‘Carol's Back’

Season 5, Episode 19 -  Aired March 26, 2020

The Cloud 9 employees are nervous when Carol returns to work at the store. Meanwhile, Jonah and Cheyenne join a Raise the Wage protest.

Quote from Amy

Jonah: [on the phone] Sandra apologized to Carol?
Amy: I know. It's crazy. She has some sort of, like, dark power. I almost apologized to her. Anyway, how's it going? Have you raised the wage yet?
Jonah: Well, I just got here, but it seems like a pretty good turnout.
Amy: I can still go to other Gateway Subs, right? Just not that one?
Jonah: Amy, they exploit their workers.
Amy: But they cure their own salami.

Quote from Glenn

Amy: I sent around a memo saying that she'd be back to work today.
Dina: I thought that was a joke.
Amy: How is that a joke?
Dina: I don't know. You're not great at jokes. It's hard to tell sometimes.
Glenn: Yeah, you've dropped some real stinkers lately. Remember you said that joke about how Bill Cosby was framed?
Amy: Uh, no, that definitely wasn't me.
Glenn: Oh.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: That's Tommy. He's lead organizer, total badass. Got, like, a fight the power, Malcolm X kind of vibe. Not... Not because he's... You know, just the... vibe-wise.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Okay, um, oh, yeah, Nicki. How's your first day going, girl?
Nicki: It's fine.
Amy: I've got a really fun assignment for you.
Nicki: I know all about Carol. No, thank you.
Amy: How do you already know about her?
Nicki: From, like, six people. Sounds like a real maniac.
Amy: Also not a word we should be using.

Quote from Amy

Carol: Oh, come on, all because of Sandra's cat?
Ken: Wait, she's the cat killer? You made me work next to the cat killer.
Amy: Ken, just calm down, okay?
Carol: So that's why you had Ken come in here, because you're scared of me. [Amy scoffs] I can't believe this. I should call C.J. DiBono.
Glenn: No, no, no, no.
Amy: You don't need to do that. You know what? Why don't you take your lunch break on me?
Carol: Fine. It's the least you can do.
Amy: And... And don't worry. When you get back, everything is gonna feel much better. And, you know, get what you want. Go crazy. I mean, have fun.

Quote from Amy

Earl: People call anything "mental illness" these days. Like, sometimes I'll lie in bed all weekend, because I no longer take pleasure in things I used to enjoy. Does that make me "depressed"?
Justine: Yes.
Amy: It does.
Sandra: Yeah.
Sayid: It seems like it.
Earl: What?

Quote from Mateo

Man: Hey, you guys mind if I take a quick ten to get some body wipes? I'm starting to reek.
Mateo: I mean, it's only been, like, a couple hours.
Man: Well, it's a lot of work. The job post said "move some boxes."
Garrett: Yeah, no, I mean, it's cool. If it's not the kind of work you want to do, we'll just find somebody else on BusyBee.
Mateo: Yeah, I mean, I've got Ashleigh C, Taylor M...
Garrett: Boom.
Mateo: Jurgen L. Ooh, he looks cute.
Man: No, no, Jurgen steals all my jobs, and he just takes good pictures. Look, I can handle it. I'll make sure to get the rest of those boxes.
Mateo: Ahh, I'm so glad we finally got some downtime. Just really gives us a chance to reset.
Garrett: Yeah. Ooh, okay, white Whitney.

Quote from Amy

Amy: The point is that all of that ends the second Carol calls C.J. DiBono.
Justine: Is... Is that, like, a restaurant?
Amy: No, it's... like, it's... it's the H.R. person. And it doesn't matter what his name is. We just don't want him around.
Dina: Yeah, we do not want C.J. DiBono here.
Glenn: Oh, God no.
Amy: Mm-mm. Okay, so then when Carol comes back from lunch, we're all gonna be very friendly, and we're gonna treat her like she's a valued and trusted coworker, yes?

Quote from Glenn

Amy: Hey, Carol. I just wanted to apologize for earlier. We were all really out of line.
Glenn: Yeah, what was everybody afraid of, that you would kill everybody? You wouldn't do that. And even if you did, I'm sure you'd have a good reason.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Hey, I know I punched you in the gut at Sandra's wedding, so I wanted to offer you a shot to make us even.
Amy: No, Dina, we're at work. [Carol punches Dina in the gut]
Dina: Oh!
Carol: Oh, wow. That does feel better.
Dina: [coughs] Nice form. Good hip rotation.
Amy: Glad we did that.
