[ Door creaking ]
I wouldn't debase
myself like that.
Nobody's asking you to.
Anyways, they're
doing it for all of us.
Could have been me,
say I was ten years younger.
It's not that bad.
It's not what
you'd call hard work.
You're to meet your companion
at the corner.
She's called Ofglen.
Wait for her.
She takes you
to the grocery store.
Tell them fresh eggs, milk...
and a chicken, not a hen.
Tell them who it's for,
and they won't mess around.
We get the best here.
Are you Ofglen?
Yes. I'm meeting Offred.
Who are you?
I'm Offred.
Oh, I see.
Blessed be the fruit.
May the Lord open.
The war is going well, I hear.
Praise be.
I see they have oranges today.
They didn't give me
any tokens for that.
The war interferes with fruit
and vegetables from California.
Even Florida
isn't dependable anymore.
Quiet.
some of the highways.
Tokens, please.
Thank you.
[ Clapping ]
She must be a very happy girl.
Praise be.
Shh.
It's all right.
What are you doing in here?
I've been looking for you.
Why?
He wants to see you
in his office.
What do you mean?
MAN:
Tomorrow night...10 p.m.
In his office.
Hello, hello, hello.
Nice day, isn't it?
What happened to
the last Offred?
How do I know?
How do I know?
But what do you think?
I don't know.
So, what are these?
Impatiens,
if they grow this year.
How's she working out?
- Who?
- The new one.
Oh, her.
Better than the last one.
Well, you don't have to
throw it up to me.
I thought we weren't
going to mention that.
If you don't like her, we can
send her back, you know that.
Who cares if I like her?
You know, I think...
she was a good choice.
Well, I want you
to be happy, Serena.
Yes.
Life is so much easier for you
when I am.
That's right.

Hello. Come in.
You don't need the veil.
