and ties of tradition
to our firm through some...
of the more prominent
fraternal organizations on campus.
Because we regard the junior analyst
position not as a stopping point,
but as a stepping stone to greatness.
[Video Clicks Off]
Now, class, I would like for you
to extend a very warm welcome
to my old friend,
Mr. Randall Tyson
of Smythe-Bates Brokers.
- Randall?
Good to see you.
Uh, well, this old room holds
many memories for me.
of nap time in that back row.
- [Darryl Laughs Loudly]
I sincerely wish that we had a place
for all of you,
but that's not the case.
Five of you will be chosen,
and out of the five finalists,
the student who most closely resembles
the ideal employee...
will be chosen for the position
of junior analyst at Smythe-Bates.
Good luck to all of you.
All right, class, in the case study
that we were examining last week...
Now, the markets are up,
but consumer spending...
and corporate profit margins are down.
- Now, how would the social
planner remedy this, huh?
- [Darryl] Ooh!
- [Boy] Sir?
- What?
- This increases profit,
and the resulting price cuts...
stimulate consumer spending.
- Yo, difference of opinion here.
- Uh, Mr. Witherspoon...
and we can do without the yo-ing...
What he's sayin' is
let's help people by firing them.
Now, this seems to me,
ebonically speaking, whack.
Perhaps Darryl does have
a special insight into the blue collar,
or, should I say,
hairnet mentality.
Oh!
[Laughs]
Look...
Wicks Morton Industrials, okay?
their profit margins,
what they did was they offered
employee contracts with wage givebacks.
And guess what. Their employees
spent 50 percent more
than they did the previous year.
Now, what that proves is what the
average Joe on the street already knows.
The more money they have,
the more money they can spend.
He's absolutely right. Wicks Morton did
do the right thing by their employees.
But then again, instead of
laying off workers, they took
out a $20 million loan...
from a certain bank here in Manhattan,
and from what I hear,
- From your dad?
- They're on the verge of defaulting.
So what happens to your average
workin' Joe when Wicks Morton goes down?
I don't think they're gonna end up
in the checkout line.
the unemployment line.
And the president of the company
is gonna be right there with them.
Ebonically speaking,
you don't know sh*t.
Dare I say,
you're out of your league.
Darryl, although carrying water
is technically an aerobic activity,
- it does not qualify you
to play college-level hockey.
- [Sticks Clattering]
Coach, please. Look, I need this time.
Please, Coach.
Look, I'm just a brother from the hood
with a simple dream to play hockey.
Don't make me turn
to drugs or gangs...
- [Grunting]
- LaFlour!
- He's on your team.
- Just following through, Coach!
- Yeah. Sure, Tim.
- [Grunts]
- Hey, Tim.
When was the last time
you had sex?
- Why?
- You're just a little jumpy,
that's all.
- [Neck Cracking]
- Hey, can you do me a favor?
Can you please talk to the coach and try
and get me some time on the ice?
I need a sport, or I'm not gonna get
the Smythe-Bates job.
Please. I need it
for my family, man.
Right, yeah,
I'll talk to Coach for ya, eh?
Thanks, Tim.
Uh, these things
are too tight!
[Grunts]
[Player #1] Nice shot!
[Player #2] The outside!
[Buzzer Rings]
- Come on. Come on.
- [Blows Whistle]
[High-Pitched Scream, Grunts]
Wait. Wait.
[Continues Screaming, Grunting]
- [Blows Whistle]
- [Darryl Screaming]
- [Blows Whistle]
- [Darryl] Uh, wait!
Uh, oh... Oh, my ass!
[Grunts]
[Screaming Continues]
Wait.
My sack, my sack, my sack!
[Tim] Hip-Hup-Zip-Hup!
Freshmen.
- Hey, what's up?
I got somethin' to show you, eh!
- I don't wanna see it.
No, no, no. You know how I always lose
my apartment key, right?
I always lose it.
But look... look wh...
It's new.
I call it my key to happiness.
Oh, my God. You know what you are?
You're a freak show.
- [Laughs]
- Hey, the landlord called again.
I'll get the rent.
Hey, it's all good, dog.
Listen, you may not have faith in fate.
But, my man,
fate has faith in you.
Welcome. You are here to participate
in the first round of human testing...
of Protocol 563.
You'll be the first people
to take this drug.
Federal regulations require me
to list all possible
side effects of this experiment.
Please listen carefully. This drug has
not been shown to be toxic in rats...
and should be similarly nontoxic
in human beings, theoretically.
Potential side effects
may include nausea,
insomnia, headaches,
flaking of the scalp,
intestinal cramping,
constipation, rectal burning,
rectal itching, rectal swelling...
and dizziness.
- Sir?
- [Snoring] Yes.
- Did you hear me?
- Yeah. Rectal itchin'. No problem.
- And you are willing to participate?
- It's paying, right?
[Squeaking]
This is a model of the drug
we've created here.
It is designed
to increase the senses...
far beyond levels ever experienced
Are you following this?
Yeah. What are you sayin'?
I'll be able to see better?
- Like an eagle.
- How 'bout my hearin'?
- Ultrasonic.
- Taste, smell and feelin' too?
The five senses will be magnified
ten times over.
Wow.
Supersenses.
This is the drug.
How you take it is
of the utmost importance.
You must take exactly six cc's
every single day.
And you must inject it
into the buttocks.
- These are your instructions.
- How much do I get paid?
You must also take it when your
serotonin levels are at their lowest,
just before you go to bed.
How much do I get paid?
If and when your senses
become heightened,
disorienting and disturbing.
[Inhaling Sharply]
Deep breathing may help.
- Are there any questions?
- How much do I get paid?
Um, well, since you're
the only person,
after the experiment's over,
you get $3,000.
$3,000?
- Whoo! $3,000.
- [Clears Throat]
Doctor, look, for $3,000...
you can inject me
with the Ebola virus, okay?
$3,000.
Doctor, for $3,000, I'm gonna be
your little Outbreak monkey, okay?
Hey what's with all the bongs
and the booze?
Going to a party
at Rick James' house?
No, just doin' a little winter cleaning,
purifying the apartment, eh?
Oh, that sounds fine. Me, I'm gonna
go in there, eat a little pig,
smoke a little crack,
masturbate a little bit.
- Care to join me?
- No, all I'm doing tonight is soaking...
little limp Timmy
in some rubbing alcohol.
- Oh.
was a bad idea.
Yeah, I could've told you that one.
Hey, dude, I wanted to thank you, man.
I got a little bit of time on the ice.
I think my game is improving.
