Jonah Quote #209

Quote from Jonah in Part-Time Hires

Garrett: Basically, Dina and I decided together to break up. And now she's going around, she's telling everybody that she dumped me...
Jonah: Oh.
Garrett: Which is not true.
Jonah: Oh.
Garrett: Okay. It was mutual. Can you stop active listening?
Jonah: Oh, yes, sorry, continue.
Garrett: And I feel like I want to let everyone know, but Dina's in a rough place, and I don't want it to look like I'm kicking her when she's down.
Jonah: Got it, okay, so... unh. Let's unpack this. Uh, it sounds to me like you're looking for a way to let everybody know what happened with you and Dina without it reflecting poorly on you.
Garrett: That's exactly what I just said.
Jonah: Okay. That's a toughie. That is a tough, tough toughie.
Garrett: Okay, this isn't gonna work.
Jonah: Wait, no, no, no, no! I can do better. Let me... Give me a do-over. Come back. I'll pretend like this didn't happen.

Quote from Carol

Carol: Wanna hear a secret?
Kelly: Sure.
Carol: I have a plan to get Jerry back.
Kelly: I'm sorry. I don't know who...
Carol: Sandra's boyfriend. Well, my boyfriend that she stole from me. He's in a coma, but I'm going to sneak into his hospital room when she's not there. I climb up on the bed, and oopsy! I forgot my underwear. Next thing you know, I'm pregnant with Jerry's baby. Now, stay with me, because this is where it starts to get a little dark.
Kelly: That's okay.
Carol: You don't want to hear the rest?
Kelly: No, I'm cool.

Quote from Dina

Dina: You don't have any of my photos, because I don't pose for them. [laughs] You know, if I ever got kidnapped, the police would have quite a time finding a current photo to put on the news.

Quote from Jonah

Amy: She just has such an attitude since the divorce. That's why I'm making her work here. I'm hoping she gets some discipline.
Jonah: And you're not worried that if you're too hard on her, Adam gets to be the good guy?
Amy: What? No.
Jonah: It's just that when my parents separated, they both wanted to be the favorite. I came home one day and my dad had gotten me a ten-disc box set of Churchill speeches.
Amy: And that was something you wanted?
Jonah: Uh, yeah. I'm still closer with him than I am with my mom. Although that might be because he doesn't send me long, pointless texts about book club.
