I go to the hairdresser's today.

Can you pick up the kids?

Sure.

And we need groceries.

You can do both at once.

Buy some pudding powder, for sure.

- To cook?

- Yes, that one.

- And bread, milk, bologna...

- Write a list.

Okay.

And we got a new quality inspector.

Maria something-or-other...

Yes, that's her.

You're not serious.

She is precise as hell...

No, whoever you send us is fine.

Okay, I'll tell her.

We've got a problem.

It's holiday season

and we're lacking two people

for the night shift.

Looks like we've got a new cock

in the henhouse.

You were a pole dancer...

Look...

He's met his match.

Good morning, I'm Sndor Mark.

I've come from the robotics department.

So the good doctor will...

stamp me.

- He's making a fool of her!

- So what?

- Pista, what's going on here?

- The cops are here.

- I can see that. So?

- I don't know.

But I can only let employees in.

Go upstairs,

they're interviewing everyone.

- What did Pista say?

- The cops are here.

- Who are they after?

- How should I know?

This is very awkward,

I have no idea who it might be.

Not even a wild guess!

The cabinet was locked.

Nothing like this has ever happened.

There's nothing more I can say.

There's no point. It's full of prints.

Istvn, get the lady to the office.

This way, please.

- Relax, it'll be fine.

- You got a tissue?

No.

Sorry about this...

He's never been

to a slaughterhouse before.

Yes, one has to get used to it.

These people are authorized

to have access to the medicine cabinet.

One of them is me.

It could have been one of us.

What is this mating powder, anyway?

Is it really that strong?

It's strong, and works fast, too.

A mating is done in 3 minutes.

It's not so funny for us.

- I hope we can settle this quietly.

- A story like this? No way.

When I heard the story about

that 50th class reunion, well I...

It does get your instincts going.

But jumping at each other

in the restaurant, like crazed animals?

It was developed for cattle.

A bull weighs in around 400 kilos.

Boss? Where should I...?

A quick result would be nice.

We don't want this to happen again.

Are you feeling better?

Do you have mental hygiene

screenings here?

Sure, every year.

The next one is in 2 months.

Splendid!

Has anyone's behavior changed recently?

I mean, anyone acting weird? Unhinged?

It's hard to tell

from up here in the office.

Listen, run the annual screening now.

Let me recommend someone.

She's worked for us in the past.

Okay, but...

who'll pay for the psychologist?

Us, or...?

Well, it's worth the price, right?

The steak is in the striped bag.

Well, are you satisfied?

I beg your pardon.
