‘District Manager’

Season 3, Episode 17 -  Aired March 29, 2018

When a new district manager, Laurie (Jennifer Irwin), is assigned to replace Jeff, Amy inadvertently advises her to fire Myrtle. Meanwhile, Dina tries to hide her baby bump, and Mateo worries about his performance on check-out.

Quote from Jonah

Amy: Uh, you can't fire Myrtle. She is an invaluable asset to this store.
Laurie: Okay, Amy, I really don't want to fire anyone, right? Certainly not a sweet old lady, but corporate is on me to cut the budget.
Jonah: What if we found the savings elsewhere? Could she keep her job then?
Laurie: She makes $20 bucks an hour.
Jonah: Myrtle?! Dude, yeah, no, that makes sense. It's nice to see a woman not just making 79 cents on the dollar.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Come on, Jonah. You can do this! I know you can do this. Come on, baby! Find the money! Show Mama the money.
Jonah: O-okay, all right, okay, I appreciate the energy, Mama. But can you let me focus?
Amy: Yeah, okay, whatever you need.
Jonah: Well, okay, we leave the A/C on in March. It's just competing with the heat. If we turn both of them off, that would save us $200.
Amy: Yes, okay! Mama smells the bacon 'cause Papa found the pork! 200 bucks!
Jonah: I don't like any of this.
Amy: Neither do I, but Mama can't stop.

Quote from Mateo

Mateo: Is this everyone? Should we wait for more people?
Laurie: Mm, nope. We're ready.
Mateo: Great. [clears throat] [grunts] Just... [sighs] Ooh. You don't wanna start with cold muscles.
Garrett: Hey, you look pretty warm to me. It's showtime, Mateo.
Mateo: Okay. Great. So, um... first thing is, um, check the equipment. So... Oh. Ah, looks like it's broken.
Cheyenne: You just turned it off. Here.
Mateo: Thank you, Cheyenne. So now we begin. [sighs] Bees!
Laurie: What?
Mateo: Oh, I got stung! Bees! Killer bees! Killer bees! Get out of the store! There's killer bees! Get out! Get out! Killer bees!

Quote from Jonah

Amy: This red area here represents all the money the store spends on utilities.
Jonah: Amy, that is a big slice of pie.
Amy: A very big slice, Jonah. I mean, I couldn't finish that. But when the store shifts over to LED and motion sensors, then something happens to that slice of pie. Next slide.
Jonah: Mm.
Amy: That slice gets a lot smaller.
Jonah: Yeah, you know, if someone offered me a slice that size at a birthday party...

Quote from Amy

Laurie: I'm sorry, was that the donkey from Shrek?
Amy: Yeah, that was for a budget pun, but it doesn't matter anymore.

Quote from Jonah

Laurie: Very impressive, though, and very good work. I got my eye on you guys. You have a very bright future.
Oh. What's the joke about the donkey?
Jonah: Oh, uh, "Only an ass would keep writing blank Shreks for doughnut Thursdays."
Laurie: Funny.
Amy: Told you it wasn't funny.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Ah, quitting time, huh?
Laurie: Oh, yeah.
Dina: Man, I cannot wait to get home. I am gonna get drunk. Smoke some cigarettes, jump on my trampoline. Whoo!
Laurie: Okay, it's a big night. I'm sorry, you just... you look different.
Dina: Whoa. You know, in the future, I'd appreciate if you didn't comment on my body. You're a woman. You should know better. [scoffs]

Quote from Amy

Jonah: So what do you think of Laurie now? B-word? C-word? A-word?

Glenn: Milady.
Laurie: Okay. Um, hi. I am Laurie Neustadt. I'm taking over for Jeff.
I'm gonna be here all day walking around, getting to know the store, trying to figure out ways we can make things a little more efficient. So, um, busy day. Let's, uh, get back out there.
Glenn: Let's get back out there. Bet they say that a lot on the slopes of Denver, huh?
Laurie: I guess. [exits]
Jonah: Actually, I think this is a different Laurie Neustadt.

Quote from Amy

Laurie: Um, there is an employee, Sal Kazlauskas, who has a lot of open sexual harassment complaints against him.
Amy: Yeah, it's fine. He died in the wall.
Laurie: That's this store?
Amy: Mm-hmm.
Laurie: Okay, good to know.
