‘Perfect Store’

Season 6, Episode 14 -  Aired March 25, 2021

Amy returns to Cloud 9 to help the employees make the store perfect for one day as an analyst from Corporate visits to decide the branch's fate.

Quote from Cheyenne

Amy: We can't let a bag of feet be her last impression of the store.
Jonah: [sighs] I know. I'd go talk to her, but I only know who she is because of you. She'd know that you were helping us.
Cheyenne: Oh, I could slash her tires to keep her here longer. Huh, I don't know what car is hers, so I guess I could just do them all.
Amy: Um, thanks, Chey, but maybe not yet.
Cheyenne: Okay.

Quote from Carol

Mateo: How about 25 an hour?
Carol: Sure. So that means I can hire you for about eight hours total. Does next Tuesday work for you?
Marcus: Just one day? [chuckles] I was thinking it would be more of a full-time thing, you know, just so I could eat and stuff.
Carol: I don't have that kind of money.
Mateo: What? You just got a huge settlement.
Carol: Yeah, I thought so, too, but when you add up lawyer fees and taxes and all my texts they discovered about wanting to get injured here, it ended up only being about 20 thou. Anyway, I'm gonna try to get Cheyenne's friend to take his shirt off.
Mateo: You do that.

Quote from Jonah

Reporter: Today, a new chapter in one of St. Louis's darkest stories. A duffel bag filled with eight severed human feet has turned up inside the Ozark Highlands Cloud store. One employee has agreed to tell us what he knows. Jonah, this is not the first time feet have been found here. In fact, the internet has already dubbed this store Toe-zark Highlands.
Jonah: Is that... Is that so? That's the first I'm hearing of it.
Reporter: Why do you think he or she - but let's be honest, he - sees your store as an ideal dumping ground?
Jonah: Uh, well, Natalie, he probably likes it for the same reason everybody else does, you know. Our fast and friendly service, our convenient parking, and our strong sense of community.
Reporter: I see.
Sandra: [watching on TV] I don't think he answered her question.
Garrett: Yeah, it's a tough pivot.

Quote from Amy

Megan: Wait, why are you here?
Amy: Look, um... I know that the foot thing is bad. I'm not trying to say that it's not, but you can't close this store. You- You just... you can't. I... I don't have a good reason why, but these people are my family. I... I... I grew up here. I spent half of my life...
Megan: Amy, we're not closing this one.
Amy: What? Really?
Megan: It has great square footage, nice and central. It'll make a perfect fulfillment center.
Amy: A fulfillment center?
Megan: Mm-hmm.
Amy: So it's not gonna be a store anymore? Well, what about everybody's jobs?
Megan: Well, I'm sure they'll keep a handful of people but...
Amy: No, you can't just do this to us...
Megan: Well, Amy, you'll keep your job.
Amy: [looks at the employees] No I won't. 'Cause I quit.

Quote from Amy

Amy: [on video call] Okay, so I asked around, and it's true. Zephra is shifting most of Cloud 9's business online, so... they're gonna be closing some stores.
Glenn: Some? Oh. Okay, well, I mean, what's some? Like, four?
Dina: Three or four. Exactly. Well, that's not bad. I like our chances.
Amy: No, it's bad, guys. They're closing most of the stores. The number I heard was 95%.
Glenn: What?
Cheyenne: So we're, like, screwed?
Amy: Maybe not. I'm gonna try to get this store picked as one of the survivors. I'm still figuring out what that process looks like but, guys... we're not gonna go down without a fight.
Dina: Wait, aren't you supposed to be the liaison to Cloud 9? I mean, not a great sign that they didn't clue you in.
Amy: I'm doing great, Dina. Some people invited me to a concert in the park last week.
Dina: That's a free concert, Amy. That's not an invite. That's like telling someone where the bathroom is. You're really belly-flopping out there, huh?
Amy: I am not belly-flopping.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: And I feel bad because everybody's looking at me like, "What can we do?"
Hannah: Yeah, that's hard, 'cause in this case, what can you do? It's done.
Jonah: Yeah. [sighs] I mean, you know, it's not done yet, you know.
Hannah: Really?
Jonah: Well, I mean, we don't have to jump to done. 5% isn't a good chance, but it's... it's a chance. You know, that's what? The odds are what?
Hannah: 5%.
Jonah: Yes, 5%, and no, but seriously, and we've got somebody from corporate on the inside who's pushing for us.
Hannah: Yeah, and that's really great, but I don't know if pushing matters to a big corporation. I mean, decisions like this involve months of planning, so...
Jonah: Yeah, but I... But, I mean, you know, nothing's final yet.
Hannah: Yeah, I guess.
Jonah: I mean, we have to do something. We're not just gonna... We're just gonna give up? [chuckles] No, we're not, so... [clears throat] It's really... It's smelly out here today, huh?
Hannah: That's your subject change?
Jonah: Yeah, well, you know, you use what you have.

Quote from Amy

Jonah: What are you doing here?
Amy: You didn't know? Oh. Oh, God. Cheyenne, I thought you were gonna tell him I was coming.
Cheyenne: Yeah, I was going to, but I figured it would be awkward.
Amy: Oh, well, I'm glad we avoided that.

Quote from Garrett

Sandra: Don't worry, Jonah and Amy will figure something out. They always do.
Garrett: Yeah, totally. Hey, did she say hi to you?
Sandra: Yeah, why?
Garrett: Oh, no, it's nothing. It's just that... I don't think she said hi to me yet.
Sandra: She said hi to everyone this morning.
Garrett: No, she said, "Hi, everyone." Okay, so I'm just supposed to share a hello with Elias? Nah, dude, I'm 40 years old.
Sandra: I think she's just a little preoccupied.
Garrett: Yeah, right, of course. I mean, I'm kidding. [laughs] It would be funny if I cared, though, right? Right.

Quote from Glenn

Dina: Sorry, Puppet Mike, you can't come in today.
Mike: This is discrimination!
Dina: No, no, no, it's just... it's a no-freaks day. You understand.
Glenn: Tell you what. Come back tomorrow, and you'll both get a cup of coffee on me.
Mike: Go [bleep] yourself!
Glenn: [gasps] Chef Luigi!

Quote from Sandra

Man: Wow. Those smell great. How much?
Sandra: Oh, they're not for sale. They're not even shaped into cookies. It's just a mound.
Man: How much for the mound?
