Your governor's tryin' to use

my town as a political chip.

I resent that.

There could be some specific

benefits for you personally.

Josie!

- Yeah?

- Come here.

Meet these gentlemen

from the governor's office.

Come on in here, honey.

Honey, I want

you to meet Bill, uh...

Uh, Bob. Bob Bosenbeck.

Bob.

Dave.

My pleasure, Dave.

Right. Dave Hockner.

I don't want to interrupt.

Very nice to meet both of you.

Bye.

Bye.

Josie?

Josie!

You pull another stunt

like you did today,

I'll beat the livin'

daylights outta you!

All right, out!

Out of the vehicle, ma'am.

Get out of here!

Get out of the car!

Right on time!

Everything's going as planned.

You ordered a limousine?

Of course.

My first day of work.

How's it gonna look

if my dad drives me?

A little treat

for getting the job.

It was only fifty bucks.

- Right on time, Henry.

- Yes, sir.

Henry, the sign... very wrong.

Ciao!

Hey, Jim, where you going?

Hello, boys.

Going to Paris on an F-14.

Got a peace meeting with the

vice president of Bulgaria.

Business, you know?

Then I'm going to Venice,

for a spaghetti dinner

with the princess of Austria.

A beautiful lady...

really big bones.

Remember to brush

your teeth, Melvin!

You, too, Sidney!

Adis!

Jim is so cool!

Bobby.

Got a loose tile here.

In the morning...

take care of it.

I don't need a lawsuit, okay?

I've got enough to worry about.

Who's he?

Attention, shoppers.

The store will be closing

in five minutes.

Bring all your purchases

to the front.

- Are you a slacker?

- No, uh, Presbyterian.

What did you say?

What did you say?

I'm askin' you

a simple question.

- Are you lazy?

- No, sir.

The last guy that wore that uniform was

a lazy slacker, and I fired his butt.

Uh, about the uniform,

will I be getting my own?

You work out, which I doubt,

you can have a new name patch.

Would I be able to have it laundered?

It smells a little like Darnell.

I don't think you know

who you're messin' with.

After you clean the

ladies' and mens' crappers...

and you'd better be able

to eat off those bowls...

you clean my coffee maker,

then wax my desk.

Uh, clean what?

- Clean my coffee maker and wax my desk!

- I got it!

Sweep the aisles,

startin' with health and beauty.

Work your way over to

juniors and misses.

Ups and downs, leaving your

debris in the cross aisles.

So, I start with

health and beauty...

I just said to start

with health and beauty!

Then you do

your cross aisles.

That'll bring your

dust bin into play.

Take the debris.

Load it into the dustbin.

Take the dustbin out

to the loading dock...

and empty it into

the receptacle.

- Got that? Easy as pie.

- Yeah.
