‘Salary’

Season 4, Episode 15 -  Aired April 11, 2019

Amy's first day as store manager turns awkward after her salary is accidentally revealed to her subordinates. Meanwhile, Mateo attempts to assume the floor manager role, while Glenn's cheery attitude in his new floor job rubs Garrett the wrong way.

Quote from Dina

Jonah: Hey, so I'm restocking this cereal, and there's something moving inside. It's definitely alive, because I can hear it scratching.
Dina: I don't care about a cereal roach. What I care about is you keeping your big nose - that's not a slur, just an expression - out of my business.
Jonah: What are you talking about?
Dina: The way you [bleep] me out of that security system. Let's keep something straight. You're the boyfriend.
I'm the assistant manager. You get this, and you get this, maybe this that's between you guys, I don't want to know.
Jonah: Dina.
Dina: I said I don't want to know. But this - everything north of the fun park - this is my domain.
Jonah: So, basically, you're asking me to keep my opinions to myself and limit my relationship with Amy to wordless, mindless sex.
Dina: Exactly. Huh. I thought this was going to be a harder conversation.
Jonah: I'm not saying no, but if I did, just out of curiosity, what would happen?
Dina: Help me out, man. Don't make me make her dump you. Don't make me do that.
Jonah: I think I'm gonna make you do it.
Dina: [sighs] Fine. You had your chance. And, again, the nose thing wasn't... You get it. I love everyone.

Quote from Mateo

Mateo: Marcus, I'm gonna need you to fill in for Brett 'cause he raged out on someone's baby again. Sayid, clean the pharmacy counter. The kids have been inhaling the pill dust.
Sayid: Why are you telling us what to do? You're not floor supervisor.
Mateo: Yeah, you're right. I just went to Office Supplies, picked up a clipboard, filled it with blank paper, and started giving people orders, without any authority whatsoever. [laughs] I mean, come on.
Marcus: Come on, get with the program, Sayid.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: [sings] Grab a couple cans, stack 'em like blocks Grab another can, start a new row Having so much fun, watch me as I go [customer knocks tins over]
Man: Sorry. [keeps walking]
Garrett: That sucks. Welcome to that floor-worker life.
Glenn: I wanted to rebuild it anyway, 'cause I think if I make the base wider, I can go even higher.
Garrett: Glenn, you know, it's okay to complain. I do it all the time.
Glenn: Well, I know you do.
Garrett: What's that supposed to mean?
Glenn: There's no such thing as a bad job. If you have a good attitude, every job is fun.
Garrett: It's not my attitude. This is a terrible job.
Glenn: Well, okay. Whatever you say. [sings] Stacking up the canned foods [talks] Come on, now. Let's see it. Wave those hands. [sings] Stacking up the canned foods [talks] Come on! You know you want to.

Quote from Myrtle

Jonah: Oh, hey, Myrtle. What are you doing here?
Myrtle: I just finished eating all the jelly beans she asked me to. [chuckles]
Amy: Myrtle is my new assistant.
Jonah: Oh.
Amy: Yes.
Myrtle: What should I do next?
Amy: Um, why don't you take the sales announcements to Garrett?
Myrtle: Oh, Garrett. Is he the- What do they like to be called these days?
Amy: No, no, no, no. Let's not get into that. Just take it over to customer service.
Myrtle: Aye, aye, Captain.

Quote from Garrett

Amy: I'm very sorry. Obviously, I didn't intend to tell everyone how much I was making. And, honestly, I'm quite surprised that anyone receiving that information from a clearly confused and elderly woman would make that announcement.
Garrett: I'm a good soldier. I do what I'm told.

Quote from Dina

Dina: It's probably tough on Jonah, though.
Jonah: Can't imagine where this is going.
Dina: I'm just saying making so much less money than your girlfriend, it's got to be emasculating. Probably makes it tough to get an erection.
Jonah: My erections are fine, thank you.
Mateo: Fine? [chuckles] Lucky lady.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: Oop! Does anyone need any extra mayonnaise? 'Cause it's on me.
Justine: [laughs] Good one.
Garrett: It's nice that you can find the humor in all this.
Glenn: Well, full disclosure I stole that from Hi and Lois.
Garrett: Hey, you know, if I was in your shoes, I'd just be thinking about that $90,000 a year that I walked away from. You know, over the next 20 years, that's $1.8 million? So I don't think anybody would blame you if you were a little upset.
Glenn: No, I'm fine. Hey, but do you feel like a BLT? I do, 'cause I'm covered in mayonnaise!
Justine: [laughs] BLT! Oh, my God. I am literally dead.
Garrett: No, Justine, it's not funny! He's a miserable man, and it's a terrible job. [knocks over drink] Clean that up, dork.
Glenn: Uh-oh. Clean up on aisle have-what-she's-having.
Justine: [laughs] Stop! I'm gonna pee my pants.
Glenn: Well, if you do, I'll clean that up, too.
Justine: Stop! Oh, it's happening!
Glenn: Oh, God! Yeah, yeah.
Justine: [laughs] Not again.

Quote from Sandra

Dina: Oh, what happened here?
Sandra: I think it's slushie vomit. And there's a whole sandwich in the middle, but I'm pretty sure someone just dropped it in after.
Amy: Yeah, probably. People don't usually eat those whole. [Sandra grunts as she bends down] Are you okay?
Sandra: Oh. My knees are just acting up. I'm trying not to go to the doctor 'cause I'm saving up for a bike. The bus driver keeps trying to drive me to his house.
Amy: Well, why don't you go take a break? I'll clean this up. I can do this.
Dina: What are you doing? You're the manager, not some vomit girl like Sandra.
Sandra: It's fine. Some of it is mine, actually, you know, 'cause of the smell.
Amy: Look, guys, it's not like I'm above cleaning up vomit now. I'm still, "Amy from the block, girl."
Sandra: Thank you.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: Garrett, I just found the funniest thing while I was cleaning. It was a rat inside a used condom. I was like, "How did you get in there, little fella?"
Garrett: This is a bad job, okay? This is a soul-crushing, miserable place to work. I know that. I know that in my heart. Nothing you say will ever, ever take that away from me. [exits]
Glenn: [cheerily] Okay. See you later.

Quote from Amy

Jonah: How cool is this?
Amy: It's very cool.
Jonah: That's it? You have your own office now. You've made it. How are you not ecstatic?
Amy: I'm happy. What do you want me to do?
Jonah: I don't know. Spin around in your chair, feel the power.
Amy: [lowly spins around in her chair] Is this good for you? Feels pretty powerful to me.
Jonah: I feel like you're mocking me.
Amy: No. I would never.
