Extract Page #3

Codeine cough syrup.

- For what?

- It's just good.

FEMALE OPERATOR:
What listing?

Don Wilkinson or Step Wilkinson.

- One moment.

- Can I have the address, please?

I'm sorry.

I'm not showing anything for either.

There's a D. Wilkinson,

but it's unlisted.

Okay. Thank you.

So, the guys at General Mills

got wind of this whole

testicular incident

and they're worried.

If Step decides to sue us

beyond the insurance settlement,

that could be a serious liability.

How is Step doing, anyway?

Better.

I guess he might be going home today.

Oh, good.

Anyway, I guess

we don't have to worry about it.

He says he's not going to sue us.

(IMITATING STEP) Says he

wouldn't want something for nothing,

you know, and what's right is right.

He's being pretty mellow about this.

Yeah.

I think when you lose your balls,

it kind of mellows you out.

Oh, by the way,

guess who asked for a raise today?

- Who?

- Dinkus. Can you believe that?

Brian, you know,

you call everyone here dinkus.

I don't know who you're talking about.

- You know, forklift dinkus.

- Oh.

I thought you call him "boy genius."

Oh, right. Yeah.

Well, boy genius asked for a raise.

I said, "Are you kidding me?

"You almost got somebody

killed last week."

And then he tried to blame it

on dinkus over there.

You know, you really ought to learn

the employees' names.

Yeah, I was thinking about that,

but then I figured,

hey, if this deal goes through

next week, I won't have to.

It's not like I'm gonna be inviting dinkus

and boy genius over for dinner.

Oh, Joel, let me introduce you

to the new temps here.

One of them wanted to meet you.

Joel, this is Cindy.

- Hi.

- Hi.

(MOUTHING) Oh, my God.

And...

I'm sorry. I forgot your name.

- Victor.

- Victor! Right.

Hi. Joel. Welcome.

- Okay.

- BRIAN:
Mmm-hmm.

- Hey.

- Hi.

Look, I'm so sorry, but are you really

the owner of this entire place?

Yeah.

I mean, like, you...

You started it and everything?

Yeah. Yeah, pretty much.

Oh, my God. How?

Just... You really wanna hear this?

A lot of people think it's boring.

No, no. I... Really, I do. I wanna know.

I mean, did you, like,

invent extract or something?

- Kind of.

- Really?

Well, my mother used to...

My mother used to make

these root-beer cookies,

and I always noticed

that the cookie dough

tasted better

than the cookies themselves,

and I thought, "Why is that?"

And it turns out that a lot of the flavor

in the root-beer extract evaporates

when you cook it,

and so when I was in graduate school,

in chemistry,

I figured out a way

to use this synthetic derivative

of the wintergreen component,

and it just...

It doesn't evaporate as easily.

And from that, you know...

Wow.

I mean, you... You figured

all of that out, like, with your brain!

- Yeah.

- Oh, you must be really rich.

I've got a 7 Series BMW

and some pretty nice clothes.

You know so many people.

- I...

- Oh, my God. You are really popular.

(LAUGHING)

What?

It's just really cute

how your sixes look like eights.

Or is it more like your eights

look like sixes?

Which one is it?

Hey, dude.

You wanna hit some golf balls, man?

Hey, Dean. Cindy, here.

Oh, damn.

Goodness. Hi. Dean.

Entrepreneur, spiritualist, healer.

- Okay.

- Nice to meet you.

Nice to meet you.

Thank you, Mr. Reynolds.

- Thank you. Thank you.

- Welcome aboard.

We're gonna play some golf,

but maybe we could all just hang out?

- Dean?

- Dude.

Does she work here?

Yeah, she's a temp.

- She's a tramp?

- Temp!

And please don't stare at her.

Get away from the window.

I like it, Joel. I like your style.

Well, I didn't hire her.

She came over through Job 1.

They just sent her over

like everyone else.

Job 1, huh?

I got to give those guys a call, man.

I have never seen a woman

anywhere near that hot working here.

Makes sense, though, huh?

I mean, hot girls need jobs, too, right?

Do they really?

I mean, most of your temps

look like winos, man, and they're guys.

- You wanna hear something weird, too?

- Yeah.

I think that she was flirting with me.

Really?

- Could be wrong.

- No, I'm sure, man.

Dude, you could probably have any girl

out there, that's walking around,

anyone that you see right now

with the hairnet on, man,

you could probably nail.

- I don't know about that.

- I'm telling you, man,

you're the king of this whole domain.

This is your place.

You're the ruler here.

You're the king of the...

What is this sh*t

you're making out here?

It's extract,

and it's spray-dried flavoring, and...

You're the extract king, man.

And these females out here sense that,

and you can have them if you want that,

you know?

I personally wouldn't, because

they're not sexually attractive to me,

but, you know, that girl right there...

...good for you, Joel.

- MARY:
Somebody stole my purse!

What the sh*t?

My purse is stolen! It's gone! He did it!

He stole my purse! You!

You stole my purse! He did it!

- He did it! He stole my purse!

- Hey, wait, wait!

- I told you about him!

- Calm down!

Calm down one minute, will you?

I'm not gonna calm down!

I'm gonna call the cops!

Will you please time out?

I speak the language, okay? Hector.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

- You know, purse-o?

- Purse! That's right!

You stole my purse

and took my money!

- Wait a minute! Wait a minute, okay?

- He stole my purse.

Give me a break, please?

How do you know it's stolen?

I know it's stolen because it's gone,

that's how!

What does it look like?

It's a white leather

multi-colored patchwork purse

with a turquoise lining

and a cute little teddy bear in a tutu!

(SINGING) You didn't have to love me

like you did

But you did, but you did

And I thank you

You didn't have to love me like you did

But you did, but you did

And I thank you

But you took your love to someone else

I wouldn't know what it meant

to be loved to death

You made me feel like I've never felt

Kisses so good I had to holler for help

You didn't have to hold it, but you did

But you did, but you did

And I thank you

You can go ahead of me

if that's all you got.

- Really?

- Yeah, sure.

Are you sure?

That's really, really sweet of you.

Thank you.

I can't believe

I'm buying Reynold's Extract.

I mean, I work at the factory, you know?

Really? I work there, too.

Are you serious?

Yeah, I sure do.

Well, I used to, but... Yeah.

Well, I just started working there.

Yeah, I'm the fastest sorter there.

- Really?

- Yeah. Forty crates a day.

They were gonna make me

floor manager.

Well, I'm Cindy.

(DOOR CLOSES)

We don't do it anymore, you know?

It's... We just... I don't know what to do.

We're turning into one of those

brother-sister couples.

You do kind of look alike.

- No, we don't.

- Okay.

And to make things worse,

Dean, I cannot get

that Cindy girl out of my mind.

And how often am I going

to meet a girl that pretty

and that into food flavoring? It's just...

You know she practically

asked me out?
