Dina Quote #520

Quote from Dina in Scanners

Dina: Hey boss, quick question. Do we have any wiggle room on hours?
Amy: Uh, well, I don't know. You made the schedule!
Dina: Ha-ha. Yeah. I was just hoping to give a few extra to Janet. Just met her son cute kid and I, uh, feel kind of bad.
Amy: Yeah, I mean, I wish we could, but they were really strict about cutbacks, and if we give her more, we're gonna have to take them from someone else and then that's just gonna start a whole thing, so...
Dina: Mm-hmm, yeah. No, absolutely. I get it. Don't even worry about it. I was, uh, just wanting to ask.
Amy: You okay?
Dina: You know what's funny? I've, uh, never had a problem hearing people's sob stories. It's, like, that's just words, but when you when you see them, the people actually hurting, it's, uh it's kind of a bummer.

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.

Dina: Nobody needs the machines, but it makes our lives easier.
