Extract

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

Yeah. Are you familiar with 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... That's really sweet.

Yeah, my sisters and I are all chipping in, so...

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

Excuse me, I just have a quick question about...

So, what kind of music does your dad play?

Um...

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

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? - Yeah.

I don't really know what that is, either.

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

Yeah, I play fusion, too, actually.

I teach kids. I work with kids.

- Really? - Yeah, I work with a lot of kids.

One quick...

You should come check our band out.

- Oh, for Christ's sake. - Okay. Sure. That's awesome.

Yeah. So what do you think?

Well, do you guys maybe have it in other colors?

Color? You mean finishes.

Meant finishes. - Yeah, sorry.

We have a sunburst. It's beautiful.

Yeah, I just stocked one of those in the back. I can go grab it.

- No, I can pick it up. - You want to see it?

- No, I'll get it. It comes with a case. - I'll get it.

- I'm going to get the case. Yeah, okay. Thank you.

I'm gonna get... I'm gonna grab the case.

(CHUCKLING) Awesome.

Well, I said, friend

Don't take her, she's all I've got

Please don't take her love away from me

I'm beggin' you, friend

Don't take her, she's all I've got

Oh, shit!

She's everything in life I'll ever need

She is life

When I want to live

She's everything to me in life that life can give

She's my water

That's not really my thing.

When I need a drink

She's the first thought in my mind

- Hey, Step. - Hi there, Joel.

- Mary. - Hello, Joel.

Let me tell you now, friend

Don't take her, she's all I've got

Please don't take her love away from me

I'm beggin' you, friend

Don't take her, she's all I've got

She's everything in life I'm ever gonna need

She's my fingers

When I want to feel

She's the only thing in life to me that's really real

Let me tell you now, friend

Don't take her, she's all I've got

Please don't take her love away from me

I'm beggin' you, friend

You know, I don't know what to...

- They come in and... - That's right. They're doing...

She's everything in life I'm ever gonna need

You should come by tonight.

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

Well, you always give me free drinks, though.

I know. You should come by.

Might as well. There's no action going 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, did you get this job through Job 1?

Me, too.

I 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 at the end of this year.

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

That new guy? He's holding us up.

It's not my job to tell him 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 do you listen to? Rock?

Yeah. Yeah. You'll like this.

Ladies are free, so bring some chicks, okay?

Typical, typical.

I'm just going to sit here.

You're not going to shut it off?

I'm not going to hold the line.

If they're not going to do their jobs, I'm not going to 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 doing? - What are you doing?

What is he doing? That's what I want to know.

- Yeah? Why you ganging up on us? - 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!

What is the problem? Let's settle down.

Mary.

Hector's new here, okay?

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

Step, listen. This is something you're gonna have to deal with

if you want to be floor manager, you got that?

Exactly.

Great. Well, let's clean all this up, okay, 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, you know?

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 want to learn how.

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

Yeah, right. Band.

I bet you dollars to donuts 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 timesheets correctly,

I will give her more personal days.

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

I better get out of here.

Got to beat that 8:00 sweatpant-deadline thing.

Oh, shit. Do not notice me.

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

God damn it! Hey.

Hey, Joel. Glad I caught you. How have you been?

I'm in such a hurry right now, Nathan.

Yeah? You've 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 17th?

On the 17th? Um...

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

Oh, yeah? Where you going?

- 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 something that we're gonna want to do.

- Really? - Yeah.

Why not? It's a lot of fun.

I don't know.

Suzie doesn't like going 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 just a real loose bunch.

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 talking.

- I can almost hear it... - We're gonna talk about this later.

Got to 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. Yup.

Hey, where you guys going, anyway?

We're going on vacation.

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

I gotta go.

All right, then.

I appreciate it, Nathan. Thank you so much.

You do your thing.

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.
