1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:10,385
Yeah, thanks. I just wanna confirm
that my employees' benefits won't lapse.
2
00:00:10,927 --> 00:00:11,886
Sure, I'll hold.
3
00:00:15,932 --> 00:00:17,017
You're here early.
4
00:00:17,100 --> 00:00:19,394
Oh, been getting here at 8 all week.
5
00:00:19,477 --> 00:00:22,522
Rise and grind.
What the sports guys say on Twitter.
6
00:00:22,605 --> 00:00:25,066
Sports guys also dress
like Justin Bieber's pastor?
7
00:00:25,150 --> 00:00:26,443
No, not just that.
8
00:00:26,526 --> 00:00:29,362
I, too, released a statement
after Bieber's monkey incident.
9
00:00:29,446 --> 00:00:32,282
-Insulting you is getting harder.
-Oh, thank you.
10
00:00:32,365 --> 00:00:35,744
So I took Eliza's advice
to embrace being the big boss.
11
00:00:35,827 --> 00:00:40,498
Buy, sell, flip, flop, love it, list it.
I'm not talking to anyone, I'm on hold.
12
00:00:40,582 --> 00:00:42,500
Speaking of Eliza, how are you feeling
13
00:00:42,584 --> 00:00:44,878
after everything that happened
or didn't happen?
14
00:00:44,961 --> 00:00:46,838
Bad. Really bad.
15
00:00:46,921 --> 00:00:51,217
I almost told her I liked her moments
before she got back with her husband.
16
00:00:51,301 --> 00:00:54,429
Nothing dropping a shot of Jäger
into a pint of ice cream won't cure.
17
00:00:54,512 --> 00:00:58,308
We're better off as friends.
Now we can go back to acting normal.
18
00:00:58,391 --> 00:01:02,937
Eliza! [chuckles] Looking good,
looking sharp, looking chill.
19
00:01:03,480 --> 00:01:06,191
In my Blockbuster uniform
that I always wear?
20
00:01:06,274 --> 00:01:07,609
Sure, whatever. Shut up.
21
00:01:07,692 --> 00:01:10,278
Timmy got here at 8.
22
00:01:10,862 --> 00:01:11,905
Eight a.m.?
23
00:01:11,988 --> 00:01:14,741
-Oh, it's not that early.
-[Eliza] Not for most people,
24
00:01:14,824 --> 00:01:17,327
but you claim
it's not worth waking up that early
25
00:01:17,410 --> 00:01:20,080
because your breakfast burrito place
doesn't open until 11.
26
00:01:20,163 --> 00:01:24,292
But your breakfast burrito place
is a gas station that's open 24 hours.
27
00:01:24,375 --> 00:01:27,754
You do not want to see clientele
at Gas-n-Guzz before 11.
28
00:01:27,837 --> 00:01:31,341
We call them Morning Joes
and they're an absolute nightmare.
29
00:01:31,424 --> 00:01:32,383
Not important.
30
00:01:32,467 --> 00:01:35,678
I took your advice,
throwing myself into the business.
31
00:01:35,762 --> 00:01:38,431
In fact, I made a to-do list.
32
00:01:38,515 --> 00:01:41,768
At work by 8 and a list,
did somebody rise and grind?
33
00:01:41,851 --> 00:01:45,647
I did. Opened a bank account,
transferred utilities into my name,
34
00:01:45,730 --> 00:01:49,025
and I even talked to a lawyer
about legal stuff.
35
00:01:49,109 --> 00:01:50,777
-They're good with that.
-Smart.
36
00:01:50,860 --> 00:01:54,364
It's all on me. No corporate.
I am the Blockbuster dad now.
37
00:01:54,447 --> 00:01:59,494
I got bills to pay and ties to wear
and James Patterson books to read.
38
00:01:59,577 --> 00:02:02,080
So you can call me
"the Blockbuster daddy."
39
00:02:02,163 --> 00:02:05,166
Ehh. Why are we listening to weird music?
40
00:02:05,250 --> 00:02:08,795
Is this "End of the World as We Know It",
but no lyrics? The melody won't hold.
41
00:02:08,878 --> 00:02:11,840
Blockbuster daddy is on hold
with our health insurance agent.
42
00:02:11,923 --> 00:02:13,550
Don't wanna let your bennies lapse.
43
00:02:13,633 --> 00:02:16,261
-[man] You're all set, Mr. Yoon.
-Thank you, sir.
44
00:02:16,344 --> 00:02:20,390
All that's left on my list
is get Percy to put the lease in my name.
45
00:02:20,473 --> 00:02:23,017
Get on Zazzle
and start designing me a mug,
46
00:02:23,101 --> 00:02:25,061
"World's Best Blockbuster Daddy."
47
00:02:27,397 --> 00:02:30,483
This new "daddy" thing aside,
with Timmy this focused
48
00:02:30,567 --> 00:02:33,987
and the influx of customers
from my block party idea...
49
00:02:34,070 --> 00:02:37,073
-You mean my video.
-...I think we're gonna be okay.
50
00:02:37,157 --> 00:02:40,451
If I don't fire somebody by 5,
I'll lose the store.
51
00:02:40,535 --> 00:02:41,703
Whoo!
52
00:02:46,958 --> 00:02:49,210
[Percy] What happened?
I thought things were going great.
53
00:02:49,294 --> 00:02:51,504
You had the customers
from that news thing.
54
00:02:51,588 --> 00:02:54,924
For the first time
your store has more people than rats.
55
00:02:56,718 --> 00:02:57,677
Damn.
56
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:00,263
I've only seen your hair turn white
three other times.
57
00:03:00,346 --> 00:03:01,806
When your parents got a divorce,
58
00:03:01,890 --> 00:03:05,185
when you were slow dancing
to "November Rain" with Denise Carrera--
59
00:03:05,268 --> 00:03:07,770
You held a fart so long,
you went to the emergency room.
60
00:03:07,854 --> 00:03:10,023
--and your mom made
your 13th birthday a roast.
61
00:03:10,106 --> 00:03:12,358
-Cherished memories. Thank you.
-You're welcome.
62
00:03:12,442 --> 00:03:14,736
Everything is way more expensive
without corporate.
63
00:03:14,819 --> 00:03:17,530
Payroll taxes, zero vendor discounts.
64
00:03:17,614 --> 00:03:19,866
You know I needed permits
to keep the store legal?
65
00:03:19,949 --> 00:03:20,992
I did not.
66
00:03:21,075 --> 00:03:23,203
I stopped paying a Scottish mob
for protection.
67
00:03:23,286 --> 00:03:25,580
That unhoused gentleman in a kilt
only comes around
68
00:03:25,663 --> 00:03:27,582
because you keep giving him $20.
69
00:03:27,665 --> 00:03:30,793
I basically have to fire
one of my friends, my family.
70
00:03:31,628 --> 00:03:34,214
I'll tell you, man, that sucks big time.
71
00:03:35,924 --> 00:03:37,592
Whose can is getting canned?
72
00:03:40,470 --> 00:03:41,971
...there for an hour,
73
00:03:42,055 --> 00:03:45,642
and she agreed to buy the bird,
then she said I could...
74
00:03:45,725 --> 00:03:48,811
It's bad when she
makes eye contact with the bailiff.
75
00:03:50,855 --> 00:03:53,942
-She gave me a check...
-I'm glad this place didn't close.
76
00:03:54,025 --> 00:03:55,401
I'd really miss this.
77
00:03:55,485 --> 00:03:57,403
-Me too.
-"Balance $400."
78
00:03:58,404 --> 00:04:00,323
-No!
-Who gets the parrots?
79
00:04:00,406 --> 00:04:03,159
Some sad breaking news out of Iron Creek,
80
00:04:03,243 --> 00:04:06,454
where our beloved local movie reviewer
has passed away.
81
00:04:06,537 --> 00:04:10,166
It's that guy who comes in every month
to do his Hollywood Harold's Flicky Picks.
82
00:04:10,250 --> 00:04:12,043
Then blows up our bathroom.
83
00:04:12,126 --> 00:04:15,505
-...every Wednesday and Friday since 1950.
-Rest in peace.
84
00:04:15,588 --> 00:04:17,632
Funny man James Eugene Carrey,
85
00:04:17,715 --> 00:04:22,679
the always unapologetically
Canadian thespian, is in a new movie.
86
00:04:22,762 --> 00:04:28,017
But unfortunately, I'm gonna
havetosay"no, sir" to Yes Man.
87
00:04:30,937 --> 00:04:33,940
-Who got the parrot?
-We don't know, that guy died.
88
00:04:34,983 --> 00:04:37,360
What? Hollywood Harold died?
89
00:04:38,027 --> 00:04:40,405
That's crazy. He was a-- He was a hero.
90
00:04:40,488 --> 00:04:42,532
I try to reserve "hero"
for first responders
91
00:04:42,615 --> 00:04:44,367
and geese Sully Sullenberger murdered.
92
00:04:44,450 --> 00:04:46,536
A local legend taken too soon.
93
00:04:47,078 --> 00:04:49,789
I'm Miranda Golder
fillinginfor Remington Alexander,
94
00:04:49,872 --> 00:04:50,999
who is on vacation.
95
00:04:53,084 --> 00:04:55,295
Bye. What was that all--?
96
00:04:55,378 --> 00:04:57,588
Ooh! We're back, baby.
97
00:04:57,672 --> 00:05:00,008
[Connie]
Neither of them deserves the parrot.
98
00:05:00,091 --> 00:05:02,677
...medical center said returnthe bird...
99
00:05:02,760 --> 00:05:04,595
[rock music playing over speakers]
100
00:05:06,931 --> 00:05:10,351
What the hell is this?
Olivia Rodrigo's unfortunate cousin?
101
00:05:10,893 --> 00:05:14,022
It's my daughter's band,
the Trampoline Busters.
102
00:05:14,105 --> 00:05:16,441
There's no corporate,
we can play whatever we want.
103
00:05:16,524 --> 00:05:18,901
-Your daughter released an album?
-Mm-hm.
104
00:05:18,985 --> 00:05:19,902
On SoundCloud.
105
00:05:19,986 --> 00:05:22,905
I burned a CD
so I could listen to it in my Volvo,
106
00:05:22,989 --> 00:05:24,741
but I only have a tape deck.
107
00:05:24,824 --> 00:05:27,618
-This is my first time listening to it.
-Bleak.
108
00:05:27,702 --> 00:05:30,163
Ooh! I love this one.
The drums are so quick.
109
00:05:30,246 --> 00:05:32,623
These lyrics are clearly about you.
110
00:05:33,166 --> 00:05:34,000
What?
111
00:05:34,083 --> 00:05:36,002
"I'm not a little girl, proper and polite.
112
00:05:36,085 --> 00:05:39,213
I'm a grown-ass woman,
I don't wanna split my Sprite."
113
00:05:39,881 --> 00:05:41,299
No, they're not.
114
00:05:41,382 --> 00:05:43,926
It's about becoming your own person.
115
00:05:44,010 --> 00:05:46,679
Fighting to break free
from the man. Right?
116
00:05:46,763 --> 00:05:48,848
Yeah. You're the man.
117
00:05:48,931 --> 00:05:50,433
I get it. Moms suck.
118
00:05:50,516 --> 00:05:55,396
My mom wouldn't even let me get a tattoo.
It would have been so cool. Look.
119
00:05:56,814 --> 00:05:58,775
-That's a pentagram.
-It's more.
120
00:05:58,858 --> 00:06:00,068
It's five triangles.
121
00:06:00,151 --> 00:06:02,153
See, moms don't get it.
122
00:06:02,236 --> 00:06:06,949
Things have been a little tense lately,
but we're on the upswing.
123
00:06:07,033 --> 00:06:10,078
We run a thriving island
in Animal Crossing, okay?
124
00:06:10,787 --> 00:06:13,498
If Ali had a problem with me,
she'd tell me.
125
00:06:13,581 --> 00:06:16,959
True. Because teenage girls
are never passive-aggressive.
126
00:06:20,838 --> 00:06:22,799
This feels like having to give up a child.
127
00:06:22,882 --> 00:06:25,051
I can't imagine them not being here.
128
00:06:26,135 --> 00:06:29,472
I did have one last-ditch idea
that just might work.
129
00:06:29,555 --> 00:06:30,640
Lay it on me.
130
00:06:30,723 --> 00:06:33,810
So you know how Blockbuster
used to pay half my rent?
131
00:06:34,310 --> 00:06:37,188
Is there any way
that you could reduce my rent--?
132
00:06:37,271 --> 00:06:40,191
One thing we know is,
you're not gonna fire Kayla.
133
00:06:40,274 --> 00:06:42,443
-Is that something we know?
-That's my daughter.
134
00:06:42,527 --> 00:06:45,196
You can't fire my daughter.
I'm your friend.
135
00:06:45,279 --> 00:06:47,365
-Fire Eliza.
-Eliza's off the table.
136
00:06:48,199 --> 00:06:50,451
She's basically a minimum wage MBA.
137
00:06:51,244 --> 00:06:53,704
Not Carlos, that man is a movie genius.
138
00:06:53,788 --> 00:06:56,332
He got someone
to rent Garden State after 2004.
139
00:06:56,416 --> 00:06:57,250
[Percy] He's good.
140
00:06:57,333 --> 00:06:59,335
Not Connie. She brings soup and hugs.
141
00:06:59,419 --> 00:07:02,296
One time she hugged me
with soup in her hand and burnt my back.
142
00:07:02,380 --> 00:07:05,299
-You let it go, the soup is good.
-That butternut squash is bomb.
143
00:07:05,383 --> 00:07:07,427
She's the same age
as most of our clientele.
144
00:07:07,510 --> 00:07:09,887
Who else will know
Hank Ackerman means Hugh Jackman?
145
00:07:09,971 --> 00:07:13,182
-I want some butternut squash soup.
-And not Hannah. She's good at...
146
00:07:14,100 --> 00:07:15,685
She's the sweetest person.
147
00:07:16,769 --> 00:07:20,481
And I just took everyone off the table.
It's an empty table.
148
00:07:20,565 --> 00:07:21,441
Not Kayla.
149
00:07:21,524 --> 00:07:25,194
Yes, Kayla. If this will be fair,
we have to consider everyone.
150
00:07:25,278 --> 00:07:27,989
How about I consider raising your rent?
151
00:07:28,072 --> 00:07:29,198
-Damn it.
-Yeah.
152
00:07:29,282 --> 00:07:31,534
-This will be harder than I thought.
-Mm-hm.
153
00:07:31,617 --> 00:07:34,328
It's like taking up skateboarding
at 38 again.
154
00:07:34,412 --> 00:07:36,497
The last time I drew a dick on a arm cast.
155
00:07:36,581 --> 00:07:38,833
That's right. It was very realistic.
156
00:07:43,921 --> 00:07:46,340
Hollywood Harold's
love of movies inspired
157
00:07:46,424 --> 00:07:49,010
millions and millions of Michiganders.
158
00:07:49,510 --> 00:07:51,512
-Mm.
-Okay. Thousands.
159
00:07:51,596 --> 00:07:53,723
He was literally married to movies.
160
00:07:53,806 --> 00:07:55,808
He gave Schindler's List five smooches.
161
00:07:55,892 --> 00:07:59,353
We have to find a new purpose
for this rack that honors his legacy.
162
00:07:59,437 --> 00:08:00,271
Okay?
163
00:08:01,147 --> 00:08:01,981
Any ideas?
164
00:08:03,232 --> 00:08:04,066
Yeah.
165
00:08:04,150 --> 00:08:08,154
A section for all those movies
where a man and woman fall in love,
166
00:08:08,779 --> 00:08:10,364
and they're perfect for each other.
167
00:08:10,448 --> 00:08:12,783
But the man starts aging in reverse.
168
00:08:12,867 --> 00:08:14,285
All those movies?
169
00:08:14,368 --> 00:08:17,413
A rack dedicated to trilogies
where the middle one is the best,
170
00:08:17,497 --> 00:08:18,581
like National Treasure.
171
00:08:18,664 --> 00:08:20,541
Only two National Treasure movies.
172
00:08:20,625 --> 00:08:22,502
Wicker Man is the third.
173
00:08:22,585 --> 00:08:24,879
Why are you in this meeting?
174
00:08:24,962 --> 00:08:26,130
Concerned customer.
175
00:08:26,923 --> 00:08:29,759
-What about an adult section?
-Oh, Jesus, Connie.
176
00:08:29,842 --> 00:08:31,928
-Ew.
-No, no. Not like stag films.
177
00:08:32,011 --> 00:08:36,474
I mean movies with sophisticated,
adult themes like The Remains of the Day.
178
00:08:36,557 --> 00:08:38,601
Should duty come before love?
179
00:08:38,684 --> 00:08:39,810
Va, va, voom!
180
00:08:39,894 --> 00:08:43,147
Maybe leave the rack empty.
A symbol of what we've lost.
181
00:08:43,231 --> 00:08:46,359
An empty rack is a symbol
we're going out of business,
182
00:08:46,442 --> 00:08:49,278
which is a vibe
we're actively working against.
183
00:08:50,154 --> 00:08:52,198
What about employee picks?
184
00:08:52,281 --> 00:08:54,116
Okay, I like that.
185
00:08:54,200 --> 00:08:57,036
A little basic, but Harold
would've put his own spin on things.
186
00:08:57,119 --> 00:09:00,831
Like Halvsies, you watch the beginning
of one movie and the end of another.
187
00:09:00,915 --> 00:09:04,377
The time he did the beginning of Bambi
with the end of E.T.
188
00:09:04,460 --> 00:09:07,213
Oh! It was just a straight-up sob fest,
no relief.
189
00:09:07,755 --> 00:09:10,341
But you could put
your own spin on things.
190
00:09:10,925 --> 00:09:13,719
Employee picks,
but I'll figure out a twist.
191
00:09:13,803 --> 00:09:17,974
-Hollywood Harold would have loved that.
-I'd like to say a few words about him.
192
00:09:18,057 --> 00:09:20,434
To quote my favorite musician,
[clears throat]
193
00:09:20,518 --> 00:09:22,520
"You are not, not the worst."
194
00:09:22,603 --> 00:09:23,604
Double negative.
195
00:09:23,688 --> 00:09:28,234
"You will not, not, not control me."
Triple negative. Double, triple negative.
196
00:09:28,317 --> 00:09:33,364
"Eliza Walker, you're the worst."
Still think these lyrics aren't about you?
197
00:09:33,447 --> 00:09:34,532
[chuckles]
198
00:09:34,615 --> 00:09:36,200
How was that about Harold?
199
00:09:36,909 --> 00:09:39,120
-I got something.
-What you got?
200
00:09:40,663 --> 00:09:41,497
I lost it.
201
00:09:41,581 --> 00:09:43,124
Hate that when it happens.
202
00:09:43,207 --> 00:09:44,458
Sucks.
203
00:09:44,542 --> 00:09:46,043
-It's back.
-I love that.
204
00:09:46,127 --> 00:09:48,629
I know we said no
to psychological warfare,
205
00:09:48,713 --> 00:09:52,800
but there's something in the area
making the employees decide for us.
206
00:09:52,883 --> 00:09:55,595
I bet if we just ask them a few questions,
207
00:09:55,678 --> 00:09:57,722
the person I should fire
would become obvious.
208
00:09:57,805 --> 00:10:01,017
Yeah. Like a reverse job interview.
209
00:10:01,100 --> 00:10:01,934
Exactly.
210
00:10:02,018 --> 00:10:05,646
Clockwise, you working,
and counterclockwise your ass fired.
211
00:10:05,730 --> 00:10:07,648
I bet one doesn't need this job.
212
00:10:07,732 --> 00:10:09,942
No offense, who'd work at Blockbuster
213
00:10:10,026 --> 00:10:12,278
if they didn't absolutely have to?
214
00:10:13,529 --> 00:10:16,449
Ultimately, I decided
even if it is a microchip,
215
00:10:16,532 --> 00:10:17,908
let the government spy.
216
00:10:17,992 --> 00:10:20,578
I promised Helen
we'd see Jeff Dunham live.
217
00:10:21,287 --> 00:10:23,831
Totally, but I asked why you took the job.
218
00:10:23,914 --> 00:10:25,499
Not why you took the jab.
219
00:10:25,583 --> 00:10:27,335
Oh!
220
00:10:28,461 --> 00:10:30,171
Okay, well, let's see.
221
00:10:30,254 --> 00:10:32,173
For one, you all, of course.
222
00:10:32,798 --> 00:10:34,967
Number two, gotta get my steps.
223
00:10:35,885 --> 00:10:39,472
And three, probably watching judge shows
with Hannah.
224
00:10:40,264 --> 00:10:42,850
So you're saying you don't need this job?
225
00:10:42,933 --> 00:10:45,353
I guess not totally, financially.
226
00:10:45,436 --> 00:10:47,229
-All we needed to hear.
-Yeah.
227
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:51,317
Emotionally on the other hand,
that's another story.
228
00:10:52,568 --> 00:10:56,364
Before I started working here,
I don't know how I filled my days.
229
00:10:57,531 --> 00:10:59,659
Got catfished a bunch, of course.
230
00:11:00,493 --> 00:11:02,203
SWAT'd myself more than once.
231
00:11:03,287 --> 00:11:05,373
Hooked on nasal sprays for a piece,
232
00:11:06,123 --> 00:11:09,794
mostly just farted around Shondaland
in my pajama jeans shorts.
233
00:11:10,544 --> 00:11:13,923
One night,
I was putting Christmas lights on the roof
234
00:11:15,007 --> 00:11:18,719
and I just started inching
towards the edge. Inching.
235
00:11:19,845 --> 00:11:22,181
Inching, inching.
236
00:11:23,224 --> 00:11:25,601
I cannot thank you enough for this job.
237
00:11:25,685 --> 00:11:27,436
Saved my life.
238
00:11:27,520 --> 00:11:30,773
Literally. You remember
that Malaysian airplane that disappeared?
239
00:11:30,856 --> 00:11:33,025
I was supposed to be on it
the day you hired me.
240
00:11:33,109 --> 00:11:34,110
That'll do. Thank you.
241
00:11:34,193 --> 00:11:35,861
Is something going on?
242
00:11:35,945 --> 00:11:36,862
As if.
243
00:11:37,738 --> 00:11:39,532
Is that a new gray patch?
244
00:11:39,615 --> 00:11:41,492
Oh, yeah, trying something.
245
00:11:41,575 --> 00:11:42,827
Keep up the hard work.
246
00:11:42,910 --> 00:11:43,786
Carry on. Bye.
247
00:11:47,623 --> 00:11:51,669
Carlos. What do you consider
your job strengths and weaknesses?
248
00:11:51,752 --> 00:11:53,587
Where do you see yourself in five years?
249
00:11:53,671 --> 00:11:56,048
-Pick a name.
-He don't have time.
250
00:11:56,132 --> 00:11:59,552
I'm replacing the Hollywood Harold section
with Employee Picks.
251
00:11:59,635 --> 00:12:02,304
Pick a name, then a movie
you think that person would like.
252
00:12:03,180 --> 00:12:04,390
Another great idea.
253
00:12:04,473 --> 00:12:07,226
A new way to connect
with customers and each other.
254
00:12:07,309 --> 00:12:10,104
You're like our Zuckerberg except
you won't destroy democracy,
255
00:12:10,187 --> 00:12:11,397
and don't eat your hair.
256
00:12:11,480 --> 00:12:12,732
Thanks, man.
257
00:12:12,815 --> 00:12:13,733
Hannah.
258
00:12:14,358 --> 00:12:17,319
-That man deserves a raise.
-You're moving in the wrong direction.
259
00:12:17,403 --> 00:12:19,572
I didn't say I'd give him a raise.
260
00:12:19,655 --> 00:12:21,615
-You're out of Cool Ranch.
-You ate it all.
261
00:12:21,699 --> 00:12:23,784
I told you to put two rows in!
262
00:12:26,328 --> 00:12:28,581
Have you noticed Timmy acting strange?
263
00:12:28,664 --> 00:12:31,667
I feel someone's about
to get voted off the island.
264
00:12:31,751 --> 00:12:33,169
I don't know. Listen...
265
00:12:33,252 --> 00:12:36,714
Do I have an annoying presence
on Instagram? My daughter--
266
00:12:36,797 --> 00:12:39,884
Personally, I unfollowed you
because you'd write "needed this today"
267
00:12:39,967 --> 00:12:41,635
under all of Michelle Obama's posts.
268
00:12:41,719 --> 00:12:44,054
You unfollowed me? When?
269
00:12:44,722 --> 00:12:47,808
Wow. I've been misjudging
all my relationships.
270
00:12:47,892 --> 00:12:50,936
-I can see you doing that.
-I don't know that you're one to judge.
271
00:12:51,020 --> 00:12:53,439
Once a week you post a picture
of Snoopy drinking rosé
272
00:12:53,522 --> 00:12:56,609
with "in dog wines I've only had one"
under it, so...
273
00:12:57,568 --> 00:12:59,695
Come on, Connie, this is serious.
274
00:12:59,779 --> 00:13:04,366
I think that Ali is blaming me for all
of the problems between her dad and me.
275
00:13:04,450 --> 00:13:05,826
Listen to these lyrics,
276
00:13:06,327 --> 00:13:10,122
"A studio apartment isn't a home,
you're gonna be 43 and alone.
277
00:13:10,206 --> 00:13:14,376
Drinking wine with no remorse
while I become another child of divorce."
278
00:13:17,004 --> 00:13:18,297
It's just so funny.
279
00:13:18,380 --> 00:13:20,508
Snoopy using stemware.
280
00:13:20,591 --> 00:13:21,550
Can you imagine?
281
00:13:22,676 --> 00:13:25,179
Have you done your Hollywood Harold
movie picks yet?
282
00:13:25,262 --> 00:13:28,474
-Is there a spending limit?
-It is not a Secret Santa.
283
00:13:29,725 --> 00:13:32,645
Is this a test
to determine who gets fired?
284
00:13:33,145 --> 00:13:35,356
-What?
-Someone's getting fired?
285
00:13:36,232 --> 00:13:38,400
So listen, Kay.
286
00:13:39,026 --> 00:13:40,319
Kay-money, Kmart.
287
00:13:40,402 --> 00:13:41,654
Oh, no, thank you.
288
00:13:42,154 --> 00:13:46,784
Um, I wanted to check in,
see how you're liking things here.
289
00:13:47,701 --> 00:13:48,702
Oh.
290
00:13:48,786 --> 00:13:51,330
Walking into a dusty time capsule
every day,
291
00:13:51,413 --> 00:13:54,375
and having some gross dude
in a Gremlins T-shirt mutter,
292
00:13:54,458 --> 00:13:56,460
"You weren't born
when this movie came out,"
293
00:13:56,544 --> 00:13:59,255
is honestly every 16-year-old's dream.
294
00:14:00,381 --> 00:14:02,049
-So you hate it here?
-No.
295
00:14:02,883 --> 00:14:05,761
Let's just say
that every time I have to come in,
296
00:14:05,845 --> 00:14:08,180
it gets a bit harder to get out of bed.
297
00:14:11,058 --> 00:14:15,187
Kayla, I am very sorry,
but I think I'm gonna have to let--
298
00:14:15,271 --> 00:14:17,064
-[door opens]
-What the--?
299
00:14:18,524 --> 00:14:19,358
Hey, Kayla.
300
00:14:19,441 --> 00:14:23,237
There's a boy who needs
to be reminded about his privilege,
301
00:14:23,320 --> 00:14:27,199
I know you love that kind of stuff.
Go give him a thing or two.
302
00:14:27,283 --> 00:14:29,243
Make Daddy proud. Okay.
303
00:14:30,202 --> 00:14:32,705
Sneaky man. You tried to fire my daughter.
304
00:14:32,788 --> 00:14:36,208
-She literally told me she hates it here.
-Fire Eliza.
305
00:14:36,292 --> 00:14:38,419
Talk about a person
who doesn't wanna be here.
306
00:14:38,502 --> 00:14:40,254
Always saying she's overqualified
307
00:14:40,337 --> 00:14:43,048
and using those triple-point
Scrabble words to confuse me.
308
00:14:43,132 --> 00:14:45,259
Firing Eliza would be insane.
309
00:14:45,801 --> 00:14:47,469
I see what's happening here.
310
00:14:47,553 --> 00:14:50,180
You keeping her around for eye candy.
311
00:14:50,264 --> 00:14:53,100
-Oh, come on.
-You got a big old crush on her.
312
00:14:53,183 --> 00:14:54,310
Look at you.
313
00:14:54,393 --> 00:14:55,561
Wow.
314
00:14:55,644 --> 00:14:57,730
You can't do that in this climate.
315
00:14:57,813 --> 00:14:58,814
That is not it.
316
00:14:58,898 --> 00:15:00,608
I am glad we're just friends.
317
00:15:00,691 --> 00:15:02,109
I'm rooting for her and Aaron.
318
00:15:02,192 --> 00:15:04,069
-They're my Ross and Rachel.
-Mm-hm.
319
00:15:04,153 --> 00:15:08,407
-She saved us with that block party.
-I saved you with the block party.
320
00:15:08,490 --> 00:15:10,200
I'm the reason we went viral.
321
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:13,037
Because you lit a 40-foot gorilla on fire.
322
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:15,289
Look, it's Kayla.
323
00:15:15,372 --> 00:15:18,083
I can't fire adults
who actually need this job.
324
00:15:18,584 --> 00:15:22,004
"Can't" is not in a man's vocabulary.
325
00:15:22,087 --> 00:15:24,590
Quoting Love and Basketball
is not gonna change my mind.
326
00:15:24,673 --> 00:15:26,759
Maybe tripling your rent will.
327
00:15:27,635 --> 00:15:30,179
These people's lives are in my hands.
328
00:15:30,262 --> 00:15:31,805
It's too much pressure.
329
00:15:31,889 --> 00:15:35,267
Like when the judge told me to point
to which parent I wanted to live with.
330
00:15:35,559 --> 00:15:37,102
-If not Kayla, who?
-[knocking on door]
331
00:15:38,479 --> 00:15:42,358
Hey, hi. So you might get some calls
from angry parents
332
00:15:42,441 --> 00:15:46,195
because I confused Hungry Caterpillar
with Human Centipede.
333
00:15:46,278 --> 00:15:47,780
You can't be mad, though.
334
00:15:47,863 --> 00:15:51,075
I told you that I did not know a lot
about most movies.
335
00:15:51,909 --> 00:15:53,494
Okay, bye.
336
00:15:54,870 --> 00:15:55,955
[door closes]
337
00:15:58,666 --> 00:16:01,251
She makes mistakes, but she's a good kid.
338
00:16:01,335 --> 00:16:03,671
-Sorry to interrupt again.
-Oh, no.
339
00:16:03,754 --> 00:16:06,256
The Human Centipede situation
has escalated
340
00:16:06,340 --> 00:16:09,927
and the superintendent of all schools
is on the phone for you
341
00:16:10,010 --> 00:16:12,930
and he's "I can hear him breathing" upset.
342
00:16:13,013 --> 00:16:14,848
Again, don't be mad.
343
00:16:16,350 --> 00:16:17,935
[man] Hello? Hello?
344
00:16:20,771 --> 00:16:24,108
Hello? Is anyone there?Hello?
345
00:16:24,191 --> 00:16:25,526
I'll fire Hannah.
346
00:16:28,153 --> 00:16:30,447
-Tomorrow.
-Timmy.
347
00:16:30,531 --> 00:16:31,991
-I wanna soften the blow.
-Timmy.
348
00:16:32,074 --> 00:16:35,911
It's not my fault the nearest
Edible Arrangements is in Ann Arbor.
349
00:16:36,412 --> 00:16:37,413
Whoa.
350
00:16:38,288 --> 00:16:39,790
Is someone getting fired?
351
00:16:39,873 --> 00:16:40,833
-Yes.
-No.
352
00:16:41,792 --> 00:16:42,960
[Timmy sighs]
353
00:16:43,043 --> 00:16:45,087
-How did you know?
-[Connie] You're acting weird,
354
00:16:45,170 --> 00:16:47,923
-a patch of your hair turned gray.
-Again?
355
00:16:48,007 --> 00:16:51,969
Percy asked, "Would you freak out
if you didn't work here anymore?"
356
00:16:52,052 --> 00:16:53,220
Jesus, Percy.
357
00:16:53,303 --> 00:16:55,431
In my mind, it was a trick question.
358
00:16:55,931 --> 00:16:57,349
So who is it?
359
00:16:58,017 --> 00:16:58,934
It's, uh--
360
00:17:00,185 --> 00:17:01,020
It's--
361
00:17:02,187 --> 00:17:04,732
Any chance I could just text the person?
362
00:17:04,815 --> 00:17:08,110
Guys, the employee picks with a twist
section is nowhere near finished.
363
00:17:08,193 --> 00:17:10,446
-Who's your pick?
-I'm in the middle of something.
364
00:17:10,529 --> 00:17:13,449
It's important.
Why is no one taking it seriously?
365
00:17:13,532 --> 00:17:14,742
I put up my picks.
366
00:17:14,825 --> 00:17:17,870
I got Eliza, so I went with Bad Moms,
Bad Moms Christmas,
367
00:17:17,953 --> 00:17:19,830
-Throw Momma from the Train.
-Stop.
368
00:17:19,913 --> 00:17:22,583
Carlos, why are you obsessing
over stupid Hollywood Harold
369
00:17:22,666 --> 00:17:24,251
when someone is getting fired?
370
00:17:24,334 --> 00:17:25,753
I love Hollywood Harold,
371
00:17:25,836 --> 00:17:29,173
and someone getting fired
doesn't make him any less dead.
372
00:17:29,256 --> 00:17:32,926
-So someone is getting fired?
-Just tell us who it is, Timmy!
373
00:17:33,010 --> 00:17:33,969
Okay.
374
00:17:34,053 --> 00:17:36,597
-I am so, so sorry, but it's--
-I quit.
375
00:17:37,306 --> 00:17:39,141
-Kayla, no.
-You can't leave us.
376
00:17:39,224 --> 00:17:41,477
You need to teach me what "lit" means.
377
00:17:41,560 --> 00:17:44,188
Me quitting makes things easier
for everyone.
378
00:17:44,730 --> 00:17:46,106
Plus, this place sucks.
379
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,025
-Kayla.
-Sucks?
380
00:17:48,108 --> 00:17:49,526
-[Eliza] Kayla.
-[Connie] What the--?
381
00:17:49,610 --> 00:17:51,737
-[Carlos] Is she serious?
-[Eliza] Oh, my God.
382
00:17:53,238 --> 00:17:55,616
This seems like a bad time, I know.
383
00:17:55,699 --> 00:18:00,329
I'm looking for a Robert De Niro movie
where he doesn't play a naughty grandpa.
384
00:18:00,412 --> 00:18:01,246
Any ideas?
385
00:18:13,383 --> 00:18:15,385
I can't believe she actually quit.
386
00:18:15,886 --> 00:18:16,970
It's crazy.
387
00:18:17,679 --> 00:18:21,266
I'm gonna miss her. Not the part of her
that likes to point out my faults,
388
00:18:21,350 --> 00:18:25,604
like how my relationship with my daughter
is a total mess, but "her" her.
389
00:18:26,688 --> 00:18:29,691
What? Why aren't you
taking this problem seriously?
390
00:18:29,775 --> 00:18:31,568
Because it's not a problem.
391
00:18:31,652 --> 00:18:34,363
It's not a problem that Ali hates me
392
00:18:34,446 --> 00:18:37,241
even though I gave up so much
to be her mother?
393
00:18:37,324 --> 00:18:38,534
Including Harvard.
394
00:18:38,617 --> 00:18:39,535
Subtle.
395
00:18:41,453 --> 00:18:45,207
Look, it's a good thing she's lashing out.
396
00:18:46,291 --> 00:18:48,836
Your family went through
a rough six months.
397
00:18:49,628 --> 00:18:51,463
Means she's working through it.
398
00:18:52,131 --> 00:18:54,675
It's when they bottle it up
you gotta worry.
399
00:18:55,092 --> 00:18:58,262
My son drove his car
through the front of a Wendy's.
400
00:18:58,929 --> 00:19:00,013
He's a lawyer now.
401
00:19:01,265 --> 00:19:02,391
Huh.
402
00:19:03,267 --> 00:19:05,352
But it's so unfair.
403
00:19:05,978 --> 00:19:07,855
Her dad is the one who cheated.
404
00:19:08,480 --> 00:19:10,232
Not that I'd tell her that.
405
00:19:11,066 --> 00:19:13,402
Why does she have to take it out on me?
406
00:19:14,027 --> 00:19:15,779
She feels safe enough to.
407
00:19:16,446 --> 00:19:18,532
She knows no matter what she says,
408
00:19:18,615 --> 00:19:20,450
you'll always love her.
409
00:19:21,743 --> 00:19:23,245
You're a good mom, Eliza.
410
00:19:24,580 --> 00:19:25,789
You really think so?
411
00:19:27,666 --> 00:19:28,750
Thanks.
412
00:19:30,169 --> 00:19:31,420
I really needed that.
413
00:19:31,503 --> 00:19:32,671
Of course.
414
00:19:33,755 --> 00:19:34,965
I'm here for you.
415
00:19:36,341 --> 00:19:38,260
Whenever we work the same shift.
416
00:19:49,188 --> 00:19:51,440
Kind of a rough day, huh?
417
00:19:51,523 --> 00:19:54,776
I mean, mine got rough
a couple of hours ago, but...
418
00:19:54,860 --> 00:19:56,904
you've had a rough one since you got here.
419
00:19:56,987 --> 00:19:58,697
Yeah. Whatever, you know.
420
00:19:59,781 --> 00:20:01,575
What's up with you
and Hollywood Harold?
421
00:20:01,658 --> 00:20:04,494
Don't say you'll miss
his show-stopping hairline.
422
00:20:06,580 --> 00:20:07,748
Um...
423
00:20:08,373 --> 00:20:11,501
Look, my family moved
to the States when I was 5
424
00:20:11,585 --> 00:20:13,253
and we only got one channel.
425
00:20:13,337 --> 00:20:15,881
So I saw a lot of Hollywood Harold.
426
00:20:15,964 --> 00:20:18,634
I learned English
from the movies he played.
427
00:20:18,717 --> 00:20:20,928
That's why I still say "buddy."
428
00:20:21,011 --> 00:20:23,847
I thought you just
really loved Encino Man.
429
00:20:25,474 --> 00:20:27,893
I didn't have any friends as a kid.
430
00:20:28,810 --> 00:20:32,481
And... he felt like a friend.
431
00:20:33,941 --> 00:20:34,983
That's so sweet.
432
00:20:36,235 --> 00:20:37,486
I wish you told me.
433
00:20:37,569 --> 00:20:40,656
You and Hollywood Harold
are like a platonic rom-com.
434
00:20:41,615 --> 00:20:43,784
I wanted people to care
about the employee picks
435
00:20:43,867 --> 00:20:45,911
the way that Harold
made me care about movies.
436
00:20:45,994 --> 00:20:48,497
I did take the employee picks seriously.
437
00:20:48,580 --> 00:20:50,582
It was easy since I picked myself.
438
00:20:50,666 --> 00:20:51,875
That makes no sense.
439
00:20:53,460 --> 00:20:54,753
Harold would've loved it.
440
00:20:54,836 --> 00:20:57,881
Think he would love... this?
441
00:20:57,965 --> 00:21:01,760
-We could dedicate this section to him.
-You made a plaque for Harold?
442
00:21:01,843 --> 00:21:05,931
No, I made it for you
because you're my buddy.
443
00:21:06,014 --> 00:21:07,140
[both laughing]
444
00:21:08,934 --> 00:21:11,019
-Aw. Thanks.
-In a twist
445
00:21:11,103 --> 00:21:14,398
-with beloved Iron Creek movie reviewer.
-The news is covering him again.
446
00:21:14,481 --> 00:21:18,485
Searching the home of deceased local man
"Hollywood" Harold Davidson,
447
00:21:18,568 --> 00:21:21,780
authorities discovered the corpses
of over 50 ferrets
448
00:21:21,863 --> 00:21:25,450
in what PETA is calling
"a veritable ferret Waco."
449
00:21:25,534 --> 00:21:28,036
You don't need to see your hero like this.
450
00:21:28,120 --> 00:21:31,873
...according to Iron Creek
FirefighterChiefLouanna Eggers,
451
00:21:31,957 --> 00:21:36,295
they couldn't open the door and escape
because ferrets don't have thumbs.
452
00:21:36,378 --> 00:21:37,296
[knocking on door]
453
00:21:38,380 --> 00:21:40,549
Hey. You all right?
454
00:21:40,632 --> 00:21:44,011
Not really. Turns out
being the Blockbuster daddy sucks.
455
00:21:44,094 --> 00:21:46,263
Still not loving that nickname.
456
00:21:46,888 --> 00:21:49,641
But trust me, I know how you feel.
457
00:21:50,809 --> 00:21:54,313
You can't always be everyone's friend
when you're trying to do what's best.
458
00:21:54,396 --> 00:21:55,397
And it sucks.
459
00:21:56,398 --> 00:21:57,274
But I'm sorry.
460
00:21:57,983 --> 00:21:59,151
Thanks.
461
00:21:59,234 --> 00:22:02,571
Why didn't you ask for my help?
I thought we were a team.
462
00:22:02,654 --> 00:22:06,033
I guess that would've been awkward
since I was on the chopping block too.
463
00:22:06,116 --> 00:22:08,618
No, you weren't. I can't live without you.
464
00:22:09,786 --> 00:22:12,706
Um, the store can't survive without you.
465
00:22:12,789 --> 00:22:14,166
'cause you're so great.
466
00:22:14,249 --> 00:22:17,461
As my employee and my friend,
because we're friends.
467
00:22:18,628 --> 00:22:20,505
Of course we're friends.
468
00:22:20,589 --> 00:22:22,924
Why are you acting so weird lately?
469
00:22:23,008 --> 00:22:26,928
Why are you? I'm stressed.
Mercury's in retrograde. Shall we?
470
00:22:27,512 --> 00:22:28,638
Okay.
471
00:22:28,722 --> 00:22:32,851
-I just hope Kayla's all right.
-Oh, no one needs to worry about Kayla.
472
00:22:32,934 --> 00:22:35,187
She already gets paid to put on makeup
473
00:22:35,270 --> 00:22:38,940
while lip-synching John Mulaney bits
on TikTok for some reason.
474
00:22:40,525 --> 00:22:41,902
Oh, I'm old.
475
00:22:41,985 --> 00:22:43,236
Gray streak isn't helping.
476
00:22:44,071 --> 00:22:45,906
But for what it's worth,
477
00:22:45,989 --> 00:22:47,449
I'm really proud of you.
478
00:22:48,200 --> 00:22:49,034
Thanks.
479
00:22:52,662 --> 00:22:56,750
Maybe I am getting the hang
of being a "boss" boss, after all.
480
00:22:56,833 --> 00:22:59,544
Someone called me "sir"
and I didn't look around for my dad.
481
00:23:00,712 --> 00:23:03,548
My first tough day
is officially in the books.
482
00:23:03,632 --> 00:23:06,510
-I'm not letting you let Kayla quit.
-[Timmy] It's done.
483
00:23:06,593 --> 00:23:08,637
I love Kayla
like a daughter you made me hire,
484
00:23:08,720 --> 00:23:10,430
but I can't keep her on as a favor.
485
00:23:10,514 --> 00:23:12,766
It's more than that. The truth is...
486
00:23:13,308 --> 00:23:15,519
I asked you to hire her
487
00:23:15,602 --> 00:23:19,356
so that I had an excuse
to spend more time with her.
488
00:23:19,439 --> 00:23:20,399
Aw.
489
00:23:20,482 --> 00:23:23,985
Shut up. When she was younger,
I could just pick her up,
490
00:23:24,069 --> 00:23:26,279
take her to get ice cream
and she loved it.
491
00:23:26,363 --> 00:23:28,573
Loved being around her daddy.
492
00:23:28,657 --> 00:23:30,492
But it's not like that anymore.
493
00:23:30,575 --> 00:23:34,704
That's painful for a certified girl dad
like myself because I love her.
494
00:23:34,788 --> 00:23:36,248
Or whatever.
495
00:23:36,331 --> 00:23:37,874
Why didn't you tell me?
496
00:23:37,958 --> 00:23:40,836
I got a reputation to maintain
in these streets.
497
00:23:40,919 --> 00:23:42,963
As the owner of a party store?
498
00:23:43,046 --> 00:23:45,966
Look, the point is this,
I'll pay her salary,
499
00:23:46,049 --> 00:23:48,218
just don't tell Kayla that I--
500
00:23:48,301 --> 00:23:50,137
-[Kayla] Tell me what?
-Um...
501
00:23:50,220 --> 00:23:55,934
Uh, that I found the money
and you don't have to quit after all.
502
00:23:57,519 --> 00:23:59,062
Yeah, okay, whatever.
503
00:23:59,146 --> 00:24:00,480
I love the enthusiasm.
504
00:24:00,564 --> 00:24:04,443
-I'll put this back in my locker.
-Is that my new Hydro Flask?
505
00:24:05,193 --> 00:24:07,529
Yeah, but I love it or whatever.
506
00:24:08,405 --> 00:24:10,323
Yeah, hashtag "girl dad."
507
00:24:11,032 --> 00:24:12,826
-Being a parent sucks.
-Right!?
508
00:24:12,909 --> 00:24:13,827
-Right.
-No.
509
00:24:13,910 --> 00:24:15,954
Blockbuster daddy
does not count as parenting.
510
00:24:16,037 --> 00:24:18,039
Don't normalize that nickname.
511
00:24:18,123 --> 00:24:20,125
-I won't. It's catchy.
-All right.
512
00:24:20,709 --> 00:24:22,627
Ah. I can't believe it.
513
00:24:22,711 --> 00:24:26,715
I didn't have to fire anyone
and now you owe me big time, Percy.
514
00:24:26,798 --> 00:24:30,218

[car alarms blaring]
517
00:24:34,514 --> 00:24:35,599
What the hell?
518
00:24:38,852 --> 00:24:41,188
[Eliza] What set off all those alarms?
519
00:24:42,314 --> 00:24:43,732
[dramatic music playing]
520
00:24:45,233 --> 00:24:46,067
Oh, no.
521
00:24:46,818 --> 00:24:47,986
They're back.
