Come on, I'm going to be late.

Let's go.

Oh, about time.

Finally.

Whoa, whoa, whoa. We're going to hold it right there. Why are you stopping me?

Safety first, pal. Safety first.

It's ridiculous.

And there's nobody at the other end. There's no cars waiting. Let me go.

get there when you get there, all right, Mr. Big Shot?

Cool your jets.

Cool my jets.

Can I see a supervisor, please? It's ridiculous. You're in trouble.

Big George.

Yeah, Big George. This gentleman requires a word.

We'll see what happens to you.

Is there a problem?

Big George.

Yeah. He let one car go.

Then he stopped me.

Now there's no cars. And he still stopped me again.

That's what he's supposed to do, sir. Thank you. How is that what he's

to do? First of all, you're not even doing anything.

He was rude to me. How about that? Ah.

Tony, were you rude to this man?

Yeah. Look at him.

Listen, between you and me... I hate his guts. Loves me. He's always late. He's

disrespectful to his co -workers. And he calls me Big George.

Big George!

You think that doesn't sting? I know what I look like. You fire him when

like that. You fire him. He's union. There's nothing I can do.

Union?

What does that have to do with it? Nothing I can do.

Wow.

You're hilarious.

Go.

Put the brakes on that, honey.

I'm awesome.

No, you're not, dude. Don't lie.

I'm awesome. I'm driving around in my mom's ride. I'm awesome. A quarter of my

life gone by.

I'm awesome.

Ah,

Jerry.

You know what? I can't talk right now, okay, because I'm late.

Okay, just real quick. My mom and I host this monthly soiree, Shea Hunt, and

she's currently painting the living room sort of this fine shaded. Hurry up.

Anyway, what with the wet paint and me being your landlord, I was hoping that

could host the party tomorrow night at your place. Why would I do that? Because

we're friends.

No. No, we can't host the party at your place, or no, we're not friends. Terry.

Oh, great. You're supposed to be in class. What are you doing? I was going

class, okay? But Simon's grandfather just passed away, and I was consoling

I'm sorry about that.

Whoa. Right?

Died again?

Yeah. Why would you do that?

He's gone again.

This is the third time this week. You cannot keep showing up late like this.

not make me warn you again.

All right.

Wow.

That was rough. What do you think she meant by that? You think she'd fire you

again? No, she's not going to fire me again for being late, but I got to go.

You get fired twice from the same job. Okay, I got to go.

Closed.

Go the other way. This one is closed until tomorrow.

Walk.

Hey, hey, hey. Yes? What do you mean, closed?

I already cleaned this hallway, so I closed it. The kids, they go the other

It's the middle of a school day. You can't go around just shutting down parts

the school.

But this is the only way I can finish by seven. This school is too big for me

to, you know, clean by myself. Mr. Malik, help me help you.

Show up earlier.

Work harder. Work smarter. I don't know. Just find a way. I have life outside

work. My boys depend on me. Let me put it this way to you.

Either you find a way to do your job, or I will find

someone else who cares.

Careful, it's wet.

You are the bane of my existence.

We're going to mix things up a little bit today.

I'd like to talk about union.

Sir, we're supposed to be discussing Kantian ethics today. You know what? I

can't even deal with you sometimes.

So that's the discussion over. And, very rude, interrupt me, especially in an

ethics class, so that's unethical.

Unions, who can tell me everything they know about unions?

During the Industrial Revolution, working conditions were incredibly poor.

going to cut you off right there, Sheila. I don't really care what

the 1200s or whatever. Here's a good question. Let's see if you know this.

How do you start a union?

I will give you five participation marks if you...

Lori, how do you form a union?

To form a union, you need a vote of 50 % plus one in support.

50 % plus one. So 51%, thank you, of the votes, and you get a union.

Sir, it's 50 % plus one. 50 % plus one is not the same as 51%.

So apparently, I'm an idiot.

I want to brush up on your math skills, like your grade one math skills.

Sir, it's not the same thing.

50 % plus one vote.

50 plus 1 is 51. What?

Yeah, still.

Hey, let's have a vote. Who's tired of Sheila just talking gibberish all the

time for no reason?

Thank you, Darcy.

That's one vote. Now you need another 50 % for me to stop with the gibberish.

I get it. All right. Fair enough.

We're saying the same thing differently.

I want you to read Chapter 5 for a bit, because that's probably coming up in a

year somewhere.

So let's get ahead and start on that. I've got to do a little more research on

unions, because I want to give you some more challenging questions.

Sir, what about my five extra bonus marks?

Hey, Laurie gets five extra participation marks. Can you write it

book so you don't forget?

It's in my book, Laurie, okay? I don't need to go write it down on a piece of

paper. That's my book.

Everything's in there in different parts of my head.

That's how teachers roll.

Now it's four.

Been there.

It's not happening.

Hey, Lisa.

You made it.

Can't believe you haven't mentioned your brother before. We have so much in

common. Oh, sorry. And I didn't realize things had gotten so bad.

She's such a joker. Well, it turns out we're both Libras. We both love

cinema. And we're cat people.

Oh.

So you just figured all that out now, huh?

Hey, when you click, you click, right?

It's like what the Norwegians say.

Yeah, yeah, showing some... Anyway, I gotta get going.

Lisa, we'll see you on Friday.

Oh, uh, Trudy, could you check my schedule for Friday?

Yeah, all right.

Oh, okay.

You got nothing.

Oh, this is a slow week. Next week, that's really busy.

No, it isn't. You're free.

All year.

Absolutely. Nothing.

Two Fridays in a row, I'm all yours.

Until Friday, then. Oh, my.

See this?

Yeah.

That's a super for Veranda.

What are you doing, Jerry? Hi.

Oh, Jerry, come on.

My sandwich.

Does that say onion?

What?

Union. Looks like onion. That's clearly an O. Look at the curvature of the top.

It's a U, Emma. Why would I stand on the table and hold up a sign that says

onion? I don't know, Jerry. Why would you stand on a table with a sign that

union? Because we're starting one here at the school.

Whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa, whoa. What are you doing here?

Two words, Bobby.

Job security.

Without a union, we don't have any. Okay, just talking about this is

your job. Not to mention the paying your dues and going to meetings. It's a

serious pain. It's not a lot of pain.

It's been a while since I fought the man. Let's do this.

You can all fight me, but we're doing this. And if you're in a union, you

have to go to the meetings. Great, yes.

Yeah, way to bring people together, Jerry. Okay. I love the commitment.

Union, yeah.

I'll tell you what, I gotta get down because that's... You ever hold

over your head like that?

Oh, my God.

Forget the Norma Jean reference. That is hard to hold that. I should have just

held it here.

Norma Jean?

The union girl?

Sally Fields? No, that's Norma Ray.

Norma Ray.

Norma Ray.

Who is Norma Jean? Norma Jean is Marilyn Monroe. Marilyn Monroe.

Marilyn Monroe wanted a union.

No. Ted Kennedy said no, so they shot him from a library.

That's why the whole Kennedy thing happened. He didn't, and he got shot by

union boss.

Oh, my God, no.

Norma Jean, Marilyn Monroe did not want a union, and it's John Kennedy.

Norma Ray brought it to their attention.

Norma Ray. Learn your history.

How are you a teacher? What are you talking about?

How are you? You go to teacher's college, Bobby.

That's how I became a teacher.

That guy reuses new tea bags. He's not going to pay union dues.

Dwyer is ours for sure.

So what does that leave us at?

Well, 14 for no union and 14 for this union.

Who are we missing?

Simon.

Well, speak to him.

He'll say yes for sure. He does everything I tell him to do. I wouldn't

sure. Hey, Simon.

Come here, bud.

Come here,

good boy. Hey, Simon, have a seat here.

Right here, bud. Why not have a little seat here?

No, that's fun.

Who had cookies?

Who had the cookie?

No peanuts.

But then there's this guy.

Simon's my best buddy. I love Simon.

This is fun.

Where were they? The door.

Classic.

Lisa, looking forward to Friday.

Oh.

See ya.

Oh, Trudy. Kind of busy here. Speaking of Ed, wow, you guys are close.

Yeah, I suppose so, like most brothers and sisters.

Right, right, right.

I'm not really sure how to put this, but... How to put what?

The kissing, Trudy, on the lips.

What? It's weird, Trudy.

He's your brother, and I want him to be my boyfriend, and I can't compete with

you.

Ew. What are you implying? It's an affectionate little kiss. Oh, my God.

Why does it have to be on the mouth? Why not the cheek?

Is this really such a big deal to you? Kind of. All right. How about we won't

that around you anymore?

Happy? Very.

Wait. Over the clothes stuff. That's still okay, though, right?

See, I know you're joking, but I really hope you're joking.

Idiot. And unions are full of bureaucracy and no meritocracy.

Hmm. Well, Bobby, that was both rousing and riveting. Thank you. You make a

compelling case. Great.

Jerry, I eagerly await your rebuttal. You can have your party at our place.

Sold. What? You're not invited. No, come on. That is hardly fair.

Feels good to make an informed decision.

You can't have a party without checking in with me, man. Technically, it's

Simon's party, and he's our landlord. I had no choice. Simon!

What's up, buddy?

Hey!

Knock,

knock.

How you doing?

I'm good, I'm good.

We should start doing that when we see each other.

It's more our thing.

Yeah. Hey, you got any punch bowls?

Cereal bowls?

Yeah. Should be enough for 20 people?

No, no, no, no. I agreed to a little soiree. Get two hours, five people, and

clean up. It's a party. Come on.

No. Five people. Oh, interesting.

What? Oh, just Bobby texting me. She wanted to meet up for ice cream after

which wouldn't have been possible with the original plan, but now... Oh, then

let's... Never mind what Bill said. Let's have the original plan.

Yeah? Yeah.

Okay. You know what? That stops, though.

Oh.

What is she doing upstairs? She's at the party, Bill. I just told you there's a

party, okay?

Upstairs.

Harold, you sexy beast.

You know the drill.

Oh, I know what's going on here. Don't drink and drive.

No.

Seven o 'clock.

Good to see you. Put your key in the bowl and everything?

I live here, so I don't need to drive. You remember my husband, Ted, don't you?

Yeah, pretty hard to forget.

Oh, I thought about you, Jerry. That's right. Yeah, I thought about you a lot.

Great. Okay, this is fun.

Yeah. How do you know Simon's mom?

Oh, let's just say that we run in similar circles.

That's a shocker.

Yeah, you're very different at school, Emma. This is a different side of you.

Well, I like to let my hair down, Jerry. Yeah.

Way down.

Yeah. It's very weird to me.

Is this a regular thing you and your mom do?

Oh, yeah, yeah. Probably about once a month.

Twice sometimes.

Three times. Sometimes three times a month. And you partake?

Oh, Mom says I'm indispensable.

Yeah. Keyboy, she calls me. Pretty hard to test drive other people's cars

without Keyboy.

You look decidedly delicious tonight, Bill.

Oh. You seem energetic.

Sweetheart, some of our guests are leaving.

Showtime.

Poor keyboard.

Keys! Get your keys here!

I hope you get to drive me home.

Ah, no, I live here. But I could see if someone could give you a ride if you

want.

You don't have to go anywhere for me, Jerry.

Okay. You know I'll do all the driving. Yeah, you know I live here, Angela,

okay?

You're too funny.

Funny, yummy, Jerry.

I've got to put a leaf on it, Mom.

Someone should.

This is the strangest group of people I've ever met. I don't know what's going

on. This is some kind of weird party.

Yeah, it's a key party. What's a key party? Everyone puts their keys in a

and at the end of the night you grab one, and whoever's keys they are... They

just drive you home.

I thought that was the normal drink and drive.

No, this is a swingers party.

Oh, my God. In our house?

Yeah. Oh, that's disgusting.

Everyone out.

Everyone out. I'm not getting arrested.

Out. Party's over. Jerry, don't be such a party pooper.

No, no, no. Party's over. Out. What are you doing? I'm so sorry, buddy. These

are my mom's friends.

Why, your mother's been to some weird stuff with some weird friends.

My mother is a saint.

I don't think so. She's very giving.

You know what?

I'm going to talk to Bobby later.

Should we continue this at your place, Teddy Bear?

Ooh.

Sounds good to me.

Look at that. There goes Mother Teresa with Emma's husband's head.

Come on, Simon. Just let me have two minutes of your time.

Keep it moving, pal.

You make it too easy around here, Jerry. Off you go.

what's going on here if you have to know it's just teachers having a little

union vote who organized this Why do you want to know who organized it?

Do you have any idea how you and I got our jobs?

Two teachers five years ago tried to do this very thing, and Callahan creatively

found a way to fire them. What?

Looks like I'm going to have to do the same thing.

Yeah, well, you should if you find out who started this. I have an idea.

It starts with the words, she... Hey, Jerry.

The gang loves the T -shirts.

What did I tell you? Get your sick ideologies out of here.

I'm not interested in your encyclopedia sales.

That's disgusting.

Seriously, like, goodbye.

What are you doing?

What are you doing?

Reeling in bullies.

Unbelievable. Anyway, you know what? You're just in time.

Time to cast my vote.

Good for you, Jerry.

All right.

Uh, everybody, I'm voting.

I know it's supposed to be a secret ballot, but I don't care. I'm proud to

no. And if you're voting no...

Good for you.

Good for you. Or as the kids say nowadays, GFY.

GFY, everybody.

Jemalek, do I look happy right now?

No. Exactly.

Because I'm ecstatic.

That took a turn.

The floors are spotless. The place has never been more immaculate. You must

been here all night.

It was exhausting, but...

I did what had to be done. Because I pushed you to be better.

Now look, I'm so proud of us.

You're my best friend.

An unbreakable bond.

Hand buddies.

Called it.

What are you doing?

Do like some soap scum or something right here in the window. Get that

up.

I have never been.

and shall never be your friend.

Hi. Hi. Ready to go? I've been ready for hours, years.

All right.

Okay, so we're going to go and see Mom and Dad tomorrow, yeah?

Yeah, I'll bring the dessert.

Don't bring tarts, Mom. I hate tarts. So don't bring... Here.

Oh, oh, oh, right.

Where's my kid?

Um, nope, we're huggers now. That's our thing.

Okay, all right.

Okay, you just, uh... This isn't going to work.

Okay.

Oh, come on, Simon. You're still mad at me? Can I help you with something? You

won the vote.

No, I didn't. Jerry, I lost the vote. What are you talking about?

You voted pro -union? Yeah. I was voting pro -union the whole way. How is that

possible? Earlier today, I came up to you. You didn't even want to talk to me,

and you were cuddling up to Bobby.

I didn't want to talk to you because I was still mad at you because you ruined

my mom's party.

So I was the swing vote, not you. I can't believe it.

Union would have meant free massages. Could have brought my mom down, got a

couple's massage.

That's going to be your birthday present. Colin's sick, no questions

Sleep with one eye open, scab.

Oh, God.

Mr. Malick, I've been thinking about it. You've been doing such a great job

here. Why don't you feel free to take off just a little bit early tomorrow?

Thank you, Mr. Cheely. The boy will be thrilled. Well, I might be hard.

But I'm fair.

So please say hello to your family for me in whatever language it is you people

speak. Okay?

Seven o 'clock.

Come to me.

Clean, my pretty!

I got you guys in your boys' bathroom.

Tomorrow.

We play at six.

Sorry, all I could get you was Junior Girls Volleyball.

Ha!

Hey, George!

Got a blue shirt today.

White collars. You know what's funny?

You guys are in the exact same spots you were a few days ago. Like, it's like

you've done nothing. Let me go. There's nobody there right now.

All right. Oh, let's see what the wheel says.

Give me a break.

Place your bets.

Oh, red.

You want to double down?

Double down? You want that action?

Spin it again. Spin again. All right. Yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow, yellow.

Oh, red again.

You watching this? Union. Union.

How long do I have to wait?

It's not your night.

It's not your night because I'm walking.

See ya.

Bill, Bill, don't let him go, Bill.

Don't, Bill. Oh, Bill.
