02x08 - The Job

[bunniefuu]

Okay, you know what?

I'm starting to lose my patience.

We got the results
of your lie-detector test.

To the question
"did you move to New York City?"

you answered "yes," which was truthful.

"Did you move here for a job?"

"Yes." Also truthful.

"Was the job dealing
in illegal products?"

You answered "no," which was deceptive.

So, that's what you want us for?
Selling water pills?

You know what we want.

I don't.

Then you are an even bigger
idiot than I mistook you for.

And I thought he was a pretty big idiot.

Hey! Hey!

Hey, then turn your light off
if somebody's in there!

God. I'm gonna be late for SoulCycle.

It's gonna be okay.

It's Amanda K.

She's the only one who plays
the trop deep house I like.

- Then take Amanda J.'s class.
- Amanda J.?

Amanda J. Just plays regular deep house.

Okay.

What are you doing? Are you praying?

- Hey.
- Hm?

- [Laughing] Are you praying?
- No.

It looked... It looked like
you were praying.

- Why would I do that?
- I don't know.

But if you weren't doing that,
what were you doing?

I was just having a little faith
that a cab will come along

and, uh, you know, putting
some good vibes out there.

- To whom?
- To anyone who's listening.

I don't know. The universe.

Nobody's listening.

Okay. Sure.

Ah.

What?

Oh, 'cause you...

That was luck.

All right. Call it what you want.

I'm gonna... I'm gonna call it luck.

Faith, luck... same thing.

Oh, is it the same thing?

Hold on just a second.

Last I checked, wars aren't
fought in the name of luck.

Okay. Children aren't
abused because of luck.

And I'm quite certain there's
no such thing as organized luck.

Okay.

Have fun in Amanda J.'s class.

- Yeah, it's Amanda K.
- Okay.

Hey, can't you just be appreciative

of how great our life is right now?

Three months ago,
we were living in a trailer.

- You know what I did?
- You got a job.

Yes, I know. But before that.

- I...
- Don't you say it.

I prayed.

I prayed, and someone
answered that prayer.

Someone's listening.

Did God set you up on Linkedln?

No, but I'm pretty sure
I'm the first person

who's ever been hired by it.

Okay? That's a miracle.

That's probably true.

Bye.

- I'm praying for you.
- Please don't.

- Tits up.
- Bankrupt?

Perils of having entrepreneurial dreams

in an over-regulated economy.

What the hell are you doing, son?

Hm?

You're not praying, are you?

I thought I hired a thinking man,

not some child who still
believes in fairy tales.

Come on, grow up.

[Sighs] I can't go through this again.

It's too tough on my wife and my kids.

God, I just hired an assistant.

Here's your coffee, Mr. Parker.

Oh. Thank you, Isabel.

Time to fire her. Everyone, really.

Why me?

Because you're the boss.

T.G.I. Friday, bossman.

Historically speaking,

Friday is the best day to fire people.

Hey, boss. Closed on the condo.

Great.

I just want to thank you

for convincing me to pull the trigger.

Okay.

Okay.

You know, uh...

I-I feel like, for the first time

since I've lost my son,

that everything's coming up Shelly.

[Laughs]

Yeah.

Okay, okay, okay.

Okay.

- You're gonna be fine.
- I don't want to be fine.

I want to be great,
like I was 10 minutes ago.

Relax.

This is not the end of our relationship.

Look, I have a little
hacienda down in Cuba.

I call it the Robin's Nest.

That's my wife's name.

Must be a sign!

Why don't you all come on down,
kick back...

Look, I appreciate the offer, all right,

but I believe in this
company, and I can save it.

Nate, it's over.

No! I have faith in this product, sir.

They're just water pills.

Give me the weekend, okay?

I have got a very promising lead.

If I can land him,
he represents a lot of revenue.

We could probably stay afloat
for seven, eight months, maybe.

I don't know.

- Sure.
- Yes!

- Knock yourself out.
- All right.

[Laughs] Yeah!

I'm gonna save the company.

Who does a business deal on a Sunday?

A lot of people do.

And in Brooklyn? That's asking a lot.

Guys, look, this is a really important

business deal for my company, okay?

So I need you all to act really
cool, okay, really normal.

Why are you looking at me?
I didn't say anything.

I'm just saying, no politics
or religion or anything.

- Are they religious?
- I don't think so.

But, you know, if they were,
you know, no judgment.

Well, he didn't need to fly,

So, listen, I hate to bring it up.

You're wondering if I'm gonna
buy the supplements.

Yeah. Sorry.

Well, Nate, I'll tell you what.

I don't know if I want to do business

[Clears throat] What?

Now, folks, I want to bring

some special friends
out on the stage here.

Would you please welcome
Chad, Summer, Jess,

Delilah, and Jareb!

What?!

[Laughs]

I thought I had more time in the show.

- I was gonna tell you.
- You are sacrificing

your children for the sake of business?

- They wanted to do it.
- Oh, that is low.

Look at Delilah. Come on.

Ah, great!

Come on, she's in heaven.

- I'm in hell.
- But these people are so nice to her!

Do you know who else
is nice to children?

Oh, don't
Drug dealers, pedophiles.

- We're going. Let's go.
- No. Hey, we can't.

Three minutes to baptism, folks!

[Chuckles]

It's...

Come on!

This church accepts gay people.
How bad can it be?

I'm not gay.

No, I didn't... I didn't think you were.

It's fine. Right?

Well, when he comes out,
they'll accept him.

- Babe, please.
- No!

- You have to!
- Why?

Because if you don't,
my business will go bankrupt

and we'll be living in a trailer park.

[Applause]

Ladies and gents,
the first true step in faith

is admitting that you believe
in something more than yourself,

and committing before
your brothers and sisters.

You've already met Delilah and Jareb.

They believe!

[Cheers and applause]

Whoo!

Take a bow, kids.

But their parents...

well, that's another story.

Oh, God.

Meet Nate and Robin.

Hey.

That's me. [Chuckles]

Come on up, Nate and Robin!

Please, please. Please,
just do it for us,

- for our family.
- Okay, okay, okay, okay!

- But I'm crossing my fingers.
- I don't care. Just...

[Laughing]

Thank you, everyone. Yeah.

Hi.

Brothers and sisters, I want to show you

the power you can have
with a little faith.

Nate, I know you like water,
a little H2O.

Yeah.

Why don't you take a walk?

What, you want me to jump in the pool?

Well, you told me that you
believe in the power of water.

I do.

Well, then, take a walk.

Jump. Yeah, okay.

Can you hold my cellphone?

Have a little faith, Nate.

[Cheers and applause]

All right. I do.

[Clears throat]

I guess I got to buy a new cellphone.

You can do it, Dad.

Oh, God, I hope this water's warm.

Oh, sh*t!

Oh, sh*t!

Holy sh*t!

- I'm sorry to swear, but...
- It's okay, Nate.

God created curse words
for moments just like this.

The moment you believed He was real.

Holy sh*t! Jesus Christ!

- Okay, settle down.
- Yeah, sorry.

Nate, come on. It's a trick.

It's not a trick, Mom!

You think your father can walk on water?

I'm walking on water!

[Cheers and applause]

People can't walk on water.

I want to have faith, Mom.
I want to believe!

Yeah, so we can do stuff like this.

It's a table, guys. I can see it.

- I can't see anything.
- Just keep on walking, Nate.

- [Laughs]
- Hey, it's like in Vegas,

the thing that we put
our beer on at the swim-up bar?

In Vegas, I can't do this. Whoo-hoo-hoo!

I'm dancing on water! Whoo-hoo!

I'm dancing.

Oh, my God. This is such a stupid trick.

If you're so sure, Robin, give it a try.

You got to try this, babe.

Okay.

It's awesome.

Oh, sh**t!

It was here. It was here.

It was right here.

It was right... right here.

It was right here!

Babe, just get out. Come on, come on.

You still think it's a trick?

I obviously...
I didn't step where he stepped.

I think you did, actually.

Nate, do you think it's a trick?

Uh... I don't know.

Faith, Nate!

I...

Then, no, I don't think it's a trick.

Yes! Yes, it is! Look!

[Laughter]

Stop laughing at me, you misfits!

It's a g*dd*mn trick!

[Audience booing]

Oh, don't... don't boo me.

Use your heads. This guy is a fraud.

You're following a magician

who forced his wife to marry him.

Who said forced? I said it was arranged.

Oh, whatever.

Marriage under Draconian
measures. Same thing.

Well, statistically, arranged marriages

are the most successful marriages.

Well, statistically most
of the people in this room

have herpes, so don't throw stats at me.

I don't think that's true.

Robin: And you want to know
another thing?

This dingo...

Yeah, that's right.

I compared him to a dog
that eats babies.

This dingo is flying around
the world in his private jet

while you're throwing
your hard-earned cash at him.

Everyone here knows about my jet.

Everyone here is proud of my jet.

Right?

Audience: J-E-T, yes! Jet! Jet! Jet!

[Cheers and applause]

How else would I deliver
basic supplements and vitamins

to third-world nations?

Commercial flights?

[Laughter]

Okay, okay.

Did you know that right now

he is doing a deal with my husband

to get some "supplements"
that are basically just water?

- What are you doing?
- I am proving a point.

A terrible one.

It is true, folks.

I am in a business deal with Nate here.

But that's because I think

God put Nate in my life for a reason.

I recently prayed
that I would meet someone

that would help supplement my teachings.

And on the very same day,

an actual supplement salesman
cold-called me.

Now, are the pills that he's
selling black mamba oil?

God, no.

Or are they simply a
reminder to hydrate?

You bet.

I mean, water is the most
important element on Earth!

All life needs it to flourish!

It's what separates us from Mars!

[Cheers and applause]

I said that. That's my quote.

It's on the pamphlet.

I accept Jesus as my lord and savior!

Whoa!

Jesus lets us swear!
sh*t snacks!

Nate: Oh, geez. Really?

Looks like we're in business
together, Nate.

Let's call it 200,000 units.

Uh, okay then.

Look, I know you feel foolish.

But, baby, he saved us, okay?
