- I don't know.

He wants like three kids and
I kind of only want two, so.

- I want four.

- I mean, that's a lot.

You're gonna have to get
like a mini van or something.

- [Pink Dress] We're gonna get like a bus.

- [Black Dress] A Suburban.

- [Pink Dress] We're gonna have
a charter bus for everybody

sitting together.

- [Black Dress] Yeah.

Oh, geez.

So how long are you working here till?

Are you out at like eight or?

- [Black Dress] I don't know.

Whatever the manager says.

- [Pink Dress] Yeah, he
basically cut my hours.

I'm only like 10 hours.

- [Pink Dress] I'm so tired of it.

- [Black Dress] You
have to get another job.

- [Pink Dress] I know.

Like I'm not making enough money here.

We'll see what happens.

- Not doin' it.

- Nope.

I'm kind of tired...

(elevator beeping)

- Excuse me.
- Excuse me.

- Like my horoscope basically
told me to buy that dress.

- See, you know how I
was online last night.

You know dogs can't actually look up.

- Ridiculous.

- No, it's true.

Hence the vertebrachail
association in the neck.

- That's not even a word.

- It's on the website.

- [Man] I've been to that website.

- Oh, there you are.

- Thank you.

Ah, it's John, actually.

Hey, Tom.

Got your mail again.

- Really?

What's up with that?

Our names aren't even close.

It's like nobody even tries around here.

- [John] Yeah.

- [Tom] Thanks, Joe.

- [John] It's John, actually.

- Taking a little break?

- No, I was just--

- What does that say?

- [John] Um...

- Um?

What's the matter?

Can't tell time?

What does it say?

- [John] Well, it's--

- Hmm?

What does it say?

Since you can't tell time, I'll
inform you of what it says.

It says it's 10:13am.

It's 10:13am, everybody.

Brett!

- Ah, yeah, boss?

- What time do we go on lunch?

- Noon.

- What's that?

- 12 o'clock, sir.

- And have we ever gone
on lunch at 10:13am?

- Nope.

- Are you sure?

- Yeah, yeah, yes.

- No.

No, we definitely do not.

So if it's not too much trouble for you

to make your way back to your desk,

sit in it and do the job

I so graciously pay you to do.

Do you think you could do that?

- [John] Yes.

- [Boss] Emily.

In my office.

- Yeah, no, Pangea still exists.

They discovered the ruins last year.

- Oh.

- In the Pacific Ocean.

- Wow.

- I just don't have a car right now.

- You can ride there on my face.

- I just don't understand why
you're putting up with that.

- [Brett] Well, they were the
forebearers of agriculture

is where that started, actually.

- [Man] Oh.

- [Brett] Farming and stuff like that.

I don't want to get into it right now.

- [Man] It was Mexico, right?

- [Brett] Yeah, no, no, it's Pangea.

Still, I'd rather...

- [Billie] So I can't
meet up with us tonight.

- [Haylee] There's no way
you can't meet up tonight?

- [Billie] No, I have to meet
this girl from last night.

- [Ricky] There is no
way that earth is round.

have a lot less potassium?

- Oh, yeah?

Are you gonna eat this?

- Africa is actually real
disproportionate on--

- I've heard that before that, yeah.

- On Tungsten projections.

- Yeah, exactly.

I've noticed that
Greenland is so much larger

in real life.

- Yeah, it's actually.

- When I met him he had long, dark hair

with red streaks in it
and I was like, done!

(laughing)

- Done as in no?

- No, done as in yes.

I love that.

- Okay.

- I can't get enough shaggy-haired boys.

- Ew, I mean, it's shaggy-haired.

If I wanted a boy I'd want
him like Justin Timberlake.

- [Emily] I would rather
bang Justin Bieber.

- [Haylee] Yeah, well this
one could fill a book.

- [Billie] Whoa, okay, well.

- Hey, we're having a show.

You should come.

- Okay.

(laughing)

- Is this what I pay you for?

Hmm?

- No.

- Are you unclear about what your job is?

I'm sure your mommy and daddy told you

you could do whatever you wanted to do

and be whatever you wanted to be,

but your mommy and daddy aren't here.

Here you be

what I want you to be

and you do what I tell you to do.

Nothing else.

- [Brett] Sales has always
been inferior to (mumbles).

It's obvious.

It's in the care accounts of the...

- [Ricky] I don't know,
that's just amazing.

- [Brett] That's, that's, wow.

- Wow, twice?

- Twice.

- That man.

- In front?

- Yes.

- I saw him.

Is he the one?

- Yes, I think he is.

Do me a favor and go fetch
him, will you my dear?

- Of course.

(coughing)

Excuse me, sir?

- Thank you for coming to the show.

I'm Maxamillion.

- I really enjoyed it.

Your part especially.

I'm John.

- John.

Hello, John.

So do you practice magic?

- What, me?

No way.

No, not ever.

I mean, I'd love to, but no.

Not me.

- Well that's a shame.

I bet if you were to try it,
you'd be really good at it.

John, my friend, I have a gift for you.

(sighing)

It's a book.

My book.

Well, it was mine for awhile,

but it's time to pass
it on to someone worthy.

It's my book of tricks.

My book of secrets.

All my secrets for you.

- [John] I, I can't take this.

- You don't want it?

- [John] Yes, I do, but--

- John.

I choose you.

Only you.

It's yours.

I give this to you.

Now there is a condition.

You mustn't read ahead.

Study the tricks.

You must learn the tricks in order.

Do you promise?

- Yes.

- Okay.

(coughing)

- Good evening, sir.

How was your evening?

You would like me to maybe read fortune?

- Oh no, I don't have an--

- I see you have been given this gift.

You don't need me to read fortune.

You now have everything you need

to have all the power you
could ever want. (chuckles)

But it does come with
consequences. (laughing)

- [John] Welcome to our newest member.

In your hands a unique treasure,

for when it comes to this endeavor,

you are this book's newest possessor.

Passed on and on throughout the years,

encapsulating blood, sweat, and tears.

Stupendous gifts inside this book,

so turn the page and take a look.

Remember what you earlier said,

keep the order, mustn't read ahead.

Learn these tricks and make them slick,

for they will bind you to your bailiwick.

(speaking in foreign language)

The beginning.

(carnival music)

(alarm clock beeping)

(light playful music)

- Well your sister's fighting again.

And I'm like, great, again?

- [Young Woman] Of course
you had to step in, you know.

- Well, that's what little sisters do.

They take care of like, the situation.

- So did you hit her or?

- I don't know.

I was just throwing hands.

(laughing)

Whackin' my hands down whenever.

Like, who cares?

Like I don't have a day job or anything

that's gonna like I have to worry about.

- Yeah.

- Sorry to keep you waiting.

What can I do for ya?

(light playful music)

(scoffing)

(elevator beeping)

- So it was, we went to college.

You know, you can spare a
room and things, you know.

- Oh, yeah.

- But now he's calling me.

- Oh, really?

- Yeah, and I just find it weird that

he's calling me for
stuff like, ooh, donuts.

Donuts, cool.

I got you, bro.

Whoa!

Donuts!

Donuts!

Donuts!

Get it, get it, get it!

Woo-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Ho-ho-ho-ho-ho!

Aw, man!

- I knew I liked this guy.

Oh, boy, I like this guy.

- Yeah, of course, of course.

Oh, that's so good.

- You better get in there.

- Carbs?

No.

- [Man] Who?

This guy.

- [Man] Hey, you want some donuts?

Donut guy.

- So have you ever tried vegan jerky?

- Ooh, jerky.

- Try some.

- [Brett] Like brothers.

- [Ricky] Yeah.

- [Brett] The four brothers.

- Any, any birthday joke or he was

putting on white face paint.

- Illuminati.

- I've never trusted clowns anyway.

- Exactly.

And that's the point.

You're not supposed to trust them

because we know instinctively

that they were probably the Illuminati.

They're controlling the world.

So whenever you hear that clowns

are controlling the world,

it's actually true.

- You ah, you guys want
to see a magic trick?

- [Ricky] A what?

- A what?
- What?

- Is he new?

- Yup.

- What?

(laughing)

- Oh.
- Oh.

- That's cool.

(laughing)

- Yes, every king needs his court jester.

Take a bow.

Really, take a bow.

Now show Emily.

- Hi, Emily.

- Don't be shy, show Emily now.

(sighing)

(hand slapping)
(coin jingling)

(laughing)

The real trick was making John disappear.

(laughing)

(playful carnival music)

(speaking in foreign language)

- [John] The intermediate.

(dramatic carnival music)

(alarm clock beeping)

(light playful music)

- Clients can see more of the
color spectrons because...

- Hey, new guy.

- [Man] What are they talking about?

Shaquille O'Neal's the
only other person I said.

Yeah, oh yeah.

- So I think I'm gonna win
the employee make out contest.

I'm makin' out with Kylie.

Hey, girl.

- Kyle?

- Ew, Kylie.

Check your hearing aid.

- Sorry, sorry, I'm supposed
to get a new one next week.

- You know about this contest
between you and Derek.

I'm sensin' a little sexual
tension between you two.

I think you're tryin' to,

tryin' to drop that rainbow
sweater and try the D, huh?

No?

Listen, if Derek's not available,

I'm all for representing all the Ds if ah,

I could just be there for you.

- I too would like to
offer up my services,

you know, for science.

- Aw, thank you, guys.

But I've actually tried the D,

and that's a hard no.

- So wait, though, I just wanna know.

The D is freely being given out here?

Then is that what's going on?

- Slut.

- Okay.

- [Brett] What's up, dude?

- Nice shirt, new guy.

- You guys want to see another trick?

- [Haylee] Totally.

- Sure.

- Now, I'm gonna riffle
through the cards like this.

You tell me when to stop, okay?

- Okay.

Stop.

- So there's your card.

Don't show it to me.

But you can show it to them.

I'm gonna fan these out.

You place it back in the deck.

Now let's see if I can find her card.

Now I'll bet you all anything

the next card I turn over
is gonna be your card.

- I'll take that bet.

(laughing)

- Not bad.

- That's awesome.

- Hey, what are you doing tonight?

- Going out with us.

That's what you're doing.

Yeah.

- I don't know.

- Ah, you'd hate it, anyway.

It's gonna be loud and full of a bunch

of cheap sluts and booze.

Kind of like Billie over here.

(laughing)

- It's true, though.

- It is.

- All right, guys, it's that
time to hit the grind again.

Kyle will be pissed.

- Why would Kylie be pissed?

- [Co-Workers] Kyle!

- [Ricky] Sorry, sorry.

Seriously if it wasn't for that concession

I would be a Kansas City Chief right now.

- See you at the bar.

(co-workers chatting in background)

(pen scrapping)

- [Woman] Melanie, let's go.

- Coming.

(speaking in foreign language)

- [John] The controller.

(slow carnival music)

(people chatting)
(carnival music)

- [Woman] Ball well, I miss.

- [All] Oh!

- [Man] That was awesome!

- Yeah, no, you, no.

(laughing)

- I got you, I got you, I got you.

- No, laying down would be prepared.

- I don't know that to prepare, okay?

All right.

- [Woman] You have on a beautiful top.

- Beautiful.

- [Woman] You guys are beautiful.

- [Man] You're beautiful people.

- Can we keep her?

Can I keep her?

- I grew a mustache
for you too, wanna see?

What?

Look what you did.

You just chased her.

- Hey, new guy, new guy!

- [All] New guy!

- It's ah, actually John.

- New guy, actually John. (laughing)

- Hey man, grab a seat, man.

- Hey, how we doin' today?

Can I get you a refill on anything?

- Say ah.

Err! (laughing)

(knocking)

- Hey, John.

I hate to tell you this,

but Kyle said he wants to
see you in the board room.

- Yeah, and he said right now,

and that's never a good sign.

Good luck.

- [John] Kyle?

- Come on in.

Close the door on your way out, Emily.

Did you get a call from me last night?

- No.

- No?

You mean I didn't sleepwalk,

stumble out of bed,

walk over to my pants,

grab my phone and call you?

- Um...

- Um...

- No.

- Maybe I was hallucinating.

Is that what you're saying?

- What?

- Maybe I was trippin' my balls off.

Yeah, I was tripping my
balls off and I thought,

I'll call that dumb motherfucker

who works for me

and tell him he can come in late.

Is that what happened?

(sighing)

Is that what happened?

- I'm sorry.

- You're sorry?

For what?

It sounds like I had the
night of my fucking life,

except wait.

No, none of that happened.

Do you know what did happen, though?

What did happen is I went home last night,

went to bed early,

had boring, obligatory sex with my wife,

and then I drank myself to sleep.

I did not, however, at any time call you

and give you my permission
to come in late.

Did I?

What's that?

- No.

- No, no.

Then what possessed you to
think you could come in late?

(thudding)

(dream-like carnival music)

(coughing)

- You've got to stop this.

I told you no good would come of this.

I told you!

(coughing)

Oh, God.

You're killing yourself.

Please just stop this.

I can't take it anymore!

(coughing)

Please, just stop.

Just, just make it all go away.

I always thought you were
perfect just the way you were.

Please just stop.

(coughing)

You're sick now, but you'll be okay.

(coughing)

(dream-like carnival music)

(whooshing)

(dream-like carnival music)

- You think this is about love,

support,

adoration for one's fellow man.

Love.

This isn't about love.

This is about power.

Power.

Those who have it, those who do not.

You, you my friend,

you have had no power in your whole life.

You can't even imagine yourself

as someone who will ever have it.

You now have everything you need

to have all the power you could ever want.

- But there are consequences.

Hey.

Hey!

Hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey, hey.

Hey!

- [Man] Hey.

- Hey.

Hey! Hey! Hey!

- [Man] Hey.

- Hey.

- Hey.

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

Hey! Hey!
(snapping fingers)

Hey!

Hey!

Hey!

(groaning)

Get up and get the fuck out.

- Are you okay?

- Oh, sorry!

- What up, new guy?

(co-workers chatting in background)

- I don't know why you're
there in that situation.

Like we told you again and again.

- [Billie] Do you want to come over

and watch Orange Is the New Black tonight?

- I mean, I'm here for you.

- Oh.

You just broke my friend's beer.

- Uh, sorry.

- You gonna pay for that?

- Look, I'll buy you
another beer, all right?

- We don't want another beer.

We want two beers.

- [John] Fine, I'll
buy you a couple beers.

I'm just, let me go get 'em for ya.

- [Man] Here that, man?

- Look, I don't know what you want.

I'm sorry.

I mean, he threw his beer at me.

I was just walkin' here.

- Am I hearing this right?

Bro.

Are you calling my friend a liar?

- [John] No, I'm just, what do you want?

I'll buy you another beer, I'm sorry.

- I want to hear an
apology with conviction

and feeling so my friend can hear it.

I want to hear an apology.

- Just leave me alone.

- Hey.

Fucktard?

We didn't get our beer.

- How you doin'?

- Yeah, a gin and tonic, please.

- Absolutely, sir.

I'll be right back.

- How's it goin'?

- Fine.

- Fine.

Fine.

You, my friend, do not exactly look fine.

And good drink, by the way.

Dave makes a hell of a gin and tonic.

As long as he uses the good stuff

and doesn't water that shit down.

- Eat my dick!

- Oh-ho-ho.

So, weary traveler.

What is it about the way that you act

that makes me not believe
you when you say you're fine?

- I don't know.

I did some stuff.

- Stuff?

Ah, stuff.

Stuff can be pretty shitty.

I hear you, my friend, I do.

(sighing)

Okay.

Time for a special offer.

Tonight's special offer for you.

You, my good man, get to vent to your new

psychiatrist here, me.

And all for the price of
one of those gin and tonics.

Seriously.

I'm here if you want to vent.

All right, a couple more
gin and tonics, Dave.

So what's got you down?

- Well, I work for a total asshole.

- [Brian] Ah, work strife.

Power hungry asshole?

- Oh, yeah.

The guy's totally got it in for me.

- [Brian] Yeah.

Is there anyone you can tell?

- Not really, no one I know.

- Mmm.

Can you tell this guy off?

I mean, just tell 'em to
leave you the hell alone.

- No, I can't, I'm--

- Ah, not your style.

I can see that.

I can tell, you're a
nice guy who just wants

to keep to yourself, right?

And here you got this loser
breathing down your neck.

Shit, man.

That sucks.

I'm sorry.

You know what?

Cheers.

To you.

May you quickly find a way
to deal with this idiot.

- I just feel powerless.

- You now have everything you need to have

all the power you could ever want.

- What did you just say?

- I mean, come on.

You can't let a douchebag
jerk make you feel that way.

- No, no, no, no, I mean, what did you--

- [Man] Hey, hey!

- Dude! Dude!

- Yeah, man!

- How is it over there, man?

- Ah, it's great, man.

a new friend of mine.

I never got your name.

- It's John, how do you do?

- Eh, good to meet you, Bob.

- Listen, what did you mean when you said,

wait, wait, wait.

- So I got this promotion there.

I really gotta hit the head.

I'll be right back.

- Ah, hey, Dave, man!

- [Dave] Hey, yo!

- [Dave] Yeah, shots?

- Yeah, man.

Hook me up.

Let's play what made me sick last.

- [Dave] Tequila it is.

- Awesome, thanks brother.

So Bob, how'd you meet
my buddy Brian, man?

- Oh, just tonight.

- Just tonight, huh, well.

He's a treasure, man.

I tell ya, that guy, he's solid gold.

Good man.

you know what I'm sayin'?

This is like, you ever

You know, like you just

It's like, I love you, man.

Brian's is a friend of mine.

Here, let me get you a drink.

- Oh, man, come on.

Man buys you a drink, you drink up.

Don't fret.

Mmm.

That means you're my friend, too, man.

I tell you this, I love you, man.

- Ah, he left.

But hey, listen.

What did you mean when said--

- What, that's my ride.

I gotta go.

- Okay.

- Hey, it's nice meetin'

Don't take any shit from anybody.

- [John] No, wait a minute, what did you--

- [Dave] Hey, come on!!

- Shit, shit, shit, shit, shit, shit.

Wait, hey, hey, hey, hey, hey.

Shit, shit!

- [On computer] Houdini
was too big of a man

to come back and shake
insignificant little bells.

(thunder clapping in background)

(dramatic music)

- Those are really gorgeous.

Where did you get those?

- I know, right?

My sugar mama.

- Okay, everybody, let's get started

so we can get this done.

Oh, and let's give John
a round of applause

for showing up on time.

(applauding)

- Ah, hey, good job, man.

You really knocked 'em dead.

(laughing)

- Go fly a kite.

(slap smacking)

- What's up, bro?

- Hi.

- I need you to fill all these out.

- Thank you.

- Super tedious, but, you know.

- Why don't you do it for me?

- New guy.

- Hi, John.

- So you do know my name.

- Of course, you've worked
here for like four years.

Do you know my name?

- Of course, Emily.

- Okay.

It would seem that some
of you need a refresher

course on our company's dating policy.

Anyone who is employed by me is a no-no.

That means to flirting.

No to sex.

No Netflix and chill.

No massage circles.

No bootie calls.

I want to make sure there
is no gray area here.

Do we all understand what we can't

do with each other?

I will make one exception, however,

and that's for John.

I know you and your hand have been

together a long time now and I would

really hat to deny true love. (laughing)

Am I right? (laughing)

- So the way we look at it,

if Rick would just stop
going to this website,

we could probably--

- No, this is the one he
told me about, though.

- Yeah, but we can--

- Hey, Billie.

- Hey, guys.

Those are for you, all filled out.

- You filled out my paperwork?

- What?

- Thank you.

- [Haylee] You what?

- [Billie] I filled out his TPS reports.

- Why did you do that?

- Because...

I don't know.

- Is that Brett?
- Weird.

- Oh my God.

- [Haylee] What?

- [Billie] Get out of here.

- [Haylee] What is he doing?

- [Man and Woman] He's flying a kite.

- [Ricky] It's the middle of the
work day and he's flying a kite.

- [Melanie] What the?

- [Billie] I got this.

- [Melanie] Are you
getting pictures of this?

(dramatic music)

- You know have everything you need

to have all the power.

- [Woman] All the power.

- All the power you could ever want.

- All the power you could ever want.

(dramatic music)

- You think he's tryin' to overcompensate

for somethin' with the
ribbon on that tail?

(laughing)

- [Woman] Probably.

- [Man] That is a really long ribbon.

- [Man] Yeah, it's ah--

- [Woman] I like the
juxtaposition of this scene.

- [Woman] Somebody
taking pictures of this?

(birds chirping)

- Okay, so what?

I mean.

It could be, I mean.

Maybe it's just a matter of...

You know?

- No.

- I mean, you hear about

these things all the time.

I mean, it could just be a matter of...

(footsteps echoing)

(laughing)

(box thudding)

(slamming)

(laughing)

(elevator doors creaking)

(elevator beeping)

What the?

- No, no, no, it was the early Iron Age

when the male genome was actually able to

mutate enough to grow hair on the face.

Back me up on this.

You're a history buff, yeah?

- [Man] He can't.

- Yeah, early Iron Age.

- No way.

- It was the 600s and
that's when the male face

started growing hair because
that's when the earth,

that is when the earth's temperature--

- Neanderthals had the
ability to grow hair.

Oh, hello.

Speaking of hair.

- We're not talking about,

we're not talking about the modern era.

We're not talking about the modern era.

- Oh my God.

(co-workers talking over each other)

(laughing)

- [Brett] In these thousands of years

the male genome has gone back in time,

regressed early back to a
time where we don't need it.

- Remember this?

- [Brett] It's true, it's true.

Which means eventually
time will flip completely

and females will start
growing hair on their face.

- [Man] Oh God, I hope not.

- [Billie] I hope not.

That's why I don't do dudes.

- [Brett] Not in our children's lifetime.

- I'm not gonna die, I
don't know about you.

I'm living forever.

Oh.

- Hey.

Where's my invitation?

Sit.

You guys are in here having a party?

You don't think I like parties?

I love parties.

I am a party.

- We were just talking.

- Was someone talking to you?

- Sorry.

- You shouldn't talk to her like that.

- [Kyle] Excuse me?

- She's a good person.

You should treat her with respect.

Now you're telling me how
to talk to my employees?

I own her.

- No you don't.

(chuckles)

- I own her.

I own you.

I own everyone in here.

Now get the fuck out.

I have something I want
to discuss with Emily.

(dramatic music)

(whimpering)
(rustling)

This doesn't concern you.

Stay the fuck back.

Take one more fuckin' step and I will

break her fuckin' arm.

- Please, just don't.

- Shut the fuck up.

- [John] Please stop hurting her.

- Is this what you want?

You want that fuckin', pathetic
piece of shit over there?

Is that what you fuckin' want?

You two stay the fuck away from each other

or next time I'll break it the fuck off.

Now get the fuck out.

- I'm sorry.

- [Kyle] Daddy wants to make up.

- Just go, John.

- [Kyle] I said get the fuck out!

(dramatic music)

- New guy!

- [Billie] Have you seen Kyle?

- [Haylee] I have seen, in fact, yes.

How she could, everywhere.

- Oh, I know.

- Every day, though, too.

I mean I guess she's
getting paid nice, but.

- Yeah, I mean, I don't
know how money there is.

(whispering) Kill Kyle

(dramatic music) Kill Kyle

- [In Ricky's head] Kyle.

Kyle. Kyle

Ky, Kyle.

Kylie.

- So how are the both of you doing

after such awful things
have happened here?

- Uh, I'm okay.

- It's been pretty crazy.

- Yes, tragic.

So the reason you're both here.

This is business and well,

the show must go on.

John, you've been here for
four years, haven't you?

- Yes, I have.

- And you know, John, your work has been

consistently good through that whole time.

And Emily you've been
here for a year, right?

- Yeah.

- Okay.

Well, let's get to it.

John, how would you
like to run this branch

from this point forward?

You've got the experience and
you're a good, solid person.

And I'd like Emily to work
alongside you, as well,

so that way you could teach her the ropes.

And eventually we can
get her into management.

- Wow.
- Yeah.

Yeah, okay, yeah.

- Thank you.

- Yes.

- [Boss] So do the two of you think you'll

work well together?

- Yeah.
- Yeah.

Have you seen the back right there?

You'll see our specials this evening,

I'll have the pasta with eggplant

and just a side salad with
the vegan vinaigrette.

- Awesome, and for you, sir?

- You know what?

That sounds better than
what I was going to get,

so I will have the same.

Thank you.

- Hey, guys.

I'm really, really sorry,

but the chef just informed me that

they're running really
low on the eggplant,

so I was just wondering if by any chance

we can substitute it with
some mixed vegetables

for your pasta?

- [John] Oh, sure, that's fine.

- Are you sure?

Thank you, I'm so sorry for the bother.

- [John] No problem.

- [Denny] Appreciate it.

Hey guys, once again
I'm so sorry about that.
