People I swear...

Honey, are you okay?

You look terrible.

- I'm okay, I didn't

sleep very well last night.

Um, do you know what

the story is with

the new dog in pod 14?

- Oh, the poor thing.

Someone just dumped him

here Sunday night.

Tied up to

the front door.

He's in bad shape.

Are you sure

you're okay?

I don't know.

I love you so much.

- I'm excited to meet

your grandma.

- Yeah, she's excited

to meet you, too.

Wait...

Isn't she...

I can't remember if...

- The phone's ringing...

Aren't you going

to answer it?

Yeah.

Where is the phone?

Where's the phone?

Where are my pants?

- Hello?

- Eli...

The phone. Do you

wanna get it?

- What?

- The telephone. I

think its Manforce,

do you want to get it?

- Yeah, hold on.

- The company is called

Metro Estate Movers

and their office is at:

Street.

Your contact

there is Noel.

- Okay. Noel.

Alright, I'll head

right over.

- Have a good

day at work!

- Thank you.

- Man, with all

this temping

its almost like

you have a real job.

- Yeah and it

totally sucks, too.

- Aw. So much for

your theory

of the unemployed

blissful life style.

- Yeah, well these

student loan people

are starting to circle

like sharks.

Its starting to look

like I might

need to do something

with my life.

- Like temping?

- That's harsh, Aubrey.

No, I want to be a

substitute teacher.

But I can't get my

teaching certificate

until I get my degree.

I can't go back

to school until

I get this debt

paid off.

- Sounds like a

vicious cycle.

- Totally.

- If only Chloe

would get me a

production assistant job

on one of her film shoots.

- Wouldn't that go

against your

anti-corporate stance?

After all the crap

you've given me

about working for the

evil corporate

media machine?

- These debt collectors

are making me

rethink the whole

anti-corporate thing.

Or...

Maybe I can just

work on commercials

for bikes.

Or community gardening

centers or something.

- Yeah...

When's the last time

you saw a community

gardening commercial?

- Well, even if

they made those

I doubt they'd be

the jobs that pay

What am I saying?

As if I'll ever make

Sh*t, now watch...

I'm gonna be late

for my 9-dollar-an-hour

furniture moving job.

- Hey, its your turn

to take out the

recyclables this week.

And I should have

the bills figured out

in the next day or two.

And tell mystery

roommate if you

see her too.

Oh nice.

Good work.

- Dude, I've got money

to lose. Absolutely.

Correction, I have

money to win.

Thank you very much.

- Is this Metro State Movers?

- Yeah, just hang on

for a minute.

Yeah, I'm game if
