Dina: So what's your deal? You waiting for someone to buy you liquor or something?
Jackson: No, I'm waiting for my mom. She works here.
Dina: Who's your mom?
Jackson: Janet Woods.
Dina: You didn't hear? She died, like, a month ago.
Jackson: What?
Dina: Woods! Sorry, I was thinking Rogers. No, no, your mom's not dead. She's very alive. Cool science kit.
Jackson: Thanks?
Dina: I'm sorry you're not going to be able to go to that STEM science program thing. It's just a tough economy right now, you know?
Jackson: Wait, I can't go to the program?
Dina: I don't know. I mean, maybe, maybe not. You should talk to your mom. I mean, she she knows you better than I do. Oh, you're really Droopy Dog about this, aren't you? Ah...

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.
