks "You Jewish?" is one of the best silences in any sitcom. Just amazing.

    Fox is delaying next season until Jan 2016 due to Zooey's pregnancy.

    Sucks that we'll have to wait but I like that we'll be getting the whole season virtually interrupted.

    you can tell they are really moving away from her being the center of the show after they changed the theme and intro. no lyrics and it is a collage of everyone

    nick/schmidt/winston is a killer combo and i'm glad the writers recognize that
