Quote from Amy
Jonah: Okay, I know that this looks bad, but I have an idea...
Amy: No.
Jonah: No, no, just hear me out...
Amy: No. No! No more. I have bent over backwards all day long to make men feel comfortable. These guys, Glenn, you.
Jonah: Me?
Amy: Yes, you. Jonah, I wasted my afternoon in that meeting just to go along with your new cause, and I know you feel bad about the union, and I'm sorry about that, but making men feel better is not my job!
Jonah: Okay, calm... up, you... come up with the best ideas.
Amy: This ends now. [Jonah sighs] But first, can you sneak me a burger? With cheese.
Quote from Sandra
Sandra: So I've been doing some thinking, and I want Carol to be my co-maid of honor.
Garrett: And you're good with this?
Sandra: Uh-huh.
Dina: Why are you looking at Carol?
Sandra: I'm not.
Dina: You are. Do you not feel your eyes moving? What's wrong with your head?
Sandra: I'm good with this.
Carol: Oh, that's so sweet. I'm gonna make sure this wedding is unforgettable.
Dina: Ah, it's not the worst idea. I mean, she's clearly more invested than I am.
Carol: We can go now.
Sandra: Okay.
Carol: This way.
Sandra: Oh, this way.
Quote from Glenn
Glenn: The press release says that the new company's based in California. Are we all gonna have to start caring about the environment?
Dina: No, the buy-out won't interfere with you destroying the planet.
Quote from Amy
Amy: Guys. Calm down, it's... It's all gonna be fine. Look, Corporate sent over a memo that says, "Cloud 9 is excited about this exciting new chapter full of exciting possibilities."
Jonah: An alarming number of times to say "exciting."
Quote from Jonah
Jonah: So Saint Louis has this program where you can request a free tree, you know to fight climate change, and I figure we owe one.
Amy: Jonah, I cut down one tree for Christmas purposes.
Jonah: Well, I kind of already ordered ten for the parking lot. We'll have to lose some spaces, but it'll encourage public transportation.
Amy: Look, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but this is just not the week for me to tear up the parking lot...
Jonah: You don't have to. I'll do it. Or I'll find someone with a machine.
Amy: Look, I know that the union dying was really hard.
Jonah: Not dying, just napping.
Amy: Sure. A-and I'm really glad that you're still looking for something to fight for, but in the last month there's been the voter registration, and the bricks in the toilet for the water conservation, and then that poor dog you rescued from his own backyard.
Jonah: That yard was a mess, and he was skittish.
Amy: Yeah, because a stranger was taking him from his home.
Quote from Amy
Marcus: And what do I tell my guys? With deliveries down, everyone's worried about their jobs.
Amy: Just tell 'em that nothing's gonna change. Probably.
Dina: Emphasize "probably." It's not reassuring, but it is honest.
Marcus: All right.
Quote from Glenn
Amy: Look, everything is so hectic with this acquisition, and I need a floor supervisor, and you are the obvious choice.
Glenn: This is such an honor.
Dina: Oh, God.
Glenn: I'm getting emotional. I don't know if it's that music that you're playing, but...
Amy: Oh, I'm just on hold with Corporate trying to get more produce into the store.
Glenn: Oh, shouldn't be a problem today. It's looking really husky out there.
Dina: Right? So husky.
Glenn: I know.
Amy: Anyway, so you can start right away?
Glenn: Um, actually, I'm not sure. It's just that when I supervise, I stress, when I stress, I drink juice, and when I drink juice, I develop Type 2 diabetes, so... Could I just think about it for a little while?
Quote from Glenn
Amy: Oh, oh, Glenn, Glenn, Glenn!
Glenn: Oh! Amy. Amy Sosa, sorry I didn't see you there.
Amy: Have you made a decision about the floor supervisor thing? I mean, I don't mean to pressure you, but I could really use the help. I mean, I'm doing all this floor work, and I'm trying to get through to Corporate...
Glenn: Well, yes, I've made a decision. And my decision is... [starts to back away]
Amy: What are you?
Glenn: Um...
Amy: Glenn, why are you...
Glenn: That I... That... That I need until end of day!
Amy: Sure, take your time!
Quote from Marcus
Marcus: Hey, you don't have to front. Okay, Dan's cool. I mean, he gets it. He's got ducks all over his tie, he's clearly not cool.
Dan: Well, they're mallards, so not just ducks, but yeah. I get it. You're fighting back because men are under attack.
Jonah: By shirts?
Marcus: Yeah, I mean haven't you noticed that the entire women's clothing section just keeps getting bigger? And now they got these rad shirts that are only made for women?
Sayid: And they put them right where the Hawaiian shirts used to be. I was saving up for one. I was gonna look so chill.
Marcus: First the radio silence from Corporate, and now this? It's obvious... the new CEO is gonna clean house and only let women work here from now on.
Jonah: Well, that would be illegal.
Dan: Exactly! That's why you have to do something about it.
Earl: Women get enough special treatment already. You ever been in the ladies bathroom? There's no pee on the floor. None.
Jonah: Okay, guys, settle down. I mean, I get that the acquisition and the bathroom floor might have everybody a little bit on edge, but I mean, everybody gets that you guys matter. We're all good.
Dan: You're right. Guys do matter.
Quote from Jonah
Amy: Gotta say, your new cause is unexpected.
Jonah: Look, this was just kind of a spiraling situation.
Amy: This one just says bacon. Is that their stance? Bacon?
Jonah: Yeah, they were really proud of that one.
