But the thing is,

I don't want to work at GemCo.

GemCo sucks, man.

They make you do calisthenics. Yeah.

That's right.

We could work at Southwest Airlines.

But I don't want to work

at Southwest, either.

They make you do the limbo.

That is messed up.

Yeah, I would be the laughingstock

of the grindcore community.

If we quit, this place couldn't run.

They wouldn't be able to sell this place

for anything.

Well, that's why what we should do is,

is we should all go on strike,

demand stock in the company

before it sells.

If General Mills knew

that we were on strike,

they would not buy this place

until that strike was over.

See, that way, Joel and Brian

would have to give us stock.

Yeah. We should do it.

We should strike.

That's what I've been saying

this whole time.

We've gone through everything,

and the only way we would even

consider a settlement

would be to the tune of the number

you see on the bottom of Page 18.

Does everyone have this?

What?

We don't have this kind of money,

not even close.

Not in cash, you don't. Of course not.

But if you were to sell off your assets,

the property lease, the equipment...

Are you... Are you shitting me?

This would bankrupt us.

This is what I've been trying

to tell you about, Joel.

If you think that I'm just going to give up

this entire company

that I've built from the ground up...

How about what my client gave up?

His testicles! How about that?

In fact, I'll make a deal with you.

We will drop this case right now

if you come over here

and put your testicles right here

and let me slam this door like this!

Go ahead. We can settle this right now.

Call it even.

I will drop this case right now

if you let me slam your balls

in this door,

because that's what happened

to my client!

Yep. Those are definitely the guys

from General Mills.

Now, you see that? That is

a negotiation going on right there.

That is definitely

what that looks like to me.

What are we going to do?

I got car payments.

They're going to take away my Geo.

They've done it before.

We got to act fast.

They could be about to close the deal.

Yeah, and leave us out in the cold.

(SPEAKING SPANISH)

Are we going to lose our jobs?

We very well could, Hector.

We need to do one of those walkouts.

That's what we need to do.

All right. Who's in? We need a show

of force. Come on! It's now or never!

Come on, people.

Let's go! Come on! Let's do this! Yeah!

MAN:
Let's go.

WOMAN:
Let's do it.

(MUMBLES IN SPANISH)

I will gladly come down on that price

if you go over there right now

and slam your testicles in that door...

I don't want to slam my testicles in

the door. I want you to be reasonable.

- You won't even budge one penny?

- Like I said, if you slam your...

I'll slam your balls in that door!

I'm sorry. Did you just threaten me?

- Why don't you give it a rest?

- We need to cool off for just a minute.

We'll be right back.

I don't need this. I'm going home.

Yeah, what?

What?

Um, what's up, Joel?

Basically, we were...

We were thinking...

We were just thinking...

Well, Rory had initially pointed out

that you guys are doing this deal

with General Mills,

and we just think that...

Well, we were considering the idea...

We think that maybe

we should get a piece of it.

And, you know,

so what we decided is...

What everybody has decided is

that if we don't,

then what we're gonna do is,

we're gonna...

Hang on. You want a piece? Right?

- Yeah.

- Yeah, if we could.

How about the whole

goddamn company?

- Sure.

- JOEL:
You got it!

Everybody gets the whole place!

You guys run it, okay?

Everybody's in charge.

As of now. In fact, you guys can pay for

the new conveyor belt and the lawsuit.

You can go meet with Adler, okay?

He might slam your balls in the door,

but at least you'll be the boss. Okay?

(WHOOPS)

(DOOR CLOSES)

(EMPLOYEES MURMURING)

So, was that good, or...

(BELL RINGING)

I was going to say more,

but you interrupted me, and I...

MAN:
Our lunch buffet features

all the food you love at a great...

ANNOUNCER 1:
Vandella

will make the turn, he moves to second.

He's got himself a double.

Big turn at second.

He throws on the brakes.

He'll stay there.

ANNOUNCER 2:
Well, he just

turned on that pitch. What can we say?

I think four innings

is all Berot can handle,

and he hasn't handled

the fourth inning. With two doubles...

Listen, Joel,

I need to tell you something.

You've been really busy at the factory

for the last couple years,

and ever since

I started working at home,

it seems like, I don't know,

maybe I just wasn't feeling...

...as pretty as I used to feel, and I just...

- You banged the pool cleaner.

- What?

- Is that what you're trying to tell me?

You had sex with Brad.

- You knew?

- Yeah, I knew. I hired him.

Yeah, I know you hired him,

but how did you know that...

I didn't hire him to clean the pool.

I hired him to have sex with you.

What?

Wait... Why?

I hired him to have an affair with you,

because I wanted to have an affair

and not feel guilty,

but I was very, very drunk, and I was

on some kind of a horse tranquilizer.

Brad was getting paid?

You paid Brad this whole time?

All 15 times?

Fifteen?

- Yes.

- Jesus Christ.

Has it even been 15 days?

Unbelievable.

How can you even sit down?

Wait, you wanted to have an affair

with another woman?

Um, yes, but I didn't.

Why didn't you just talk to me about it?

I was going to, but, you know,

Dean, you know, he gave me some pill.

God, you a**hole.

- I'm the a**hole?

- Yes! I'm leaving.

Suzie, technically

I didn't even do anything.

You could've just said,

"No, thanks, just clean the pool."

None of this would've happened

if you hadn't hired him.

Hey, guys. Glad I caught you.

You guys hardly ever answer the door.

- Now's not a really good time.

- I'm leaving.

When do you think

would be a good time, you think?

I don't know. I don't know.

- See, the thing is...

- How about tomorrow?

- You want to come by tomorrow?

- Great.

- Okay?

- What time?

I don't know. Just sometime tomorrow

would be great.

Okay, great. So, if you could go and

have that check, that would be great.

- It's 110.

- Okay.

- That's two plates at $55 a plate.

- Okay, okay.

- I'm going to close this.

- Okay.

(INAUDIBLE)

- Joel?

- Hi.

Hey, what...

How did you know that I was here?

I'm actually staying here, too.

I thought I saw you, so...

Come in. Sorry.

Do you want something to drink?

I have soda.

No, thanks.

Listen, I am so sorry

about what happened with Willie.

He gets crazy.

That's why I had to move out,

so, have a seat.

- That's Mary's purse, right?

- Huh?

Right there. That's Mary's purse, right?

Uh, no, that's my bag. So, wait. How are

things at work? How is everybody?

This is Mary's purse, and you stole it.

Am I right?

Joel, that's my bag.

It probably just looks like hers.

You know,

there's a lot of them out there.

I have never seen another one.
