Quotes 

• Van Wayne : I'm glad you're all excited about the corporate retreat. A special shoutout to the Legal Department who just settled the lawsuit from last year's retreat. I'm looking at you, Wendy - Ms. Blackout-and-Get-Naked.

  Wendy : That wasn't the order it happened in.

• Teddy : Why did you put Dorothy in our group? Okay, you know she's not gonna be an asset in the tug-of-war, I'll tell you that right now.

  Emily Locke : My job is to look out for everybody.

  Van Wayne : Oh, uh-uh, Dorothy can ride in my chopper. I mean, she's so old, maybe I'll just drop her off in heaven.

  Jackie : Are they feeding you jokes in an earpiece?

  Van Wayne : No.

  Jackie : No?

  Jackie : What a great use of a Harvard education.

  Emily Locke : Shut up, Teddy.

• Jackie : Guys, Van/Gabe is right. I think we know the sacrifice we need to make to get Emily back in here.
