She's gotta be fed.
You take people to the toilet? - Yes.
Sure.
- One and two? For numbers one and two? - Yeah.
- See? You can't do that.
You can barely wipe your own butt.
Look, this is a serious matter, Chip.
'Cause we need to employ Roy, okay? Because if she relies on us, she's gonna die, and she's gonna take us with her.
And I don't feel like going to heaven right now.
You're hired, and we'll see you on Monday.
Okay? It's time to grow up, okay? You need a real j-o-b, and that spells "job.
" You understand? Hi, I'm Joseph Dunn, vice president of human resources here at Arby's.
You've chosen a great career path.
Welcome to the family.
Yo, Chip? All we had was an XL.
That'll fit you, though, right? - Yeah.
Thank you.
- All right, man.
Suit up.
We'll catch you out there.
- Thanks, Arby.
- It's Jody.
Christine, just remember that if I'm not here, blue is in the morning, and purple is at night.
- I got it.
- You got it.
Oh, hey, are you Chip? - Or Dale? - Where's Roy? This is Sebastian.
He used to be the nurse to the Chemical Brothers' mother.
Guilty as charged.
Nice to meet you.
Now he's my nurse, and you don't have to worry about a thing, because Logan and Cody are paying for it out of their joint savings account.
But I thought Dale and I were taking care of the nursing situation.
Well, that's very nice of you, but you keep that money.
You put that in a savings or a checking account.
You could have your own personalized checks.
I am so proud of you for getting that job.
And you look happier, too.
Hey, Chip, buddy.
I'm gonna move your mom to the downstairs bedroom.
It's gonna give her more freedom.
Maybe you can help me out with that Chip.
Can I put this here? You know, I was their coach.
We went 25 and 0.
Really? What a major record.
They wanted us to quit one day and forfeit the game, 'cause we had so many runs, but I said no.
Woo-hoo-hoo! Hey, fellas! Hey, guys? Hey, boys! Be careful! My dad fell off that bridge! Yeah, he fell off! He jumped off of it, but Martha, hi.
Uh, what are you doing here? I'm not interrupting anything, am I? No.
How did you get back here? Just got in.
Just walked right through the door.
Why are you wearing that uniform? Oh, I had to get a day job to pay a gentleman to help my mom take a dump.
- Hmm.
- So, uh, that's what that's about.
And, um, you know, I was just driving around, and I wanted to know if you needed a ride or anything.
Um, well I have my mom's car, if you want to just, I don't know, take a nice drive or Um, well, I have my car here.
It's not a competition.
Just do it, Martha.
Just come on.
- Yeah, okay.
All right.
- Yeah? - Yeah, let's go.
- Okay, let's go.
I don't know, I think I'll like it.
Get all the free lemonade I want.
I can, you know, switch shifts with any of the fellas, which is convenient.
Well, you know, the pay is Nothing to really sneeze at.
How was your day? Are you acting weird because I had sex with Dale? I'm sorry, Chip.
I thought you knew.
Martha told me that you found out about our little sex romp in the van.
- Can I take your order? - And you know, you're my brother, and I wanted to come to you and let you know that I love Martha, okay? - No, you don't.
- I do.
I love her.
I do.
She makes me feel alive.
- No, she doesn't.
- She does.
And I don't care who knows it.
I don't care who knows it, Arby's! She makes me feel alive! - Is there a problem here? - Oh, just a ornery customer, sir.
I'm trying to figure it out here.
I found a dead sea turtle in my curly fries.
- That's not true, sir.
That's not true.
- But it's okay.
This young gentleman helped me out.
Very helpful.
I don't know if you give bonuses, but he deserves one.
Unfortunately, we don't actually give bonuses, but we do have a very competitive wage increase for employees who stick around.
Oh, that's good to know.
I'm crazy about her, okay? Because she excites me.
She gets my loins craving for her loins.
Do you understand what that's like? Look, Martha is my friend, okay? She was my friend first.
You stay away from her.
I'm an artist too inside, you know that? I may be a little jealous watching and you laugh.
Running around with all kinds of womans.
Going off to Europe, painting your face up like a clown.
That looks like fun.
Do I look like I'm having fun here? You think I'm having fun sitting at home being world's greatest Dad? That's not any fun.
So guess what.
I'm moving in with you and mama.
I'm afr I'm afraid you cannot do that.
Dale, you cannot do that.
I can.
I'm going to.
You know what? Joke's on you because Nicole and the kids already kicked me out.
It's my turn to be a twerp.
I'll have the number 3 combo.
Hello.
You hear me? Number 3 combo.
I was a fantasy for you.
- Mama is a diabetic.
She could die.
- No! Are you acting weird because I had sex with Dale? I am so proud of you for getting that job.
Okay.
With tax, that's going to be 6.
35.
What's what's this? Combo number 3.
That's bullshit! No, it's combo number 3: Max roast beef.
Yeah, that's what you asked for, right? You call this sandwich? What's going on, Chip? Look, I got a lot of family issues going on right now.
Okay? You probably want to fire me.
No, man.
You'll get used to it.
Go ahead.
Take the rest of the day off, okay? You're Arby's family now, my man, and Arby takes care of his own.
What about me? We'll go ahead and get that taken care of in just a second, man.
Just go home, get cleaned up and get this all straightened out, all right? Okay.
Thanks, Arby.
It's Jody.
Yeah.
This crap.
This no combo 3.
I'm really sorry about this, sir.
This isn't a normal representation of Arby's food.
We'll go ahead and get this taken care of.
Uh, hold on.
We're waiting for one more.
I'm so sorry to hear about Nicole,you know, it was never gonna work though.
- She is practically from another planet! - Where is Chip? He ain't gonna be here, like I asked.
Flaked again.
Well, you can't blame him.
He's just like his father.
Always flaking on the family.
I'll tell you one thing.
I'll never flake on the family.
That's for sure.
It'll be good to have you home, Dale.
Thank you.
Mr.
Photographer, will you go ahead and take the picture? Okay.
And, uh, Mr.
Photographer.
I want to do something real quick.
Just, uh, take a picture of me here.
Okay, do that, Photoshop that image and my image right there, and I'll see you later.
Okay? Hey, take a couple of singles, will you? Oh.
Don't worry about it.
Get me an apple, though.
Throwing away a lot of good cowboy hats there.
Damn shame, isn't it? Got ourselves a cease and desist order from the humane society.
And I have to close up shop, shut the rodeo down.
Reckon I'll ride out west, hold me up a train, get my ass all shot up, die in a creek somewhere.
Eddie, I'm a clown.
I need this place.
What am I going to do? Oh, hell, you'll be a clown whether this place is here or not.
Yeah, that's part of the problem.
Well, don't cry to me.
I ain't your daddy.
