Ned and Stacey (1995–2017): Season 2, Episode 5 - Les Is More or Less Moral-less - full transcript

- God, this has been
such a good year!

Getting a divorce,
working my way outta debt.

Finally feeling really,
ya know, independent.

Plus I'm so excited about
that trip mommy and daddy

bought me for Hanukkah.

- They got you a trip?

I got an ab roller.

- Merry Christmas.

I hope you kids have
been good this year

'cause Uncle Ned's
got warm muffins for ya.

Ho ho ho ho ho, woah ho,



hey, woah ho hey woah.

- What?

- Are these the baskets
that my boss ordered?

- Yeah.

- Well, let's load
'em up, cheapo.

Come on.

And it don't hurt to throw
in a couple of nudie dolls.

Why Stacey...

Why Ned...

It was business.

Strictly business.

Here's the deal, to
get the promotion,

I needed a wife.

To get a life, I
needed his apartment.



So, what the hell, we
up and got married.

The only thing we
have in common,

we irritate each other.

Right, enjoy the show.

- Mr. Moyer, he's
been waiting for you.

- Yeah, I...

Sorry.

I know I'm a little late, sorry.

It's probably about
this audit report.

I got here just as
quick as I could.

Is he mad?

- All I know is
that he's waiting.

- This is your little
baby Jesus, thank you.

- Well, the alarm works Pat!

Scared the crap
outta you, didn't we?

- You okay, Moyer?

- Yeah, just a few hot,
scalding coffee burns

on my groin, but...

- Well, sorry about that son,

but we've had some
information leaks around here

and I've had to
beef up security.

Got my rug wired with weight
sensors this very morning.

- Gee, I'm just so happy
to be the unwitting dupe, sir.

Is that why you
called me up here?

- Oh no, of course not.

I was expecting that
year end audit report

from you days ago.

Where is it?

- Well sir, I ran
into a few glitches,

so it's not quite ready yet.

- Oh for God's sake
Moynihan, the man is leaving

on a well-deserved
vacation right after the

Christmas party tonight.

When do you expect
him to look at it?

- Well, I...

- Are you trying to ruin
the man's vacation, huh?

What are ya, some
kind of vacation ruiner?

- I'm late for lunch.

Look, just email that
audit report to me

by the end of the day.

Today, got it?

- I got that sir, yes sir.

Les, could I have a word
with you for a second?

- Look, look, Moyner,

I'm sorry I laid
into ya back there.

It's just my need
to belittle others

in front of their superiors.

Merry Christmas.

- It's Moyer.

It's Moyer actually
and I wanted to ask you

about this audit.

- Catch me later.

I've got a massage.

- It's about your
expense account.

- What about it?

- Well, the truth is,
it's a little outta whack.

For instance, last
October, you put in for

a lot of lunches.

- Well, I had a lot of
lunches that month, so?

- Well, actually,
it was 94 lunches.

That averages out to
3.13 lunches per day.

- I binge and purge.

- Okay, well,

I dug a little further
and I found a lot more

questionable stuff.

There's dinners,
European vacations,

there's fur coats, jet
skis, Rogaine treatments.

There's breast enlargements,
breast reductions.

- Woah, woah, woah.

Wait a minute.

What is this?

Like I'm the only executive who

takes a few liberties
with his expense account?

- Well, no sir.

It's just not quite like this.

- How much could a
few perks add up to?

- Well actually, it's
just under $208,000.

- My God!

Moyle.

Ya know, you're my favorite
accountant here, don't ya?

There must be
something I can do for ya

to just make this go away.

Ya like girls in Catholic
school uniforms?

- I mean, not enough to lie
about an audit report, Les.

- Then why did you
even tell me about this?

You just wanna watch me squirm?

- I just thought I'd give
you a chance to explain,

that's all.

- I don't have an explanation.

- Well, you leave me no choice.

I've gotta submit
my report to Kirkland.

- Oh really?

Well let me tell you something.

I may walk on land,

but I am a shark.

You cross me and I
will swallow you whole

and let you die very
slowly in my intestines.

Merry Christmas.

- That's not even
medically possible.

Your stomach acids
would kill me long before

I could die in your
tummy, so Merry Christmas

to you too, buddy!

Ned.

- Huh?

- I've got an airport
shuttle coming any second.

Call me when they buzz, okay?

- Okay.

Pull my tie.

- What?

- Come on, pull my tie.

- Is this the same as
when I pull your finger?

- Maybe.

Come on, pull my tie.

♪ Christmas time is here

♪ A time for joy and cheer

♪ Reindeers hooves are racing

♪ Santa's elves are dancing

- If you wanna hear
Hanukkah music,

give me a wedgie.

- As tempting as that is
Ned, I've gotta finish packing.

- Hey Les, Merry Christmas.

What brings you over?

- Oh you know what
brings me over, Dorsey.

Your little friend
in accounting.

- Oh yeah, Eric told
me the whole story.

- 12 years, eight audits.

Nobody finds nothin'
and he gets assigned

to do one and he's
like the terminator.

Except instead
of killing people,

he's adding up
numbers correctly.

- So, what do you
want from me, Les?

- Talk to him Dorsey.

Everyone knows you
have him on a short leash.

Make him squelch that report!

- First of all, I don't
have him on a leash.

His wife does.

Secondly, I'm not
getting involved Les.

- Ned, Ned.

Look, I'm 47 and
I am in a business

where 30 is old.

I haven't had a
good idea in years.

I stole that one.

I'm hangin' by my fingernails
and Kirkland finds out

about that report,
my career is over.

My life is over!

♪ Christmastime is here

♪ A time for joy and cheer

- Huh, huh?

And I'm about to floor ya.

I got this for 12.95.

- Hey, you're really
enjoying watching me

twist in the wind, aren't ya?

- No Les, I am
not enjoying this,

but the truth of the matter is,

you dug this hole for
yourself, my friend.

- Don't get high
and mighty on me.

Maybe there are a few
things you don't want

Kirkland to know either.

- Hey, it's a prescription
device and I need it for support.

- I'm not talking about

whatever the hell
you're talking about.

I'm talking about her!

- What about her?

- Well, how would you
like it if I told Kirkland

about your cute
little fake marriage?

- Fake marriage?

Huh, that's just crazy talk Les.

Right Stacey?

That's just crazy talk.

- Umm, yeah, crazy talk.

- Please, spare me, both of you.

She told my wife all about
your little arrangement

at Kirkland's pool
party last year.

- I did not!

Oh wait, I did.

Oh look look, we played tennis

and we had a few mimosa's
and then she was telling me

about Les's problems
in bed, so I felt like

I had to share something!

- Look Dorsey,

I have no beef with you.

But my back is
against the wall here.

Now you straighten this out

or you are going down with me.

And you tell that
know-it-all Moyer

that there have been
cases documented

where an animal has
passed through the stomach

of a shark alive and
intact only to suffocate

in the intestines.

- Gosh man, I
can't believe this.

Okay, cannot panic here.

Gotta think, gotta think.

- Umm, that's my shuttle.

So, have a really
good time at the party

and don't eat too much
and I'm really sorry

I revealed the fake
marriage and all.

See you in a week.

- Don't move.

- But I...

- No, no moving.

You got me into this and
now you're gonna help

get me out of it.

- But my vaca...

- No, no speaking either!

No moving or speaking!

- But, I!
- Speak, no!

- Move, no!

Now I want you to meet
me at the Christmas party

in one hour and I'm
gonna go find Rico.

- Can I move?

- No.

- Okay honey, I just
finished loading the car

with all the baskets and
these are the last two.

Thank you for your
help, by the way.

- I'm sorry honey.

- Oh hey now.

What's goin' on?

Are you still thinkin'
about that thing with Les?

- Me? No.

Well, yeah, a little.

- Oh hey now, listen,

honey, I'm really proud of you.

- Yeah?
- You did the right thing.

- You think so?

- Oh yeah!

I mean, he's just
lucky I wasn't there

when he was mean to you.

'Cause I would've slit him
open and hollowed him out

and I would've paddled
him around like a canoe.

- Ya know, I love it when
you talk like that, come here.

- Rico!

And Amanda.

- Ned, do you usually watch
people from the hedges?

- What is it, Ned?

- I need your help, Rico.

- What's the matter?

- I think I may be a woman
trapped in a man's body.

- Wow, well that
would explain a lot.

Alright, I'm gonna
go wait in the car.

- Ned.

Ned, ya know, those
feelings are normal.

I have them all the time.

- Yeah no!

I'm not a woman in a man's body.

- What, what is it?

- Did you already turn that
audit report in to Kirkland?

- Yeah, I emailed it
about a half an hour ago

right before I left.

- Darn.
- Why?

- Damn it.

Well maybe he hasn't
had a chance to read it yet.

Do you think you
can retrieve it?

- It's possible
but what's wrong?

Why would I wanna do that?

- Look, Les found out
that I married Stacey

to get a promotion and he's
threatening to tell Kirkland

unless we squelch that report.

- Well, that rat fake.

He'll do anything to cover
up his slimy larceny, won't he?

- Don't I know it?

But he's not gonna get
away with it, no sirree.

Soon as we get that
audit report back,

ya know what we're gonna do?

We're gonna take
a bag of dog doo,

set it on fire, put it
on his front porch,

ring the bell and run away.

Then we'll see who's laughing.

- I'm not comfortable
doing that Ned.

- Why not?

Ya see, when he's
stamping out the fire,

the dog doo gets
all over his shoes.

It's a big mess,
it's really funny.

Well, I've done it before.

- I don't mean that.

I mean stealing my audit
report back and then changing it.

I can't do that!

- Why not?

- Well, it's unethical.

When I went to
accounting school, I took a

sacred oath.

- Accountants
don't have an oath.

- I wrote my own.

Then I took it.

- My career is on
the line here, Eric.

I don't wanna start
over at another agency.

I can't sleep with all
those people again.

Come on.

What's it gonna be?

- The answer's no.

Now, can you respect that?

- Yeah, I can.

- Fine, then I'll do it.

- Ned, I apologized 50 times.

I postponed my vacation
and now, I am here.

So what the hell do
you want me to do?

- I'm gonna find Rico and
see if he's retrieved the report,

so I may not even need you.

In the meantime, go over there.

They have free food.

Fill up your purse.

- Shut up!

Oh, little blinis.

- Oh hey Ned.

Hi, have you seen Eric?

He disappeared the
second we got here.

- I do not know where Eric is.

- Merry Christmas everybody!

Merry Christmas.

Oh Amanda, these are gorgeous.

- Oh thanks.

- Listen, let's put
them in my office.

I have to go in there
anyway to print out

your husband's report.

- Okay.

- No, no.

No, Pat.

You can't go into your office.

- Why not?

- Because.

I may be a woman
trapped in a man's body.

- Come on, let's go.

- Don't let Pat go
into his office, go!

- Pat!

- Yes?

- You are going on vacation.

- I do a little
hunting in Vermont.

- Oh wow.

This is so weird.

I am quite a hunter
myself, don't ya know?

- You're a vegetarian.

- Well, I don't eat them.

I just kill 'em.

- What do you hunt with?

- A sword.

- Rico, did you get the report?

- I can't access his
file for some reason.

Woah woah, pay dirt.

- Did you get in?

- No, but I'm in the
lesbian chat room.

- Ya know, they call
that fun bunching.

Come on, we don't
have time for this.

- I'm telling ya, I
can't get in from here.

He's got a new security
code that blocks access

from all outside terminals.

The only way to delete
the file is from his computer.

- Well, let's go
to his computer.

- He's got a new alarm
system underneath his carpet.

- Damn that paranoid
security-minded old bitty.

Damn him to hell!

♪ Christmastime is here

♪ A time for joy and cheer

- After I sawed the
head off, I skin it.

That is my favorite part.

- I really need to go
away from you now.

- Okay, we're in.

- I just wanna go
on record as saying

I'm very against this.

- Ya know, you have
been a real killjoy

ever since that wrong
turn at the elevator shaft.

- I almost dropped
47 stories to my death.

- Stop exaggerating.

I had you firmly by one ankle.

Don't touch that floor!

- Don't drop me and I won't!

Okay, alright start typing.

- This is ridiculous.

I'm the one honest
person in this whole agency

and I'm the one
dangling here like an idiot

covering up for everyone
else's stupid, slimy lies.

- Hey, you made this
decision of your own free will.

- Yeah after you
whined and whined about

how you didn't wanna
lose your stupid job.

- Hey, what are you doing?

- No, let's just forget it Rico.

Let's just forget
the whole thing.

I may lose my job but
at least your precious

integrity will be intact.

May I add, Tom Cruise was
much sexier in his harness.

- I crawled through a
mild duct on my keys

only to let you dangle
me by a cord above

my boss's desk.

I think I'm entitled to
a little bit of attitude.

Now let me back down!

- Not without an apology.

- Alright look,

I don't want to fight.

I just wanna do this
and get outta here.

- Well I don't
wanna fight either.

- Alright then, I'm sorry.

- I'm sorry too.

I hate it when we fight.

- Me too.

By the way, that's nice
cologne you've got on.

I'll see ya later.

- Alright.

- Even after it's skinned,
the work's not over

'cause there's still like
these little bloody chunks

of flesh and cartilage
that haven't quite

been stripped...
- Please Stacey.

- You're making me sick.

For God sakes, I hunt quail!

- This cookie is good.

Hey, what was that?

Now ladies, be careful
until I turn off the alarm.

- It's Kirkland, pull
me up, pull me up!

Pull me up, pull me up!

- Woah, be careful, be careful.

Oh, I just love my alarm.

- Hey, you know
what would be great?

Let's play that really fun
office game, don't look up.

- Stacey, what got
into you this evening?

- Yeah, really
God, you are acting

like a total...

Partymeister, I love that game!

Pat, you first.

Keep your head on the floor.

- Alright, alright, okay.

Like this?
- Yeah!

- This is fun!

- See?

- Can I print out the
report while I'm here?

- No, no, no, no, no.

See, that defeats the
whole purpose of the game.

- Must pull harder.

Must not drop him.

Must stop talking like

William Shatner.

- Okay now
straight out the door.

First one to the elevator wins!

I think I got a lead on you.

- Oh no you don't!

- Hi honey.

- Hey, how you doin'?

- Just fine, just great.

There's just one little thing.

What are you doing?

- Les found out about
Ned's fake marriage to Stacey

and if we don't
retrieve this audit report,

he's gonna tell Kirkland
and he's gonna get Ned fired.

- Oh, so he talked
you into this?

I knew it!

Ned, I'm so sick
of you dragging him

into your selfish
little schemes!

He's not your puppet!

- Well umm,

actually he is.

See? Look at that, right there.

That stuff right there.

- I win!

I win, I wi...

- The hanging from
the ceiling game!

I have winners.

- Moyer, what's
going on around here?

- What do you mean?

- You're hanging
from my ceiling!

- No I'm not.

- Oh yes you are!

- Eric, stop it.

Just tell him what's going on.

- Okay, it's all over pal.

Come on down.

Ned.

- Woah, hey!

Is this where the party is?

Hey woah, I haven't read
the employee manual Pat,

but that looks like
sexual harassment to me.

- Now Ned, stop.

I want a full
explanation of this!

- Alright look,
it's not Eric's fault.

We were trying to
retrieve the audit report to

protect a certain
person in the company.

- Who, who is it?

- Jingle bells, jingle
bells, jingle all the way.

Oh what fun...

Hey.

- Well, who is it?

- Washington.

Whit.

Here ya go, Mo...

Moyer.

- Oh, thank you.

- Say, by the way, I was
doing some more reading

about sharks and guess what.

I was right.

- I don't think so.

- Oh yeah, I suppose
you know more than the

Galapagos Island 30-year study.

- Well, I'm not saying I do
and I'm not saying I don't.

- Oh, you are an annoying S-O-B.

- Oh, so says the mail boy.

- Linchman!

Baldikoski!

- Oh, fire fire!

What's that smell?

Hi, I'm Thomas Haden Church.

Setting dog doo on
fire may seem funny

but I assure you it's
no laughing matter.

Last year alone, there
were over 35,000 dog doo

related accidents.

Woah, goodnight.
