amazing! How come you only wrote one?

Writing was a dream I had

when I was a kid. And then I grew up.

But dreams are important

to hold on to! Come on!

You're gonna be a great writer.

You have that special spark.

I know that, but that spark is gonna go out

unless you write. Now write this. Write, write.

Hey, watch it, ass... guy.

Nice save.

- You all right?

- Yeah, I'm fine.

- What's his hurry?

- He's just a lunatic.

- It's so crowded.

- I think they manufacture people here.

Below, in the basement,

they make people.

- Look, look, look, look, look.

- Oh, wait, she's pullin' out.

- Hey! That guy's an ass-wipe!

- Natalie.

Sorry.

I meant "ass-guy".

That's Mark McKinney.

He's a seven-year employee.

Wh-wh-what's he doing

in the ten-year lot?

Maybe he's gonna stand around

for another three years.

No, he's not.

I'll be right back.

- Excuse me. Mark?

- Yeah.

Yeah... This is a...

a-a ten-year lot.

And... you're not a

ten-year associate, are you?

- You're kiddin', right?

- No.

No, no, no, this is actually

the ten-year lot.

And, uh, this is the last space,

and if I don't park here,

my... my daughter and I will have

to come way over from the west lot.

You actually brought

your daughter to work...

Yeah.

I thought only the mothers

were doin' that.

I'd just appreciate it

if you'd park someplace else.

You know

what I think, um...

- What's your name again?

- Joe Scheffer. I work in the Communication...

You know what I think, Joe? I think

walkin' from the west lot

is probably better than gettin' your ass

kicked in front of your little girl. Dont' you?

W-wait a minute, wait a minute!

Are you.. are you like threatening to hit me?

- Tell you what, Joe.

- Uh-huh.

I'm gonna give you to five

to get back into your car.

No. I'm not gonna... No.

- No. No, look, this is the ten-year lot.

- One...

- Do you have any idea of the crap...

- Two...

... I've been through to earn

that little piece of black... Oh!

- Daddy! Daddy!

- Stay in the car! Sta in th car.

Turn around,

and get back in your car.

- That's my space! Oh!

- Daddy!

Daddy! Daddy!

- Leave 'im alone, dirtbag!

- Don't call anyone a dirtbag.

- Daddy, are you okay?

- I'm good.

- You're bleeding.

- So this I just tripped.

I'm okay. Let's go. Let's go.

I think maybe I'm just

gonna take you to school.

Hi. You've reached

the Scheffers.

Wait for the beep.

Dad, pick up.

Dad, it's been two days.

- Hey!

- Dad?

Are you okay?

- Yeah, I'm... I'm great.

- You don't sound great.

Mom and Rick have friends

over for yoga.

So I can.... I-I-I can sneak out

and be home in no time.

No, no. No, Nat.

Um, I got, um...

Friends from, uh...
