You got the experience.

GIRL:
Ooh.

-Ha, ha.

Thank you, you're very kind.

JOEL:

Hey, listen to you guys.

I mean, doesn't anyone

wanna accomplish anything?

Or do we just wanna make money?

Make money.

GIRL:
Just make money.

-Yeah.

Make a lot of money.

What about you, Joel?

Serve my fellow mankind.

-Oh, please.

JOEL:
Ha-ha-ha!

GLENN:

Get out of here.

Profit motive.

[STUDENT COUGHS]

Competition.

Free enterprise.

Is there any company that doesn't have

a product in production?

JOEL [WHISPERING]: We're falling behind.

-You haven't been helping.

-You wanted to be the production exec.

-Bullshit.

Every sales manager I know

helps with production.

Yeah? Like who?

Just help me with the production.

Forget it. I'm busy enough

with marketing and sales.

How can you be busy with marketing

when I haven't given you the product?

Barry, just bring the goddamn thing

over tonight.

BARRY:
I didn't wanna do this.

I thought it'd look good on my record.

[DOORBELL RINGS]

GLENN:
Hi.

-Hi, Glenn. What's up?

Uh, I heard your parents were away.

Yeah.

I thought maybe

I could borrow a room?

Well, um, Barry is here

and we're working.

Ha. We won't bother you.

We don't have anywhere to go.

You know how it is.

Sure, go ahead. Take my room.

-Great.

-Thanks, Joel.

Ready?

The "Memo-Minder."

Okay, here's how it works.

Let's say a call comes in.

It's for your mom.

Fairly important. What do you do?

You write the message down here,

hit the switch...

...you've got the light. Okay?

Now, another call comes in, and this one

is for your dad and it's really important.

You're gonna get your ass kicked

if he misses it, so, what do you do?

[MOANING UPSTAIRS]

Write the message down there,

hit position two. Boop.

[MEMO-MINDER BEEPING]

One eighty-six in parts,

sell it for 9.95 and make a fortune.

[MOANING CONTINUES]

I can't concentrate with this.

This is really annoying.

[THUMPING UPSTAIRS]

It's ridiculous.

I'm getting out of here, Barry.

[JOEL SIGHS]

Lock the door when you leave,

okay, Glenn?

If you read me, grunt twice.

[GLENN AND GIRL GRUNT TWICE]

Thank you.

[ENGINE SPUTTERS, DIES]

[ENGINE STARTS]

I can't believe Glenn bringing

Statwiler over like that.

-Why?

-Because he boffed Hendricks last week.

-He did?

-Yes.

And then, after the game Saturday,

he f***ed her.

-Barry?

-What?

Boffing and f***ing are the same thing.

They are?

Ha-ha-ha.

Yeah. What did you think it was?

-I thought it was something else.

-Ha-ha-ha!

You sure on this?

I'm positive.

[LAUGHING]

Sh*t.

[ENGINE REVS]

GIRL:

Hey.

-Sublime breasts.

-They're what kind of breasts?

-Sublime breasts.

-Sublime breasts.
