Joe Somebody Page #4

or, uh, uh, emotional distress?

I mean...

But-but you and me, Meg...

Megs, we're on the same... page.

We're the A-Team. We can

make this go away. I know we can.

- I'll call him again.

- No, no, no, no. That time has passed.

- You go get Joe Schlepper.

- Joe Scheffer.

Joe Scheffer.

- Go get him?

- Go get him.

- At his house?

- At his house.

Go get him...

Go get 'im at his house and bring im

back to work. I know you can do it.

- Megs?

- Yeah?

- Yeah, go get 'im.

- Yeah.

Bye-bye.

Hi, Joe.

Have you, uh, you left the house at all

in the past three days?

- I had some cleaning to do.

- Mm-hm. I can see that.

Is that, uh...?

It's bleach, huh?

It's the only thing

that really gets the stains out.

Yeah.

- Would you hold that for a minute?

- Sure. Um... Joe.

We'd really like for you

to come back to work.

You and I can work through

this thing together.

Do you think this will dry

darker than the rest of the ceiling?

- No, I think...

- If this dries darker than the rest,

then I'm gonna notice

there's a stain up here.

I'm always gonna look

at this stain right here.

I'd have to paint the whole ceiling.

I might as well do that right now.

Joe... Joe... Joe, could you please

slow down for a minute?

I would really like

to talk to you about this.

- What's... in the bag, Joe? Is that bottles?

- No.

Oh!

I'm gonna need more bleach.

I would really like to help you.

Please... Joe.

He took something from me.

Your parking space.

But it's not exactly your parking

space that he took, now, is it, Joe?

Yes, it is. It's exactly that.

It's my parking space. That's what it is.

How 'bout when you come back to work,

we give you an assigned space, huh?

- I can't go back.

- Why not, Joe?

Would you mind not saying

my name so much?

Maybe you could just come in

for a couple of hours...

I'm sorry... I can't.

- McKinney's been suspended, Joe.

- You said my name again.

Fine! Okay, fine. I-I will never

say your name again... ever.

Look, McKinney's not coming

back for a few weeks, Joe.

And then he has to attend my five-step

anger diffusion workshop called "RELAX".

- That stands for... Releasing...

- It doesn't matter.

No. Uh, Regulating Emotional

Levels And... "X." What the hell is "X"?

- I'm not comin' back.

- Do you think...

... that you could not...

- It just doesn't matter what you say.

- Oh, geez! What do you want?

Oh.

I'm sorry.

Did you say

"What do you want?"

I'm-I'm taking this too personally.

Things have been really difficult

in our department, and I need...

What do I want?

I need you to come back.

Joe?

Joe?

You're having a panic attack.

Joe, do you know

what that means?
