Miss Nobody Page #8

( gasps )

It turns out she was right

About mr. Ketchum having

a secret stash.

Her thrift shop days

were over.

Whoo! Whoo!

And in a surprising twist,

a change of management

Not precipitated

by my gentle touch,

Mr. Everwright

just plain old retired,

And the board rewarded

mr. Ormsby for years of--

Well, just for years.

And I inherited

Not only ormsby's

plum marketing job,

But also his

very cool corner office.

Are you taking

a smoke break out there?

Let's go.

Thank you.

You know, I'm not loving that.

Not loving it.

Let's try it back over

on the other side.

That's what you guys get for

slacking, you know what I mean?

Things were perfect.

That's good.

That's good.

You guys like the dog here?

But then...

I do.

Bill called.

You know, sarah jane,

I've been thinkin'.

Yeah, bill?

What about?

About that ring

you gave me.

I feel like I've, uh,

seen it somewhere before.

Really.

In the, uh, store window

next to this one.

( gasps ) oh!

( laughing )

Come here, kid.

St. George, patron saint

of chivalry

And major dragon slayer,

had come through for me again.

I was a successful executive,

And I had my knight

in shining armor,

But not without a price.

So, I tried to compensate

where I could,

Atone for my sins.

Oh, hey!

Hey hey hey hey!

Coffee's ready and, uh,

you have three calls.

Good morning,

by the way.

Later.

And, l.J., just water.

I decided to recommend

l.J. Feffer for a promotion

To give him the opportunity

I'd had,

But without

all the dirty deeds.

It was the least I could do

for st. George.

Dear mr. Ormsby...

My time

at judge pharmaceuticals

Has been the most rewarding

experience of my life.

This company has offered me

the unexpected opportunity

To work my way up

the corporate ladder.

On that note, I would like

to recommend a bright young man

For our new entry-level

executive position,

My assistant, l.J. Feffer.

Thank you.

Ooh.

Mm!

L.J.

Yeah?

I wanted to say that I think

you're doing a terrific job.

( chuckles )

Oh, the, uh--

You were out

of water bottles,

So... I just stole

One of ormsby's

from the kitchen.

Forward thinking.

I like that.

Though at first glance,

L.J. Might seem more

expendable...

Hey, l.J.!

Yeah?

"expendable." does that have

an "a" in it, or an "I"?

Um... Hold on.

Just looking

it up.

"expendable. Used up

or consumed in service."

Uh, e-x-p-e-n-d-a-b-l-e.

Okay. Oh, oh, wait.

Hold on.

Wait a second.

What was that again?

E-x.

E-x.

P-e.

P--

"x."

L.J.?

Yeah.

That water that you got

from mr. Ormsby's water jug.

It didn't, by chance, have

an "x" marked on the top?

Would I do things differently,

knowing what I know now?

Would st. George

not have killed the dragon?

I'd never be a saint,

But we can't start over.

There is no past.

There is no future.

We only have now.

The rest, like mom

always said, is karma.

We get what we deserve.
