I got him for forty-five.
No, he's right here.
What do you mean
he missed the plane?
Then who the hell
am I talking to?
Ohhh!
I'll, uh...
I'll get back to you.
I know a great,
little Italian place...
that has the best pasta
primatonis in the wor...
Excuse me a minute,
will you please?
- Lovely wife you have there.
- Dodge, James?
Mm-hmm.
James, I'm afraid we have
a little misunderstanding.
You see, I thought
you came in for the, uh...
operations manager's job.
I have you down here
as night cleanup boy.
Well, I'm a little overpaid...
for night cleanup boy,
wouldn't you say?
The truth is, James,
I can offer you $4.44 per hour.
Uh, four, four...
$4.44...
- $4.44.
- What about the benefits?
Two fifteen-minute breaks
and a half hour for lunch.
And the title is, uh,
night... cleanup boy.
Yes.
I'll take it.
Oh, and, uh...
Iose the curl.
- Thank you.
So the parrot says,
"Of course I can talk."
Can you fly?
I don't want any damn Japanese
automobile plant in this town.
It... it means jobs.
I don't need a job.
Your governor's tryin' to use
my town as a political chip.
I resent that.
There could be some specific
benefits for you personally.
Josie!
- Yeah?
- Come here.
Meet these gentlemen
from the governor's office.
Come on in here, honey.
Honey, I want
you to meet Bill, uh...
Uh, Bob. Bob Bosenbeck.
Bob.
Dave.
My pleasure, Dave.
Right. Dave Hockner.
I don't want to interrupt.
Very nice to meet both of you.
Bye.
Bye.
Josie?
Josie!
You pull another stunt
like you did today,
I'll beat the livin'
daylights outta you!
All right, out!
Out of the vehicle, ma'am.
Get out of here!
Get out of the car!
Right on time!
Everything's going as planned.
You ordered a limousine?
Of course.
My first day of work.
How's it gonna look
if my dad drives me?
A little treat
for getting the job.
It was only fifty bucks.
- Right on time, Henry.
- Yes, sir.
Henry, the sign... very wrong.
Ciao!
Hey, Jim, where you going?
Hello, boys.
Going to Paris on an F-14.
Got a peace meeting with the
vice president of Bulgaria.
Business, you know?
Then I'm going to Venice,
for a spaghetti dinner
with the princess of Austria.
A beautiful lady...
really big bones.
Remember to brush
your teeth, Melvin!
You, too, Sidney!
Adis!
Jim is so cool!
Bobby.
Got a loose tile here.
In the morning...
take care of it.
I don't need a lawsuit, okay?
I've got enough to worry about.
Who's he?
Attention, shoppers.
The store will be closing
in five minutes.
Bring all your purchases
to the front.
- Are you a slacker?
- No, uh, Presbyterian.
What did you say?
What did you say?
I'm askin' you
a simple question.
- Are you lazy?
- No, sir.
The last guy that wore that uniform was
a lazy slacker, and I fired his butt.
Uh, about the uniform,
will I be getting my own?
You work out, which I doubt,
you can have a new name patch.
Would I be able to have it laundered?
It smells a little like Darnell.
I don't think you know
who you're messin' with.
After you clean the
ladies' and mens' crappers...
and you'd better be able
to eat off those bowls...
then wax my desk.
Uh, clean what?
- Clean my coffee maker and wax my desk!
- I got it!
Sweep the aisles,
startin' with health and beauty.
Work your way over to
juniors and misses.
Ups and downs, leaving your
debris in the cross aisles.
So, I start with
health and beauty...
I just said to start
with health and beauty!
Then you do
your cross aisles.
That'll bring your
dust bin into play.
Take the debris.
Load it into the dustbin.
Take the dustbin out
to the loading dock...
and empty it into
the receptacle.
- Got that? Easy as pie.
- Yeah.
I was employed briefly
at Del Taco, and...
I don't care about your
Del Taco experience.
We've got this problem
in this store with grazers.
- You know what a grazer is?
- Is that a farm term?
It's a customer or employee
that eats off the shelves,
similar to a cow grazing
in a field of grass.
Only this isn't a field of grass,
and you're not a cow.
There's no eatin'.
You're not being paid to eat, so don't!
- Any questions?
- Not right off hand.
- I'll give it the old college try.
Don't touch me!
Well, despite our
age difference,
I think I'll enjoy
working with you.
Let's get something straight.
You ain't workin' with me.
You're working for me.
- Still, it'll be fun being around you.
- I ain't gonna be near you.
I'm gonna be home pumping the pasties
out of Colleen Jackson.
- You're not going to be here?
- Hell, no.
I'm gonna be here
by myself?
That's right. And you'd better
stay out of the ladies' undergoods.
Wait a minute!
Nobody told me I'd be here alone.
- What are you doing?
- Saving money.
Wait! Are you
turning off the lights?
In 25 seconds, you got
light in every third aisle.
When the sun comes up,
turn off all the lights.
I don't understand.
Hold on!
I don't understand.
Hold on!
I'm locking you in.
When I come back at 7:00
to open up,
I'll let you out.
- You're locking me in?
- What do you take me for, a fool?
Nobody gets keys on their
first night. Nobody!
Get to work!
- What if there's a fire?
- The fire department will come.
- I could perish!
- Ha-ha-ha. Boo!
You can't do this.
I'm locked in, alone, in the dark.
That was not a part
of my employment agreement.

Hello.
Anybody out there?
When I accepted...
the post of president,
grand poobah of Target,
realizing that
I had brought...
meaningfulness,
peace, and happiness...
into the lives of
thousands of people.
Jim Dodge, of Monroe,
top moneymaker on the tour.
His father's here today,
Bud Dodge,
and sister Penny,
a sad, sad story,
was just admitted to
University Hospital.
While trying to pop a zit,
her head mysteriously exploded.
Dad! Hi!
Do you know
what time it is?
I'm starting to think about
Christmas and gifts,
because I'm in a big store
and I'm getting gift ideas.
- Hi.
- Mom, hi!
How's it going?
I finished all
my janitor stuff.
Most of it. I've got
to save some for later.
- It's easy as hell.
- Uh, honey, it's a little late.
It is kind of late.
Sleep tight.
See you in the morning.
Love you, too.
Mr. James Dodge!
He can't be happy as
the night cleanup boy.
