Yeah, it's expensive,
but it's sweet.

Yeah. Are you familiar
with, uh, Gibson humbucking
pickups at all or

No, I'm sorry.
I actually don't play.

It's for my dad
for his 50th birthday.
That's really sweet.

My sisters and I
are all chipping in, so

Your dad will love
these humbuckings.
I mean, they really kick ass.

I just have a quick question
So, uh, what kind of music
does your dad play?

Um,

I guess it's kind of
jazz-ish, maybe?

Oh. This is an excellent
jazz guitar.

Pat Metheny
plays one of these.
Probably the best one.

Yeah.
Is your dad into Metheny
at all?

Oh, I'm sorry.
I actually have no idea
who that is.

Pat Metheny is probably
the best fusion player
of our times.

He's like the Jake E. Lee
of fusion guitar players.

Yeah. Are you into fusion?
I don't really know
what that is either.

It's just I-I was asking
'cause I play fusion guitar.
Just curious.

Yeah, I play
I play fusion too, actually.

I teach kids. Really?

I work with
a lot of kids.

You should check
our band out. Oh, crap!

Okay. Sure. That's awesome.
So, what do you think?

Um, well, do you guys maybe
have it in other colors?

Color? You mean,
uh, finishes.
Meant finishes.

Yeah. Yeah. We have
We have a sunburst
that's beautiful.

I just stocked one of those
in the back. I'll go grab it.
No, I can pick it up.

You wanna see it? Thank you.

I'm gonna get the case. Okay. Thank you!

Cool. Yeah. I'm gonna get
I'm gonna grab the case. Awesome.

Hear me talkin' now
Friend

You should come by tonight.

It's half-price well drinks
while the game's goin'.

Well, you always give me
free drinks though.
I know. You should come by.

Yeah, might as well.
There's no action goin' on
at my house, that's for sure.

Why not?
Is your wife out of town?

No, I just haven't been laid
in about a month.

Hey! You get this job
through Job One?

Me too. Started right there
on the assembly line,
just like you.

Only I did better.
Forty crates a day.

That's right, vato.

I'm the best sorter
in here.

Yep. Probably gonna
make me floor manager
the end of this year.

That's why they
made me full time. You see that?

That new guy?
He's holdin' us up.

It's not my job to tell 'em
to hold the line either.

Hey. My band's
playing on Friday.
You should check us out.

It's pronounced God's Cock.

What kind of music
you listen to? Rock?

Norteño.
Yeah. Yeah,
you'll like this.

Ladies are free,
so bring some chicks, okay?

Typical, typical.

I'm just gonna sit here.

You're not gonna shut it off?
I'm not gonna hold the line.

If they're not gonna do their
jobs, I'm not gonna do mine.

Well, if I don't
get home before about 8:00,
she puts on the sweatpants,

and once the sweatpants are on,
I get nothing.

You know, it's over. Shit.

Damn it!

What are you doin'?

What are you doin'?
What is he doin'?

That's what I wanna know.

That is your job.
We can't do our job
if they don't do their job!

We're the only ones that
do our work around here!

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.
Whoa! Whoa! Whoa!

What is the problem?
Let's settle down, Mary!

Shh, shh, shh, shh!

Hector's new here, okay?

It's gonna
take him a couple of days,
so, you gotta be patient.

Step, this is something
you're gonna have to deal with
if you wanna be floor manager.

Exactly.
Great. Let's clean this up
and get back to rolling.

We cannot afford to fall
behind today. Let's go.
Back to your station.

See that?
We always get the blame.

Jesus, they're like
a bunch of damn children.
I feel like a babysitter.

Sorry I missed
the drama this morning.

I was showing
Boy Genius down there
how to back up a forklift.

Look at him.

That's his whole career,
you know? Driving
that damn forklift.

You'd think he'd
wanna learn how.

Well, he does have that band
that he's involved in as well.
Yeah, right. Band.

Bet you dollars to doughnuts
he sucks at that too.

Then you got
Dinkus down there.
Who? Mary?

No, no. The other one.
What's-her-face.

She asked me,
or rather, aksed me,
for more personal days.

Just like that.

I told her maybe if she
figures out how to fill out
her time sheets correctly,

I will give her
more personal days.

Don't worry.
She will never fill out
her time sheets correctly.

I better get outta here.

Gotta beat that
8:00 sweat pant
deadline thing.

Oh, shit!
Do not notice me.

Do not notice me.
Just go back inside.
Go back inside.

Goddamn it! Hey.

Hey, Joel.
Glad I caught ya.
How've you been?

I'm in such a hurry
right now, Nathan.
Yeah? You been busy?

Yes. Very, very, very busy.
And I'm so busy right now.

I gotta go make a phone call.
Gotta call the office before
they all leave for the day.

Yeah. Hey, listen.
Real quick, while I've
got you here.

What are you guys doing
November 17?

On the 17th? Um

Uh, on the 17th,
I think that we're out of town.

Oh, yeah?
Where you goin'?

Um-Wait a minute!
I meant the seventh.

You guys will definitely
be in town then, right?

Yep.
Great.

Leslie and I are going
to this dinner.

It's an annual thing.
We go every year
with the Rotary Club.

It's for charity.
It's just a whole
lot of fun.

And we would like to
invite you and Suzie to be
our guests at our table

Nathan, I just-I don't
think that that's somethin'
that we're gonna wanna do.

Really? Yeah.

Why not?
It's a lot of fun. I don't know.

Uh, Suzie doesn't like goin'
to those kinds of things.

Why not?

We wouldn't know anybody,
and she gets
really uncomfortable.

Oh, it's not like that!
Sure it is.

No, she won't feel uncomfortable.

It's not formal
or anything.

It's, um, just
a real loose bunch.

Um, you know, I
Tell you what.

Why don't we do this?

I'm gonna go ahead
and buy those tickets, since
they're gonna sell out fast.

You talk to Suzie,
see what she says.

Maybe I'll have Leslie
give her a call.

You know how it is
when the wives start talkin'.

I can almost hear it

We're gonna talk
'bout this later!
Gotta make the call!

Sorry, Joel.
I almost forgot.

The tickets
are $40 a plate.

Now, I know that's
a little bit steep,
but the food is fantastic.

So that's $80 total.
There's no tax
or anything.

Nathan, I really
gotta get inside
and make this phone call.

You and I are gonna talk about
this some other time, okay?
You go do that. Hey, Joel?

If you want us to look out after
the house while you're gone
or anything, we can do that.

I appreciate that.
Okay. Yep.

Hey, where you guys
goin' anyway?

We're goin' on vacation.

Gosh, I tell ya, Leslie and I
would love to go on a vacation
with you guys.

Oh.

I gotta go.

All right then.

I appreciate it, Nathan.
Thank you so much.
You do your thing.

Oh, Joel?
One more thing.

Hey, Joel?

Hon.
Hi.

Man, that Nathan
won't shut up.
Oh, I know.

What an asshole.
That wife of his
is even worse.

I mean, I wonder
how long he would talk
if you just let him go.

I'm actually afraid
to go into our own
front yard sometimes,

'cause I'm afraid
he's gonna be milling around.

Remember when
we had our condo?

We could just go straight
from the garage inside.
No one would bother us.

We could walk
to 7-Eleven.

Didn't have to
worry about plumbers
or pool cleaners.

Speaking of that,
we've gotta hire
a new pool cleaner.

He never checks
the chlorine levels

I'm sorry.
It's just this

this new synthetic vanilla
has a much higher triple point
than we thought,

which means that the new
cookies-and-cream extract
that we've been working on

could really work, and I just
I gotta get to this before
Webber Flavors beats us to it.

If something
like this caught on,
it could be big.

Could sell the company.

Um, do you remember
that logo

that you designed
for the original
cookies-and-cream extract?

I still have that framed
in my office.

You remember it?
Yeah.

And now I design coupons.

Do you wanna go
to the bedroom?

Oh.
Um, I'm a little tired.
Really?

Yeah. I don't know.
It's the middle
of the week.

It's not
the middle of the week.
It's Monday, baby.

It's Monday? Shit!
What happened?

Dancing with the Stars.

Oh? Is it on?

Oh.

I gotta get a house
that's got a bathroom

that doesn't share
a wall with the TV.

Why would you do that?

Because it is a little tough
to jerk it with the TV blaring
at you through the wall, Dean.

Well, why don't you use one
of the other two bathrooms?

It'd be too suspicious.
We don't use those bathrooms.

I'll put some insulation
in or something.
Insulation?

You do not need to put
fiberglass in your walls

because you have
so much masturbation shame.

You need to take
responsibility for yourself
and snap one off

wherever you want to
in your own home.

You own your house.

You own your own business.

I mean, you used to
be a bartender here.
Now look at what you have.

I know, but come on.
What-What really
do I have, okay?

It's a pain in the ass.
I work all the time.
What does it get me?

Nobody cares about extracts.
Certainly not my wife.

The stock guy with
the shitty band probably gets
laid more often than I do.

Yeah, and he probably lives
in a really crappy apartment.

I would very gladly move
into a crappy apartment

if the bathroom wasn't
right next to the TV.

It belonged to my father.
He passed away last month, and
we have all these stupid bills,

and it's just been really
hard for me, you know?

He was really into fusion.

You know, I'm not supposed
to say this, but, um,

given the circumstances, um,

you know, you could take this
down to the, uh, music store
and get a lot better deal.

No, that's okay. Really.
I just wanna get this over with.

I just want it gone. I understand.
I understand. Here.

I just-I want you
to have a little extra.

Here. Come on.
No. No, no, no.
I couldn't. No. No.

Take the money.
You've been through
enough already.

Come on.

Okay. Okay. Oh.

Oh, my gosh.
God bless you.
Thank you so much.

Thank you.

Hey.

Are we still lookin' into
replacing her with a robot?

Yeah, sure, but we
might not have to.

You're not gonna believe this.
Remember that guy, Michael J.
Natherton, from General Mills?

Called a while back,
talkin' like he might
wanna buy us out?

Yeah. I thought you said
that he wasn't serious.
He was just kickin' the tires.

Yeah, well, he's serious now.
He just made us an offer.

A real offer. Are you kidding me?

Must be part of some
bigger strategic move

because this is over
market value, I think.

Wow.

I might be able to finally
unload all this stuff
and retire, huh?

I mean, there's a lot of
details to work out, but, yeah,
this-this could be great.

He says he'll
call back next week.
What should I tell him?

You tell him, Hell, yes.

Adios, Dinkus.

You see that?
I already warned him.

This is the last time.
I'm just gonna sit here.

Oh, no. What now?

Oh!

Oh!

Mm-hmm.

I knew it.

That's what happens when
you don't pay attention.

Mm-hmm.
Mm-hmm.

Yeah. All right.
Just call me if you
hear anything else.

He definitely lost one of them,
and they think that they can
reattach the other one,

but they're not sure. Wow.

That's hard core. I have no idea
how this happened.

We've got such
a good safety record,

and we comply with
all the safety codes.

I think it was just
some kind of a freak accident,
you know?

Well, you probably have
insurance for that, right?
Yeah. Of course.

He's probably gonna
get a huge settlement.
Yeah, I would think so.

I mean, it's your balls.

It kinda makes you
think, doesn't it,
how fragile we all are?

Especially our balls.
They're just hangin' there.

Little sack.

Any minute could just
be cut off forever.

What'd life be like walkin'
around without testicles?
Can you imagine that shit?

Yeah, actually, I rarely use
my balls anymore at all.

What about the other night?
I thought you were gonna rub one
out to Dancing with the Stars.

I mean that, uh, you know,
Suzie and I have sex maybe
once every three months.

You know,
sexual frustration
is really hard,

but I may have
a solution.

What?

You need to take some Xanax.

Xanax.
Isn't that for anxiety?

It's good for all
psychological problems
in the DSM-IV.

Xanax basically just
makes you feel good.

That's why it works
for everything.

I take it for
the common head cold.

I think it would work great
for sexual frustration.

Want me to get you some?
No, I don't.

You know what else
is good?
Hmm?

Codeine cough syrup.

For what?
It's just good.

What listing?

Um, Don Wilkinson,
or Step Wilkinson?

One moment.
Uh, can I have
the address, please?

I'm sorry.
I'm not showing
anything for either.

There's a D. Wilkinson,
but it's unlisted.

Okay. Thank you.

So, uh, the guys at
General Mills got wind of this
whole testicular incident,

and, uh,
they're worried.

If Step decides to sue us
beyond the insurance settlement,

that could be
a serious liability.

How is Step doin' anyway?
Better.

I guess he might be
goin' home today.
Oh, good.

Anyway, I guess we
don't have to worry about it.
He says he's not gonna sue us.

He says
he wouldn't want somethin' for
nothin', what's right is right.

He's bein' pretty mellow
about this.

Yeah.

I think when you
lose your balls,
it kinda mellows you out.

Oh, by the way,
guess who asked
for a raise today.

Who?
Dinkus.
Can you believe that?

Brian, you know, you call
everyone here Dinkus.

I don't know who
you're talkin' about.
You know, forklift Dinkus?

Oh. Thought you
call him Boy Genius.

Oh, right. Yeah.
Well, Boy Genius
asked for a raise.

I said, Are you kidding me?
You almost got somebody
killed last week.

And then he tried to blame it
on Dinkus over there.

You know,
you really oughta learn
the employees' names.

I was thinkin' about that,
but then I figured,

hey, if this deal
goes through next week,
I won't have to.

It's not like I'm gonna be
inviting Dinkus and Boy Genius
over for dinner.

Down the hall on the right.
Oh, Joel. Let me introduce you
to the new temps here.

One of 'em
wanted to meet you.

Uh, Joel,
this is Cindy.

Hi.
Hi.

And, uh, Dinku

I'm sorry.
I forgot your name.
Victor.

Victor! Right.
Hi. Joel.

Welcome.

Okay.
Mm-hmm.

Hey. Hi.

Look, I'm so sorry,

but are you really the owner
of this entire place?

Yeah.

I mean, like,
you-you started it
and everything?

Yeah.
Yeah, pretty much.

Oh, my God. How?

Just, uh, by-You really
wanna hear this? A lot of people
think it's boring.

No, no.
I really-I do.
I wanna know.

I mean, did you, like,
invent extract or something?

Uh

Kind of.
Really?

Well, my mother used to
My mother used to make these,
uh, root beer cookies,

and I always noticed that
the cookie dough tasted better
than the cookies themselves,

and I thought,
Why is that?

It turns out that
a lot of the flavor
in the root beer extract

evaporates when you cook it,

and, so, when I was
in graduate school,
in chemistry,

I figured out a way to use
this synthetic derivative
of the wintergreen component,

and it just-it doesn't
evaporate as easily,

and
from that, you know.

Wow.

I mean, you figured
all of that out.

Like with your brain!

Yeah.
Oh, you must be
really rich.

I've got a 7 Series BMW
and some pretty nice clothes.

Wow, you know
so many people.

I-It's not
Oh, my God. You are
really popular.

Oh.

What? It's just really cute how
your sixes look like eights.

Or is it more like
your eights look like sixes?
Which one is it?

Hey, dude. You wanna hit
some golf balls, man?
Hey, Dean. Cindy here.

Oh, damn!

Goodness. Hi. Dean.

Entrepreneur,
spiritualist, healer.
Okay.

Nice to meet you.
Nice to meet you.
Thank you, Mr. Reynolds.

Welcome aboard.
Thank you.
Thank you.

We're gonna
play some golf.
Welcome aboard.

But maybe we could all
just hang out?
Dean.

Dude! She work here?
Yeah, she's a temp.

She's a tramp?
Temp!

Please don't stare at her.
Get away from the window.

I like it, Joel.
I like your style.

Well, I didn't hire her.
She came over through Job One.

They just sent her over
like everyone else.
Job One, huh?

I gotta give
those guys a call, man.

I have never seen a woman
anywhere near that hot
workin' here.

Makes sense, though, huh?
I mean, hot girls need jobs
too, right?

Do they really?

I mean, most of your temps
look like winos, man,
and they're guys.

You wanna hear
something weird too?
Yeah.

Um, I think that she
was flirting with me.

Really?

Could be wrong.
No, I'm sure, man.

Dude, you could probably
have any girl out there
that's walkin' around.

Anyone you see right now
with the hairnet on, man,
you could probably nail.

I don't know about that.
I'm telling you, man.

You're the king
of this whole domain.
This is your place.

You're the ruler here.
You're the king of the
the, um, uh

What is this shit you're
making out here?

It's extract, and it's
spray-dried flavoring,
and we're thinking about

You are the extract king,
man, and these females
out here sense that,

and you can have them
if you want that, you know?

I personally wouldn't
because they're not
sexually attractive to me,

but, you know,
that girl right there

Good for you, Joel.

Somebody stole
my purse! It's gone! Brian! What the shit?

My purse is stolen!
It's gone! He did it!

He stole my purse!
You! You stole my purse!
He did it! He did it!

He stole my purse!
I told you about him!
Hey, wait! Calm down!

Calm down one minute.
Hector. ¿Un momento? I'm not gonna calm down!

I'm gonna call the cops!
Will you please time out?
I speak the language, okay?

Hector. Uh, Hector, u-uh

Tu sabe donde está su
uh-you know, purse-o?

Purse! That's right!
You stole my purse!
No. No, no, no.

Wait a minute!
Wait a minute. Okay.
He stole my purse, Joel.

Give me a break, please?
How do you know it's stolen?

I know it's stolen,
because it's gone, that's how!
What does it look like?

It's a white
leather multicolored
patchwork purse

with a turquoise lining
and cute little teddy bear
in a tutu!

You didn't have to love me
like you did

But you did, but you did

And I thank you

You didn't have to love me
like you did

But you did, but you did

And I thank you

But if you took your love
to someone else

I wouldn't know what it meant
to be loved to death

You made me feel
like I've never felt

Kisses so good
I had to holler for help

You didn't have to hold me
but you did

But you did, but you did

And I thank you

You can go ahead of me
if that's all you got.

Really?
Yeah, sure.

Are you sure?

That's really,
really sweet of you.
Thank you.

I can't believe I'm buying
Reynold's Extract.

I mean,
I work at the factory,
you know?

Really? Mm-hmm.

I work there too.
Are you serious?

Yeah, I sure do.
Well, I used to, but, yeah.

Well, I just started
working there.

Yeah, I'm, uh,
the fastest sorter there.

Really?
Oh, yeah.
Forty crates a day.

They were gonna make me
floor manager.

Well, I'm Cindy.

We don't do it anymore,
you know?

We just
I don't know what to do.

We're turnin' into one of
those brother-sister couples.

Well, you do
kind of look alike.

No, we don't.
Okay.

And to make things worse, Dean,
I-I cannot get that Cindy girl
out of my mind.

Mmm.
I mean, how often am I gonna
meet a girl that pretty

and that into
food flavoring?

It's just
You know she practically
asked me out?

She gave me her phone number
and everything.

Asked me if I was goin' to
that party where Rory's band is
playing. Can you believe that?

Really? Yeah.

What are you gonna do?
What do you mean?
I'm gonna do nothing.

I can't cheat on Suzie.
I just gotta power through it
until I'm too old to get it up.

Then I'll be all right. What if Suzie cheated on you?

Right. Come on.

Listen, man.
I like Suzie.

You know what I'm sayin'?
I ain't got nothin' against her.

But what if she's feelin'
the same way you were, right?

What if she cheated on you?
Would that bother you?

Uh, I
I don't-No, I guess.

No, I guess it wouldn't
at this point.

I guess that's
a little weird, isn't it?

Yeah, a bit, but, you know,
do you think she would do it?

What? Cheat on me? No. Sure?

Well, I don't know actually.
Hang on. She might.

Suzie might.
She could be tempted,
I suppose.

If some really studly guy
hit on her.

So you're saying

that she would cheat on you
if she were placed
in temptation's way,

and yet you're
in temptation's way, and
you're not cheating on her?

That's right.
Okay, bro.

Here's what you need to do.
I don't want drugs, Dean.

There are ways

ancient ways
from Aztec times

of getting your wife
to cheat on you,

if that is what you need.

Let's hear it.

You hire a gigolo

to have an affair
with your wife.

What?

I'm serious, bro.
I know a guy.

You know a gigolo?
Yes, I do.

How do you know a gigolo?
This guy Brad.

Brad the gigolo? Who-Yes. Who comes
in here all the time.

He's friends of Cliff.
You hire Brad.

He has an affair
with Suzie.

All right. Yeah.
Don't you have another customer
to help or something?

Dude, you just told me that
you wouldn't mind if she fooled
around with somebody else.

If she fools around
with somebody else,

you have no guilty feelings
about hooking up with Cindy.

All your problems
are solved.

Stroke of genius idea
on my part.

Jesus Christ.
Maybe I will try
some of your Xanax.

Come on.
Seriously.

I think what I'm gonna do
is I'm gonna sit Suzie down
and talk to her about it.

Bing!
No. That was a joke.

Not a joke.
Joking.

Serious.

This gonna shut you up?

Tell me what this stuff
does again?

Yeah, I just believe
what's right is right.

That's right, Step.

And what's right is for you
to send a message

so that a horrible accident
like this never happens
to anybody ever again.

That's why I got
a lawyer for you.

You wanna know who?
Hmm?
Who?

The guy on all
the bus-stop benches.

Joe Adler?
You got me Joe Adler?
Mm-hmm.

Yeah.
You're so good
to me, Cindy.

Mmm. Okay. Oh, my gosh.
Step, I'm sorry.

You're
You're getting me aroused,
and I'm getting you aroused,

and your doctor said that
you should not get aroused
till after the trial.

Step, I'm so sorry.

I'm sorry.
I think we should go.

I'm sorry.

Man. Look at all
them mallards.

I knew I should've
brought the Mossberg.

Shit.

Do you remember what color
that pill was I gave you?

What?
Damn it.

I don't think
it was Xanax.

Could have been Ritalin
or Special K.

I don't care. What?

Well, Special K
is a horse tranquilizer.

It sometimes has weird effects
on humans. Hey, it's nothin'
to worry about.

Probably just
shouldn't drink anymore.

Remember the thing
you were talkin' about?

About the gigolo? Yeah?

You don't think that
that is wrong?

You don't think that
that is morally wrong?

What could be morally
wrong about that?
Yeah, I don't know.

Look, man.

If she doesn't
wanna do anything,
she doesn't have to.

Okay? But if she does,
then she's the one who's sinned,

and you're the one who can go
out there and drop the Joel pole
in whoever the hell you want to.

And that's what's
morally appropriate.

I cannot-I can't see
anything morally wrong
with it either,

and-and he's a friend
of yours, right?

What was his name?
Brad. You want me
to get on the phone?

No, no. Just hang on.
It's very weird to even
talk about this, Dean.

Dude, all you gotta do

is tell her he's comin'
to be the new pool guy
or whatever

and see what happens, seriously.

If she doesn't
go for it, terrific.

Now you just feel better
for not foolin' around
in the first place.

I think you're right.
And we do need
a new pool cleaner.

That's a sign, bro.

Yeah, I just
I don't know.
It's so nuts.

You gotta listen
to the universe.

Why don't you have
another drink, man?

You know what?
Why don't I go call Brad, see
what he has to say about this?

What the hell.

It seems pretty
pretty clear, right?

I mean,
it's $200, right?

Yeah. 200.

Well, yeah.
I mean, you know, I'm
I'm gettin' my 10%.

Wh-Come on, Dean.
What are you? You're a pimp now?

I don't think they call it
a pimp when it's with
a male prostitute, Joel.

All right. They have another name
for it.

It's not a john,
but it's somethin' like that.
They call it somethin' else.

I'm the one who hooked
this whole thing up.
I get it.

You have nothin' to worry about.
It all comes out of his money.
All right!

Fine.
So, it's $200.

Yep. 220.
Yeah-Dean!

What?
Uh, I have a question.

Yep.

So, are you, like,
gonna watch or somethin'?

No, no. No, no.
No, I'm-I'm not even
gonna be there.

I'm gonna be at work.
You remember? We covered this.

Didn't we cover this? Look, dude,
here's the story.

What you-What you're
gonna do is,

you're just gonna go
to Joel's house, okay,

pretending to be
the new pool cleaner.

When you get there,
you will simply attempt
to seduce Joel's wife.

If she does not respond,
you will simply clean the pool
and leave.

That's it.
It's just that simple.

So, you're not gonna, like,

try to touch my ass
or anything?

Listen. He-He-He
He will be at work.

Oh.

You will go by
when he is not there.

And you will pose
as the pool cleaner

trying to seduce
the wife.

Oh! I see. Yeah.
I get it now.

Yeah. I'm sorry. Cool. It's so simple.

Yeah. You're not
even gonna be there.
No, he will not be there.

He will not be at the house.
You will be at the house.

The wife will be
at the house. He will-Not be, no.

Not be at the house.
Oh, cool. No problem.

This is gonna be great.
Now, I want you to remember
that she might not go for it.

This is gonna be so awesome.
No, I can hardly wait.

She might not go for it.
This is gonna be awesome. Awesome.

Hey, man, if you know
of anybody else

who might need, you know,
what I do-you know, like,
lonely housewives and shit

you think you could
tell 'em about me?

'Cause I figure,
if I can get enough of 'em,

then maybe I could quit
my landscaping job.

Aw! That would be awesome,
'cause I-I hate
landscaping, dude,

and I like getting laid
a lot better.

And I'm always seein' all
kinds of horny housewives
out at the clubs,

so, like I say,
if your wife
is a housewife

Brad, you're killin' me,
man. All right?
Good talkin' to you.

All right.
Good talkin'.
All right, bro? Later.

Do you know what else
I was thinking, man?

Later on, Brad.
Good night, man. All right. Cool.

Hey, let me give you
a ride home. You're not
in any condition to drive.

All right.
I know.

This-You sure
about this guy?
This, um

Oh, yeah, man.
He's real cool.

He just gets a little
fired up before each job.

It's just he doesn't
seem that bright.

Oh. I mean,
what do you expect?

He's a whore.

Hey. Wow!

Looks like you had one
of those nights, huh?

So, where was I?

Oh, shit.

Hello.

Hey. Dean.
Joel.

Thank God you're awake.
Uh, did-did-did that, uh,
really happen last night?

We go through with that?
That, uh, gigolo stuff?

Uh, as far as I know.
Goddamn it!

What?
What was I thinking?

We gotta
call that off right now.
Can you call that guy?

The-What's-his-name?
Uh, Brad. Okay.

Yeah, man.
I can call him.

Yeah, tell him
I'll pay him anyway.
Not to worry about it.

Just tell him not
to go over there.
What-What was I thinking?

All right. Chill, chill.
I'll call him.

Thanks for the drugs,
Dean!

Uh-Uh, actually,

I don't have
his digits.

What are you talkin' about?
I thought you called him
last night.

Yeah, but I got his number
from Cliff.
You get it from Cliff again.

Cliff doesn't have
a phone right now.

I got it from him
at the bar.
Motherfucker!

Um, uh, what's
the boy's last name?

I'll call Information.
Um

I don't remember.
It's a Mexican name.

Mexican? For Christ's sake!
Dean, the guy's got blond hair
and blue eyes. Come on!

I thought it was strange too
a guy who looks like that
had a Mexican last name.

But I don't judge people,
you know.

I mean, might not have
been Mexican. Could have
been a Filipino name.

I think it's Lopez.

Uh, or Sanchez.

Uh, or Gutierrez.

Shit! I-I gotta get home
and head him off.

Joel, we gotta talk.

Not now, Brian.
It's kinda important.

Not now, pal.
It's kind of
really important.

It's about Step.
There's a Brad Chavez
on line one for you.

Who? Brad Chavez.

Brad Chavez.

You want me to take a message?
No. That's the pool cleaner.

I better take that.

Hello.

Hey, is this Joel?
Yes, it is.

Hey, man. It's Brad.
Hey. Thank God.

Mission accomplished, dude.
It worked.
She totally went for it.

Wha

You were not even
supposed to be there
for another 45 minutes.

Oh. Really? Yeah.

I totally forgot what time
you guys told me,

and I was
so excited about it,
I just went over there.

Um

S-So then you
She actually, um

You guys
Yep. It was easy.

Easy? What does
that mean, easy?

Oh, no. I don't
I don't mean easy like
like she was easy,

or anything like,
Your wife's a slut
or anything.

Um, I just meant
it wasn't hard
to get her to

Never mind.
Tell me what happened.
I want to hear it all.

You sure?
Yeah. I'm sure.

Okay.

Well, uh,
she let me in, uh,

so I just went back
like I was cleaning the pool,

and I don't know anything
about pool cleaning, right?

So, I was totally
just fakin' it.

Um, and she was
in her bathing suit,

so I struck up
a conversation.

This is
a really nice house. Thank you.

Is it your dad's house?

No, it's-it's ours.

Oh. Wow.

You look so young

to be living
in a house this nice.

What?

Do you have any sunscreen?

I, uh, forgot mine.

Sure.

And, see, I thought that
was pretty smart of me, right,
to ask to borrow the sunscreen.

'Cause that way I could ask
if she wanted some

and I could rub some
on her back, right?

Instead of me just
coming out and askin'
to rub some on her back.

It was pretty smooth, huh?

Anyway,

once I started rubbin'
lotion all over her body,
the rest was pretty easy.

All right! That's it!
She likes some

Stop it! I don't need
to hear any more.
Okay. Okay, dude.

Well, hey, listen, um, if
if you have anyone else

that you-you want to
referral me to,

or, um, like,
if you want me to do
your wife again, I can

No! I've got to go.
Good-bye.

Oh, damn it!

Yoo-hoo! Hey!

How's it goin'?
I'm real busy actually.

Well, I'm not gonna
keep you long.

I, uh, went ahead
and got those tickets
for that dinner

we talked about
going to together
on the seventh.

I think I mentioned
that they were 40 apiece.

Well, as it turns out,
they're a tad more
this year-55.

I told you that we really
didn't wanna go to that thing.
Don't you remember that?

I know you said something
about Suzie feeling uncomfortable,

but like I say, she won't
feel uncomfortable at all.

She could wear a pantsuit
if that's the issue.

It's not formal
or anything.

No. That's not
the problem, Nathan.

What, uh-Does she not like
to wear a dress ever?

I gotta go.
Oh, one more thing!

I'm-I'm busy too.

Joel, I was thinking,
maybe we could go on vacation.

Just the two of us.

We haven't done something
like that in a long time,

and I know they have
really great deals right now
in the Caribbean.

I hate the Caribbean.

Really? Why?

'Cause it sucks.

But I thought you liked
going to hot places, you know,

so you can wear
your shorts.

I don't feel so good.
I'm gonna go up to bed.

Is it the food?

Well, actually, I'm in,
like, five bands right now,

but God's Cock is basically
the same four guys
as Fight Head.

But Fight Head's more of,
like, a thrash/skate-punk
type thing,

whereas God's Cock is more
like melodic grindcore.

So, it's five bands,
but it's four groups of guys.

She is so nice.

I wish they'd hire
more people like her.
Mm-hmm.

Can't believe he's
still working here.

Did you know that
Sylvia's wallet is missing?
She thinks it was stolen.

And guess who was
in the locker room last
Hector.

Hey. Did you guys
hear the rumor?

Jim said Joel and Brian
are gonna sell the company.
Rich said the same thing too.

He said they'll probably
make millions and billions
of dollars too.

Shut the fuck up. I'm workin'
my ass off, and those guys are
gonna make all that money?

I work harder than anybody.
If you add it all up, I lift
over 200,000 pounds a week.

We should do something.
Mm-hmm.

Mm-hmm.
Here.

Ladies are free,
so bring some chicks.
Mm-hmm.

You got a sec?

Yeah. I think we might have
a really big problem here.

I don't know what happened,
but all of a sudden Step says
he doesn't wanna settle anymore.

I think he might have
talked to a lawyer.

General Mills guys don't wanna
make the offer official until
this whole thing is settled.

All right.
Well, don't worry about it.

Step's probably just
chest beating, you know?
He does this all the time.

He gets all wound up, talks big,
and then he usually backs down.
That was with his balls, so

I'll talk to him. Okay. All right.
Sooner, the better.

Oh! Ah.
There he is. Hey.

I can't talk today.

Almost missed ya.
I can't talk
right now, Nathan.

Hey, I noticed you got
a new pool cleaner today.
How is he?

We're thinking about
changing services.

I gotta get ins-Hang on.
You mean yesterday, right?

Huh?
The pool cleaner
that you saw.

You saw him yesterday,
not today, right?
No, today. The new guy.

What did he look like?
Well, you know, blond-haired
kid about yea high.

Good-lookin' kid.

Real good-looking. In fact,
Leslie even commented about it

You're absolutely sure that you
saw him today and not yesterday? Yeah.

No doubt?
No. No doubt about it.

It was today.
I came home for lunch.

Yesterday I had this bear
of a sales conference.

This guy just went on.

Hey, do you think I
could go ahead and get
that check from ya?

It's 110
Hey-All right.
I'll call ya!

Yeah.

Hello?

Yeah, is this Brad.
Yeah.

What were you doing
at my house today?

Oh. Uh

Nothing.
Bullshit!

Look. Don't worry
about it, dude.

Uh, I won't charge you
for this one.

You had sex
with my wife again?

Well, I figured
we already did it once, so,
what's the big deal, right?

Besides, I'm not
gonna charge you.

You're not gonna
You are gonna charge me,
and I am gonna pay you

because you are not gonna
have sex with my wife for free.

Now, listen,
if I ever catch you anywhere
near my house ever again,

it's not gonna be
great, all right?

Okay. Listen, if you know
of anyone else who nee

Hey, do you wanna, um

I don't know
go out or something?

We can go to 7-Eleven
and get pizza sticks.

I, uh, have this
work thing I gotta go to.

Rory's band's playin'.
Everyone's gotta go.

Oh.

Whoa! Yeah!

Are you getting
what you deserve?

Call me, Joe Adler,
the Big Gun.

Hey, Cliff.
Hey.

I cannot believe that my wife
slept with that guy.

I thought you said
it wouldn't bother you.

Well, I guess I didn't
think about it long enough.

It was so easy for him too.
I can't stand that. Maybe I'm
just lousy in the sack.

Man, it's not
your fault.

I told you, my man Brad
just crushes ass, dude.

I'm sorry if, you know
I'm sorry.

That's all right.
That's all right.
Apparently you're right.

What is it with women?
They say they don't care
about looks.

They just want a guy
who's smart and funny.

But they end up laughing
at whatever the good-looking,
stupid guy says.

I know.

Oh, guess what else.
Little prick was
at my house again today.

For real? Why?
Why do you think?

Unreal. You hire a guy
to do a job on one day,

and he comes back
the next day,

drops it in your wife
again for free.

I'm not letting him
do it for free.
I am paying him.

You are? How much?
The same, I guess. Why?

Well, I mean, should I

contact Brad for my 20 bills
and invoice him,

or should I go to you, or

Don't even worry
about that right now.

I can deal with
the economics of it later.

You can just table that.
That's not what's important.

What's important is that you
should be going out right now
and calling Cindy

guilt-free,
conscience clear.

I don't know about that.
Besides, she's at that party.

You know what you need to do?
I don't need any more drugs.

Dude. I know I kid around a lot,
and I'm a bit of a character,

but I'm serious right now.

This is real advice. Okay?
So I want you to listen to me.

You should try
smoking a little pot.

That's a drug.
It's not a drug.
It's a flower.

It has healing properties.
Stress is a killer.

Okay, I get paranoid
when I smoke pot.

Not if you smoke
a little, bro.

You know what you need to do?
You need to hang out
with my boy Willie.

He's a great guy.
He's the one who gave me
that horse tranquilizer.

Dude, the Atlanteans
gave mankind

the secret
10,000 years ago

to drugs that
don't give you
a hangover, man.

You know what I mean?
People are just now starting
to use that shit. Embrace it.

That's how we're going to
solve modern problems, man.

Wisdom of the ancients.

Ask Willie, bro.
He's a shaman.

Right on.

All right, man.
Oh, no. I'm really
kind of a lightweight.

If you've got a beer
or even some wine

It's not really
my thing.
Bullshit.

Come on, Joel, man.
He thinks he gets paranoid.

I do get paranoid.
Okay. You familiar
with the Graffix bong?

You ever use
one before?
No.

Okay. Put your thumb
right there.
Ah

Hey! You put your
right thumb here
on the carburetor.

Now, when I tell you
to let go,

I want you to let go
and inhale hard.

Okay. Exhale!

I'm gonna let
you guys do this.
Bullshit!

This doesn't work for me.
Just give mine to Dean.
Exhale hard!

I get paranoid,
so I don'tExhale!

Put your lips on it. Yeah.

Go! Inhale! Go! Go!

Harder! Let go!

Inhale!

Yeah.

Oh, yeah!

Yeah. It's Jesus.
You see him?

Oh, fuck.

Huh?
Huh?

I thought I heard
somebody say something.

Jesus Christ.

You see the look on his face?
Man, you do get paranoid
when you get stoned.

You do, dude.
You did get paranoid
when he jumped at you.

I told you guys.

Hey, dude, man.
You should call that girl now.
Wait. What time is it?

Time for you to call her
and finally get laid, man.
Come on!

All right. It's 12:30, man.
She's probably at home now.

What does she look like?
Uh, she's, uh

She has dark hair.

She's kind of pretty.
And, uh, well, you know,
working-class looking.

Um

What do you mean by that?

She's kind of

slutty looking?

Kinda. Yeah.

That's how I like 'em. Mm-hmm.
Kind of nasty.

Yeah.
You guys have
the same tastes, man.

Yeah. Hope I don't
wake her up.

Busy.

At least you know
she's home, man.

I don't know what kind of person
doesn't have call-waiting.

I don't have call-waiting.

I hate call-waiting.

Every time I hear
that clicking

I want to put my fist
right through someone's skull!

Joel, he's playing with you!

You do get paranoid
when you are stoned, huh?

Seriously, though,
I hate call-waiting.

Okay, man.

You're too stoned.
I'm gonna dial
the number for you.

I'll tell you why you're
gettin' a busy signal.

This is my number.

Enough.

I don't get why you're
trying to get me so paranoid.
Gonna make me cry.

Hey. Joel!

Hey.
What are you doing here?

Ooh. Joel, man,
I'm not proud of you today.

Seems like you guys
will have a lot to work out.
Hey, man

I don't want to be
a fourth wheel.

Thanks for having me.
It's been cool.

See you guys later.

Kind of nasty?

Shit.

Oh, my God.
Joel, are you all right?
What happened?

I'm fine. I'm fine.
Just got my ass kicked.

Just back to sleep.
But

Honey, justBy who? What happened?

Some guy at, uh, Sidelines.
Just-Night-night.

I think you should
go to the hospital
so you can get checked out.

No, I just want to go
to sleep right now. Shh.

Are you sure you're okay?
Honey, just don't
worry about it. Okay?

People get their asses kicked
every day. Not a big deal.
Back to bed.

Can I get you some ice? I'm set!

Hi, Joel.
Brian wants to see you.
Oh, my God.

What happened to your face?
Car door. Slammed it.

Hey, did you talk to Step yet?
He's not returning my calls.

Oh, shit. We got trouble.
He did talk to a lawyer.

Joe Adler. He's that
personal-injury lawyer you see
on all the bus-stop bench ads.

He's got that
freak-show hairdo.
You gotta see this guy.

He is a human turd.

Shit. What happened to you?

I fell down some stairs.
Joe Adler?

Yeah. I mean, this could be
a real problem. We could be
really screwed here.

Oh, and we gotta hire
a couple of new people,

'cause Cindy's quitting,
and, uh

Did you know she's been
going out with Step?

What?
Can you believe that?

Step? Yeah.

Our Step?
I know. Weird.

And they didn't even meet here.
They met at some grocery store
or something totally random.

How a jimmy-john little
dingle berry like him

ends up with a girl
like Cindy is beyond me.

Oh, and, uh,
if it's okay with you,

I'd like to go ahead
and fire, uh, Hector.

Fire Hector? Why?

Well, you know.
What's-her-face's purse
and Dinkus's wallet.

It's gotta be him.
Who else could it be?

Uh, no.
Do not fire Hector.

Why not?
Just-Just trust me on this.

Okay. If you say so.

Jenny,
I don't feel very well.

I'm gonna go home early.

Shit.

What the

What the hell are you doing
on my street again?

Dude, you weren't
supposed to be here
for another four hours.

What do y
What happened to your face?

Same thing that's
Your face is going to look
like my face if I ev

Actually, your face is going
to look worse than mine if

Listen.

If I ever catch you
anywhere near my house
or my wife again,

at the very least
you will be arrested.

For what?
Suzie let me in.

Listen.
Man, I know she's your wife
and shit and whatever.

You might as well know,
I think we're in love.

Oh! In love?

Oh, are you stupid.

Oh, stupid Brad.
Stupid, dum-dum Brad.

You think that she
is in love with you?
You don't even know her. Okay?

You're nothing
but a little piece of ass.
That's it.

I don't think so, dude.
You don't think so, dude?

Did you ever think
she doesn't know I paid you
to have sex with her?

That ever skitter across
your little, tiny brain?

How 'bout I tell her right now
you did it all for money?

What about that, ding-ding?
Shut up. You wouldn't do that.

Really? Watch this, slut.
No!

Here I go.
No, wait! Please!

Don't! Man!

Listen, man.

Me and your wife got something
really special goin' on.

Please don't
mess it up for me.
Don't mess it up?

You're talking
about my wife!

My house! My pool!
Stupid ass!

W-Wait! Come on!
You can't do this to me!

Oh, yes, I can!

Hi. You're home early.

So how was that
new pool cleaner?
W-What do you mean?

What do you think I mean?

Did he do a good job
cleaning the pool?

Um, well, I-Did he get
all the leaves?

It doesn't look really clean.
I'm looking right at it, and
it looks pretty goddamn filthy.

Yeah. Oh, yeah.
It doesn't look like
he did a good job.

I think he did a horrible job,
and I don't think we're gonna
be using him anymore.

Okay.
Okay?

Are you sure
you're feeling okay?
Can I take you to the doctor?

Nope!

Do you want some aspirin? No, thank you!

How about some raisins?

Hey, Step.

Joel! Come on in.
Great.

This is
my half-brother Phil.

Let's go out back.
All right.

Hey, hey.
Close the door.

Sorry.

I'm also looking
for deer trails as I go.

So you're
datin' Cindy, huh?

Yes, sir.
She's my girlfriend.

Might even get married after
all this lawsuit-settlement
stuff gets settled.

Huh.

Step, you might want
to be careful with her.

What do you mean?
She got an S.T.D.?

I just
Step, I'm not sure
how to put this,

but, you know, you have got
a lot of money coming your way
from the settlement.

You might want to
be careful with her.

Joel, I know Cindy, uh,
has got her problems,

but, uh, she means well.

She's the best thing
that's ever happened to me.

Step, I don't want
to tell you what to do, but I
want you to think about this.

You know, if you go
beyond the settlement

and you continue with
the lawsuit, you could
bankrupt that company,

and people are gonna
lose their jobs.

A lot of people are gonna
be pissed off at you.
I ain't worried about that.

I can kick anybody's ass
at that whole company.

Yeah.

Well, I'm gonna
kick somebody's ass if you
don't close that screen door!

Brad, we can't. I'm sorry.
We have to stop doing this.

Why?
Because it's not right,
and I feel horrible.

And you-you have to start
cleaning the pool.

But

I've never felt this way
about anyone before,

and I've been
with a lot of chicks.

Okay. Um

Look, Brad,
I love my husband.
I really do.

And this was a mistake.

I'm sorry.
I don't know
what got into me.

I was bored
and frustrated,

and I was not feeling
particularly pretty.

But we just
We have to stop this.

This has made me realize
I really want to make
my marriage work.

I'm sorry.

This doesn't mean
that we can't still see
each other, though, right?

Yes, that's-that's exactly
what it means.

Why?

Um, because of everything
that I just said.

Do you need me
to say it again?

Can I see you tomorrow?
No.

Can I see you Thursday?
No.

Can I see you Friday?'Kay, you know what?
You have to go.

Come on.

I'll call you tomorrow.
Oh, okay. Okay.

Just-Okay.
We'll talk about it later.

Oh, my God. What a moron.

Hey, you ready?
Huh?

The meeting with Step's
lawyer, or lawyers.

It's today, remember? Now.
Shit.

I should fire
all three of you

because you laughed
at me when I bought
those bus-bench ads.

But this Step guy?
He's the Holy Grail.

You see, if both his balls
had been knocked clean off,

he'd be a good case,
but not a great case.

A man with no balls
is no man at all,

and a jury will never feel
they can walk in the shoes

of a ball-less,
neutered, he-she freak.

But Step?
He's got one ball-barely.

To a jury he's still a man,

and that manhood
is hanging on by a thread.

I'm telling you, this guy
is a Powerball jackpot!

The fuckin'

Hello. I'm Joe Adler.

Hi, Joe. Brian.
Nice to see you.

This is Joel.
How are you?

You see those guys up there?
I heard those are the guys
from General Mills.

Mm-hmm.
If they're gonna sell this place and cash out

and leave me with no job,
I should get some of that cash.

I mean, it's only fair.
I've been working here
for, like, two years.

It's bullshit, man.
I work my ass off.

Remember, Hector,
I was telling you how hard
I work my ass off?

I've been working here 14 years.
We could get jobs
at GemCo like that.

And at GemCo,
all the employees are owners.
Even says so on the name tags.

The thing is, I don't want to
work at GemCo. GemCo sucks, man.
They make you do calisthenics.

Yeah.
That's right. We could work
at Southwest Airlines.

I don't want to work
at Southwest either.
They make you do the limbo.

That is messed up.

Yeah.
I'd be the laughingstock
of the grindcore community.

If we quit, this place couldn't
run. They wouldn't be able to
sell this place for anything.

Well, that's why what
we should do is, is we
should all go on strike.

Demand stock in the company
before it sells.

If General Mills knew
that we were on strike,

they would not
buy this place until
that strike was over.

See, that way,
Joel and Brian

would have
to give us stock.

Yeah. We should do it.

We should strike.
That's what I've been
saying this whole time.

We've gone through everything,
and the only way

we would even
consider a settlement

would be to the tune
of the number you see
on the bottom of page 18.

Does everyone have this?

What? We don't have
this kind of money.
Not even close.

Not in cash you don't.
Of course not.

But if you were to sell off
your assets, the property lease,
the equipment

Are you shitting me?

This would bankrupt us.
This is what I've been
trying to tell you.

If you think that I'm gonna
give up this entire company
that I have built

How about what my client
gave up? His testicles!
How about that?

In fact,
I'll make a deal with you.

We will drop this case
right now

if you come over here
and put your testicles
right here

and let me slam this door
like this!

Go ahead. We can settle
this right now.

Call it even.
I will drop this case
right now

if you let me slam your balls
in this door.

Because that's what happened
to my client!

Yep, those are
definitely guys
from General Mills.

You see that?
That is a negotiation
going on right there.

That is definitely what
that looks like to me.

What are we gonna do?
I've got car payments.
They're gonna take away my Geo.

They've done it before.
We gotta act fast. They could
be about to close the deal.

Yeah, and leave us
out in the cold.

Are we gonna lose our jobs?
We very well could, Hector.

We need to do one of
those walkouts. That's what
we need to do. Who's in?

We need a show of force.
Come on! It's now or never!
Come on, people.

Let's go! Come on!
Let's do this! Yeah!

Let's go. Let's do it.

I will gladly come down
on that price

if you go over there
right now and slam your
testicles in that door.

I don't want to slam
my testicles in the door.
I want you to be reasonable.

You won't even budge
one penny? Come on!
Like I say, if you slam your

I'll slam your balls
in that door!

I'm sorry.
Did you just threaten me?

Why don't you give it a rest?
We need to cool off for just
a minute. We'll be right back.

I don't need this.
I'm going home.

Yeah? What?

What?
Uh

Um, what's up, Joel?

Uh, basically, we were
we were thinking

Uh-We were just,
uh, thinking

Well-Well,
Rory had initially
pointed out that,

uh, you guys are
doing this deal with
General Mills, and

Yeah.
Well, we just
think that, uh

Well, we were
considering the idea

We think that m-maybe we
shh-ould get a piece of it.

And, you know,
so what we decided is

what everybody has decided
is that if we don't,
then what we're gonna do is,

uh, we're gonna, uhHang on.
You want a piece. Right?

Yeah.
Yeah. If we could.

How about the whole
goddamn company?
Sure.

You got it!
Everybody gets the whole place!
You guys run it, okay?

Everybody's in charge as of now.
Wait, wait.

You guys can pay for the new
conveyor belt and the lawsuit.
You can go meet with Adler.

He might slam your balls in
the door, but at least you'll
be the boss. Okay? Whoo-hoo!

So w-was that good,
or

I was gonna say more,
but you-you interrupted me,
and I

lunch buffet features all
the food you love at a great

Big turn at second.
He throws on the brakes.
He'll stay there.

He just turned on that pitch.
I think four innings is all Barone can handle.

He hasn't handled
the fourth inning.

Listen, Joel. I need
to tell you something.

Um, you've been really
busy at the factory for
the last couple years,

and ever since I started
working at home,

it seems like maybe I
wasn't feeling as pretty
as I used to feel.

You banged the pool cleaner?
What?

That what you're
trying to tell me?
You had sex with Brad.

You knew?
Yeah, I knew. I hired him.

I know you hired him,
but how did you know

I didn't hire him to clean
the pool. I hired him
to have sex with you.

What?

W-Wait.
Why?

Um, I hired him to have
an affair with you

because I wanted
to have an affair
and not feel guilty.

But I-I was very, very drunk,
and I was on some kind
of a horse tranquilizer.

Brad was getting paid?
You paid Brad this whole time?
All 15 times?

Fifteen?

Yes.
Jesus Christ.

Has it even been 15 days?

God.
Unbelievable.
How can you even sit down?

Wait, you wanted to have
an affair with another woman?
Um, yes, but I didn't.

Why didn't you just
talk to me about it?
I was going to.

But, you know, Dean

You know,
he gave me some pill.

God, you asshole.
I'm the asshole?

Yes! I'm leaving.
Technically,
I didn't even do anything.

You could've said,
No, thanks.
Just clean the pool.

None of this would've happened
if you hadn't hired him.
Hey, guys.

Glad I caught you.
You guys hardly ever
answer the door.

Now's not
a really good time.
I'm leaving.

When do you think would
be a good time, ya think?
I don't know. I don't know.

See, the thing is
How about tomorrow?
You want to come by tomorrow?

Great.
Okay?

What time?
Um, I don't know.

Just sometime tomorrow
would be great.
Okay, great.

So if you could go ahead
and have that check,
that would be great.

It's 110.
Okay.

That's two plates
at $55 a plate.
Okay.

I'm gonna close this.
Okay.

Joel?
Hi.

Hey-What
How did you know
that I was here?

I'm actually
staying here too.
I thought I saw you, so

Oh, come in. Sorry.
Oh, do you want something
to drink? I have soda.

No, thanks.

Listen, I am so sorry about
what happened with Willie.

He gets crazy.
That's why I had to move out.

So-Um, have a seat.

That's Mary's purse, right?

Huh?
Right there.
That's Mary's purse, right?

Uh, no, that's my bag.
Uh, so, wait.

How are things at work?
How's everybody?

This is Mary's purse,
and you stole it.

Am I right?

Joel, that's my bag.

It probably just looks
like hers. You know, there's
a lot of them out there.

I have never seen
another one.

Or another teddy
in a fucking tutu.

Now, what are you
doin' with Step?

Huh? You're the only reason that
he's suing this company, right?

You have any idea
how much work I put into
building up that company?

Do you have any clue?
Do you care?

I'm gonna go.
I'm gonna take this.

If it really is your bag, you
can call the police. You can
tell them I stole it. All right?

On second thought,
I'm gonna call 'em
right now,

and I'm gonna tell 'em
that you stole it.

Joel, please don't.
Why?

Joel, please don't
call the police.

I'm on probation,
and I will go to jail
for a really long time.

Maybe you should have thought
about that before you started
ripping off my employees.

Joel, please? I promise you.
I will leave Step alone,
and he will drop the lawsuit.

How do I know that?
You can keep the bag.

If I don't leave Step alone,
if he doesn't drop the lawsuit,
then you can turn me in.

Yeah, that, um
And, uh, Sylvia's wallet
and Jim's watch?

You got those?
Can I have those too?

I guess that, um, works.

I mean-Great.

I bet you weren't even into
food flavoring, were you?
Mm-mmm.

What is your deal?
How do you end up like this?

Hey?

Hey? This is what
I'm talking about.

This manipulation
here with the tears.
I'm not gonna fall for that.

Forget it.

You better not be faking it.
Okay? Because I'm
actually feeling bad.

Hello?

Are you faking it?
Mmm.

Well

I'm sorry.
You know, I just, uh
You know.

I was just
I was just curious about how
somebody ends up like this.

All right, just

Shh, shh-shh-shh-shh,
shh-shh-shh.

I'm very sorry. Okay?
Don't worry about it.

I just thought
I'd just ask how a

Cindy? Cindy?

Oh, shit.

Who were you thinking of
when we were making love

Last night

Was it a good-looking stranger
or a close friend of mine

You didn't want to quit
when we was into it

Last night

Joel hasn't been in
all morning.
Can you believe that?

If we come in late,
we get in trouble.
Mm-hmm.

And Hector
didn't steal it.
Cindy did.

Can you believe that?
Blaming Cindy just to
protect Hector. Typical.

We really do need to go
to the grocery store, Step.

You heard from Cindy lately?

It's been over three days
since she borrowed your truck.

Maybe we ought to call
the cops or something.

Look, she'll be back, all right?
She wouldn't steal my truck.

Okay.

Ah. That's the last
bottle of Pepsi.

Maybe I'll just call Domino's
and have them
deliver some Pepsi.

Still, if she didn't
steal your truck,

and she didn't
get into an accident,
what do you reckon

Shut up about Cindy already,
fore I kick your fat ass!

Domino's. Hello, Mr. Wilkinson.
Hello.

Hey. Hey, Brian.

Step's here to see you.

Is he? Uh, great.
Bring him in.

He's, uh, outside
at the loading dock.

He wants to talk to you alone
out there for some reason.

You know
Man to man.

I'm sick and tired of dealing
with that Adler fella.

Truth is, I just want
my old life back.

I just wanna
get back to work.

You know?
I'm a working man.
That's-That's what I do.

The problem is,
if I bankrupt the company,

there won't be a job
for me to go back to.

You don't have
to bankrupt the company.

Well, if I drop the lawsuit,

you'll sell the company,
and the new company, well

Who'd want to hire
somebody with one ball?

Well
You know, listen.

I don't think they're-they're
actually allowed to ask,
so you're okay.

Um-You know,
I'm a working man too, Step.

You know, I make extract.
That's-That's what I do.

You know? Vanilla.

Cherry. Root beer. S'mores.

And-And a lot of people
don't think that
that's very cool,

but I think that
it is pretty cool.

So why would I want
to sell this place?

I think that I just
got distracted with Dean

and the drugs
and the gigolos.

And, uh-uh

You know, what I'm saying
is that I'm thinking about
maybe not selling the company.

That is,
if there isn't a lawsuit.

There is gonna be
that insurance money, Step.
So, what do you think?

Yeah, that sounds fair to me.

Uh, under one condition.

What's that?
You make me floor manager.

Hold the line!

Thank you.

Okay.

Everybody, gather round!
Listen up!

Okay, uh-First of all,
I want to say

that I've decided
not to sell the company.

All right?

And, uh, secondly,
I am making Step here
the new floor manager.

If anybody doesn't like that,
I hear they're hiring
over at GemCo.

Remember, though,
at GemCo the owner
doesn't know your names.

You'll probably never even
meet him. He's, like, in some
corporate office somewhere.

Here, I'm just upstairs.
You can come up there and tell
me if you got a problem, okay?

That's all. Okay?
Step, the floor is yours.

Hmph!

You're not selling?

I'm not selling.

You better start learning
their names, Brian.

Hey!

You two get back to work!
Quit your yappin'.

Hey, man.

Look, I know you probably
want to kick my ass.

I just want to tell you that
I'm not gonna see Suzie anymore,

so you don't
have to worry.

She's really into you, dude.

I guess that's why
she married you and shit.

Whatever.

You're a really lucky guy,
and I'm sorry if
I messed shit up.

Why'd you have to get hung up
on Suzie? You could have
any girl you want.

Yeah, but I want Suzie.
I can't have her.

You had her 15 times.

Well, yeah.

But she doesn't love me, dude.
It's just not the same.

Anyway,
I just want to tell you that.
All right. You told me.

All right. Later.

Hey, um, so I was
wondering, um

I-I quit my
landscaping job,

and I don't really think
I'm cut out for
the whole gigolo thing.

You know, so do you think
you might have, like, a

opening or whatever
at the extract plant?

I'm not gonna
give you a job, okay?

Yeah. Sorry.

Or just, uh,

come by the office
and fill out an application.

I'll see what
I can do, okay?

Cool. Thanks, man.

There he goes.

Johnny Horse-cock
rollin'.

You know, I'm starting to think
this might have been a mistake.
Really?

Maybe it was my fault, you know?
Maybe it was your fault.

No, it's yours.
A lot of blame
to go around here.

I think there are some people
who just aren't meant
to do drugs, Joel.

I think you're one
of those people, man.

Yeah.

Hello?
Oh, shit.

Why are you cleaning
the pool yourself?
New guy didn't work out?

Yeah.
No, it didn't work out.

Boy, it's just hard
to get good help, huh?

Yeah.

Hey, uh, did you get a chance
to write that check?

Nathan, Joel and I are not
going to that dinner.

Okay?

Gee, I wish you would've
told me that before I went
and bought those tickets.

Joel never agreed to it,
and neither did I.

Well, it sure sounded
like you guys were coming.

I mean, Leslie was gonna
talk to you about it,
but you don't return our calls.

I mean, I already
bought those tickets,
and they're nonrefundable.

I really wish you guys had been
a little more clear with me.

Well, then, let me
be clear with you now.

When we say things like,
I don't think so,

or I'm not sure,

or we close the door in
your face, that means No!

Why can't you
get that? Well, it

Shut up! Okay?
Let me be even more
clear with you, Nathan.

We don't like you.

Is that clear enough
for you? You're dull.
You talk too much.

You never listen.
You're always in our yard.

I don't know what the hell
you're barbecuing over there,
but it stinks.

You lay out in your front yard
and listen to your car radio?

You are the worst neighbor
in the world.

We don't like you.
Is that clear enough for you,
Nathan? Is that clear?

Shut up! Nathan!

Oh! Nathan!

Nathan?

Hi. Hi.

Are you okay?

I think I might have
killed him, Joel.

The last thing he heard was me
yelling at him to shut up.

Well, he
he did talk a lot.

Yeah, he was going on and on.
I finally lost it.

I'm sure it wasn't your fault.
Probably just a coincidence.
You know?

I don't know.
I just-I still feel
really guilty about it.

I actually told Leslie
I would go to that

Rotary Club dinner tonight.

Said Nathan would have
wanted it that way.

I said I'd go to that too.
Oh.

So, who was this woman
that you wanted to have
the affair with anyway?

She was just some
criminal drifter.

Eh, it wasn't that great.

I thought that she was really
into food flavoring, and, uhReally?

Yeah, I should
have known better.
Nobody's into food flavoring.

Well, I don't know. I mean,
you guys sell a lot of that
stuff. People are into it.

Uh, you should know,
by the way, I hired Brad.

Yeah, I know.
You told me that,
remember? The whole

No, sorry.
Not for the sex thing.
Or the pool.

I-I mean that I hired him
for the factory.

Why?
H-He's a total moron.

Yeah, I-I know. This is
gonna sound kind of weird,
but I felt sorry for him.

Yeah. So did I.

Ah, well, my car's
over here, so

I guess I'll see you
at the Rotary Club?

Yeah,
I'll see you there.

Suzie? Should we maybe
just take one car?

Yeah,
we probably should.

Yeah.

I thought that was
a surprisingly tasteful funeral.
Yes, it was.

You know, when I
was looking down on him,
I thought

this might be the longest
I've ever seen him
with his mouth shut.

Yeah. I didn't expect
that many mourners.

There were a lot
of people there.
Yeah.

You have been
a friend of mine

Rainy day woman

That woman of mine
she ain't happy

Till she finds something wrong
and someone to blame

If it ain't one thing
it's another one on the way

Hey, you've reached Cindy. I'm
not here, so leave a message.

Sure as hell
looks just like rain

Where the hell is she?

I know where to go
on a cloudy day

How long does it take to get
some goddamned cigarettes
around here?

Oh, rainy day woman
I never seem to see you
for the good times

Here you are, sir. Or the sunshine

What the fuck?

You have been
a friend of mine
Rainy day woman

Oh, rainy day woman

I never seem to see you
for the good times

Or the sunshine

You have been
a friend of mine

Rainy day woman

One more, baby.
