First, his soon-to-be floor manager acquires a serious injury in a machine malfunctioning accident that subsequently endangers the wellbeing of his company. Second, his personal life doesn't fair much better when he takes the advice of his bartending friend Dean during a drug-induced brainstorming session on how to test his wife's faithfulness.

Now, Joel must attempt to piece his company and his marriage back together all while trying to figure out what he's really after in life.

for more personal days.

Just like that.

I told her maybe if she figures out

how to fill out her timesheets correctly,

I will give her more personal days.

Don't worry. She will never fill out

her timesheets correctly.

I better get out of here.

Got to beat

that 8:
00 sweatpant-deadline thing.

Oh, sh*t. Do not notice me.

Do not notice me. Just go back inside.

Go back inside.

God damn it! Hey.

Hey, Joel. Glad I caught you.

How have you been?

I'm in such a hurry right now, Nathan.

Yeah? You've been busy?

Yes. Very, very, very busy.

And I'm so busy right now,

I gotta go make a phone call.

Gotta call the office

before they all leave for the day.

Yeah. Hey, listen.

Real quick, while I've got you here,

what are you guys doing

November 17th?

On the 17th? Um...

On the 17th,

I think that we're out of town.

Oh, yeah? Where you going?

(CLICKS TONGUE)

- Um...

- Wait a minute. I meant the seventh.

You guys will definitely

be in town then, right?

Yep.

Great. Leslie and I are going

to this dinner.

It's an annual thing.

We go every year with the Rotary Club.

It's for charity.

It's just a whole lot of fun.

And we would like to invite you

and Suzie

to be our guests at our table...

Nathan, I just... I don't think that that's

something that we're gonna want to do.

- Really?

- Yeah.

Why not? It's a lot of fun.

I don't know.

Suzie doesn't like going

to those kinds of things.

Why not?

We wouldn't know anybody,

and she gets really uncomfortable.

- Oh, it's not like that.

- Sure it is.

No, she won't feel uncomfortable.

It's not formal or anything.

It's just a real loose bunch.

You know, I...

Tell you what. Why don't we do this?

I'm gonna go ahead

and buy those tickets,

since they're gonna sell out fast.

You talk to Suzie. See what she says.

Maybe I'll have Leslie give her a call.

You know how it is

when the wives start talking.

(CHUCKLING)

- I can almost hear it...

- We're gonna talk about this later.

Got to make the call.

Sorry, Joel, I almost forgot.

The tickets are $40 a plate.

Now, I know that's a little bit steep,

but the food is fantastic.

So, that's $80 total.

There's no tax or anything.

Nathan, I really gotta get inside

and make this phone call.

You and I are gonna talk about this

some other time, okay?

You go do that. Hey, Joel?

If you want us to look out

after the house

while you're gone or anything,

we can do that.

- I appreciate that.

- Okay. Yup.

Hey, where you guys going, anyway?

We're going on vacation.

Gosh, I tell you, Leslie and I would love

to go on a vacation with you guys.

(SIGHS)

I gotta go.

All right, then.

I appreciate it, Nathan.
