"approached a Donaldson's customer and me
while making threats...
and I was struck in the head
by a bottle of Yoo-hoo. "
How do you know
who threw that Yoo-hoo?
I noticed, um, previous to the thing...
That the young man that I had
the altercation with was drinking Yoo-hoo.
After I was struck, I noticed that he wasn't
drinking Yoo-hoo anymore.
And there was no one else
in the lot, so-
"I discharged a single pull of Mace
in his direction. "
I'm glad he's recovered.
"But the incident only occurred because
customer care is priority one at Donaldson's.
"It would have happened
if the customer's safety was threatened...
"by a group of any creed or color.
"We at Donaldson's are proud
of our ties to the community.
"We intend to continue to provide a courteous
and safe shopping atmosphere for you...
"and we intend to continue
"with that one wheel
that just won't work right.
"We understand that the young men
involved in the incident...
"are not good examples of the community,
but are troublemakers...
"who there are a lot of
everywhere in this day.
"The incident was unfortunate
for both parties...
"but we won't let a few bad apples
spoil the batch.
You can be sure of that.
Thank you for coming. "
- I think everybody's feeling pretty good about it.
- Yeah.
- It's isolated.
- Oh, yeah. It's a one-time thing.
What's that?
I agree. It's isolated.
I think it was just some black apples.
We won't be seeing
that happen again.
Black apples.
- What's that?
- You said "black apples. "
- I said "bad" ones.
- The f*** you said "bad. "
- Bad apples.
- You said "black. "
I'm sorry if there's some confusion.
Maybe in the confusion, I-
Hey, come on. It's been a long day.
That was a slip.
This is a lot of sh*t.
You are not a black apple to me.
I said that possibly there was
one black one in the batch. Not you.
And I didn't mean to say black.
I meant "back. "
"Blatch. " "Blad. "
"Blapples. "
Where'd you get this f***er?
Let's catch up outside.
I'll hit you with some gift certifiicates.
You hear that guy?
"Where'd you get this f***er?"
Maybe I don't belong here.
Maybe he's right.
You-You just-
You said "blapples," hon.
It was weird.
Let's- Let's find a way for you
to spend some time alone...
get cooled down.
No payments, right?
No pressure.
- Right.
- We'll find you something to get lost in.
Chapter Eight.
- "Keeping Your Cool. "
- F***.
Have you ever seen
an eagle blow his top?
Do your best to keep your cool.
Stay loose.
F***.
Every life has its frustrations...
but be careful not to let them
get the best of you in front of your family.
Instead of curses, find a more family-friendly
way to express life's frustrations.
F*** you! Ship f***!
A**hole ship!
Seven seas f***er!
Jolly f***er!
- For Chrissake.
- No one can do that! It's impossible!
Not even a guy with tiny hands!
Not even a guy with a child's hands!
F*** that!
I guess it was mean
enjoying a rainbow cone...
to celebrate Richard's racial slur.
But I had a feeling
he was starting to crack.
he mightjust fall apart.
Black apples?
What an a-hole.
What do you have?
Hey. Oh, almeja sauce.
Yeah, I'm gonna make dinner tonight.
We've been stressed
about getting this job, so-
I wanna make something.
We're just gonna take it easy.
It's supposed to be good,
Mateo and those guys said.
- You got that clam sauce?
- Yeah.
- You should ask Sylvia Rojas about her almeja sauce.
- Yeah? She makes it?
Almeja? That means "clam"in Spanish.
It also means something dirty-
P- U-S-S-Y.
The baggers say it all day-
the dirty way.
Yeah, okay, guys.
Ask her, papa. She's got a good recipe.
Should I tell him it means P-U-S-S-Y?
He put me on lot for a week.
Go ahead, learn some Spanish-
the inappropriate way.
Sylvia.
Um-
Mmm!
Richard.
Did you ask Sylvia
about her clam sauce?
Yeah.
You say it was the best?
Yeah.
That's p*ssy sauce.
What?
That's p*ssy sauce.
It's her p*ssy.
The Good Life. Chapter Nine.
"Dignity and Respect
and Their Importance in the Workplace. "
Gaining the respect of colleagues
does not happen overnight...
but these feelings-
dignity and respect-
are a necessary part of a good life.
- Just frustrated.
- Are you going to slide back to a bad place?
Not by a long shot.
Lori, not by a mile.
I've just had a bad day.
I'm feeling a little
turned around here.
- It's the home of the eagle.
- "It's a great place to soar," you said.
- Yeah.
- Are you okay?
- Yeah. Yeah.
I just feel like I'm at camp
and I want to come home.
You did male gymnastics
in theJunior Olympics?
- What?
- You were a male gymnast? Lopez said.
I don't know what they're saying. Name same
as mine popped up on Google or something.
Hey, watch your soups.
What about my soups?
Your soups are sloppy.
- We're gonna be okay.
- Thanks, Lori.
- I love you.
- I love you too.
- I'll see you at home.
- I'll see you.
I just have to log
these Mesquite Crunchers.
Bye.
Hey.
Are you gonna write me up, Doug?
No, man.
Yeah, I just- I just feel like
everything's getting to me.
I know.
Hey, smoke it down, bro.
I would, too, but I get bad headaches.
I had some, like, lost years.
Man, I was in a motorcycle gang.
F*** you!
I guess I'll just get everybody.
- Have a nice day, hon.
- You too.
Man, come on!
We found each other
and started a family.
We said we were gonna
make a go of it.
It's just hard.
I mean, day care's 300.
Our premiums are 400.
Yeah.
This is what I did.
I bought a house
that I can't even-
I can't even nearly afford.
I'm gonna tell Lori I toked up.
Yeah. I'm gonna tellJen.
I have to.
Because that's how you get happy-
leading an honest life no matter
what your life's like beside.
So I'm telling her.
Because that's a man.
Because-
If you have that
"to the max" clean love-
man, that-that "all the way" love-
then you could be even,
like, a midget or something...
and still light it up with a smile.
So go on, let it shine.
I'm not bullshittin'.
Lori, I can make a go of it.
We're goin'. We're goin' to Glasgow,
f***in' like it or not.
Okay, great. Yeah, go visit your grammy.
And then come on back, yeah?
Make it a holiday. I'll show you
I can make a big dancing go of it.
Tell your grammy I said hi.
I'll be seeing her.
I'll tell Grammy that you're a doper.
I'll tell Grammy that.
Whoa. Lori, don't.
Okay, Chrissie. Have a little holiday
with your grammy.
- All right. Let's go.
- I'll be seein' ya.
Lori, make it a holiday.
- Will you get the mail in when you get home?
- Yeah. No problem.
- I gotta tell you something.
- Mark, you remember Doug.
- Yeah. Hey. Teddy Grahams.
- Yeah, hey.
- We got surgery at 10:00. A
cleft palate- two-year-old. - Okay.
