Mateo Quote #437
Quote from Mateo in Cloud 9 Academy
Jonah: I don't understand how you could apply for asylum.
Mateo: [scoffs] It's not easy. "List your extended family." [chuckles] I'm Filipino, that'll take years.
Jonah: Says you need to show that if you were sent back, you might be persecuted based on your, "race, religion, nationality, political opinion, or membership in a particular social group."
Mateo: Well, I was in an a cappella group once in school. I mean, we weren't persecuted, but people were really judge-y.
Jonah: I think they mean more like if you thought you might be arrested because you were, like, a prominent Duterte critic or something.
Mateo: Do you think they'd believe Duterte would have me killed for being in an a capella group? 'Cause we were really bad. Well, not me, I was good, but one guy was off-key all the time.

Quote from Dina
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.
Quote from Marcus
Mateo: Okay, how 'bout we do a rally? [Marcus sighs] Put up some banners, maybe get a band to play or something?
Jasmine: I know someone at the local news. I bet they would do a story on it.
Marcus: No, guys, I say we get some rafts, and we get some paddles and we take this guy down Bay of Pigs style.
Jonah: You know Bay of Pigs ended badly, right?
Marcus: For the pigs, maybe.
Quote from Sandra
Jonah: Hey, Sandra, are you busy later?

Jonah: Well, that... That sounds terrible. I- I- We were just gonna ask you to come to a meeting, but obviously you don't need-
Sandra: I can come. I just made that up to sound like I had plans. [takes pamphlet] Ooh, see you there. All right. Whoo. [walks off]
Mateo: She's really fallen apart since that whole Jerry/Carol thing.
Jonah: She is not okay.
