After Glenn reveals that the winner of the Halloween costume competition will get a day off work, Amy and Mateo seek to eliminate the competition. Meanwhile, Glenn can't escape the new automated shopping cart collector, and Garrett is tormented by a novelty Halloween song.

Quote from Mateo

Amy: I just want you to know that I actually really do like your costume.
Mateo: Thanks. I like yours, too. Do you wanna hold hands like in Miss America?
Amy: Not really.
Mateo: I actually don't like your costume.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: [on car phone] Jerusha, I want you to go pack a go-bag, and go outside, wait by the mailbox, and when you see my car, get a running start and then jump through the window, okay? Because I am not going to be able to stop. Oh, and see if any of our neighbors have a shotgun you can borrow. I'll see you soon.

Quote from Jonah

Amy: So how much did I win by? Was it, like, a landslide? You can tell me.
Jonah: Oh, it was a total landslide, for Cheyenne.
Amy: What?
Jonah: I mean, her boob accidentally popped out. You can't compete with that.
Amy: Wait, did you cheat for me?
Jonah: Mm-hmm.
Amy: Nice.
Jonah: It's kinda fitting, don't you think, that I actually ended up suppressing votes? [chuckles] 'Cause it, uh... 'cause I'm Gerry Mander.
Amy: Mm-hmm.
Jonah: You get it.

Quote from Sandra

Jonah: I'm sorry, what are you supposed to be?
Sandra: The back of a horse. Jerry was supposed to be the front, but he's in Fort Lauderdale with Carol.
Jonah: Oh.
Glenn: Hey, you two, you can flirt on your own time.

Quote from Cheyenne

Glenn: Next order of business, we're going to be holding an employee costume competition today.
Cheyenne: Oh, in honor of Halloween?
Glenn: Yep, yep. Because of Halloween.

Quote from Jonah

Amy: I really wanna win this contest. People are gonna know I'm Super Mario, right? Not just some fat plumber.
Jonah: I think people will get it. And you should keep that mustache. It really works for you.
Amy: Oh, yeah, I was thinking of growing one.
Jonah: You should, you should. It brings out your eyes.
Amy: Yeah, thank you.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Aloha, girl. That costume is amazing.
Cheyenne: Awh, thanks.
Amy: The coconuts and the grass and the belly button that I can see.
Mateo: I'm literally obsessed with you. You're literally in danger.
Amy: I was wondering though, do you think that maybe this costume might be objectifying women?
Mateo: Huh. You know, I can see that. Like, do you really want men gawking at you like you're some piece of meat?
Amy: Yeah.
Cheyenne: Kinda.
Mateo: Okay.

Quote from Sandra

Amy: Hey, did you see Cheyenne's hula costume?
Sandra: Yeah.
Amy: That's not offensive to you or anything, is it?
Sandra: Why would it be offensive?
Amy: Oh, no, just that, you know, some people might call it cultural appropriation. Just because reducing your entire heritage to some cartoony stereotype might be disrespectful or something.
Sandra: She's just having fun.
Mateo: OMG. How cute is Cheyenne's hula outfit? [chuckles] Hawaiians are like "laki-maki laki-maki laki-maki."
Sandra: Actually, hula is a sacred-
Mateo: It's adorable. Oh, you guys, you're just such a cute, funny little people.
Sandra: Thanks.

Quote from Garrett

Woman: Now, I want it to be spicy but not too spicy, like a step past ketchup but not quite to mustard. [Halloween music continues] Now I've had a "quesadillo" and I've had a "chimi-Chang-a," and I like them, but Gary, now, he likes a cream tuna on noodles. I always say to him, "Live a little, Gary."
Garrett: God, I can't take it!
Woman: Oh, sorry. [to another employee] Excuse me, I'm looking for a "salza."

Quote from Sandra

Sandra: She can't even be in the contest now. I feel bad.
Amy: Well, you had to say something. It was obviously bothering you.
Mateo: Yeah, I love Cheyenne but she needed to be called out.
Sandra: Maybe I'm being too sensitive. I mean, Janet's half-Jamaican, and she's okay with Marcus' Rasta cap.
