Superstore (2015) s06e15 Episode Script

[soft music]
-Can I help you with something?
-Oh, hi.
Um, it's Amy.
We met, like, a month ago.
I thought I'd show up on the last day,
and surprise everybody.
That's so nice.
What's the surprise?
Um, just me.
Oh, I thought it would be,
like, doughnuts or something.
Amy, it's so good to see you!
Sandra, hi!
Hi! What are you doing here?
I wanted to see everybody one last time.
-[Sandra sighs]
-So you're back from California.
That's so great.
[Amy] Don't worry.
You and Eric can stay in my house
as long as you need.
Thank God. Love you. So glad you're back.
Welcome home.
Thank you.
It's good to be home.
Amy!
[gasps]
-Glenn, hi.
-I am so happy to see you.
I wasn't gonna not say goodbye.
We are so short-staffed today.
No, I wasn't planning on--
-Grab a vest in the back.
-I've got something I gotta--
-We're super light in Grocery.
-[Amy] But the thing is, I--
Just do whatever you can do.
My God, this is like
God sent me a literal angel.
[Glenn chuckles]
Like I said, welcome home.
[upbeat music]
[Garrett] Attention, shoppers.
It's the final day of our liquidation sale
before the doors close for good.
Our selection's fairly picked over.
But the following items
are still available.
Ladies' golf shoes size 14 and above,
grape-scented laundry detergent,
and the VHS box set
of "Sweet Valley High."
Buy 'em while you can, or else wait a day,
and fish 'em out of our dumpster.
There she is, back in the blue.
Like I never left. Hey, I heard the news.
Congratulations,
Miss Fulfillment Center Manager.
I haven't told anyone yet.
-Oh.
-As soon as it gets out,
everyone's gonna start
asking me for a job,
and Zephra's already filled
most of the openings.
I can only keep five people,
and it is tougher
than I thought it would be.
So there's no one you wanna take with you?
No, actually,
everyone has their strengths.
You know, Marcus has warehouse experience.
Janet's good under pressure.
Jonah's smart, but I don't even
know if he's staying in town
-since him and Hannah broke up.
-What?
-They broke up?
-Yeah.
Uh, why? Why?
I hadn't heard that.
Why did they break up?
You know, I'm not sure.
Why are you so interested?
Because it's interesting.
I mean, lots of things are interesting
if you really think about it.
Uh-huh.
[Muzak playing]
So… retirement, huh?
Got any big plans?
Yeah, I think I might finally watch
The Queen's Gambit.
Okay, so that's… seven episodes.
What else?
Well, I hadn't really thought
much beyond that.
Gosh, I guess there's gonna be
a lot of hours to fill, huh?
Yeah, but that's a good thing,
right, Glenn?
I'm sure you've got hobbies.
No, 'cause work is all I've ever known.
I started at my dad's hardware store
when I was eight,
and before that,
I worked at the tollbooth.
Glenn, I'm sure you're gonna be fine.
There's gotta be
something that you can do.
[Glenn groans]
Well, what if I got a 500-piece puzzle?
That'd take up some time, right?
Some.
What, you want me to get
a 1,000-piece puzzle?
How much table space
do you think I have, Jonah?
-[thumping]
-Yeah, we could, like, you know…
Smart time to buy a new washer.
Oh, actually, Bo wants to buy them all.
-Oh.
-Yeah, get 'em for mad cheap,
then resell them to the suckers,
make that scrilla.
-What if you can't sell 'em?
-Then I open up a laundromat.
Come on, man, think.
Use those glasses.
Well, I guess you have
more of a plan than I do
since I'm basically unhirable now.
Mm, plight of the undocumented, man,
and yet the one percent and whatnots.
You always know what to say.
Sometimes it feels like ♪
It's all moving way too fast… ♪
-Why is this not…
-[scanner beeping]
-What the…
-[Jonah] Well, well, well.
Little Miss Corporate spent so much time
at her cushy desk job,
she forgot how a scanner works.
No, I did not. I just…
I think this one's broken.
I'm messing with you.
I'm messing with you.
They switched us over to CCDs. Here, look.
You have to press these two buttons
at the same time,
and you've gotta get it closer
than you did with the lasers.
Got it. Thank you for the pro tip.
[in New York accent]
You know, it's always nice
when a, uh, working stiff like me
can help out a fancy dame, you know?
You know, I still have no idea
what that accent is,
and I think it's gotten worse.
Oh, oh, come on, now.
I'm a little rusty, you know?
I haven't done it in a New York minute.
Maybe the accent goes away with the store.
[laughs]
Speaking of which…
what are your plans, you know,
in a post-Cloud 9 world?
[normal accent]
Uh, well, I mean, I'll grieve, obviously,
-for the obligatory 90 days.
-Obviously. Me too.
-Full veil and everything.
-Yeah, for sure.
And then, yeah, I don't know.
I don't know.
I got a lot to figure out, you know, like,
am I gonna move back to Chicago or…
-[inhales]
-Oh.
I mean, just that Chicago
has all that wind,
and Hannah's here.
Oh, we, we broke up.
What? Oh, no. I'm so sorry.
It's fine. It's… No, it's… I mean,
we only dated for, like, a month.
Oh, man, that is not long enough.
[scoffs]
Well, I, I had no idea
that you two had broken up.
Yes, you did.
I told you they broke up,
like, ten minutes ago.
No, you didn't.
Oh.
No, I didn't tell you that.
It was the other Latina employee,
and you all look the same to me,
because I'm a racist,
so that's something
I should probably work on.
[quirky music sting]
[Jerusha] Oh, what about boxing
as a hobby?
You look great in silk shorts.
I know, but I'm just uncomfortable
with the punching.
Well, yeah, there's a lot
of punching in it.
Well, what about, uh, fishing?
A lot of retired people like that.
What would be the point?
I can't eat the fish.
His throat's a bone magnet.
You know, Mateo, it's funny.
You're undocumented, and I'm over 60,
and America doesn't want
either of us to work anymore.
[chuckles]
Right, but…
I'm under constant fear of deportation,
and you get discounts
at movie theaters, so…
Not new releases.
Wow, must be awful
to live in terror of spoilers.
Excuse me.
Ooh, what about grilling?
That could be fun.
Okay, Jerusha, no offense,
but you are spiraling right now.
Yeah, I'm hoping I can get
another floor supervisor job.
I just bought a ton of clipboards.
-Hm.
-Hey, so, um…
How upset was Jonah when I left?
Oh, I'd say… pretty upset.
-Pretty upset.
-On a scale of 1 to 10, like…
9.5.
Solid 9.5.
That makes, that makes sense.
You're not thinking about getting back
on that merry-go-round, are you?
Is this, like, a "you break it,
you bought it" situation?
Dina, it's not like that.
No, it's just, once I got out
to California, everything just felt…
[exhales heavily]
And…
I don't know, I think I…
[sighs]
I think I made a mistake
not marrying Jonah.
Ya think?
-[thuds]
-I just… I can't anymore.
Garrett, for the contact list,
you wrote "email@email.email."
Oh, really? You're too cool
to keep in touch with everybody?
I'm just being realistic, man.
Look, we work together,
and now we're gonna go work
with other people.
I'd rather skip the part
where we email for a week,
trying to plan some fictional group trip.
But we are doing a group trip.
[Sayid] It's either gonna be
Kansas City or Tokyo.
Buddy, we're not making it to Applebee's,
and we work down the street
from Applebee's.

Runnin' wild and lookin' pretty… ♪
Hey.
Hey.
So I've been meaning to tell you, uh…
The Americans is really good.
-You watched it.
-I did.
I mean, I watched basically everything.
You know, pandemic.
[inhales]
I, I kept wanting to text you, but…
Well, I'm glad you liked it.
And, um, the other thing
that I've been wanting to tell you
is that I'm sorry.
I'm sorry for the way I left.
It was…
selfish and awful and--
Hey, I… We… I don't…
Look, you don't have to apologize to me
for not wanting to marry me.
It wasn't even about that.
I just… I think that, like,
my brain short-circuited.
You know, suddenly I had all these options
for the first time in my life,
and I was like,
"Yay, I get to decide what I want!
But wait, like,
how do I decide what I want?"
[chuckles]
Yeah, welcome to the world of privilege.
It's very hard on this side of things.
Why didn't you warn me?
Don't know.
Look, Jonah.
I didn't know what I wanted,
but I know now, and…
Amy, I'm, I'm happy that
you figured it out.
I, I really, really am.
But I'm not just…
I don't know, I'm not just
something you can schedule
for whenever you're free, you know?
I'm sorry, but I just…
I don't know what I want anymore.
Okay.
Um, if you figure it out…
let me know.
[sighs]
Excuse me. Um, where would I find nutmeg?
Nutmeg? Well, that's aisle 12,
right over there.
Aisle 12. Okay, thank you so much
for your help.
-You're so welcome.
-Uh, uh. The coronavirus.
-Okay.
-Have a heavenly day.
Okay, thanks, okay.
You a big spice guy?
That man might be my last customer ever.
It's so sad.
[sighs]
-Yeah, we're all--
-I'm gonna miss this.
You know, I thought I had
a few more good years left in me.
You know, my dad, he worked
at our hardware store till he was 80.
I thought I'd do the same, but…
It's just so unfair.
Glenn! If you don't wanna retire,
then don't.
No one's making you stop working.
-Hey, Mat--
-[Mateo scoffs]
Hey, everyone!
I'm not gonna retire.
Uh, yeah, I think I'm gonna get a new job,
or maybe even reopen
Sturgis & Sons Hardware,
though I, I have to check with Jerusha,
because, you know,
it's a very big commitment.
I think it's a great idea!
Hey, guys, good news. Jerusha's in.
You okay?
Oh.
I'm the new fulfillment center manager,
but I can only keep five employees,
and I can't make up my mind.
When I have a tough decision to make,
I like to spend a Sunday on the bus.
Pack a little lunch, and just bus on it.
Ah, Sandra, I can't get sucked
into your bleak life, okay?
Zephra needs a list now.
Okay.
[marker squeaking]
Done.
Yeah, that's it.
[laughs]
Why the "AM" next to your name?
'Cause I'm your assistant manager.
[marker clatters]
[scoffs]
If that's okay with you.
-I don't wanna be presumptuous.
-No, you're in.
I was going for, like, a…
cool, badass moment.
-Yeah, I got that.
-Good.
Yeah, you don't need to do…
-[marker clatters]
-Okay, you did. All right.
This is probably the last time
I'm ever gonna clean up slushie vomit.
Oh, can you take a picture?
[chuckles]
No. What?
Look, I don't get it.
We work in a big, dumb, ugly store,
and everybody's acting like they're Jordan
walking off the court for the last time.
-Aw, your last slushie vomit.
-Come on.
Look at this.
I was cleaning out my office,
and I found these old tapes
of everyone's job interviews.
-Ooh.
-Wait, I don't remember…
Did you secretly record
our job interviews?
Yeah, but, you know,
just so I'd have proof in case
someone accused me of not hiring them
unless they did me sexual favors.
I mean, Pastor Craig
was falsely accused 30 times
by women and men.

And throw away the oars… ♪
Testing. Jesus seizes cheeses.
-[laughter]
-Jesus seizes cheeses.
[Garrett] I don't know
if I've ever seen her videos.
-Hi, you must be Amy.
-Damn, Amy, you were hot.
-Thank you.
-Boner alert.
Dude, she's a teenager.
Yeah, but I was a teenager then too,
so it's not weird.
So glad I came back for this.
[chuckles]
[Glenn] Um, once you've worked here
for a year, it starts to get good.
Oh, um, thank you so much, but actually,
I'm going to college in the fall,
so I'm only planning
to be here a few months.
Two hundred and five months, to be exact.
Sorry. No, please, go ahead.
[all laugh, murmur]
[Glenn] You worked
at The Spaghetti Factory?
I go there all the time.
Wait a minute, I know you.
Fettuccine Alfredo,
side of grilled cheese,
three glasses of juice.
[Glenn] That's incredible. Yeah.
Aw, you guys used to get along.
I also worked in the bird
department at Petco.
Oh. God, you know, I don't get
how people can keep birds as pets.
They're disgusting.
-Rats with feathers.
-Uh-huh.
Let's move on.
[Glenn] Okay, well, um…
Hey, here's what you need
to know about Garrett McNeill.
[laughter]
Oh, my God.
That guy's handsome.
Am I hard on myself?
Sure, but I call it taking
the job seriously.
-[Glenn] Wow.
-What?
I give a good interview. What can I say?
Why do you wanna work at Cloud 9?
Um, actually, I already work here.
You hired me two weeks ago.
[Glenn] I don't think so.
I think I'd remember that.
You gave me one of these.
I'm so sorry.
It's just that you've got
such a forgettable face, you know?
-I know.
-I think you'd make a great spy, though.
-Yeah?
-Yeah.
I cut my hair ♪
You might think I'm crazy
But I don't even care ♪

It's hip to be… ♪
And so we were in line at Claire's…
-Aw!
-[all murmuring]
My purple hair thingy.
Corona was like, "You eat it."
And I was like,
"Nah, girl, that is narsty. You eat it."
And that, ladies and gentlemen,
is our current floor supervisor.
I know, right? Life is nuts.
I don't know if I should say anything,
but there's a Scott Baio
wannabe waiting outside,
and I heard him tell his meth dealer…
Hey, um, when the store closes,
do you wanna keep hangin' and bangin'?
Like, as my boyfriend.
Yeah.
-Yeah.
-Okay. Cool.
[Glenn] Tell me more about you.
I just wanna say
that if you give me the chance,
I will work harder than anyone you know.
I will literally dig through concrete
with my bare hands
until they're bloody stumps,
and I have to do stuff with my feet.
You know, I could use a hard worker
like that at Sturgis & Sons.
[Cheyenne gasps]
Really?
Thank you.
[sniffles]
Should we do, like,
denim or leather aprons?
Denim, right, like, a raw denim?
Okay. I love it. I love it.
It's more my color.
[soft quirky music]
[Glenn] Jonah Simms.
Wow, you have had a lot of jobs.
Yeah, yeah, yeah,
I worked at a consulting firm
for a few months,
and then an ad agency for six weeks.
[Jonah] I sold gym memberships.
I went to business school for a semester.
But now I'm just at a place in my life
where I, I really wanna change.
You know, I just wanna spend
a couple months
just not using my brain.
[all jeer]
All right, yeah, I know. I get it. I know.
I can't listen to myself either, so enjoy.
-[laughs]
-All right, all right.
-[Glenn] Use your brain?
-No, no, I mean…
[Jonah] It's not just that. It's…
You know, I…
When you think about it, a store like this
is actually pretty incredible, you know?
You help people do their homework
and, and find their styles,
and feed their grandchildren.
You know, there's, there's magic in that.
[sighs]
I don't know, people,
people always talk about going out
and finding something special.
But, you know, maybe, maybe
we don't have to look that hard.
You know, maybe everything is special.
How many jobs have you had?
What?
Not including paper routes
and babysitting or whatever.
How many actual jobs?
Too many to count, 20, 30?
Yeah, you never stick with anything.
Except this.
You've been here six years. Why?
I don't know. It's a good job.
No, it's not. It's a terrible job.
It's not that bad.
Jonah, why did you stay here?
Why do you think, Amy?
You know, when I first met you,
I thought you were the most
annoying person I'd ever met,
with your "moments of beauty,"
"seize the day" crap,
like you'd watched Dead Poets Society
too many times.
Shows what you know.
You can't watch Dead Poets Society
too many times.
I hated how cheesy you were.
I hated how woke you were.
I hated how often
you used the word "artisan."
But most of all, I hated how you believed
that life could be better than it was.
And yet here we are.
And my life is so much better than it was…
because of you.
And I… I screwed it all up.
I know that.
But you waited six years for me,
so if I have to wait an…
[uplifting music]
I'm sorry, it's just,
you were talking so much.
I didn't know what to do.
Excuse me. Hi.
Does the "cup" in "menstrual cup" refer
to, like, the shape or the volume?
Have to say, I always thought
when they shut this place down,
it would be because of something you did.
[chuckles]
-Me too.
-[chuckles]
Hey. Take care of the old gal, will you?
I will.
Attention, shoppers.
Please bring your final purchases
up to checkout,
'cause this store
is about to close forever.
On behalf of everyone here at Cloud 9,
I'd just like to say buh-bye!
Sorry, that shouldn't be
the last thing I say.
Twenty years of announcements.
[Garrett] I mean,
I'm not a sentimental guy.
That's not my thing.
But it did just occur to me
that this is… this is the end.
I mean, don't get me wrong. It's a job.
If jobs were fun,
they wouldn't pay us to do it.
But occasionally, there were moments
that weren't so bad.
[Garrett] And for whatever reason,
those are… the only things
I can remember right now.
You know, most jobs suck 99% of the time.
So you really… really gotta enjoy
those moments that don't…
-Are we Sturgis & Friends?
-[Matteo and Cheyenne] No!
[Garrett] Those bits of fun you have
during downtime…
-Are we Sturgis & Sons?
-[both] Yes!
All right, let's get to work.
…or an interesting conversation
with a coworker…
-For the lab!
-Boom!
…or something happens
that you can laugh about later…
Oh, that's a picture of my honeymoon.
[chuckles]
Sorry about that.
…or you do something
that you're actually proud of.
Looking great, guys.
Keep up the good work.
[Garrett] If you're lucky,
maybe you even get to be friends
with a coworker or two along the way.
Not sure what else
you could want in a job.
[indistinct chatter]
[uplifting music]
-Oh, my God. Look at that.
-I know.
[light music]
[Amy] Love you.
-They're asleep.
-Both of them?
-Yeah.
-Nice.
At any rate…
thank you for shopping with us.
Cloud 9 is now closed.
