Quotes
Natalie: (in tears) I broke the car. Again!

Sam: (to candidate) You sir, are a nub.

Freddie: Hey,

Natalie: Hey,

Freddie: Can I sit here,

Natalie: Sure,

(long silence)

Freddie: So, why did you quit?

Natalie: Cause I'm clumsy!

Freddie: Sam is obnoxious, Carly is clueless and I'm a geek, but we don't stop.

Natalie: I don't belong between the three of you.

Freddie (sits closer to Natalie): Oh believe me, you belong here.

Natalie: But... You've been together like... forever and I'm like just looking.

Freddie: Maybe, but you're already a viable member of iCarly. If you're not there, everybody will miss you. Carly and Sam will miss you, the audience will miss you, Gibby will miss you and...

Natalie: And what?

Freddie: I will miss you.

Natalie: Really?

Freddie: Really, you might be new, but to me it's like you've always been a member to the team. So you're coming back?

Natalie: I don't know.

Freddie (puts on pouty lips): Please, for me?

Natalie (smiles): I'll think about it. Thanks Freds.

Freddie: Anytime Nat.
