Corporate Animals

Food is more than just fuel.

It's sharing, it's conversation,it's hello and goodbye.

It's giving and receiving.

It's a prayer.

It's what we dream of and everything we fear.

Food is where we come from and it's what

we'll all eventually become.

But too much food creates waste.

Waste is destroying our world.

Environmentalists agree thatdisposable plastic cutlery

is the single greatest threat to our planet.

I'm Lucy Vanderton, and I created

Incredible Edible Cutlery to bring

an end to that destruction.

We all know you can'teat food without cutlery.

But now, you can eat cutlery without food.

Incredible Edible Cutlery isa vision for mankind's future.

As an ethnically diversefemale-led company innovating

in a white male-dominatedworld, we reflect that future,

our mission to rid the planetof disposable plastic cutlery

and save the world one bite at a time.

OK, this is bullshit.

Well, I think it's inspiring.

You're positive and you're uplifting.

And naive and stupid.

And-- and please, that family was fake as fuck.

OK, yeah.

I'll redo it.

Listen, do you remember the first thing

I said to you at Tufts?

That I saw a beautiful, intelligent black woman

who has the potential tobe the Beyonce of business.

That's why I agreed to mentor you.

I want that person back, Jess.

Listen to the Beyonce inside you, girlfriend.

All right, listen up Incredible Eatibles.

Edibles, Incredible Edibles.

Agree to disagree, but you're paying the bills.

Welcome to Brandon's Outdoor Experience.

Are you ready for the ultimateteam-building challenge?

It's called Ball Quest.

You guys can do this.

You're all working as a unit.

The ball's your enemy.

Don't let that piece of shit win.

Motherfucker.

It's too heavy.

We can't move this.

If we all push it together,do you think maybe we can?

How do we get it on the podium?

Excuse me, sir.

Are we allowed to put the podium on its side.

I can't tell you how to do it.

That'd be cheating, right?

Hey, we're not trying to cheat.

We just want to clarifywhat we can and cannot do.

Come on, people.

Figure it out.

Think team.

Aidan, go lay down in front of it.

We'll use you as a ramp.

That's fine with me, I guess.

Wait.

Hey, stop.

Don't lay down.

He's fucking with you.

Oh.

You almost got me there.

OK.

What we need to do is usethese two poles as a railroad

so we can roll the ballthingy up unto the thing.

OK, yeah.

And then use the ropes as a pulley system

to get the ball on top of the rails.

This is not fun at all.

It's not supposed to be fun.

OK, well it's working.

It's not moving.

Pull it harder.

Wait.

Use a pole as a lever.

Yeah, that's a good idea.

But we only have two poles.

Right.

And we need both the poles tomake the actual train tracks.

Jess, let's just forgetabout the railroad tracks, OK?

Let's just focus on movingthe ball toward the podium.

We'll worry about getting it up when we get there.

Oh, shit.

What?

Oh, gosh darn it, that--

that really hurt.

My leg.

Nice work, FT.

We have to try and move it somehow.

Have you got another pole, like a metal one?

I want to say that I'm mad, but I

am severely disappointed in every one of you,

especially you, Jess.

I'm embarrassed.

I'm sorry.

Lucy, I was--

I was trying.

Oh, gosh darn it.

We were having so much fun.

Oh damn, it's hot.

Hey, psst.

Lucy giving you a hard time, huh?

It comes with the territory.

You are the hate sponge.

The what?

The hate sponge, the punching bag.

I was the hate sponge for theyears until you came along.

My advice is, soak it in.

And if you ever get any feelings,

just push them down with booze and video games.

You'll find that life getseasier soon, very soon.

Did you just try to wink at me?

I did wink at you.

Yikes, why?

OK.

Keep this to yourself, but very soon, I'm

going to be taking on the brandnew role of vice president,

and you'll take my place as number one assistant,

and Lucy's going to hire a brand new hate sponge,

so it's all good.

OK.

Well, I hate to break it to you, but Lucy's

appointing me vice president.

What?

Yeah, man.

No, that's not--

Yeah, it is.

No, I don't--

I don't think so.

All right, gang.

Let's circle up right here.

Pretty spectacular, huh?

Every once in a while, mothernature likes to strip for us,

just show us how sexy she is.

I know it looks daunting,but don't worry.

It's an easy hike down.

We're going to track alongthis ridge and down the canyon.

Where does this go?

Oh, don't worry about that.

That's the advanced route.

No offense, but I don't think this group is 100%

ready for the advanced route.

Yeah.

Nope.

No, we're doing the advanced.

Seriously?

Yeah.

I can't recommend more strongly that this group

takes the beginner route.

That's an advanced cave system that's

for experienced spelunkers.

Look, if we can navigate theadvanced route of the deepest

cave systems of New Mexico, then we

can navigate the challenges oftoday's business environment.

The only way for a muscle to grow

is to have something to push against,

and we all know that thebiggest muscle in the body

is the brain.

Nope.

This is the perfect opportunity

for the brain to grow.

Let's get to it.

Come on!

Well, checks cleared.

You guys signed your releases.

Let's go bone some stone.

Rappelling.

We're rappelling down there?

Well, look, you are all more than

welcome to opt out and havea lovely time by yourself

on the bus thinking about the new direction

your career might be going.

All right, everybody.

Listen up.

Now, the number one rule thatyou must follow at all times

is do whatever the fuck Isay the second I say it.

That's probably the most important thing.

Now, on top of that, I'm goingto go over a couple of dos

and do not dos.

Do keep your helmet on your head at all times.

Do not consume alcohol or illegal drugs

before entering the cave.

Do be vigilant.

Keep your eyes peeled for spiders, scorpions,

or poisonous snakes,because they are abundant,

and they are trying to kill you at all times.

Now, if we're lucky, we mayencounter some cave paintings.

These are from the AcamaTribe of first Americans.

Do not touch the cave paintings.

And always remember, they were here first.

Lucy, what have you got?
