OK, call.
- Shall I just dial 911?
- It's not really an emergency.

- There was a murder.
- Well, not recently.

Will you just call?

[Buttons beeping, ringing tone]

[Knocking]

Hey.

My Mom will be home any minute.
She'll freak if she sees you.

Oh, I just wanted to deliver this
personally. I'm having a party.

You know she doesn't want us
to see each other.

Well, you gotta come. I...
you're the reason I'm doing this.

I'll try to talk to my Mom, OK?
But you really gotta go.

- Hey, Mrs. Solis.
- I'm sorry. Do I know you?

Yeah, I'm Justin, John's roommate.

I've been waiting forever for you.

- Really? Why?
- I want to do you a favor.

What kind of favor?

John says that you can't afford
a gardener right now,

and I told him I'd be happy to do it.
For free.

You want to mow my lawn for free?

Mow your lawn.
Water your flowers. Trim your bushes.

I could do everything
John did for you.

That's very generous of you,
but I don't think so.

Why?

Because my husband is home
quite a lot these days.

If any bush needs trimming,
he takes care of it.

This is a beautiful yard. I'm sure
it could use a little extra attention.

[Scoffs] I'm flattered,
but no, thank you.

Mrs. Solis, please.

Did I mention why my husband's
home a lot? He's under house arrest.

Oh?

He has a lot of anger
toward the government right now,

and he's just dying to find
someone to take it out on.

[Justin sighs]

[Boys all shouting]

Hey, guys. This isn't a hockey rink.
Can you take it outside?

Hi, honey. How was your day?

I didn't get the V.P. Gig.

Oh, Tom, I am so sorry.

It doesn't make sense to me.
I'm Peterson's "go-to guy".

How does Tim Duggan,
the biggest blowhard in the office,

get promoted to vice president over me?

I thought you liked Tim Duggan?

I do. I just... I don't know,
I just, I really wanted that promotion.

[Boys shouting]

Hey, boys,
take the Stanley Cup finals outside.

Whack!

Did you tell Mr. Peterson
that you wanted the job?

I have worked there for 8 1/2 years.

Duggan's been there two.
I am not gonna beg.

I'm not saying to beg. You just
have to step up from time to time.

See your opportunity and take it.
Nobody respects a shrinking violet.

There is more than one leadership style.
Mine is quiet but... effective.

Take that racket outside!

Whatever works for you.

Susan!

Hey, sexy. Where you been?
I called you twice. You avoiding me?

Why would I do that? No,
I've been really busy grocery shopping.

For two days?
You must be pretty well stocked.

- How about dinner tonight?
- Uh...

Dinner... tonight? Um...

You OK?

Can you hold these a sec?

Up against the car!

You have the right to remain silent.

Anything you do say can be used
against you in a court of law.

You have the right
to consult an attorney...

So get this: Zach Young's throwing
a pool party Saturday night.

He sent out formal invitations.

I'm surprised he didn't spritz them
with aftershave.

- What is wrong with nice invitations?
- Mom, it's a pool party.

He could've just passed out flyers.

He's genetically incapable
of being cool.

So, uh... are you going?

Uh... maybe. I mean, um,
Lisa and Justin and some of the guys

thought it'd be fun to swim.
