Joe Somebody Page #3

We got a bunch...

- We're gonna edit...

- Dad, just tell me something.

Is it you don't wanna see me?

Or is it you don't want me to see you?

Yes to the... the second one.

Dad, please just let me

come over,

- just for a little while.

- It's okay. Everything's all right.

I'm just... I'm just sittin' here

drowning my sorrows in a...

a quart o' Ben and Jerry's

Chunky Monkey.

So, let's see.

Either you're lying

or you've grown an ovary.

How old are you again?

Dad, I'm scared.

What are you scared of?

I'm not sure.

I just... just miss you.

It's gonna be okay, Natalie,

I promise. It's gonna be fine.

Okay. Your turn.

What are you scared of?

Disappearing, I think.

Hang on a second!

Hang on.

Hi.

Are you smoking?

Please. Like the coordinator of the

company wellness program would smoke!

Right!

You should've come with me

to the Human Resources Conference.

Hawaii... It was... It was amazing.

I brought you a little... something.

"George Kahumoku, Jr.

Sings Hawaiian Love Songs."

- You don't have it, do you?

- No.

So, so, I-I'm gone for three days and employees

are fighting like, uh, schoolkids in the parking lot.

I mean this McKinney, I know everybody hates

that, uh, big jerk. But this Joe, uh, Shepherd guy...

- Scheffer.

- Scheffer. Yeah.

Joe Scheffer.

He did the video

for the wellness program last year.

- Remember?

- Oh, he's the A-V guy.

- Video communications specialist.

- Ooh! Well, that's... that's very different then.

Actually, Jeremy,

he's a good guy.

I ran into him the other day.

He's quiet, hard-working...

Maybe a little shaky right now.

He's going through a divorce.

- Oh.

- It's really sad actually.

He kept telling me how great...

Any work-related problems

prior to the incident?

Well, he was promised a promotion

almost a year ago, and never happened.

So, basically,

he's a schmuck.

The guy's a devoted father,

a hard worker

with nothing but positive reviews.

That makes him a schmuck?

Well, his wife left him.

He was passed over for a promotion

and he just got b*tch-slapped

in the company parking lot.

I'm gonna go with... yeah.

So, what are we doin' about it?

Well, "we" have left him several

messages. I'm waiting...

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa.

That's not enough. It's been three days.

Meg, we're under review.

The efficiency Nazis are all over us.

Employees fighting in the

parking lot sort of... undercuts

the-the company wellness program,

if you know what I mean.

- Do you think I'm not doing my job properly?

- It doesn't matter what I think.

But what if he decides to sue?

What if he... sues the living daylights

outta the company for, uh, failure

to create a safe work environment,
