1
00:00:06,006 --> 00:00:09,926
All right, gang, huddle up.
This is for you guys.
2
00:00:10,010 --> 00:00:12,887
- Oh, we didn't get you anything.
- I did.
3
00:00:12,971 --> 00:00:17,267
Just a few little things I thought
you could use and then some fun stuff.
4
00:00:17,350 --> 00:00:21,855
- Sorry she's such a rotten friend.
- It's not a present, it's a job.
5
00:00:21,938 --> 00:00:25,275
You're on promo display.
I need you to put this together.
6
00:00:25,358 --> 00:00:26,276
I see that now,
7
00:00:26,359 --> 00:00:29,696
and admit sometimes I use lying
as a survival technique.
8
00:00:29,779 --> 00:00:30,779
Hmm.
9
00:00:30,822 --> 00:00:35,160
- Oh, someone has plans tonight.
- Gosh, are you running for comptroller?
10
00:00:35,243 --> 00:00:37,454
They're converting the store
to an H&R Block
11
00:00:37,537 --> 00:00:38,872
and she's gonna be the new boss.
12
00:00:38,955 --> 00:00:41,750
Ha ha. But no.
This is for a job interview.
13
00:00:41,833 --> 00:00:45,378
I'm up for head of communications
at Round-The-Clock Car Rental.
14
00:00:45,462 --> 00:00:47,589
This special guy deserved a change.
15
00:00:47,672 --> 00:00:50,800
- You're a special guy?
- Oh, it's an inside joke.
16
00:00:50,884 --> 00:00:53,720
- Timmy gets it.
- Yeah. Special Guy Day.
17
00:00:53,803 --> 00:00:55,283
It's just you made fun of it so hard,
18
00:00:55,346 --> 00:00:57,932
I never figured it would become
one of your go-to phrases.
19
00:00:58,016 --> 00:01:00,518
Like "Hammer time"
or "live, laugh, laugh."
20
00:01:00,602 --> 00:01:03,646
Plus, I didn't realize your résumé
was getting any bites.
21
00:01:03,730 --> 00:01:05,982
Ooh! Nice card stock.
22
00:01:06,066 --> 00:01:08,401
Smooth as a glass bottom boat.
23
00:01:08,485 --> 00:01:10,070
Thank you.
24
00:01:10,153 --> 00:01:12,864
Decided to give the old CV
a bit of a facelift
25
00:01:12,947 --> 00:01:14,699
and then got 50 printed out
26
00:01:14,783 --> 00:01:18,453
before realizing most employers
prefer them electronically.
27
00:01:18,536 --> 00:01:20,205
Background in marketing?
28
00:01:20,288 --> 00:01:22,832
- Bookkeeper?
- Oh! Director of Global Sales.
29
00:01:22,916 --> 00:01:24,709
You've never done any of this.
30
00:01:25,293 --> 00:01:28,963
For your information, back in 2015,
I had my own business.
31
00:01:29,047 --> 00:01:31,716
And before I realized
it was a pyramid scheme,
32
00:01:31,800 --> 00:01:34,719
I technically
was Director of Global Sales.
33
00:01:34,803 --> 00:01:37,138
I had to ship one box
of essential oils to Canada.
34
00:01:37,222 --> 00:01:39,015
Okay, fine, I padded it a bit,
35
00:01:39,099 --> 00:01:42,268
but there's only one word
on this résumé that matters.
36
00:01:42,352 --> 00:01:43,686
- "Harvard."
- [groaning]
37
00:01:43,770 --> 00:01:46,523
Well, that'll do it.
Congrats. Glad it got you an interview.
38
00:01:46,606 --> 00:01:47,857
Second interview.
39
00:01:47,941 --> 00:01:51,361
I met the hiring manager
and have a meeting with the owner,
40
00:01:51,444 --> 00:01:52,779
which is a formality,
41
00:01:52,862 --> 00:01:56,866
and I hear that they usually
offer the job in the room, so...
42
00:01:56,950 --> 00:02:00,120
if I don't come back,
I haven't been kidnapped,
43
00:02:00,203 --> 00:02:03,164
I've just entered
my Beyoncé-gone-solo era.
44
00:02:03,248 --> 00:02:06,042
Oh, you're way too old to be kidnapped.
45
00:02:06,126 --> 00:02:09,462
It would be one thing
if you had money or were beautiful.
46
00:02:09,546 --> 00:02:12,757
You're pretty, sure,
but at your age you gotta be an 11
47
00:02:12,841 --> 00:02:14,968
to catch a kidnapper's interest.
48
00:02:17,345 --> 00:02:18,888
I'm gonna go hang my suit.
49
00:02:19,347 --> 00:02:21,766
[theme music playing]
50
00:02:27,272 --> 00:02:29,149
Sno-Caps next to the Doritos?
51
00:02:29,232 --> 00:02:32,443
No. Sno-Caps go next to the Goobers
and Sugar Babies.
52
00:02:32,527 --> 00:02:36,698
You want customers to feel like
they're at the movies, not a truck stop.
53
00:02:37,615 --> 00:02:39,576
- Here's the damage.
- So, Donna,
54
00:02:39,659 --> 00:02:42,704
I meant to tell you,
I'm tied up with bank fees,
55
00:02:42,787 --> 00:02:44,831
but I'll pay you next week.
56
00:02:44,914 --> 00:02:46,166
- Next week.
- Yeah.
57
00:02:46,249 --> 00:02:50,336
Honey. There's a solar storm coming.
There may not be a next week.
58
00:02:50,420 --> 00:02:52,672
- Mark. Box them up.
- Yeah. Uh-huh.
59
00:02:52,755 --> 00:02:54,716
- [Timmy] Not today. Please.
- [Donna] Come on.
60
00:02:54,799 --> 00:02:57,177
- Still got five cigarette shops to get to.
- I'm sorry.
61
00:02:57,260 --> 00:02:59,971
It'll take a lot more than "I'm sorry"
to save this marriage.
62
00:03:00,054 --> 00:03:03,391
[Mark] Could you give me a hand, sweetie?
No. Okay. I'm fine.
63
00:03:03,474 --> 00:03:04,309
I got it.
64
00:03:04,392 --> 00:03:08,396
[Hannah] Okay, so the display we're
building is for Thimble 2: Thumb Wars,
65
00:03:08,479 --> 00:03:12,108
which is the delightful tale
of a country thimble, Emma Stone,
66
00:03:12,192 --> 00:03:15,653
in the big city, Billy Porter,
looking for her dream thumb.
67
00:03:15,737 --> 00:03:19,115
So, Billy Porter plays the city.
68
00:03:19,199 --> 00:03:21,576
You stick your thumb in
and it talks and lights up.
69
00:03:21,659 --> 00:03:24,829
I thought the display
would be a life-size cutout.
70
00:03:24,913 --> 00:03:26,164
What we're looking at
71
00:03:26,247 --> 00:03:29,709
is what we in the business
refer to as a giant puzzle.
72
00:03:29,792 --> 00:03:34,047
Lucky for you, you're working
with Connie Serrano, puzzle queen, PhD.
73
00:03:34,130 --> 00:03:38,176
Wow, didn't realize I was in the presence
of a queen and a doctor.
74
00:03:38,259 --> 00:03:41,763
My mom said I came out of the womb
with a keen eye and a puzzler's thumb.
75
00:03:41,846 --> 00:03:44,807
The key is organization and process.
76
00:03:44,891 --> 00:03:48,019
As long as all the pieces stay organized...
77
00:03:48,102 --> 00:03:49,102
[Kayla gasps]
78
00:03:49,562 --> 00:03:51,814
Whoa, that came out of nowhere.
79
00:03:51,898 --> 00:03:55,318
It's a stationary object
that you walked into.
80
00:03:55,401 --> 00:03:59,072
Hey, jelly bean. I got your favorite.
81
00:03:59,155 --> 00:04:03,034
Mango surprise smoothie.
The surprise is frozen mangos.
82
00:04:03,117 --> 00:04:05,078
I don't have time for a smoothie.
83
00:04:05,161 --> 00:04:07,163
[Percy]
What? It's the perfect on-the-go meal.
84
00:04:07,247 --> 00:04:08,915
Even if you lose your straw,
85
00:04:08,998 --> 00:04:11,501
you take a tortilla chip and scoop it out.
86
00:04:11,584 --> 00:04:14,087
That's how your dad invented mango salsa.
87
00:04:14,170 --> 00:04:15,170
Uh-huh.
88
00:04:16,422 --> 00:04:18,174
- Ugh.
- Oh.
89
00:04:18,258 --> 00:04:21,094
Are smoothies canceled?
Did Gary at Smoothie Sips
90
00:04:21,177 --> 00:04:23,763
get caught up in another
animals-riding-unicycles scandal?
91
00:04:23,846 --> 00:04:25,974
Again? Those poor raccoons.
92
00:04:26,057 --> 00:04:28,309
Those raccoons get paid in smoothies.
93
00:04:28,393 --> 00:04:29,560
That's a sweet gig.
94
00:04:29,644 --> 00:04:32,021
Oh, well, two for me. [laughs]
95
00:04:33,481 --> 00:04:36,818
Does Kayla seem more "Kayla" to you?
96
00:04:36,901 --> 00:04:38,194
Maybe she's vibing.
97
00:04:38,987 --> 00:04:40,947
That's a word I've seen on the Internet.
98
00:04:44,200 --> 00:04:45,034
- Timmy.
- Hey.
99
00:04:45,118 --> 00:04:47,328
Bag of Doritos and a box of Sno-Caps.
100
00:04:47,412 --> 00:04:48,496
That sounds good.
101
00:04:48,579 --> 00:04:52,792
Okay, so the thing is, you know
how we usually have snacks to sell you?
102
00:04:52,875 --> 00:04:56,796
Today is a little different
in that we have no snacks to sell you.
103
00:04:56,879 --> 00:04:59,465
Wow, and you call this place a restaurant?
104
00:05:00,008 --> 00:05:01,968
Looks like my dad's making lunch.
105
00:05:02,051 --> 00:05:03,386
- Come on.
- Wait a sec.
106
00:05:03,469 --> 00:05:06,556
I just remembered,
we got a shipment of candy
107
00:05:06,639 --> 00:05:08,349
I think you'll love. Okay.
108
00:05:08,433 --> 00:05:09,517
Don't go anywhere.
109
00:05:15,606 --> 00:05:16,482
- Carlos?
- Yeah.
110
00:05:16,566 --> 00:05:19,610
- Where's the Thimble 2 promo candy?
- Oh, over there.
111
00:05:19,694 --> 00:05:21,779
I don't think
they put much thought into these.
112
00:05:21,863 --> 00:05:25,283
It's a kids movie
but these look like severed fingers.
113
00:05:25,366 --> 00:05:28,494
Looks like the remnants
of a sewing machine explosion.
114
00:05:29,037 --> 00:05:29,954
I'll sell them.
115
00:05:30,038 --> 00:05:32,582
These are supposed to be free
when people rent Thimble 2.
116
00:05:32,665 --> 00:05:34,876
Isn't selling promos against policy?
117
00:05:34,959 --> 00:05:38,087
Corporate store policy.
I'm in charge now, I've got solutions.
118
00:05:38,171 --> 00:05:41,424
Even if I'm losing my best employee
to a car rental place.
119
00:05:41,507 --> 00:05:45,178
Carlos, you are also my best employee.
There can be two bests.
120
00:05:45,261 --> 00:05:47,972
I am aware of your feelings towards Eliza.
121
00:05:48,056 --> 00:05:51,059
Feelings? What feelings?
I'm with Lena now.
122
00:05:51,142 --> 00:05:54,479
We haven't really defined things.
I'd love it if she was my girlfriend.
123
00:05:54,562 --> 00:05:56,564
Wait, is that something
people say at my age?
124
00:05:56,647 --> 00:05:58,566
Not looking to open this door.
125
00:06:03,154 --> 00:06:04,280
Where's Eliza?
126
00:06:11,662 --> 00:06:13,081
Sorry. I didn't ask.
127
00:06:13,164 --> 00:06:15,792
I was trying to do relaxation exercises
128
00:06:15,875 --> 00:06:18,628
and didn't realize
you have to breathe so loud.
129
00:06:18,711 --> 00:06:21,130
It's fine. Figured you didn't eat.
130
00:06:21,839 --> 00:06:22,839
Thanks.
131
00:06:23,883 --> 00:06:26,511
Is that The Rock carved
into a macadamia nut?
132
00:06:26,594 --> 00:06:29,806
Yep. Found promo candy.
It's a Jumanji 2 jungle vine.
133
00:06:29,889 --> 00:06:32,350
Nuts and oats around a fruit jelly center.
134
00:06:32,433 --> 00:06:35,061
You'll love it. It's a healthy Nerds Rope.
135
00:06:35,144 --> 00:06:37,939
How long will it take my new boss
to learn my favorite treats?
136
00:06:38,022 --> 00:06:39,357
Fast. You're very vocal.
137
00:06:39,440 --> 00:06:40,900
[both laugh]
138
00:06:42,193 --> 00:06:47,323
I can't imagine Blockbuster without you,
but moving on is important.
139
00:06:48,783 --> 00:06:49,783
Yeah.
140
00:06:50,743 --> 00:06:52,078
I bet Aaron's excited.
141
00:06:52,161 --> 00:06:55,540
You can flag any Mercedes rental
as a future condo buyer.
142
00:06:55,623 --> 00:06:57,667
It's not insider trading
if you're married.
143
00:06:57,750 --> 00:06:58,960
He doesn't know.
144
00:06:59,043 --> 00:07:01,921
I tried to tell him,
but he was really amped
145
00:07:02,004 --> 00:07:06,717
about some DraftKings thing
and I couldn't get a word in.
146
00:07:06,801 --> 00:07:08,845
- Oh.
- Yeah.
147
00:07:10,012 --> 00:07:11,681
I bet when you do tell him,
148
00:07:11,764 --> 00:07:14,142
he'll be more excited for you than I am.
149
00:07:14,225 --> 00:07:15,518
So excited you'll be like,
150
00:07:15,601 --> 00:07:18,771
"Aaron, you are too excited.
Are you on cocaine?"
151
00:07:19,689 --> 00:07:21,441
I better get back to work.
152
00:07:23,943 --> 00:07:26,487
Do you mind shutting the door?
I wanna practice a story
153
00:07:26,571 --> 00:07:28,948
about how I dealt with conflict
in the workplace.
154
00:07:29,991 --> 00:07:31,325
- Sure.
- Thanks.
155
00:07:37,957 --> 00:07:39,459
[Connie] Okay. Listen.
156
00:07:39,542 --> 00:07:42,962
It doesn't matter if it's puzzles,
dollar bills or laundry.
157
00:07:43,045 --> 00:07:47,925
- First thing is, you gotta sort.
- But the pieces are all gray.
158
00:07:48,009 --> 00:07:50,553
Lord, I know you reserve
the greatest challenges
159
00:07:50,636 --> 00:07:52,430
for your strongest puzzlers...
160
00:07:53,639 --> 00:07:57,351
- Ugh. Why is it so noisy?
- If you're not working, why not go home?
161
00:07:57,435 --> 00:08:00,438
My annoying mom is there
and she's obsessed with me.
162
00:08:00,521 --> 00:08:02,023
Like, "How was your day?"
163
00:08:02,106 --> 00:08:04,609
And commenting on my TikToks
with the star-eyed emoji.
164
00:08:04,692 --> 00:08:07,236
That's the most obsessive emoji.
165
00:08:07,320 --> 00:08:09,864
That's why I've been trying
to find myself an apartment.
166
00:08:09,947 --> 00:08:14,702
Do you guys know if we have a fax machine,
or what a fax machine is?
167
00:08:14,785 --> 00:08:16,078
An apartment? Wow!
168
00:08:16,162 --> 00:08:18,122
I usually reserve this
for purebred show cats
169
00:08:18,206 --> 00:08:21,042
but, hello, miss fancy pants.
170
00:08:21,125 --> 00:08:24,795
Are you sure you're ready?
It's a huge deal to live on your own.
171
00:08:24,879 --> 00:08:28,508
My boys thought they were ready
until they had to wash dishes.
172
00:08:28,591 --> 00:08:31,552
And wash their clothes.
And wash themselves.
173
00:08:31,636 --> 00:08:34,972
This apartment is amazing
and the utilities are included,
174
00:08:35,056 --> 00:08:37,808
except for weekend mail,
which is so annoying.
175
00:08:37,892 --> 00:08:40,937
Why don't you let one of us
go with you to see it?
176
00:08:41,020 --> 00:08:44,690
Yeah, that sounds weird.
All apartments include weekend mail.
177
00:08:44,774 --> 00:08:47,777
That's what Big Postal wants you to think.
178
00:08:48,486 --> 00:08:50,947
I think of Eliza as Blockbuster material,
179
00:08:51,030 --> 00:08:53,950
but I can also see her
as Round-The-Clock Car Rental material,
180
00:08:54,033 --> 00:08:57,870
which I know is saying a lot,
and, sure, she does our accounting,
181
00:08:57,954 --> 00:09:00,706
but honestly
I'd say she's more like our CFO.
182
00:09:00,790 --> 00:09:03,834
I don't know too much
about her essential oils company,
183
00:09:03,918 --> 00:09:06,254
but I do recall it being international.
184
00:09:06,337 --> 00:09:08,673
Look, Eliza's the real deal.
185
00:09:08,756 --> 00:09:10,967
She's the backbone of this place
186
00:09:11,050 --> 00:09:14,345
and I have no idea
how I'll manage without her.
187
00:09:15,096 --> 00:09:18,474
Oh, you just wanted to confirm
she works at Blockbuster?
188
00:09:18,558 --> 00:09:22,395
Yes, I got carried away.
My apologies for wasting your time.
189
00:09:22,478 --> 00:09:23,478
Love you.
190
00:09:24,564 --> 00:09:26,816
- Damn it, I did it again.
- [Eliza] Thanks, Tim.
191
00:09:26,899 --> 00:09:30,194
That was really sweet,
you only sounded mildly deranged.
192
00:09:30,278 --> 00:09:32,738
- I meant every word.
- Even when you told them you love them?
193
00:09:32,822 --> 00:09:36,200
Hard to tell. We really built a rapport
over the course of that call.
194
00:09:36,284 --> 00:09:38,452
- Hmm.
- [chuckles] Anyway, good luck.
195
00:09:38,536 --> 00:09:41,122
I'll need it if I ever wanna
get out of this dump, right?
196
00:09:41,205 --> 00:09:43,666
That's funny because it stings.
197
00:09:43,749 --> 00:09:45,209
Dedicated my life to this dump.
198
00:09:45,293 --> 00:09:47,712
- Sorry, I was joking.
- I know.
199
00:09:47,795 --> 00:09:52,216
So, when are you headlining
TJ Chuckle's Laugh-A-Torium?
200
00:09:53,217 --> 00:09:54,343
Oh, yeah, the fire.
201
00:09:56,137 --> 00:09:57,138
[Connie groans]
202
00:09:57,221 --> 00:10:01,392
The red wire crosses with the green.
203
00:10:01,475 --> 00:10:03,728
- How long has she been at this?
- Hours.
204
00:10:03,811 --> 00:10:06,314
She even said
she had her puzzle diaper on.
205
00:10:06,397 --> 00:10:08,858
- Tell me that's a joke.
- [Thimble] Stick your thumb in me
206
00:10:08,941 --> 00:10:10,318
- for thumbs of fun.
- Yes.
207
00:10:10,401 --> 00:10:12,945
Stick your thumb in me... Stick... Stick...
208
00:10:13,029 --> 00:10:14,739
[distorted] Thumbs of fun... fun!
209
00:10:15,740 --> 00:10:19,535
I've been watching you struggle.
Do you mind if I take the reins?
210
00:10:19,619 --> 00:10:22,455
Touch my puzzle again,
and I'll kick your lurking ass
211
00:10:22,538 --> 00:10:24,624
to the Walmart parking lot
you were born in.
212
00:10:26,709 --> 00:10:29,295
[Western showdown music plays]
213
00:10:31,213 --> 00:10:34,800
All non-Blockbuster employees,
please clear the area.
214
00:10:37,511 --> 00:10:39,013
[exhales heavily]
215
00:10:40,473 --> 00:10:41,724
[Thimble] Hello, kid.
216
00:10:41,807 --> 00:10:45,019
We have these,
some Mystic River licorice rope,
217
00:10:45,102 --> 00:10:47,229
and a few boxes of Soapdish dinner mints.
218
00:10:47,313 --> 00:10:51,150
- Just the Before Sunrise gummies for me.
- I'm tempted to try some.
219
00:10:51,233 --> 00:10:53,486
They really capture
Julie Delpy's likeness.
220
00:10:53,569 --> 00:10:54,779
Oh, hey.
221
00:10:55,571 --> 00:10:59,033
Thought you would be
too busy with Ford Fiestas
222
00:10:59,116 --> 00:11:00,910
to take a victory lap so soon.
223
00:11:00,993 --> 00:11:03,954
- Yeah, I didn't take the job.
- Really?
224
00:11:04,038 --> 00:11:06,332
But you were so ready to move on.
225
00:11:06,415 --> 00:11:09,585
I was. But then I overheard
your glowing reference
226
00:11:09,669 --> 00:11:13,130
and realized
that I am the backbone of this place.
227
00:11:13,214 --> 00:11:15,966
But this seems like
such a good opportunity.
228
00:11:16,050 --> 00:11:20,262
Are you forgetting the block party?
Inventory? You need me.
229
00:11:20,346 --> 00:11:22,473
That company's a well-oiled machine.
230
00:11:22,556 --> 00:11:26,185
Blockbuster is where
I can make the greatest impact.
231
00:11:26,268 --> 00:11:30,106
It's hard to replace the meaningful
and satisfying work I do here.
232
00:11:30,189 --> 00:11:31,649
- Excuse me?
- Yeah.
233
00:11:31,732 --> 00:11:35,820
What's the movie where the weird space bug
with a glowing finger dresses like a lady?
234
00:11:35,903 --> 00:11:37,405
- E.T.
- No. The other one.
235
00:11:37,488 --> 00:11:41,367
- The other one?
- Why do I bother with you dumbasses?
236
00:11:41,450 --> 00:11:42,451
[scoffs]
237
00:11:43,744 --> 00:11:46,956
Like I said, meaningful and satisfying.
238
00:11:47,039 --> 00:11:48,207
[chuckles]
239
00:11:49,750 --> 00:11:53,003
Gosh, I gave her that reference
to help her get the job.
240
00:11:53,087 --> 00:11:55,047
I didn't expect it to derail her.
241
00:11:55,131 --> 00:11:58,634
She's the backbone of Blockbuster,
but she needs to diversify as a backbone.
242
00:11:58,718 --> 00:12:01,929
I can't be responsible
for her not being someone else's backbone.
243
00:12:02,012 --> 00:12:02,847
What do I do?
244
00:12:02,930 --> 00:12:05,516
I don't know,
what do they do in the movies?
245
00:12:05,599 --> 00:12:08,853
What's the opposite of going to an airport
to stop someone from leaving?
246
00:12:08,936 --> 00:12:10,730
[Eric] Oh! Kicking you out of the house,
247
00:12:10,813 --> 00:12:14,442
saying "Eric, stop smoking so much weed.
Go get your job back at Ernst & Young."
248
00:12:14,525 --> 00:12:17,862
I need help convincing her to leave.
I gotta go fix this.
249
00:12:22,241 --> 00:12:24,160
- It's weird that he listened to us.
- Right?
250
00:12:24,243 --> 00:12:28,706
[gasps] I got the apartment.
Oh, I can't wait to live by myself.
251
00:12:28,789 --> 00:12:30,916
You're gonna live by yourself? A teenager?
252
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:32,760
While I, an adult,
live with three roommates?
253
00:12:32,793 --> 00:12:34,462
Living alone sounds so glamorous.
254
00:12:34,545 --> 00:12:38,883
You can put up as many pictures
of Jesse Tyler Ferguson as you want.
255
00:12:38,966 --> 00:12:39,842
Yes.
256
00:12:39,925 --> 00:12:43,596
After I go to Western Union
and send over the $100 pre-deposit,
257
00:12:43,679 --> 00:12:46,098
I can finally actually see the apartment.
258
00:12:46,182 --> 00:12:48,392
Wait, wait, wait. $100 pre-deposit?
259
00:12:48,476 --> 00:12:51,687
It's not normal to pay money
to just see an apartment.
260
00:12:52,271 --> 00:12:54,982
Well, no, a lot of places
do pre-deposits now.
261
00:12:55,065 --> 00:12:57,335
- My landlord told me.
- [Carlos] This doesn't sound right.
262
00:12:57,359 --> 00:12:58,861
We're just looking out for you.
263
00:12:58,944 --> 00:13:00,780
I won't let some jealous haters
264
00:13:00,863 --> 00:13:02,782
stop me from getting a place
that's so cool
265
00:13:02,865 --> 00:13:05,326
it's technically in two zip codes.
266
00:13:08,329 --> 00:13:10,998
You need to talk to Kayla.
She's trying to rent an apartment,
267
00:13:11,081 --> 00:13:12,124
and we think it's a scam.
268
00:13:12,208 --> 00:13:15,211
- We tried to stop her.
- Not that hard 'cause we're scared of her.
269
00:13:15,294 --> 00:13:16,879
[chuckles]
270
00:13:16,962 --> 00:13:18,506
Did Kayla put you guys up to this?
271
00:13:18,589 --> 00:13:22,343
Is she somewhere hiding, recording me?
Where you at Kayla, huh?
272
00:13:22,426 --> 00:13:25,763
- You trying to go viral again?
- No. This is serious.
273
00:13:26,514 --> 00:13:27,640
[Percy] Oh.
274
00:13:29,099 --> 00:13:31,852
Then this is my moment. Kayla needs me.
275
00:13:33,354 --> 00:13:34,897
I gotta help my baby girl.
276
00:13:38,651 --> 00:13:40,778
I was just waiting around
277
00:13:40,861 --> 00:13:43,781
to see if someone was gonna
compliment me on my parenting skills.
278
00:13:44,406 --> 00:13:46,992
Okay, I'm going. I'm going.
279
00:13:47,076 --> 00:13:49,370
Okay, Kayla, here comes daddy. Whoo!
280
00:13:49,453 --> 00:13:51,789
A father's work is never done.
281
00:13:53,415 --> 00:13:55,376
Is anyone gonna finish his fries?
282
00:14:01,090 --> 00:14:03,342
I wanna talk to whoever's in charge.
283
00:14:05,803 --> 00:14:07,680
I wanna talk to the owner.
284
00:14:11,100 --> 00:14:13,519
Hi, Andrea. There's a man here for you.
285
00:14:13,602 --> 00:14:17,314
I don't know. I'll ask. You're not the guy
from Facebook Marketplace, are you?
286
00:14:17,398 --> 00:14:19,108
She says that shower head is listed as is.
287
00:14:19,191 --> 00:14:20,776
- [whispers] No.
- He says no.
288
00:14:20,860 --> 00:14:23,070
He could be lying,
but I am inclined to trust him.
289
00:14:23,153 --> 00:14:25,406
- So who should I...?
- Oh, Andrea?
290
00:14:25,489 --> 00:14:27,783
- Mm-hmm?
- I need to talk to you about Eliza Walker.
291
00:14:27,867 --> 00:14:31,036
She's considering passing on the job,
you have to fight for her.
292
00:14:31,120 --> 00:14:35,124
Ah. We didn't offer her the job.
And believe me, she begged.
293
00:14:35,207 --> 00:14:37,084
She did not wanna go back
to Hollywood Video.
294
00:14:37,167 --> 00:14:39,295
- It's Blockbuster.
- Sorry.
295
00:14:39,378 --> 00:14:41,714
I got confused
because she only referred to it
296
00:14:41,797 --> 00:14:44,300
as the rotting corpse of '90s retail hell.
297
00:14:44,383 --> 00:14:45,301
[chuckles]
298
00:14:45,384 --> 00:14:47,678
- Really? That's not a joke?
- No.
299
00:14:47,761 --> 00:14:50,598
I was just with her.
She said you made the offer.
300
00:14:50,681 --> 00:14:52,349
From what I gleaned from her résumé,
301
00:14:52,433 --> 00:14:54,476
I get the feeling
Eliza says a lot of things.
302
00:14:54,560 --> 00:14:55,394
It was so chaotic,
303
00:14:55,477 --> 00:14:58,188
the only reason I brought her in
was to see if she was real.
304
00:14:58,272 --> 00:15:02,234
- She claims she went to Harvard.
- Well, that part is actually true.
305
00:15:02,318 --> 00:15:05,321
Wow. Unfortunately that is not
how she presented herself.
306
00:15:05,404 --> 00:15:07,281
So, feel free to take a pen.
307
00:15:07,364 --> 00:15:10,200
When you flip it upside down
the Sebring becomes a convertible.
308
00:15:10,284 --> 00:15:13,037
I can't believe she would slam Blockbuster
and lie to me.
309
00:15:13,120 --> 00:15:14,455
Mm-hmm. Okay, bye.
310
00:15:21,754 --> 00:15:22,880
What happened?
311
00:15:22,963 --> 00:15:24,840
I thought I knew what I was doing, but...
312
00:15:25,299 --> 00:15:26,759
I got scammed, Daddy.
313
00:15:29,637 --> 00:15:30,637
Bring it in.
314
00:15:31,055 --> 00:15:34,266
Come on, I know. I know.
Bring it in. Come on.
315
00:15:35,768 --> 00:15:37,227
We'll take care of it.
316
00:15:38,979 --> 00:15:40,564
What's the ETA on this?
317
00:15:40,648 --> 00:15:42,650
I wanna be the first
to stick my thumb in it.
318
00:15:42,733 --> 00:15:45,277
I'm gonna regret this, but why?
319
00:15:45,361 --> 00:15:48,781
Being first is a huge badge of honor
among Thimble Heads.
320
00:15:48,864 --> 00:15:51,325
The puzzle is done when I say it's done.
321
00:15:51,408 --> 00:15:54,703
I took the morning off work,
I need to get back to the oncology clinic.
322
00:15:54,787 --> 00:15:58,040
- You're an oncologist?
- There are Thimble Heads in every career.
323
00:15:58,123 --> 00:16:01,835
Let's just say that there was a thimble
in the White House.
324
00:16:01,919 --> 00:16:05,255
[groans] God, you...
Go wait over there until we're done.
325
00:16:05,339 --> 00:16:06,840
We need space.
326
00:16:06,924 --> 00:16:08,133
To build.
327
00:16:09,134 --> 00:16:10,135
[groans]
328
00:16:10,970 --> 00:16:12,554
[whispers] Don't worry, I got this.
329
00:16:12,638 --> 00:16:16,100
And the sooner we finish,
the sooner that sicko will leave.
330
00:16:16,183 --> 00:16:17,183
[man] I heard that.
331
00:16:18,477 --> 00:16:19,478
You're not wrong.
332
00:16:20,187 --> 00:16:21,313
I hate him.
333
00:16:24,233 --> 00:16:27,569
You're gonna give up a job
with health, dental, vision...
334
00:16:27,653 --> 00:16:29,655
- Don't forget paid time off.
- Yeah.
335
00:16:29,738 --> 00:16:31,949
It's crucial
for a healthy work-life balance.
336
00:16:32,032 --> 00:16:33,701
- [Carlos] ...for this?
- Yep.
337
00:16:33,784 --> 00:16:35,786
Some things are more important
338
00:16:35,869 --> 00:16:38,872
than healthy benefits and upward mobility.
339
00:16:38,956 --> 00:16:42,376
Plus, you all depend on me
and I like it here.
340
00:16:42,459 --> 00:16:44,420
Huh, that's interesting.
341
00:16:44,503 --> 00:16:48,465
I was at Round-The-Clock Car Rental
and heard a different story.
342
00:16:48,549 --> 00:16:50,968
You won't believe the conversation I had.
343
00:16:51,051 --> 00:16:53,178
What would you have to talk about
besides her?
344
00:16:53,262 --> 00:16:55,264
[Mitch] I bet they were giving Timmy
a play-by-play
345
00:16:55,347 --> 00:16:57,766
of all the cutthroat negotiations
they used to reel her in.
346
00:16:57,850 --> 00:17:00,602
Eliza told us.
Hope you didn't burn too many bridges.
347
00:17:00,686 --> 00:17:02,604
Maybe you could put a good word in for me?
348
00:17:02,688 --> 00:17:07,109
I'm not sure Eliza has that kind of pull
over at Round-The-Clock Car Rental,
349
00:17:07,192 --> 00:17:08,694
but what would I know?
350
00:17:08,777 --> 00:17:10,529
I just work in retail hell.
351
00:17:11,530 --> 00:17:12,656
You talked to Andrea.
352
00:17:12,740 --> 00:17:13,741
Sure did.
353
00:17:13,824 --> 00:17:16,076
Okay. I can explain.
354
00:17:17,536 --> 00:17:18,536
Um...
355
00:17:19,580 --> 00:17:20,581
[clears throat]
356
00:17:21,206 --> 00:17:25,127
The truth is, it's tough out there and...
357
00:17:26,045 --> 00:17:29,048
I thought I could just
jump back into the workforce,
358
00:17:29,131 --> 00:17:32,259
but I... Look, I don't deserve...
359
00:17:32,342 --> 00:17:35,054
The money they were offering you.
360
00:17:35,137 --> 00:17:37,681
No, you deserve more,
361
00:17:37,765 --> 00:17:39,683
which is why I put up the fight of my life
362
00:17:39,767 --> 00:17:42,061
to keep them
from headhunting my best employee.
363
00:17:42,144 --> 00:17:46,648
They were preparing a new offer
to change your mind, but I fought dirty.
364
00:17:46,732 --> 00:17:48,901
- Huh?
- I told them you'd say that.
365
00:17:48,984 --> 00:17:51,445
Eliza. Please.
366
00:17:51,528 --> 00:17:55,449
You need to stay at Blockbuster.
I will double your salary.
367
00:17:56,033 --> 00:17:57,284
Double? Really?
368
00:17:57,367 --> 00:17:59,203
Maybe not double, but something. Triple.
369
00:17:59,286 --> 00:18:01,288
That's more than double.
We'll figure it out.
370
00:18:01,371 --> 00:18:03,707
Wait. Are you sure?
You can barely afford to pay us.
371
00:18:03,791 --> 00:18:05,793
This feels like a gesture
more than anything.
372
00:18:05,876 --> 00:18:07,795
You heard him. We'll figure it out.
373
00:18:07,878 --> 00:18:10,255
- So Eliza's staying?
- Yes, she's staying.
374
00:18:10,339 --> 00:18:12,800
If she wants. This isn't a prison camp.
375
00:18:12,883 --> 00:18:16,136
Thank God.
Timmy would've crumbled without you.
376
00:18:16,220 --> 00:18:17,304
That is true.
377
00:18:17,387 --> 00:18:20,682
But I did do a pretty nice job of solving
the snack supply issue and I deserve...
378
00:18:20,766 --> 00:18:23,352
Ah! This candy broke my tooth.
379
00:18:23,435 --> 00:18:24,435
What?
380
00:18:25,979 --> 00:18:28,607
"August: Osage County candy corn."
381
00:18:28,690 --> 00:18:31,276
Great play,
that's where it should've ended.
382
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:32,611
- I paid for these.
- Oh, wait.
383
00:18:32,694 --> 00:18:34,655
- [Eliza] No.
- You're gonna eat more?
384
00:18:34,738 --> 00:18:36,115
- No.
- [Eliza] Please don't.
385
00:18:36,198 --> 00:18:38,909
- You don't have to...
- Yeah, okay.
386
00:18:41,036 --> 00:18:44,248
I knew something was off.
I mean, you always ignore me.
387
00:18:44,331 --> 00:18:48,043
I've never seen you ignore mangos.
Why do you need an apartment?
388
00:18:48,127 --> 00:18:50,462
Mom is on my case, like, all the time.
389
00:18:50,546 --> 00:18:51,630
Typical Shaina.
390
00:18:51,713 --> 00:18:53,799
"Drink more water.
Stop going to bed at 2 a.m.
391
00:18:53,882 --> 00:18:56,135
Don't drive blindfolded

392
00:18:56,218 --> 00:18:58,098
"Stop leaving burger wrappers
on the nightstand.
393
00:18:58,178 --> 00:18:59,429
Stop buying ATVs.
394
00:18:59,513 --> 00:19:02,307
Stop bringing stray dogs home.
That is a coyote.
395
00:19:02,391 --> 00:19:05,227
You don't know the difference
between a coyote and a damn dog?"
396
00:19:05,310 --> 00:19:09,106
She's just always policing me
and I can't live in a police state.
397
00:19:09,189 --> 00:19:11,066
Yeah. I get it.
398
00:19:11,150 --> 00:19:13,610
I don't want to throw your mom
under the bus, but...
399
00:19:13,694 --> 00:19:17,531
But, believe it or not,
your mom is just looking out for you.
400
00:19:17,614 --> 00:19:20,409
Making sure you're safe.
Doing what a mother should do.
401
00:19:20,492 --> 00:19:23,996
But if you ever feel overwhelmed
and need a break from her,
402
00:19:24,079 --> 00:19:27,207
like I did, you can always stay with me.
403
00:19:27,791 --> 00:19:29,209
- I can?
- Yeah.
404
00:19:29,835 --> 00:19:32,713
- Your coyote hates me.
- Chris ran off months ago.
405
00:19:32,796 --> 00:19:36,550
I don't know what his issue was.
All I said was, "My food, your food."
406
00:19:36,633 --> 00:19:38,302
He got offended. Hmm.
407
00:19:38,385 --> 00:19:41,680
Ah. He was a great friend. Look here.
408
00:19:42,431 --> 00:19:45,934
I'm your dad.
And I'm gonna always want you around.
409
00:19:46,018 --> 00:19:48,103
You know what my best days are?
410
00:19:48,187 --> 00:19:52,900
My best days are when you're working
and I get a chance to spend time with you.
411
00:19:52,983 --> 00:19:55,861
- Ugh. Okay, no need to be thirsty, Percy.
- [chuckles] Yeah.
412
00:19:57,487 --> 00:20:00,073
- Can I stay at your place tonight?
- Let me think about it.
413
00:20:00,157 --> 00:20:01,033
Hmm...
414
00:20:01,116 --> 00:20:03,619
Yes, you can stay at my place tonight.
415
00:20:04,661 --> 00:20:08,665
And, listen, getting scammed
is nothing to be ashamed of.
416
00:20:08,749 --> 00:20:11,877
That means you trust people.
You have a trusting soul.
417
00:20:12,544 --> 00:20:15,297
Believe me,
your dad has been scammed a bunch.
418
00:20:15,380 --> 00:20:17,466
Almost made
the Guinness Book of World Records
419
00:20:17,549 --> 00:20:20,260
for being scammed
the greatest number of times.
420
00:20:21,136 --> 00:20:22,804
Turns out, that was a scam.
421
00:20:24,598 --> 00:20:28,894
- Look, I did it! It's perfect.
- Stick your thumb in me for thumbs of fun!

00:20:28,977 --> 00:20:30,187
[Hannah] Wow!
423
00:20:31,104 --> 00:20:33,315
- Wow...
- [Carlos] Mm-hmm.
424
00:20:33,398 --> 00:20:38,070
I mean, it's mostly held together
by duct tape and hope, but you did it.
425
00:20:38,153 --> 00:20:41,365
- [Connie] No need to be rude.
- Finally. Can I have a turn now?
426
00:20:41,448 --> 00:20:45,327
I could smell you before I saw you,
you son of a bitch.
427
00:20:45,953 --> 00:20:50,249
And if anyone is sticking
their thumb in first, it's me.
428
00:20:50,332 --> 00:20:51,332

I may have gotten a little out of hand.

- [Carlos] What's really going on here?
- It's just that...
443
00:21:37,629 --> 00:21:40,090
growing up, my sister was good at school.
444
00:21:40,173 --> 00:21:45,512
My brother was amazing at baseball,
and puzzles were my thing.
445
00:21:46,263 --> 00:21:49,057
I guess I was worried
that I had lost my thing.
446
00:21:50,350 --> 00:21:53,895
First of all, based on
what you've told us about your sister,
447
00:21:53,979 --> 00:21:56,064
things haven't worked out for her.
448
00:21:56,148 --> 00:21:57,983
She does only have one husband now.
449
00:21:58,066 --> 00:22:00,652
And you didn't lose your puzzle skills.
450
00:22:00,736 --> 00:22:03,989
Even if you did,
you have lots of things you're good at.
451
00:22:04,072 --> 00:22:07,701
You're the only one who knows
how to laminate membership cards
452
00:22:07,784 --> 00:22:10,537
and you stopped that girl
from bullying us.
453
00:22:10,620 --> 00:22:14,541
Plus, you're fluent in Albanian
and too modest to tell us why.
454
00:22:14,624 --> 00:22:17,794
Oh, guys. That's so sweet.
455
00:22:18,670 --> 00:22:19,963
[speaking Albanian]
456
00:22:21,673 --> 00:22:22,758
- Nice.
- [Hannah] Whoo!
457
00:22:26,720 --> 00:22:30,599
- You didn't have to help me with this.
- What? Of course I did.
458
00:22:30,682 --> 00:22:34,436
- I'm the backbone of this place, remember?
- How could I forget?
459
00:22:34,519 --> 00:22:37,230
This "rotting corpse of '90s retail hell."
460
00:22:37,314 --> 00:22:38,148
Yeah.
461
00:22:38,231 --> 00:22:40,817
I'm sorry, I didn't mean to call it that.
462
00:22:40,901 --> 00:22:43,362
I really wanted that job
463
00:22:43,445 --> 00:22:46,198
and I think I let my nerves
get the best of me.
464
00:22:47,741 --> 00:22:52,287
But, you know, I'm so used
to taking care of other people,
465
00:22:52,371 --> 00:22:55,916
it was really nice
to have someone in my corner for once.
466
00:22:55,999 --> 00:22:57,501
You deserve it.

00:22:58,502 --> 00:23:02,672
Aaron thinks that he looks out for me,
but it's not in his nature.

the day we found out
this was the last Blockbuster.
473
00:23:17,979 --> 00:23:20,899
Maybe the store isn't just renting movies.
474
00:23:20,982 --> 00:23:22,109
People gather here,
475
00:23:22,192 --> 00:23:25,153
we offer an experience
that doesn't exist anywhere else.
476
00:23:25,237 --> 00:23:27,989
It's special.
We've gotta share that, you know?
477
00:23:28,073 --> 00:23:28,907
Do events.
478
00:23:28,990 --> 00:23:31,535
Maybe even one for Christmas,
for some old holiday movie.
479
00:23:31,618 --> 00:23:34,996

that don't involve expired snack foods.

00:23:45,215 --> 00:23:48,135
Well, I'm glad, because I was thinking,
485
00:23:48,218 --> 00:23:52,639
maybe this could be your first order
of business as my assistant manager?
486
00:23:52,722 --> 00:23:57,102
Oh! More responsibility for the same pay?
487
00:23:57,811 --> 00:23:59,604
I love it. I'm in.
