While Amy has a job interview at Corporate, Dina tries to keep it secret from Jonah. Meanwhile, Mateo offers to organize a party for Cheyenne's 21st birthday, and Glenn tries to help Sandra adopt.

Quote from Dina

Jonah: Yeah, I will, although I'll have to check with Amy because I'm not sure the new shipment came in last night.
Dina: Well, Amy is at the eye doctor.
Jonah: Yeah, I know. I mean when she gets back.
Dina: From the eye doctor.
Jonah: Yep.
Dina: 'Cause that's where she is.
Jonah: Mm-hmm.
Dina: They're checking her out for a dead spot.
Jonah: What?
Dina: Yeah. Right eye, 10 degrees off center, about the size of a baseball, she said.
Jonah: Wow, that's a lot of detail.
Dina: It is, and I bet you're wondering why she hasn't mentioned it. It's because she doesn't want you to worry.
Jonah: Uh-huh.
Dina: Yeah. You know, because if the dead spot gets worse, and let's be honest, it will, you're gonna be the person taking care of her. Feeding, bathing, describing the ocean. Anyway, it's gonna be beautiful. Like a Nicholas Sparks novel. I'm excited about that for you.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Could you restock the Icelandic yogurt when you get a chance? Apparently, every country in Europe gets a shot now.

Quote from Cheyenne

Cheyenne: Hey, Mateo, can I ask you something and promise not to freak out?
Mateo: No.
Cheyenne: Uh-huh. Okay, so if 500 people bought tickets to my party, how many do you think will actually show up? Probably, like, 30, right?
Mateo: You sold 500 tickets?
Cheyenne: My friend Chloe reposted it, so it really took off in the foot fetish community.

Quote from Cheyenne

Mateo: Chey, this is really bad.
Cheyenne: Well, it's all your fault! You're supposed to be the responsible adult who talks me out of doing dumb stuff.
Mateo: You said my ideas were lame!
Cheyenne: They were, but mine were, like, too good. Maybe it'll be okay though. Wait, is there a thing where if you promise something to someone and they pay for it, you have to give them the thing that you said?
Mateo: Yes.
Cheyenne: But, like, legally?
Mateo: Yes.
Cheyenne: Oh, dang. I was hoping no.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Hey. Just got an email from HR. Carol's doing pretty well. She can say her consonants again.
Dina: Nice. Whole words should be any day now.

Quote from Dina

Dina: So you're up for a job at Zephra, huh?
Amy: [whispers] What? Close the door.
Dina: Oh. [door closes]
Amy: How did you hear?
Dina: I have my ways. Specifically, corporate called and asked me for a reference. I mean, I have my ways, but I didn't need to use them this time.
Amy: Okay. Well, what did you tell them?
Dina: The truth. You're smart, hardworking, and a lot of fun to be around in medium quantities.

Quote from Dina

Dina: So what happens if you get it? You and Pretty Boy gonna move out to Zephra HQ, abandon us for that California life? Sucking down avocados, Jonah wearing T-shirts in pools.
Amy: Jonah doesn't even know about this yet. It's just the regional round of interviews, and it's such a long shot that it's not worth getting into a whole conversation about our future.
Dina: So this'll just be our little secret then. Like how Sayid has a huge wang.
Amy: That's not... Wait, really?

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: I can't believe that Brett gets to be the Easter Bunny. I was begging to do it, but Corporate said that anyone who asks more than three times can't 'cause of pedophile stuff.
Garrett: Hate to agree with Corporate, but that policy feels right.

Quote from Sandra

Sandra: It's Easter fever at our place right now. Jerry's been practicing his finding skills for the egg hunt. He's... he's getting there.
Justine: Being newlyweds sounds so fun. You must be doing it all the time.
Sandra: Uh-huh.
Sayid: All that sex and no baby. When's Jerry gonna put the bun in the uterus?
Sandra: Fair question, but actually, when we're ready, we're gonna adopt. There's so many kids out there who need homes. Plus, we love our cat, and we adopted her.
Garrett: Right, as opposed to birthing her yourself.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: Sandra, this is Tony, one of my original foster kids, but the family he's living with is moving to Canada, you know, and Jerusha and I have our hands so full with Rose. Anyway, you were saying how you and Jerry wanted to adopt a child, so...
Garrett: So she should adopt this gentleman?
Sandra: Um... Wow. Thank you, but...
Glenn: Okay, look, I know you weren't planning on adopting right away, but Tony is such an incredible kid. He's a straight-A student, captain of the baseball team, and he makes an amazing grilled cheese sandwich.
Tony: I butter both sides of the bread.
Glenn: Oh, so good.
Sandra: Well, I just don't know if...
Glenn: Okay, look, you don't have to decide right now, but tell you what, why don't we all have lunch and see if any sparks fly, huh?
Sandra: Okay.
