about the losers who drink beer...

...and drive pickup trucks?

Yeah.

How about polka?

It's got something for everybody.

That's it, Harve,

you're exactly right. Bingo.

I like beer.

I drive a pickup.

I should have known.

You probably drive a new car

for what it says about you...

...when what it says about you...

...is how you bow down to the big

corporations that made a gravy train.

And would anybody like

more gravy?

Trudy? Kimberley?

Industrial competition in a free-market

economy is what built this country.

No, robber barons built it, and they

did it from the blood of working folks.

If you steal somebody's car,

you get thrown in jail.

If you steal life savings,

you get to be a CEO.

I'm planning on being a CEO.

You better count the silverware

before she leaves.

I'm leaving now.

- Not if I leave first.

Come on, baby.

- I've got Snickerdoodles with tapioca.

Thanks for dinner.

- Thanks for dinner.

Totally awesome.

Miss Hill.

Stu Kopenhafer, plant foreman.

I'm supposed to show you around.

Milk processors, cooking facilities.

Curdling vats, slop sinks...

...auxiliary refrigeration,

more slop sinks.

Storage racks over there.

Conveyor belt.

This is your main production floor.

I'd really like to speak

with the workers.

Where can I do that?

Bob.

What are you waiting for?

Greetings, New Ulm.

I'm here to usher in a new phase.

This is a great opportunity.

I'm here to reconfigure

for the initialization of Rocket Bars.

This will be an exciting utilization

of new branding...

...for capitalizing

on a highly profitable demographic.

Cut to the chase.

We don't give a fart on a muggy day

what you're making us make.

Tell us how many you're planning

on laying off.

Management at Munck Foods

in Miami has sent me here...

...to conduct mechanization

and modernization procedures.

Yeah, you Munck-ees all say

that crap.

But every time one of you comes,

we end up losing jobs.

Well, I'm interested

in the jobs we'll create.

If you're not, that's fine, but I'll expect

you to implement the changes...

...in a timely manner.

Okay?

Oh, yeah, well, nice try, Trudy.

No, you're not getting

that recipe out of me.

Because I...

All right, listen, gotta go.

Okay, yeah.

Let me jump.

Yeah, okay, I know.

I'll give it to you later.

Okay, bye-bye then. Yeah, bye.

Oh, good morning.

Sorry about that.

That was Trudy. She's always trying

to get my tapioca recipe out of me.

Yeah, well, I doubt that your tapioca

recipe is gonna affect the plant.

So let's just stick to work

if we could.

Oh, okay.

Oh, listen, sorry about being late.

Billy had a run-in up at the school.

Had to go talk to the principal,
