We did a job out here

the other night, buried a truck.

Sure you did.

Yeah. We had a hot truck.

We chopped it up, put it

in these little baggies...

and they sent it off

to be buried.

Friday night? Yeah, I saw that.

Some bozo was here

barking at everybody.

See you.

What did he want?

He's a friend of Wesley's.

My windshield wipers broke.

You think you could ask Drew

to take a look at it?

He's got two cars ahead of you,

but I'll ask him.

Thelma,

your hair looks different.

I gave my daughter my good wig.

Her hair is falling out.

They give her them treatments.

Do you know they're making

my daughter die...

next to a colored person?

Come here. Go like that.

There.

I like your hair

that color, Thelma.

But this here is my bad wig.

It ain't human hair or nothing.

You and Drew

ought to settle down.

Stop people talking about us.

I don't care about that stuff.

- What stuff?

- The pot.

Yeah. The pot.

And the kind of sex.

The kind of sex.

Oh, God.

Gilda, how did it go?

We had to go to my

mother-in-law's after church.

She served up this casserole...

that she'd been

slow cooking for three days.

We've both been

up sick all night.

You were supposed

to work my shift yesterday!

Karen, they shut down.

Say what?

There was a contamination

in our section.

When?

Right after you left.

Karen, I'm not saying this

to upset you...

but you ought to know

they're saying that you did it.

I did it?

They knew you wanted

the weekend off.

Gilda, that is so dumb.

I know.

I hope you enjoyed

your weekend, Karen.

Sh*t!

Monitor yourself on the way out.

Did you hear about this thing?

Why don't we talk

about it at lunch?

I hate people

talking about me that way.

Then quit and

live on your savings.

Somebody contaminated

your section.

Why would anybody

think I did it?

Whoever did, it wasn't funny.

I brung your plastic, Drew.

Thanks, Zachary.

You could have done it

a lot easier than I could've.

Anybody could have done it.

Well, it wasn't me!

Here's Quincy.

Here's the head of the union.

Talk to him. The union

will get you out of this.

Yeah, sure, OK.

The company has

got to blame somebody.. .

otherwise, it's their fault.

What are you looking at,

Zachary?

Get lost, OK?

Karen, you ever thought

of going into politics?

I am really not interested.

Come on. Try Karen.

A**hole.

No! I'm scared!

I'm scared!

I don't want to die. No!

Just stay calm. Come on.

Thelma's cooked.

I said Thelma is cooked.

Sh*t.

Did they take her

down to decon yet?

I think so.

- You can't go in there.

- Come on, Earl!

Karen! Get on out of there!

She wants me here.

Oh, God!

This is just to take off

the contamination.
