Its rare that Nick demonstrates the guile or desire to make something memorable out of his life. Indeed, when he does indulge in a little extra effort, its usually to earn the affections of beautiful women, but there was a brief period when he altered his modus operandi and it was all down to another man; Jess one-time boyfriend, Russell. Labelled Fancyman by the loft, Nick becomes smitten with the wealthy Russells way of life; his clothes, his picturesque house, his pristine wooden desk, his laissez-faire giving away of expensive smartphones. Its an adoration that transcends his vehement hatred for the upper classes, their decadence and affiliation to the system, disrupting his extremely convincing uber-Marxist leanings. After occupying Russells office for less than five minutes, he claims to understand the motives behind hunting and feels a heightening of his own sexual capabilities. The scene where he attempts to rescue Jess from Fancymans pond ranks amongst the finest in the New Girl canon, his removing of the sweater given to him by Russell (with strict instructions to fold not hang') before continuing his mission is absolutely hilarious. We are also offered a gleeful glimpse into how a money-backed Nick would conduct his affairs. Sitting behind Russells desk, he barks orders down a telephone: Its President Miller of Earth. Id like to speak to the Galactic Emperor...yeah its about the money. Please somebody make this happen.
