Quote from Kelly

Kelly: Can I just ask, um, what happened with Amy?
Jonah: [sighs] Um... We, you know, just weren't on the same page about our future, and so we decided to break up. It was, uh... mutual.
Kelly: I remember us using that word too.
Jonah: Y- Yeah, but that...
Kelly: I think that people say breakups are mutual because they wanna feel like nobody's the bad guy, but I mean, come on. Usually one person is hurting more than the other.
Jonah: [sighs] You know what? Uh, you're... You're right. I'm sorry, Kelly. I...
Kelly: Oh, no. I'm... I'm good now. I had a lot of rebound sex, and I went to Cabo with my mom, so I'm past it. And- And it looks like you're in a good place too now with your, uh, situation.
Jonah: Yeah. Yeah. In my ex's house with Marcus.
Kelly: So you're good?
Jonah: Yeah! This is... This is exactly what I was going for.
Kelly: Oh, boy. It's coming out... [Jonah sighs] On the day I'm here. Good.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: Here's an idea: Maybe if you're gonna have cold feet about the future of your relationship, tell the guy who's got your two-year-old drooling on his chest. He's my little man by the way, and I love him to death. But maybe you just give him just an indication, you know, that you're gonna pull the rug out because... because let me tell you something, he's very comfortable on that rug. A lot- A lot of plans hinging on that rug staying right where it is. Yeah, we've "moved on." She's moved on! She's living in California in what I imagine is an infinity pool while I am stuck here working at her store, living in her house, dealing with her neighbor's tree that's past the property line. You deal with it, Amy! It's your [bleep] problem. Oh, hey, guys. What's, uh... How long were you...
Eric: Just bringing back your keys.
Mateo: [sighs] Are you okay?
Jonah: Yeah. [sighs] Yeah, I'm good. And you know what, Eric? You can keep the keys. I'm moving out. [walks away and returns] I'm obviously not moving out today, so I need the key. Yeah, thank you.

Quote from Dina

Dina: This is nice. I mean, if we had had this when we were slamming it, I wouldn't have had to reinforce Glenn's desk.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: Eric! Long time, no chill, son. What's up with that?
Eric: Yeah, I don't know.
Jonah: Hey, let's get a hang on the books, okay? Just because Amy's out of the picture doesn't mean that the boys can't sesh.
Eric: [laughs] Oh, speaking of, Amy wants me to ship some of her wall art. I think it's in the garage, so if you're cool with giving me your keys, I can head over to the house now.
Jonah: Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, so what's up with you two? New showerhead, huh? What's... What's the story there?

Quote from Jonah

Garrett: You're still living at Amy's? You said you moved out.
Jonah: I said I was ramping up to move out.
Garrett: How long is the ramp?
Eric: I'm so sorry, I didn't know it was a secret.
Jonah: It's fine.
Mateo: It's not a big deal. He just didn't wanna tell anyone because it's so sad.
Jonah: No, no, I pay rent, all right? I'm only living there because I didn't wanna deal with moving right now, and I didn't mention it because I didn't want any of this, okay?
Garrett: Please tell me you don't take care of all of her plants.
Jonah: They're there, you know? I'm not just gonna let them die.
Garrett: Wow.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: Hey, Jonah, why don't you take a break? I'll handle this.
Jonah: Oh, I already took my break, but thank you.
Glenn: No, I insist. Go get a snack or read or have a good cry.
Jonah: What?
Sandra: Hey, Jonah. How you doing, bud?
Jonah: I'm doing well, thank you... bud. Um, by any chance did either of you hear about my home?
Glenn: Uh, no. What's the scoop? New sconces?
Jonah: Okay, you know what? Look. Guys, I'm fine, all right? The breakup was for the best. We realized we weren't on the same page, so it was hard, but we both moved on, okay?

Quote from Mateo

Mateo: Ugh, that should be us living in Amy's place. You're family, and she's obsessed with me.
Eric: She's not gonna kick him out. They're being, like, super civil and normal, and it's all very boring.
Mateo: That is so gross. I bet he drove her to the airport.
Eric: Wouldn't surprise me.
Mateo: Maybe I could inspire Jonah to move out.
Eric: Isn't that like kicking him while he's down?
Mateo: Everyone kicks Jonah when he's down. It's what we do. You don't know, you're new.

Quote from Jonah

Jonah: Guys, seriously, I'm not depressed.
Sandra: It's gonna be okay, Jonah. You'll maybe find love again.
Janet: I don't know. Who's gonna want him in this condition?
Sandra: Okay, is anybody at checkout? This can't be this interesting.
Sayid: Actually, Jonah, I believe this will be the hot juice of the day.
Jonah: It's really not. It's not hot juice.

Quote from Mateo

Mateo: You guys talking about how sad and broken Jonah is?
Glenn: Uh-huh.
Mateo: I think Amy's house is Jonah subconsciously clinging to the relationship.
Glenn: Wow, that- that makes so much sense.
Mateo: In my opinion, Jonah needs to move out before the real work can begin. I've already found a ton of cute places on Zillow.

Quote from Glenn

Glenn: It might help you to move on if you can just get out your repressed feelings.
Jonah: [sighs] Okay.
Glenn: I do this all the time. Jerusha winds up playing my mother a lot, and she doesn't even need the wig because... Huh.
Jonah: Glenn, I don't need this because I don't have repressed feeling.
Glenn: If you were aware of them, then they wouldn't be repressed. You have to dig from the top down. You gotta say, Amy, it was sad when you left. I felt like you abandoned me.
Sandra: "I hear you, dude. My B."
Glenn: After all I invested in you as an employee and a friend. Oh, Amy, you felt like a daughter to me.
Jonah: Look, Glenn...
Glenn: I just miss her so much.
Jonah: Clearly you have some stuff to sort out. I am going to sit in traffic for 45 minutes and return this.
