Okay.

If I close the plant

for Gopher Day at noon...

...then come Monday,

you'll start shifting equipment?

Sure. You betcha.

- Yeah, okay.

Great.

Happy Gopher Day.

Is there a problem here?

You're damn right

there's a problem.

You know, Land O' Lakes

was doing just fine...

...before you greedy Munck-ees

captured it...

...and started killing off

my loyal hardworking customers.

Listen, Flo.

I'm here to do a job.

Just like I'd like you to do your job now

by taking my order, okay?

Great.

Now that that's clear,

what's the special today?

We got a Go-Back-to-Miami

Where-You-Belong special.

Oh, and Happy Gopher Day.

How lame-ass do you have to be

to fall for something as butt-stupid...

...as thinking there's a Gopher Day?

Oh, shingles.

Who invited the boss lady?

What do you want?

I thought I might buy you a beer.

It's a free country.

A proactive approach

to streamline production...

...creates a win-win situation.

Of course, it requires strategization

and advanced specialization.

Yeah.

This is really great, guys.

I'm glad we're finally dialoguing.

D- word, double shot.

Are you guys really interested

in discussing mechanization?

Hell, yeah.

I'm really sorry, guys.

I meant for that to be a D-word,

so you can all do a double shot.

Way to ruin it, Maurice.

You know, I'm in charge of this plant

whether you like it or not.

I thought this would be an opportunity

for us to bury the hatchet...

...but, instead, you just turn me

into some dumb drinking game?

Thanks a lot, a**hole.

Oh, hi there.

It's official.

The lakes froze enough to drive on.

So Stu declared it a holiday.

He did, did he?

And where can I find Stu?

Now, who invited boss lady

this time?

You miserable son of a b*tch.

Ice Day?

What, Gopher Day wasn't enough?

Well, you've underestimated who

you're messing with, Stu Kopenhafer.

You're fired.

Crap.

You can't fire Stu.

I can, and I did.

Ice Day?

Just how stupid

does everyone think I am?

What? On a scale of one to 10?

The first day of ice fishing

is a state holiday.

Fine.

I fired him for insubordination.

Hang on a second.

Stu...

He takes a little while to warm up

to folks, but he's a really good man.

Good?

Clearly, we define that differently.

But I'm just trying to help you

out here, okay?

Firing the foreman

before Thanksgiving...

...that's not gonna win you friends.

Well, I'm here to do a job,

not make friends.

Stu's fired.

Good night.

You expect me to believe

that every machine in the line...

...just broke down at the same time?

And Thanksgiving

is gonna be a white one.

We're expecting

another snowstorm...

...blowing in

sometime tomorrow afternoon.

It doesn't matter. I'm going to Miami.

That's right.

Come on.

Oh, come on.

Oh, this is not good.

Hey.

I'm in... I'm in here.

Help.

Help.

Help. I'm in here.

Thanks a lot, God.

Come on.

Okay.

- I got you.

Okay. Hey...

Watch the hands,

Mr. Touchy-Feely Hands.

Don't flatter yourself.

I'm trying to get you out of the car.

Come on.

For your information,

I do not need a man to rescue me.

All right.

- Okay.

Come on.

Let's get you home.

You know, you're not so bad

when you're unconscious.

Come on.

- Oh, yup.

I got it, I got it.

I got it.

- You okay?

I got it. I got it.

I don't need to be carried

through my door...

...by some sexy fireman man.

You already gave me

that lecture.

You think I'm sexy, huh?

What? Why would you think that?

Because you just said it.

Out loud?

Here, let me help you.

I got it.

- Hold on.

I got it.

- Let me help you, let me help you.

Don't get any ideas.

I'm not.

You okay?

I'm fine.

Fine.

You okay?

- Yeah.

I'm fine.

This will be a good chance for you

to get out and about a little more.

Hi, girls.

We've sold all your tapioca.

Oh, good.

How about that rescue?

No wonder

she's looking twitterpated.

Oh, getting saved

by a cutie patootie like that...

...no one could blame you

for getting a little crush, you know?

Crush?

Ted?

I don't think so.

Speaking of your rescue,

we made this.

You keep that in your trunk.

It's got our names and numbers

sewn in...

...so next time

you have emergency contacts.

Oh, that's... That's beautiful.

You didn't have to do that.

- Oh, we know.

But we did it anyways,

and that's what matters the most.

Just the thought of you

out in that storm.

You must have been scared

out of your mind.

Oh, I'm sure I was never

in any real danger.

You kidding?

Folks around these parts

freeze to death all the time.

Especially the stupid ones.

It's nature's way

of thinning out the herd, if you ask me.

And that Ted,

he's a handsome devil.

Now he's bending over

to lift that hose.

Oh, will you just lookie there?

You guys cannot handle that.

I don't know about that.

Hey.

- Hi.

Hey, so the other night.

I was a little drunk.

I might have said some things.

Hey, you were great out there, huh?

Here, kid, come here.

I am so proud of you.

You remember Lucy Hill?

This is Bobbie.

Hi.

What's up?

Crosscheck by the goalie. Nice.

It's great.

Blanche.

Thank you for cashing in my ticket.

Oh, no trouble at all. Oh, and listen.

Your car's all fixed up good as new.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

A little something for you.

Oh, it's money.

It's a holiday bonus.

Don't you usually get one?

Normally, we exchange gifts.

But this is nice too.

Oh, and listen.

Here's a little Merry Christmas

for you.

Oh, Blanche, you didn't have

to get me anything.

Oh, I didn't get it,

not like store-bought get it.

I made it.

Here, open it.

Thank you.

- You're welcome.

Just in case

you wanted to start scrapping.

"To Lucy. From Blanche. "

That was your first day here,

remember?

When did you take that?

Oh, that was a while ago.

You looked like you had the weight

of the world on your shoulders.

So alone.

But, you know, Lucy,

you're never really alone.

Jesus understands

what you're going through.

He's there for you.

So am I.

Hey, don't go getting all misty

on me.

Here. I got something else.

This ought to cheer you right up.

Some tapioca.

Merry Christmas.

- Merry Christmas, Blanche.

Can I have a hug?

Coming.

Thanks.

Ted is here for your meeting.

Hi.

- Hi.

Thanks.

Well, isn't this a nice way

to start out the New Year?

"Auld Lang Syne,"

resolutions and all that.

If I can get you two anything,

you two just say the word.

I got the comp analysis here.

Okay.

Before we get started.

I never had the chance

to clear the air...

...after you saved me

from the snow bank.

I said a lot of rude things,

and I handled it badly.

I think you handled it fine.

You didn't try to get out of your car.

And that's good,

because a lot of people...

...they try to walk for help,

and they end up dying that way.

You were just trying to keep warm.

Although, technically,

alcohol isn't recommended.

And the red flag, that was...

That was brilliant.

Now, I don't remember

anything rude.

Well, I don't remember
