Quote from Mateo

Amy: Okay, Mateo, you're up. Why don't you call our produce vendor and check the date of our next delivery.
Mateo: [on the phone] Good afternoon, ma'am. Oh, I'm sorry, sir. You have a uniquely high voice. [laughs] I didn't know that could happen after a stroke. I do believe you. I... My voice just got higher. I'm not mocking you. Hello? Hello?
Cheyenne: Whoa, I can't go after that. That was so good.

Quote from Sandra

Dina: Sandra, what are you doing?
Sandra: I'm sick of you two. Figure it out. I don't need the stress. A chunk of my hair fell out, and I will not be bald for my wedding!

Quote from Marcus

Marcus: [sings] ♪ To dance with my father again ♪
Justine: Oh.
Sayid: My gosh.
Amy: [emotionally] Wow. A swing and a miss.

Quote from Marcus

Jonah: I'm actually going to a meeting for Raise the Wage. So this is really to help all of us.
Marcus: You know what would help us is if we were all sleeping with the boss. Then we could all take a day off whenever we wanted.
Dina: Well, someone would still have to work. So who doesn't wanna sleep with Amy?
[Sandra, Glenn and Sayid raises their hands]
Amy: Okay, no, Dina, that's not... Oh, really? Sayid, wow. You'd be lucky.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Anyway, I don't give Jonah special treatment.
Justine: It's not just Jonah. It's all your favorites. Glenn, Garrett, Cheyenne-
Cheyenne: Oh, Amy, I'm one of your favorites?
Amy: No.
Cheyenne: [scoffs] Oh.
Amy: I mean, no, I don't have favorites.

Quote from Jonah

Amy: No, guys, there's no need to call HR, okay? Jonah, I'm not taking you off the schedule. So you're gonna have to find someone yourself to cover.
Jonah: That's totally fair, and I'm sure I can find somebody else to cover for me. Sarah?
Sarah: No.
Jonah: Jesus, Sarah, at least take a minute to pretend to look at your calendar or something.

Quote from Amy

Amy: Mateo, I really could use the help right now, but I can't hire you. Zephra still uses E-Verify.
Mateo: This is so unfair.
Amy: I know.
Mateo: [phone chimes] Oh, my God. I have to give Dan's wife a lift. To Fort Wayne, Indiana? Where is that?
Amy: Okay, no, no. Mateo, no. That's crazy. You can't do that. We'll figure something out. I mean, maybe if there were some kind of way to...
Mateo: Do you actually have a plan or are you just not telling me to be mysterious or do you have, like, no idea.
Amy: I don't know. It's just too risky. [silence]
Mateo: Okay, I'm gonna pee and come back.

Quote from Amy

Amy: So then on your books, Mateo would still get paid by the vision center, but he'd work with me. And Eugene would stay on my payroll, but he'd work with you.
Dan: But we had a good thing going here. I mean, we were vibing. It's like...
Mateo: [nods] Yes.
Dan: But I just don't know anything about this guy.
Eugene: I'm Eugene.
Amy: He's Eugene! He's the best! He's, um, uh... positive.
Mateo: Mm-hmm.
Amy: And, uh...
Mateo: He is, uh... so tall.
Amy: So tall.

Quote from Amy

Dan: Eugene, could you get those boxes off from the top shelf, and take them to the back?
Eugene: Sure thing.
Dan: Hmm. Good extension. Nice wide stance.
Amy: Uh-huh.
Dan: The kid's good. I'm sold.
Amy: Good.
Mateo: Yay!
Amy: Great. Awesome. And, um, also, you know, we should probably keep all of this on the down low. Just the fewer people who know, probably the better.
Dan: Of course. I mean, I actually find shared secrets very thrilling.
Amy: Okay. Oh, sure.

Quote from Jonah

Garrett: I'll cover your shift if you work for me next Friday.
Jonah: Oh, great. Okay, great, yeah. What's... What's going on Friday?
Garrett: Oh, nothing. Just having a little thing at my place.
Jonah: Oh, you're, uh... you're doing a thing. That's... that's cool. Cool. So yeah, I'll just, uh... I'll cover for you while you're having your thing. And I'll... I'll be here.
Garrett: That's how this works.
