Breakin' All the Rules Page #2
- No, wait a minute.
I was just doing the research. I didn't
know you were about to fire people.
Yeah. No, no.
Well, see, I thought I was clear.
- No, no.
- Well, then that's my error. All right.
- Sorry. Sorry.
- Okay. Okay.
- Well, let me know how it goes.
- Mr. Gascon, listen.
- I am not comfortable with this.
- Well, of course not.
To feel comfortable,
you'd have to be a monster.
- Yeah, yeah.
- No, you're no monster. Neither am I.
- Right, right.
- I just happen to be in the position...
...to delegate, and you are not.
Hey, good luck.
- Quincy. What's happening, man?
- Hey, nothing.
- You look awful.
- Thanks.
- Looks like it was quite a blowout.
- Yeah, I was blown out.
- All right. So, what's up?
- This and that.
- This and that?
- Yeah.
- Sandra said you wanted to see me.
- Yeah.
- So it's like that, huh?
- Look...
That's cool.
Sh*t!
- Make sure Mr. Gascon gets this.
- Sure.
Q.
Q. Come on, open up the door, man.
Oh, Q. Man, what you wearing, Q?
- You know, it feels good on my skin.
- You gonna let me in?
- What you want?
- That's for what.
Your mother,
my auntie's been calling me...
...every day early for a week.
- You can't call her?
- Been busy.
- You been busy?
- I've been busy.
- Move out...
- Watch the piss.
- What's that?
- You so in a hurry, you ain't looking.
Oh, no. No, no, no.
- See, this is disturbing, Q.
- Kind of a mess, huh?
It's like an outer extension of disease.
Where's your stuff?
Helen, you know, she took some stuff.
Took a TV.
Left me with the dog and a
half-naked picture of herself. Just evil.
- I gave her everything but my soul.
- And I bet they want that too.
- Just greedy.
- Don't give it to them.
All you gotta do is pretend
to give it to them.
Why do I have to pretend?
Why can't I just be me?
Nobody finds pathetic charming.
Was that cheese? Okay, look,
But you got to pull yourself
together, bro.
- I been writing.
- You been writing?
Letters to Helen. A few letters.
How many letters, Q?
- I could not get the right tone.
- No, how many letters?
I just kept obsessing over the way
she left me and what she told me.
Then it came to me, with my
employee-termination research...
...that if Helen was my boss,
then the way she fired me was bad...
...bad in every way. Public humiliation,
conflicting messages, horrific timing.
Oh, yeah, I wrote a letter.
I wrote a letter detailing the disgust
I have at her method and technique.
Her method and her technique
for dumping you?
- Exactly.
- Oh, okay, man. Where is this letter?
- I'm calling your mom.
- Wait.
No, that is a scream for help.
