for all levels of system management.

"Candidates must perform

data updates, malfunction isolation,

monitoring

of cluster performance."

"Performance." I can do that.

- You can?

- Sure.

- Hey, great. They use H.P. 3000s.

- You understand all that?

Well, it's It's an old system,

but, you know--

- Where do we go?

- Um, "Apply in person,

MacMillan Toys."

All right. Let's go.

Miss? Miss?

Miss?

Miss?

You look good.

MacMillan Toys!

There it is!

MacMillan Toys.

May I help you?

I'll connect you.

Are these

the applications?

Yes. Just have a seat.

I'll call your name.

What's next?

There.

Previous employment.

Your paper route.

I don't think I can put that.

Neighborhood

circulation director?

Yeah!

Yes. Hold on just a moment, please.

What's he got?

Hey, don't worry about it.

Um, Social Security number?

What is that?

It's my locker combination.

Great.

Mr. Baskin?

Mr. Baskin?

Y-Yes. Yes.

The personnel director

will see you now.

Uh, your son can wait out here.

Yeah, okay.

Son, you should sit down.

And don't give the lady

any trouble now.

Sure, Dad.

This way.

Don't forget--

look him in the eye!

There's a couple

of numbers missing

on your Social Security.

Oh. Oh, 12.

- It says here you've got

four years' experience.

- Yes.

All on computers.

Yes.

Where did you go to school?

It was-- It was called

George Washington.

Oh, G.W. My brother-in-law

got his doctorate there.

- Did you pledge?

- Yes, every morning.

It happened again.

David, the girl is

absolutely useless.

You have got to give me

someone who knows what

she is doing. Excuse me.

I'm not getting any of my mail.

Nothing has been filed.

Ever since she got engaged,

my life has been a disaster.

Well, you know, she came

so highly recommended.

She spent the last three months

writing down her married name.

Mrs. Judy Hicks.

Mrs. Donald Hicks.

Mrs. Judy Mitchellson Hicks.

Sometimes with a hyphen,

sometimes without a hyphen.

Sometimes she spells

the hyphen.

Well, I really don't know

where I can put her.

Put her on unemployment.

- When can you start?

- Soon.

MacMillan Toys. I'll transfer.

Brent.

Susan.

Where's Mildred?

She's out sick.

Again.

And it's easy to clean.

That's very important,

that you're easy to clean.

Open that one.

What's so--

What's the joke?

Is it a small?

Oh, Miss Lawrence.

See, when she opens

her shower presents,

everything she says

she'll say on her wedding night,

only she doesn't know it.

So, when we read

the list to her--

Who's answering my phone?

Oh, it's pink.

Oh. I'll get it.

Oh, I needed towels.

Thank you very much.

Paul Davenport's office.

Can I help you?

Susan Lawrence.

Is he in?

Of course.

Thank you.

Susan.

Paul.

If I don't have a man tonight,

I'm absolutely going--

Mr. MacMillan's on line two.

Yeah, I'll hold.

An automatic switch-on--

These are the preliminary voice

runs on Princess Gwendolyn.

All comments should

be directed to Jack Taylor

no later than Thursday.

One day, I'll find my prince.

Alternate version number one:

One day, my prince will come.

Alternate version number two:

I want you to steal all the money

from Mummy's purse...

and buy all my accessories.

The more you buy me,

the more I'll love you.

Just kidding, Susan.

Tra-la. Tra-la.

I thought we'd start you

off on last week's

preschool orders.

It should take a few days.

Give you a chance

to find your way around.

Do you smoke?

Well, just that once, but

Only on breaks,

and in the coffee room.

Most of that's pretty

straightforward stuff.

You have any questions,

come to me. Good luck.

Bye.

The Dinky Link.

Seven.

Jimmy's Toy Box.

Psst.

Squirmy Hermie.

Psst!

Hey. Psst. Hey.

I'm Scott Brennen.

Uh, I-I'm Josh Baskin.

Listen,

what are you trying to do,

get us all fired?

Huh?

Gotta slow down.

Pace yourself.

- Slowly. Slowly. Slow.

- Sorry.

- Today's my first day.

- I know.

So, how long

have you worked here?

Five years.

Work stinks,

but the fringe benefits are great.

See that girl over there

in the red?

Say hi to her,

and she's yours.

She'll wrap her legs

around you so tight,

you'll be begging for mercy.

Well, I'll stay away

from her then.

Excuse me.

Yeah. Brennen.

I gave it to you yesterday.

Oh, here it is.

I don't have time to xerox it.

Let the new guy do it.

Yeah. It--

We still-- We haven't

shipped it out yet.

You gotta be quiet.

People are tryin' to work here.

Hey, wait!

They can't think.

We're gonna go in the other room

and see some toys. Come on.

Come on, you guys.

Stay together.

Come on, guys.

Trouble.

We're pregnant?

Huggy Bear took a nosedive.

That's not possible.

Look at these figures, Paul.

Third-quarter profits off 40%.

Pre-orders down 55.

I'm not talking about one toy.

I'm talking about the whole goddamn line:

Huggy Bear Mama,

Huggy Bear Papa.

Goddamn Baby's off 60%.

You must feel awful.

I must feel awful?

You must.

Paul, uh--

Paul, I-- I think we

must feel awful.

Well, yeah. I feel bad too.

This whole line was your idea.

I think that if you just march right in

and talk with MacMillan--

It's not my fault.

Honey, are we trying to fix this thing

or are we tryin' to place blame?

If it'll make you feel better, I'll go

in there with you while you talk to him.

Thank you.

Yeah.

I taught him

everything he knows.

Mm-hmm. Right up.

Hi, this is Matthew

with MacMillan Toys.

Yeah, well, I live

right over by the river.

And I just need

to confirm your address.

You ever seen Brooklyn

by dawn?

Hey, hey. Does it sound

like I'm beggin'? I am.

Hello?

Uh

Hello?

Hello.

Mrs. Baskin?

Yes?

How are you?

Who is this?

I just wanted you

to know that, uh,

Josh is all right,

and he's okay and everything.

You have my boy?

Yeah, and y-you're gonna

get him back just the way he was.

Look, I swear to God,

if you do anything to him,

if you touch one hair

on his head,

I will spend the rest of my life

making sure you suffer.

Wow. Thanks.

Let me talk to Josh.

Oh, he can't come

to the phone right now.

Why not? Why not?

What did you do to him?

I didn't do anything to him.

I think he's a terrific kid.

I want proof that he's all right.

Uh, all right.

Um, a-ask me something

th-that-- that only he would know.

Then I'll ask him for you,

and that way you'll know

that he's okay.

Ask him what I used to sing to him

when he was a little boy.

Isn't there something else

that you'd rather ask him?

Ask him.

I got it. I got it.

# Memories #

# Light the corner of my mind #

# Misty watercolored memories #

# Of the way we were #

# Scattered pictures ##

Oh!

Look, you're gonna

see him again really soon.

I promise.

I cross my heart and hope to--

Uh, we'll talk about this later.

That's total bullshit, Paul!

But, sir,

the favorability rating--

Let's not lie to ourselves.

If a kid likes a toy, it sells.

That's all.

But every bit of research

and focus testing shows--

It worked in research.
