‘Employee App’

Season 5, Episode 16 -  Aired February 20, 2020

After the Cloud 9 employees are forced to install the Zephra app on their phones, Jonah is worried about corporate surveilance. Meanwhile, Amy is innundated with texts from Dina on the company app.

Quote from Dina

Amy: Look, I can make you one.
Dina: Oh, knock yourself out. I never got into the whole texting fad.
Amy: Really? You've texted me.
Dina: Yeah, to convey information, but, like, sending someone a little picture or something? It's, like, what's the point?
Amy: Well, sometimes you just feel like sending someone an emoji or, like, a GIF from a movie.
Dina: Why? Why would you do that to someone?
Amy: Okay, never mind.

Quote from Garrett

Garrett: My man, I made something for you.
Jonah: Oh, yeah?
Garrett: Yeah, try it on.
Jonah: What... What am I looking at here?
Garrett: It's a hat lined with tin foil so Zephra can't hack into your thoughts.
Jonah: Okay, all right, I get it. So I'm just some sort of, like, wacko conspiracy theorist for thinking that a tech conglomerate just might want to check out its employees' phone activity.
Garrett: Shh. The lizard people are all around us; they'll hear you. [to a customer] Sorry, buddy. Not you. You look totally normal.

Quote from Dina

Amy: We got hit with a ton of graffiti that we have to remove. I'm not sure if it was a bunch of different people... [cell phone chimes] Or just one guy with a lot of range. Sorry. Text from Dina. "Heads up, spill in Produce," with her avatar surfing on a banana.
Glenn: Ooh, 'cause Produce!
Amy: Yup, I'm guessing so. At any rate, they spray painted a pentagram in Toys & Games, which I've just been telling the parents is a Frozen thing, so. [cell phone chimes] Sorry. [cell phone chimes] Apple emoji, orange emoji, grapes emoji...
Sandra: She's good at this.
Amy: Yeah.
Dina: Hey, Amy, ignore the baseball. I thought it was a shelled coconut.
Amy: All good. Just, uh, trying to get through some assignments here.
Dina: Got it.
Amy: Okay. Okay, um, where was I? Uh... Oh, right... Also, they spray painted "Greta is God" in the changing rooms, now... [cell phone chimes] Um, I'm not sure if they meant Gerwig or Thunberg, but not that it matters. [cell phone chimes] What I need is for you...
Dina: Amy! Check your phone! This is a good one!
Amy: It's a meme of Indiana Jones cracking his whip.
Dina: It's you, the boss! Apparently, it's from a movie!
Glenn: Wow, generations have changed, huh? If it were me, I'd find that incredibly annoying. [cell phone chimes]

Quote from Sandra

Garrett: Sandra, did you catch that?
Sandra: Yeah. Listened to the entire thing. I'm always listening.
Garrett: Well, did it sound weird to you? He's never talked to me before.
Sandra: I don't know. A lot of people have never talked to me before.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Wow. [scoffs] Didn't realize I was so annoying. Maybe I should just sell my voice to a sea witch, become nothing but a pretty, pretty face.
Amy: N-no, Dina, come on. It's not like that.
Dina: Wait, so you didn't get my security memo about the Chafies?
Amy: Chafies?
Dina: Yes. The fuel cans that caterers use? Teens are drinking them to get high. We have to put out red label warnings.
Amy: Red label warnings? Dina, you can't just text me something like that. We could get in a lot of trouble.
Dina: Yeah, I know, that's why I added my avatar like this. I thought it was screaming, but I guess I was silent, because you muted me. You took away my voice.
Amy: Okay, well... That's dramatic.

Quote from Garrett

Garrett: Yo, somebody broke into my locker.
Jonah: What?
Sandra: Did they take anything?
Garrett: No, doesn't look like it. Just looks like they went through everything.
Jonah: Huh.
Garrett: You don't think this is because of the Google search, do you?
Jonah: N- No. I mean, I... [exhales] I don't think.
Sandra: Sal used to break into people's lockers. But usually just to lick their stuff.
Garrett: Yeah, that's probably it.

Quote from Sandra

Jonah: Wanna know a secret?
Sandra: Always.
Jonah: I'm the one that broke into his locker.
Sandra: Oh. [chuckles] You're a locker-licker too?
Jonah: No, no, it was revenge for acting like I'm the crazy one.
Sandra: Oh.
Jonah: Yeah, I even got Ken to act weird around him too.
Sandra: Oh, this is genius. [laughs] Can I help? I'm never on the happy end of a prank.
Jonah: It's not a prank. More like gaslighting. But, uh, yeah, sure, whatever.
Sandra: Yes! Revenge of the losers!
Jonah: Oh, we don't have to call it that.
Sandra: [laughs] You got it, buddy.

Quote from Sandra

Jonah: We're going back, yeah, yeah. And front, stop, turn around... Oh, yeah, I can go that way too, buddy.
Sandra: Jonah, you are the new prank king.
Jonah: Again, it... It's not a prank. I'm... I'm teaching Garrett a lesson.
Sandra: We're gonna be legends after this. "Jonah and the Kid" I bet they'll call us.
Jonah: Uh-huh.

Quote from Cheyenne

Glenn: Oh. Everyone's in the men's room. Even some ladies.
Cheyenne: The app can't track us here.
Glenn: Okay, I'm just gonna...
Marcus: You know, I actually prefer this to the break room.
Glenn: Excuse me.
Marcus: It's cozier, the lighting's better, there's a nice little echo. Whoa, whoops.
Cheyenne: Yeah, I just wish it didn't smell so much like farts.
Mateo: The break room smelled like farts.
Cheyenne: Yeah, but you didn't know if that was from actual farts. You could just tell yourself it was someone's gumbo or something.

Quote from Garrett

Jonah: Hey, man.
Garrett: [startled grunt]
Jonah: Wow, wound a little tightly there, buddy. Everything all right?
Garrett: Mmhmm, mm-hmm, yeah. No, you know what? Uh, everything's not all right. I think they're spying on our phones.
Jonah: What? I thought you said I was the paranoid one.
Garrett: I thought you were, but then they started following me around; they started searching my stuff. That woman in the café who's pretending to read the newspaper? Nobody reads newspapers anymore.
Jonah: I do.
Garrett: No, you don't. You say you do, but you don't.
