- Yes, I just kind of went with my gut on it, Norm.

You called me Norm.

Could that be like my nickname?

Yeah, I guess.

- Nice. I like your style, Car

That can be yours.

- Carl is pretty short already, but ...

You could say it's the kind of

detail we need around here.

You know what I did?

- What?

That whole Demco thing really chapped my ass.

I marched upstairs and told the big guns

Carl gets promoted in leiu of Demco

or along with Demco, whichever.

or I walk.

- Really? What did thay say?

Well, they were quite attracted to the me

walking option, you know, for a moment.

but then I threw that off the table.

- Good move.

And I said if you started to show

some initiative I could promote you.

And?

- Well you are doing it!

Yeah, the whole cake thing.

- Yeah

You're making up nicknames.

You know what? I called Demco this

morning to ask if he could work on Saturday.

You know what he said?

- No.

How did you know that?

- He's not here.

Oh yeah, but you are Car

And that's why I'm giving the job to you

Norm, that's amazing. My God. Thank you.

- I saw the raise in it for you too.

Bump up your salary to sixty-five.

- Thousand?

Of course, thousand.

Come one let's take this thing up a notch broseph.

See what I did there? I joined "bro" with

"Joseph":
"Broseph". Pretty cool, huh?

Very cool, Norm.

I have been such a dick and a douche.

More of a douche than a dick probably.

I'm sorry. I should have been there.

I mean really.

- You're preaching to the choir, Carl..

I'm telling you man. Things are different.

- So wait, you have to say yes to everything?

Yeah, exactly. It's like you said, I wasn't open

to stuff, and now that I am, things are changing for me.

It's like, the era of yes has begun.

Alright. Look, if it gets you

out of the house I'm all for it.

Excuse me. can we get another round of drinks.

Actually, we're going to start a tab, and our

good friend here, Carl Allen, will be taking care of it.

You're okay with that right buddy?

- Yes, yes I am.

Okay

I should be prepping my piece for Mon,

but I cannot miss this.

Hey, yo, another bump of hot sauce.

Oh boy, you guys are really into this sh*t.

Carl, that was so awesome.

Excuse me, can I ...

- Absolutely.

I do not think that's

what she was asking for, but ...

Alright.

Was I chewing gum before?

What do you think you're doing a**hole?

- Easy, hey. There's a little misunderstanding.

I was just saying yes to life.

You gotta say yes to life.

I made a sacred covenent.

That sounded naughty.

I think you and I need to step outside.

- No. God no, it's ...

Okay. It's okay.

I got this.

But if I win, I get to take that

pretty girl of yours to a ball.
