트루디 왔나 보다

문 좀 열어줄래?

하브, 거기 없어?

35, 40, 막아서지만
뚫고 지나갑니다!

이따 타피오카
못 먹을 줄 알아

- 나 왔어
- 트루디!

문 앞에서
얼어 죽을뻔했어

남자들 풋볼 볼 땐
넋이 나가요

- 코코아, 차, 사이다 있는데
- 사이다 줘

요즘엔 재밌는 일 없어?

남 얘기 너무 좋아하셔

마을 소식이니까

엄연히 마을 소식이니까
알아야지

실은 '멍크'본사하고
통화하느라 늦었어

- 또 왜요?
- 새 소장님 집 좀 구해달래

- 설마!
- 그렇대도

저번 소장님은 스투가
내쫓아버렸잖아

먹기 대회에서 순대가
목에 걸려 죽을뻔한?

스투 아저씨가
귀에 대고 트럼펫 불었던?

- 여태 이명이 들린대
- 그게 뭔데?

그게 그러니까...

평생 이런 소리가
들리는 거야

완전 끔찍하다

또 냉장고에 갇혔던
소장님도 있었잖니

거기서 어떻게
버텼을라나

딱한 양반!

새로 올 소장님을
굽어살피소서

- 아멘!
- 아멘

르네 젤위거

미쓰 루시힐

해리 코닉 주니어

'멍크 푸드'입니다

- 좀 늦었죠?
- 별 얘기 안 했어

마냥 기다렸죠

뉴 얼름 공장 때문에
이윤을 깎아먹고 있어

공장문 닫는 게
낫지 않나요?

골칫거리 같은데

근데 마케팅 쪽에선
타깃 층을 다양화해서

우리 인기상품 ' 로켓 바'를
업그레이드 시키라더군

기존 시설을 이용하되
자동화해서

공장직원을
반으로 줄이라는데

문제는
누가 맡느냔 거지

다들 하겠다면 곤란해

제가 하죠 뭐

싱글이니까
파견 가기도 좋죠

- 파견 얘긴 없었어요
- 가는 게 나아요

바로 가게

조앤, 미네소타 행
예약해줘

어디... 미네소타?

역시 자네야

감독/ 조나스 엘머

- 도와드려요?
- 제가 할게요, 고마워요

네

추워 봤자지 뭐

이게 웬 날벼락...?!

뉴 얼름
인구 13,595명

완전 놀이동산이잖아

그래, 좋았어

어쩜 좋아!
열어둔단 걸 깜빡 했네

어떻게 오셨죠?

블란체 건더슨 씨라고
연락 받으셨을 텐데

미스 힐이시군요
제가 블란체예요

제 보좌관이세요?

절대 아니고 그냥 비서인데
한 명 구해드려요?

봐서요

일단 집부터 구해야죠

그쵸

저쪽은 공인중개사, 트루디

트루디 우우덴이라고
길게 발음해주세요

넌 그 차 얻어 타고 와

그게 좋겠네

가방이 세트네
참 세련됐다!

치즈!

스크랩 좋아해요?

- 네?
- 멜이다, 멜!

우리 우체부죠

별명이 '메일맨 멜'이라고
메일 나르는 멜이니까...

그렇잖아요

참, 스크랩북 있어요?

전 스크랩을 좋아해서
동아리도 들었죠

가지고도 다녀요

얜 우리 개
윈스턴 처칠이라고

죽었는데
침을 질질 흘렸었죠

이 고양이도
애저녁에 죽었어요

'야옹 백혈병'이란 거에
걸렸었나 봐요

막판에 엄청 토해대는데
어찌나 애처롭던지

이건 죽은 게 아니라
자는 거죠

거 좀... 나중에 보면
안될까요?

네?

그럼...

결혼했어요?
애들은?

아뇨, 안 했어요

아직 젊으니 기운 내요
중늙은이랄까

여유가 있다고요

뭐, 많진 않고...

고기 먹어요?
아님 채식주의자?

채식주의자 아녜요

그건 왜요?

부임 첫날인데
굶겨 보낼 수야 없죠

저녁은
우리 집에서 해요

차린 건 없어요

고기반찬 정도지

개인적인 거 하나
물어도 될까요?

여태 쭉 그러지
않았던가요?

주님을 찾았어요?

언제 실종되셨어요?

나름 농담한 건데

여기선 주님 갖고
농담 안 하는데

근데 생각해보면
안 웃기진 않네요

주님이 실종되다니

상상력 보게나!

날씨가 맑은 게
더 추워지겠네

휑한 감이 있지만
일단 가보죠

더 추워져요?

이거 보다...
더 추워져요?

전기도 들어오네

LP가스에
파이프는 잘 싸놨고

이중창이라 위풍은 없지만

카펫은 까는 게 좋아요

잠깐, 좀 헷갈려요

뭐든 물어봐요

전기제품은
다 되는 건가요?

- 저것도?
- 그럼요

여기로 할게요

난로 켜볼까요?

도시에 살아도
불 켤 줄은 알아요

스위치 어딨어요?

순둥이 같아

일주일이나
버텨줄는지

이제 왔네요

왜 안 오나 했는데

좀 헤맸어요

- 호수 반대라길래...
- 동쪽으로 갔구나

- 가는 데마다 호수라...
- 그건 루든 연못예요

- 호수가 또 나오던데
- 밴 마이어 늪이구나

- 좌로 트니까...
- 거긴 채석장인데

용케 찾아왔네

그러게요

여보, 손님 오셨어

어떤 와인을
좋아하실지 몰라서

무난한 걸로 샀는데

없어서 못 마시지
술이란 술은 다 마다 않죠

제 남편, 하브인데
농담같은 진담이죠

코트?

네, 그래 주시면 좋죠

고마워요

그렇게 입고도
안 추워요?

뭐, 괜찮아요

그래도 좀
추워 보이는데

괜찮대도요

에휴!
누가 와있는데

그분과 잘 지내면

여기 생활이 훨씬
재밌을 거예요

이쪽은 루시 힐
저쪽은 테드 미첼!

뭐냐!

- 다들 모였군요
- 네

- 고마우셔라
- 안녕하세요?

맥주를... 질질
흘리면서 드시네요

짱인걸

- 화장실 좀 써도?
- 부엌 지나 오른쪽이에요

네?

그 와인 딸까 하는데
한잔 드려요?

좋죠

근데 좀 쌀쌀한데
외투 좀 갖다 줄래요?

그럴게요

내가 못살아!

- 고기가 살살 녹아요
- 고마워요

테드, 이 근처 살아요?

네, 이사온 지
십 년 좀 넘었죠

왜요?

여기가 나쁘단 건
아니지만

왜요?

왜 안 되는데요?

도시는 뭐가 좋죠?

뭐, 문화적인 것만 해도

미술관, 오페라, 발레, 극장
밤 문화는 말할 것도 없고

오예!

저번엔 레스토랑에 갔다가
저스틴 팀버레이크를 봤어요

진짜?

네 MP3에 나오는?

멋지네

도시엔 빼빼 마른
슈퍼모델만 사는 줄 알았는데

하여간에!

거기 또 누가 왔게, 바비?

브리트니 스피어스
네 또래들이 좋아하지

아빤 그런 음악
못 듣게 해요

노래쯤은 맘대로
들을 나이 같은데

뭐라고요?

자길 성 상품화하는
그런 여자들?

보고 자라
좋을 게 뭐라고

성공한 여성을 보며 크는 건
필요하다고 봐요

그것도 성공인가?

섹시한 몸매로
밀어붙이는 게?

컨츄리송이나 듣자

맥주 홀짝대며 트럭 모는
꿀꿀한 인생 다룬 노래?

에구!

폴카는 어때?

그게 무난할 거 같은데

당신 간만에
옳은 소리했네

저 맥주 좋아해요

트럭도 몰고

몰랐네요

신종 차 몰겠죠

회사가 회사니까

근데 그 회사, 여기서 돈을
식은죽 먹기로 긁던데

누구 식은죽 먹을 사람?

트루디? 킴벌리?

그 회사 덕에 이 마을이
이만큼 살겠죠

악덕기업주가
노동자 피 빨아먹은 덕이죠

차 훔치면 감옥 가지만

남의 뼛골 빼먹으면
사장 되죠

나 꿈이 사장인데

다들 뼛골 조심하는 게
좋겠네

- 전 이만 가보죠
- 내가 가요

타피오카도
준비했는데

잘 먹고 가요

와아!

완전 짱이다!

앗, 차가!

미스 힐?

스투라고
공장장이외다

같이 둘러보시지

우유 가공기에
조리시설

응고용 통에 싱크대

예비용 냉장고에
또 싱크대

저쪽엔 저장고
컨베이어 벨트

여기가 생산파트요

직원들과 얘길하고 싶은데
어디서 하죠?

밥!

뜸들이지 마쇼

여러분, 안녕하세요

우리공장이 새롭게
거듭납니다

이런 기회
쉽지 않은데요

기존제품 ' 로켓 바'에
신기술을 도입하는 거죠

신 브랜드를
십분 활용해서

고수익을
창출하는 겁니다

본론만 하시지

뭘 만드는진
관심도 없고

몇이나 자를 거요?

'멍크 푸드'경영진들은
시스템 자동화를 추진 중이에요

'멍키'고 뭐고 간에
댁들이 오면

늘 누가 잘리더군

전 일자릴
만들고 싶어요

관심이 있든 없든

생산공정 변화에
적극 동참해주세요

아셨죠?

해본 게 어디야?

비결은 절대 알려줄 수...

끊어야겠어, 응

알아
나중에 걸게

그럼 끊어, 응

오셨어요?

트루디가 타피오카 비법을
알려달래서요

네, 타피오카는 공장과
상관 없을 거 같으니

일이나 하죠

오늘 늦어서 죄송해요

빌리가 학교에서 싸워서
불려갔지 뭐예요

지가 무슨
터프 가이인줄 아는지!

저게 제 사무실?

- 네
- 안으로 좀 오시죠

여자임에도 제가 승진이
빠른 비결을 아세요?

아뇨

일하는 시간엔
전 일에 집중해요

아, 네

개인적인 일은
개인적으로 해결하세요

- 쉽네요
- 꼭 그렇진 않을걸요

첫만남부터
남잘 엮으려 했잖아요

- 전 그냥...
- 핑계는 됐고요

전 일하러 왔지

여기 사람들하고
친해질 생각 없어요

- 하지만...
- 됐고!

설사 내가
엮이고 싶대도

그 테드란 남잘
들이밀어요?

옆구리가 시려도

까칠한 트럭아저씬
사양하겠네요

- 까칠한 트럭...
- 끝!

알아들었을 테니
그 얘긴 그만하죠

오전엔 조합장한테
알랑방귀 뀌어야 하거든요

벌써 와있는데요

저 사람이 왜 저깄죠?

재밌게 됐네요

제가 주제넘게
들이밀긴 했지만

저녁자리에서 자연스럽게
조합장을 만나는 것도

좋을 거 같았거든요

테드가 조합장이라고요?

맞아요

내가 식탁에서
고래고래 소리친?

현관에서도
사람 잡던데

미첼 씨, 테드 맞죠?

네, 까칠한
트럭아저씨이기도 하고

뭐라고요?

공장 방음장치만
급한 게 아니라

사무실 벽도 그렇네요

들어갈까요?

조합규정 검토하고
내린 결정예요

그쪽 주장대로
자동화도 좋지만

조합원들 일자리만
잘랐단 봐요

그건 추후에 합의 보죠

합의를 어기는 일은
절대 없길 바래요

첫날 소감이 어때?

아주 알찼어요

직원들이며 공장장과도
얘길 나눠봤고

보좌관과 업무전략도 짜고
조합장도 만났어요

일을 진행하는데
무리는 없겠어요

공장규모를 줄일 테니

해고자 명단부터
작성하게

책상정리 다시 했더니
훨씬 프로다워진 거 있죠

음료수든 과자든
땡기는 게 있으면

불러만 줘요

미안하게 됐어요

벌써 작성하고 있어요

해고자 명단
스투 코펜하퍼 블란체 건더슨

이 기계들을 빼내고
새 장비를 넣죠

그럼 일하는데
차질이 생겨요

- 많이 생기죠
- 아주 많이요

어느 정도는
양보해주세요

더 어떻게 양보하나?

' 고퍼 데이 '도 했는데

' 고퍼 데이 '?

여기 공휴일이오

1 1 월 첫째 금요일은
맨날 놀았는데 일하잖소

그럼 점심 때
공장문 닫으면

월요일 아침에
옮겨주실래요?

- 그러죠
- 그럽시다

해피 고퍼 데이!

무슨 문제라도?

있구 말구요

'멍키'인지 뭔지 하는
당신네 회사가 떠맡은 후론

착실한 일꾼들
다 잘랐잖수

이보세요, 플로

전 여기 일하러 왔어요

그러니 그쪽도
본업으로 돌아가

주문부터 받으시죠

알아들으셨을 테니...

스페셜 메뉴가?

'댁 살던 데로 돌아가라'가
스페셜인데

굳이 보태자면
해피 고퍼 데이!

얼마나 사람이 모자라면

고퍼 데이 같은 게
있다고 믿나?

젠장!

저 여잔 왜 왔대?

뭔 볼일이슈?

맥주 한잔 사려고요

뭐, 자유국가니까

공정을 '전'부
최신화하면

'전' 누이 좋고
매부 좋고 라고 봐요

'전'략화와 '전'문화가
뒤따라야겠지만요

참 좋네요

마침내 '대'화도 통하고

'대'는 두모금이야

기계화에 관심이
'대'단한가봐요

그럼요

죄송한데 실컷 마시라고
'대' 넣어서 말했어요

너땜에 눈치챘잖아

저기요

좋든 싫든
전 이 공장 책임자예요

한잔 하면서
잘해보려 했는데

바보 취급하면서
사람 갖고 내기를 해요?

참 고맙네요, 이 자식아

오셨어요?

공장장이요

호수가 얼었다며
하루 쉬래요

공장장이 그랬단 거죠?

어딜 가면 만날까요?

누가 저 아줌마 불렀냐?

이 사기꾼 아저씨야!

아이스 데이?
고퍼 데이론 만족 못해?

사람을 잘못 봐도
한참 잘못 봤다

당신 해고야!

어째!

그렇겐 해고 못해요

벌써 한걸요

아이스 데이?

내가 얼마나 물렁해 보이길래?

점수라도 매길까요?

얼음낚시 첫날은
공휴일예요

그럼

반항 죄로 자르죠 뭐

잠깐만요

스투가... 처음엔 좀
데면데면해도 좋은 사람예요

좋은 사람?

우린 보는 눈이
너무 다르네요

그쪽 위해 하는 말인데

그렇게 자르면
아무도 그쪽 편이 안돼요

편 만들러 온 거 아녜요

스투는 해고예요

잘 가요

기계가 전부 한꺼번에
고장났단 걸 믿으라고요?

추수감사절엔
눈 소식이 있군요

내일 오후에
눈보라가 예상됩니다

상관 없네요
난 마이애미로 갈 거니깐

결항

뭐, 괜찮아

제발...

안돼!

어쩌면 좋아

좋았어

해보자

이... 이봐요!

여기... 여기예요!

사람 살려!

저 좀 살려줘요!

정말 고마워요

- 나와요
- 네

잡아줄게요

네, 저기요
손 좀 가만 둬요

혼자 느끼는 아저씨!

느낄 건덕지나 있나

차에서 빼낸 거 뿐이에요

모르나 본데
나 구조해줄 남잔 필요 없어요

- 네
- 그래요

아니야, 난...

난 살아남을 거야

일어나요

데려다 줄게요

정신줄 놓으니까...

순한 양이네요

- 내려요
- 아, 네

- 내가 닫죠
- 네

괜찮아요?

혼자 할 수 있어요

섹시한 소방관 힘 안 빌려도
들어갈 수 있다고요

그 얘긴 벌써 했고
내가 섹시해요?

왜 그런 황당한 생각을?

방금 그래 놓고

들었어요?

- 내가 할게요
- 아녜요

내게 맡겨요

흑심 품지 말아요

안 품어요, 괜찮아요?

그럼요

멀쩡해요

- 괜찮아요?
- 네, 말짱해요

이왕 나온 김에
바람이나 실컷 쐐요

- 나 왔어
- 왔어?

네 타피오카 다 팔렸어

잘됐네

눈밭에서 구해줬다며?
아주 붕 떠있겠네

멋진 남자가 구해줬으니
푹 빠질 만도 하지

빠져요? 테드한테?
농담도!

이번 사고도 있고 해서

- 만들어봤어요
- 차에 둬요

우리들 연락처 수놓았으니
급할 때 전화하고

어머, 이거...
너무 예뻐요

안 그래도 되는데

그래도 걸려서요
사람 정이 있지

그 폭설을
혼자 견디다니...

완전 겁먹었겠어요

- 뭐 그닥 위험하진 않았어
- 농담도!

여기 사람들
툭하면 얼어 죽는데

모자란 사람 위주로요

사람 솎아내는
자연의 이치겠죠

누가 테드를
마다할 수 있겠어!

엉덩이
살랑대는 것 좀 보게

어쩜 저리 튼실할까

상대도 안 된다니까!

굉장한데요

- 왔어요?
- 네

그날 밤엔...

제가 좀 취했어요

말실수를 한 것도 같고...

잘하던데, 이리 와봐

정말 대견하다

루시 힐 기억하지?

바비예요

안녕

안녕하세요

고난도 기술을
구사하던데!

저기...

멋지더라

블란체?

비행기표 환불해줘서
고마워요

뭘요

참, 수리했더니
새 차가 됐어요

- 고마워요
- 네

넣어두세요

돈이네

연말휴가 보너스
원래 안 받았어요?

보통 선물을 주고 받지만
이것도 좋죠

아, 참!

크리스마스
선물이 있어요

그런 거
안 사줘도 되는데

가게에서 산 거 아녜요

만들었죠

뜯어보세요

- 고마워요
- 뭘요

스크랩 해보려나 해서

'루시에게, 블란체가'

부임 첫날 기억하죠?

언제 찍었어요?

좀 됐어요

세상 걱정
다 짊어진 거 같네

외로워 보여요

하지만 혼자가 아녜요

주님이 항상
응원해주시니까

늘 함께하시죠

저도 그렇고

뭘 눈물까지
글썽이고 그래요

참, 또 있지

기분 좀 좋아질 거예요

타피오카예요

- 메리 크리스마스!
- 메리 크리스마스!

안아도 되나?

나가요

♪ 주님을 찬양하세

♪ 천사를 노래하세

♪ 기쁨에 젖어서

♪ 천국의 벗들을
노래하세

♪ 오, 주님을 찬양하세

왔어요?

♪ 오, 주님을 찬양하세

♪ 우리 주님을!

고마워요

♪ 주를 맞이합니다

♪ 이 기쁜 아침에

♪ 주님께 이 영광이
함께 하시길

♪ 아버지 말씀대로
주님이 나시니

♪ 오, 주님을 찬양하세

♪ 우리 주님을!

테드가 회의 차 왔어 요

- 안녕 하세 요
- 네

고 마워 요

이 렇게 새날도
밝았겠다

으르렁 대는 것 좀
안 하면 좋겠네

저 필 요하면
언제든 부르세요

회사분석 표예요

네

시작하기에 앞서...

저 구해준 얘길
할 기회가 없었어 요

제가 너무 막말했고
또 막무가내였죠

아뇨, 다 잘해냈어 요

차에서 도 안 나오고!

다들 나와서 구조 요청하다
얼어죽거든요

근데 몸을
따뜻하게 했잖아요

술은 좀... 그랬지만

그리고 적색깃발은...

아주 기막혔어요

막말한 건
기억도 안 나고요

고맙단 인사를
제대로 못한 거 같아요

고마워요

별말씀을요

그럼 분석표나 보죠

네, 봐야죠

임원진부터 볼까요?

루시!

- 그릇이요
- 어서 들어와요

루시 왔어

어서 와요

딴 데 덜어놓고 왔으니
먹보라고 놀라진 말아요

- 놀라긴요
- 별 걱정을!

앉아요

그거 살 안 쪄요

남편이
단백질 다이어트 할 때

새로 개발한
조리법이죠

빤히 봐봤자
비결은 절대 못 알려줘

귀띔하자면 저지방우유랑
유청단백질을 썼죠

- 설마!
- 진짜야

발렌타인 카드
교환하던 참인데

드릴게요

올해엔 그런 걸
계속 못 챙기네요

카드며 휴일이며...

받아요

여보, 나가볼래?

혹시 큐피드
아닌가 몰라

테드야

문제가... 생겨서

여자분이 좀...

도와줬으면 해요

바로 저기예요

여자들 고민거리?

그런 셈이죠

발렌타인
댄스 파티 말인데

별일 아니라고
생각했거든요

첫 데이트인데
별일이지

신경 안 쓴 건 아녜요

- 예쁜 옷도 사줬고
- 예뻐요?

수녀 복이 더
섹시하겠네

겨우 13살예요
아시겠어요?

섹시 따질 때가 아니죠

그럼 옷이 문젠 거죠?

더 심각한 게 있어요

그 옷보다 더 심각해요?

잠깐 나와볼래?

아뇨, 도저히 못나가요

봐줄 만할 수도 있잖아

미장원에 데려갔더니
빠마를 해줬어요

리본을 달아보자

- 스카프를 쓰든가
- 그게 좋겠네

좋은 수가 있으니
바비 좀 빌려줄래요?

그러죠

바비, 날 믿고 일단 타

웬만하면 모자 쓰고!

신발도 빼놓을 수 없죠?

하이힐이네

깜찍하지?

이 정도는 괜찮지?

처음 신어봐요

일단 신어보자

딱 맞아요

신데렐라가
따로 없구나

소개해 올리죠
바비 미첼 양입니다

와아, 바비 너...

너 진짜...

눈부시게 아름답다

안녕하세요, 아저씨

웨일런 왔어?

와, 너 죽음이다!

누가 아니래냐

헌데 애니까
침 흘리지 마라

고맙지만 그쯤 해둬

나도 14살 시절이
있었으니

지금 네 머릿속은
안 봐도 훤해

바지 속도!

아빠, 쫌!

엄마 기다리시겠다

- 그래
- 잠깐

10시 반까진 데려와

- 네
- 그래

참, 잘 들어
이건 꼭 기억해둬라

네가 내 딸한테
어떻게 하든

그대로 해줄 거야

아빠 말씀은
가서 재밌게 놀란 거야

그건 아니지

말이야 바른 말이지만
아니란 거 알 거다

그런 뜻이 전혀 아니죠

괜찮아요?

괜찮아요

괜찮긴 한데...

저도 늙었네요

딸애가 데이트를
다하다니!

엄청 꿀꿀해요

가서 좀 앉아야지
후들대 죽겠네

쇼크 받았나 봐요

어쩌면 심장마비도
같이 왔나 봐요

손이 마비된 게...

어느 손이 심장하고
상관 있더라?

심장마비 아닌 건
어떻게?

겪어본 걸요
아버지가 과잉보호 좀 하셨죠

토요일을 이렇게 때워서
어떡해요?

여기선 마음 먹은 데서
계속 비켜가던데

그러게요

어릴 땐 아빠 따라서
공장에 자주 갔었어요

아빤 모르는 게 없었죠

높은 분들도
물어볼 정도였으니까

아빠가 사장님인 줄
알았어요

사실을 알곤 놀랐죠

알고 보니
정비공이었거든요

누누이 이르셨죠

사람은 배워야 한다

그건 누가 못 훔쳐간다

맡은바 열심히 일해라

그럼 언젠간
이런 데 사장이 된다

인생 참 얄궂죠?

그쪽은요?

어떻게 여길
오게 됐어요?

메이요 병원땜에...

메이요 병원?

여기서 별로
안 멀어서요

원랜 여기와는 먼데서
나고 자랐고

아내도 거기서 만났죠

이젠 아내라고 하기도
뭐하지만

6년이나 지났는데도

요 앞 슈퍼에 간 거처럼
느껴져요

병명이...

퇴행성 심장병이란 거였어요

그 병원에 입원한 뒤론

병원을 오가는 게
일이었고요

전화벨이 울리면
가슴이 덜컥 내려앉았죠

따뜻한 데로
이사 갈 생각은?

바비는
이 집밖에 모르고

엄마 잃은 지 얼마 안돼

집까지 잃게 할 순
없더군요

친구며 학교도 그렇고

- 몇 시나 됐어요?
- 몰라요

이제서야 오는구나

내내 걱정했잖아

10시 반도 안됐어

아직 안 가셨어요?

너 늦어서 난리 나면
뜯어말리려고

안 그런 거 봤으니까...

오늘 재밌었니?

괜찮았어요

아깐 이상하게 굴어서
미안했다

괜찮아

딴 애들 아빠도
별나게 구셨던데 뭐

고마웠어요, 전부 다

- 잘 자라
- 잘 자

네

자동화한단 게 언젠데
아직인가?

자동화가 누구네
애 이름도 아니잖아요

회사규모 줄이면
직원도 해고해야 되고

- 안 그럼 다 돈이야
- 그야 알죠

나중에 보고할게요

- 다음주에 얘기해요
- 그래

막 끊네

- 루시 힐입니다
- 나 테드예요

토요일에
갈 데가 있으니까

아침 8시쯤
태우러 갈게요

괜히 신경 써서
입지 말아요

뭘 입지 말라고요?

- 나 왔어요
- 네

이거... 입으라고요

뭔데요?

까마귀 사냥?

까마귀 쏘긴 싫은데

쏴 맞출 건 없고
그냥 쏘기만 해봐요

바람도 쐴 겸

동네사람들하고도 친해질 겸

스투?

이런 데서 다 보네

그 여잔 왜?

총 좀 쏘고 싶대서

총을?

총알도 있수?

네, 당연하죠

날 한번 잘 잡았다

아깝다

저기, 제가 좀...

- 네?
- 좀 급해서...

말을 해요

급해요... 작은 게

지금 나 놀려요?

이건 뭐 지가 공주도 아니고!

도시여자들은 밖에서
싸지도 못하나?

도시에 살아 좋단 게
다 그런 거 아니겠어요?

그럴 일이 없단 거

오소리가 엉덩이 안물까 몰라

오소리? 진짜?

진짜예요?

혹시 모르니까

미치겠네

테드!

참, 그렇지

어딨냐? 너 어딨어?

어디야? 여기구나

왜요?

고생 제대로 시키네요

이번 기회에
화해도 하고 좋잖아요

너무 좋아 탈이죠

딱 걸린걸요

- 말문이 막히면...
- 말이 아니고

- 바지 지퍼가 걸렸다고요
- 잠깐

뒤돌아요

가만 있어요

가만 있으래도

잠깐만요

가만히 좀 있어봐요

됐어요

이걸 어째!

뒤돌아요

- 왜요?
- 숙여봐요

- 어쩌게요?
- 숙이래도요

알았어요

- 팍팍 숙여요
- 나 급해요

됐다

지퍼를 찢으면 어떡해요!

끈 팬티 입었어요?

아예 입지 말래 놓고!

- 신경 써서 입지 말랬지
- 가기나 해요!

보지 말고 가요

미쳐!

가!

이거 술도 안 취했잖아

서로 아는 사이인데...

어쩌냐, 그렇게 쏠 줄
누가 알았겠어!

테드의 상태는 어떻습니까?

하체부위에... 맞았거든요

엉덩이 부근이요

치정에 의한 총격이란 의견과
여자가 미쳤단 의견이 분분합니다

영광이네, 헤드라인이
내 엉덩이라니!

장비 들여오는 거 사인해줘요

네

재밌네요

바비?

잘 지냈어요?

- 네, 그쪽은요?
- 네

이런걸 다 구웠어요?

네

원랜 안 하는데
여기에선 다들 이러길래

미안해요, 다시 한번

케이크다!

- 이제야 나오냐?
- 바비

용서한단 표시예요

네

들어와요

이사님 전화요

아, 네

제안서 보셨어요?

기존 설비로도 가능해요

제조를 안 한다뇨?

그런 회의엔 저도 참석해야죠

알았어요

네, 내일 봬요

블란체, 마이애미행
첫비행기 끊어줘요

대체생산 실적표가 필요한데

내 책상 기밀파일에 있어요

열쇠는 가운데 서랍에 있고

잘 알아들었어요

고마워요

해고

해고자 명단

' 로켓 바'시험판매가 저조해

생산을 중단하죠

공장도, 그게 회사한테 득이야

전 반대예요

- 치명적인 실수라고요
- 루시

거기 분들 능력 있으니
회사 살릴 방법을 찾을 거예요

' 로켓 바'로 살렸어야지

이제 이름도 다시 짓고
마케팅도...

그 제품은 한 물 갔어
그러니 공장을 닫아야지

생계가 달린 문제라고요

루시!

그만하게

폐쇄조치에 들어가

몇 명만 남겨서 당분간
시설물 관리시키고

블란체!

해고 얘긴 없었잖아요

맙소사!

오래 전에 만든 거예요

당신 알기 전에

그럼 괜찮아요?

모르는 사람일 땐
잘라도 돼요?

촌뜨기들이라
상관없단 건가요?

말투도 웃기고 얼음낚시에
스크랩이나 하고

누구처럼 멋지지 못하니까
상관없죠?

친구인척하면서
거짓말해도 괜찮고요?

거짓말 안 했어요

말 안 한 거 뿐이지

그게 그거지만...

거짓말했대도
척하진 않았어요

내 친구 맞아요

다들 알아야 돼요

그래야 조합이름으로
항의서를 내든가

테드...

테드한텐 알렸어요

난 그런 일 쉬쉬 못해요

상황이 더 나빠졌어요

여기서 어떻게 더요?

본사에선 공장문을 닫겠대요

괜한 말뿐인 거 같겠지만

방법을 찾아볼게요

뭔가 방법이 있을 거예요

사람들 밥줄을
그렇게 끊을 순 없잖아요

왜 없어요?
늘 그래온걸

친구라 주는 게 아니라

화나면 음식을 하는데

우린 타피오카를
물리도록 먹어서

미운 놈 떡 하나 줄게요

테드

사실이에요?

그럼 할말이 없군요

가지 말아요

제 곁에 있어줘요

해고통지서 치라고요?

몇 달 더 있다고 뭐가 달라져요?

달라져야죠

저기, 타피오카 말인데요

좋았어

먼저 놔요

안녕들 하세요

오늘은 신제품 시장조사를 나왔는데

이름하야
'파워팩 푸딩 재피오카'예요

벌써 4개째네

기운이 펄펄 나겠는걸

사람들을 많이 모아요

드셔보고 맛있으면
'좋다'라고 써주세요

향신료를 쳐드셔도 좋아요

싫으면 마시고요

일류 스키어들로만 구성됐습니다

고난도 기술을 구사하는데요

여긴 또 왜 왔나?

스투 좀 만나려고요

당신은 여기 왜 왔죠, 플로?

여기 사니까

이봐, 스투!

명사수께서 찾으셔

댁하고 플로하고...

네, 아뇨

플로는 전 마누라고

여긴 전에 살던 내 집인데

지금은 지하 단칸방에
세 들어 사는 신세요

인생이 좀 눈물겹지

다시 출근하란 게
뭔 소리요?

공장문을 닫겠대요

빌어먹을!

- 내 그럴 줄 알았어!
- 좋은 수가 있어요

또 무슨 소란이야?

남의 일에 신경 꺼
이 할망탱이야!

신제품을 찾아냈는데

4주안에 만들고 시험 판매해서
공장을 일으켜봐요

겨우 한달?

말이 안되잖아

괜히 사람들
바람만 집어넣곤

잘리는 꼴만 날 거요

- 제 생각엔...
- 난 나설 생각 없소

혼자 잘해보슈

계획은 그래요

장비는 우리가 쓰던 걸로
될 거 같고요

시간은 꽤 걸리겠죠

- 초과근무수당은요?
- 없어요

그 '멍키 '들이
콧방귀도 안 뀌면

우린 일만 죽어라 하고
잘리는 격이잖소

네, 그럴 확률은
충분히 있어요

근데 위안이 될진 몰라도
잘리면 저도 같이 나가겠어요

제 직업인생을 걸겠다고요

왜냐? 모르겠어요

처음 왔을 때
이런 게 중요했냐? 아뇨

근데 지금은 중요하냐?

네

네, 그래요

그것도 아주 많이!

안 해보면 손 놓고
잘리는 거잖아

더 뾰족한 수라도 있나?

여기 아니면
어느 눈먼 회사에서

밥 같은 어벙이를 써줄까

여기가 문닫으면
마을도 휑해지겠지

그렇게 됐을 때

저 아가씨 한번
믿어볼걸 하는...

그런 미련은 갖고 싶지 않아

나도 껴주쇼

높은 분들은 화를
그렇게 푸나?

조합에서 응원 차 온건가요?

그럴걸요
얘긴 들었어요

왜 왔는진 나도 헷갈리지만
보탬은 될걸요

조금 더 돌려봐
조금만 더!

이제 켜봐

잠깐 꺼봐

- 맙소사!
- 내가 해볼게

그래, 해봐

옆의 걸로 해

- 그래
- 틀어봐

꺼봐

웃기겠지

- 아냐
- 웃기긴 해

- 아냐
- 인정해

밥, 원수 좀 갚자

본사의 이사님 전화인데
떨떠름한 목소린데요

웬일로 전화까지 주셨어요?

네, 본사 허가도 없이
맘대로 진행한 거 알아요

그래서 좀 언짢네

시험판매가 부진했다면
자넨 해고야

사장님 손주들이
좋아했으니 망정이지

블란체라고 제품개발 부장예요

아뇨, 전...

이렇게 뵙게 돼서 영광예요

- 네
- 죄송해서 어째!

- 괜찮습니다
- 난 몰라!

그럼...

낡은 기계와 우리가
힘을 모은 게

로봇보다 나을 줄 몰랐겠지만

우린 해냈습니다

바로 제조에 들어가고
이달 말까진 전국으로 배송돼요

부사장 된 소감이 어떤가?

다음주엔 본사로 들어오게

- 왔어요?
- 네

잘 지냈어요?

그럼요, 그쪽은?

잘 지냈죠

안은 시끄럽길래

여기서...
작별인사 하려고요

이 마을에 기적을 안겨줬어요

고마워요

마을사람들 모두
그리워할 거예요

특히 나요

송별회를 거하게
준비했다나 봐요

그러니까...

네, 저기...

가는 거 아니죠?

네, 곧 들어갈게요

그래요

문명인으로 돌아가는군요

여기서 어떻게 산대요?

대체 퀸을
몇 개나 넣은 거야?

네댓 개쯤 될걸

여기들 있었군

테드, 얘기 좀 하지

버번 스트레이트로!

성공을 해도
너무 과하게 했나 봐

듣자 하니 공장이
팔린다더군

곧 본사에서 와서
얘길 할거래

팔려?

참 발 빠르지

순식간에 다른 공장으로
알맹이만 쏙 빼가겠지

자네가 예뻐하는 부사장께선
귀띔을 안 해줬나 봐

말도 안돼요

남의 요리법을
가로채는 법이 어딨대요?

근무연수 1 년당
보름치 월급은 보장해야죠

본사에서 이 공장을
판단 얘긴 들으셨죠 ?

네

제가 투자자들을 모아서

이 공장을 통째로 사도록
돈을 대게 했어요

열심히 일해
그 돈 갚으면

이 공장은 여러분 것이
되는 겁니다

그 작자들을 어떻게 믿나 ?

그러게

그 사람들 믿지 말고

저만 믿으세요

이 회사 사장으로
돌아올 테니까

저 여사장님 좀 보세요

우리 인생을 걸게
만들어놓곤

뒤도 안 돌아보고 떠났죠

그러더니 맘대로
우리회사를 팔곤

이젠 또 우리더러
그걸 사라면서

사람 혼을 빼놔요

조합 상대할 자신 있어요 ?

얘기해보면
해답이 나오겠죠

시간 좀 걸릴 텐데
몇 년이 될지 몰라요

저 스케줄 널널해요

- 설마 자네...
- 눈에 뭐가 들어간 거야

근데...

요한은 어떠니 ?

남편감으론 그만이던데

살짝 사팔예요

눈을 보는데도
딴 델 보는 거 같고...

가슴이요

둘 다 보나 보지

그 말이 정답 같구나

내가 나갈게

- 피터, 왔어요 ?
- 받으세요

- 됐죠 ?
- 네

- 안녕히 계세요
- 좋은 하루 보내요

- 아줌마도요
- 고마워요

타피오카 특허권 사용료 4억

I bet that's Judy right now.

Harve, can you get that ?

Harve, get that, will you ?

35, 40, what a block!
45, still going! At the 50!

Okay, buster, no tapioca for you.

- Hey, everybody.
- Hi.

- Hi.
- Hi, Trudy.

I froze waiting for
you to open the door.

You know how the men get
when the Vikings play.

- So, I have cocoa, tea, or cider.
- Cider, thank you.

So, what's the latest ?

You're terrible,
starting with gossip.

Not gossip, news.

Yes, Blanche, it's news.
So spit it out.

Well, the reason I was late is
because I was on the phone

- with Munck headquarters in Miami.
- What did they want ?

To rent a house for the new plant
manager they're sending here.

- No way.
- Yes way.

God knows we all remember

what happened to that
last plant manager

that Stu and his fellows ran
right out of town.

You mean the one that
choked on the knockwurst

during the Braunschweiger
eating competition ?

Or what about the manager

Stu hand stand
too close to the glockenspiel ?

Did you know
I heard he still has tinnitus ?

What's that ?

Well, it's like...

all day long
for the rest of your life.

Oh, my God, that's horrible.

And don't forget the Land O' Lakes manager

that mysteriously got locked

into the dairy cooler
over the weekend.

What he had to do
in that cooler to survive.

It's unmentionable.

God bless our new plant manager,
whoever the poor guy is.

- Amen.
- Amen.

Good morning, Munck Foods.

- Sorry I'm late.
- We haven't gotten far.

We had to wait for you.

We were discussing
how getting the New Ulm facility

dumped on our division is going to
affect our bottom line.

Well, wouldn't it just
be better to close the plant ?

I mean, it looks like
a lost cause to me.

Yes, but marketing wants to cross
our branding in the youth demo

with the adult protein craze

with 'Rocket Bars
protein snacks for kids.'

Now, we can use
the existing facility,

but we'll have automate it
to produce the new line,

downsize production,
reduce the workforce by 50%.

The question is,
who will oversee it ?

Don't all of you volunteer at once.

I can do it.

And, hey, Lucy is single.

She could do the conversion on-site.

That's not in the proposal.

But on-site would expedite it.

You'll go immediately.

Joan ? Book Lucy to Minnesota
this weekend.

This... Minnesota ?

I knew I could count on you.

Give you a hand with that ?

Oh, I've got it. Thank you.

All right.

How bad can it be ?

Holy, mother...

I'm spending winter in a theme park.

Okay. Hello.

Oh, my Lord.
Iocked the door at 5:00 by habit.

Can we help you ?

I'm looking for Blanche Gunderson.
My assistant Cathy called.

You must be Ms. Hill.
I'm Blanche Gunderson.

You're my executive assistant ?

Oh, Heavens no.
I'm just a secretary.

Did you need me
to find you one of those ?

We'll see.

What you need is a place to live.

Right, so this is
your realtor, Trudy.

Trudy Van Uuden at your service.

That's with two 'U's.
A double 'U', not a 'W'.

I'll drive and
you can follow with Ms. Hill.

Oh, good idea.

Oh, your luggage all matches.
That's so nice.

Say cheese.

Are you a scrapper ?

- Excuse me ?
- That's Merle. Hi, Merle!

That's our mailman Merle.

That's what we call him,
'mailman Merle',

'cause he delivers the mail
and he's our mailman, so...

you know.

Oh, yeah, do you keep a scrapbook ?

'Cause I do. I'm a scrapper, see.

We even got a club.
I've got a mini in my bag here.

Okay, so... this here's our dog,
Winston Churchill.

He's dead.

He was a bit of a drooler,
I'm afraid

This is my kitty, Snowflake.
She's dead, too.

had to put her down on account of that kitty leukemia th

You should have seen
the kinds of things

she was barfing up
on our couch, poor thing.

Bless her heart.

She's not dead
in the picture, though.

She's just sleeping.

Could I look at that later, maybe ?
Okay ?

So...

Are you married ?
Do you have children ?

No, not married.

Well, you're still young,
you know, relatively.

I mean, you've still got time,
I suppose.

Do you eat meat
or are you vegetarian ?

No, I'm not a vegetarian. Why ?

'Cause it's your first night
in town.

Don't think we're going to
let you go hungry.

You're coming to
my house for dinner.

Nothing fancy, of course.

Meatloaf.

Do you mind
if I ask you a personal question ?

Isn't that what you've been doing ?

Have you found Jesus ?

I didn't know he was missing ?

It was just a joke.

Normally we don't joke
about Jesus around here

but I can see how you'd think
that was sort of funny.

Imagine, Jesus gone missing.

Imagine.

It's clearing.
A chill coming on.

It's going to get
a heck of a lot colder.

This place is big,
but what the hey.

Colder ?

It gets colder ?

Oh, good, electric is still on.
Heat's LP. Tank's out back.

Furnace is a Norge.
Pipes are wrapped,

so you shouldn't get freeze-ups.

Windows are two-paned,

and there's a double layer
of Owens Corning topside.

Hardwood, but you got
rag rugs to keep

from freezing
the bejesus out of your toes.

Wait, uh, you just lost me.

No problem.
What didn't you get ?

Well, I understood that
the electric is still on ?

Mm-hmm.

- Does that work ?
- Sure as shooting.

Okay, then I'll take it.

Do you want me to go
over the fireplace ?

I'm a city girl,
but I know how to light a fire.

Where is the switch ?

She seems nice enough.

I doubt she'll last a week,
poor thing.

There you are.
Starting to wonder.

Got lost.

You said it was just
on the other side of the lake...

- You headed east probably.
- Every direction

- I went there was the lake.
- That's not even a lake,

that's Luden Pond.

Well, then I turned around
and I found another lake.

Oh, I bet you went to
Van Meyer Slough.

- And then I went left.
- Oh that's actually a stone quarry

but you made it.

Yeah.

Oh, Harve! Company!

I didn't know
whether to get red or white

but all they had was
zinfandel anyway. So...

Oh, hell, anything you can uncork,
uncap, or unscrew, I'll drink it.

This is my husband, Harve.

You think he's joking,
but he's not.

Take your coat ?

Yes, please.
That would be great.

Thank you.

You okay like that ?
You're not too cold ?

No, I'm fine.

Oh, okay,
cause you look a little cold.

I'm fine.

Anyhoo, there's someone that
I want you to meet,

and I'm hoping that you hit it off

because if you do
it's going to make your stay here

in Minnesota a lot more pleasant.

So, Lucy Hill, this is Ted Mitchell.

Damn.

Oh, so it's a whole dinner party.

Oh, yeah.

How you doing ?

You've got beer dripping
from your chin.

Awesome.

Can I use your powder room ?

You betcha. It's right through
the kitchen to the right.

Oh.

- Yeah ?
- Lucy, we thought

we'd open that wine with dinner.
Would you like a glass ?

Yeah, that would be great.

You know, I actually
am feeling a little chilly.

Would you mind bringing my jacket ?

Oh, you betcha.

Oh, God.

Blanche, this meatloaf is good.

Thank you, Ted.

Mm-hmm.

So, Ted, you live around here ?

Yeah. Yeah, I moved up here
a little over 10 years ago.

Why ?

I mean, not that it's not nice,
I'm sure but why ?

Why not, you know ?

What's so great about a city ?

Well, I mean
the cultural advantages alone...

museums, opera, ballet, theater,
not to mention nightlife.

Oh, yeah.

Do you know
I was in a restaurant last week,

and Justin Timberlake walked in.

For real ?

Oh, is he one of your MP3 fellas ?

Oh, that's nice.

I thought all they had
in Miami was skinny supermodels

and Columbian drug lords.

Ted! You're terrible!

You know who else was there Bobbie ?

Fergie. I bet you like her music.

My dad won't let me like that stuff.

You seem old enough to decide for
yourself what you like.

Excuse me ?

Women like that just
selling themselves as sex objects ?

What kind of a role model
is that for young girls ?

I think that any examples of strong,
successful young women are vital.

And that's how you measure success ?

By how sexy and provocative
a woman can be ?

We'll pass on that.
We'll listen to country, huh, baby ?

Oh, the twangy drivel
about the losers who drink beer

and drive pickup trucks ?

Oh, dear.

How about polka ?

It's got something for everybody.

That's it, Harve.
You're exactly right. Bingo.

I like beer.

I drive a pickup.

I should have known.

You probably drive a new car
for what it says about you

when what it really says about you

is how you bow down
to the big corporations

that made a gravy train
out of this country.

And would anybody
like more gravy ?

Trudy ? Kimberly ? Anybody ?

Industrial competition

in a free market economy
is what built this country.

No, robber barons built this country

and they did it
from the blood of working folks.

Hell, you steal somebody's car
you get thrown in jail.

You steal somebody's
life savings you get to be a CEO.

I'm planning on being a CEO.

Well, Blanche you better
count the silverware

- before she leaves then.
- Oh don't bother.

- I'm leaving now.
- I leave first. Come on baby.

Now, I've got
snickerdoodles with tapioca.

- Thanks for dinner.
- Thanks for dinner.

Whoa. Totally awesome.

Fuck.

Oh.

Ms. Hill ?

Stu Kopenhafer, plant foreman.
I'm supposed to show you around.

Milk processors, cooking facilities

curdling vats, slot sinks,
auxiliary refrigeration,

more slot sinks
storage racks over there

conveyor belt.
This is your main production floor.

I'd really like to speak
with the workers.

Where can I do that ?

Bob!

What are you waiting for ?

Greetings, New Ulm.

I'm here to usher in a new phase.
This is a great opportunity.

I'm here to reconfigure

for the initialization
of Rocket Bars.

This will be an exciting utilization
of new branding

for capitalizing
on a highly profitable demographic.

Why don't you cut to the chase ?

We don't give a good goose fart
on a muggy day

what you're making us make.

Just tell us how many
you're planning on laying off.

Management at Munck Foods in Miami
has sent me here

to conduct mechanization
and modernization procedures.

Yeah, you
'Munck-ees' all say that crap

but every time one of you comes
we end up losing jobs.

Well, I'm more interested
in the jobs we'll create.

If you're not, that's fine,

but still I'll expect you
to implement the production changes

in a timely manner. Okay ?

Oh, yeah. Well, nice try, Trudy.

No, you're not getting that
recipe out of me, because I told...

Oops, all right.
Listen, got to go. Okay, yeah.

Oh... Yeah, okay, I know.
I'll give you a jingle later.

Okay. Bye-bye then. Yeah, bye.

Oh, good morning. Sorry about that.
That was Trudy.

She's always trying to get
my tapioca recipe out of me.

Yeah, well I doubt
that your tapioca recipe

is going to affect the plant,

so let's just stick to work
if we could.

Oh, okay. Oh, and listen,
sorry about being late this morning.

Billy had a run-in up
at the school.

Had to go talk to the principal,
don't you know.

Thinks he's a regular
little Puff Diddly,

in case you didn't
notice last night.

Is that my office ?

Oh, yeah.

I'd like to see you
in there, please.

As a female, do you know how
I'm on the fast track to VP

in a Fortune 500 company ?

No, I don't.

When it's time to work,
I concentrate on work.

I get you.

And I expect one's personal life
to be kept personal.

- Okay, that's easy.
- But not you, apparently.

You're trying to set me up
after having just met me ?

- Well, actually...
- I don't want excuses.

I am here to do a job.

I will not get personally attached
to this town, or anybody in it.

- Okay, but listen...
- No buts.

But for the sake of argument,
let's say I did want to get set up,

trying to hook me up
with that Ted guy ?

I may be in the middle of nowhere

but I am not so desperate
that I would even consider

your sorry-ass truck guy.

- Right, sorry-ass truck guy.
- Good. Now that that's clear,

- let's just brush that off
- Okay.

so I can spend
the rest of the morning

kissing the ass
of the local union rep.

Who I actually think is here.

Hmm.

Why is he out there ?

Funny story.

Yes, it might have been

presumptuous of me
to try to set you up,

but I thought it might help,
purely professionally

if you were to meet the union rep
for all of Southeastern Minnesota

casually over
a nice home-cooked dinner.

Ted is the local union rep ?

Mm-hmm. That's right.

The guy that I yelled at
over your meatloaf ?

And in the driveway some too.

Mr. Mitchell. Ted, wasn't it ?

Yeah, but some people refer to me
as sorry-ass truck guy.

I beg your pardon ?

You know, the union has been pushing

for better soundproofing
in this plant

but I think they should probably
extend it to the office walls, too.

Shall we ?

Well, going over union regulations
for two hours is not helping.

What I'm trying to do
is make sure that

during this simple reconfiguration,
as you call it,

that not one union job gets cut.

Well, I'm sure we can come to
some kind of an agreement.

I'm going to make sure that
you comply with that agreement

every step of the way. Goodbye.

How's the first day going ?

It's been a very productive day.

I've already spoken to the employees
and the plant foreman and they are

very engaged in the process.

I have laid out my work strategy
with my assistant,

and I have begun dialoguing
with the local union rep.

I am sure I'll be able to
forge a working relationship there.

All right,
but if we're going to downsize

by 50 percent,
I need you to prioritize your

termination list.

Hiya, there. I just wanted to
let you know I rearranged my desk.

It looks so nice and
professional now,

so if you need anything...

a drink, or a snack,
or you get homesick,

you want to talk,
you just give me a shout.

I'm so sorry.

Oh, I'm already on that.

All I'm asking is that
we move these machines

to make room for the
new production equipment.

Yeah. No,
that's not the way we do things.

Nope, not the way we do things.

Not the way at all.

You're going to have to
take some concessions.

Oh, we're making
some damn concessions.

Like Gopher Day.

Gopher Day ?

Yeah. Local holiday.
First Friday in November.

We've always gotten it off before,
but we're all working this one.

Okay. If I close the plant
for Gopher Day at noon,

then come Monday morning
you'll start shifting equipment ?

Sure. You betcha.

- Yeah, okay.
- Great.

Happy Gopher Day.

Is there a problem here ?

You're damn right
there is a problem.

You know, Land O' Lakes was doing
just fine

before you greedy
'Munck-ees' captured it

and started killing off my loyal,
hardworking customers.

Listen, Flo.
I'm here to do a job,

just like I'd like you
to do your job now

by taking my order, okay ?

Great. Now that that's clear.

what's the special today ?

We got a 'go back to Miami
where you belong' special.

Oh, and, um...
Happy Gopher Day.

How lame ass do you have to be

to fall for something
as butt stupid as

thinking there is a Gopher Day ?

Shit. Who invited the boss lady ?

What do you want ?

I thought I might buy you a beer.

It's a free country.

A proactive approach
to streamline production

creates a win-win situation.

Of course,
it requires strategization

and advanced specialization.

Yeah.

This is really great, guys.
I'm glad we're finally dialoguing.

'D' word. Double shot.

Are you guys really interested in
discussing mechanization ?

Hell, yeah.

I'm really sorry, guys.
I meant for that to be a 'D' word,

so you could all do a double shot.

Way to ruin it, Maurice.

You know,
I am in charge of this plant

whether you like it or not.

I thought
this would be an opportunity

for us to bury the hatchet,

but instead you just turn me
into some dumbshit drinking game.

Thanks a lot, asshole.

Oh. Hiya, there.

It's official.

The lake's froze enough to drive on,
so Stu declared it a holiday.

Oh, he did, did he ?

And where can I find Stu ?

Who invited boss lady this time ?

You miserable son of a bitch.

Ice Day ? What ?
Gopher Day wasn't enough ?

Well, you've underestimated

who you're messing with,
Stu Kopenhafer.

You're fired.

Crap.

You can't fire Stu.

I can and I did.

Ice Day ? Just how stupid
does everyone think I am ?

What ? On a scale of one to 10 ?

The first day of ice fishing
is a state holiday.

Fine.
I fire him for insubordination.

Hang on a second.

Stu, he takes a little
while to warm up to folks,

but he's a really good man.

Good ?
Clearly we define that differently.

Look, I'm just trying to
help you out here, okay ?

Firing the plant foreman right
before Thanksgiving,

that's not going to
win you any friends.

Well, I'm here to do a job,
not make friends.

Stu's fired. Goodnight.

You expect me to believe that
every machine in the line

just broke down at the same time ?

Hmm.

And Thanksgiving's going to be
a white one. Oh, you betcha.

We're expecting another snowstorm
blowing in tomorrow afternoon.

Doesn't matter, I'm going to Miami.

That's right.

Come on. Oh, come on.

Oh, this is not good.

Okay.

He... hey!

I'm in... I'm in here!

Help! Help!

Help! I'm in here!

Thanks a lot, God.

- Come on.
- Okay.

I gotcha.

Okay. Hey!

Watch the hands,
Mr. Touchy-Feely Hands.

Don't flatter yourself.

I was just trying to
get you out of the car.

Hey, for your information,
I do not need a man to rescue me.

- All right.
- Okay.

♪ Oh, no, not l, I will survive!

Come on.

Let's get you home.

You know, you're not
so bad when you're... unconscious.

- Come on.
- Oh, yup.

- I got it. I got it.
- Got it.

- Are you okay ?
- Mm-hmm.

I got it. I got it.

I don't need to be carried
through my door

by some sexy fireman man.

You already gave me that lecture.
You think I'm sexy, huh ?

What ? Why would you think that ?

Because you just said it ?

Out loud ?

Here, let me help you.

- I got it.
- Hold on a minute.

- I got it. Look.
- Let me help you. Let me help you.

Don't get any ideas

I'm not. Are you okay ?

I'm fine.

You okay ?

Yeah. I'm fine.

This will be a good chance for you
to get out and about a little more.

Mm-hmm.

- Hi, girls.
- Hidey-ho.

We sold all your tapioca.

Oh, good.

How about that rescue ?

No wonder she's looking
twitterpatted.

Oh, getting saved
by a cutie-patootie like that,

no one could blame you for getting
a little crush, you know.

Crush ? Ted ? I don't think so.

Speaking of your rescue...
we made this.

You keep that in your truck.

It's got all our names
and numbers sewn in

so the next time
you have emergency contacts.

Oh, that's-that's beautiful.
You didn't have to do that.

We know, but we did it anyways,
and that's what matters the most.

Besides, just the thought
of you out there in that storm...

You must have been
scared out of your mind.

Well, I'm sure
I was never in any real danger.

Are you kidding ?

Folks around these parts
freeze to death all the time.

Especially the stupid ones.

It's nature's way of thinning out
the herd, if you ask me.

And that Ted,
he's a handsome devil.

Now he's bending over
to lift that hose.

Oh, will you just lookie there ?

They cannot handle that! Whoo!

How about that ?

- Hey.
- Hi.

Hey, listen, the other night,
uh, I was a little drunk.

I might have said some things.

Hey, you were great out there, huh ?

Come here
I am so proud of you.

You remember, uh, Lucy Hill ?
This is Bobbie.

Hi.

What's up ?

Crosschecked by the goalie.

Nice.

Um... it was great.

Blanche ?

Thank you for cashing in my ticket.

Oh, no trouble at all.
Oh, and listen,

your car is
all fixed up good as new.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

- A little something for you.
- Oh!

Oh, it's money.

It's a holiday bonus.
Don't you usually get one ?

Normally we exchange gifts,
but this is nice, too.

Oh, and listen

here's a little Merry Christmas
for you.

Oh, Blanche,
you didn't have to get me anything.

Oh, I didn't get it,
not like store-bought get it.

I made it. Here, open it.

- Thank you.
- You're welcome.

Just in case
you wanted to start scrapping.

To Lucy from Blanche.

That was your first day here,
remember ?

When did you take that ?

Oh, that was a while ago.
You looked like you had

the weight of the world
on your shoulders, so alone.

But you know, Lucy,
you're never really alone.

Jesus understands
what you're going through.

He's there for you.
So am l.

Hey, don't go getting
all misty on me.

Here, I got something else.

This ought to cheer you right up.

Some tapioca.

- Merry Christmas
- Merry Christmas, Blanche.

Can I have a hug ?

Oh.

Coming!

♪ Adore Him, Christ the Lord

♪ Sing choirs of angels

♪ Sing in exaltation

T ed is here for your meeting.

- Hi.
- Hi.

Thanks.

Well, isn't this a nice way
to start out the New Year...

'Auld Lang Syne',
resolutions and all that.

If I can get you two anything,
you two just say the word.

I got comp analysis here.

Okay.

Um...

before we get started,

I never had the chance to
clear the air after you saved me

from the snow bank.

I said a lot of rude things,
and I handled it badly.

No, I think you handled it fine.

You didn't try to get out of
your car, and that's good

because a lot of people,
they, uh, they try to walk for help,

and they end up dying that way.

You, uh, you were just
trying to keep warm,

although technically alcohol
isn't recommended.

And the red flag, that was...
that was brilliant.

No, I don't remember anything rude.

Well, I don't remember
saying thank you,

and that's hardly sufficient,
so thank you.

You're welcome.
So, comp analysis.

Yes, comp analysis.

Uh, okay, should we start
with the executive group ?

- Lucy!
- Returning your bowl.

Oh, what a nice surprise.
Come on in.

- Lucy's here.
- Oh!

- Hello.
- Oh, and just so you know,

I transferred it
to another container.

It's not like I ate it all
in one sitting or anything.

- We never do.
- Oh, stop.

Sit down.
Listen, it's not fattening.

Ever since Harve's been
on his crazy Atkins kick

I had to come up with
a couple of new recipes.

Don't even look at me,
Trudy Van Uuden.

You're not getting
my secret out of me,

but I will tell you, my tapioca

mainly low-fat milk
and whey protein.

- No way.
- Yes, whey.

Just in time, Lucy.
We're exchanging Valentine's cards.

We got yours.

Oh, you know I was just going to
forget that whole thing this year.

You know,
greeting card company holiday.

Here's for you.

Harve, would you get that ?

Maybe that's Cupid
looking for you right now.

Ha.

It's just Ted.

I got a...
I got a big problem.

I need a...
I need a woman's help on this one.

It's out... just out here.

Female trouble ?

Um, sort of. It's... it's the, uh,
Valentine's Dance, you know.

I... I just didn't think

it was going to be
that big of a deal.

Oh, honey, it's her first date.
Big deal doesn't even start.

Well, it's...
it's not like I didn't try.

- I bought her a nice dress.
- Nice ?

Pilgrims wore sexier outfits.

She's 13, okay ?
Sexy isn't on the menu.

Okay, is this about the dress ?

No, it's a little bit worse.

Worse than that outfit ?

Bobbie, did you want to come out ?

No. I can't be seen
in public, ever.

Oh, it's probably not
as bad as you think.

I took her to the beauty parlor.
They gave her... a perm.

Oh.

Maybe a couple of bows.

Scarves are in these days.

Oh, yeah! Good idea Trudy.

Ted, I can help but Bobbie will
have to come with me. Is that okay ?

Um, yeah.

Bobbie trust me.

Get in the car
and put your little hat back on.

Ladies, can we talk shoes ?

- They're heels.
- Little ones.

That's okay, right ?

My first heels.

Oh.

But they ain't going to
wear themselves.

They're perfect.

She like Cinderella and shit.

May I present Ms. Roberta Mitchell ?

Oh, wow.

Bobbie, you...
you look just like...

You're so... You're so beautiful.

Good evening, Mr. Mitchell.

- Hi, Waylon.
- Wow, Bobs. You look hot.

The hell she does.

- Here.
- That's my little girl.

There's nothing hot about her.

Gee thanks, Dad.

You know, I was 14 once, too.

So I know all about what's
going through your head right now.

And your pants.

Daddy! Ew!
Come on, your mom's waiting.

- Okay.
- Hey, hey, hey.

You're going to have her home
by 10:30, right ?

- Yeah.
- Okay. Hey, hey, listen.

I want you to remember something.

Whatever you do to my daughter,
I do to you

I think what your father meant to
say is 'go and have a good time'.

That's not what I meant actually.

That's not what I said.

That is so not what I meant at all.

Are you okay ?

I'm fine. I'm fine.
I'm just, uh...

I'm old.

My daughter
is starting to date, you know.

How did that happen ?
I don't feel so good.

I'm going to sit down for a minute.
I can't feel my feet.

Yeah.

I think I'm having a stroke.

You know what ? I might be...

I might be
having a heart attack, too,

because my hands are...
they... they're numb.

Is it your left hand or your...

or your right hand
with a heart attack ?

I can't remember which hand it is.

Ow.

So how did you know
I wasn't having a heart attack ?

Because I've seen this thing before.
My father was very overprotective.

So I guess this isn't how you
planned on spending your Saturday.

You know, nothing about Minnesota
has fallen into what I've planned.

I hear you.

You know, I used to
go to the factory a lot,

um, outside of Miami with my dad.

Uh, he knew everything about it,
inside and out.

Even the guys
in the suits would ask him

how to get things done, you know ?

I thought he was the boss.

I was really surprised, um...

He did maintenance at the plant.

You know, he really
drilled that into my head that,

you know, get an education,

and it's the only thing that
people can't take away from you.

Work hard and
do what needs to be done,

and maybe one day you'll be
the boss of a place like this.

Wow.

It's ironic, isn't it ?

Mm-hmm.

And how about you ?
How did you end up in New Ulm ?

The Mayo Clinic.

The Mayo Clinic ?

It's just...
it's a few miles from here.

I was...
I was born in North Carolina,

and I went to school in Auburn,

and I met my wife, Brenda, there.

It's funny. I say 'my wife',

and even though it's been what,
six years,

I still, um,
feel like she just ran out

to the store
to get something, you know ?

She was, um, diagnosed
with a degenerative heart defect

and they had this program
at the Clinic, and...

that became our life, really...
trips to the Clinic.

When the phone rang,
just hold my breath.

Wow.

Did you ever think about
moving back south ?

This was really the only home
that Bobbie ever knew, and...

she just lost her momma,
and it didn't seem fair for her

to lose her home and her friends
and her school and all that,

so...

- What time is it ?
- I don't know.

Well, you're finally home,

'cause all I've done
is sit here and worry.

It's not even 10:30.
Lucy, you're still here ?

Well, I had to make sure
he didn't get the shotgun out

if you were late.

And, uh, now that I've seen to that,

did you have a good time ?
Was it fun ?

It was all right.

You know, I am really sorry

about getting
all weird on you earlier.

It's okay.

I guess Ginny Linstrom's dad gave

the same creepy lecture
to Cliffie Morgan.

Thank you for everything.

- Goodnight.
- Goodnight.

Goodnight.

We're not as far
along on the automation

and downsizing as we had hoped.

That's because the robotic arms

are still in some warehouse
in Japan

and if we start to downsize

now we're not going to
have the workforce for installation.

Yeah, well,
this is costing us money.

I understand.
I will keep you apprised.

We'll talk next week then.

All right.

Goodbye.

- Lucy Hill.
- Hey, Lucy. It's Ted.

Listen,
I have this idea for Saturday.

I was thinking I could pick you up
around 8:00 in the morning.

Yeah, wear something
you can get dirty, okay ?

Something dirty ?

- Hey.
- Hi.

You, uh, might
want to put these on.

What is it ?

Crow hunting.
But I don't want to shoot a crow.

You don't have to shoot a crow.
You can just shoot at them.

It's a chance for you to get out.
You know, befriend the locals.

Stu ?

What's the chances of me
running into you out here ?

Holy balls.
Why'd you bring her ?

She said she wanted to get out
here and do a little shooting so.

Shooting ? You even
got shells there, girlie ?

Yeah. Yeah, I got shells.

Oh, it's a great day.

Almost.

Okay, that's it.
I've got to, uh...

- What ?
- I need to...

What are you talking about ?

I need to... pee.

You're kidding me, right ?

Oh, for crying in
a beer-cheese soup.

Are you such a city girl
you can't pee outside ?

You see, Stu, that's just one of
the advantages of being a city girl,

you don't have to.

Don't let the badgers
bite you in the ass.

Badgers ? Really ?

Is he serious ?

Just in case.

Oh, come on.

Ted!

Oh, right, right, right, right.

Okay, where is it ? Where is it ?
Where is it ? Where is it ?

Where ? Where ? Okay.

What ?

You can really show
a girl a good time, you know ?

Well, I'm trying to give you
a chance to patch things up,

if you would just be
a sport about it.

I'm being a sport.
I just-- I'm just stuck.

Well, then talk to him
about fishing, or something.

He loves fishing.
That's like his--

Not stuck for conversation.

I'm... I'm... I'm stuck
in your stupid overalls.

Hold on. Hold on, hold.

Turn around.

Don't move.

Stop moving.

Okay, hold on.

Hold on a second.

Hold on. Hold on. I got it.

Oh, that's not good.

Oh, my...

Turn around.

- No, wait. What ?
- No, no. For real, for real. Turn around.

- Well, what are you going to do ?
- Bend over.

What ? Well,
what are you going to do ?

Oh, okay. Okay.

- Bend over.
- Hurry. Just hurry.

Cool.

You could have
just cut the zipper.

Are you wearing a thong ?

You said something dirty.

I said wear something...

I said wear something
you can get dirty.

Just go!

And don't watch. Go!

God.

Go!

I'll be damned. Sober.

but I did hear they knew each other,
and they were definitely...

Sorry there, pal. I didn't figure
her for much of a shot.

Can you give me word
about Ted's condition ?

Yes, l... I understand
it's a... a... a lower body... injurv,

somewhere around
the, uh, the buttocks area.

Some said the shooting might
be lover's vendetta,

or that the woman is deranged.

Oh, that's great.

The lead story on the news
is my ass.

So you should sign off
on a spring mount there.

All right.

Very good.

Bobbie ?

How you doing ?

I'm okay.
How are you doing ?

Okay.

You, uh... you baked ?

Yes. I don't really bake,

but it seems to be the thing that
people do around here.

I'm sorry, again.

Ooh, cake!

Now you decide to show up ?

Hi, Bobbie.

I think that means
she forgives you.

Okay.

Why don't you come in ?

Mr. Arling on the line.

Oh, good.

Hey. Did you look over
the proposal ?

I know I can work with
the existing equipment.

What do you mean...

...no product line ?

You can't just decide like that.

I need to be in that meeting.

I understand. Okay.
I'll see you tomorrow.

Blanche, I need to get on
the first flight to Miami.

I'm going to need
my alternate production figures.

They'll be in
the confidential file in my desk.

The key is in the center drawer.

Okey-dokey artichokey.

Thank you.

The Rocket Bar's test
markets are tanking.

We're dumping the product line.

And the plant.

It's worth more to us
dead than alive.

Well, I disagree.
I think that would be a...

- terrible mistake.
- Lucy.

The people of New Ulm
are resourceful and hardworking,

and they could create
an opportunity for this company

that we should take advantage of.

Rocket Bars
were the opportunity.

Well then we'll
re-formulate and re-name them

and we'll-- and we'll
strategize with marketing

- until we can find a way to make...
- The product line is dead,

- and so is the plant.
- It doesn't make any sense to me.

We can't just write these
people's livelihoods off like that.

Lucy.

That's enough.

We need a timetable for shutdown.

We'll keep a skeleton crew on

until we move any remaining
physical assets off-site.

Blanche ?

You never said
anything about layoffs.

Oh. no.

I made that a long time ago.

I made that list
before I even knew you.

And that's okay ?

It's okay to pull the rug out
from under folks

as long as
it's nobody that you know ?

It's okay because we're just
silly podunk Minnesotans, right ?

We talk funny, and we ice fish,
and we scrapbook,

and we drag Jesus into
regular conversion,

and we're not cool like you, right ?
So we don't matter ?

And it's okay to lie

as long as you're just
pretending to be my friend ?

I didn't lie.
I just didn't tell you.

I mean, it is the same thing.

I guess I lied
but I wasn't pretending, Blanche.

You are my friend.

Folks need to know, you know.

They need to be able
file protest with the union.

Ted.

I had to tell him.

Maybe you can keep that
kind of thing secret, but I can't.

Blanche, it gets so much worse.

Oh, yeah ?
What could be worse ?

I just found out in Miami that
they want to close the plant.

I know that this is going to
sound like a hollow promise to you,

but I'm determined to--
to figure something out.

I really am. I mean,
there has to be something, right ?

I just... You just can't eliminate
people's livelihoods, you know.

Sure you can.
It happens all the time.

Look, this doesn't mean
that we're friends or anything

but when I get upset I cook,

and right now me and Harve
are up to our ears in tapioca,

so there you go, okay ?

Ted.

Is it true ?

Then we ain't got nothing to say.

Don't leave.

Please, I need you here.

To type pink slips ?

Besides, what's another couple of
months going to make a difference ?

I hope so.

Hey, let's talk tapioca.

Okay.

Go ahead.

Hiya, there.

We're doing market research
today on a new product

called Power Packed Protein
Pudding with Fortified Zappy-oca,

and that's your fourth
sample already.

That's enough
Zappy-oca for you, mister.

Keep them coming, Lucy.
It's like a stampede. Go ahead.

If you like it, just put in,
'l like it.'

Put a little nutmeg
on top if you like,

and if you don't like,
don't do it.

Everv last lassie a champion skier
of the first order.

That's called the forward swap.

What the hell
are you doing here ?

I'm here to see Stu.

What the hell
are you doing here, Flo ?

I live here.

Hey, Stanley!

Annie Oakley's here.

You and Flo.

Yeah. No. Yeah.
She's my ex-wife

and this is my ex-house,

and now I pay rent to
live in my ex-basement.

Ain't that a kick in the keister ?

So let's get back to
that part about

you giving me my old job back.

Corporate is
shutting down the plant.

Goddamn it!

- But...
- I knew this was going to happen!

I have a plan.

What the hell
is going on down there ?

None of your damn business,
you nosey old hoot owl!

We've come up with a new product.

If we can produce it and test
market it in four weeks, well, then

we can prove to corporate that
this plant is still worthwhile.

A month ?

Well, that's impossible.

You're... you're just going to
get everybody's hopes up,

and then they'll
all end up out of work anyway.

- See, I think...
- No. I am not taking the fall for that.

You...
you're on your own, lady.

So that's the plan,
and to make it work

we're going to re-commission
the old-fashioned yogurt equipment.

It's going to take
a lot of long hours.

How much overtime
you authorized for ?

- None.
- And if the 'Munck-ees' don't buy it,

we'll put in a whole lot of work and
end up out on our asses anyway.

Yeah. Yeah,
I'm not going to lie to you,

the odds are
that's what will happen

but if it's any consolation,

I'm going to be out of a job
right alongside the rest of you.

I mean, l...
I am betting my career on this.

Why ? I don't know.

When I came here, did I think

that any of this was going
to matter this much ? No.

But does it matter ? Yeah. Yeah,
absolutely. It matters a lot.

And you can sure betcha we'll be
out on our asses if we don't try.

You got something better
to do there, Lars ?

And I've got to say I don't
exactly picture prospective employers

Iining up to fight over
a dumb son of bitch like Bob.

They might padlock this place,

Iet the whole town come to rust

but if that's the way it goes

I don't want to be thinking
that this gal offered a chance

and I didn't do
a damn thing about it.

You can count me in.

They teach you that
in your management books ?

Is this a surprise compliance
visit from the union ?

Maybe. I heard about
what you're doing.

Look, I'm not sure
why I came here,

but maybe I can help.

Crank it a little bit more.
Yup. Crank it.

Little bit more.

All right, Bob. Turn it on.

Hold it. Turn it off, Bob. Great.

Hang on.
Trade me spots here, Ted.

Okay, go on. Get in there.

Okay, let's do this other one.

All right.

Turn it on, please.

Put it off, Bob.

That's funny.

- No, no, no.
- Yeah, that's funny, though.

- No.
- Yeah. That's all right.

Bob, do me a favor, please.

And I swear never to reveal
Blanche's secret tapioca recipe

to anyone from a rival company
or to Trudy Van Uuden.

- I swear.
- Good.

Mr. Arling from
the home office on line one,

and if you ask me
he doesn't sound any too pleased.

Donald, funny you should call.

Yes. Yes, Donald.

I do realize that I did this
with absolutely no authorization.

And don't think I'm not pissed.

You'd be out on your ass if those
regional tests weren't off the charts.

Of course, it doesn't hurt that

Wallace's grandkids
are big on the butterscotch.

This is Blanche Gunderson.

She's our Head of
Product Development.

Oh, Heaven's no. I'm just...

Oh, I'm pleased
as punch to meet ya.

- Yeah.
- Oh, I'm sorry.

- It's all right. It's okay. No.
- Dear.

Yeah. Yeah.

- Well
- Let's go.

They never would have thought

it would be more cost effective
to use the current labor force

and the old machine line than
robotics, but we showed 'em.

They want to ramp up production

and ship nationally
by the end of the month.

How does it feel to be
the newest Vice President ?

We'll expect you
in Miami next week.

- Hey.
- Hi.

How are you doing ?

I'm all right. How are you ?

I'm all right.

It's real noisy in there, so, uh,

I thought l'd, uh,
tell you goodbye out here.

You know, you, uh

you've done some
pretty amazing things around here.

Thank you.

Everybody in... in this whole town
is really going to miss you a lot.

Especially me.

So there's a lot of people in there
waiting to give you a big sendoff.

You don't want to miss that.

You might want to...

Yeah. Um

Uh so, I'll see you.

Yeah. I'll be...
I'll be in there in a while.

Okay.

It'll be nice getting back
to civilization.

How do people live here ?

How many Queens did you
plant in this deck, Maurice ?

Four or five,
give or take a couple.

Hey, fellas.

Ted, we got to talk.

Hey, Lena. Give me
a Maker's Mark, up.

Well, it looks like we're just too
successful for our own damn good.

I just got wind from Fagerbacci in
distribution. The plant's being sold.

Some muckity-muck from HQ
is coming to tell us about it.

Sold ?

Yeah, it's a heck of a deal.

Sure as shootin' they're going to
move our product line out of here

faster than thin
shit through a tall Swede.

I'm surprised your little

sweetie-pie Vice President
didn't send you the memo.

It's so ridiculous.

It's my secret, and now it's
being shipped off with the plant.

Yeah. Well, I'm not going to
accept anything less than

two weeks salary for
every year worked.

I understand that
you've heard of

Munck Foods' planned
sale of this facility.

Yeah.

Well, I've assembled
some industrial investors

to back us in buying this plant,
product line and all.

At a fixed rate, you'll buy
the new company back

until it is entirely owner-operated.

Well, how do we know
we can trust these guys ?

Yeah.

You won't have to.

You can trust me.

I want to come back
as this company's CEO.

Well, would you look at Miss CEO ?

As I recall, first
you got us to risk everything,

then you left us
behind, you know.

A... a... and then

you got them to buy the company
out right from under our feet,

and now you have this idea about

how we're supposed to buy
our own company back.

Well, that changes everything.

Are you prepared to deal
with the union on this ?

I'm sure we can come
to some agreement.

It's going to take a little bit of
time, too. It might take years.

My schedule is open.

Whoa, there,
buddy, you're not...

Hey, hey, I just got something
in my eye, damn it.

Now,

what about Johann Weinkoff ?

Why, he'd make you
a mighty fine husband.

He's got a lazy eye,

and I can never tell if he's looking
directly at me or my breast.

Probably. Iooking at both.

Now that I think about it
you're probably right.

Gone.

Oh, so hi there, Peter.

Here you go.

- So.
- Okay then.

- You have a nice day.
- Okay. Enjoy the weather.

- You too.
- Thank you much.
