The National Weather Service
has issued a heightened tornado watch.
Everybody stay inside!
We are gonna lock this place down!
Dear lord Jesus, in your infinite power and compassion,
please save us!
I love you, Jeff! I didn't want to die
without letting you know how I feel!
Hey! Sandra! Sandra!
Dear Allah, in your infinite power and compassion,
please save us from destruction.
Thank you for being there for me
and for keeping me calm.
Of course.
Anytime.
I hope you all had an amazing vacation.
By "vacation," you mean the two months
we were laid off without pay?
Uh-huh. Anyways,
I've been doing a lot of soul-searching
since the tornado, and... - Coming through!
Almost got me there. And... and it's been raising
some big questions for me. Questions like...
Questions that...
Why did the tornado hit us?
And why did it stop when I prayed to Allah?
And why... - Ah!
Sorry. I almost fell.
Does that mean that Allah is the one true god?
Or that Allah and Jesus are the same god?
Or... or that they're different gods,
but with varying responsibilities?
What's the meaning of...
What's the...
So that's what I've been thinking about.
Anyone else have thoughts on that?
Okay, then.
Let's get to work!
What was that, a 20-minute walk?
23.
Remember, single file when we cross the highway.
Are we cloud one? No.
Wow, that's really bad luck.
Yeah, it... well, it wasn't just my apartment.
The tornado leveled the whole building, so...
Scary. Were you in it at the time?
No, I was... here, at the time.
Oh, right. Blonde moment.
Yeah, so anyway, everything I own is gone,
and now I'm... I'm living in a FEMA trailer.
So in a way, you're officially trailer trash now?
Well, I am living in a trailer, so...
Ha. Admits it.
Oh. Why don't you move into Garrett's apartment?
No! No.
I mean... nah.
Jonah doesn't want to live with a roommate. He's an adult.
Yeah, no. I... I mean, I... I would, I would love that,
but I would never... I would never impose.
But I mean, it wouldn't be a problem. I could do it.
It's just that it's... really cramped.
Sure, sure, yeah.
Oh. I thought you had a two-bedroom.
Ah, okay. Sure, yes,
you know, if you want to get architectural about it,
then yes, I do have a second bedroom,
but, when you use a wheelchair, you need multiple bedrooms.
Oh. Why?
Safety.
Excuse me. Gotta go.
Oops. Sorry.
Back at it, huh?
Yeah. Yeah, it's like we never left.
So, uh, how are things at home?
Emma. How's... how's Emma?
Awesome. Yeah, she's starting high school.
Oh, wow. Uh, that's exciting. Teenager.
- I know. I know, right? - Look out!
Oh boy.
Uh...
So, we... we never... talked about the...
Do we have to?
Oh, yeah, no, I mean, I'd rather not,
if you don't need to.
No! I don't. I don't need to.
Great. Yeah, no, I don't need to either.
No, yeah. Same. Same...
Same team. Just, uh, you know.
Didn't want...
Things to be awkward.
- No! Awkward. - Pfft.
It's not awkward. It's fine. I'm fine.
- Yeah, I'm fine. - You are fine.
I mean fine, like you're... - I am super-fine.
- Hey, Marcus! - Marcus!
Hey, what's going on, buddy?
Just carrying some stuff.
Classic Marcus.
Hang out!
Yeah, I'm glad they hired you back.
Okay. Thanks. I will.
Hey, listen, I've been thinking
we should kick Mateo out of the friend group.
So, maybe they're the same god,
but with different responsibilities.
- Yes, can we table that? - Oh, sures.
I just want to make sure that, construction aside,
you're going to be ready for the opening.
Oh, don't worry. I got your email right here.
Uh, we got door prizes,
and Minions for the kids,
and Howie Mandel's coming?
No, not the head of marketing.
The comedian. Same name.
Oh. Well, relax. I'm not going to let you down.
Good. I'll see you today at 3:00.
Oh. Why're you coming at 3:00?
For the opening.
Uh-huh.
It says, "Bring back the staff
a week before the grand opening, on the 28th."
Today's the 28th.
Well, he couldn't be more clear!
Yes! He could've said "The grand opening,
which is on the 28th."
This makes the 28th sound like the start date!
"Bring back the staff a week before the grand opening...
"on the 28th." Yeah, this is confusing.
No! "Bring back the staff a week before...
the grand opening on the 28th."
He didn't say it like that. You're adding emphasis.
Okay, guys. We just need to figure out
what we're going to do.
Or as Dina would put it,
"We need to figure out
what we're gonna do."
Maybe I would. Maybe I would say it like that.
.
Attention, employee...
Attention. Test. Testing.
Ah, damn it.
Listen up, everybody!
We're opening today in, like, four hours!
So that means we need to be ready in, like, four hours!
To be honest,
I don't think we can do that.
Just doesn't seem possible.
It's not something that can be accomplished.
But that's just my opinion, though.
All right. Peace!
Okay, so we don't have much time,
which means we need to stock the shelves
with the big items first, and...
Wait.
What if we just set up one aisle,
take a picture of it,
blow that bad boy up life-sized,
and then just slap it over all the other aisles? Boom.
Uh-huh, maybe.
Look, we can always redo stuff tomorrow,
so for now, it's better to do things fast and bad
than slow and good.
But fast and good is better.
What are you doing?
What? Fast and good is better
than fast and bad.
Yes, but for now,
we're gonna prioritize speed.
Okay. I'm... I'm prioritizing both.
You can't prioritize both!
Forget it. Just make the place
look as good as possible before Jeff gets here.
Wait. Jeff is coming... today?
Yep.
How about slow and bad?
Ugh.
- Hey. - Hey.
- What is going on here? - Oh, I, uh...
I can't shower in the mornings
because Cliff, in the adjoining trailer,
only takes baths.
Well, gotta do what you gotta do.
Yeah. It's... it's just until I find a place,
or someone who will let me stay with them, so...
Mm-hmm. Well, I'ma...
Yeah, yeah, yeah. Yeah, you do you. Yeah.
What'd you say? - Huh?
Oh, I... I thought you said something.
I didn't say anything.
All right.
We are looking for Minions costumes only.
What in the name of God is "Lego Ninjago?"
Excuse me.
Just hang on. Uh, we're closed.
You're going to need to come back at 3:00.
I'm not a customer. I'm Howie.
Mandel.
I was told to be here at 11:00.
Oh, you're working here?
Yeah, kinda.
