This is wrong.
This is so mind-blowingly, incredibly fucking wrong.
Jim, have you been drinking today? No, I have not.
I haven't had a drink for four weeks and three days.
I couldn't have done it without them.
To my mother-in-law, Anne Blecher.
I gotta drink to that.
Me too.
Bottoms up! Because, for the last few weeks, I've been carrying around a little secret.
What? Josh, you're gonna be a dad.
I'm sorry we fought.
Everything'll be okay.
Sorry we fought too.
We'll get the down payment.
Yeah.
- Yeah.
- I'll get another job.
Maybe you need to rest.
No, I don't need sleep.
Maybe the baby's sleeping for me.
Maybe I could do one job with this hand, and one job with this hand.
What do you guys think? Maybe you should go back to bed.
- Come with me? - I have to go to work.
It's Labour Day, it's a day off.
There are no more days off.
Aw It's the last of the wedding cake.
And up above us all Leaning into sky Our golden business boy Watched the north end die And sang I love this town Then let his arcing wrecking ball proclaim I Hate Winnipeg Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim, Jim Hi.
You should get a cleaning lady.
See, the thing is, it's not my place, Annie.
Really? Whose place is this? Fucked if I know.
Oh.
Must've been a good party.
I don't even remember.
I think the last thing I remember was that speech at the wedding, and then it gets fuzzy quick.
Aw no.
Jim, I need to get home.
Okay, this is bullshit.
Okay.
I'll just deal with it.
Be careful.
What was that? Uh, that sounded like a shotgun.

Okay, so what's wrong today already? It's shit.
It's me.
When are you gonna give yourself a break? Sorry, I'll get that.
Oh, hi! Sheldon, come on, you have to get going! - We have to return the chairs from the wedding.

Yeah, but everybody gets married on Labour Day! They're open! Come on! Okay, I'm just gonna put on my sandals.
Hey, how are things with Cody? It's great, he's, um-- he's a great kid.
And how are things going with you, sweetheart? - I'm fine.
- No, she's not! Miriam's stressed.
Well, don't be, because I found your phone.
It was out on the balcony.
You got a text from Jack-- "Baby emergency"? Oh my god, he dropped the baby! It's probably nothing.
Well then, call him.
- What's goin' on? - Jack dropped the baby! - What? - He didn't! Come on! What's going on? What's going on? Is he answering? No.
Um Why don't I just go check on him? - That's a great idea, come on.
- Yeah, I'm ready.
Come on! My car's downstairs! Come on! Oh my god, oh my god Annie! Would you slow down? Annie! Annie! There's nobody chasing after us, okay? Annie! Annie! Whoa.
Okay, okay.
You realize you're running around in circles, right? Why were they shooting at you? They weren't shooting at me.
I think they were just random shooting.
- Oh good, good, good, good.
- It's okay.
Everything's gonna be fine.
- Where are we? - Oh, I dunno.
Not lost.
This is what we're gonna do.
We're gonna stick to one direction.

- I'm sorry.
- Okay, thank you.
It's not a race Okay! Let's get started.
Good mornin', Manitoba Labels! Happy Fun Day.
Okay, I know you're thinking "Why am I not with my family? It's Labour Day.
" When I look around this room, I see my family.
- Woo! - And we are gonna have fun.
And you know who else is gonna play with us? Uncle Hundred Dollar Bill.
Hm? Who wants to take Uncle Bill home? I do! I do.
Don't you want to know how you'll take Uncle Bill home? Yes.
When Manitoba Labels started out, "licking our competition" was a pretty good slogan.
So awesome But in 2004, I said that I should change that slogan.
Ladies and gentlemen today is the day.
Now who's gonna start us off? New slogans, anybody? Eric! Stick with us, the best years are yet to come.
Good, but too long.
Katie? Manitoba Labels Shit, yeah! Anybody else? - I'd tap that label.
- Okay.
Dean? Our labels are better than tornados.
- Ech - Label me excited! This is getting good.
Goran? Josh? Manitoba Labels, you're stuck with us? I'm not sure that's a message we want out there, so no.
M-M-Manitoba Labels, stick with us! That's the one! Yes! Congratulations, Eric! I said that! Josh, yours was good, but Eric made it gooder.
Congratulations, Eric.
Thank you.
Let's hear it for him! It's a great start for Team Green, huh? Team Green! Team Green! Boo! What have you done? Oh, shit! Okay, just, just be cool.
Is Cody hurt? Cody, why would Cody be hurt? Because you texted Miriam and said there was a baby emergency! Oh, yeah, no-- I exaggerated the emergency, he's fine! He's upstairs.
Sleeping.
Sleeping? Then why did you say there was an emergency? Because I need to go to the gym! I rushed over here because going to the gym is an emergency for you? I don't know what the hell you're doing here-- I texted my babysitter! It's resolved! It's resolved! We're all good.
We're gonna go.
