Quotes
Mare: Bye, Sampson.
Ned: Bye, Pritti.
Ned: If we're gonna put out emergency tornado updates, maybe we need a mascot for the app. Something like Wee Willie Weather?
Nicole: No, not that. Tornado's like a funnel, so what about Funzie?
Detrick: Oh, cool, so kids could run right towards it?
Oscar: Ned, how about Windy?
Travis: Well, see, that sounds like a hurricane.
Oscar: Well, it could be half-hurricane, half-tornado.
Ned: Oh, that's diverse. I like that. Good.
Nicole: What's Windy's gender? Long eyelashes could be cute.
Adam: Windy should be a boy, and he should wear pants so we don't see his thing.
Oscar: Windy doesn't have a penis. He's made of wind.
Barry: What happened to his penis?
Oscar: He was born without one.
Esmeralda: We had cake and champagne and you didn't. And you will never see your friend Mare again.
Mare: I was just saying today is my first day. So excited to be here. I'm Mare.
Todd: That it?
Mare: Yeah.
Todd: Well, that wasn't worth it.
Mare: I have three brothers. I'm allergic to eggplant. And, uh... Oh, okay, this is actually kind of fun. I did 23andMe and found out that I have more Neanderthal DNA than 92% of the population.
Esmeralda: (wearing a blonde wig) I'm New Mare. I can't live any longer in the bullpen. I need to get my office back. Marv listens to Ned. And Ned clearly favors women who dress like Big Orphan Annie.
Esmeralda: When people are jealous of you, that doesn't make you a narcissist. Okay?
Salty Peanuts: Full-time, non-provisional member Salty Peanuts, WBRT, The Bert What place does AM Radio have in this?
Ned: Take it easy, Mr. Peanuts. No one cares about AM Radio.
Adelola: Why are you taking that creepy-ass doll?
Travis: Because I brought it. It's my prop. It makes the photos more interesting if people think a little girl lived here.
Adelola: What, like she died in a tornado?
Travis: No, she escaped before it hit. She just forgot it. Or, yeah, I don't know. Maybe it's up for interpretation. That's what makes it poignant as hell.
Adelola: Oh, look, a notification from Windy. "Wind can be fun, but maybe put off that jog around the park. There's a tornado warning in effect."
(Back at the office)
Ned: That's not alarmist, is it?
Oscar: No, no, no. That is sober messaging. Without fearmongering. Windy is our Lester Holt.
Travis: I recently accepted that my belief in an afterlife is performative. And that my only real shot at immortality would be a truly legendary, viral YouTube video.
Travis: Is my Ford Fiesta capable of storm chasing? I have evenly distributed four 70-pound kettlebells in the trunk, so we might as well be anchored to the ground.
Esmeralda: While we are talking, did you hear that word that Ned called me before? "Narcissist"? But a narcissist... would never offer someone a pen.
Oscar: I think a narcissist could offer someone a pen, theoretically, if they thought they might benefit by doing that.
Esmeralda: So, what would a narcissist not do, in case I meet one?
Oscar: A narcissist would not sincerely put someone else's needs in front of their own.
Esmeralda: Okay. I see. How was your weekend?
Adelola: What would your death row meal be?
Travis: Well, was I rightfully accused?
Adelola: Yes.
Travis: Okay, then, probably a cold cup of broth. Or gruel is fine, because I wouldn't deserve better.
Adelola: Okay, we keep driving at it, but it's not moving.
Travis: You know, in boats if a boat is not moving, it means it's coming right at you.
Ned: I see a funnel over by Jamie Farr Park, but it's headed away from us over the lake.
Randy: Hey, that's Detroit's problem now. Ha, ha!
