After Dina resigns as assistant manager so she will no longer be a superior to Jonah, Glenn searches for a replacement.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Hey, you. Where have you been?
Jonah: Me... oh, big store. You know, I... Sometimes I'll run into people, and they'll say, "Hey, have you been on vacation?" and I'll be like, "Nah, I was here the whole time."
Dina: I love how you observe things.
Jonah: Yeah. Listen, Dina, the...
Dina: Do you like risotto?
Jonah: Huh?
Dina: I make a nice risotto. I was thinking if you wanted to come over later tonight, I could make us some. And I have Hoosiers on Blu-ray.
Jonah: Well, that sounds like a great evening.
Dina: Yeah. Gene Hackman, so... [chuckles]

Quote from Dina

Jonah: Dina, do you think this is really a good idea? You know, the whole giving up your job thing?
Dina: Oh, quitting that job was the best thing that's ever happened to me.
Jonah: It was?
Dina: Heck, yeah. I was getting a stress rash in the shape of Abraham Lincoln. But now it's disappearing. I mean, his hat's almost completely gone. Why am I going on about it? I mean, you're gonna see it soon enough.
Jonah: Um... But...
Dina: I needed a change, honestly. Ever since my Nana died, I've just been in such a rut.
Jonah: Oh, no, I'm s... I didn't... I'm so sorry.
Dina: Yeah, sweet lady. But it was probably for the best, though.
Jonah: I'm sure.
Dina: I mean, she would not have been cool with the whole... I don't really know how else to say it... Jewishness of this relationship.

Quote from Dina

Jonah: Uh, the relationship... [clears throat]... is something that we should talk about.
Dina: Yeah. You know, I'm not normally an insecure person, but now that it's all out in the open, I gotta tell you, there was a couple of times where I thought, "Am I being delusional?" "Does he even like me?" "Like, I think he does." [chuckles] "Or is he just stringing me along like some sociopath?" [both laugh]
Jonah: Yeah, no. Nope, nope, that's not me. I'm not a psychopath.
Dina: Sociopath.
Jonah: What's even the difference?
Dina: A psychopath doesn't have a conscience. A sociopath knows what he's doing is wrong but does it anyway. 8:00 tonight?
Jonah: I can't say no.
Dina: [chuckles] Hate to see you go, but love to watch you leave. [to female customer] God, you look exhausted too.

Quote from Jonah

Garrett: So, instead of just telling her you were not interested, you said you would go to her house to eat risotto and watch Gene Hackman inspire a small town?
Jonah: I'm not the bad news guy. I'm the good news guy, you know? "Nicole had a baby!" "Aden made varsity!" "Did you hear about Dean? He beat Lupus!" People love hearing good news from me.
Garrett: Yeah, and you're totally unique in that way.

Quote from Mateo

Mateo: Strength of a lion.
Garrett: Okay, this seems like something I need to know more about.
Mateo: Oh, I'm working on my presentation for assistant manager. I'm want to show them that I have the strength of a lion, the intelligence of a dolphin, and the determination of a worker ant. And this is just what I look like on a rabbit.
Garrett: I'm sold, but... what are you gonna do for the talent portion of the interview?
Mateo: Talent portion?
Garrett: I see we got some work to do.

Quote from Sandra

Amy: I got to say, Sandra, I am impressed. I did not expect you to be interested in this job, but way to go, showing initiative. [goes to high-five Sandra]
Sandra: [gasps]
Amy: Oh.
Sandra: You're right. I'm sorry. I shouldn't have come here. [stumbles into door] Ow! Sorry. Sorry.

Quote from Marcus

Marcus: Is this about the headphones?
Amy: What headphones?
Marcus: Oh! I don't know. I mean, I didn't take them. They probably forgot to load them on the truck. Right. I mean, if that's what was stolen. We don't know if something was, first. That should be the first question we ask, before we make... accusations.

Quote from Marcus

Marcus: If you don't believe me, then why don't you go check the tapes, okay? Just check the tapes, man. It's all in the tapes. Check the tapes. [chants] Check the tapes. Check the tapes.
Amy: Yeah, all right, we will.
Marcus: You guys actually tape us? That's so messed up.

Quote from Mateo

Mateo: No, Mateo, your future is not here, in Manila... It lies in America. All aboard! Next stop, Ellis Island. No, Rodrigo, stand back. You're too close to the edge. You'll fall! No, Mateo, I want to be the first to touch... Lady Libertyyyyyyyy... Oh, my God, you were right, Mateo... you're always right! [Garrett applauds] It actually goes on for much longer.
Garrett: I've seen enough. I like it. You got the steak. Now it's time to make it sizzle.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Well, today didn't work out exactly as I planned. Don't bother asking for details. It's none of your business. But I did kill it in cosmetics.
Cheyenne: Yeah, you sure did.
Dina: You could improve, though. I'm gonna bring a grip squeezer tomorrow. You need to control their faces more.
