All language subtitles for George Lopez s04e09 E.I E.I OH

What's this?

I didn't order a new desk.

This is beautiful.

Hey, it's got to be from the Powers
Brothers.

Yeah, but why would they get me a new
desk?

Hey, there's my guy. Oh, shoot.

This wasn't supposed to come till after
I made the big announcement.

Hey, come on.

Everybody should hear this.

Hey, new desk, big announcement.

You know what this means?

Yeah, somebody important's missing their
desk.

No, they're finally going to make me
vice president.

All right, George.

That's right.

Check out my VP what? What's that?

Listen up, people.

I have some very big news.

This is something that's been a very
long time in coming. Jack, I want you to

know I don't care how long it took.

I'm just happy you finally made the
right decision. Hello.

We're merging with Aerocorp.

Hey, Jack, this merger thing's kind of
stealing my VP thunder.

You're not VP, George, but you can be
president of crazy ideas.

How can we merge with Aerocorp, Jack?

You always said that they were a
heartless, soulless corporation, and we

never going to be like that. And we are
not going to be like that.

We're just going to be working with
people like that.

Come on, this is a great opportunity for
everybody, so let's celebrate.

Hey, Jack.

What does this merger thing mean?

This is very good for you, George.

You'll be managing a larger division
with more responsibilities. In fact, you

may need a co -manager.

How'd you feel about that?

I'd hate it.

I don't want to have to deal with
another person on every decision I make.

All right, well, let me try that a
different way.

Great news, George.

You have a co -manager.

Come on in. I want you to meet her.

Don't worry about who that is, okay? Why
don't you just find the end of a pencil

and hop on it, troll?

I don't want to make my co -manager feel
uncomfortable, but I'm really going to

need a little more room for my desk.

Oh, perfect. You, could you move this
for me?

Uh,

move el desco.

I don't know, senora.

It hurts. I got a spasm. Spasm.

If I had one of my nine kids, maybe,
pero no.

The desk is too heavy. Ay, Dios.

I go back to the cactus. Watch out.

Vanessa, this is George Lopez. He's your
co -manager.

Okay,

why don't we start over?

Vanessa Brooks.

Watch out, George.

He's an MBA, a CPA, the youngest manager
in Air Corp history.

Smart as a whip.

Hey, tell her about me, Jack.

Well, George worked on the lathe for 15
years and was recently named president

of crazy ideas.

Watch out.

So, Vanessa, why don't I show you the
rest of the plan? You two can catch up

later. Great.

Did you hear?

Yeah.

There's no way this is going to work
out.

It'll be okay. You know what? In a
couple of weeks, she'll outsmart you,

your spirit, and end up wearing a
necklace made of your wevels.

You don't know that.

I'm just basing it on your marriage.

I am so proud of you.

What's going on?

Your mom told me they made you VP.

Did you do your VP walk?

Mom.

Angie, I forgot to finish the story.

I thought he was going to be the VP.

The truth is, Jack stuck him with a co
-manager who will probably take his job

from him by the end of the week.

George, what's he talking about? You're
not really going to lose your job, are

you?

Benita, darling, am I glad to see you.
It's been a hell of a day.

Oh, how was your aunt's funeral?

Awesome! I got the house!

She didn't have any kids. My brother's
in prison. I made the last nursing home

visit.

The house is too big for one man,
Benita.

Then get another man.

I'm not moving in with you, Randy. Don't
say no until you've seen the house.

Now, you know what?

No, no, it doesn't matter how big the
house is. I am not giving up my

independence.

Especially not for the man.

who left me at the altar.

I'll date him, I'll do him, but living
together is out.

Look, I'm worried about this woman,
aren't you?

She's this MBA hotshot they hired right
out of college. I mean, I spent the day

with her.

She's smart.

She's clever.

I've never had to deal with a woman like
this.

You've never had to deal with a woman
this smart or this clever?

Never!

Well, that was clever.

Thank you.

So this woman is smart. So what?

What makes you think she's a threat?
Look, nobody who's been a manager wants

be a co -manager, Angie.

I mean, think about it. How'd you like
to be a co -wife?

If she'd just clean the toilets, it
would be wonderful.

Look, you're not listening here. I got a
problem, all right?

I can tell this woman is a shark.

You know what I got to do?

I got to get her before she gets me.

And I'll be fast, too. She won't even
see me coming. I'll be like a ninja

I'll be floating like that. I don't even
have to have those, but we wouldn't

know if they did, would we?

Before you go all ninja fish.

And guaranteed that she becomes an
enemy, why don't we have her over for

and see what she's really like?

That's a good idea.

We can get her drunk.

And we can find her weakness. She'll be
like that. Ah, I'm alive.

More wine?

Oh, no, thank you.

Two glasses is my limit.

Too late.

Hey, we have an old... tradition here in
the lopez house if the bottle ends on

you you gotta confess a lie that you've
told it could be a lie to a friend the

government something on your resume this
sounds like the game we just played

with the shrimp whoever gets the last
one has to reveal if they've ever taken

drugs uh angie i think it's time for
that truth or dare rum cake

George, I think that's enough games.
Max, why don't you go upstairs and see

Carmen's feeling better?

Actually, Max, shouldn't you be doing
your homework now?

Oh, right.

I have to ask five career women what
they think their one weakness is that

be used against them at work.

That's a good question, Max.

When I started my wedding planning
business, I thought my one weakness was

marketing. But listen to this, Logan.

Angie's event.

Do I plan the best wedding?

I do.

Angie, thank you for a great dinner.

George, why don't we talk outside?

Sure, I'll be right there.

Go to her purse. George.

If you love me, do it.

Sure, I'd like some ice cream on that
rum cake.

I don't have any ice cream.

Well, then take $20 out of her purse
and... I know

what you're trying to do in there.

What are you talking about? George,
you're not the first guy to try and get

drunk. Although you were the first one
to do it in front of his wife and kid.

Okay, no more games.

Okay, here it is.

I worked like hell for 15 years to get
to where I am. I'm not going to let

someone just come in and try to take my
job.

Look... I know they kind of forced me on
you at the factory, but I'm not trying

to take your job.

George, if anything, I need you because
you know how the plant runs.

And you need me to deal with the
corporate politics.

Look, I know all about the corporate
politics, okay? I know everything that's

going on in this company. Did you know
that Air Corp wants to cut 20 jobs from

Powers Brothers immediately?

They never tell me nothing.

And that includes your mom and your
friend Ernie Cardenas.

Okay, no way, all right? I'm not losing
any of my workers, all right? This is

just some knee -jerk reaction to cut
expenses.

Okay, then we're going to have to prove
that. You and me together, we're going

to have to go over the files and make a
case for keeping these people.

I'll do whatever it takes to save those
20 jobs.

Okay.

Oh, now I know why you didn't invite me
over for dinner.

You were scared that I was going to
embarrass you in front of the new co

-manager. Too late.

Did you know that he used to hide his
dirty underwear in his shoes?

Not now, Mom.

I got 19 jobs to save.

You want to see me? Yeah.

I know AeroCorp wants to fire 20 of our
employees.

That is not true.

I hated how these rumors... has just
come out of nowhere.

And these people would spook like a herd
of cattle if they heard that.

Not that they're cattle, they're people,
but 20 of them are going to get made

into hamburger.

No.

Vanessa and I have gone through these
files and these 20 people are

indispensable.

We both feel you have to find somewhere
else to make the cut.

I disagree.

I think that these 20 people have got to
go if we're going to balance this

budget.

What?

Jack, I've tried explaining this to
George, but he's too close to these

George, look, I got Eric Corp breathing
down my neck to make cuts.

Sometimes I think you forget your
management. You're still thinking like

on the line. Don't listen to her.

She's a complete liar, Jack.

Jack, I... I heard she told a racist
joke by the water cooler.

Have I at the sushi bar? Because that's
mine.

No, she can't do that to me.

You don't come down to my factory and
make me look like a fool.

I can't believe Vanessa betrayed you.
And after she had dinner at our house

our family.

Oh, my God.

I told her my I do slogan. What if she
steals it?

Then all is lost.

Oh, there go my dreams of retirement.

I was going to spend my last few years
at a Vegas craps table with a smoke in

one hand and an oxygen tank in the
other.

Look, I'll figure something out, Mom,
okay?

Because you don't underestimate George
Lopez.

They did when they said I'd never read.

And 12 years later, I did.

They said I'd never make manager.

And 15 years later, I did.

So somewhere between 12 and 15 years,
Vanessa's in a world of trouble.

Babe, you ready for dinner?

Randy, I'm ready for a whole lot more
than dinner.

No, no.

I'm talking about something deeper than
that.

Randall McGee, I want to move in with
you.

Really?

I realize that you're much more
important to me than that job.

Screw that thing. I want to share your
life, your home, your medical and

I can't believe I'm getting a little
homemaker.

So, babe, does this mean there's going
to be a hot meal ready for me when I get

off work?

Are you going to pick it up on your way
home?

They said I'd never learn fractions.

And nine years later, I did.

They said I'd never pay off the house.

And 32 years from now, I will.

32 years?

I refinanced and they tricked me with
fractions.

Come on, Angie, please. My job's on the
line.

Okay, honey, let's think this thing
through.

This woman is smart. She has degrees.

She has business savvy. She has
unshakable confidence.

You have none of that.

You know what? Let me see if my head
fits in the oven.

What you do have is E -I.

Emotional intelligence.

Emotional intelligence.

You know what? Keep talking. I want to
hear more. Let me preheat.

No.

Seriously.

This is your advantage.

You really understand people.

Director, you sensed Vanessa was a shark
and I didn't.

That's emotional intelligence.

Yeah, but how is any of that going to
help me with her?

Tomorrow she's going to send out those
pink slips. She just don't care what's

going to happen to those people's lives.

Hey, who's getting pink slips?

Probably me and you both.

Oh, my God.

I can't lose my job.

I'm taking care of my parents.

You're going to be okay, Ernie.

You'll find another job. And do you know
why?

Because you, my friend, have emotional
intelligence.

keep floating to the top of the lake?

There was broken glass all over my
parking space and Lying Ho was painted

my name.

Hey, I didn't have anything to do with
that. Oh, I know. It was your mom. She

made me wait while she finished
painting.

I'm not like my mom.

I know when to walk away from a fight,
so if you want to fire those people,

let's do it.

Great. I think the flips are right here.

Mike Abbotsworth on the list.

Mike, you want to come in here?

Vanessa's got something to say to you.

Hi, Mike. Have a seat.

Listen, Mike, this is never easy, but
when two companies merge... Whoa,

whoa, whoa.

You know, let's save Mike the trouble of
going home and explaining it to his

family. All right, hang on.

You folks want to come in here?

Vanessa, this is Mike's mom, his wife
Donna, his kids Justin, Mike Jr., and

Sarah. I'm this many.

So, Vanessa, tell Mike and his family
about your idea to cut costs.

She's going to save the company this
many.

You know what?

We can just do this. later. It was very
nice to meet you all.

Okay, so a guy with three kids who's
taking care of his mom. You brought the

story. Sob story? Vanessa, they all have
families.

You want a sob story?

Ernie! Hey!

Get a cargo van and a couple of guys and
bring your mom in.

Hey, I'll take the flatbed. She could
use some sun.

Let's take a look.

Fire him.

Oh, that Harry Potter.

What the hell are the families doing
here?

George pulled the stunt to stop the
firing.

Look, I wanted to show her all the
families that were going to be affected.

A lot of people.

A lot of lives.

So is it done?

We don't have to, okay? We can keep the
20 jobs if every employee in this

factory agrees to work longer hours and
take a pay cut.

You are never going to get the employees
to agree to that.

You never underestimate George Lopez.

They said I'd never get the employees to
agree to that, and I did.

That's 12 to 15 years ahead of schedule.

How the hell did you pull that off?

Because I'm from the line, okay? And I
told them it had to be done.

And my workers trust me.

I think you can learn a little something
here, Vanessa.

Great work, George.

Oh, hold on, Jack.

I don't think we need two managers
around here.

So it's either me or Vanessa.

It's your choice.

I won.

I told you. I was the hero, Angie.

I saved everyone's job.

And you're looking at the only manager.

What happened to Vanessa?

They yanked her off the floor because
she had no people skills. Not like me.

Hello, how are you?

So they fired her? No, they promoted
her.

Something about her being good with
numbers and how that's important in a

president. I mean, sure, I'll be calling
her Mrs. Brooks when I report to her

now, but every time she signs my
paycheck, Angie, she'll know she's

winner!

Oh, by the way, I gotta take a little
pay cut, but it's cool, though, because

I'll be working more hours. But, George!

Don't take this away from me!

Sorry I didn't stick around and work. to
get fired, George.

I don't care about that job anymore.

I'm in love.

And I got a man who's gonna take care of
me.

I saved your job, Mom.

I saved all the job.

Oh, okay.

Never mind.
