And then track down

the blonde.

She's wearing this,

um...

It's like an American flag

kind of thing.

It's draped all over her,

uh...

I don't know what.

Set up a meeting.

She's...

she's really...

she's patriotic.

The video was directed

by a she...

What the hell?

...Tracy Janowitz.

And you're a little late.

She signed a 3-picture deal

with Universal.

What the hell?

And as far as the blonde...

What are you doing?

Don't you think

she's a little young...

even for you?

What are you doing?

What are you doing here?

Jesus Christ.

You scared the living sh*t

out of me.

You're lucky

I didn't shoot you.

With what? This?

Oh, great.

My gun. Hand it over.

Sit.

Have you gone

completely insane?

Give me the gun now!

Sit the f*** down

now!

Ok, look, I know things

have been a little crazy

at the office lately,

but there's

no need for this.

Now, why don't you

put down the gun,

and let's talk?

We're both

rational adults here.

Bullshit.

You are a f***ing child.

All right, fine. I gave you

a chance, you know.

But it's late, and

I'm tired of this bullshit.

I'm calling the cops,

and you're going to jail.

End of story.

Have a nice life.

What do you want?

I want you...

to think...

and remember...

every insult...

every offense...

everything that you have

ever taken away...

from me.

Think to yourself.

It's payback time.

It's currently

and it's shapin' up to be

a great weekend, everyone.

'Course, you gotta make it

through the week first,

but if you do,

you can look forward

to the third annual

celebrity tractor pull

at the Pomona fairgrounds

this weekend.

Tickets are--

Hi. How are you?

F*** you. You're in my spot.

Could you move?

Ok.

Sorry about that.

I didn't realize

that was your spot.

I slaved 3 miserable years

to get that spot.

It's mine. I earned it.

It's a great spot.

As soon as I pulled in,

I thought, "wow,

what a great spot."

I'm Guy, by the way.

What is this, your first day

on the job or something?

Yes. Yes. As a matter

of fact, it is.

Yeah, well,

piece of advice.

Lose the smile.

Makes you look

like a schmuck.

Hello.

Buddy Ackerman's office.

Oh, uh,

h-hold on one second.

Here.

Ready to go to work,

I see.

Oh.

Buddy Ackerman's office.

No, Derrick,

he's not here right now.

No, that's not what I said.

I said he's not here right now

at this moment in time.

Mm-hmm.

Gonna miss you, too, Derrick.

Buddy Ackerman's office.

Yes, I know the meeting

has started, ma'am.

I'll send him down

as soon as he gets here.

Thank you.

Buddy Ackerman's--

ooh, hey, Mona.

How are you,

gorgeous?

Of course you and Buddy

are on for tonight.

Just get your cute little butt
