Jonah Quote #206

Quote from Jonah in Part-Time Hires

Amy: So now Justine might have to get her jaw wired shut. You see, this is what happens when you try to be friends with your kid. She could be zoning, she could be cleaning, but no. She's just standing there.
Jonah: Do you think any of this might be stemming from the fact that you feel like you're losing control of...
Amy: See, this is how it starts. First, she's texting at work. And then she's not doing her homework. And then she's hanging out with the bad kids. And before you know it, she's pregnant and addicted to pills and dancing for strangers.
Jonah: Oh, those were... those are really bad kids. You want me to, uh... want me to go yell at her?
Amy: Yes. Actually, yeah. That would be great.
Jonah: Oh, no, no, no, no. I was just kidding. I never yell. Even when I'm mad, I just push it down really deep, and then sometimes I wake up in the middle of the night, panicked and sweaty for no reason.

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.
