Demoted Page #5

---

like working for you, we're better off.

You think I'm that stupid?

- ( Both laugh )

- I fire you and you walk out of here

with great, big

severance packages.

- That sounds good to me.

- I bet it does.

Yeah, well, you can kiss that

wet dream goodbye,

'cause you're not being fired.

Instead...

you're being demoted.

Demoted?

Are you kidding?

To what? Interns?

What, are you gonna

make us janitors?

( laughs )

How about secretaries?

Yeah.

( laughs )

Who's laughing now?

Not you two.

Right here,

this is an honest,

genuine laugh.

( laughing loudly )

Hey, hey, hey,

what are you doing?

What does it look like I'm doing?

I'm packing up my sh*t.

Yeah, don't you think

we should talk about this?

There's nothing to talk about.

Demoted to secretaries? F*** that.

We're out of here.

I know exactly what you're thinking,

but don't worry.

Everything's gonna be fine.

We're gonna grab some breakfast,

charge up the old batteries,

hit the pavement,

and find some new jobs.

Everything will be hunky-dory.

Who wouldn't hire us?

I'm gonna be honest with you,

gentlemen--

your resumes aren't great.

It does look like you have some

decent sales experience here.

Is there someone I could call

over at Treadline,

maybe a reference

of some sort?

( Clears throat )

A reference?

Yeah, that's-- that's gonna be

a bit of a problem.

Our reference sort of died.

( Chuckles )

Yeah, it's a long story.

There was drinking

and strippers

and we might have

inadvertently killed him.

Rodney:
No criminal charges

have been filed of any kind.

- We're not sure.

- No, no.

- I'm pretty sure we're in the clear.

- Well, we're not totally sure,

so fingers crossed.

- Get the f*** out of here.

- Thank you.

Mike:

This sucks.

Rodney:
What if this is just temporary?

Maybe I can fix this.

A couple of days,

a week or two at the most--

bam!

We get our old jobs back.

What if you can't fix it?

What if we're stuck being secretaries?

Rodney:
Relax.

How bad can this be?

We start at 8:
00 a.m. sharp,

finish at 6:
00,

15-minute breaks

and half-hour lunches.

I hope that's not going

to be a problem.

Yeah, actually, we're more

on the 9:
00 to 5:00 schedule.

Farrell was cool with that.

Sometimes 10:
00 to 4:00,

depending on if we're hung over.

He's dead.

You're on my schedule now--

8:
00 a.m., no excuses.

And try to look

a little more professional.

I prefer comfort

to professional.

Maybe you prefer

my foot up your ass.

Let's motor on.

We're expected to keep this break room

neat and tidy at all times.

Yes, we're the little elves that wash

the dishes in that sink.

We're expected to keep

the donuts stocked

and the coffee fresh
