29. Hey, Martha. Correspondence course.

30. Wow, I didn't know you went back to school.

31. - That's so great. - Yeah.

32. You just wait until your manager has a degree in management.

41. That's okay.

42. We all have our regular jobs here.

43. But we do have to sell executive memberships to the Costco club,

44. and Doug was looking through your file,

45. and apparently, you haven't sold one.

46. Um, to be honest, Kevin, I'm not really much of a salesperson.

47. I'm more of an insurance wiz.

48. I know, but... but Doug said you have to pull your weight

49. when it comes to the executive membership sales,

50. or else, you know...

51. He'd fire me?

52. That ax is mine... Mine to hold.

53. - Oh. - Yeah.

54. If I fired you, would you cry?

55. I might cry,

56. but I would wait until I was in my car.

57. Um, Kevin, are you okay?

58. I've never had to fire anyone before.

59. I've been practicing on myself.

60. Fired myself five times last night, and I can't do this.

61. Okay, well, don't worry. I won't put you through that.

62. I can sell one membership. That's easy.

63. Really? Thank you so much, Martha.

64. Um, if I can't sell a membership,

65. would it be easier for you if I just went missing?

66. Did you know that you can get a lot of money back?

67. Have you ever thought about how much money you can save...

68. What are you murmuring about, you maniac?

69. Hey, did you know that you could save all kinds of money with...

70. Oh, god, there's that word again!

71. Money, money, money, money, money!

72. So all this country talks about is money.

73. I'm sorry, I should not have yelled at you.

74. You're just making conversation.

75. What's wrong?

76. It's just I'm late on rent again.

77. It's something they don't teach you in clown college, that's for sure.

78. Well, I would loan you the money,

79. but I'm saving up to get this app.

80. So maybe your wife could loan it to you.

81. She'll just ask for it back right away.

82. Hmm. What about your brother?

83. I owe him $40 already.

84. Oh.

85. Hey, I know. You could ask your mom.

169. I was wondering, can I intercieve a Cosco executive membership.

170. The saving can be up to... What?

171. Okay, I gotta go. Sorry.

172. Okay, for our first lesson, we'll do a little

173. table top clowning, okay?

174. Let's do it.

175. So, you dip your finger in something,

176. you bring it to your nose.

177. Happens to smell bad. Get it away from me.

178. Ah, you accidentally hit your finger and...

179. Mm! And that's feces at the end of your finger, okay?

180. All right, give it a try.

181. All right. So... dip, smell.

182. Ooh. Uh-oh.

183. Ah!

184. You want some notes?

185. Please, yeah.

186. I'm not believing that your fingers smell bad.

187. It didn't read in your eyes.

188. This is a goof smell. It's something...

189. You don't know what it smells like really,

190. so when you stick your fingers in,

191. when you bring it to your nose,

192. your eyes are gonna have to tell the audience,

193. "Hey, I'm smelling something goofy!"

194. So you're gonna have to do a goof look in your eyes.

195. Maybe cross your eyes. Can you do that?

196. Like this?

197. Just looks like you're lookin' at tennis.

198. No, I'm doin' it.

199. No, no, you're just shifting your eyes like this.

200. Yeah, that's what crossing is, man.

201. No, no, no. Relax. Breathe into the eyeballs.

202. Look at the end of your nose.

203. Like this, and then look up.

204. It's simple.

205. Take a look at the end of your nose.

206. Nice. And then gradually look up.

207. Looking up, looking up. There you go.

208. Eyeballs up. Eyeballs up.

209. Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up.

210. - Am I doing it? - Up, up, up, up, up, up, up, up...

211. Am I doing it? Am I doing it?

212. Okay, that looks too kabuki.

213. - That's too kabuki.

214. What's a kabuki?

215. It's a Japanese clown.

216. Yeah, dog. I knew them cats was down with it.

217. From the series "How A Manager Manages,"

218. "How To Fire Someone."

219. The first thing you're gonna want to do

220. is avoid eye contact.

221. If you look a person in the eye,

222. you might see 'em cry.

223. Step 2: Stay neutral. Stay unemotional.

224. Um, if this is a bad time, I can come back.

225. Martha, uh...

226. That was for school.

227. Okay, um, I have some bad news.

228. I'm really sorry, I tried my best and I.. and I...

229. You didn't sell the membership.

230. I did not sell the membership.

231. And now you're expecting to be fired?

232. Would it be easier if you just, like,

233. wrote "you're fired" on a piece of paper,

234. and left it on my desk?

235. No. I have to do this.

236. Okay.

237. I can't.

238. I just can't do this. I'm not a manager.

239. I'm not a manager.

240. You're a great manager.

241. I wouldn't have even tried to sell memberships

242. if you hadn't encouraged me.

243. Slash, threatened me.

244. I'm gonna give you to Friday.

245. To go out and sell a membership.

246. Just one. And you're in the clear.

247. Um, well, thanks for the extension, Kevin,

248. but I'm probably just gonna use that time

249. to get ready to go missing.

250. No. Sell the membership.

251. Okay.

252. Man, this rodeo shit don't pay nothin'.

253. Yeah, but you're growing as an artist,

257. Hey, look, man. You have a choice.

258. Here, you're a real clown.

260. If you want to go make money, go get a job.

261. They pay the bills. That's why they're called jobs.

262. Well, you might as well work at Arby's, right?

314. Are you sure about this?

315. Nope, I'm not.

316. You know, my futon's still available.

317. We don't have to do the whole drink wine and make love thing.

318. I deserve this, Martha.

319. And you gotta stop hitting on me.

320. Well, it was your wife's idea.

321. Well, let's find you a room, a lot has changed since you lived here.

322. A lot.

323. Oh, this plant is out of control, isn't it?

324. Here's your old room. It's my personal gym now.

325. You probably don't want that.

326. No, this'll work.

327. Well, there's Dale's room, you know.

328. Well, there's cats in there, though.

329. You want to see my cats?

340. but they're deejays now.

341. - Successful deejays. - Oh.

342. Yeah, sometimes I come in and lay on the bunk.

343. Just to remember them?

344. Yeah.

345. Mrs. When they were kids,

346. they could jump from the floor into the top bunk.

347. Always over-achievers.

348. Well, I've got plenty of choices.

349. Just made my weekly run to Costco.

350. Tropical mango, dragon fruit.

351. Strawberry mango fever?

352. That's brand new.

353. You know, I got plenty of choices, honey.

354. If you don't see what you like here,

355. I've got a whole garage full of stuff.

356. - Oh. - I can't even park in there anymore.

357. It's crazy.

358. Which one do you want?

359. Actually, it's funny you mentioned Costco,

360. - because, um... - Uh.

361. I, um...

362. Wondered if I could interest you in a, um...

363. Uh... uh.

364. Uh. Would you... have you... do you, um...

365. Honey, get to the point.

366. Can I just... May I just use your restroom?

367. Sure! Think about wich one you want to drink.

368. Okay, thanks.

369. Okay. You can do this.

370. All right? All right.

371. Now that you mentioned Costco,

372. what if I told you you could save, um...

373. No. Okay.

374. Hey, what if I... you had the kind of membership that could take...

375. Mrs. Martha!

376. - Martha: Yes? - Oh, it's Mrs. Baskets.

377. - Christine. - Martha: Hi, Mrs. Baskets.

378. - Oh, you know me? - Martha: Yeah.

379. Martha, you were talking to yourself. Are you okay?

380. - Martha: I'm fine, Mrs. Baskets. - What is going on?

381. - Are you sure? - What is going on?

382. Your girlfriend is having a breakdown in there.

383. She... she's not my girlfriend.

384. Oh, now you're gonna turn on her

385. 'cause she's having a little psychotic breakdown?

386. - Martha! - Yes?

387. I'm gonna break the door down.

388. - Mom, don't do this. - One, two...

389. - Mother! - Three. I'm coming in, Martha!

390. Oh. Oh, Martha.

391. - What? I'm fine. - Oh, don't do that to me.

392. You're okay?

393. - I'm totally okay. - Oh, thank god.

394. - Are you okay? - Not really, Martha.

395. It triggered a whole thing.

396. You know, I've got history with crazy people.

397. Oh, let's get out of here. Turn the fan on.

398. - Oh. Chip! - Mom.

399. Oh, my god, don't scare me like that.

400. Are you okay, Chip?

401. - Fine. - Are you okay?

402. - Yeah. - Okay, Chip.

403. Get me a glass of Kirkland and a Klondike bar, kid.

404. - Okay. - Will ya?

405. - Martha, shut the door. - Oh. Whew.

406. Wait, why were you talking to yourself in there?

407. I was just practicing my pitch

408. to sell Mrs. Baskets a Costco executive membership.

409. Oh, honey, I've got the executive membership.

410. I've got every membership ever offered by Costco.

411. It was sweet of you, though.

412. Well, I'm sorry to have bothered you, Mrs. Baskets.

413. I didn't mean to freak you out in there.

414. No bother.

415. I'm just under a lot of stress at work right now,

416. 'cause if I don't sell one of these executive memberships,

417. I could lose my job.

418. And if that happens, it's gonna be really, really hard on my boss.

419. Would you like a bite?

420. Well, maybe I can buy an executive membership.

421. You don't have a membership?

422. - No. - Oh, my god.

423. How can you afford that?

424. I'll figure it out, Martha, I'll figure it out.

425. I'll pay for it.

426. I'll buy a membership for Chip.

427. Really?

428. We'll kill two birds with one stone.

429. You won't lose your job,

430. and Chip will learn some responsibility about spending.

431. 'Cause at Costco, you save money.

432. Wow. Thank you, Mrs. Baskets,

433. and thank you, Chip. I really appreciate it.

434. Oh, don't... Don't mention it.

435. - No, really, it... - It's not that big of a deal.

436. - I really appreciate it. - Shut up, Martha.

437. Eddie! Where's, uh...

438. - Eddie, where's, um... - Your freaky deaky protégé friend

439. - with the snake paint face? - Yeah.

440. Uh, he took your advice.

441. Oh, good, yeah. I was gonna give him this, uh...

442. He got a job.

443. Wait, where?

444. And a number 2 for my man.

445. Thank you so much. Horsey sauce right off to your side, man.

446. Hey, man!

447. Chip, look at me.

448. It's 'cause of you, man.

449. It's 'cause of you, come on.

450. Why?

451. That man right there is a great man.

452. He was my mentor.

453. Taught me everything I know.

454. Changes lives.

455. Mad clown love.

456. Well, welcome to Arby's. What can I get you?

457. How do you think they make a curly fry?

458. Do they cut 'em curly or...

459. Um, I think they have, like, a spiral knife maybe.

460. A spiral knife?

461. That's a fabulous idea! If you ever see one, pick one up for me.

462. Okay

463. There's nothing that would make me happier than make my own Curly fries.
