meeting. I didn't have your number.

I work with this little

theater company in Topanga.

Have you ever given any

thought to teaching?

Not... No, no.

Well, look, we have these

classes for college kids

and we're looking for somebody new.

The pay is just okay,

but the people are amazing.

You should come by

and give it a look.

- Really?

- Yeah.

They'd love you. Would you come by?

That'd be really cool.

I'd be honored.

- Really? You'll come?

- Yeah.

I'd give you my number, but I doubt

you have a phone

in your little onesie.

Yeah, no, I don't, but I've

got places I can put things.

- All right, let's do it.

- My trailer's right here.

- Will you come with me just two seconds?

- Of course.

- Yeah, thank you.

- Wonderful.

The Blooms are willing to drop both

the sexual harassment and

public-battery charges

as long as we give her a year's

paid salary and you agree to this.

Ostensibly, it's a sexual

harassment workshop.

The Blooms are adamant

that you need to attend.

What the hell is this?

Well, it's typically a

three-month course,

but the Blooms are insisting

that you take it seven times.

Oh! Also, you're fired.

- Hi.

- Hello.

Are the Gilberts home?

Nobody home.

Oh, it's okay. I'm a

friend of the Gilberts

and they asked me to come by and fix

the drain at the bottom of their pool.

But I'm leaving.

Oh, that's okay. I'll close the

gate behind me. Thank you.

Mmm, AC feels good.

Dad, this is so embarrassing.

Don't worry. The Gilberts

are in St. Tropez all spring.

It's their own fault for bragging.

Now before I let school

out for the semester,

we're gonna get you

ready for Jesse's party.

I'm scared.

I know.

I want you to jump in.

But I don't know

anything about swimming.

I know, sweetheart. I want you to

jump in. I'm gonna be here for you.

If I die, I'm gonna

be so pissed at you.

We have a deal.

Do it. Go for it.

What lady is that, which doth

enrich the hand of yonder knight?
