Dina Quote #524

Quote from Dina in Scanners

Dina: You know what's weird to think about? That the default Newton was fig. I mean, why would you start there?
Amy: Yeah, I guess that is random. You'd think they start with something more basic, like strawberry.
Dina: Exactly, and then after many years, and trying many different fruits, maybe you take a chance on fig.
Amy: But, it's not a cookie, it's a straw-Newton? That doesn't have the same ring.
Dina: I guess. [sighs] Well, I guess at some point, we should discuss the new schedule and figure out where those hours are going to come from.
Amy: [groans] Yeah. Hey, what are you watching these days?
Dina: Mostly knife trick tutorials on YouTube. I can do a double rollout with a five-inch butterfly.
Amy: Grownups watch YouTube?
Dina: That's all I watch. What else do I need? It has everything you ever want to see in one place.

Quote from Dina

Amy: Well, this sucks. Corporate's the one reducing hours. I'm just the one making the schedule.
Dina: Well, you can't really blame them for trying to cut costs in this world of online retail. Have you been to FashionThreads.com? They sell everything we do, but at half the price.
Woman: Really? [walks off]
Amy: Okay, we have to stop talking about online retail in the store.
Dina: Look, if people here are pissed at you, that's their problem. Just shrug it off.
Amy: Well, that's easy for you to say, Dina. You're not the one that they're going to be blaming for taking away their pay.
Dina: Hell, if you want, tell everyone I made the schedule. I don't care if people hate me. In some sexual situations, I prefer it.
Woman: [returns] Excuse me, what is that website again?
Dina: FashionThreads.com, but if you want, I can send you a link, and then we'll both get a code that gets us 10% off our next purchase.

Quote from Dina

Dina: Listen, technology has been taking jobs for years. Think about what happened with bank tellers and ATM machines.
Jonah: It's just ATMs.
Dina: Exactly. It's only ATM machines now.
Jonah: No, you don't need the "machines."
Dina: Nobody needs the machines, but it makes our lives easier.
