Jane Leeves: Joy Scroggs

Quotes 

• [first lines] 

  Joy Scroggs : [Bob and Joy kiss passionately]  Did they see us?

  Bob : Yes, lover.

  Joy Scroggs : They can't hear us; you don't need to call me lover.

  Bob : It's called undercover work, Joy. We're chasing identity thieves here, crafty and suspicious; if we want to get close to them we have to convince them we're just an ordinary couple.

  Joy Scroggs : Got it.

  Bob : But we mustn't get too attached, you and I. That will only lead to heartbreak. Your heartbreak.

• Bob : I'll meet you at the motel. But just so you know, John Johnson sleeps in the nude.

  Joy Scroggs : And just so *you* know, Natasha Johnson sleeps with scissors.

  Bob : Pajamas it is, then.

• Joy Scroggs : Are you saying you're running for city council? You don't know anything about politics.

  Victoria Chase : Well, what does Sonny Bono know? Clint Eastwood? The Schwarzenegger couldn't even pronounce the name of the state he was in.

  Bob : Yes!

  [speeddials cellphone] 

  Bob : Hi. Joy, this is Bob. I-I've made a terrible mistake. Look. I'm jumping on the next flight and then the connecting flight and then the puddle-jumper and then the snowmobile and... then I'll be at your door. Yes. I'll, I'll see you in two weeks.

• Joy Scroggs : Thanks, Melanie. You're good at this. Bye.

  Melanie Moretti : You know, I *am* good at this. I mean, when I'm just being myself. See, I was told I needed to be more folksy, more Honey Boo-Boo. But people like those shows because they're being themselves. So for the rest of Askageddon, I'm just going to be me, and I hope you like it.

  [the board guy taps on the window and points to his watch] 

  Melanie Moretti : And that concludes Askageddon. I'll see you tomorrow, folks... I hope.

  Victoria Chase : Look at this turnout. You know, Elka's only a few signatures away from getting on the ballot. And her dog park twitter account is trending.

  Elka Ostrovsky : [laughing]  At Elka stop less parks.

  Melanie Moretti : [looks at @elkastoplessparks banner]  You know, when you look at that, it looks like Elka's topless parks.

  Elka Ostrovsky : [innocently]  Does it?

  Bob : Well, Joy, I've got a plane to catch.

  Joy Scroggs : Bob's selling the agency and moving back to Canada.

  Bob : I made the new owner promise to keep Joy on. He seems like a good guy.

  Joy Scroggs : Good guy, huh?

  Bob : Yup. I guess when you look like him, you kind of have to be.

  [shows joy a picture of a handsome man] 

  Joy Scroggs : I can work with that.

  Bob : That's the spirit, Joy. Looks aren't everything.
