1
00:00:05,641 --> 00:00:09,639
It is sad, but you've
picked a wonderful place to die.
2
00:00:09,769 --> 00:00:11,162
This is the library.
3
00:00:11,293 --> 00:00:13,599
There are many fine works
of literature to peruse,
4
00:00:13,730 --> 00:00:15,253
but of course we are limited
5
00:00:15,340 --> 00:00:17,908
to whatever
the Livings are perusing
6
00:00:18,039 --> 00:00:20,128
because of our inability
7
00:00:20,215 --> 00:00:22,347
to interact with
the physical world.
8
00:00:23,740 --> 00:00:25,742
Yeah, this being a ghost thing
is wild.
9
00:00:25,872 --> 00:00:27,657
Oh, and that big Viking guy
10
00:00:27,787 --> 00:00:29,789
was telling me something about
ghost powers.
11
00:00:29,963 --> 00:00:31,574
Do you have one of those?
12
00:00:33,750 --> 00:00:35,404
No.
13
00:00:35,578 --> 00:00:36,753
There she is.
14
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:37,841
So it's true.
15
00:00:37,928 --> 00:00:39,799
Um, hello.
16
00:00:39,930 --> 00:00:42,759
I'm Nigel,
and this is Creepy Dirk.
17
00:00:42,889 --> 00:00:44,239
We live in the basement.
18
00:00:44,413 --> 00:00:46,850
We're kind of the social elite
of the house.
19
00:00:46,980 --> 00:00:50,201
So, are you dating anyone yet?
20
00:00:50,375 --> 00:00:51,594
I died two days ago.
21
00:00:51,724 --> 00:00:53,552
There's always
a bit of a feeding frenzy
22
00:00:53,683 --> 00:00:55,250
when a new ghost arrives.
23
00:00:55,424 --> 00:00:59,167
Welcome. I'm Baxter, of
the Revolutionary shed ghosts.
24
00:00:59,341 --> 00:01:01,386
I hear you're a musician.
25
00:01:01,517 --> 00:01:03,084
Which is something
we have in common.
26
00:01:03,214 --> 00:01:05,173
I play the fife.
27
00:01:05,303 --> 00:01:06,522
Oh, that's nice.
28
00:01:06,652 --> 00:01:08,001
Okay, well,
29
00:01:08,132 --> 00:01:10,700
now the competition's grown
too intense.
30
00:01:10,830 --> 00:01:13,311
So it would be pointless for me
to throw my hat into the ring
31
00:01:13,398 --> 00:01:15,879
at this late date.
32
00:01:16,009 --> 00:01:17,750
Darn! Darn!
33
00:01:17,881 --> 00:01:20,753
Anyway, may the best man win.
34
00:01:22,799 --> 00:01:24,148
Isn't he...
35
00:01:24,235 --> 00:01:26,411
- Oh, yeah.
- Big-time. - Very much so.
36
00:01:31,416 --> 00:01:33,679
Jay, we're helping Trevor
brainstorm
37
00:01:33,810 --> 00:01:35,681
some gift ideas for his boss.
38
00:01:35,812 --> 00:01:37,596
If you were turning 50,
what would you want?
39
00:01:37,770 --> 00:01:39,424
Batman action figure,
40
00:01:39,511 --> 00:01:41,731
specifically
the 1966 Marx Bendable Batman.
41
00:01:41,861 --> 00:01:43,211
Did it shrivel
your desire for him,
42
00:01:43,385 --> 00:01:45,343
how quickly he came up
with that?
43
00:01:45,517 --> 00:01:47,258
Okay, you don't ask nerd boy
for help picking out a gift
44
00:01:47,432 --> 00:01:49,217
for a finance baller like Brett.
45
00:01:49,391 --> 00:01:51,523
I need to get this right.
46
00:01:51,654 --> 00:01:52,611
The pressure is on.
47
00:01:52,785 --> 00:01:54,787
This is for my boss!
48
00:01:54,874 --> 00:01:57,442
Gifts are tricky,
particularly for your superiors.
49
00:01:57,529 --> 00:01:59,314
One time, a butler gifted me
a silk scarf,
50
00:01:59,444 --> 00:02:02,143
and it actually earned him
a pay cut.
51
00:02:02,317 --> 00:02:04,275
He should not be able
to afford a silk scarf.
52
00:02:04,449 --> 00:02:06,843
Exactly. You don't want
to come on too strong,
53
00:02:06,973 --> 00:02:08,845
or you'll be perceived
as a kiss-ass.
54
00:02:08,975 --> 00:02:10,760
But you can't go too cheap,
55
00:02:10,890 --> 00:02:13,066
like when Sam got Jay's mom
that beer cozy.
56
00:02:14,764 --> 00:02:16,679
That was supposed to be ironic.
57
00:02:16,853 --> 00:02:18,550
Because she drinks tea.
58
00:02:18,681 --> 00:02:21,031
Oh, so the joke is that
it's useless to her. Good one.
59
00:02:21,205 --> 00:02:23,425
Ooh! What about a jaguar?
60
00:02:23,555 --> 00:02:26,254
I think a car is
coming on too strong.
61
00:02:26,384 --> 00:02:28,647
What? No, I'm talking
about the animal.
62
00:02:28,734 --> 00:02:32,085
Once trained,
jaguars make excellent pets.
63
00:02:32,216 --> 00:02:34,566
Though not
for the postal carrier.
64
00:02:34,697 --> 00:02:36,960
Your jaguar attacked
your mailman?
65
00:02:37,090 --> 00:02:38,266
Okay, that's got to be Hetty.
66
00:02:38,396 --> 00:02:40,877
They're also delicious to eat.
67
00:02:41,007 --> 00:02:44,402
A little gamy, actually,
for my taste.
68
00:02:44,533 --> 00:02:47,884
But their skulls make
handsome cocaine bowls.
69
00:02:48,014 --> 00:02:49,407
Maybe one of those.
70
00:02:49,581 --> 00:02:51,366
It's not too expensive,
and-and it's thoughtful,
71
00:02:51,540 --> 00:02:53,498
given what you've said
about your boss's predilections.
72
00:02:53,585 --> 00:02:55,413
Yeah, sure.
Sam, can you run over to Target,
73
00:02:55,500 --> 00:02:57,546
see if they have
any jaguar skull cocaine bowls
74
00:02:57,676 --> 00:02:59,374
left in stock?
75
00:02:59,504 --> 00:03:02,594
See? This discussion
was fruitful after all.
76
00:03:02,725 --> 00:03:04,074
What you doing?
77
00:03:04,205 --> 00:03:06,119
I'm waiting for Pete
to get back.
78
00:03:06,207 --> 00:03:08,861
He went to Jamaica to see if
any of my relatives are ghosts.
79
00:03:08,992 --> 00:03:11,864
Pete also cross ocean for Thor,
but much further.
80
00:03:12,038 --> 00:03:13,692
Greater risk he disappear.
81
00:03:13,823 --> 00:03:16,434
- What's your point?
- Just that Thor special, too.
82
00:03:16,565 --> 00:03:17,653
Okay.
83
00:03:17,740 --> 00:03:19,524
Howdy!
84
00:03:19,655 --> 00:03:22,048
Uhp, pardon me, I'm a little
shorthanded.
85
00:03:22,179 --> 00:03:23,789
Oh, Pete, you're back!
86
00:03:23,963 --> 00:03:26,227
Glad you back from Jamaica,
87
00:03:26,357 --> 00:03:27,532
which is much closer than Norway.
88
00:03:27,706 --> 00:03:29,186
So, tell me everything.
89
00:03:29,317 --> 00:03:31,971
How was your trip?
Did you locate any of my family?
90
00:03:32,102 --> 00:03:33,408
As a matter of fact, I did.
91
00:03:33,538 --> 00:03:35,148
Your grandmother, Hortense,
is a ghost.
92
00:03:35,236 --> 00:03:36,889
- Oh, my God. You talked to her?
- Yep.
93
00:03:37,020 --> 00:03:38,717
She is a peach of a lady.
94
00:03:38,848 --> 00:03:41,154
And she has a message for you.
Do you want me to do her accent?
95
00:03:41,329 --> 00:03:42,982
- No.
- Copy that.
96
00:03:43,113 --> 00:03:45,028
Well, she was thrilled to learn
that you're a singer.
97
00:03:45,158 --> 00:03:46,769
She still remembers you
as a three-year-old
98
00:03:46,943 --> 00:03:49,641
belting out spirituals
on a summer Sunday.
99
00:03:49,772 --> 00:03:51,991
Alberta, she was just beaming
with pride about you.
100
00:03:52,165 --> 00:03:54,603
I'm touched that you would
do this for me.
101
00:03:54,777 --> 00:03:57,388
- Honestly, I'm getting a little choked up.
- Aw, yeah.
102
00:03:57,519 --> 00:03:59,129
Donna thought
you might react that way.
103
00:03:59,260 --> 00:04:01,784
I'm sorry, what? You saw Donna?
104
00:04:01,958 --> 00:04:03,960
Your ex-girlfriend Donna?
105
00:04:04,047 --> 00:04:05,091
Yeah, yeah.
I was in the neighborhood,
106
00:04:05,178 --> 00:04:06,354
so I thought, "Why not?"
107
00:04:06,484 --> 00:04:08,356
Yeah. Why not?
108
00:04:08,486 --> 00:04:10,967
Because they used to
have intercourse.
109
00:04:11,054 --> 00:04:13,186
- Could be awkward.
- Oh, come on.
110
00:04:13,274 --> 00:04:15,363
We're just friends.
It's not awkward at all.
111
00:04:15,537 --> 00:04:16,842
If you say so.
112
00:04:16,973 --> 00:04:20,019
Uh, Sam? We got to talk.
113
00:04:20,150 --> 00:04:22,674
Oh. Trevor just came in
looking concerned.
114
00:04:22,848 --> 00:04:25,068
Well, I settled on a
birthday gift for my boss Brett,
115
00:04:25,242 --> 00:04:27,505
and it did not go over
how I'd hoped.
116
00:04:27,636 --> 00:04:29,855
- What'd you get him?
- It's called a stripper-gram.
117
00:04:29,986 --> 00:04:31,640
Oh, my God.
118
00:04:31,770 --> 00:04:33,772
Trevor got Brett a stripper-gram
for his birthday.
119
00:04:33,859 --> 00:04:37,210
The Brettinator?
I bet he loved that, right?
120
00:04:37,298 --> 00:04:40,301
He did. It's just,
Human Resources did not.
121
00:04:40,431 --> 00:04:43,652
Okay, I'm taking from context
clues that a stripper-gram
122
00:04:43,826 --> 00:04:45,393
is like a telegram,
123
00:04:45,480 --> 00:04:47,612
but the message is delivered
by some sort of harlot.
124
00:04:47,743 --> 00:04:49,875
She was dressed
as an HVAC repairwoman.
125
00:04:49,962 --> 00:04:52,443
The bit being that she felt
it was so hot in Brett's office
126
00:04:52,574 --> 00:04:54,445
that she could not perform
her duties clothed.
127
00:04:54,576 --> 00:04:56,229
Forget the stripping,
I'm hooked on the plot.
128
00:04:56,317 --> 00:04:58,884
Apparently, stupid Linda
from accounting happened by,
129
00:04:59,015 --> 00:05:00,930
reported the whole thing.
130
00:05:01,060 --> 00:05:03,585
Didn't even let Candi
get to the big finish.
131
00:05:03,672 --> 00:05:06,152
So what does this mean?
Are you fired?
132
00:05:06,283 --> 00:05:08,241
Not exactly, but it's bad.
133
00:05:08,372 --> 00:05:11,027
HR wants to see me tomorrow,
in person.
134
00:05:11,157 --> 00:05:12,681
But you can't go in person.
135
00:05:12,811 --> 00:05:14,639
And even if you could,
they could not see you.
136
00:05:14,813 --> 00:05:18,556
HR wants to see Trevor tomorrow,
in New York, in person.
137
00:05:18,643 --> 00:05:19,862
Okay.
138
00:05:19,992 --> 00:05:21,777
This is simple.
139
00:05:21,907 --> 00:05:24,954
Young Jay must simply redon
his persona of Michael Jackson,
140
00:05:25,084 --> 00:05:27,609
which he did so successfully at
the work retreat at Woodstone,
141
00:05:27,696 --> 00:05:30,046
and head into the city
in Trevor's stead.
142
00:05:30,133 --> 00:05:31,264
The ghosts are saying...
143
00:05:31,395 --> 00:05:32,657
I know what they're saying, Sam.
144
00:05:32,831 --> 00:05:35,878
They want me to get chewed out
by HR on Trevor's behalf.
145
00:05:36,008 --> 00:05:37,096
Well, guess what.
146
00:05:37,227 --> 00:05:39,055
I'm not doing it!
147
00:05:39,229 --> 00:05:40,273
Uh, Jay...
148
00:05:40,448 --> 00:05:42,363
No, don't "Jay" me, okay?
149
00:05:42,450 --> 00:05:43,842
It's a nonstarter.
150
00:05:43,929 --> 00:05:45,931
What do I care
if a ghost lost their job?
151
00:05:46,018 --> 00:05:48,543
Frankly, I think it's weird
that a ghost has a job at all,
152
00:05:48,673 --> 00:05:50,806
and I don't think
that's a controversial opinion!
153
00:05:50,936 --> 00:05:52,808
Are you gonna tell him
or should I, Sam?
154
00:05:52,938 --> 00:05:56,507
The thing is, we're sort of...
how do I put this?...
155
00:05:56,638 --> 00:05:59,292
uh, dependent on Trevor's salary
156
00:05:59,423 --> 00:06:01,164
to stay financially solvent.
157
00:06:01,251 --> 00:06:03,253
Excuse me?
158
00:06:03,340 --> 00:06:06,082
It's just, we've encountered
so many unexpected expenses,
159
00:06:06,212 --> 00:06:07,823
and I tried to make
the numbers work,
160
00:06:07,910 --> 00:06:09,520
but the math
wasn't mathing, Jay.
161
00:06:09,607 --> 00:06:11,740
So No Pants has been
keeping us afloat?
162
00:06:11,870 --> 00:06:14,090
Ironic for a guy who was fished
out of the bottom of a lake.
163
00:06:14,220 --> 00:06:15,396
I wanted to tell you,
164
00:06:15,526 --> 00:06:18,181
but I also didn't want
to stress you out.
165
00:06:18,311 --> 00:06:19,487
You've been working so hard,
166
00:06:19,617 --> 00:06:21,402
trying to get the restaurant
up and running.
167
00:06:21,532 --> 00:06:23,621
But what about the list?
We-we got on the list.
168
00:06:23,752 --> 00:06:25,536
And it's helping some.
We're getting busier,
169
00:06:25,710 --> 00:06:28,104
and that's great momentum
that we need to build on.
170
00:06:28,234 --> 00:06:30,498
But we're not profitable yet.
171
00:06:30,628 --> 00:06:32,935
What about your book?
You were a stocking stuffer.
172
00:06:33,109 --> 00:06:35,546
And again, that's great,
but it's not exactly a windfall.
173
00:06:35,633 --> 00:06:37,505
I mean, most authors
also have a day job.
174
00:06:37,635 --> 00:06:38,723
Candi's an author.
175
00:06:38,854 --> 00:06:40,769
It's absolute smut
but well told.
176
00:06:40,899 --> 00:06:42,640
So, wh-what are you saying, Sam?
177
00:06:42,771 --> 00:06:46,949
I'm saying we won't need
Trevor's money, eventually.
178
00:06:47,123 --> 00:06:49,299
But if we want to make it
to summer,
179
00:06:49,430 --> 00:06:52,041
we got to save Trevor's job.
180
00:06:54,522 --> 00:06:56,698
Looks like Michael Jackson
is going to HR.
181
00:07:02,660 --> 00:07:04,401
Let me ask you guys something.
182
00:07:04,532 --> 00:07:06,185
Do you think it's okay for
someone to make a special trip
183
00:07:06,359 --> 00:07:08,057
to see their ex when
they're dating someone else?
184
00:07:08,187 --> 00:07:10,451
It wasn't a special trip.
I was in the neighborhood.
185
00:07:10,581 --> 00:07:12,540
Is Saint Lucia in the
neighborhood, though?
186
00:07:12,670 --> 00:07:14,193
I'm not a geography expert,
187
00:07:14,367 --> 00:07:15,891
but I feel like
you have to go out of your way.
188
00:07:16,021 --> 00:07:17,980
Well, you know, the Caribbean
isn't that big of a place.
189
00:07:18,154 --> 00:07:21,070
Caribbean Islands span over
thousand miles east to west.
190
00:07:21,157 --> 00:07:22,811
You know that because of
your Viking voyages?
191
00:07:22,898 --> 00:07:24,377
No.
192
00:07:24,552 --> 00:07:26,641
Captain Sandy sailed ship
out of Antigua,
193
00:07:26,728 --> 00:07:28,556
season eight, Below Deck.
194
00:07:28,643 --> 00:07:31,341
Reality TV is a fount of wisdom.
It doesn't get enough credit.
195
00:07:31,472 --> 00:07:33,561
Donna and I are just friends.
196
00:07:33,648 --> 00:07:35,214
It's still weird.
She might be into you.
197
00:07:35,345 --> 00:07:37,695
But I'm not into her,
so it doesn't matter.
198
00:07:37,826 --> 00:07:40,350
Okay, well, that
British shed ghost Baxter and I
199
00:07:40,524 --> 00:07:42,308
had a thing back in '29.
200
00:07:42,439 --> 00:07:44,702
Would it bother you
if he and I started hanging out?
201
00:07:44,833 --> 00:07:46,225
As friends, of course.
202
00:07:46,312 --> 00:07:48,184
I was there when they met.
203
00:07:48,314 --> 00:07:49,968
It was love at first fife.
204
00:07:50,055 --> 00:07:52,318
Actually, "love" is
a bit of an overstatement.
205
00:07:52,405 --> 00:07:54,538
I needed it
for the turn of phrase.
206
00:07:55,365 --> 00:07:56,888
You know what?
207
00:07:56,975 --> 00:07:58,760
I-I think if you wanted
to catch up with your ex Baxter,
208
00:07:58,890 --> 00:07:59,891
I would be fine with it.
209
00:08:00,065 --> 00:08:01,763
Okay.
210
00:08:01,893 --> 00:08:03,939
"Okay," like we're good
and that's the end of it?
211
00:08:04,026 --> 00:08:05,506
Yep.
212
00:08:09,118 --> 00:08:11,468
Thor not think
that the end of it.
213
00:08:13,426 --> 00:08:15,777
Okay, Trevor is gonna give you
a crash course
214
00:08:15,951 --> 00:08:18,431
in everything you need to know
about your character:
215
00:08:18,562 --> 00:08:20,782
Michael Jackson,
financial analyst.
216
00:08:20,956 --> 00:08:22,566
What the hell is my life?
217
00:08:22,697 --> 00:08:25,134
Born on the outskirts
of the Motor City...
218
00:08:25,264 --> 00:08:26,657
I don't think we have time
219
00:08:26,788 --> 00:08:28,485
to go through
the entire backstory, Trevor.
220
00:08:28,616 --> 00:08:30,139
Yeah, maybe just give me
the must-knows.
221
00:08:30,269 --> 00:08:31,706
Okay.
222
00:08:31,836 --> 00:08:34,186
First of all,
there's a major flirtation
223
00:08:34,317 --> 00:08:35,710
with my coworker Maggie,
224
00:08:35,884 --> 00:08:38,016
who you know from
the work retreat we had here.
225
00:08:38,190 --> 00:08:40,845
So, there's a flirtatious thing
going on with Maggie.
226
00:08:40,976 --> 00:08:42,717
But he says
to keep it respectful.
227
00:08:42,847 --> 00:08:44,196
No, I didn't.
228
00:08:44,327 --> 00:08:46,721
Trust me, Maggie does not
appreciate respectful.
229
00:08:46,808 --> 00:08:48,070
Wait, time-out, Sam.
230
00:08:48,200 --> 00:08:49,811
Why do I need to know
any of this?
231
00:08:49,941 --> 00:08:52,814
I'm just going to ask HR
to forgive Michael Jackson
232
00:08:52,988 --> 00:08:54,946
for sending his boss
a stripper-gram.
233
00:08:55,077 --> 00:08:57,645
Okay, but you're going
into the lion's den, baby.
234
00:08:57,819 --> 00:09:00,038
You have no idea
who you're gonna meet,
235
00:09:00,169 --> 00:09:01,518
and you need to be prepared.
236
00:09:01,605 --> 00:09:03,041
Also, can you find out
what happened
237
00:09:03,172 --> 00:09:03,999
with Candi and the HVAC?
238
00:09:04,173 --> 00:09:06,175
I am dying to know.
239
00:09:06,305 --> 00:09:07,524
He says that
you just need to be ready,
240
00:09:07,655 --> 00:09:09,265
in case you run into anybody.
241
00:09:09,395 --> 00:09:10,832
Okay. Continue.
242
00:09:10,962 --> 00:09:13,399
So, if he runs into
anybody on my team,
243
00:09:13,530 --> 00:09:15,706
this is definitely
gonna come up.
244
00:09:17,621 --> 00:09:19,492
Okay.
245
00:09:19,667 --> 00:09:21,320
Michael Jackson is
currently closing a deal
246
00:09:21,494 --> 00:09:23,235
for the McDaniels Corporation,
who makes soap,
247
00:09:23,322 --> 00:09:25,803
to acquire the McCallister
Corporation, who makes sponges.
248
00:09:25,934 --> 00:09:28,066
Now, McDaniels is
offering 30 million,
249
00:09:28,240 --> 00:09:29,720
but McCallister wants 40,
250
00:09:29,851 --> 00:09:31,417
but Trevor thinks
you'll close at 35
251
00:09:31,548 --> 00:09:34,246
and then celebrate
at Peter Luger's with the CEOs,
252
00:09:34,333 --> 00:09:36,988
Conan McDaniels
and Galen McCallister.
253
00:09:37,119 --> 00:09:39,512
Sam, I'm not gonna remember
any of that.
254
00:09:39,643 --> 00:09:40,818
Also, I told them
I could moonwalk,
255
00:09:40,949 --> 00:09:42,907
so make sure
Jay is prepared for that.
256
00:09:43,081 --> 00:09:44,692
- Seriously?
- What?
257
00:09:44,866 --> 00:09:47,085
How are your moonwalking skills?
258
00:09:47,216 --> 00:09:49,348
Not good, Sam.
259
00:09:49,435 --> 00:09:51,437
Not good!
260
00:09:51,568 --> 00:09:53,483
Well, it is really good
261
00:09:53,614 --> 00:09:55,006
to catch up with you, Baxter.
262
00:09:56,573 --> 00:09:58,880
Hey, guys.
What's, uh, going on in here?
263
00:09:59,010 --> 00:10:02,013
Oh, just hanging out
with a friend,
264
00:10:02,144 --> 00:10:03,319
doing a little catching up.
265
00:10:03,493 --> 00:10:04,799
- You okay with that?
- Of course.
266
00:10:04,886 --> 00:10:06,539
Yeah, two friends catching up.
267
00:10:06,714 --> 00:10:08,977
What could be more wholesome
or totally okay than that?
268
00:10:09,107 --> 00:10:12,197
It's just, we have so much
in common, Alberta and I.
269
00:10:12,328 --> 00:10:14,809
For instance,
the whole music thing.
270
00:10:14,896 --> 00:10:16,245
Right.
271
00:10:16,375 --> 00:10:17,812
You know, I played
a mean oboe in my day.
272
00:10:17,942 --> 00:10:20,728
That's nice, although I died
with my instrument,
273
00:10:20,858 --> 00:10:23,513
- so it's sort of a different kettle of fish.
- Mm.
274
00:10:23,687 --> 00:10:25,689
Well, good for you.
275
00:10:25,863 --> 00:10:29,606
Ha! You remind me
of my flatmate Jenkins.
276
00:10:29,737 --> 00:10:31,826
He's always saying that.
277
00:10:31,956 --> 00:10:32,914
"Goody for you."
278
00:10:33,044 --> 00:10:35,133
Oh, my God!
279
00:10:35,264 --> 00:10:37,745
You do
the best Jenkins impression.
280
00:10:37,875 --> 00:10:40,051
How was that an impression?
281
00:10:40,182 --> 00:10:42,184
They're both just British.
He barely changed his voice.
282
00:10:42,358 --> 00:10:43,794
This is an impression:
283
00:10:43,925 --> 00:10:46,188
"I am not a crook."
284
00:10:46,362 --> 00:10:48,103
Oh. Is that Trevor?
285
00:10:48,190 --> 00:10:49,234
No, it's Nixon.
286
00:10:49,365 --> 00:10:50,888
Here's one for you:
287
00:10:50,975 --> 00:10:53,325
"How 'bout we all pop out
to the shed?"
288
00:10:53,412 --> 00:10:54,849
- Nigel! Classic!
- Ha!
289
00:10:54,936 --> 00:10:56,328
In one. Well done.
290
00:10:56,459 --> 00:10:57,939
It's not...
Th-They all sound the same!
291
00:10:58,113 --> 00:10:59,984
Are you all right, Peter?
292
00:11:00,158 --> 00:11:02,247
No! I'm not all right.
293
00:11:02,378 --> 00:11:04,075
This is my girl,
and if she's gonna be laughing
294
00:11:04,162 --> 00:11:05,903
at any impressions,
they're gonna be mine!
295
00:11:06,034 --> 00:11:08,210
Oh, my. I'm deeply sorry.
296
00:11:08,340 --> 00:11:10,299
You know what?
297
00:11:10,429 --> 00:11:12,301
Go fife yourself!
298
00:11:13,302 --> 00:11:14,999
I'm sorry that you had to do
299
00:11:15,173 --> 00:11:17,915
this whole, uh,
"come in and talk to HR" thing.
300
00:11:18,046 --> 00:11:20,004
I mean, honestly, I thought
the stripper-gram rocked.
301
00:11:20,135 --> 00:11:22,441
Oh, well, that's very kind
of you, Brettinator.
302
00:11:22,572 --> 00:11:24,095
No, seriously,
303
00:11:24,182 --> 00:11:25,880
no one has the balls to send
a real present anymore.
304
00:11:25,967 --> 00:11:27,925
Hey, so how about McCallister
305
00:11:28,056 --> 00:11:29,884
- with that counter?
- Oh, yeah.
306
00:11:30,014 --> 00:11:31,799
Be honest, what do you think
about that termination fee?
307
00:11:31,929 --> 00:11:34,758
Oh, it was brutal.
308
00:11:35,803 --> 00:11:39,545
Or good, depending on if you are
McCallister or McDaniels,
309
00:11:39,720 --> 00:11:41,983
vis-à-vis the counter.
310
00:11:43,419 --> 00:11:45,813
Hey, you-you guys
want to see me moonwalk?
311
00:11:45,987 --> 00:11:47,684
Uh... hell yeah, we do!
312
00:11:47,771 --> 00:11:48,772
Okay.
313
00:11:48,946 --> 00:11:50,556
Thought you'd never ask.
314
00:11:50,731 --> 00:11:52,515
Ooh!
315
00:11:52,645 --> 00:11:54,778
- Ooh!
- Oh!
316
00:11:54,865 --> 00:11:57,433
You're the smooth criminal, MJ.
317
00:11:57,563 --> 00:11:59,478
Ow! ...are you doing?
318
00:11:59,609 --> 00:12:01,829
I am Michael Jackson.
319
00:12:02,003 --> 00:12:03,787
Anthony Valerie from HR.
320
00:12:03,874 --> 00:12:06,311
Okay, so we'll just
leave you guys to it.
321
00:12:06,398 --> 00:12:08,661
Good luck, MJ.
322
00:12:09,706 --> 00:12:11,490
Thank you for coming in,
Mr. Jackson.
323
00:12:11,621 --> 00:12:12,927
Oh, no, no, it's no problem.
324
00:12:13,057 --> 00:12:14,363
And I just want to say
right off the bat
325
00:12:14,493 --> 00:12:16,495
that I know that the
stripper-gram was in poor taste,
326
00:12:16,626 --> 00:12:18,019
and it'll never happen again.
327
00:12:18,149 --> 00:12:19,672
Here's the thing.
328
00:12:19,847 --> 00:12:21,936
Once we started interviewing
people about the incident,
329
00:12:22,023 --> 00:12:24,025
other complaints emerged
regarding your time here.
330
00:12:27,376 --> 00:12:29,770
Take a seat, Mr. Jackson.
We have a lot to talk about.
331
00:12:35,210 --> 00:12:37,212
October 4th, while referencing
a new Slack headshot
332
00:12:37,386 --> 00:12:39,736
of a female coworker,
you commented,
333
00:12:39,823 --> 00:12:41,782
"Giggity, giggity, giggity."
334
00:12:41,869 --> 00:12:44,436
Which a quick Google search
reveals to be
335
00:12:44,610 --> 00:12:47,265
the horny catchphrase of
a popular animated pervert.
336
00:12:47,396 --> 00:12:50,573
Yeah, I was unaware
of that phrase's origins,
337
00:12:50,703 --> 00:12:53,141
and I deeply apologize for that.
338
00:12:53,228 --> 00:12:54,969
October 10th.
339
00:12:55,099 --> 00:12:57,841
You asked your entire team
to, quote, "send nudes."
340
00:12:57,972 --> 00:13:01,018
You know, I think I-I meant
to type, um, "send news."
341
00:13:01,105 --> 00:13:02,715
You know, I'm a huge news buff,
342
00:13:02,846 --> 00:13:05,806
but I'm also so busy that
I don't have time to locate it.
343
00:13:05,936 --> 00:13:07,764
It's a difficult combination.
344
00:13:07,895 --> 00:13:09,679
Look, I get it...
boys will be boys,
345
00:13:09,810 --> 00:13:11,246
and this is
the finance industry,
346
00:13:11,376 --> 00:13:13,422
but it's not the '90s.
347
00:13:13,596 --> 00:13:15,337
People don't act
this way anymore.
348
00:13:15,467 --> 00:13:17,121
You're right.
349
00:13:17,252 --> 00:13:19,820
I joined this industry at a time
when things were different,
350
00:13:19,907 --> 00:13:21,299
and-and I've had
trouble adjusting,
351
00:13:21,430 --> 00:13:23,388
but I am committed
to correcting my behavior.
352
00:13:23,475 --> 00:13:25,608
My mother raised
a better man than this.
353
00:13:26,391 --> 00:13:28,393
I hear that.
354
00:13:28,524 --> 00:13:30,787
We're all just out here trying
to make our moms proud, right?
355
00:13:30,961 --> 00:13:33,442
Right? My mom always says,
356
00:13:33,572 --> 00:13:35,270
"You can't make
a perfect khichdi.
357
00:13:35,444 --> 00:13:38,273
You just have to keep tasting it
and trying to make it better."
358
00:13:38,447 --> 00:13:40,231
And that is how I treat my life.
359
00:13:40,405 --> 00:13:42,277
Yeah. That's really good.
360
00:13:42,407 --> 00:13:44,409
And kind of familiar.
Where have I heard that before?
361
00:13:44,583 --> 00:13:46,324
I-I just came up with it.
362
00:13:46,455 --> 00:13:47,673
No, it's
a pretty specific anecdote,
363
00:13:47,848 --> 00:13:48,849
and I remember hearing it.
364
00:13:48,979 --> 00:13:50,372
Uh, wait.
365
00:13:50,502 --> 00:13:53,288
Have you ever listened
to The Todd Pod?
366
00:13:53,418 --> 00:13:55,725
I'm not sure.
367
00:13:55,856 --> 00:13:58,815
Huh, this chef said the
exact thing that you just said.
368
00:13:58,946 --> 00:14:02,036
Yep, here it is.
Chef Jay Arondekar.
369
00:14:02,863 --> 00:14:03,864
Wait a second.
370
00:14:04,038 --> 00:14:05,561
This is clearly you.
371
00:14:05,648 --> 00:14:07,432
No, not clearly.
372
00:14:07,519 --> 00:14:09,870
What the hell is going on,
Mr. Arondekar?
373
00:14:10,871 --> 00:14:14,048
Um... you want
to see me moonwalk?
374
00:14:15,136 --> 00:14:16,964
Well, I got fired.
Or Trevor got fired.
375
00:14:17,094 --> 00:14:18,879
Michael Jackson got fired?
I don't know.
376
00:14:18,966 --> 00:14:21,011
- We're fired.
- Seriously? What happened?
377
00:14:21,098 --> 00:14:22,839
You couldn't get Trevor
off the hook?
378
00:14:23,013 --> 00:14:24,275
No, I managed that all
pretty well.
379
00:14:24,449 --> 00:14:25,711
It wasn't easy.
380
00:14:25,886 --> 00:14:27,191
This guy's got a lot
of complaints about him.
381
00:14:27,278 --> 00:14:28,671
Given the speed at which you type,
382
00:14:28,801 --> 00:14:30,194
it's actually impressive
383
00:14:30,325 --> 00:14:31,848
how prolifically problematic
you manage to be.
384
00:14:31,979 --> 00:14:34,111
But then the HR guy
recognized me
385
00:14:34,285 --> 00:14:36,505
from our appearance
on The Todd Pod.
386
00:14:36,679 --> 00:14:38,550
Creepy Todd strikes again.
387
00:14:38,681 --> 00:14:40,552
He was willing to overlook
some light sexual harassment,
388
00:14:40,726 --> 00:14:42,903
but he drew the line
at identity fraud.
389
00:14:43,033 --> 00:14:44,992
So that's it. I'm fired.
390
00:14:45,122 --> 00:14:47,559
Security carried me out
mid-moonwalk.
391
00:14:47,733 --> 00:14:49,213
It was humiliating.
392
00:14:49,300 --> 00:14:51,781
Well, this day has taken a turn.
393
00:14:51,955 --> 00:14:54,653
Michael Jackson's good name
dragged through the mud.
394
00:14:54,784 --> 00:14:56,046
I'm sorry, Jay.
395
00:14:56,133 --> 00:14:57,352
I shouldn't have put you
in that situation.
396
00:14:57,482 --> 00:14:58,875
It's not just that.
397
00:14:59,006 --> 00:15:00,485
You lied to me.
398
00:15:00,572 --> 00:15:02,574
There shouldn't be
financial consequences for us
399
00:15:02,705 --> 00:15:04,228
if a ghost loses their job.
400
00:15:04,359 --> 00:15:05,751
Why didn't you just tell me
what was going on?
401
00:15:05,882 --> 00:15:07,144
I was just trying
to protect you.
402
00:15:07,275 --> 00:15:08,711
I didn't want you to worry.
403
00:15:08,885 --> 00:15:10,495
I don't need protecting.
404
00:15:10,669 --> 00:15:12,280
He's right, Sam.
405
00:15:12,410 --> 00:15:14,021
You don't hide secrets like that
from your spouse.
406
00:15:14,195 --> 00:15:16,762
Didn't you keep kind of
a whopper from Beatrice?
407
00:15:16,893 --> 00:15:18,895
The truth is,
I wasn't just protecting you.
408
00:15:19,026 --> 00:15:21,898
I... I was also
protecting myself.
409
00:15:22,029 --> 00:15:23,639
Oh, what does that
even mean, Sam?
410
00:15:23,769 --> 00:15:26,642
I was embarrassed, okay?
411
00:15:26,772 --> 00:15:28,774
You've made so much progress
on the restaurant,
412
00:15:28,949 --> 00:15:30,037
and it's only been a year.
413
00:15:30,124 --> 00:15:31,777
Meanwhile, on my side of things,
414
00:15:31,952 --> 00:15:34,519
we're five years in, and
the B and B is still struggling.
415
00:15:34,693 --> 00:15:36,957
Yeah, you're mad at me.
416
00:15:37,044 --> 00:15:39,394
Well, I get it.
That makes two of us.
417
00:15:45,052 --> 00:15:47,184
- So...
- So?
418
00:15:48,272 --> 00:15:51,275
I think it's possible
that you were right.
419
00:15:51,449 --> 00:15:52,494
A little louder.
420
00:15:52,668 --> 00:15:53,756
You were right.
421
00:15:53,930 --> 00:15:55,976
It bugged me.
422
00:15:56,063 --> 00:15:58,195
Even though I know you're not
gonna do anything with Baxter.
423
00:15:58,326 --> 00:15:59,414
You aren't, are you?
424
00:15:59,544 --> 00:16:00,502
No.
425
00:16:00,632 --> 00:16:03,026
Okay, good.
426
00:16:03,157 --> 00:16:06,508
Look, neither of us
did anything technically wrong
427
00:16:06,595 --> 00:16:08,901
spending time
with Donna or Baxter,
428
00:16:09,032 --> 00:16:10,816
but when you're in
a relationship, you have to
429
00:16:10,947 --> 00:16:12,514
consider how it's gonna make
the other person feel.
430
00:16:12,688 --> 00:16:14,516
I-I get that now. I do.
431
00:16:14,603 --> 00:16:17,301
And don't worry,
I won't go to Saint Lucia again.
432
00:16:17,475 --> 00:16:18,650
Thank you, Pete.
433
00:16:18,781 --> 00:16:19,869
Or Stockholm.
434
00:16:19,956 --> 00:16:21,610
Or Banff. Or Denver.
435
00:16:21,784 --> 00:16:23,525
- Pete.
- Sorry.
436
00:16:23,699 --> 00:16:26,180
I went on a bit of a tear when
I first discovered I could roam.
437
00:16:26,267 --> 00:16:27,442
This was way before
we were together.
438
00:16:27,616 --> 00:16:29,096
It's just kind of like,
everywhere I go,
439
00:16:29,226 --> 00:16:31,185
I'm the new ghost,
and you know how that is.
440
00:16:31,359 --> 00:16:33,013
- Oh, my God.
- But here's the thing.
441
00:16:33,143 --> 00:16:35,102
Yes, I can go
anywhere in the world,
442
00:16:35,276 --> 00:16:38,322
but there's nowhere I'd rather
be than right here with you.
443
00:16:38,409 --> 00:16:40,281
Oh, Pete.
444
00:16:42,935 --> 00:16:45,590
Hey, y-you didn't really think
445
00:16:45,721 --> 00:16:48,115
any of Baxter's impressions
were good, did you?
446
00:16:48,202 --> 00:16:50,378
Let it go.
447
00:16:50,508 --> 00:16:51,901
It just gets me steamed.
448
00:16:52,075 --> 00:16:55,296
I mean, it's an art form!
You got to respect it!
449
00:16:56,601 --> 00:16:58,255
Sam, I just want to apologize.
450
00:16:58,386 --> 00:17:00,431
I know I put you
in a really tough spot.
451
00:17:00,562 --> 00:17:03,086
I just wish that there was
something that I could do.
452
00:17:03,260 --> 00:17:05,523
Don't worry about it.
You were just trying to help.
453
00:17:05,654 --> 00:17:08,874
I shouldn't be in a position
where I needed your help.
454
00:17:09,005 --> 00:17:11,051
It's my fault
I can't run my own business.
455
00:17:11,138 --> 00:17:12,835
Look, Samantha,
I know you're struggling,
456
00:17:13,009 --> 00:17:14,924
but you're gonna
figure this out.
457
00:17:15,011 --> 00:17:16,447
We believe in you.
458
00:17:16,578 --> 00:17:18,058
And when you do,
459
00:17:18,145 --> 00:17:19,581
I think you're gonna
look back at this time
460
00:17:19,755 --> 00:17:21,365
with a lot of fondness.
461
00:17:21,496 --> 00:17:22,279
What do you mean?
462
00:17:22,453 --> 00:17:24,020
This time, right now,
463
00:17:24,151 --> 00:17:26,240
while you're grinding it out
464
00:17:26,370 --> 00:17:29,504
and-and living
in that uncertainty,
465
00:17:29,591 --> 00:17:31,854
I know it doesn't feel like it,
but that's the good stuff.
466
00:17:31,984 --> 00:17:33,029
He's right.
467
00:17:33,116 --> 00:17:34,465
Having a goal, having a purpose,
468
00:17:34,596 --> 00:17:36,250
like, that's such
a big part of life.
469
00:17:36,424 --> 00:17:38,469
And I miss that.
470
00:17:38,600 --> 00:17:40,471
Also eating.
That was good.
471
00:17:42,038 --> 00:17:44,127
Many times,
so-called "overnight success"
472
00:17:44,258 --> 00:17:46,956
only come after
years of failure.
473
00:17:47,087 --> 00:17:48,914
That's true. He's right, Sam.
474
00:17:49,089 --> 00:17:52,701
This actually embarrassing
for Thor to admit,
475
00:17:52,831 --> 00:17:54,442
but early in Thor's career,
476
00:17:54,529 --> 00:17:58,315
I struggle to even kill
just one Dane.
477
00:17:58,489 --> 00:18:01,231
But then Thor turn 13,
478
00:18:01,318 --> 00:18:03,277
and blood run like river.
479
00:18:03,364 --> 00:18:05,888
I guess tangentially
that's what we're saying.
480
00:18:06,671 --> 00:18:08,195
Thanks, guys.
481
00:18:08,325 --> 00:18:10,153
Oh, hey, babe.
482
00:18:10,284 --> 00:18:11,894
I was thinking about
what you said before,
483
00:18:12,024 --> 00:18:14,244
and I just want you to know
484
00:18:14,331 --> 00:18:17,682
that there is
no your thing or my thing.
485
00:18:17,856 --> 00:18:20,250
It's all our thing.
486
00:18:22,861 --> 00:18:24,211
He is a keeper.
487
00:18:24,298 --> 00:18:28,563
These kind words
will surely reap kind acts.
488
00:18:28,737 --> 00:18:29,912
Sex, I mean.
489
00:18:30,042 --> 00:18:31,305
There are no sides.
490
00:18:31,435 --> 00:18:34,090
We win as a team,
and we lose as a team.
491
00:18:34,221 --> 00:18:36,310
Besides, there wouldn't be
a restaurant without you.
492
00:18:36,440 --> 00:18:37,876
It was your idea.
493
00:18:38,007 --> 00:18:39,574
I guess it was, huh?
494
00:18:39,704 --> 00:18:41,010
I mean, it was right there.
495
00:18:41,141 --> 00:18:43,012
It wasn't like
she invented calculus.
496
00:18:43,186 --> 00:18:45,232
And we're making real strides
with the B and B.
497
00:18:45,406 --> 00:18:47,799
We got on that prestigious list
of small hotels.
498
00:18:47,930 --> 00:18:50,367
Thanks to the fact the list guy
was a huge cocaine fiend.
499
00:18:50,498 --> 00:18:53,544
And now our bookings are up.
500
00:18:53,675 --> 00:18:55,764
I mean, we're about to
turn a corner, I can feel it.
501
00:18:55,894 --> 00:18:58,506
You know, some of the ghosts
were saying
502
00:18:58,636 --> 00:19:00,203
we're actually gonna look back
on this time,
503
00:19:00,334 --> 00:19:03,119
on-on the struggle,
and we're gonna miss it.
504
00:19:03,250 --> 00:19:05,295
Sometimes they can be
pretty wise.
505
00:19:05,426 --> 00:19:07,471
I recall one evening,
506
00:19:07,645 --> 00:19:10,779
our wine steward dropped dead
right before a dinner party,
507
00:19:10,909 --> 00:19:16,001
so I was forced to wield
the corkscrew myself.
508
00:19:16,132 --> 00:19:20,702
In many ways, it was the
sweetest wine I've ever tasted.
509
00:19:20,832 --> 00:19:22,747
Some of them struggled
more than others.
510
00:19:28,710 --> 00:19:30,451
Am I crazy or is it, whenever
you're worried about money,
511
00:19:30,581 --> 00:19:32,409
that suddenly
a bunch of bills show up?
512
00:19:32,540 --> 00:19:34,846
No, we can keep complaining
or we can tighten our belts
513
00:19:35,020 --> 00:19:37,022
and do something about it.
514
00:19:37,109 --> 00:19:38,676
Look, you guys are resourceful.
515
00:19:38,763 --> 00:19:40,200
You'll find a way to hustle up
some extra income.
516
00:19:40,330 --> 00:19:41,984
Pete's right.
517
00:19:42,114 --> 00:19:43,855
Your feet are one pumice stone
away from being Web-ready.
518
00:19:43,986 --> 00:19:46,162
Okay, I meant like a bake sale.
My God, Trevor.
519
00:19:46,293 --> 00:19:49,339
Okay, I appreciate everyone's
ideas, but we will handle this.
520
00:19:49,513 --> 00:19:50,949
We're gonna be fine.
521
00:19:51,123 --> 00:19:52,516
Babe, this is a letter from the IRS.
522
00:19:52,690 --> 00:19:56,128
Apparently, I'm being
investigated for tax evasion
523
00:19:56,216 --> 00:20:00,698
because Michael Jackson hasn't
paid any taxes for two years!
524
00:20:00,785 --> 00:20:02,874
What? Trevor, you didn't
pay your taxes?
525
00:20:02,961 --> 00:20:05,137
I'm a ghost! I don't use
any government services.
526
00:20:05,268 --> 00:20:06,661
Also, Isaac told me
I didn't have to.
527
00:20:06,791 --> 00:20:08,532
He said it was taxation
without representation.
528
00:20:08,663 --> 00:20:11,405
Yes, Sam, please tell Jay
that his nonpayment
529
00:20:11,535 --> 00:20:13,842
stands on
firm philosophical grounds.
530
00:20:13,972 --> 00:20:16,453
We are so screwed!
531
00:20:16,584 --> 00:20:19,021
Uh, where exactly is Trevor
in the room?
532
00:20:19,151 --> 00:20:20,631
He's on the couch,
on my other side.
533
00:20:20,762 --> 00:20:23,895
Good. I want to make sure
I address this directly to him.
534
00:20:25,984 --> 00:20:29,597
Trevor, I forgive you.
535
00:20:29,727 --> 00:20:30,946
Ah.
536
00:20:31,076 --> 00:20:32,600
Right after I do this.
