Quote from Carol

Carol: Hey, Amy, it's so great that you're going to "California." My sister went to "California," and it really helped turn her life around.

Quote from Amy

Jonah: Amy, we've been together for years. We live together, we work together, we're raising Parker together. I don't know what else you need to know. And I think I deserve a little more than just see how it goes.
Amy: Okay, then... then... then don't come to California. We can... We can do long-distance. We'll Zoom date, and you can have your couscous and me with my Hot Pockets...

Quote from Cheyenne

Cheyenne: [on video] Hi Amy, thanks for looking out for me all these years. Uh, you were kinda like a second mom to me. You taught me so much. And now that you're moving away, it's kinda like you're saying, "Okay, Cheyenne, like, you know it all now. You have nothing left to learn."

Quote from Garrett

Garrett: [on video] You know, for me, this has always just been a job. You know, a job I hated.
Glenn: What?
Garrett: I'd clock in, do as little work as possible, clock out. And that's still gonna be the case, but... I'm just gonna hate it a little more without you here.
Mateo: Aww.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: Well, I wanted to give you something.
Amy: Aww, that's pretty. Thank you.
Glenn: It's Myrtle. Remember how she always wanted to go out to California? So I talked to her family, and they said you can take her out there. You know, make her dreams come true.
Amy: Oh, that's really sweet, actually.
Glenn: Yeah, her sister said you got about a third of her in there.
Amy: Oh.
Glenn: Yeah. And... and... I also wanted to give you this.
Amy: An I-9? Thank you.
Glenn: It's your I-9 from when you were a summer hire, remember? And now here we are, 17 years later, and you're off to some fancy corporate job. I couldn't be prouder.
Amy: I can't believe you saved this.
Glenn: Well, I always knew you were gonna be special. [sighs] Also, I saved everyone's, for auditing purposes.
Amy: Well, it's still very cool. It's gonna be really weird not seeing your face, 'cause your face has just always been there. [they each hug themselves]

Quote from Dina

Amy: How's the search going?
Dina: Eh, kinda striking out. I'm staring down the barrel of Sandra right now, so I think I may have to resort to the night shift.
Amy: Yikes.
Dina: How are you doing? The whole Jonah thing?
Amy: Feels pretty bad. But also not wrong, so... I'll miss him. I'll miss you.
Dina: Yeah. You know, the harder I try to replace you, the more I realize that, uh, maybe you're not replaceable. I don't know. I'm probably wrong. Yeah, just tired or something.
Amy: That's... That's probably it.
Dina: Yeah, I mean, we're still gonna see each other. Sure, I mean, I'm never going to California, but we can meet in Fort Collins.
Amy: It's a deal.

Quote from Amy

Amy: I think he took it to get my ring size. For an engagement ring.
Dina: Oh!
Amy: Eh...
Dina: What is that? I thought you inexplicably loved him.
Amy: I do, I do, I love him. I Just... I just don't know if we're there yet. I mean, I was already nervous about this big move across the country, and now everybody's talking about forever...

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: Man, Zephra's life insurance policy is incredible. The surviving spouse makes out like a bandit. If you die, I'm set for life. [Amy laughs uneasily] You better watch out. There's a lot of cliffs out there, you know? Two of us go hiking, and we get a little too close to the edge... Accidents happen, you know? If I don't shave, I could sell the whole grieving husband thing...
Amy: I don't think we really have to talk about this right now.
Jonah: Yeah, no, I'm... I was just joking. It just...
Amy: Yeah, no, I mean, I loved it. You know, the whole, like, cliff thing. Aah! Ha! Dead! Ha! I just, I have...
Jonah: yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, sign... sign your papers.

Quote from Carol

Carol: Good luck drying out in there. In "California."

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: What's your favorite memory of Amy?
Nia: I just met her this morning, so... Uh, today's my first day here.
Glenn: Oh, wow, fun! Let's hear your hot take on Amy.
Nia: She seems... really nice.
Glenn: Oh, could you be more specific?
Nia: She's nice and... short.
Glenn: This is a mistake.
Nia: Yeah, okay. It was nice meeting you guys.
