"As CEO, cutie enforcing operations, no one will be on the Underwood payroll with the work ethic these chumps have." (Olivia Underwood - Koh Khang Khao). "Can I see the paperwork from whoever passed Kendra's psych evaluation? Because I seriously think you need to do a thorough investigation of that department. Maybe some bribes came in, or you guys ran out of people to cast so just picked someone from the loony bin. It's ridiculous!" (Winona - Lombok), “Go suck an egg!” (Molly Churchill – BS vs SS) "Hey, Greg. You put up a good fight, but unfortunately, I can’t hear broke. See you around" (Dakota Gardner – BS vs SS) “I got chumped… like a chump.” (Jacobiah Smallidge – Mozambique – Advantages) "I know he’s, like, my friend and all that, but I was looking at him, and don’t you think he’s totally hot? Like, smokin’, ten-out-of-ten, H-O-T hot?" (Winter Alan – Mauritius) "I mean, like, only 40% of my ex boyfriends have been over the age of 40. But that smile, that chest hair, those pecs... I'm sorry, but he's hot. I'd tap it if I wasn't afraid of him, y'know, like, dislocating a hip, or dying, or something," (Olivia Underwood – Koh Khang Khao) "I need these duos to go after one another so I can lay back and relax like a New York City hooker, and just like that hooker, hopefully it’ll pay off for me too in the end" (Benny Stein - Koh Khang Khao) "I’m wonderin’ how that chick can even be so lazy, it’s remarkable." (Deidre Ryans – Mauritius) ”It's like a bad joke that keeps getting told, and yet, no one actually finds it funny. Especially me.” (Shonda Kimball – Barbados) “Me? Immature? You forgot to mention the part where you fought me tooth and nail to not do any work here just because you think I have it out for you! Well, there's a reason I have it out for you, you idiot! It's because you're a lazy, childish piece of s***!” (Logan Simmons – Mauritius) “Mhm. My vote. I’m going to vote for who I feel like, okay?" (Olivia Underwood – Koh Khang Khao) "This was the first time that I’ve ever heard Derek talk about himself, I think, like, I didn’t even know he was a stunt double! Did you? Anyway... All I knew about the guy was that his friends call him Decaf, likely due to undiagnosed ADHD if you ask me, which is reliable I’d say, because I love Grey’s Anatomy, and secondly... well... the obvious about him. I’m listening, like, ‘awe’, but no, his social skills suck!" (Olivia Underwood - Koh Khang Khao) "Woman" is being generous, because she's acting like a baby, and she always does whenever things don't go her way. (Winona Kelly – Lombok) ”You've seen snarky Winona, you've seen mildly irritated Winona, but you have never seen angry Winona and she is a cold, manipulative bitch. If you think this is bad, I'm just getting started. You guys at home can sit back, eat your popcorn and send my Emmy in the mail, 'cause I'm going to put on a great show!” (Winona Kelly - Lombok)
