Employment Agency sent me.

I never worked a juicer.

No, sir.

- Are you a college boy?

- Yeah. I graduated from Brooklyn College.

- Good morning, Herb.

Good morning, Mr. Elkins.

How do you feel?

- I had a bad night.

You ate some crap yesterday.

- Right or wrong?

- Well, uh...

for lunch.

You hear that?

He ate a poison sandwich for lunch...

and he wonders

if he's in pain!

[Sighs]

I'll fix you a cabbage

and a carrot juice.

That'll take care of today.

But do me a favor.

If you go on poison tonight,

don't come back.

I'm not a magician.

- Helen. Get me an apron.

- What?

Show him

how to work the juicer.

- What's your name?

- Larry.

- First and last, please.

- Lapinsky. Larry Lapinsky.

You got the job,

Larry Lapinsky.

But you never worked a counter

Right.

So what are

you standing around?

- Let's get to work.

- Okay.

- What's this?

- Spinach.

- And what's this?

- It's a carrot.

Good thinking. Now, make me

a carrot and spinach juice right away.

Watch the hand!

Accidents I need. Get in there. Here.

Follow us, my dears.

She didn't call back.

- Hey, what's up?

- Anita Cunningham is committing suicide.
