Mad Money
Honey, I need more.
This is gonna
take all night.
Want a sandwich?
Maybe later.
Okay.
Hey.
Baby, where are
the road snacks?
We gotta go.
Have you seen my guitar?
Mom?
You're having
a bad dream, baby.
No sh*t.
We're gonna have to have a
conversation about your language.
Yeah. That's clearly the biggest
problem we're having tonight.
Go back to bed.
Mom!
Now!
Whew.
Okay.
Quiet.
Quiet, Rufus.
Guess what I got for you!
Yummy, yummy! Shh!
Ooh! Look what I got ya!
Cat.
Oh! Good!
There we go.
Nice Rufus.
Good dog.
See ya later.
Attention all units.
Arrest authorized.
Move in now.
You set?
- I'm good.
I have this theory.
Crime is contagious.
It's like it can just
kinda get in the air,
and it-- People can
catch it from each other.
And when they catch it,
they change.
And then they change...
other people.
The truth is we're all
capable of anything.
We don't want to
believe it's true,
but it is.
I realized it
for the first time
Fourth of July party.
There you are!
Hi.
I knew you'd come!
Sorry I'm late.
Oh, my God.
I want you to now
I forgive you.
What for?
- Don's okay?
He's--he's great.
We're fine. We're fine.
Hey, listen, I know
you quit the club,
but if Don wants to play,
have him call me.
Oh, I--I'm sure he will,
but, you know,
interviews kind of lined up, and--
Yeah.
- Does he?
Uh-huh.
Oh, it's gonna be great.
It's gonna be great.
You're gonna be great!
Now--
- Yeah.
About the realtor.
I am okay about
Coldwell.
They're big,
it makes sense.
But I would've
cut my commission.
Mindy--
So just tell--What?
Oh, my God.
Bridget, I am so sorry.
It's not even
listed yet.
I'm sure Don was
gonna tell you.
To tell you the truth,
I got downsized.
You're selling our house?
I'm no longer
the breadwinner.
I don't bring home
the bacon.
I produce no green.
You just-- You wanna
talk about this, sweetie?
wanna talk about it?
It's over.
What is over?
- Everything.
No.
- Our lives!
Don, for God sakes!
You are going
to find that job.
It's been over a year.
I have tried everything
I know how to try,
and I have failed,
all right?
No, no, no, no!
No, you did not fail, Don.
No! I refuse
to believe that!
Those stupid multinational
corporations merged you out of a job!
So, sweetie,
you got failed on!
Really? You know, I am so
far past statistical comfort.
Look at this!
We are $286,000
in debt.
What?
- I wasn't kidding.
It's over.
Honey, why didn't you tell me?
We could have stopped.
What? Eating, driving,
living our lives?
We could live on less.
Lots of people live on less.
Absolutely. And soon,
we'll be living with them.
You know, hearing their
voices in the hallways,
smelling
their cooking.
But, hey, at least
we got our health.
Of course, we don't
have health insurance,
so if you need an X-ray,
I sell a kidney.
We'll do something.
Well, that's good, because
we're selling the box
and we're moving into
a smaller box,
and soon that box
will be so small,
it's the one they put us
in the ground with.
We'll get jobs,
any jobs, both of us,
and we're gonna make our payments
until this economy gets better, Don.
Yeah, well, good luck,
Bridget.
You've been out of
the workforce for some time.
Well, I've raised
two children
and made a home.
My daughter is
a clinical researcher
and my son is
a systems analyst,
and my husband is,
uh, well...
on the sofa right now.
Your degree is in
comparative literature.
Yes.
Sort of a slow sector
And your typing
is sub-standard.
Are you proficient on
any kind of software?
I'm good at Google.
Look, the truth is people
your age in the workforce
are generally considered...
real pains in the ass.
Are you aware that statement
is discriminatory and illegal?
See?
And you don't even
work for me.
A drug test?
What kind of drugs
would I have to take?
Hello?
How old am I?
No, I haven't worked
in a hotel.
I've enjoyed some wonderful
times at hotels.
Not yours.
As a waitress,
would--would I get benefits?
I don't think
that's funny.
Of course I understand
about outsourcing.
Yes.
Suppose I was willing
to move to India.
Selina. Hi.
What are you doing here?
- Your check bounced.
That's the third one.
Oh, God, I'm sorry.
I've cleaned your house.
You owe me the money.
Of course.
Honestly, Selina, I don't really
but as soon as we do--
and in the meantime,
if you need any kind
of references--
I want cash.
I want cash, too.
Obviously, I don't
really have any cash.
I did the work.
You owe me the money.
How about I come clean your house
for three weeks and we call it even?
My house
is already clean.
Ah!
That's yours.
Enjoy.
Okay?
Oh, God.
Don't you know how
to do anything?
We need benefits.
I know some place.
It's work like mine,
but they have benefits.
Why don't you do it?
They won't hire people
with a criminal record.
You have a criminal record?
Arson.
Long story.
Tell me about the job.
I didn't even know what the
Federal Reserve Bank does
before I came
to work here.
Well, they set
interest rates
and they hold extra cash from all
the other banks for safekeeping.
Yeah--No, I--I asked
my husband.
Now that could be your
I don't think so.
It has money in it.
Oh, we're running
And don't think
they won't notice.
Oh, they tell you
it's for security,
but meanwhile,
the guys in the ties
times a day we need a goddamn pee.
Ha! This place is like
a Las Vegas casino.
No windows,
no privacy,
and a shitload of money
all around here.
The only difference is
nobody here ever has any fun.
Okay, 12.
I'm shifting
to the east vault.
Now, keep your head
down in here.
You know what I mean?
And don't spray directly
on the monitors.
The secret here:
Don't want
anything.
Don't even think
about wanting it.
What you can
think about,
what you can want...
is your job.
I do, yes.
Yes, sir, I do.
I--I am thinking
about wanting...the job!
That's what I'm thinking
about wanting, sir.
Thank you so much
for helping me.
Whoo!
Check this out!
How you doing, Nina?
Not bad.
New girl.
Hey.
Hard to watch, huh?
Worn out.
We get the new bills
from the mint.
There goes your
car payment.
Oops! That's
a new sofa.
Get the one
by the desk there.
In.
Whoa.
Let's go!
It may not seem
like much,
but I do feel like,
in our own way,
we do something kinda
important here.
Oh.
Oh! Oh, God, no!
How's it going?
God.
Hello?
Bridget!
- Mindy.
Hi!
- There you are.
I was just thinking
about you actually.
We've got to talk.
Mindy, you know what?
I'm out to dinner
right now
Oh, sorry, I didn't
mean to interrupt.
I'll call you back.
I would love
