Emergency Punch-Up (2017)

Jennie Pierson: Wendy

Quotes 

• Wendy : I'd pick Van because he's rich and people would probably look for him. Also, I can tell by his brittle nails that he has an iron deficiency, so by day 10 I'd be able to overpower him, and then I'd eat him piece by piece, while he was still alive, so that the meat doesn't spoil, and I could survive long enough to be rescued.

• [first lines] 

  Teddy : Oh, you're watching "The Making of a Supervillain"? I finished that last night.

  Ron : Well, do not tell me how it ends, but I think he's innocent.

  Teddy : Seriously? His name is Dr. Psycho.

  Ron : Yeah, but his original name was *Psychowitz*. They forced him to change it on Ellis Island.

  Wendy : The real villain is the criminal justice system.

  Ron : Go on, girl!

  Teddy : Idiots. He tied Wonder Woman to a rocket ship.

  Ron : Oh, the D.A. said he tied her to a rocket ship, but if that's the case, where's the rope, Teddy? Where's the rope?

• Van Wayne : I'm glad you're all excited about the corporate retreat. A special shoutout to the Legal Department who just settled the lawsuit from last year's retreat. I'm looking at you, Wendy - Ms. Blackout-and-Get-Naked.

  Wendy : That wasn't the order it happened in.

• [ominous alarm sounds] 

  Ron : Which alarm is that? Zombie virus?

  Jackie : Alien invasion? Giant spider robots from another dimension where the Nazis won?

  Teddy : No, that one goes "Ee-you-ee-you-ee-you".

  Emily Locke : [looking through the office's disaster manual]  No, it's a gas attack.

  Ron , Jackie , Teddy , Wendy : Ugh!

• Emily Locke : Okay, hold on, hold on, I can fix this. Now there's no reason we can't have fun and bond here. You know, I've got my karaoke machine and...

  Wendy , Teddy , Jackie , Ron : No!

  Emily Locke : So that's a maybe on the karaoke.

• Emily Locke : And to pass the time, I have a bunch of fun games. It'll be just like we're at the retreat.

  Emily Locke : Well, no.

  Ron : Parasailing?

  Emily Locke : No.

  Van Wayne : Wakeboarding?

  Emily Locke : No, and before anyone asks another one, we are trapped in the office the limitations of which you are very familiar.

  Teddy : Whitewater rafting?

  Emily Locke : Shut up, Teddy.

• [Emily has sniffed the truth gas, which will kill her in two hours unless they can coax her into the safe area] 

  Jackie : Emily is not coming in. Somebody's gonna have to go save her. Normally that would be Emily.

  Wendy : So are you going to do it?

  Jackie : I came up with the idea, so I've done my part.

• Jackie : Guys, Van/Gabe is right. I think we know the sacrifice we need to make to get Emily back in here.

  Wendy , Teddy , Van Wayne , Ron : Oh
