Do you got me, Castro?

- I love it. Do you got me, Castro?

- Mike:
I am tired...

-( laughing )

- ...of the sexual innuendos

- and dirty looks!

- Crowd:
Yeah!

And what about the dirty

little nicknames they give us?

Boo!

Cupcake.

Sugar tits!

( Crowd shouting )

No!

Whore!

Well-- well--

- well, not any more.

- No!

No, not on my watch.

Yeah !

- Not on our watch.

- Yeah!

No, today--

today is a new day.

Today and every day

from now

until the end of time

will be known

as secretaries' day!

( Feed back whines )

Castro sucks, he's got no sack.

We all want our break room back.

Castro sucks,

he's got no sack.

We all want

our break room back.

Castro sucks,

he's got no sack.

We all want

our break room back.

Castro wants to talk.

Oh, yeah? Can't Castro

come out here himself?

He's a little scared

- of them.

- ( crowd laughs )

And, frankly, so am I.

That's why I brought backup.

- And they're packing heat.

- They're packing mace.

Hey, that sh*t'll burn your

eyes out, Murphy.

Don't you forget it.

So back off.

Take it easy, Dirty Harry.

Tell Castro we're coming in.

Yeah.

- ( laughter )

- I'm all right.

P*ssy!

( Cheering )

We all want

our break room back.

Castro sucks, he's got no sack.

We all--

Kline:
"The Art of War"

by Ken Castro. Mm-hmm.

I wouldn't want to be

in their shoes right now.

Hold on, hold on, hold on.

Mike-- always there to save

Rodney's neck.

I don't even--

- Men:
Whoa!

- O'Donnell:
Oh, my God.

Castrate Castro.

Castrate Castro.

Castrate Castro.

Castrate--

We did it!

We got a union!

Whoo!

Mr. Rodney McAdams,

get your can up here.

- Up here now. Come on, Rodney.

- No, no, I don't sing. I don't sing.

- Get up here. Get up here.

- No, no, no.

- Hey, let's go.

- Come here. Get up here.

I want you to know,

because you helped me get

this beautiful body,

now you gotta give me

some love.

Whoo!

- Oh-ho-ho, no. No way, no.

- ( women cheering )

- Oh, no, he didn't.

- Rodney, Rodney, Rodney.

- Wearing the shot.

- All right.

Come on, come on.

Come on. Whoo!

(women cheering )

Betty:

Yes. Yes.

We were just having a little fun.

Oops.

- It was just a little titty shot.

- Betty:
I didn't even see her.

My father saw you

on TV, Rodney.

He saw you.

You're a secretary?

You told me that you got

a promotion.

Yeah, well,

I meant demotion--

demotion, not promotion.

I got caught up in the moment

at the party.

And after that weird talk

with your father, I just--

I panicked.

I just-- I panicked.

I'm sorry.

I just-- I thought I could fix it

before you found out.

Guess what, Rodney--

you didn't fix it.

I have never lied to you--

never.

Never once have I lied to you.

I can't do this.

I can't.

I'm sorry, man.

It's a bummer.

It sucks.

I know. I've been there.

No, you haven't.

You haven't been there.

Yes, I have.

I've been there.

You haven't

been there, Mike.

You've never had a girlfriend

for more than six months.

Oh, come on.

Dude, what about--

what about the chick from,

you know, Sweater Puppies?

- Katie Olsen?

- Katie. Katie Olsen.

Like, she dumped me

senior year.

Senior year?

Are you f***ing kidding me?

- What?

- My marriage just f***ing fell apart

before it even started, and you're

talking about senior year?

- How's that even close?

- Well, I know how you're feeling.

That deep pit in your stomach,

how that feels--

I know how that feels.

See, you're feeling--

- I've been there.

- Stop, please.

- Where are you going?

- Uh, I don't know.

I'm gonna go try and find

a place to live,

because my fiance--

well, actually, scratch that--

my ex-fiance kicked me out

of the f***ing house.

( Pop music playing on radio )

( music stops )

- Hey, Castro.

- Hey.

- Ken.

- Rodney.

Oh, you're looking

really good there.

Listen,

I really want my job back.

- Oh, yeah?

- Yeah. And Mike's, too.

I mean, enough of this

demoted stuff, okay?

We get it.

We totally get it, all right?

You win.

You're the boss.

Look, I'll do anything

you want, okay?

I'll give you the commission

on all my sales.

Rodney, you don't get it.

There is no

getting back your job.

In fact, in two weeks,

you're not even gonna have one.

What are you talking about?

Oh, yeah, because of

that little stunt you pulled--

secretaries' union-- I have to get back

in corporate's good graces.

The easiest way to do that-- agree

to lay off some of the sales division.

Boom! You and your little band

of secretaries--

first to go.

Bye-bye.

Do you want to talk

about it?

He's gonna fire us, Jane--

all of us.

Doesn't that just figure?

Castro screws up

and we lose our jobs.

Yeah.

This is every memo,

every note,

every email,

every letter and contract

pertaining to

the Reilly account.

This was Farrell's baby.

This is the biggest account

in the country.

( Exhales )

Jane, you're taking a big risk.

My girls are my life.

If this can help save

theirjobs, I'm in.

( Ken whispers )

Oh, yeah.

Oh, hello there.

What's your name?

Qh. yeah?

That's-- that's my name too.

( chuckles )

Ken Castro likes what he sees.

- Ken, Ken.

- Oh, hey, hey. God damn it.

Were you just looking

at a picture of yourself?

( Stuttering )

'Cause, yeah,

I'm scrapbooking for--

taking an online

scrapbooking course.

Well, listen, listen, I just got off the

phone with McPherson at Reilly Auto.

It seems Murphy, McAdams

and our girl Jane

just went into a private meeting

with Mr. Reilly.

- What the hell are they doing?

- I don't know.

We've got to get over there.

Whoa.

Get off me.

Get off.

I'm fine.

Kline, thank you.

Are broken-- stupid--

yeah, that's-- that's great.

Now our earnings models also show

that our overall value

is expected to rise by the third quarter

of next year.

Which, of course, will lower costs

for our bigger suppliers.

I like the sound of that.

Jane:
You can see that

clearly graphed out

here and here.

Yeah, and with this

shaky economy,

having our affordable tires

on your shelves

not only is good for your customers,

but it's great for your business.

Ken:

All right.

( Tires screech )

- GO, 90, 9, 9, go'

- I'm going.

It's that orange thing. Go.

- Go.

- That's ridiculous.

Hey, Ken, Ken, Ken,

don't forget to validate.

Thank you.

- I'm Ken Castro for Mr. Reilly.

- You can't go in there.

Mr. Reilly, don't listen

to a word they say.

Kenny, I didn't think we had

a meeting scheduled for today.

It's Ken, damn it.

My f***ing name is Ken.

Well, Ken, it seems that Treadline

tires will be in my stores after all,

thanks to your

coworkers here.

They did a hell of a job

and, from what I understand,

may have saved a few jobs

in the process.

What--? No, you didn't make

a deal with them.

Yes, I did.

But they're not--

you can't--

Ah, see, Kenny?

We did what apparently

you couldn't.

We closed the deal.
