Temps
- Good morning, beautiful.
-What time is it?
Eh, 9:
00ish.-Oh.
-Thanks for sleeping over.
-Mm-hmm.
Like I'm... Sleeping alone.
You want to move in?
-Ugh, no!
You have got a bad case
of the bed sprawl.
Plus, things are getting
pretty serious with Jason.
-Jason with the hair?
-No, Jared with the hair.
This is Jason with the glasses.
- Didn't you just go out
with him, like, on a first date?
-Uh-huh.
And it was a great first date.
And we've been texting...
All the time!
Anything?
- Just the same three jobs
I'm not qualified for.
This sucks.
-You hated that job.
- Yeah,
but at least I could pay rent.
-Just get a temp job.
Jason!
- Who would ever want to
work a temp job?
-Wakey, Wakey, eggs and bakey.
-Actually, no bakey.
But there's a goat cheese
and squash frittata
in the fridge.
You can heat it
in the toaster oven at 350
or totally ruin it in the micro.
Amaretto mimosa?
- Oh, no, thanks.
I gotta four-day gig
at mbst&t starting today.
- No way!
They just moved me to mbst&t.
I was totally planning
on having a lame day,
and they've gone
and messed that up.
Did you already
put in your money?
- I put it in the ledger,
but I didn't red-light it.
- What have we got,
like, 75 days left?
- 84 if we want to make it there
by Thanksgiving.
for another
epic Jefferson and Carter
ski adventure!
Whoosh! Whoosh!
We feeling the pink today?
-Yeah, let's give it a try.
- Yeah.
Yeah, I think that works.
- Oh, yeah.
Shake that moneymaker.
All right, guys,
I need you to go through
these boxes here,
make sure we shred anything
older than seven years.
Dates are on the top
of these folders.
Any questions?
-That suit, Ann Taylor?
-Um... It is.
-You really wear it.
-Thank you, Jefferson.
-Mrs. HWANG?
- Yes.
- Stephanie.
Cal staff sent me over.
- Okay,
why don't you come with me.
-Ann Taylor?
-I'm telling you, man,
these things are a gold mine.
-Ann Taylor?
-Ross.
-You really wear it.
-We have 2,500 of these
that need to be stuffed
and metered by lunch.
As soon as the other temps
are finished shredding,
they can jump in
and help you out.
-Okay.
- I know, not much time.
- I'll do my best.
- I'd prefer
you just get it done.
-Okay, I'll do that.
-Are you talking back to me?
-No?
- There's a reason
you're a temp worker,
you know that, right?
-Because I got laid off?
- I'm gonna let you in on
a little secret.
They don't lay off
the good workers.
- All right,
- Please do that.
- I'm going.
- Go.
- Okay.
- Hurry!
- I am.
-Let's go.
Temps.
- Don't take it personally.
HWANG hates girls.
All right, are we doing this?
- And go!
- No, no, no.
Oh! Damn it.
-Winner!
-I demand a re-do.
- Is this what you guys
normally do around here?
-Uh...
Sometimes we raid
and see if we can make a fort
out of anything.
That gets real challenging.
- Temping is just a means
to an end, really.
We're actually skiers.
-Like professional skiers?
- Yeah, kind of.
- Except we don't get paid.
this year.
It's a Straga volcano
or strata volcano.
- Strata volcano.
- Yeah.
-Strata volcano.
- So skiing and temping.
Any other life plans?
- I take it you're one
of those live to work people.
- I appreciate the value
of a life's work, yes.
-What's yours, then?
- Oh, well, I...
Went to school for accounting.
-That sounds thrilling.
- Well, what's your life's work,
skiing?
- It's actually not
just about skiing,
it's about, uh, seeing as many
incredible places
and meeting
as many incredible people
and gathering
as many meaningful experiences
before shuffling off
this mortal coil.
You know,
things you can't really do
from a cubicle
or a corner office.
Ever been skiing?
- I was more
-Me, too.
- I have a boyfriend.
- Was that for me or for her?
- You.
- Oh.
Okay.
Congrats?
- Sorry, I was just
trying to shut this down.
-Shut what down?
- This little banter
we have going on.
-Why?
- Banter usually
implies ulterior motives.
- I'm not hitting on you.
-Good.
-Would you like me to?
-No.
- Seems like maybe you would like
him to hit on you.
Call 'em like I see 'em.
-I'm Jefferson.
-Stephanie.
-So what's your man list?
- My man, oh,
what are you talking about?
-You know, list of qualities
a guy has to posses
in order for you
to open up
-I don't think I have one.
But if I'm trying to waste time
and not do work,
I'd say um... He's gotta be nice,
but not too nice.
-Okay.
- Uh, and he's gotta
like kittens, puppies, and kids.
- This is not quite as secret
or sexual as I was hoping for.
-We're at work.
- Hey, I'm sorry,
can I talk to Stephanie?
She's the cute girl
I was just making out with
in the broom closet.
- Shh!
- Shh!
- Shh!
- Shh, shh!
- Shh!
- I have to say
as a casual observer
of the female species,
you're all highly contradictory.
Because as far as I can tell,
most girls not only have
but, in fact, enjoy many forms
of loud, raunchy, kinky sex.
-Gross.
- See and yet none of you
will ever admit
that you like, want, or have
What is that?
Is that some kind of agreement
that you all have
