Whoo!
Yeah!
You found my secret Yelp profile?
That's the only place I can be my unfiltered self.
I'm a truth teller.
-This is sincere. We're happy for you. -I'll be on Yelp.
Oh, never mind. I found it. It's sadder than it is embarrassing.
Don't read it.
"It pains me to write this, but I won't be returning to this QDOBA"?
You got nominated for an Itsy Bizzie. Iron Creek Small Business Awards.
-Congrats! -Percy's gonna be so jealous.
I hope he tackles you during the ceremony.
This is unexpected.
We are technically a small business now and I'm doing pretty well,
but not award-winning well.
You sure this isn't the Itsy Bizzie Razzies?
I got nominated for an Itsy Bizzie. Me and Raul's tuxedo shop.
We dressed the Grand Rapids High School mariachi band for the state finals. Yeah.
When it came to awards campaigning, we refused to play the game.
I got way more to focus on than a stupid award.
This stupid award comes with a $5,000 prize.
And the Golden Business spider trophy
which could fetch upwards of 30 bucks on Craigslist.
Fifty, if you find a spider freak.
The Bizzie goes to a small business owner who knows what they're doing.
Like my dentist, Dr. Kingsley, has a waterfall in his lobby.
That's small business ownership. I'll never win.
But you gotta try. Right?
Can you imagine what you could do with $5,000, Timmy?
Any ideas come to mind?
-Nope, because everything's fine. -[Eliza] Really?
You sure there's no extremely urgent issues
you'd like to evict from your life?
I've got everything under control,
and even if I didn't, my time would be better spent
getting it under control rather than chasing a long shot.
Again, none of that matters. Everything is under control!
That's reassuring.
Speaking of urgent, I found a yogurt cup under my driver's seat that's weirdly hot.
So peace.
-Let me help you with the yogurt! -I said I've got it.
How is this thing leaking so much? No one has anything to worry about!
A NETFLIX SERIES
Man, if I won 5 grand I would buy a good camera.
Selfish.
You could use that money to help someone, like my sister.
I'd use it to pay her bail.
She's been in a Guatemalan jail for a decade.
How have you not come up with that money in ten years?
Ehh. Not a financial priority. More of a splurge purchase.
Hannah, what would you do if you won 5K?
Uh, no, thank you.
You hear horror stories about people winning the lottery.
A lot of them end up dead and some even buy houses in Florida.
There's a big difference between 5,000 and the Powerball.
Not me. I don't wanna see what's at the end of the road
for someone who suddenly feels like she can buy brand-name soup.
Next thing you know, I'm ordering shrimp on my nachos.
Convince Chris to come home. "Look, Chris,
I finally bought us a mattress.
I'm a new Danielle!"
You got any movies about Simon Birch?
Somebody looks hungry.
Not the time or place, Percy.
11:45 by a dumpster,
perfect conditions for half a meatball sub.
Okay. Look. I'm sorry about the whole rent situation.
I'm a small business owner too.
If I give all my friends a break, it'll ruin me!
-I'm very popular. -I get that you're strict about the rent.
But why'd you handle it in such a cowardly way?
There's a simple explanation.
I'm a coward.
If you'd given me a heads-up, I'd have more time.
But I'll get you the money.
I'm up for an Itsy Bizzie. Maybe the other nominees will die.
IB noms are out?
Short for Itsy Bizzie nomination.
Sounds like I made it up. I didn't. I could've made it up. I didn't.
I didn't get into the small business game for acclaim. Good luck.
-Still want that sandwich? -Never wanted it.
I didn't expect jealousy to destroy you this fast.
You found out you didn't get nominated,
and you're offering people food behind a strip mall. Damn.
This is an unrelated apology sub.
And I don't have time for any award show B.S.
It would've been tough to fit it in
between standing by the trash and holding an old sandwich.
This is one of many things on my calendar today,
so I really don't have time to chat.
Sorry.
It's not old. This sandwich was made an hour ago.
You can go ask Paul over at Sandwich Hell.
I thought you told me about the eviction because you wanted help.
No, I told you because I'm terrified.
Look, I'm sorry I pushed you in front of everyone,
but you gotta win this.
The money could easily cover rent.
I wouldn't nominate you if I didn't think you could win.
-You nominated me? -Who else would have?
That came out harsher than I expected.
Well, me. I nominated me.
What? Why didn't you tell us?
It's embarrassing.
I didn't think I'd get picked.
Look at me. Tomorrow, my mom's forcing me
to tech her Korean church production of The Vagina Monologues.
That's why you have an inflatable labia in your car.
I've been turned down by six therapists.
Now I know you nominated me, I'll disappoint you too.
No one takes me seriously.
You are not going to disappoint me.
Honestly, I think it's impressive that you took initiative.
Look, you're a great boss with a great story,
besides there's only five other nominees.
I guarantee the guy who owns the tropical fish store
got some weird sex scandal that's waiting to blow up.
You don't own that many saltwater aquariums
without things getting nasty.
Ready or not, the Chamber of Commerce is sending a camera crew for an interview.
So you can look like a slob,
or look like an up-and-coming pillar of the community.
I look like a slob?
You don't look as sexy as Trent, he's the tropical fish guy.
I know him, but everything's aboveboard between us.
You need a little sprucing up, Timmy.
A little "fake it till you make it."
Act like one of your favorite bosses from a movie.
Like Boss Baby or Devil's Advocate?
One of those is a baby and one is Satan.
And look at the heights they reach despite their circumstances.
Hmm. Fair. Maybe a makeover could help.
A makeover?
Uh, maybe something simple. She's All That style.
Nerd takes off the glasses but still remains true to who they are.
He's in khakis and smells like hot yogurt.
This is more of a Don't Tell Mom the Babysitter's Dead,
which I was sure was a true crime doc. But by the time I realized it wasn't,
I was spellbound by the story of those morally compromised teens.
So in this analogy, corporate is the babysitter
and I'm Christina Applegate.
Who lies about who she is to make her way to the top, but ultimately--
Has a lot of fun and learned valuable lessons.
-Maybe a haircut. -I know the perfect place.
I can fit you in between a Havanese and a real butthole of a Labradoodle.
Rene, you don't even have your barber's license.
I don't have my bark-ber's license either. I'm not legally allowed to groom dogs.
-Oh. Do I smell hot yogurt? -That's me.
So sweet how he covers for you.
Okay, well, I will have him back to you in an hour.
I'm Floy Beckamfillingin for Miranda Golder...
-I thought your shift was over. -Can't say no to a free lunch.
-What are you reading? -Uh, something for school.
I don't get why you're getting a degree in accounting.
All you do is talk about making movies.
Accounting is like the film of numbers.
Every spreadsheet tells a story. See?
Ew. Your cheapness is out of control. You need to learn some self-care.
You're a white woman. You should be an assassin at it.
I don't know. My life is cushy as is.
Last week I bought detergent that wasn't on sale.
By accident. Still, it's a sign of how loose I've gotten with cash.
Okay, if you can take a bite of whatever the hell that is
and genuinely tell me you like it, I'll leave you alone.
Otherwise, pick one self-care activity to do today.
-Yeah. -Fine.
-Yeah. -I'll go and--
You're about to say "walk", I'm cutting you off.
On a walk to the...
nail salon.
Great. I'm gonna spend my break making sure you don't hide in your car.
Just spit it out. Please, spit it out.
Ew.
Hey! Not bad, huh? Check out your new Blockbuster daddy.
It was my idea for Rene to use flea shampoo as volumizer.
It burns a little, but I can't remember the last time my hair had this body.
I'm impressed you're really trying to win this,
but you don't have to change.
The camera crew's here.
Okay. Tim, relax, be yourself.
You love this place. You treat customers like your friends.
-Your story is heartwarming. -[Connie squawks]
Wrong.
-Is that a parrot? -I got duck.
It was a buzzer. Has no one seen Jeopardy?
People don't want their hearts warm.
They want their minds blown!
WWBBD?
"What Would Boss Baby Do?"
Yeah. Eliza, your plan seems nice, but I've tried nice.
If we're gonna stay in business, we need to stop being polite and get real.
-The Real World tagline? -Yeah.
-Tell me, who deserves that Itsy Bizzie? -I do!
-Who's the Golden Business Spider? -I am!
Um, I'm the Golden Business Spider?
-Right! -Yeah.
What are you gonna say to that camera crew?
Welcome to my playground.
That is not Timmy.
These are my people.
No, it's a supernova.
Ew. Look at this shade of yellow. "Smoker's Finger."
Cute. Here's a pretty blue called "Taken by an Avalanche."
See, we're already having fun.
Yeah. But I'm overwhelmed.
Don't stress,
self-care should be relaxing and fun.
-That's the name of this color. -That's not the color.
That's the brand. Relaxing and Fun is wet n wild's line for people over 40.
I've always thought of myself as over 40 at heart.
Decisions.
Um, I can take it from here. Don't you have to study?
No, we're focusing on you today.
Ooh. I think I found my shade. "Could be Fungal."
Ooh.
I am so glad they sprung for a good DP.
DP is the Director of Photography.
There's no worse sound in the world than a man describing film terms.
You know you don't have to change yourself for this, right?
Look, I have to win, so I'm acting like a winner.
I want you to win too. It's how your rent problem goes away.
I don't want you to lose focus on yourself.
I am laser focused.
Maybe not as focused as Rick's camera was.
He made me look good.
But believe me, I am very focused on myself,
my best self.
The babysitter's dead and I'm going to have a summer to remember.
[Connie] He's done it!
Our boy's gone viral.
This morning, you had 144 followers,
now 147.
-Ho! -That says 145.
Huh. Lost two. When you reach these heights, backlash is inevitable.
Connie, I was just talking to Timmy about staying focused on--
Winning. Couldn't agree more.
It's a crucial moment in any awards campaign.
This is when we bring out the big guns!
Gift bags for voters.
Gift bags?
You sweet naive thing.
Every award is bought and paid for.
Actually, I don't think we should give the voters gifts, Con.
We should bring them to the gift.
An elegant evening at Blockbuster.
The student has become the teacher.
We have some event planning to do.
So would you like a mani beaucoup, pedi mort, or upper lip wax?
Uh, these bottles of Self-Worth Comes From Within,
-Influencer Beige, Disgraced Girl Boss. -I thought we were getting mani-pedis!
I can get three bottles for the same price as a manicure
and do my nails at home.
Maybe this home-school graduate can teach you a thing about accounting.
Fine, at least you're doing some self-care.
What you're describing is piracy.
You're taking food out of my birds' mouths.
In that case, don't sell these to me. Let's go.
No, no, no. It's fine.
That'll be 29.60.
I'll be paying with this.
A gift certificate? The only reason you picked this place
is because you wouldn't have to spend any money?
-That's cheating. -Read the back of this for me.
"Treat as you would real money."
Caught on a technicality.
I'd like my change back in fives.
-It's 40 cents. -I know.
I want nickels.
Wow, you guys really got a lot of decorations for this party.
Um, I think these are meant for a quinceañera.
Never hurts to seem young and full of promise.
Exactly.
Okay. And this?
The voting committee should feel the balance of fear and gratitude
that comes with spending Thanksgiving with family.
-Oh. Timothy. -Percival.
I heard you went to my store.
Ugh. Grand Mill gossip really gets around.
We are throwing a soiree for my Itsy Bizzie nom tomorrow.
I remember those days when my business was still small enough
to be considered for such an award. Success is a double-edged sword.
[mimicking sword slicing]
And look at you now. Big enough to evict a friend.
[mimicking knife slicing]
-Ooh. I just realized something. -We need candles. Right?
All the Devil's Advocate parties were oozing with them.
I read in Parade Magazine that Pacino brought candles from home.
Don't you guys think Blockbuster has its own nostalgic charm,
and all this stuff might get in the way of that?
Percival, does your un-nominated store offer delivery?
We are gonna need your waxiest of candles.
[indistinct chatter]
Hello. Oh, Madam Secretary, thank you so much for coming out.
Treasurer O'Brien, I'll tell you again, we do not have a discount for male models.
Who here matters?
Can you up the lights?
Customers are having trouble finding movies.
A lady knocked over three shelves of new releases.
First two were by accident, but the last one was out of anger.
Oh, you two.
Anything worth finding is worth searching for.
Also, I love what the soft glow is doing for my complexion.
Floy Beckam? The stars really are out tonight.
-Uh, does Timmy seem off to you? -He's a different person. I've been--
He's kissing Floy Beckam on the cheek.
Nope, he's moving towards the lips. I should step in.
So I see that you're washing garbage.
-These are almost brand-new. -I know.
Pass them down to your grandchildren.
I don't know if I'll have grandchildren.
If I do, they'll be inheriting my collection of Arby's Christmas goblets.
I let the nail salon slide, but this is too much.
Next time you're at my house you can drink from the hose.
Your cheapness is pathological.
What do you care?
Look, money has always been tight with my family.
I've been counting coupons since I was 8.
So I'm frugal.
Isn't it better to be careful?
I get careful, but it controls your life.
You won't check out DVDs and we get them for free.
It is our one employee benefit.
I don't wanna burn out my DVD player. I've only had it since 2009.
You'll wake up one day
and realize you went ten years without ordering shrimp on your nachos!
A life wasted.
Hey, I'm just sacrificing for my future.
Like you with that accounting school you hate.
I do not hate accounting. You have no idea what you're saying.
Big surprise.
If shrimp nachos are so important, order them yourself, bro.
Just don't come crying to me when I'm on my flight to San Diego.
That's right, San Diego.
The one with the zoo.
The big future you're saving up for is a three-night stay in San Diego?
Enjoy being miserable till then.
[Hannah] It's four nights!
And I'll be too busy mapping out my day
at their world-class safari park to be miserable.
So still not jealous?
Of this lame-ass party? Look at all this junk in here.
That they got at your store. Okay, look, I'm sorry, that wasn't fair.
This must be hard for you.
You do so much for Timmy.
Propping him up as a business owner, you get no recognition.
Things between us have been complicated. It's hard to be the guy behind the guy.
I guess I am a little jealous.
So you admit it. I got you again.
What a small man.
-Have a nice night, Percy. -It's "Dad."
I told you about calling me Percy. Hey.
[groans]
Sorry, the computer seems to be dead. Chocolate fountain must've blown a fuse.
So I have to talk to my parents while they're visiting?
Let me go try to fix it.
Remember, young lady, R-rated movies require a parent or legal guardian.
Mine have been dead for decades. You have my vote, handsome.
-Oh. -Timmy, we're having an issue.
[gasps] I haven't seen you in forever. What have you been working on?
-It's Connie. -Oh.
I might have known if it weren't so dark. I thought you were on candle duty.
There's a difference between being a guest and working a party, babe.
Did you call me "babe"?
-And is that a diamond bracelet? -Rhinestone dog collar from Rene.
You might've known if it weren't what?
-Dark. -That's my girl.
Who needs to be filled to the brim with the magic of Tim?
Congrats, Dr. Frankenstein.
Instead of being himself, like I encouraged him to be,
he's now a monster.
Only a matter of time before he--
Drowns a little girl? I thought the same thing.
But which little girl,
and in which of our state's countless lakes?
I was gonna say "before he absconds to the arctic."
Always thinking of an excuse to say you read the book instead of seeing the movie.
Fine. Maybe I pushed him too hard.
I just finally wanted to win one of these.
But I'll go talk to him.
[crowd clamoring]
[woman screams]
[woman] The store is on fire!
-[man] Go, go, go! -[woman] Come with me.
[crowd shouting]
Okay, so who's the dickbag that owns this place?
I'll say that again.
Who's the dickbag who owns this place? They didn't send me not to find a dickbag.
I'm the dickbag who owns it.
And I'm the dickbag behind the dickbag.
I created this monster.
-Arrest me, officers. -We're the fire department.
Have you guys seen Hannah?
Oh, she went to the bar for a drink.
Oh, great. This is my curse. My hot takes drive people to drink.
-Hey. -Hey.
Um, I just wanted to say that...
-I'm-- -[bartender] Enjoy.
-Thank you. -You're welcome.
Are those shrimp nachos?
When the store caught fire, I realized you were right.
I should treat myself a little more 'cause tomorrow isn't promised.
I came here for a drink,
then realized the nachos were 2 bucks cheaper, but baby steps.
What did you wanna say?
I shouldn't have been hard on you. Your financial stuff is your business.
And you were right. I'm no better. I, uh...
-I hate accounting. -Oh, yeah.
You changed the subject to my cheapness this morning to avoid talking about it.
You noticed? I thought I was so subtle.
You'd be surprised by the things I notice.
Oh--
You'd be surprised.
I'm sorry. I was projecting my own stuff onto you.
It's just, children of immigrants don't really get to have dreams.
It's complicated.
Well, let's just agree
that we both need to try to have a little more shrimp on our nachos.
Cool?
Now, dig in!
Oh, I love the play of textures and temperatures.
These are frozen.
[Eliza] I've got some great news.
-I won the Itsy Bizzie? -No. No?
No, you've been blacklisted.
Hmm. You were saying there was good news.
Yes. Right.
The fire department isn't gonna fine you.
Turns out strip mall carpet is toxic,
so it counts as their disaster training this year.
No one can ever accuse me of not supporting our first responders.
Listen, I'm so sorry about getting out of control today.
I didn't wanna lose that prize money.
And... I didn't wanna let you down.
So you did both.
Shrewd. Hey, let me help you with this.
Oh, you know, I get what Christina Applegate was going through.
The babysitter dies, then suddenly you're the babysitter?
It's a heavy burden. Still trying to figure it all out.
You did save the day at the end.
That's something. What are you gonna do about the rent?
I gotta sacrifice something, so I am putting my Mitsubishi up for sale.
Should buy me a few months
while I figure this small business thing out.
Wait! The Eclipse?
-But you love that car. -Yeah, it's pretty cherry.
But I love the store more.
And you all.
Wow. Spoken like a true small business owner.
Well, as sad as it is knowing I'll never get to go for another 'bishi ride, thanks.
You're the real Itsy Bizzie winner in my eyes.
Really. What do I win?
I could buy you a drink.
Yes, please.
["Bulletproof" playing over speakers]
You want a pre-drink chocolate, banana, marshmallow, or prosciutto?
Mm. You leave one of those unplugged for more five minutes,
they become a breeding ground for mosquitoes.
Ruined my cousin's wedding.
This could legally be classified as swampland.
[cell phone chiming]
You need to get that?
Uh...
Yeah, I probably should. I'll just be a sec.
Hey, goose!
When I said I'd move back in,
you promised you'd move the PS5 out of the bedroom.
I cannot get addicted to GTA online again.
Okay.
Ready for that trophy drink?
Um, I totally forgot I have something I have to do.
Oh.
Okay. Next time then?
Mm-hm.
♪ This time, baby, I'll be ♪
♪ Bulletproof... ♪
-[Timmy] Hey. -Timmy.
Hey, man. I'm sorry, okay?
-At least let me-- -Forget it. I'll get you the rent.
I need to get drunk with my best friend, if that's cool?
That's very cool.
Give it up.
Oh!
Here's the big question.
First round on you, or the last round on you?
[Timmy] I think first round on you and last round on you.
[Percy] I might not remember the last round.
[Timmy] Okay.
