Their ears should bleed!

So I don't care if God

told you to keep it down,

much less Stella.

What do you mean,

it can't be done?

Que pasa

this "can't be done"?

All right, Rob,

shut up for a second.

Just listen.

All right, let's try

something easier.

Repeat this:

"Would you like that

in a pump or a loafer?"

No, Rob,

just say it with me.

Come on, just humor me.

Just say it once.

Just...

"Would you like that...

"in a pump...

or a loafer?"

Good. Now memorize it,

because as of tomorrow,

the only job you're going

to be able to get

is selling shoes!

Well, I--I, uh--ahem.

Shh, shh, shh.

Rob's calling again

on line one.

Yo, Rob, look,

I'm busy now.

I can't really--

well, I'm glad

you see it my way...

Now.

Hey, look, we all have

our misunderstandings.

Just get it done.

Where's Stella,

and what's my schedule?

She hung up,

and they want you

down in the staff meeting

right away.

They start yet?

No. They've been waiting for you

for about 15 minutes.

Good.

Let me tell you something,

Guy, and learn from this--

if they can't start

a meeting without you,

well, that's a meeting

worth going to, isn't it?

And that's the only kind

of meeting

you should ever

concern yourselves with.

File this!

What's next?

Her name is Mitzy.

Mitzy.

I like that.

Ok, let's do it.

Mitzy. Hi.

Buddy Ackerman,

senior executive

vice president

of production.

I couldn't help it.

I saw you

in the lobby

on my way in.

I'm on my way

to an important meeting,

and...I can just tell

that there are

enormous opportunities

for the both of us,

and I will pull myself

out of this meeting

if you can bear

just waiting 10 minutes.

Because I would love it

if you and I can just...

sit and chat.

Would that be possible?

Oh, that's great.

Now, if you need

anything,

you just ask

these 2 boys here. Ok?

Keep her happy.

All right?

Why don't you

just go sit down,

and I'll be right back.

Where's

my f***in' coffee?

Oh, coffee. Coffee,

Coffee. Coffee.

Buddy Ackerman's office.

Can you please hold?

Cream, sugar.

Sweet'n low.

Swee...

guy:
sweet'n low,

sweet'n low.

Come on, people!

I'm late

for a meeting here!

Let's go, go, go,

go, go, go!

Excuse me.

What is this?

Sweet'n low?

No.

This is not sweet'n low.

This is equal.

Blue packet.

Sweet'n low is pink.

See?

Equal--blue.

Sweet'n low--pink.

It's not the same thing,

is it?

Uh, well, I...

I think they both

contain the same--

What equal contains

is not my concern here.

I don't care if it has

f***ing fairy dust in it.

What I am concerned with

is detail.

I asked you to go get me

a packet of sweet'n low,

that isn't what I asked for,

that isn't what I wanted,
