Come on, Maggie.

(PANTING) Hi. Sorry we're late.

This is Maggie.
We're here for our first day.

Hello, Maggie.
And who will be picking her up?

W... A-After she falls down?

No, at the end of the day.

Wait, I don't stay with her?

Research shows pre-toddlers learn best in a parent-free environment.

Unless you want to stunt her growth, which is great.

(QUIETLY): We're not supposed to judge.

No, no, it's not that.

I just don't want Maggie to feel abandoned.

(GIGGLING)

So, we'll see you at : .

Oh. Okay, then.

Hmm. Now what will I do with the rest of my day?

I know. I'll ask my favorite mommy blog.

- Hmm. Hmm.
- _

Now turn that resistance all the way up!

Come on!
I want to see you b*tches suffer!

(CHEERING)

(QUIETLY):
Am I the only one who heard that?

I love it. It's like being coached by the voice inside my head.

Spin yourselves to death, you land manatees!

(CHEERING)

- (GROANS) Mm.
- _

(HUMMING)

Paint harder, you sausage-fingered no-talents!

(CHEERING)

"Sex-prise your man at work."

Mm... Hmm?

What are you doing here?

Maybe you could give me a safety inspection.

Oh, my God, I can't believe this is happening.

I'm so sex-prised!

(QUIETLY):
There's security cameras everywhere, so we'll have to snuggle under the desk.

MAN (OVER SPEAKER): On top of the desk, please.

Oh!

Thanks, Jerry! Nice. Real cool.

(SIGHS) Now how do I fill the day? Hmm.

What's Well Plus Good?

It's pronounced "Well and Good."

Ugh, why is everyone talking to me?

Well, if all these people want to work here, maybe I want to work here.

All right, go to tablet seven to take your pre-application ethics assessment.

Cool hair, by the way.

You think that my hair is cool?

(CHUCKLES) Well, thank you, Lauren.

Oh, by the way, your name tag is upside down.

Mm, thank you.

You're the only person to mention that.

Ooh, major mom vibes. She's perfect.

"I always never lie."

Hmm. Two.
"I sometimes always never lie."

"If I never found a wallet, I would always give it back."

What color is the wallet?

Marge Simpson. There was never a test.

Except there always was.

- There wasn't?
- And you passed.

Welcome to the Well and Good family.

The rest of you can go.
Your résumés will be deleted.

(OTHERS GRUMBLING)

I'm the only one you hired?

You're the only one we partnered with.

Hmm.

Okay, so I work here now.

I never asked what we sell.

I can figure this out.

Hmm. Candy? Bath bombs? Blowtorches?

$ bottles of soda?

Uh, excuse me.

Uh, do you recommend
the tincture or the oil?

I... The-the tincture is more expensive, I guess.

Look, this is about you.

And taking care of you. I think.

So you have to put yourself... first?

Well, your no-frills, fumbling sales pitch has won me over. I'll take both. Yes...

Wow, girl, you just made a hundred-dollar sale.

You're gonna fit in great here.

Thing is, what does here sell?

Is this what RadioShack is now?

Mm, no.
We're a high-end cannabis boutique.

You sell pot?!

Technically, I check I.D.s.

You sell pot.

(GASPS)

I'm a dr*gs dealer!

Mm, cannabis is legal in this state now.

Well, so is water-skiing,

but that doesn't mean I have to sell it!

I'm sorry.

Marge, don't leave, seriously.

Like, I'm asking.

Drederick Tatum!
(GASPS) I own your countertop grill.

Oh, take care not to use metal utensils on the non-stick surfaces.

But anyway, after my boxing career ended,

I was in a lot of pain.

Specifically, in my punching hands and my blocking face.

But following a regimen of CBD oil and medicinal hits from a Pikachu bong, I was able to enjoy life again.

Which inspired me to create Well and Good Healing Emporiums.

But pot is for Cheeches... and Chongs.

Marge, it's not about getting high.

It's about wellness.

And that's why I've hand-picked the perfect team here.

I'm an expert in cannabinoids and cutting-edge delivery systems, aka infusers, decarboxylators, transdermals and pet suppositories.

And I'm super hot.

And what do you need me for?

Marge, people know you want to help them, that it's safe here.

Not some place for Cheeches and Chongs, as you so recently put it.

Uh, I'm sorry.
I don't think this is really me.

- Good luck with your lifestyle.
- Uh...

Oh, it's a shame there's no drug for hurt feelings.

Oh, wait, there totally is.

(ALL MUNCHING)

You know, in some families, they go around the table and everyone says one thing they learned that day.

Okay. I learned that.

Well, I learned that the former heavyweight champion of the world owns a marijuana store.

And he offered me a job, which I turned down.

Wait, what?

I mean, the people were really cool, and they thought I was cool, which made me feel "stoked."

(SIGHS) But I'm not going to be a reefer saleslady.

Well, I guess there's nothing wrong with it.

Cannabis is legal in this state.

Yeah, it's basically the same thing as working in a liquor store.

You can work in a liquor store?

- (GASPS) Mmm...
- Stay with us, big guy.

Mm...

Wow. I thought you'd be opposed to it.

People are stressed out these days.

Scurvy is back, there's, like, wars going on.

Whales are eating our precious ocean plastic.

Maybe people want to smoke a doob for that.

Oh, yeah, everyone's selling crap to stoners now.

Have you seen the new Krusty Burger commercial?

(SITAR MUSIC PLAYING)

When you've got the munchies, for some reason...

wink, wink... you crave weird.

A deep-fried rib-wich

served on a warm doughnut.

Or a spaghetti-filled grilled cheese sandwich

drizzled with ranch pudding.

Krusty's Munchie Mouthfuls. It's high time you tried it.

Get it? Get it?! Get it?

(CHUCKLES) I get it.

Well, Mr. Tatum did personally choose me.

He said I was helpful.

Honey, you're the most helpful person I've ever met.

Now go sell the safe legal dr*gs our kids should never, ever use!

- Especially Bart!
- Uh...?

(HUMMING)

Is this an Apple store?

Everyone keeps asking that.

I dropped my phone because of my arthritis.

We can't fix your phone, but I can sure help with that arthritis.

Try this amazing pain-relieving lotion.

Oh. It tingles.

Not like Jergens. I hate Jergens!

You seem stressed. Hmm.

Why not try some yummy gummies?

(LAUGHING)

Marge, thank you.
When Mother's happy, I'm happy.

Or at least, much less miserable.

This big sh*t here is the principal

of a whole school! (CHUCKLES)

- Show her your key ring.
- (JINGLES)

(LAUGHING)

Oh, I love it.

(GRUMBLES)

Psst. I want to buy some pot.

All right, pump the brakes, Jhorts.

Got to ask a few questions first.

Now, do you want a body high or a front-of-the-face buzz?

I don't know. Just hook me up.

Mmm, I have the perfect strain in mind.

But be warned, boo, the couch-lock is strong on this one, but there's, like, zero mind-race.

W-What are you saying? I just want...

(QUIETLY): weed.

Okay, almost there.
Almost there. Now listen.

- Do you want this in flower...
- Yeah.

- ...shatter, topical...
- Uh...

- ...edible, nasal mist...
- I...

- ...ear drops?
- Look, I just want to score a bag of shwag from some dude who may or may not be a cop.

I'm a cop.

Have you tried this?

Nothing makes sense anymore!

Give me a beer.

(BOTH GASP)

(SCOFFS) It doesn't make my hair smell like anything!

(SIGHS) I dreamed my whole life of legalized weed.

Turns out it's a real buzzkill.

Ain't that the truth?

Times have changed.

The romance of alcohol is fading into the past.

Stoners will never know the joy of sitting on the toilet and barfing into your own underwear.

Or picking a fight with a guy twice your size because his leg touched your car.

Yeah. I miss the old days, too.

When buying pot was... (SNIFFLES) scuzzy.

I'd pay anything to turn back that clock.

You know what'd be popular?

If one of those legal places made it feel like you were scoring weed

from your old-school pot connection.

That's a great idea, and we should do it.

Those tie-dyed bong monkeys will cough up big-time for the full dirtbag shebang!

I'll alert the bong monkeys.

Afternoon, gernts. You need some suds?

Duffman knows it's always time for a refreshing Duff!

Yeah, that being said, sometimes Barry is looking for a little herbal refreshment.

Know what I mean?

- Right this way, fellas.

So, with the success of the Well and Good brand... which, you know, thank God...

I'm so pleased to present our latest venture...

- (GASPING, OOHING)
- Werk.

This is The Drederick.

It's a fully realized cannabis resort and spa.

Now, for our launch event, we'll be inviting marijuana influencers from Dave Chapelle to Harrison Ford, who is flying himself, by the way, so you know, fingers crossed.

Marge, I was thinking that you would be the hostess of this launch party, acting as the de facto face of the Well and Good brand.

Oh, my God. Why me?

Well, Marge, 'cause people trust you.

Also, my face is the intellectual property of the artist who created this tattoo.

So, you know, I'm out.

Oh, I'd love to.

This is so exciting, I...

Wait, wait, no. I wanted to ask you.

But unfortunately, there was a fly in the CBD ointment.

Your husband Homer is selling weed, Marge.

(GASPS) That's terrible.

Wait, no, so am I. We all are.

We are trying to elevate the image of cannabis.

- This is what he's doing.
- (GASPS)

(MOANS) Oh, he knows how much self-esteem I get from selling bud.

And that's our good frisbee.

I'm afraid that you cannot continue with this company while your husband is taking pot back to the dark ages of .

- I-I'm very sorry.
- Oh, no. No, no, no.

Please, please don't fire me.

I want to be your face.

When Homer realizes how much this is hurting me, I'm sure he'll understand.

I don't understand.

We're doing the same thing, except you dress like a doctor, and I dress like a cool toddler.

Don't you get it?

I'm a healer, and you're a dealer.

You need to quit.

I can quit whenever I want.
I just don't want to.

What happened to the quitter I married?

I quit quitting!

- What's going on?
- Mom and Dad are having a drug w*r.

- It's not different!
- And you spent $ , ...

I make CNN much funnier!

- (HUMMING)
- Homer wouldn't quit.

Here's my smock, my key to the hash register, my business card reading "associate."

Instead of being the face of the company, my face will just be me.

Wait, Marge.
There is one way to save your job, but it would entail the betrayal of your husband, which I would never ask you to do.

Well, I mean, it doesn't hurt to ask.

With your help, we can get the government to shut him down.

The FBI? The DEA?

The County Health Department.

I don't understand.
What crime is Homer committing?

Pot's legal.

Yes, but he isn't licensed to serve non-psychotropic edibles, aka food.

If he offers snacks to his customers and they eat even one bite, we go in and take him down.

So we need you to bait the trap with these.

Are you in?

(GROANS SOFTLY)

Mm-hmm. Mm-hmm.

- HOMER: Nailed it.
- Mm-hmm.

You're the son I never had.

Hey, Homer.
Look who's stopped by over here.

I am so sorry about our little tiff.

Will you accept this apology gift for you and your friends?

Oh, honey. You're always in my corner.

I have the most loving, supportive, loyal wife in the world.

Give your friends some cheese balls.

I hope your husband wasn't too upset about the... you know, the treachery.

Oh, well, Homer is very... easygoing, so...

I have been stabbed, in the back!

How did you get in?
This is by invitation only.

I said I was Kevin Smith's father.

No one questioned me.

Homer, control yourself.

You're upsetting the influencers.

They're very easily influenced.

(SIGHS) That guy is on alcohol.

Please don't ruin this.

This is cannabinoid health, and I am its face.

(BLOWS RASPBERRY) Cabana boy health.

If it's so good for you... why have you never tried pot, ever?

(GASPING, COUGHING)

Well... does a doctor need to try insulin to know that it helps diabetes?

Yes. I think she should.

Surprise! The doctor's a woman. Sexist!

- Oh, yeah. - Good point.
- That is sexist.

Look, I don't have a problem with pot.

I can start any time I want.

I'll do some right now.

Perfect. "Serenity."

See? Nothing.

I'm probably one of those people it doesn't work on.

I feel like I'm on an elevator that's going up and down at the same time.

Something's wrong. You said this was about wellness, but I feel high.

Okay, okay, listen.
