Quotes 

• [last lines] 

  Emily Locke : What a crazy coincidence? Batman came up with his own Jack-O-Lert.

  Teddy : In midnight black. Subtle. Powerful. Slimming.

  Ron : I wish we worked for Batman. I feel like *he'd* really get us.

  Emily Locke : Well, maybe someday we will.

• [first lines] 

  Emily Locke : Just moved here for a new job. Really excited. How long have you lived in Charm City?

  Man : Long enough to know it sucks.

  Emily Locke : I don't know. I like it. A little bigger than where I grew up, but not that different...

  [sound of evil laughter followed by a crashing noise] 

  Emily Locke : Except for that.

• Emily Locke : Wow. You don't see that every day.

  Man : Actually, you do. You see it every day.

  Emily Locke : I'm still gonna take a photo.

• Emily Locke : Thank you again for this opportunity, Mr. Wayne.

  Van Wayne : Please. Call me Van. Now, my cousin Bruce, he likes to be called Mr. Wayne. I call him B-Dubs. We're very close. And I just told him about you.

  Emily Locke : You talked to Bruce Wayne about me?

  Van Wayne : No, I texted him. He's hard to reach. But... look at his reply.

  Emily Locke : [reading text]  Stop using my HBO Go password.

• Emily Locke : That's amazing. What is it?

  Ron : It's called the Wear Bag. It protects collateral damage from superhero battles. We're talking about projectiles, falling debris, direct blows.

  [Wendy punches Steve in his gut] 

  Teddy : It's only good for one use.

  Wendy : I know. That's for taking my muffin, Steve.

• Emily Locke : This morning, my train was blown off the track, which apparently happens every day around here. Let's come up with something that solves things like that.

  Teddy : That's a brilliant idea. Let's just summon a wizard. Shazam! Ah, nothing.

• Emily Locke : Why are they shutting us down?

  Van Wayne : Bruce says we're obsolete. Gone are the days of a man in a bandit mask stealing a ruby from a museum. Now it's all just supervillains trying to destroy the Earth and superheroes fighting one another for vaguely defined reasons. Our products are powerless to stop that.

  Van Wayne : So he just gave up on us? I thought we were here to change the world.

  Emily Locke : Who told you that?

  Van Wayne : The company motto.

  Emily Locke : Oh, that. No, that came with the office. This used to be a diaper company.

• Ron : Okay, now, we all know that the number one cause of workplace accidents is Superman crashing through office windows mid-fight. That's a simple fact. But now... this glass is make of Kryptonite. So if he flies close to it, his powers will weaken, and he will softly bounce off.

  Emily Locke : Nice, and how does it work when the people inside need help from Superman?

  Ron : I had not taken that scenario into account.

  [drops Kryptonite glass] 

  Ron : It's also not very strong against normal things.

• Emily Locke : I know what you're thinking. Yet another superhero battle. Well, my name's Emily Locke and I grew up in what's known as a flyover state - superheroes never stopped there; they just flew over. I didn't have any powers so I did what everybody else in my town did - finish school and get a soul-crushing job. I felt unfulfilled. Until one day, my dad reminded me that you don't need superpowers to accomplish great things.

• Emily Locke : Look, Wayne Security has stopped innovating. Our follow-up to last year's Joke Venom Antidote is exactly the same thing in a slightly darker purple.

  Teddy : Mm, it's not slightly darker. Okay, one's amethyst and one's sangria. You don't get it. She doesn't get it. She's not getting it!

  Emily Locke : No, I get that they're different. I just don't think that anyone cares about the color.

  Ron : Ooh. Kitty's got claws!

• Emily Locke : I can't believe I'm actually working for Bruce Wayne.

  Jackie : Dot dot dot's cousin.
