Freddy!

You're doing great.

Please, maintain composure.

Hi. Hi. Oh, gosh.

I'm... I'm so glad you're here.

Do you happen to speak Norwegian?

No, I, I don't.

And apparently you don't either.

Do you have any idea what you just

said to these gentlemen?

- She is insult our Norwegian womens.

- She is a stinking fish.

- Jackass.

- Jackass.

No, no, no.

No, no, I, that's not what I meant.

- Help me?

- I'm... I'm sorry. I'm out of ideas.

Maybe we can take them out for a beer.

Beer?

Here you go.

I wonder if it's okay that they're doing that.

Oh, here she comes.

Oh, here she comes.

Hey. What's Norwegian for a job well done?

Forget it. They signed the deal

and an option for four more years.

Congratulations, Miss Gregerstitch.

Mr. Connelly's office.

Oh, for crying out loud.

I'll send it right over.

Katie! Katie!

I can't find the Quackenbush file.

And Mr. Driftwood is coming at 3:00.

Stupid. Oh, thanks.

I guess it was in front of me the whole time.

We're in a hurry.

Look out, blondie. I saw it first.

I'm all set, Mr. Schwartzman.

The man doesn't want a pig in a blanket.

Would you give the man a pig in a blanket?

I love these things.

We'll take them in with us.

What our motto is here,

a pig in every blanket.

Mr. Connelly's office.

Pardon me, miss. Hey!

Sorry.

Thank you for lunch, Mr. Connelly.

It was so good.

You're welcome, Katie, but you deserved it.

You're doing great.

- Cheers.

- You all right?

It's this deal I've been working on.

There's so much riding on it, like my job.

But I can't tell you anything about it.

It's the most highly guarded secret

in the company. No one knows.

The Marina project?

Oh. You mentioned it in your office, sir.

- I didn't know it was a secret.

- Didn't know it was a secret?

Well, I guess it's not.

See, the thing is I'm stumped on it.

- I could really use a friendly ear.

- You can trust me.

- The key to this Marina deal is the boulder.

- Boulder?

Yeah, it's actually a rock formation.

But it's very complicated.

That's why I'm glad you're in on this.

I'll explain it later.

All right.

Katie?

You are never gonna believe

what just happened.

What is it now?

Mr. Connelly just asked me to be

a part of the Marina project.

Oh. That is fantastic news.

I have a lot of ideas. But I'm having

a bit of a problem with the rock formation.

And I have a meeting with the investors

in two days.

Well, guess what?

It just so happens that marine geology

is somewhat of a hobby of mine.

So how about I have a look-see

at that file here

and we can come up with

a brainstorming session.

Oh, I don't think I'm supposed to show

anybody.

I'm just gonna take a little peek at it tonight,

and give it back to you first thing

in the morning. Okay?

Okay. Thank you so much.

Well, it is my pleasure.

Hey, Katie. It's me, Ben.

I was in the neighborhood

and I thought maybe I'd swing by and...

Something a little more cool.

I noticed you staring at me at the office.

Heard you have a thing for guys

who work in the mailroom.

Waldo was busy so I thought...

Just try and be cool, okay?

I hope she's home.

Ben?

- Wanna come in?

- Yeah, that'd be great. Thanks.

So how do you feel?

Wow. That was incredible.

So was that your first time

having a New York slice?

Yep.

- Can I ask you something?

- Shoot.

I was just wondering

if I could unbutton my pants.

I'm... I'm about to burst.

I think that's a great idea.

I'm gonna join you.

- Yeah. Let's synchronize.

- Okay.

- On three. One, two, three.

- Three.

- Wow.

- Wow.

- Oh, man.

- That is so much better.

That was a great idea.

I thought I was gonna have to go home.

Oh, my God. I love this song!

I love this song. I love this song.

You...

Your... Your underwear is showing there.

Oh. Oh, I'm sorry.

All right. The Lord certainly works

in mysterious ways, doesn't he?

- All right, let's dance.

- Oh, no. I don't dance. But thank you.

- Oh, yes, you do.

- No, I really don't.

- You do tonight.

- I have an old high school football injury.

- I tore my rotator cuff and my knee.

- Come on, dance for me.

- I really, I...

- Please, please. It's my favorite song.

- I really don't.

- It's my favorite song.

- Okay.

- All right.

Fingers right here in your belt loops.

Step back, step, touch.

- One, two, three, step.

- Okay.

- One, two, three, step.

- One, two, three, step.

- Okay, do it back this way.

- Oh, okay.

- Step, back, step, touch.

- Touch.

- Step back...

- Back.

...step, touch.

- Step, touch.

- I think I got it. One, two, three.

- Step back, no.

- Excuse me.

- To the right.

Come on.

- Step back, step, touch.

- Step back, step, touch.

- Step back, step, touch.

- Step back, step... This is awesome.

- Step back, step, touch.

- Step back, step, touch.

- Okay, I got it. I'm gonna go stretch out.

- No, no, no, no, no. Do it with me.

Oh. Darn song ended.

I was really starting to get the hang of it.

Should we call the station,

see if they'll replay it?

Hey, I'm sorry. I'm just...

This is a good song.

- Come on. It's much more my style.

- Really?

Yeah. Good slow dance.

Did you forget to hold the handle down

when you flushed the toilet?

That might be the most romantic thing

anyone's ever said to me.

You're only the second guy I've ever kissed.

- Really? Where do I rank?

- Definitely top two.

That's awesome.

I've always been an over-achiever.

Surprise.

Pap Paw!

- What are you doing here?

- Well, I was worried about you.

I didn't hear from you so I drove up.

- You drove?

- Who's this?

- My name's Ben.

- Ben, the plumber. Ben is the plumber.

See the toilet exploded? Yeah.

So Ben came over to do the plumbing.

Go plumb, plumber.

Here, let me take that for you, Pap Paw.

So, how is my future grandson-in-law?

Great.

Pardon me, I don't mean to interrupt.

Excuse me.

- But you were engaged?

- Am engaged.

I am engaged.

Never mentioned that to me.

She... She never mentioned that.

Well, why would she? Nosy plumber.

Let's go out on the town. You know what?

I haven't eaten a thing all day,

and I'm starving.

- Great idea.

- All right.

I'm gonna get going myself. I'm gonna go

grab some more plumbing tools.

Great to meet you.

The worst damn plumber

I think I've ever seen.

I think I'm gonna go fire him.

You wait right here, okay?

All right, I'll be right back. Just stay here.

Ben, wait.

- What was that all about?

- I'm sorry.

I just...

I haven't had the heart to tell Pap Paw

that Billy dumped me yet.

Can't you understand?

Oh. I'll go call you a real plumber.

It was...

It was nice to meet your grandfather.

Thanks for the dance.

- Hey.

- Hey.

- So, where's Billy?

- Oh, Billy?

Billy got this really big modeling job,

so he's out of town.

Oh. Yeah. Well, where?

Timbuktu.

- Timbuktu.

- Yeah, Billy's in Timbuktu.

Hey, all right. Did you fire the plumber?

The plumber's gone. Yeah.

Freddy?

- Where is everybody?

- Why, Katie, didn't you get the memo?
