Quote from Moira

Moira: So I leaned in and I said, "Tippy, I'll take the job for a hundred grand more than Clifton, and a diamond tennis bracelet."
Twyla: What was the bracelet for?
Moira: Dramatic effect. Symbolism.

Quote from Roland

Roland: Johnny, I'm sorry, I was so busy being excited like you asked, that, um, I think I missed something here. Do we have an investor or do we have a meeting?
Johnny: We might. And I want you to keep this information to yourself. I don't want the family finding out and getting their hopes up.
Stevie: I'm pretty sure I can keep this one to myself.
Roland: Yeah, I don't know about me. I mean, if the local papers ask me about the rumour that you might be getting a phone call...
Johnny: All right, all right, you know what, Roland? You can go and finish your sandwich now.
Roland: Thank you. And by the way, Johnny, you should check to make sure this place isn't bugged. We wouldn't want the big news to leak out!

Quote from Moira

Producer: The copy's on the stand. We'd like for you to read it exactly as written.
Moira: Oh, wow, a prolific amount of material. And I am being paid for each spot, so hah!
Producer: Oh, uh, we agreed to a flat rate with your publicist.
Moira: Well, there'll be nothing flat about my performance.

Quote from Moira

Alexis: I'm so sorry. This is like the first offer I could get after that whole Sunrise Bay thing went down, and I... I thought it would get you back out there, but I did not know that it would be this.
Moira: Have I made a terrible mistake, Alexis? Is this the lowest point of my life?
Alexis: Okay, look who you're talking to. I haven't showered in like two days. Is this the lowest point of my life?
Producer: Thought you should know that we can hear your entire conversation.
Alexis: Ooh... okay. You should not have to do this, so you start the car and I will cover for you.
Moira: Oh, Alexis, no. [gets up, walks out] No, dear, I could not let you do that for me.

Quote from David

David: Okay, well, um, I would just like to welcome everybody to our... bachelor party.
Johnny: Is anyone else not getting a signal in here?
Moira: I thought there were drinks.
Stevie: That's after.
Alexis: Okay, how about half of us do the escape room, and then the other half of us get a table at the bar?
David: Okay, how 'bout you shh for a sec. Now, this will all go a lot smoother if we just accept the fact that this is something we have to do, and that Patrick, for some reason, thinks this is gonna be... [door opens] fun! Fun! Here he is.

Quote from Alexis

Game voice: Charles Darwin is being held captive by his arch-nemesis, rival scientist, Dr. Alfred R. Wallace, somewhere in the Galapagos Islands.
Alexis: What?!
Game voice: You have one hour to escape. It's your job to...
Alexis: This is a Galapagos-themed room!
David: I didn't plan this part.
Stevie: It was just called "The Laboratory." And I picked it 'cause it was the easiest.

Quote from Moira

Game voice: There are rumours that Wallace's assistant sides with Darwin and may be willing to help if you get stuck.
Moira: There's our lucky break. Assistant, show us the exit. Don't worry, I'm also in the Guild.

Quote from Patrick

Patrick: That's uh, that's not exactly how it works, Mrs. Rose. We do actually have to try first. Okay. So, the numbers for the combination on Darwin's journal are gonna be on finches with red beaks. "Travelling east to west, the numbers on the beaks will get you to the nest."
Johnny: I have a compass on my phone. Uh, when do we get our phones back?
Patrick: Well, you don't actually need a compass, Mr. Rose. It's, uh, more like a brain teaser. So, uh, we'll cover more ground if we pair off into teams. So Stevie and Mr. Rose, uh, Alexis and, and David, and, uh, Mrs. Rose, why don't you help me out?
Moira: Oh, I'd love nothing more, Patrick.
Patrick: Mrs. Rose, I'm sensing you that you might be a little bit distracted, but unfortunately, there is a time limit on us getting out of here.
Moira: [chuckles] Oh, I used to share your philosophic optimism, dear, but know the reality is, we're never getting out of here.
Patrick: I wouldn't be so sure. Just found a finch. The first number is six, people!

Quote from Alexis

Alexis: Maybe I made a mistake?
David: I did tell you to wear sensible heels today, and I'm not sure this outfit is entirely appropriate.
Alexis: No, I mean about not going to the Galapagos. Like I'm having a hard time not taking this as a sign.
David: Okay, we're in a strip mall on the side of the highway. I really wouldn't read into this. Also, as stupid as this is, I'm now invested.
Alexis: You know, there was a time, before we got here, that I would've like gone anywhere and done anything, no questions asked. Like, what if I'm just losing my edge?
David: All right, if this'll help me escape this conversation: yes, it would have been a mistake to go.
Alexis: Okay, go on.
David: Well, what were you gonna do? Follow another guy around the world?
Alexis: Yeah, but what am I doing here? Setting Mom up with second-rate radio gigs for regional airlines?
David: 'Kay, well, I don't know, where do you wanna be then?
Alexis: There.
David: [confused] Where?
Alexis: No, the finch. Second row, in the middle. Trust me, Stavros and I used to make out in his parents' aviary.

Quote from Johnny

Johnny: Excuse me, Assistant? Uh, any chance of getting our phones back? I know, I'm aware of the no-phones situation, but I need mine for a business... See, I don't know what this means. I heard a rumour you're on our side, and I'm, I'm waiting on an important call.
