Quote from Mateo

Mateo: Hey, everyone. Did I miss a meeting? Sorry. I was shotgunning code reds with my party bus of a husband. I don't care if it's unprofessional. I just want to have fun and do molly with unicorns. [silence] What? That was spot-on Cheyanne.
Justine: Oh, my God, Mateo. We can see your junk.
Mateo: What?
Cheyenne: Oh, my God. TMI!
Glenn: No, no, you're making it worse.
Dina: You're moving it around.
Mateo: Well, then stop looking! God.

Quote from Cheyenne

Cheyenne: Those were SuperCloud leggings, huh?
Mateo: They were.
Cheyenne: Oh, yeah. They're crazy thin. I wore a pair to Harmonica's teacher conference one time but she got an A on her macaroni project after that and it sucked.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: And he was my foster child. It's like God's been engraving this name tag for you since the day you were born.
Tony: Dude, you just touched my nipple.
Glenn: Oh, I'm sorry. I... thought I had more clearance, but it is cold in here. Oh, my God, showtime.
Sandra: Okay, go, go, go, go.
Man: Excuse me, do you sell cat carriers?
Tony: Um...
Glenn: Mateo, get this. It's Tony's first customer.
Sandra: Ooh, maybe we can get one where the customer's making a complaint and Tony's like, "Oh, brother."
Man: Sorry, it's just that my cat's in a duffel bag in the car.
Mateo: Okay, I think we have enough photos.
Glenn: Mateo, this is important. It's Tony's first day. I mean, what if he makes a scrapbook for this job? What's he gonna put on page one?
Man: Seriously, I just need...
Glenn: Sir, you are ruining this moment.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: Thinking about getting into camping, but possums kinda freak me out.
Garrett: Dina and I almost kissed yesterday.
Jonah: What?
Garrett: I mean, nothing happened. There was no lip collision. But there was definitely a swerve to miss situation.
Jonah: Is she still with Brian? Did something happen? Are they having issues? Wait, is she into you?
Garrett: Oh, two questions per breath. And I already told you, nothing happened.
Jonah: Well, then why did you bring it up? That's how conversation works.

Quote from Jonah

Sandra: Hey, Jonah. You ready to start training Tony?
Jonah: Sure am. Sup, Tony? You excited to work at Cloud 9?
Tony: Yeah, it's cool.
Jonah: Uh, yeah, it's about to get real cool like, uh, "Brr, grab some extra socks." We're restocking refrigerated items.
Tony: Oh, do I need extra socks?
Jonah: No, it's not that bad.

Quote from Sandra

Sandra: Here, I made him a roast beef sandwich.
Tony: Mom, come on.
Sandra: If he doesn't eat every 45 minutes, he turns into a real grumpasaurus. Oh, and you have my number if you need it, right?
Jonah: Yeah, or I could just wave over to you since we work in the same store.
Sandra: Sorry, just a little nervous. Okay, I'm gonna go. Bye, Tony. Sure you're gonna be okay?
Tony: Mom!

Quote from Cheyenne

Carol: I'm gonna play both of my reversies and send it back to... Sayid.
All: Oh!
Isaac: Oh, yuck.
Cheyenne: Dang, that's cold. Sayid, you're on bathroom duty unless you want to use your Skip Stone, but just remember, you won't get another one until next month.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Anyway, what happened yesterday didn't mean anything. It was just two old horndogs lifting their leg at a familiar tree.
Garrett: Not how I would've said it, but yes. I guess that's what it was. Case closed.
Dina: Okay. So I'm just gonna call Brian and tell him everything.
Garrett: What? Wait, no, you said case closed. The... The case is closed. You can't reopen the case.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: Oh, oh, oh, oh. Okay, all right, love the energy, great job, but you actually have to unwrap the plastic and separate the boxes before you shelf them.
Tony: Oh. Then why'd you say great job?
Jonah: I... don't know. Also there's an F on the pallet here. Do you know what that stands for?
Tony: Yeah. [chuckles]
Jonah: No, no, no, no, not that. Um, mostly because why would it? Uh, the F stands for frozen, so that means you gotta put those in the freezer, not the refrigerator.
Nia: Whoa, Tony. Looks like you got the cool teacher.
Jonah: Yeah, that's me. Hey, kids. Put your books down, we're having class outside today. [Tony goes to put the pizzas down] No, no, no, no, we actually have to stock those.
Nia: All right, I'm gonna go before you bust out the guitar.
Jonah: [chuckles] Yeah.
Nia: I'll see you at lunch.
Jonah: All right, I'll see ya.

Quote from Jonah

Tony: Dude, she wants your nuts.
Jonah: Sorry?
Tony: She's totally into you.
Jonah: Oh, no. She's just being friendly. I mean, we talk politics at lunch, but that's just mostly because she's the only person here who doesn't get her news from all-caps Facebook posts.
Tony: I'm telling you, she was thirsty for it. You gotta quench.
Jonah: Huh. Well, I guess she could've been flirting with me and I didn't pick up on it. Been a while since I've been single and these are new jeans.
Tony: [pizzas fall on floor] Oops. Oh, well. Five second rule, right?
Jonah: Uh, n- no.
