Mateo Quote #241

Quote from Mateo in Cloud 9 Academy

Mateo: So I was just folding pants, and I had the best idea: I should take down Duterte.
Jonah: And you got that from pants?
Mateo: It's just so I qualify for asylum, but here, check out my Facebook page...
Jonah: "Ermagherd, Duterte."
Mateo: Mm-hmm.
Jonah: "Rodrigo Duterte doesn't respect human rights, but that's none of my business," over a picture of Kermit the Frog sipping tea.
Mateo: That one's got a lot of likes.
Jonah: Yeah, I don't know that reposting a bunch of memes qualifies you as a political dissident.
Mateo: Well, then what would?
Jonah: I don't know, uh... Actually being the leader of an actual activist group that actually opposes Duterte.
Mateo: Ugh, okay, fine. Marcus, I'm starting a group, you in?
Marcus: Definitely.
Jonah: Revolution begins.

Garrett: I think Glenn's kid is getting hungry. Do we have any more of that formula?
Dina: She doesn't drink formula, she's still on breast-milk. I've been pumping and selling it to Glenn for a dollar an ounce. It's Iranian saffron prices.
