Jonah: Cloud 9 made over a billion dollars last year. Why don't we just ask them to pay for maternity leave?
Amy: Oh, you want to just call corporate and ask them? That sounds easy.
Jonah: It's worth a shot, isn't it? I mean, what's the worst they can do, say no?

Woman: [on the phone] Employee services.
Amy: Hi, this is Amy Dubanowski from Store 1217. We have an employee here who's about to have a baby, and I was wondering if maybe we could get her some paid maternity leave.
Woman: I'm sorry, we don't offer paid maternity leave.
Jonah: Don't just give up.
Amy: Well, some of us were wondering if you could change that policy, because we really want it.
Woman: Um, that's just not something we offer.
Jonah: Okay, but is it, like, a conversation you guys are having? Because I know other big companies do offer it. Typically, their employees would be in unions.
Woman: Transferring now. Please hold.
Amy: What are you doing? Why would you say that?
Jonah: Say what?
