- I've been hearing about

the Firefighters' Ball my entire life.

- I've got my date lined up.

An opera singer. She's super funny.

- I hear you have a great sense of humor.

- She's saving her voice for her performance tomorrow.

- I should be your wingman!

- I don't know if we should do the whole sling thing.

- It has the effect of making me look incredibly weak.

You'd look incredibly strong.

- You guys remember Gene, right?

- Oh, hey, Gene. - Everyone, this is my mom.

- Literally the spitting image of his mom.

Doesn't that make you uncomfortable?

- I would hate to be chief. I like my life the way it is.

- I'm gonna stop you right there, Phil.

Eddie does not want to be a chief.

- Did you tell the personnel office

that I didn't want that chief job?

[elevator grinds]

- Great, look what you did. We're stuck.

Did you screw me out of that chief job?

- No.

- Wolf Boykins says you did.

- Oh, you're gonna believe Wolf Boykins now?

A guy you publicly humiliated on multiple occasions?

- Is it true or not?

- It's not that simple. - That's it.

to get us out pretty easily, if they ever show up.

and that you liked your life the way it is,
