"But you've got a good point, given all the work they're putting into this. And also--we've got each other, and we can do things like this," she gestures around the room at the get together. "And if we get to know each other and build relationships and stuff, well. Teamwork makes the dream work?"

Yes. It's corny. She knows it, but she believes it, too. She's a glass half full kind of girl, for the most part.
