South Park (1997–…): Season 22, Episode 9 - Episode #22.9 - full transcript
Oh, boy!
This is looking so great!
Hey, Dad, the big bike parade
is this weekend.
How's it look?
First prize is $50.
What are you saying,
that our family needs cash?!
I'm busting my ass
trying to make ends meet!
You wanna go live
with Kim Kardashian?
She's better than me
'cause she's got money?!
you, son!
Butters really loves
that bike parade.
I don't need to be reminded
every 10 minutes
that money's tight.
I'm sorry.
It's just
this new job.
It can be
such a grind.
You work too hard
at that place.
Kids these days
just don't understand
how much their parents
break their backs
to provide.
British Worker:
Come on, Stotch!
You're driving carpool
today or not?
Gotta get down factory
before the bell!
Goodbye, Linda.
Don't let that place
work you to death.

Yippie!
Hey, fellas!
What'dya think?
Think about what?
How my decorations
are coming.
The big bike parade
is this weekend.
Bike parade?
That's so dumb.
Well, you won't think it's dumb
when I win first prize.
I'm going all out
this year.
I'll finally beat
Larry Zewiski.
Dude, nobody cares about
a stupid bike parade.
Larry: Hey, Stotch!
You gettin' pumped
for the big bike parade?
Yeah, I'm pretty excited,
I guess.
Wow!
Hey, nice bike, Larry.
Are you gonna be
in the bike parade?
Yeah, I'm thinking
about it.
Come on, girls.
I'll show you my blue ribbons.
Later, Stotch.
Sucker.
Well, anyway...
I'm gettin' some more things
for my bike, too.
I'll -- I'll see ya,
fellas.
So, this is where all the main
boxing and transferring happens.
I'm excited to have
you guys working here
at the fulfillment center,
Mr. and Mrs. Tweek.
We didn't really
have a choice.
Since the fulfillment center
opened,
me and wife's coffee business
has gone belly up.
Yeah, people are ordering
everything online these days.
That's why you'll find a lot
of familiar faces working here.
Everything's automated
and timed to precision
to get people's orders
out to them
as soon as possible.
This is Josh.
He'll be your section manager.
Howdy, folks.
In these warehouses,
there are
over one million items,
from toothpaste
to go-karts,
and it's the work of both
humans and machines
that make
the work possible.
Ahghghgghgh!
You'll get a message on
your device which item to get,
then get it to
one of our loaders,
and the machines
do the rest.
We got another one!
Josh!
Ahghgh!
Ahghghgh!
Wahghgh!
Hang on, Josh!
Ahghghggh!
Shut it down!
Shut it down!
It's not shutting down.
Ooohhh!
Ahghghghghggh!
Ahghghghghgh!
Whenever there's
a workplace accident,
you need to fill out
a 1081 form.
What are
you doing?
Mrph! Mrph rmhmhm!
Mrph?
"Wassup" is I thought we agreed
bike parades are stupid.
Mrph rmhmhm rm!
Don't lie,
Kenny!
You saw that Larry kid
scoring chicks with his bike,
heard about
the cash prize,
and you decided to do the
bike parade behind our backs.
I know 'cause I thought
the same thing.
Me, too.
Jesus.
Is this really what
it's come down to,
you guys?
Whatever
happened to us?
What do you
mean?
It used to always be
the four of us.
Always.
Now Stan's moved to a farm,
I have anxiety,
Kenny -- Nobody really
talks to Kenny.
And then there's
just... Kyle.
We used to do
everything together.
What if we did this,
like the old days?
Four bikes.
One common theme.
We could totally own
the bike parade.
Mrph!
If we order
everything online,
we can have it
delivered tomorrow!
We need props,
pyrotechnics, the works!
Yeah,
and we gotta order
some bad-ass spokes
and those wheel bumpers!
I'll start looking
for costumes!
What theme
are we thinking?!
Kenny, get on
your mom's laptop
and start ordering streamers,
sparklers, and rockets!
Make sure everyone ships
Next Day Delivery!
This is gonna be just like
the old times, you guys!
Irish Singer: ♪ Working
me fingers to the bone ♪
♪ I needs me a drink
before goin' home ♪
♪ Be back in the morning,
pack boxes at dawn ♪
♪ Workin' for Amazon
Can I get a beer,
please?
Whatcha got on tap?
Amazon, Amazon light,
and Amazon IPA.
Gimme Amazon light.
I'm a Prime member.
What the fook are we doin',
anyway?
Breakin' our backs!
Loadin' up forklifts!
Gettin' papercuts
from boxes!
And for what?
A measly paycheck
that just barely covers
our online purchases.
Yeah, well, we should be
thankful we even have jobs, huh?
Before the fulfillment center
opened,
we didn't really
have anything.
We had our dignity!
Everyone!
Everyone, listen!
Amazon just posted a statement
about Josh's accident.
They're calling it
human error.
"Amazon regrets the recent
workplace accident
and is working
to better train its workers
so that no future
accidents occur."
Who do they
think they are?!
It was the bloody
machines!
Okay, hold on, everyone.
I'm sure there's
an explanation.
This is what
we've been reduced to!
We are the backbone that makes
the fulfillment center work!
Maybe they should see
what it would be like
if we didn't
show up to work!
We'll do it for Josh
and so what happened to him
never happens to anyone else.
Hold on, guys!
M-My son has a big
bike parade coming up.
I-I can't just not
show up to work now.
What's more important
to you, Stotch?
A bike parade
or Josh?
A bike parade.
Amazon workers,
we are on strike!
My stuff's here!
My stuff!
My stuff!
My stuff, my stuff,
my stuff!
Morning, hon.
Shut up.
Stuff?
Stuff?
Mom, were there a bunch
of packages for me?
I don't think anyone's
getting packages, sweetie.
Look.
The Amazon Fulfillment Center
has been shut down
as hundreds of employees
refuse to work.
Customers
all over the state
are wondering where
their Amazon orders are
as workers demand more respect
and more money.
The uprising started
with a workplace accident
which Amazon blamed
on human error.
Joining me now is the victim
of the accident -- Josh Carter.
And, Josh,
how does it feel
to have your accident
spark so much upheaval?
You know, Tom, I think
something like this
was bound to happen.
There's those
at the top
who control the means
of production,
and then there's
the working class
that enables
those means
by selling their labor power
for wages.
When there's conflict,
the ruling class
tries to blame
the working class.
Can you get out
of the box?
No, my organs
have been compacted,
so if the box opens,
I spill out and die.
I believe
the working class
needs to revolt
against capitalism
and bring about
socioeconomic emancipation.
Do you get hot
in the box?
Ship to address.
Order now.
Usually ships in...
four to six weeks?!
I can make my own towels
in four to six weeks.
Mayor,
you have a visitor.
Not now.
I'm having problems.
But, Mayor,
it's, uh, Jeff Bezos.
Founder and CEO of Amazon
Jeff Bezos?
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Uh, let him in.
Right on through here,
Mr. Bezos.
Mr. Bezos!
How great to see you again!
How have you been?
I wish I was doing better.
Please, Mayor,
have a seat.
Oh, thank you.
I guess you're here
because of the... strike.
We had a deal, Mayor.
You told me this town would
be the perfect place
for one of our
fulfillment centers.
And it has been.
It gave so many people jobs,
and I'm not really sure why
everyone is so...
Disgruntled?
Dissatisfied?
Unamused?
Would you like to know why
Amazon is so successful?
Because the customer is
all that matters.
Now orders
are going unfulfilled
all over
the State of Colorado.
That makes us look
very bad.
It makes you look
very bad.
Perhaps...
you should no longer
be a Prime member.
Please...
I-I'm trying to get everyone
back to work.
I-I'm going to do
everything that I can.
Then we have
an understanding.
Goodbye, Mayor.
If everyone stays
unfulfilled,
it will be you
who pays the price.

Did you get anything?
Mrph rmphm.
I guess it's time
to face it.
We aren't gonna get
our stuff.
Maybe if we re-order
everything
and have it shipped to a
different fulfillment center...
There's no time.
Let's face it,
we can't be in the bike parade.
No! I refuse to believe
we have no other options.
What...
What did we do
before Amazon?
Mrph rmh rmphm?
I mean, before we could get
whatever we wanted,
where did we
get stuff?
At the...
The m--
The m-m-m--
the mall.
Oh, yeah! The mall!
Rmphm!
Guess we haven't been
to the mall in a while.
♪♪
There's nobody here.
There's gotta be
somebody.
Look!
It's Wiener on a Stick.
Uh, hello?
Welcome to
Wiener on a Stick.
Are you the only one
still at the mall?
There are many...
and yet none.
There he is!
Dad!
How did it go.
They voted
to keep striking.
There was a run in --
violence between some
of the strikers and corporate.
They've decided to punish us
by taking our status.
There's no easy way
to say this,
so I'll just come out
with it then.
We're...
not Amazon Prime members
any more.
Then what are we?
Everyone involved
in the strike
has been dropped down one level
from Prime.
We're --
We're now
Amazon USDA Choice.
That's...
fine.
We'll be USDA Choice --
I-It's almost as good as Prime.
You're a good woman
for saying that.
But you're a bitch
because it's a lie
and you're patronizing me.
Mom.
If I win the first prize
in the bike parade...
I'll give the money
to you guys.
Please...
I don't know
what else to do.
My family is all
that matters to me.
I made a promise
to provide for them.
What if we never get what we're
asking for from the strike?
What if they just get others
to do all the boxing for us?
See how
the worker begins to
question his determination.
Without his
Amazon Prime status,
he fluctuates between being
and non-being.
My family has to come first.
Now...
torn between memberships,
the consumer-worker will reason
that the strike is pointless.
Prepare a bus.
We must make sure that boxers
who wish to box
have a safe way into
the fulfillment center.
I think maybe it was a bad idea
to come here, you guys.
Why have you
come to this place?
We came because...
we need stuff.
Do you seek cosmetics?
Do you need puppies?
Sample of lotion?
What?!
Why, it's lemongrass
lavender.
No!
No, no, look!
We need very specific stuff.
There's a big bike parade
on Saturday.
Oooh!
Oooh!
Bike parade!
Bike parade?
Oooh!
Bike parade!
Yeah,
and the four of us
are actually doing
a group theme.
The changing faces
of immigrants in America
as told through
bicycles.
So...
do you need shoes?
Yeah, color coded specific shoes
in four specific sizes.
Aw!
Aw!
What?
We do not
have the inventory
that online wholesalers
can provide.
This is a waste of time,
you guys.
Mrph rmh rmphm.
Please!
You are the only customers
we've had the pleasure
of assisting
since the fulfillment
center opened!
H-Hold on a minute.
You all stay here
'cause you want to work?
It is...
our purpose.
Our purpose...
Our purpose...
Our purpose...
Wait a minute.
You guys...
I think I have an idea.
Reporter: A bus with employees
wishing to return to work
is about to arrive here
at the fulfillment center
and the strikers
are not happy!
Also, dozens of Amazon customers
have shown up --
angry customers who wish
to be fulfilled.
The customers say the boxers
need to return to work
because the shut down is
hurting everyone.
I have a weed business
to run!
I need my shit from Amazon
to make it all work!
At what cost, sir?!
Do you care that
personal worth
is being reduced by capitalists
to exchange value?!
Oh, yeah. That's typical
rhetoric from a Marxist box.
Free trade
is not free-dom!
Perhaps socialism
is the answer!
If you pay for shipping,
can you go anywhere you want?
Here comes the bus!
Scabs! Scabs!
Hey!
It's Stotch!
Ya can't do it, Stotch!
Ya damn us all!
Don't you understand,
it's not about me!
It's my son!
If those orders get fulfilled,
then we got nothin'!
He's just a kid!
He wants to be
in the bike parade!
My son's in the bike parade,
too!
He's got...
little tassels
off the back of his seat.
Tiny flags stickin' out
the handle bars.
But he deserves
more, Stotch!
If we don't make our stand now,
he doesn't have a chance.
He'll get fookin'
third or fourth place
or just a fookin'
participation ribbon!
I'm sorry.
Stotch!!
It is...
not as I expected.
Only one consumer-worker
broke through the picket lines.
Your townspeople
are more stubborn
than I thought.
They're prideful people,
yes.
Perhaps
I should give up.
How I long to return to Bezos
and touch butts with my wife.
Amazon Fulfillment Center.
Uh, yeah, hi.
We ordered a bunch of stuff,
and we haven't gotten it.
Yes! Yes, the workers
are striking.
We're working on it!
No, that's actually why
we're calling.
We know a whole bunch of people
who can come work for you.
♪♪
Is that so?
Now those fools will pay!
What fools will pay?
Oh, no, sorry, um...
You say you have
worker-consumers
willing to box?
Yeah, but listen --
We want our stuff.
We ordered a bunch of shit
for the bike parade
and if we get you
workers,
we want them to deliver
our stuff first.
Very well.
Stay right where you are.
You didn't tell me
there was a bike parade.
I didn't think
it was relevant.
Everything is relevant
when it comes to customers.
Voice: The history
of this world...
is the history
of class struggles.
Alienated from the products
of their labor...
from their fellow laborers,
and from their very essence,
the oppressed worker will
eventually strike back
at those capitalists
who control the means
of production.
We have nothing to lose
but our chains.
We will unite in revolution.
And if others try to break
through the picket line?
Nothing else can be allowed
into the fulfillment center --
No matter what the cost.
We're ready to
follow you, Josh.
Then follow me to hell.

the working class
that enables
those means
by selling their labor power
for wages.
When there's conflict,
the ruling class
tries to blame
the working class.
Can you get out
of the box?
No, my organs
have been compacted,
so if the box opens,
I spill out and die.
I believe
the working class
needs to revolt
against capitalism
and bring about
socioeconomic emancipation.
Do you get hot
in the box?
Ship to address.
Order now.
Usually ships in...
four to six weeks?!
I can make my own towels
in four to six weeks.
Mayor,
you have a visitor.
Not now.
I'm having problems.
But, Mayor,
it's, uh, Jeff Bezos.
Founder and CEO of Amazon
Jeff Bezos?
Yeah.
Okay, okay.
Uh, let him in.
Right on through here,
Mr. Bezos.
Mr. Bezos!
How great to see you again!
How have you been?
I wish I was doing better.
Please, Mayor,
have a seat.
Oh, thank you.
I guess you're here
because of the... strike.
We had a deal, Mayor.
You told me this town would
be the perfect place
for one of our
fulfillment centers.
And it has been.
It gave so many people jobs,
and I'm not really sure why
everyone is so...
Disgruntled?
Dissatisfied?
Unamused?
Would you like to know why
Amazon is so successful?
Because the customer is
all that matters.
Now orders
are going unfulfilled
all over
the State of Colorado.
That makes us look
very bad.
It makes you look
very bad.
Perhaps...
you should no longer
be a Prime member.
Please...
I-I'm trying to get everyone
back to work.
I-I'm going to do
everything that I can.
Then we have
an understanding.
Goodbye, Mayor.
If everyone stays
unfulfilled,
it will be you
who pays the price.

Did you get anything?
Mrph rmphm.
I guess it's time
to face it.
We aren't gonna get
our stuff.
Maybe if we re-order
everything
and have it shipped to a
different fulfillment center...
There's no time.
Let's face it,
we can't be in the bike parade.
No! I refuse to believe
we have no other options.
What...
What did we do
before Amazon?
Mrph rmh rmphm?
I mean, before we could get
whatever we wanted,
where did we
get stuff?
At the...
The m--
The m-m-m--
the mall.
Oh, yeah! The mall!
Rmphm!
Guess we haven't been
to the mall in a while.
♪♪
There's nobody here.
There's gotta be
somebody.
Look!
It's Wiener on a Stick.
Uh, hello?
Welcome to
Wiener on a Stick.
Are you the only one
still at the mall?
There are many...
and yet none.
There he is!
Dad!
How did it go.
They voted
to keep striking.
There was a run in --
violence between some
of the strikers and corporate.
They've decided to punish us
by taking our status.
There's no easy way
to say this,
so I'll just come out
with it then.
We're...
not Amazon Prime members
any more.
Then what are we?
Everyone involved
in the strike
has been dropped down one level
from Prime.
We're --
We're now
Amazon USDA Choice.
That's...
fine.
We'll be USDA Choice --
I-It's almost as good as Prime.
You're a good woman
for saying that.
But you're a bitch
because it's a lie
and you're patronizing me.
Mom.
If I win the first prize
in the bike parade...
I'll give the money
to you guys.
Please...
I don't know
what else to do.
My family is all
that matters to me.
I made a promise
to provide for them.
What if we never get what we're
asking for from the strike?
What if they just get others
to do all the boxing for us?
See how
the worker begins to
question his determination.
Without his
Amazon Prime status,
he fluctuates between being
and non-being.
My family has to come first.
Now...
torn between memberships,
the consumer-worker will reason
that the strike is pointless.
Prepare a bus.
We must make sure that boxers
who wish to box
have a safe way into
the fulfillment center.
I think maybe it was a bad idea
to come here, you guys.
Why have you
come to this place?
We came because...
we need stuff.
Do you seek cosmetics?
Do you need puppies?
Sample of lotion?
What?!
Why, it's lemongrass
lavender.
No!
No, no, look!
We need very specific stuff.
There's a big bike parade
on Saturday.
Oooh!
Oooh!
Bike parade!
Bike parade?
Oooh!
Bike parade!
Yeah,
and the four of us
are actually doing
a group theme.
The changing faces
of immigrants in America
as told through
bicycles.
So...
do you need shoes?
Yeah, color coded specific shoes
in four specific sizes.
Aw!
Aw!
What?
We do not
have the inventory
that online wholesalers
can provide.
This is a waste of time,
you guys.
Mrph rmh rmphm.
Please!
You are the only customers
we've had the pleasure
of assisting
since the fulfillment
center opened!
H-Hold on a minute.
You all stay here
'cause you want to work?
It is...
our purpose.
Our purpose...
Our purpose...
Our purpose...
Wait a minute.
You guys...
I think I have an idea.
Reporter: A bus with employees
wishing to return to work
is about to arrive here
at the fulfillment center
and the strikers
are not happy!
Also, dozens of Amazon customers
have shown up --
angry customers who wish
to be fulfilled.
The customers say the boxers
need to return to work
because the shut down is
hurting everyone.
I have a weed business
to run!
I need my shit from Amazon
to make it all work!
At what cost, sir?!
Do you care that
personal worth
is being reduced by capitalists
to exchange value?!
Oh, yeah. That's typical
rhetoric from a Marxist box.
Free trade
is not free-dom!
Perhaps socialism
is the answer!
If you pay for shipping,
can you go anywhere you want?
Here comes the bus!
Scabs! Scabs!
Hey!
It's Stotch!
Ya can't do it, Stotch!
Ya damn us all!
Don't you understand,
it's not about me!
It's my son!
If those orders get fulfilled,
then we got nothin'!
He's just a kid!
He wants to be
in the bike parade!
My son's in the bike parade,
too!
He's got...
little tassels
off the back of his seat.
Tiny flags stickin' out
the handle bars.
But he deserves
more, Stotch!
If we don't make our stand now,
he doesn't have a chance.
He'll get fookin'
third or fourth place
or just a fookin'
participation ribbon!
I'm sorry.
Stotch!!
It is...
not as I expected.
Only one consumer-worker
broke through the picket lines.
Your townspeople
are more stubborn
than I thought.
They're prideful people,
yes.
Perhaps
I should give up.
How I long to return to Bezos
and touch butts with my wife.
Amazon Fulfillment Center.
Uh, yeah, hi.
We ordered a bunch of stuff,
and we haven't gotten it.
Yes! Yes, the workers
are striking.
We're working on it!
No, that's actually why
we're calling.
We know a whole bunch of people
who can come work for you.
♪♪
Is that so?
Now those fools will pay!
What fools will pay?
Oh, no, sorry, um...
You say you have
worker-consumers
willing to box?
Yeah, but listen --
We want our stuff.
We ordered a bunch of shit
for the bike parade
and if we get you
workers,
we want them to deliver
our stuff first.
Very well.
Stay right where you are.
You didn't tell me
there was a bike parade.
I didn't think
it was relevant.
Everything is relevant
when it comes to customers.
Voice: The history
of this world...
is the history
of class struggles.
Alienated from the products
of their labor...
from their fellow laborers,
and from their very essence,
the oppressed worker will
eventually strike back
at those capitalists
who control the means
of production.
We have nothing to lose
but our chains.
We will unite in revolution.
And if others try to break
through the picket line?
Nothing else can be allowed
into the fulfillment center --
No matter what the cost.
We're ready to
follow you, Josh.
Then follow me to hell.
