we managed to make a few changes.

Changes? What changes?

Holy sh*t.

What is going on?

Who authorized all this?

You did, Mr. Hart. It's your signature.

Why are all these people here?

It's not even 9:
00.

This is another program you authorized.

People set their own time.

Some work 8 to 4, some work

10 to 6, some work 9 to 5.

Well, I'll put a stop to that.

Let's go, girls. Let's go.

- It's working very nicely.

- Less absenteeism. People like it.

Well, I hate it, and what I say goes.

Just keep going to my office.

- Good morning, Violet. Here it is.

- Thanks, Eric.

Here are the invoices.

But you've made them worthless.

For the last three days, he's managed

to put all that missing equipment back.

It cost me a pretty penny

to set it straight.

You've won. You've trumped our ace.

What are you gonna do?

I'm sorry, Violet. Why don't you sit?

I'm getting ready to play my last card.

I'm gonna send you b*tches to jail.

Yeah.

What?

Who's here?

Jeez, I'll be right out.

And you better tell Hart.

What?

When?

Holy sh*t!

No. No. No problem!

Okay. Right. Thanks.

- What?

- Tinsworthy's here.

Who's that?

Russell Tinsworthy, the chairman of

the board. He's here to meet with me.

All right.

Violet, you've got to stand by me!

Holy sh*t, there he is.

Here's the man himself, Mr. Tinsworthy.

Franklin Hart.

Frank Hart, I would like

to shake your hand.

And here is a small token

of my esteem.

Thanks. It's an honor meeting you.

I don't get up here often, but I keep

tabs on the situation through Perkins.

When I find a division that shows a 20%

rise in productivity over 6 weeks...

...I wanna meet the man who's

responsible.

Thank you. We all appreciate that.

You've managed to create

a very splendid environment here.

Very livable, very personal.

Well, I find it very... I don't know.

The people seem to like it.

- Keep the crew happy, can't go wrong.

- That's the idea, sir.

Mr. Tinsworthy is interested

in some of your other new programs.

- Like the job-sharing program.

- Job-sharing.

A bold concept.

How's it working out?

I think very well. Well, Violet...

I'm sorry, Mr. Tinsworthy.

I'd like you to meet Violet Newstead,

my senior supervisor.

- I'm very happy to meet you.

- I've heard wonderful things about you.

Violet is pretty much

my right arm around here.

Violet, why don't you just explain

the job-sharing situation.

It's been most effective. For instance,

Maria Delgado is a perfect example.

She shares her job with a worker

who takes over in the afternoon.

She does? I mean, she does.

Both women are happy, and we're

very pleased with their performance.

- You pulled it off, Frank.

- I like to think we did.

- Like the daycare center.

- Daycare center.

During the war, I set up daycare

centers in all the defense plants.

- Glad you brought it back.

- That's the idea.

- Violet, the daycare center...

- Would you like to see it?

Thank you. I can see why Frank

reposes such trust in you.

- Exactly.

- Thank you.

Violet...

The center has been open for two weeks.

It's very successful.

- Really?

- Yes. Our working parents love it.

Mr. Hart,

it's so good to see you again.

- Who are you?

- Don't you recognize me?

- Margaret Foster.

- The old lush?

Yes, that was me!

Thanks to the alcoholic's rehabilitation

program you started...

...those days are over!

I'll never forget those wonderful

letters of encouragement you sent.

- God bless you, Mr. Hart.

- Good to see you.

- Doesn't she look great?

- Hold this.

The cost was minimal. It's out down on

absenteeism, and we enjoyed doing it.

Well, Frank, I have to give you credit.

You've really pulled it off here.

That equal pay thing, though,

that's got to go.

It's okay as an incentive, but we don't

need to keep priming the pump.

- No, sir. I don't think so.

- I've been talking to Hinkle.

You're my kind of guy, Frank.

Creative, incisive, get the job done.

- Right, sir.

- Right.

- I want you to come and work with me.

- Excuse me?

I need a man like you, Frank.

A Brazilian operation is

just about to take off.

- Brazil, sir?

- You're gonna love it there.

You'll be doing a big favor to me...

- ...and the company.

- How could I move to Brazil?

- I mean a leave of absence. Right?

- Anything you say, R.T.

We go upstairs, and we work this out.

I want you on my team.

- I can't tell you how much I appreciate...

- Teamwork!

That's what it's about. Go where you're

most needed, when you're most needed.

- The jungle...

- I'm giving you the chance of a lifetime.

Two or three years,

you won't wanna leave.

- Two or three years?

- You'll love it down there.

- Mr. Tinsworthy...

- Hart!

Let me tell you one thing.

I ain't the kind of boy

who takes no for an answer.

Brazil?

- Did you see the look on his face?

- I almost felt sorry.

We did it! We actually pulled it off,

and we didn't panic.

- Tinsworthy loved what we did.

- Except that part about the money.

- What are we gonna do?

- We've come this far, haven't we?

- This is the beginning.

- Here's to the beginning.

- I'll drink to that.

- To the beginning!

Monsieur Hart.

Holy merde.
