- What's a cleft palate? - It's a
deformation of the "mascus"- the lower face.
Medically, it's "masculari horriblus"...
which is Latin for "monster face. "
And I guess some of these kids
really do feel like monsters.
But we restore them to normalcy.
You should see it, man.
It's beautiful.
- Man.
- Yeah.
- What? Tell me what.
- Nothing. I'll see you tonight.
Okay.
- Let me show you something.
- Yeah.
One way to go from planning to tell
the truth to telling another lie...
is to find a gift from your wife-
who has no money-
of some long-sleeved shirts...
because she believes
you'll dress more formally...
as the shoo-in boss of a large grocery
because you said this.
When the truth is you might
stay a "short sleever"...
for the foreseeable future
of thousands of days.
- Hey. I like my shirts.
- Hey.
What are you doing?
It's for night school-
for the school thing, for just in case.
- Are you worried?
- No. But just in case.
I didn't want to miss the sign-up.
I want to save a spot.
- You have to write a check?
- 180.
Don't. Because I got the job.
- They decided?
- Yeah. I got the job.
- Doug! You are great!
- Yeah.
Good-bye, banjo f***ers!
Yeah.
I don't know what that was.
A lie wish?
Way to go, Doug!
Whoo.
Hey, Scott, I wanted to mention, um-
My wrist is acting up a little...
from the Tater Tot thing.
So I think I should
probably do that in-store.
The in-store complaint?
- Yeah.
- All right.
That circulates through the company-
to the board, everywhere.
- Are you sure?
- Yeah. I think that's probably for the best.
You know, in case he does it
to somebody else.
- Okay. I'll get the forms.
- Thanks, Scott.
Because it's flaring up.
#I could be wrong
#I could be black
#I could be right
In-store complaints are for real.
They're for gross and flagrant violation
of company conduct.
It says it on the paperwork.
- Goddamn it.
- Guys get fired for them, not promoted-
think they have.
Oye. I heard from Scott.
He say you into gymnastics
all the way for males.
Our classes are a "no refund" policy.
Right. Uh-
My wife-
Due to circumstances, my wife
won't be able to be my partner anymore...
and that's cash money.
You can transfer your deposit
if you like.
We have one class
available for singles.
- Hey, Mr. Wehlner.
- Hey, Hardy.
- Hey, Mr. Wehlner.
- Hey, Hardy.
- How you doin'?
- Doin' good.
- What'd you do last night?
- Went to the movies with my sister.
- You did? That sounds awesome.
- Yeah.
- Guess what.
- What?
- I'm growing a mustache.
- All right. That's cool.
Hey, Hardy, you're doing a great job
in the store here.
- Thanks. You too, man.
- Keep it up.
- What's going on?
- Oh, nothing.
Just... Hardy.
Itjust gets sad sometimes.
Do you know why Hardy's hand
is powdered?
Why?
'Cause retarded guys
masturbate so much...
that they rub the skin
off their penises.
It's just-They don't know better.
Just-They have a hard time
not jerkin' off.
- Hey.
- Hey, guys.
- Scott in?
- Yeah.
- I think Scott's in Receiving.
- Okay.
- I wanted to ask you a question about the application.
- No problem.
I'll see you guys later, all right?
Hey, fellas.
What was he doing?
- Was he talking about jacking off?
- Richard?
He was talking about jacking it?
In front of customers?
Jacking d*cks?
Yeah. Yeah, I guess so. Yeah.
F. You!
- What?
- I didn't say that.
They asked me what you said.
That's what you said.
- You know what? F*** you, Doug.
- That's what you said.
How's your wrist?
How's your wrist, Richard?
- You're bogus.
- I'm bogus?
You lace that thing on, try to f*** me out of a job
- out of money for me and my wife.
I don't know what a gram is,
but I guess that's a lot 'cause you're hurt.
Get off me, Wehlner!
See you later, Tappy.
What, are you wearing tap shoes?
Lori left me, little boy.
It's the only class
I can attend as a single.
Goddamn! Come on!
Is that guy wearing tap shoes?
Come on!
- F*** off!
- Yeah?
Come on, dick!
Come on!
- F*** you!
- Hold it! Not cool!
Not cool! Go inside.
Sorry, Scott.
- Dancing bear.
- Yeah, wife liar!
I was lunching with Jen...
trying to forget about it and roll into
Then I spied that Big World.
Remember Do-Good and Dodo?
Dodo makes lunchtime
unpleasant for everyone.
Do-Good shares his peanut brittle
with the new... Negro.
"Negro"?
What the f***?
- Hey, babe.
- Hey.
Sometimes, Do-Good cleans up a mess...
even ifhe didn't make it.
Dodo is sometimes simply
not a good young man.
Hey, Lori. It's me.
Hey, uh, tomorrow's the big day-
the final sit-down.
You know, the final interview thing.
Then they make their decision.
Hey, guess what.
I'm taking tap dancing.
The studio wouldn't give me
the deposit back, so I'm tappin'.
I've gotta say I really like it.
It's real-
It's a real dance style.
Very expressive.
Um, anyway, whatever.
I'm still dancin', practicin'.
And, uh-
Listen, Lori.
I love you, and I miss you.
Bye.
#And deep down
we were really in love #
# Oh, but I'm tired

A man probably has just a half dozen or so...
really critical days in his life-
that's all-
a few days that can totally determine

to make the most of the few really golden
opportunities many of us will actually have.

# Time for me to fly #
# Oh, I've got
to set myself free #

it's got to be #
# Oh, I know it hurts
to say good-bye #
#But it's time for me to fly #
#It's time for me to fly #
#It's time for me to fly #
#It's time for me to fly #
#It's time for me to fly #
#It's time for me to fly #
#It's time for me to fly ##
By the way, don't tell
anyone that track's on here.
Because I didn't pay
for the licensing.
You have to pull the card back out.
Orange Line, Midway. Now changing to direct.
