->'''Rebecca:''' Think about how this story has played out. So I move to West Covina, in love with someone else, and he's the sarcastic, messed up bartender that calls me out on my stuff, and I ignore him, but we have undeniable chemistry. And now Josh and I break up and it's about me and Greg. I mean, duh! It's the other guy! It's the guy who was under my nose all along, that I under-appreciated. I mean, him and me getting together It's the most obvious thing in the world.

"The Math of Love Triangles" (sung by Rachel Bloom)

"Period Sex" (sung by Rachel Bloom)

** Genius Bonus: although the video is as noted below a parody of "Diamond's Are a Girl's Best Friend", Monroe in the film didn't actually sing that song in the dumb voice Bloom uses; but [[http://www.avclub.com/tvclub/crazy-ex-girlfriend-flips-destiny-bird-245457 at least one critic noted]] that Bloom's delivery is partly modelled on that of Carol Channing, who created the role in the original stage version.

* Another genius bonus: Triangles do in fact have [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Triangle_center many different centers]], but that's not something usually taught in high school geometry.

** [[spoiler: In Paula's case, subverted: it turns out that she really is pregnant.]]

* DumbBlonde: The Rebecca of the song isn't interested in triangle theorems, only in which man she thinks she has to choose. Bloom sings the song in a faux-sexy, consciously dumb voice, recalling the public perception of MarilynMonroe's roles.

** Instead of wearing a blonde wig, Bloom keeps her own brunette hair for the video.

* BonusMaterial: After many interrupted reprises in the show, Bloom released the full version of the song only [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uab2BlDpPxQ on her YouTube channel]].

* PregnancyScare: Both Rebecca and Paula have one, and they react completely oppositely. Rebecca thinks it's a sign she and Josh should be together and is elated, Paula thinks it's all her dreams being ruined.

* MusicalisInterruptus: Rebecca starts singing the song, but then gets interrupted by Josh.

* DumbBlonde: The Rebecca of the song isn't interested in triangle theorems, only in which man she thinks she has to choose. Bloom sings the song in a faux-sexy, consciously dumb voice, recalling the public perception of MarilynMonroe's roles. (Monroe did not use such a tone in her song that's being parodied here.) Instead of wearing a wig, Bloom keeps her own brunette hair for the video.
