Well, welcome to the Dandrin and, uh Good morning to all of you.
So it is an all-you-can-eat buffet for 12.

I got this, it's fine, as you were, go on.
- Thank you.
Of course.
- Bye, bye, bye, bye.
Okay, newbs, I need you to listen up because we need a goddamn plan.
(OKAY, A) why do we need a plan? (AND B) why are here at 10am? Oh my god, what is this? Amateur hour? Unless you're rolling in shrimp rings or you've never heard of lunch rush, then you better shut up and you pay attention.
Okay, I'm the fork.
Doris, you're the spoon.
Roast beef, that is at the end of the hall.
Now, you see a fresh spring roll come out, I want to hear your best bird call.
- Heather? - (HIGH-PITCHED BIRD CALL) Not bad.
Go.
Erin.
- (HIGH-PITCHED VOICE) - Mine, mine.
- What is that? - It's a seagull.
It's fine.
Sharon, what do you got? SHARON: Hoo! Oh, that's fucking shit, let's go ladies! (TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hey, don't let the old ones fool you, they act all meek and like "I'm so frail".
But when it comes to the chow mein, they are going to punch you right in the box.
Doris will punch me in the vagina? Probably.
Cover me.
(TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) Hi.
Oooh, what's up? I'm just preparing for an all-you-can-eat war.
That sounds intense.
Yeah.
Well it's 12.
49 for all the snow crab legs you can eat.
Shouldn't you use tongs? Tongs are for losers! That was sharp.
You know what? I could use this as a weapon.
(TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) Heather look out! Oh my god, so hot, ah! You're wrecking this for everyone.
I have had eight lobster tails, 21 crab legs and four shrimp rings.
Ask me if I give a fuck.
This is my retirement party.
Yeah and you're at the goddamn Dandrin, Doris.
Now you get busy eatin' or you get busy retiring! That's not the same.
Well it should be! Spring rolls! You're slowing me down.
Oh my god this pan is so fucking hot! Burning my hands! It's worth it! - (SQUISHING) - (DRAMATIC CRESCENDO) Can you eat all that? Who said anything about eatin'? (DRAMATIC BEAT) Ma'am, excuse me What?! I wore this in, okay, I wore it in, it's mine.
My god, she is so annoying.
(PHONE CHIMING) - Oh shit.
- What? - (TENSE DRAMATIC MUSIC) - Okay, this is lunch rush! This is lunch rush! We've got to move.
We should have been out of here twenty minutes ago.
Doris, this is on you and your gammy shitty knee! You, counter attack.
You, get your ass up, frontal assault.
Sharon, position yourself east! Why are you just sitting there? Let's go everybody, go, go, go! (WHISPERING) Is she alright? No, she's not alright.
Oh Jesus Pamela.
Okay, you need to chill out.
Happy retirement Doris.
DORIS: Thank you.
I'll see you cats back at the office.
Cover me.
(CRESCENDOING DRAMATIC MUSIC) I mean, she got her money's worth.
Yeah, she really did.
(SCREAMING) AURORA: Hey gang! (AIR KISSES) AURORA: Who's ready for a ladies night? Yes, yes, yes.
And one for you.
I don't want it.
I just-I just-I just You're such a cute little lady! Yeah, I don't know.
I just, I don't really like, identify as a lady.
It doesn't really match my gender.
So I, I just, don't want to wear a crown and be a lady.
How are they going to know it's ladies night though? Yeah.
I'm pretty sure they're going to know.
No, no they won't, no.
You can't promise that, Carol.
You can't promise that.
You know what, I'm sure People are not smart.
Like you can still call each other lady, just don't call me lady.
You know, I just don't really want to be lumped in with the ladies.
It's just I was really looking forward to ladies night.
It's just something that I needed.
Mandy, are you going to be okay? I'm okay if it's ladies night.
CAROL: Honestly, we can still drink and party and stuff, let's just not call it ladies night.
You know, like why does this night have to have a gender? Why do you have to make it about gender? I mean, it's just ladies night.
If you don't want me there, like, I don't have to be there if - (IN UNISON) Noo.
- What? (IN WHINEY VOICES) We want you to go.
We just want you to do what you've always done and not make a big deal about being called lady, even though it makes you uncomfortable, and doesn't match your genderaaah.
Okay, you know what, fine, call me lady.
- (CHEERING) - Really? Really? - No.
- (IN UNISON) Ugh.
CAROL: I think I'll just drink with the cat in the other room for a bit.
AURORA: Pussy night.
- Pussy night? - Pussy night.
MEREDITH: Pussy night for sure.
Pussy night's the winner.
All I'm going to say is it's really hard to eat pasta when it's bright pink, it's Ugh! I bet.
But was it a fun dinner? Like, who went? Oh yeah, uh, so it was me and Jess and Mike and ah, oh Mike's friend, um, Victor, from the bbq.
- Victor? - Yeah.
Huh, okay, uh, did he, um, did he say anything about me? No, do you know him? Mm, no no I just ah, I just think he's cute.
- Ooh, you think he's cute.
- Mhm.
Did you two chat at the bbq? No.
Oh okay.
So sorry, I'm a little confused.
So you don't know him and you've never spoken to him? No.
So he didn't say anything about me? Gosh, that's so weird.
Why would he? Well, I don't know.
I just thought I saw him like look over at me when I was opening a beer and, you know, then I thought maybe he was thinking like, "Ooh, she likes beer, that's so cool.
" And then when he got invited to that dinner, he was thinking like, "Oh wait a second, hang on, "maybe Amanda's going to be there too.
" So when he got there and he didn't see me, he thought "Well maybe she's just a little bit late.
" So he sort of like hoped that I was going to show up.
And then when I didn't come in, he started to think like, "Oh no, like what if something tragic happened to her?" But of course he couldn't ask because he doesn't really actually know me.
So instead he just like drops my name into conversation.
And when no one replies by saying, "There's been an emergency.
" He thinks, "Okay I guess I can let it lie".
But he's still got this nagging feeling in the back of his head.
But he can't keep bringing it up because it's going to totally blow his cover.
And it's like absolutely crazy just how connected we are after just like meeting each other's eyes across a party.
You sound insane.
What? - Yes.
- Why? - That is bonkers.
- No that No there's a lot of logic that is there and assumptions of things, yeah.
Amanda! - Amanda! - What? Oh, thank god, you're safe.
Victor.
Oh I was worried something was wrong but I didn't want to pry because we barely know each other.
- Of course.
- Yeah.
Isn't it crazy how just I feel this connection to you even after just a glance? Just a glance.
I love you.
- You do? - I love her! - He loves me.
- I love you! Oh and I got you this bottle of beer 'cause I know how much you love beer.
I do.
We both love beer.
- Oh.
- Oh my god.
Oh yeah, take me here right now.
(MOANING) - VICTOR: Let's buy a house.
- Meet me outside.
- Let's buy a house.
- Yes, okay.

AMANDA: Fuck me on the sidewalk, let's go.

VICTOR: Get out of the way! AMANDA: Out of the way! Hey, what's your name? My name is married.

Elementary (SNIFFS) Mm.

- Mhm.
Hey sorry, it's just we're in a, a fragrance free office.
(GASPS) Oh no, oh Yeah, it's just your perfume.
Yeah, I'm so sorry, I didn't even realize.
No, it's okay.
It's okay, it's just that, um, Abby over there, she's super sensitive to fragrances, so.
WILLOW: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Um Looks like you rolled it on.
Well I'll go wash this off.
- Yeah, fragrances.
- No problem.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
Abby would really appreciate it.
WILLOW: Oh, okay.
Hey, Willow.
Yeah? Heyo, listen I'm so sorry, it's just, uh, did you wash your hair today? Of course, does it look dirty? Yeah no, it looks great, it looks really beautiful.
It's just that, um, once you-you took the perfume off, the smell from your hair products it just became even more pungent and ah, it's just a bit rough on Abby.
WILLOW: She can smell it all the way over there? CAROLYN: Yeah, it just kind of wafts.
You know, you were sort of shaking your-your hair and your curls a bit and it hits me first, and I'm fine with it, but Ab's over there, um, you know, she's a bit sensitive and Okay, well I guess I'll go rinse it Rinse it off.
Rinse it off in the sink.
Just two or three times.
- Yeah, okay.
Thanks.
- Yeah, okay, sorry, um (WILLOW SIGHS) Hey, Willow? Mhm.
Is that a-a plain yogurt you're eating? Ah, no, it's-it's lemon.
Abby can smell it.
She can smell it? CAROLYN: Really acidic and lemony.
WILLOW: Okay, I'll just, uh, throw it out in the dumpster out back.
- Probably you're best bet.
- Okay.
Do you mind just before you finish it.
Nope.
Nope.
Abby would really appreciate it.
(WILLOW SIGHS) (CAROLYN SNIFFS) Ugh, what is that? - It's grease.
- Hm? It's grease and a little bit of blood because there was a raccoon in the dumpster and it, uh, it jumped out at me.
Oh god, its repugnant! I'm so sorry but I'm just starting to get the feeling that you are purposefully trying to harm Abby.
I just didn't know how much fragrance there was in-in everything.
You didn't know there was fragrance in a dumpster? - Well I just didn't - Yeah.
In feces and-and urine and-and garbage and waste? Raccoons have a smell too.
It's just fragrance is everywhere, you know, it's-it's in everything we know and love, you know, and it's just really hard on Abby.
And it's up to us to protect her and not go diving in dumpsters and washing our hair and eating yogurts.
You know, we've got to step up and make sacrifices in this office.
Oh, um, actually You shut the fuck up Abby, okay, because opening your mouth can create a smell and if you open your mouth and you create a smell then that's something I can't control.
If you can't take responsibility for your own personal care then I just can't even, okay.
Because I try to take responsibility for you.
It's just like not fair! Get it together! Dammit! It's a fragrance free zone everyone! I'm just doing my best! I'm so sorry about all this I-I just No no no no.
It's not your fault.
Her smoking was bothering me so she had to quit.
Oh, that-that makes a lot of sense.
Yeah.
Would you like, um, a Kleenex? - There you go.

Happy retirement Doris.
DORIS: Thank you.

(CRESCENDOING DRAMATIC MUSIC) I mean, she got her money's worth.
Yeah, she really did.
(SCREAMING) AURORA: Hey gang! (AIR KISSES) AURORA: Who's ready for a ladies night? Yes, yes, yes.
And one for you.
I don't want it.
I just-I just-I just You're such a cute little lady! Yeah, I don't know.
I just, I don't really like, identify as a lady.
It doesn't really match my gender.
So I, I just, don't want to wear a crown and be a lady.
How are they going to know it's ladies night though? Yeah.
I'm pretty sure they're going to know.
No, no they won't, no.
You can't promise that, Carol.
You can't promise that.
You know what, I'm sure People are not smart.
Like you can still call each other lady, just don't call me lady.
You know, I just don't really want to be lumped in with the ladies.
It's just I was really looking forward to ladies night.
It's just something that I needed.
Mandy, are you going to be okay? I'm okay if it's ladies night.
CAROL: Honestly, we can still drink and party and stuff, let's just not call it ladies night.
You know, like why does this night have to have a gender? Why do you have to make it about gender? I mean, it's just ladies night.
If you don't want me there, like, I don't have to be there if - (IN UNISON) Noo.
- What? (IN WHINEY VOICES) We want you to go.
We just want you to do what you've always done and not make a big deal about being called lady, even though it makes you uncomfortable, and doesn't match your genderaaah.
Okay, you know what, fine, call me lady.
- (CHEERING) - Really? Really? - No.
- (IN UNISON) Ugh.
CAROL: I think I'll just drink with the cat in the other room for a bit.
AURORA: Pussy night.
- Pussy night? - Pussy night.
MEREDITH: Pussy night for sure.
Pussy night's the winner.
All I'm going to say is it's really hard to eat pasta when it's bright pink, it's Ugh! I bet.
But was it a fun dinner? Like, who went? Oh yeah, uh, so it was me and Jess and Mike and ah, oh Mike's friend, um, Victor, from the bbq.
- Victor? - Yeah.
Huh, okay, uh, did he, um, did he say anything about me? No, do you know him? Mm, no no I just ah, I just think he's cute.
- Ooh, you think he's cute.
- Mhm.
Did you two chat at the bbq? No.
Oh okay.
So sorry, I'm a little confused.
So you don't know him and you've never spoken to him? No.
So he didn't say anything about me? Gosh, that's so weird.
Why would he? Well, I don't know.
I just thought I saw him like look over at me when I was opening a beer and, you know, then I thought maybe he was thinking like, "Ooh, she likes beer, that's so cool.
" And then when he got invited to that dinner, he was thinking like, "Oh wait a second, hang on, "maybe Amanda's going to be there too.
" So when he got there and he didn't see me, he thought "Well maybe she's just a little bit late.
" So he sort of like hoped that I was going to show up.
And then when I didn't come in, he started to think like, "Oh no, like what if something tragic happened to her?" But of course he couldn't ask because he doesn't really actually know me.
So instead he just like drops my name into conversation.
And when no one replies by saying, "There's been an emergency.
" He thinks, "Okay I guess I can let it lie".
But he's still got this nagging feeling in the back of his head.
But he can't keep bringing it up because it's going to totally blow his cover.
And it's like absolutely crazy just how connected we are after just like meeting each other's eyes across a party.
You sound insane.
What? - Yes.
- Why? - That is bonkers.
- No that No there's a lot of logic that is there and assumptions of things, yeah.
Amanda! - Amanda! - What? Oh, thank god, you're safe.
Victor.
Oh I was worried something was wrong but I didn't want to pry because we barely know each other.
- Of course.
- Yeah.
Isn't it crazy how just I feel this connection to you even after just a glance? Just a glance.
I love you.
- You do? - I love her! - He loves me.
- I love you! Oh and I got you this bottle of beer 'cause I know how much you love beer.

- Mhm.
Hey sorry, it's just we're in a, a fragrance free office.
(GASPS) Oh no, oh Yeah, it's just your perfume.
Yeah, I'm so sorry, I didn't even realize.
No, it's okay.
It's okay, it's just that, um, Abby over there, she's super sensitive to fragrances, so.
WILLOW: Oh, I'm so sorry.
Um Looks like you rolled it on.
Well I'll go wash this off.
- Yeah, fragrances.
- No problem.
- Thank you so much.
- Of course.
Abby would really appreciate it.
WILLOW: Oh, okay.
Hey, Willow.
Yeah? Heyo, listen I'm so sorry, it's just, uh, did you wash your hair today? Of course, does it look dirty? Yeah no, it looks great, it looks really beautiful.
It's just that, um, once you-you took the perfume off, the smell from your hair products it just became even more pungent and ah, it's just a bit rough on Abby.
WILLOW: She can smell it all the way over there? CAROLYN: Yeah, it just kind of wafts.
You know, you were sort of shaking your-your hair and your curls a bit and it hits me first, and I'm fine with it, but Ab's over there, um, you know, she's a bit sensitive and Okay, well I guess I'll go rinse it Rinse it off.
Rinse it off in the sink.
Just two or three times.
- Yeah, okay.
Thanks.
- Yeah, okay, sorry, um (WILLOW SIGHS) Hey, Willow? Mhm.
Is that a-a plain yogurt you're eating? Ah, no, it's-it's lemon.
Abby can smell it.
She can smell it? CAROLYN: Really acidic and lemony.
WILLOW: Okay, I'll just, uh, throw it out in the dumpster out back.
- Probably you're best bet.
- Okay.
Do you mind just before you finish it.
Nope.
Nope.
Abby would really appreciate it.
(WILLOW SIGHS) (CAROLYN SNIFFS) Ugh, what is that? - It's grease.
- Hm? It's grease and a little bit of blood because there was a raccoon in the dumpster and it, uh, it jumped out at me.
Oh god, its repugnant! I'm so sorry but I'm just starting to get the feeling that you are purposefully trying to harm Abby.
I just didn't know how much fragrance there was in-in everything.
You didn't know there was fragrance in a dumpster? - Well I just didn't - Yeah.
In feces and-and urine and-and garbage and waste? Raccoons have a smell too.
It's just fragrance is everywhere, you know, it's-it's in everything we know and love, you know, and it's just really hard on Abby.
And it's up to us to protect her and not go diving in dumpsters and washing our hair and eating yogurts.
You know, we've got to step up and make sacrifices in this office.
Oh, um, actually You shut the fuck up Abby, okay, because opening your mouth can create a smell and if you open your mouth and you create a smell then that's something I can't control.
If you can't take responsibility for your own personal care then I just can't even, okay.
Because I try to take responsibility for you.
It's just like not fair! Get it together! Dammit! It's a fragrance free zone everyone! I'm just doing my best! I'm so sorry about all this I-I just No no no no.
It's not your fault.
