Donaldson's is committed to
offering the widest selection-
- You can pretty much do what you want.
- Anything?
Yeah, man.
That wasn't what I meant. Come on.
No, seriously.
If you want this whole section...

Um, no, we got a lot of room. I mean,

Um, like I said, if you need
more space on the shelves...
I can always squeeze
Hey, uh, were you a male gymnastics?
Was I a male gymnastics?

He says you were a male gymnastic
in Junior Olympics.
No. I wasn't... male gymnastics

Rotating convention,

That's great.
- It is.
- Hey, Doug. Doug Stauber!

I was just tellin' her
about this new place.
Hey, come on over and meet Christine Wehlner.
- Hey.
- Hi, I'm Jen.
Lori. Pleased to meet you.
- Hi. Doug.
- What kind of accent is that? It's really pretty.
Scotland.
We met on a mission to Scotland.
- On an army mission?
- Christian, man. Christian mission.
Oh. Okay.
Man, when I cheese postered him,
I didn't know he was a family man.
Also, he's Canadian. They're not
the same as Americans. They're nicer.
- Oh. Hey, Paul.
- Hi. How are you? Nice to see you.
- Good to see you too. It's been a while.
- You're lookin' great.
- Thank you very much.
- Hot enough for ya?
I like it like this. Opens up the pores,
makes me feel really good.
- Listen, I gotta run, but you're lookin' great.
- Okay. Thanks.
- See you later.
- You too. Say hello to the wife.
He was nice. And he actually had
a pretty good little explanation...
for stealing my Pepsi rep, Kevin.
So, yeah, I'm glad I saw ya...
'cause I w-wanted to talk
to you off to the side about Kev.
- Pepsi rep Kev?
- Yeah, about that stuff. Yeah.
Uh, when we were
puttin' up theJazz?
I wanted to tell you-
you know, off to the side- um...
I'm a drug addict- recovering-
and an alcoholic.
And, uh, Kevin's my program sponsor.
Yeah, um, sponsor.
Yeah. So, Wednesday,
I was havin' a-
Well, I just really
needed to talk to him.
- So I'm sorry if- I didn't mean to-
- Come on.
- Okay. Thanks, Doug. That's awesome.
- Oh, hey.
- No, I got it.
- It's okay.
- I got it, Doug. Get outta here.
Get on outta here.
Who else is interviewing anyway?
It's really mine, as the shoo-in.
But, uh, I think they're going to sit down
with a couple of other guys as a formality.
They don't stand a chance really.
Not with you in this suit,
they don't.
- Is that guy still standing on his balcony staring at us?
- Yeah.
That's nice.
Hey, do you mind if I listen on my
headphones? 'Cause Canadian news is on at 1:30.
That's cool.
Chapter Four.
Chances are,
you live in a metro environment...
to get ahead.
Millions. So how do you separate yourself
from the guy next to you...
who may be younger
and also wants what you want?
Through the quality of your work,
by flying higher.
This chapter's entitled,
"Taking Off. "
Let's let this classic rock song
remind you what direction-
Richard Wehlner-
is headed:
Up.Let's rock!
# Ticktock, tick, doo, doo, doo-doo #
#Ticktock, tick
Doo, doo, doo-doo #
#Time keeps on slippin'
slippin', slippin' #
# Into the future #
#Time keeps on slippin'
slippin', slippin' #
- #Into the future-#
- Richard Wehlner-
- # I wanna fly like an eagle-#
- Richard Wehlner-
#To the sea #
# Fly like an eagle
# I want to fly like an eagle-#
- Richard Wehlner-
- #Till I'm free ##
Our grocery-
We have Martin's projects right there.
And we're trying to draw
from pretty high-end neighborhoods.
We get a lot of cut-throughs, but, uh, keeping
the lot safe is our number one obstacle.
And I don't shy away
from the lot. It's critical.
That's good. It's critical
at the Augusta Plus store too.
We have public housing right there.
Yeah, it's a balancing act. You need safety,
but you also need good community relations.
I'm glad you mentioned
community relations.
The housing- those are our neighbors,
our customers too.
It's important to get along.
Doug, what's this?
- I grabbed this on the 19th.
- That's out of line.
Yeah.
- When did you get that?
- June 19th, at your deli, on the refrigeration unit.
- I think this is B.S.
- It is B.S.
I was probably on lot that day.
I like it out there.
Who was inside?
Maybe... Richard?
- Richard Wehlner.
- Yeah. Mmm.
I think so. Yep.
You think he was on Deli,
or he was on Deli?
Was on Deli.
Send him in.
Doug, these aren't great.
Bear down. We'll get some fresh cards.
