Edit
  • [first lines]
  • Emily Locke: Guess who just got her first place?
  • Van Wayne: Me, although you can't really call a tiger a place and it's not my first one.
  • [inviting her co-workers to a condo-warming party]
  • Emily Locke: Well, no excuses, 'cause it's super close. In fact you can see it from here. It's right there - that tall black building right where that weird thing is flying.
  • Jackie: The thing that's shooting space rays?
  • Emily Locke: Yeah.
  • [the spaceships blast Emily's condo building with their ray guns]
  • Emily Locke, Jackie, Ron, Wendy: OH!
  • Wendy: That's why I rent.
  • Teddy: How did we elect a president who tweets in all caps?
  • [Emily's condo has been destroyed by alien spaceships]
  • Ron: I like the open floor plan.
  • Wendy: There's so much natural light.
  • [Emily is wearing a borrowed sweater covered with pictures of cats]
  • Van Wayne: Emily, this is Chairman West.
  • Chairman Dean West: Nice to meet you... Catwoman.
  • Ron: What's going to happen to our jobs?
  • Chairman Dean West: [breaking the fourth wall] Will this ragtag collection of plucky performers keep their positions or will they be thrown to the wolves? Find out next week.
  • Teddy: What's next week?
  • Chairman Dean West: Oh, that's when the head of HR gets back from vacation.
  • [Emily's division has been purchased by LexCorp]
  • Van Wayne: I don't know about you, but I'm making a play to stay.
  • Emily Locke: Oh my god, Van! Did you shave your head just to suck up to Lex Luthor?
  • Van Wayne: Emily, this is a fresh start for me. I got a new ass to kiss, a new nose to brown. If anyone asks, I've always been bald.
  • [the gang accidentally enter the wrong room in the basement of LexCorp]
  • Emily Locke: Oh my god! This is a wormhole!
  • Wendy: This place has everything!
  • [using her newly acquired super-speed, Jackie rescues the gang from Lex Luthor's henchmen]
  • Emily Locke: Oh my god! Jackie, are you the Flash?
  • Jackie: No! These dummies gave me super powers.
  • Teddy: It worked!
  • Emily Locke: How did you find us?
  • Jackie: I saw on Emily's Twitter account that you were at LexCorp, so I searched all the rooms at super-speed, got a Froyo, went to California, learned ju-jitsu - which is how I knocked out these guys - and then I found you.
  • Ron: So, you have super-speed and you're not going to use it?
  • Jackie: No, I hate it. You get a bunch of bugs in your teeth, it's murder on your shoes and I don't have any excuses now for being late.
  • [last lines]
  • Chairman Dean West: [apparently speaking to the camera] What will become of our little gang of scrappy underdogs? Will Bruce Wayne bail out our heroes or will the treacherous Lex Luthor seek revenge?
  • [the gang slowly reacts to Chairman West's speech as the camera reveals he's speaking to a potted plant]
  • Chairman Dean West: What do you think, tree? You always tell me the truth.
  • Van Wayne: Why is he talking to a plant?
  • Teddy: Are we even sure he works here?
  • Emily Locke: You know, we might still have our jobs.
  • Van Wayne: I'm going to call Bruce.
