Tow

I'm sorry. I'm a little confused.

Have you worked in a veterinary office before?

Because I'm not seeing it here.

I see you've worked in several bars.

Music venues, actually.

Uh... I mean, they all...

You know, they served alcohol

but it was really all about music

at that time in my...

I'm sorry. That... Doesn't matter. Not important.

Um... Yeah. The vet tech work is there.

It's in the margins?

I, uh... Yeah, my printer's offline right now

so I just updated it manually with a pen.

You can think of it as, like, artisanal.

Anyway, so, uh, the clinic was off Aurora?

It's a busy place and I...

I just... I loved it there and they loved me.

I mean, for the most part.

You can call over and ask.

Um...

Just make sure you call after 6:00 p.m.

and ask for Becky Ferndale.

She's the night shift manager there.

Um... Yeah.

She really runs the place

despite what anyone else might say.

Anyway, I, uh, I renewed my vet tech license recently,

so that's all up to snuff,

and, um, I am ready to work.

You don't have a college degree.

You need a college degree

to stick a thermometer up a dog's ass?

Well, it's more about interpersonal skills.

I know what it's about.

You know, I-I'm...

I'm really running out of options here

and, uh, you know, I-I need to work. I'll...

I'll pretty much do anything.

I'm afraid we're-we're looking for someone

with more consistent experience at this time.

I got consistent experience

with being screwed over by assholes.

Does that count?

-Thanks for coming by. -Yeah. Thanks for saying

the opposite of what you mean.

Is that what they teach you in college?

Two hundred grand well spent.

Oh, shit. Shit.

Hi!

You said 5:00.

Sorry I'm late.

-I'm slammed at work today. -It's okay.

Dad's grilling steaks for dinner,

so I can only talk for a minute.

Ave, I've been thinking about you and the contest all day.

How was it?

Horrible.

I got fourth.

It's total bullshit.

I did a perfect Squirtle from Dark Souls II

and they didn't even get it.

Of course.

They're small time, you're a cosplay queen.

Stop pretending you know about it.

If I can't even win a local contest,

I'll never make it to masquerade level

and I really want to compete in front of Yaya Han.

Yaya who?

Yaya Han.

She's a legend.

You should see her calendar.

I really want to meet her.

I, um...

I had this idea that maybe I could start a business

where I make costumes for other people.

I've been getting pretty good at sewing and--

Ave, I know how important this is to you

and I want to help.

You know, as soon as I pay off

my vet school loans--

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

No, I, uh...

We can talk about this at Christmas

when I come visit.

I wanna invest

at ground level

whatever creative, crazy shit you're doing.

You're busy.

I gotta go. I'll see you later.

Wait, don't hang up. Avery!

Shit.

Okay.

The safe lot is full tonight.

Is there anything you can do?

No, I can't do anything. I'm sorry.

-It's just full. -Been waiting for hours!

Sorry, ma'am. We're full tonight.

I've been coming here three weeks.

What do you mean?

The city closed the SoDo lot,

moved half of us up here today.

You couldn't let me know sooner?

Where am I supposed to go?

At least you have your car.

Yeah. I see you, Yaya Han.

No!

Just you in there, ma'am?

Who's that?

Oh, shit.

Jesus!

SRT, really?

You look familiar.

Yeah. Yeah, I get that a lot. I'm not Sheryl Crow.

-Sorry. -No, I busted you before.

Busted me? For what?

Vehicular loitering.

It's a crime. King County Ordinance 1202.

You're not a cop.

No, but I've been deputized

by the Seattle Police Department to combat homelessness.

My daughter used to get a wing pin from the pilot.

It didn't mean that she could fly the fucking plane.

Okay. You can't sleep here.

-I'm calling this in. -Oh, wow.

Oh, look at you.

Who are you gonna call? Batman? Green Goblin?

Peet's Coffee for matcha?

I don't make the laws, ma'am, I just enforce them.

Yeah, you don't enforce them either.

- Kaplan dispatch, please. - You don't do shit.

Oh, you're gonna have me towed?

-You leave me no choice. -There's always a choice.

Go ahead. You got a license?

Okay. Well, hold on.

Oh, no. She's leaving.

Alright, let's head over to Home Depot.

I thought it was safer for my dog

to shit in my own apartment...

than risk arrest from the DEA,

who I was certain was camped out across the street.

After a particularly speedy batch of cocaine,

that's when I knew I needed help.

That said, it had to get even worse

before I could bring myself to a meeting.

It's good to see you, Amanda.

I liked your share.

Whenever you're ready, we'd love to hear you share.

I'm good listening. Works for me.

Shit.

So you have a vet tech license but no college degree.

Hi.

Yeah, uh...

College wasn't really an option for me.

Well, our clients are really particular

about who handles their dogs.

Steve Jobs didn't finish college

and he turned out okay.

-Yeah. -Has he always been making that noise?

Don't touch my dog, please. This is poor little Microchip.

- Aw. - He has allergies.

The brachycephalic usually do. You know what can really help?

Just a little eucalyptus oil in their collar.

A little tip, it really opens up the passages.

Wow.

And then, um, over here we have the wonderful Edwina

who does our puppy massages.

And, um, she is very popular.

New appointments open up at noon on Mondays.

Oh.

Can I be reincarnated as a dog?

-Uh, you have a car, right? -Mm-hmm. Yeah, sure do.

Okay, um, we can start you on pick-up duty Monday morning,

-Okay. -Yeah.

Oh, and I said "pick-up duty"

which we also do...

a lot of here, so.

Welcome to the team.

Oh.

Thank you.

Get the... get the photo before the dog jumps out of the tub.

Smile.

Your owner's gonna love this.

Fuck!

No! Fuck! Fuck!

Goddamn it!

- Seattle PD. - Yes, I'd like...

Hello? Ma'am? Ma'am?

-Hello? -Yes, I'd like to report a s...

Car? Stolen car, please?

Give me your location.

I am...

A stolen car! I'm off of Aurora!

-North of Aurora! -License plate?

Yes! Yes! ADQ-377!

-You call me when-- -ADQ-377?

Amanda Ogle.

Yeah.

Hello, is this Amanda Ogle?

Yes. Yes, that's me.
